Chapter 361: Comprehending ‘Life’
On the road leading to an inn within the Heavenly City, a young man and a woman sat inside an unmarked carriage. The woman was as beautiful as an angel, while the young man was handsome and full of charisma.
Aldrian had decided to bring Angelica outside to meet Sylphia and the rest of his group. It was much better than being constantly confined within the main church.
The pope did not find it troublesome and happily granted him permission to take Angelica out of the church. Due to her status and condition, she rarely left, which was understandable. This was a good opportunity for her to spend some time outside the church.
Aldrian let out a small sigh as he glanced at Angelica again. Her life was pitiful, and she had little opportunity to experience the real world beyond her role as the church’s Saintess. His gaze shifted to her blind eyes, then to her legs beneath her elegant white dress.
"Can I fix something that has been there and unchanged since her birth?" he thought.
This question had surfaced in his mind not long ago. When he injected golden energy into her body for the first time, he also examined her condition—and what he discovered made him sigh inwardly. Her eyes and legs, from the thighs down, appeared underdeveloped, with essential parts of the organs, such as nerves, meridians and certain muscles, never having formed.
Because of this, her eyes and legs were little more than "decorations," which made him feel deep pity for her. He wanted her to be able to see like others and walk like others. That was what his heart desired, but he couldn’t give her false hope. Her case was vastly different from simply healing an illness or lifting a curse. In her situation, he would need to create something that had never existed in the first place.
However, he did not despair or give up, especially after meeting the "figure." That encounter had left him feeling even more motivated. His abilities were still waiting to be fully uncovered, and one of them might be the power of "creation"—the ability to bring something into existence from nothing.
Thinking this way, he felt an unexpected shudder deep inside his heart, mixed with excitement. This was the power of a literal god. If he could achieve it, wouldn’t that mean he was one step closer to divinity? The mere prospect of performing such a miracle made him eager to start studying how to do it.
"The golden energy is an all-purpose energy that obeys my will. It can possess killing properties or healing properties, but creating something from this energy requires far greater comprehension. How does one create something from nothing?" he wondered.
"It’s not just about creating something simply because I will it, right?" he then said to Angelica.
