Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

*Feint - My Sunset *

"So the current four of the Seraphim of the End are…?" She asked after some hesitation.

"Lord Michael, Lord Gabriel, Lady Uriel, and Lady Raphael," Sar smiled. "Lady Raphael is the youngest of the Seraphim of the End."

"Ah… I see. And, um, currently, how many other Seraphim are there?" She asked. 

"Not including the top four… zero."

"Zero?" She was pleasantly surprised.

"Zero." He confirmed.

"Ok, and this may be a hard question, but what is the rank above Star One Thousand?" She asked rather decisively.

"Her Majesty, the Supreme Deity!" A look of pride appeared on his face. "She is the strongest as she protects all living beings from the evil within this Solar System, and the evil within themselves!"

"The Supreme Deity…" Raven repeated with a grim expression.

"Does this answer all of your questions?" Sar asked gently. He was aware that these answers may aid Raven against his own people if she was powerful, but she wasn't, so he didn't care. 

Plus, even if Raven was named by Lady Raphael, this doesn't mean that she would take it easy on her; she obviously won't allow her to hurt any angels or ruin her plan!

*Sigh*

"Yep, I'm done…" Raven -who didn't know what was going on in Sar's head- sighed heavily. 

"Don't be stressed," Sar said with a smile after hearing her sigh, as if trying to reassure her. "Lady Raphael won't harm you, or allow anyone to harm you. You don't have to be stressed."

"I know… it's not that I can retaliate anyway, you can just squash me like a watermelon and I would not be able to see it coming!"

Hearing that, Sar merely smiled softly and didn't say a word. Instead, he kept looking at Raven like a country boy going out to the city for the first time.

"Ugh, I guess it's only appropriate… What questions do you have?" She asked reluctantly.

She was aware that this Sar was mainly answering her questions because he wanted to hear about his Lady, or rather Maya.

She can also clearly see that although he was still moving quite fast, his speed has decreased relative to when they first started moving. He wanted to hear something before arriving at their destination!

"No questions in particular," Sar shook his head slowly, his smile never changing. "I just would like to hear about Lady Raphael from you, you lived for her for a short period of time, right?"

"Ugh, a short period, huh?" Raven clenched her fists before relaxing slowly. "Uhm, I guess it was a short period of time… very short..."

"Was that everyone?" Maria asked out loud while looking around.

During the past few hours, The Raven's Guards have worked extremely hard in order to evaluate everyone into the Demon Realm. Even with the help of Gaia's supernatural control over everything on the planet, the task was by no means easy!

Under normal circumstances, even with Gaia's help, evacuating billions of people in mere hours would be impossible. However, out of the entire population of Earth, only the minority have stayed behind in the first place. And those who stayed were almost all soldiers with special abilities.

"Um, almost everyone…" Aella scratched her cheek in an expression that showed helplessness as she answered the question.

"What is it?" Maria narrowed her eyes, making her appear like a sapphire phoenix.

"Some people didn't want to leave…" Aella said.

"What? Who are they?" Maria gritted her teeth. They had all been working extremely hard to evacuate everyone, and some people didn't want to go? 

Not waiting for Aella to answer, Maria spread her azure aura all around her like a tide, almost covering the entire planet.

Raven and Kayla weren't the only ones who have undergone some serious changes. Maria had also been working harder and harder in order to release the power within her veins!

A long while back, when the portals first appeared. She and Maya were extremely injured by monsters, and almost died. At the time, Raven, or rather the 'real Kayla' who had taken over her body temporarily back then, had spent a lot of energy to save both their lives.

Out of the two girls, Maria's condition was without a doubt the most dangerous.

However, with her methods, the real Kayla had transferred Raven's mana and blood into her, transforming her from a mere Human into a Soul Weaver in the process.

The power that flows within Maria's veins is now that of a Soul Weaver. 

But, she was different from Raven even though they share the same source of power; the dominant power within her wasn't that of Raven's father, but rather that of her mother, Avavia, unlike Raven herself. 

That is to say, Maria doesn't have as much control over the shadows as Raven does. But instead, she has a different kind of power!

A little bit more than a month ago in the Demon Realm, Kayla had a conversation with Avavia. And at that time, Avavia had mentioned that the power Maria had inherited from her was called Soul of the Phoenix! 

At the time, she had also mentioned that she'd be taking care of Maria herself.

Needless to say, after that conversation, during the time Raven and Kayla went through the Mana Refinement process, Maria was under Avavia's care as well!

Overall, the new Maria is no weaker than Abbadon, Raven's Baneful Executioner; both had reached the limit of this planet! Both are resting at the rank of Star Nine!

Peering into the all sides of the planet, Maria could not help but show a look of disbelief. 

There were at least three million people that were left, and almost all of them were soldiers with abilities! They were all standing in formation, as if expecting to be called upon.

"What's the meaning of this?" Maria transmitted her voice through her aura. Her voice was sharp and reached everyone's ears like a cold breeze.

Those soldiers shuddered and quickly kneeled down. "Lady Maria, please allow us to participate in defending our home planet!"
