Church]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the highest peak of the mountains in the southern region of the Kandam Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three majestic summits stood above all, crowned with elegant trees that bathed the land in dappled shade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snow-white leaves fluttered gently from their branches, drifting down to the earth below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Irisveil moved forward, crushing one of those leaves as she moved up towards the main base of Elyon's church.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her silver hair flowed behind her like a river of moonlight, eyes veiled beneath a delicate blindfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above her, the Grand Hall of Trinitas Cathedral stretched like a scar of light across the sky—holy, imposing, eternal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lady wearing a veil that covered her face walked just behind her, clasping her hands forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena quietly looked around the beautiful place, humming softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter what they talk about.\" Irisveil's serious voice made her glance up. \"Do not try to provoke the popes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't do anything—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do as I say, Helena.\" Irisveil interrupted, her voice serious. \"Now is not the time for your playing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena quietly nodded, choosing not to argue further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She already knew why the high council had been summoned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To speak of the hottest topic in the world—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The miracle child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fallen who bore both Anastasia and Elyon's light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A contradiction, herald, and....a threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now the Three Popes were about to decide what to do about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the gates of the cathedral, a hush settled like a snowfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clerics clad in flowing robes bowed deeply as Irisveil passed them, walking inside the huge door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Irisveil and Helena stepped through the sacred archway into the Grand Hall of Trinitas, the temperature shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place became warmer, heavier from the divinity that flowed here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three thrones stood at the far end of the hall, each occupied by a Pope representing the three gods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pope Donus sat on the left with a sullen face, one of his hands was missing from the previous fight with Samyaza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the right sat an old man with a warm expression on his wrinkled face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the Pope of God Adon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laurel Wen Raguel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The descendant of the archangel Raguel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—and in the center, wearing a golden robe, was the youngest of the three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had long beautiful red hair that flowed behind her, eyes brighter than anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was Pope Joan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice of Elyon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though her features may be ordinary, her presence was unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her every breath seemed to ripple the light itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being in the presence of the divinity of her god Elyon, she stood the strongest here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Irisveil moved closer before she took her seat opposite them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena quietly sat down beside her master without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the regulations of the church, a holylady is as much important as the pope so they don't have to show their respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donus was the first to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before we even start arguing, let me make one thing clear.\" He said, looking at them. \"I'm thoroughly against him representing the church.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His right hand slammed on the circular table in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are we even considering it!?\" He barked, clearly annoyed. \"Having a fallen here is heresy and an insult to the church.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you implying that we should give up on an Avatar?\" Laurel's voice echoed as he warmly looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We still have Elijah as Elyon's Avatar.\" Donus argued, glaring at him. \"He can take—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elijah is a fallen as well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not pure fallen.\" Donus said, looking at him. \"We can't even say he is fallen because of his white wings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what makes you think Himmel isn't one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donus drew in a deep breath, trying to calm himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laurel has a habit of trying to argue with him, and it couldn't have been more obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Himmel has three pairs of wings.\" Donus said, glaring at the old man. \"That represents the purest form of fallen. Except Samyaza, he is the only one to have them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Laurel quieted down as he stared at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donus has made his words clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Himmel could be at the level of the fallen angel Samyaza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The progenitor of the Aljanah family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Correct me if I am wrong.\" Laurel said, leaning back on the throne. \"But, you oppose him not because he is fallen but because he could be 'him', right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\".....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donus' anger flared up as he stood up from his throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laurel was right. Donus feared what would happen if Himmel met with Ethan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And fully aware of Ethan's mentality and Himmel's strength....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be a crushing defeat of Elohim's Avatar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he would never allow that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....But before Donus could even move, Joan raised her finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place was engulfed in silence as Donus took back his seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Laurel.\" Joan spoke, staring at the old man. \"Are you saying God Elyon chose an Exiled Prince as his Avatar?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not, Lady Joan.\" Laurel firmly shook his head. \"Maybe God Elyon made a mistake—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Careful, Laurel.\" Joan cut in his words. \"I won't tolerate anyone insulting my God.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laurel took in a deep breath, calming himself down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"God Adon did not choose Ragnar as his Avatar, but he became one by taking it away from the holy child.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laurel explained, staring dead into Joan's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What if Himmel is the same? What if he is also like Ragnar—.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is nothing like Ragnar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Irisveil's voice echoed within the place, making them turn towards her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unlike him, Himmel is pure and innocent who had been through a lot and I have met him before....he never had a soul of Elyon in him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then how did he become an Avatar?\" Joan asked, frowning her brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't know.\" She shook her head. \"Unless I check it for myself...I can't be sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joan nodded her head calmly, leaning on her throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips parted slowly as she whispered, \"Elyon has spoken. The boy is not to be harmed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That doesn't mean we must endorse him!\" Donus snapped. \"You speak of Elyon's will, but I question whether you truly interpret it clearly—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joan's one look made him notice his mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Elyon's Voice,\" Joan said, her tone like thunder wrapped in light. \"And His will is not yours to question, Donus.