Sending a mid Overlord rank against a pseudo-god is reckless. Borderline sabotage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caldus nodded once. “And unnecessary.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, and lose the church’s most valuable ‘miracle child’?” I added. “That would make you all look very smart in front of the public.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Himmel,” Helena said, turning towards me. “Aren’t you strong enough to beat it? Then why are you refusing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nice, perfect timing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stopped for a while as if thinking deeply about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then after a while, I looked at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t see my profit in this,” I replied, shaking my head. “All I see is the church extorting the poor me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Avatars are the ones who lead us,” Zekiel said coldly. “You were born to serve the church.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I leaned forward, smiling at him. “Send Ethan then. Isn’t he an Avatar as well?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zekiel suddenly stood up from his chair. “I have heard enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zekiel—.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He refused the church,” he cut in Seraphina’s words. “For being a fallen and for heresy he did, the church isn’t going to acknowledge him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seraphina’s brows furrowed. “Zekiel, sit down.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the head of the Michael family didn’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He insulted the mission. He insulted the church. He insulted me.” Zekiel’s voice dropped into a dangerous low. “If you expect me to allow—.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you throwing a tantrum?” I asked, genuinely confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena leaned back, amused as ever. “So, just to clarify… you called the miracle child, tried to use him, and now you want to exile him because he said no?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zekiel glared at her. “You’re defending a fallen.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s Elyon’s Avatar,” she replied back as usual. “Which, unless the rules have changed overnight, means he outranks you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just glared at her. “The meeting ends here, and that thing will never set foot in the church again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright then,” I said, folding my hands. “Let’s assume the church did exile me—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There is nothing to assume—.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But what if I become Avatar of Elohim?” I asked, making him silent. “What if I become Avatar of all three gods?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The room fell so silent I could hear Elijah’s breath hitch beside me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Caldus and Seraphina had serious expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zekiel’s face, however, twisted into a scowl. “You’re bluffing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that’s what you’re thinking, then think again,” I said, staring dead into his eyes. “I am a miracle child, after all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zekiel’s knuckles whitened against the edge of the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way he looked at me was nothing but uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the look one gives to their nemesis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me be clear,” I said. “I’m not saying I’ll accept the mission. I’m saying if I do, it won’t be out of loyalty. It’ll be business.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Zekiel took his seat once again, throwing away his pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His jaw remained clenched as he whispered. “What do you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, for starters, everything that an Avatar deserves,” I said, looking at him. “Land, fame and money, everything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zekiel’s eyes twitched, but he remained quiet. “…Fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I leaned back, relaxed, as if I hadn’t just pushed one of the most powerful men in the church into a corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And I want to visit the weapon storage of the old ones, those used by the origin race,” I said, tapping my fingers on the armrest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zekiel frowned. “It’s not something that you can use—.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s for me to decide,” I cut in his words. “Just say, would you allow it or not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glared at me but didn’t refuse. “You can’t take more than one weapon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Two.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“….Fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘I just want to hold them. They look cool.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And who doesn’t want to own a giant ass sword that can cut through heavens?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Shut up.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What else?” he asked, rubbing his eyes in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And finally, I want….” I let him wait for a while before saying, “Snow Dellet flower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zekiel’s brow twitched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A what?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Snow Dellet flower,” I repeated, folding my arms. “The one that is blooming at the mountain peak.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No!!” he barked, glaring at me. “That’s for the Avatar Ethan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shrugged. “Then ask him to take care of the Dead God.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do you want that damn flower?” His voice cracked between disbelief and restrained rage. “Out of all things—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You already agreed to give me land, artifacts, gold, a trip to the vault of the ancients,” I said calmly. “Are you really going to break the deal over a flower?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not just a flower!” Zekiel growled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It is to me,” I replied. “I like beautiful things.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s not just a flower, Himmel,” Seraphina chimed in. “They are used to refine bloodline and make them reach the same potential as their patron god.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I let my eyes widen as if I heard it for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wow. I didn’t know about this,” I replied, looking at Zekiel. “Now I definitely want it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zekiel opened his mouth, then shut it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caldus sighed, muttering something under his breath. Seraphina gave the smallest of nods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Fine,” he bit out. “We’ll give you the flower. If you come back alive, it’s yours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you.” I grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena clapped once, rising from her seat. “Looks like we’re all in agreement then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zekiel looked like he wanted to kill something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preferably me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caldus stood. “I will prepare the writs. The Church will honor its word.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And so will I,” I said, getting to my feet. “Once I have what I asked, I’ll do what you asked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zekiel stormed out of the room and Caldus followed just behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed as I looked at Lady Seraphina who was staring at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you guys leave us alone for a while?” I asked, looking at Helena and Elijah who stood up. “I want to talk with her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…Sure,” Elijah replied, nodding gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena didn’t say a word as she walked out as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Malenia Drakex,” Seraphina said as soon as we were alone. “The youngest Archon and Nylaria’s holder will be there to help you out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t reply; instead, I looked into her golden eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tilted her head in confusion. “What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When are you going to tell Elijah the truth?” I asked, making her stiffen. “I believe he deserves to know the truth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…..”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She let out a sigh, standing up from her seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, she began to walk out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you don’t tell him, I will, and if I do, I will tell him the whole truth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As my voice echoed in the room, she stopped once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Even if it makes him despise the Uriel family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lady Seraphina slowly turned towards me with a tired look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her lips parted as she requested. “Would you like to join me for a walk?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your gift is the motivation for my creation.
