Chapter 1089: A Birth Marked By The Divine Mysteries



Celeste sat on a fluffy mat before him and helped carry one of Gina's twins. At the same time, Greta, Fiona, and Lyra held the others, aiding the women who had just delivered to putting their babies to sleep.

Suddenly, a thick mist began seeping into the main room.

"Huh! What's that?" Lyra exclaimed in surprise.

Orion lowered his gaze, observing the dense mist filling every corner of the room.

The other women noticed the unusual mist and instinctively activated the One-winged Sky Art. They rose into the air, clutching the newborns even more protectively.

"Something is going on," Orion muttered. He swiftly handed the newborns in his arms to Greta and Lyra. "Summon everyone in the household to stay together with the children. I'll go see what's happening," he added, his expression serious.

They nodded in understanding and immediately soared out of the main room simultaneously to carry out his orders.

Orion quickly headed out of the manor and, luckily, met Fifi, who was rushing in, dressed in combat attire with an inactive Gear Devourer holstered at her waist.

"Do you have any idea what's going on?" Orion asked, his eyes fixed on Fifi as she landed before him.

"No, the mist just appeared out of nowhere while I was in the middle of training. So I rushed back here as quickly as possible to find out what was happening," Fifi responded, frowning. She hadn't had a proper chance to assess the situation and had rushed back to ensure the household wasn't in danger.

"Do you think someone might have broken through the Primordial Barrier?" Fifi asked, glancing upward.

"No, I don't think that's the case. If someone had attempted to break through the Primordial Barrier, Ilse would have already informed us, but she hasn't. Go and stay with the others in case anything happens," Orion replied, shaking his head. He was confident in the protection that the Aegis of the Arctic Deity had left them and in Ilse's abilities.

However, if someone could break through the Primordial Barrier, all their efforts would be in vain, as that being would likely be a True god.

Fifi nodded seriously and soared into the manor, the door closing behind her.

Orion surveyed the entire manor before soaring into the sky.

As he ascended higher, he quickly spotted Zogar and Seth heading swiftly in his direction. Soon, they both arrived beside him.

"Chief, something is happening around the Golden Palace. We believe it's the cause of all this," Zogar said, his expression filled with concern.

"That goddess! We suspect she's behind this," Seth added, his voice tinged with suspicion.

Upon hearing their words, Orion frowned deeply and directed his gaze toward the location of the Golden Palace. Refocusing on them, he said, "Let's go check it out," before soaring in that direction.

When they arrived, they noticed that the fog around the Golden Palace was incredibly thick and was reaching its roof.

Soon, the sky darkened, casting a gloomy shadow over Paradise.

Orion, Seth, Zogar, and every other inhabitant of Paradise looked skyward.

"Tch! What's going on now?" Seth asked, his tone filled with irritation.

normal.

Orion, Seth, and Zogar entered the bedroom and were immediately astounded by the scene unfolding before them.

"What's going on?" Orion asked, quickly moving to the side of the queen-sized bed. His expression was filled with worry and concern as he observed Aurora, whose entire form was hidden behind a cocoon of both Divine and Vylkr energy.

"I don't know what's happening either. After I did all I could to help her deliver, she and the baby immediately entered this state. Though the baby has recovered, her situation only seems to be worsening," Ilse responded, her tone tinged with defeat. She was so tongue-tied that she couldn't even begin to explain.

Orion's gaze shifted to the baby in Ilse's arms. A light smile appeared as he saw her features, which resembled him and Aurora. Orion stretched out his hand and gently took the child from

Ilse.

"You're finally here," Orion muttered, cradling her in his arms.

Unexpectedly, the newborn opened its eyes. She didn't cry nor make a sound but merely stared

curiously at Orion.

"I and your mother already came up with a name for you. It's Liora. In a certain language, it

means our light. So what do you think about? Do you like your name?" Orion said with a smile. He wasn't surprised by the baby's calmness, especially considering who he and Aurora were.

It would have been more problematic if she was ordinary.

Liora only blinked at Orion and stretched her hand upwards as though attempting to touch his

face.

"I'm sorry, but I can't guarantee her safety with the Divine Mysteries at play. This might be a grand opportunity or a terrible situation, depending on her luck," Ilse said, clenching her hand into a fist as she acknowledged her inability to keep her word to him.

There was nothing she could do except hope for the best.

"I know you tried your best. There's no need to apologize," Orion replied, looking at Ilse with

a reassuring smile.

He wasn't going to blame her for the current situation. The fact that she had helped deliver

Liora proved that she had done her utmost. The only thing he could do now was trust Aurora and hope she could handle whatever she was currently facing.

Suddenly, Seth spoke up. "Chief, something's happening outside the Primordial Barrier," his

voice tinged with confusion.

Although communication from within Ilse's Golden Palace was as tricky as they had expected, he still received the report. But what he had learned was frightening.

Zogar's expression also conveyed worry and concern.

Orion turned to Seth. "What is it? Have the warriors uncovered something out of place this time?" he asked, his expression serious.