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a second, the silhouette of six golden wings shimmered behind her—brief, but undeniable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donus gritted his teeth and sat back, refusing to bow but choosing silence over disobedience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joan continued, \"This child—this Himmel—is not merely an anomaly. He is the mirror of our world's hypocrisy. If we reject him, we reject the possibility of losing faith.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laurel gave a small clap. \"Well said.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joan returned her gaze back to the blindfolded woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You were the first to make contact. Your opinion weighs heavily in this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Irisveil softly nodded as she leaned back on her chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took her time to think it through before answering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does the archangel family have to say about this?\" Helena asked, taking the attention of the three popes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Same as us.\" Laurel replied warmly. \"One is opposed to the idea, another wants him, and one is neutral.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena nodded quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joan leaned forward. \"What would you have us do, Irisveil?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't force him to kneel to the church,\" Irisveil replied. \"Invite him. Let him choose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena blinked, surprised by her master's leniency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Donus looked like he was about to erupt again, but Joan raised her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then it is decided.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice boomed in the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Church shall not declare Himmel an enemy. Nor shall we label him a savior. He would either be claimed or eliminated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena raised her hand. \"May I speak?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Joan tilted her head. \"Yes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What makes you think you can eliminate him?\" She asked, a soft smile on her veiled face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excuse me?\" Joan looked at her in utter confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm saying,\" Helena's lips curled up in a small smile, \"What is the lowly church in front of that behemoth—?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Helena!\" Irisveil snapped, glaring at her student. \"Shut up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She clicked her tongue, looking away as the popes gave her the coldest look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sudden voice from the door made them look forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A soldier walked inside before kneeling down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have news.\" He said, his voice grim. \"Another city has been massacred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you packed everything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diana's voice made me glance at her as we walked through the corridor of the Segyal household.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have everything in my bracelet,\" I replied, showing her my wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You worry too much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady Mariam asked me to look after you,\" she replied, returning to her stoic maid expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And honestly, I'm more worried about the church.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha. Ha. Very funny.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I replied, making my way toward the open garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, how are things going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Would've been better if the heir had done it himself,\" she replied, glaring at me for some reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But no, he's just a brat running away from his duties.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, whatever,\" I said, waving my hand dismissively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've got better things to do, like going to the church.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try not to flirt your way into another battle,\" she muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No promises.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teleportation portal hummed softly at the end of the garden as we moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, I felt Diana tug my sleeve, making me halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If things go south at the church,\" she said slowly, \"don't wait for orders. Run.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Why do you say that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a feeling,\" she whispered, then let go. \"Just... don't be a hero, Himmel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled. \"I promise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She nodded as I looked back at the teleportation portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few people were already standing there waiting for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're late,\" Elijah grumbled, and Heather stood beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How's your health?\" I asked, looking at the werewolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine,\" she replied, smiling softly. \"Again, thanks for saving me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't mention it,\" I replied, looking around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Is Amaury alright?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's been so long since I've seen him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Last I checked, he moved back to his parents' home and never came back.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I should meet him someday and have a proper talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What am I doing here?\" Aimar grumbled, rubbing his temples in frustration. \"Why am I tagging along again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't have anything better to do anyway,\" I replied, slapping his chest hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He winced, glaring at me while I moved away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A lady stood on the side, hands folded on her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zenith didn't come?\" I asked, walking closer to Yennefer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She was... busy,\" Yenna replied, raising her hand to ruffle my hair. \"Take care of yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled at her touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You too,\" I murmured, letting her hand linger on my hair just a second longer before stepping back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as I moved, a cluster of white moved out of my body before floating toward Yenna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mama!\" Wills exclaimed while Yennefer quickly grabbed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She smiled. \"Wills wants to say goodbye as well, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy nodded, smiling ear to ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I quickly grabbed him from the back of his neck before separating him from Yenna.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you fly?\" I asked, looking into his lavender eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, yes,\" he replied, blinking innocently. \"Wait, Papa, are you jealous because Yenna love—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words turned into a scream as I spun and threw him in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He'll be alright,\" I said before Yenna could complain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shall we?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wilhelm's voice echoed as he turned to look at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He's the one who is going to keep us safe if necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure?\" I asked, looking at him. \"Izara would miss her dad—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My daughter can take care of herself,\" he said, looking at me. \"And there's a nanny to look after her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I see.\" I said, nodding my head. \"Then, after you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded, walking inside the teleportation portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elijah and Aimar followed behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked back at Yenna once, who waved at me with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diana nodded toward me as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled back before walking inside the portal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't the ground I landed on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was falling from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2010,"2026-06-05T21:29:08.031Z",1,"novelbin.me","3708a4b2c802eb129b7510216058a25091123bec104ecdb1b55b5f96d8b74965","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-393","reincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-chapter-391",556,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freincarnated-as-the-villainess-s-son-cover.jpg"]
