Chapter 145: Holy Daughter of Goddess Shiva
Chapter 145: Holy Daughter of Goddess Shiva
The walk from the VIP dorms to the central plaza was an absolute display of high ranking presence.
Lynx, Ophelia, Lira, and Ava moved together down the wide marble corridors of the sector, their footsteps echoing cleanly off the walls.
The three girls looked astonishing in their fitted deep blue student uniforms, the deep blue, high grade fabric hugging their slender waists, accentuating their busts, and emphasizing their athletic curves.
When they reached the edge of the courtyard, Kira was already standing near a grand marble pillar, tapping her boot impatiently against the polished floor.
The moment Kira’s eyes landed on Lynx, her breath hitched, and a dark crimson flush instantly bloomed across her cheeks. Lynx’s charm attribute was currently locked at the Eternal rank.
Even in his simple 6 foot 2 human form, without his Demon King horns or glowing golden eyes, his physical perfection was so absurdly high that it was practically painful to look at him directly.
His sharp heterochromatic eyes held a magnetic, deep intensity, his jawline looked as though it had been sculpted by divine artisans, and his broad shoulders radiated pure, effortless dominance.
"You guys took forever," Kira muttered, quickly dropping her eyes to the ground to hide her burning face.
"Blame Lynx," Lira giggled playfully, sliding her hand smoothly into Lynx’s arm and leaning her head against his broad shoulder.
"He kept us in the room pointing out every single detail of how good we look in these new uniforms."
"Can you really blame me?" Lynx smirked, his deep, hypnotic voice causing Kira’s heart to skip a violent beat. He leaned down slightly, whispering right next to Kira’s ear, "You look incredible today, Kira."
Kira’s ears burned red, her voice squeaking slightly as she turned away. "L-Let’s just go! Everyone else is already waiting at the main gates."
Since Lynx had no idea where the central church was actually located within the massive capital, they headed straight toward the main academy entrance, where the remaining members of the top fifty chosen students were gathering.
Parked right outside the iron gates, idling quietly over the stone pavement, was a massive, high end academy automobile.
It was a long, beautifully streamlined silver transport bus, equipped with reinforced tinted glass, platinum rims, and glowing blue mana channels running along its exterior frame.
As Lynx walked toward the vehicle with his five girls trailing closely behind him, the surrounding atmosphere completely shifted.
Dozens of lower year students and academy staff members stopped dead in their tracks, their jaws literally dropping as Lynx walked past.
"Is that Lynx...?" a female student whispered, clutching her books tightly to her chest.
"Merciful gods... how is it possible for a man to look that handsome?!"
"He doesn’t even look real," a male student murmured, his eyes wide with a mix of envy and genuine awe.
"Look at his aura... it’s like he’s standing above everyone else without even trying."
"And look at the women around him... every single one of them is a top tier beauty of our grade, and they’re all looking at him like he’s their entire world!"
Lynx ignored the endless chatter, casually stepping up the stairs into the air conditioned interior of the luxury bus.
The seating area was wide, featuring plush leather chairs and pure mana filtering crystals that kept the temperature perfectly cool.
As Lynx walked down the center aisle to claim a group of seats near the back with Ophelia, Lira, Ava, and Kira, his eyes caught Eleanor Haleborn sitting near a window seat.
Eleanor raised her head, her sharp, proud eyes locking onto Lynx. For a long, silent second, their gazes met in the air.
A subtle, dangerous smirk played on Lynx’s lips, while Eleanor offered a calm, quiet nod of respect before returning her gaze to the passing scenery outside.
The bus ride was lively and filled with light, comfortable chatter. Lynx spent the entire trip teasing his women, leaning in close to whisper shameless, wicked things into their ears that turned their faces completely red.
Ava tried her absolute best to maintain her usual stern, stoic military posture, but whenever Lynx’s hand casually rested on her inner thigh beneath her skirt, her breath hitched sharply, making Lira and Ophelia giggle softly behind their hands.
After twenty minutes of smooth travel through the bustling streets of the capital, the long silver transport bus finally slowed down, pulling up to a grand, ancient stone plaza.
"Alright, settle down, everyone," Professor Henry’s voice boomed from the front of the bus as he stood up alongside Professor Rose.
"Maintain total discipline and respect. You are representing the absolute elite of the Aether Blessed Academy today. Don’t say anything disrespectful and don’t do anything rash. Or else you will face severe consequences."
The fifty chosen students filed out of the bus, stepping out onto the cool marble tiles of the plaza. Immediately, Lynx raised his head to take in the colossal structure towering over the city.
The central church was staggering in size.
Constructed entirely out of blinding white marble, solid gold trim, and glowing blue mana crystals, it resembled a heavenly fortress dropped right into the heart of the empire.
Positioned directly in front of the main arched entrance stood a massive, eighty foot golden statue of Goddess Shiva, holding a divine staff and looking down at the capital with an expression of absolute grace and ancient authority.
A massive crowd of hundreds of normal citizens had gathered around the church gates, cheering frantically as the students stepped down from the vehicle.
"Good luck, Aether Blessed Academy!"
"Bring honor back to our empire this year!"
"Crush the Void Empire!"
Even though the Void Blessed Academy from the rival Void Empire had remained completely undefeated in the Supreme Blessed Tournament for ten consecutive years, the citizens of the Aether Empire still held immense hope in their hearts.
Looking at this year’s top fifty representatives, especially with the presence of absolute monsters like Lynx and Eleanor, their eyes burned with intense pride and expectation.
Professor Rose and Professor Henry stepped forward, leading the group up the grand marble staircase.
At the top of the stairs, several older women dressed in formal white and blue habits... the senior nuns of the church... bowed deeply in greeting.
"Welcome, esteemed Professors. Welcome, young champions," the head nun said softly, her voice carrying a deep, soothing warmth.
"Please follow us inside. Everything has been fully prepared for the sacred blessing ceremony."
They stepped inside the main hall, and even Lynx was mildly impressed by the sheer scale of the interior.
The vaulted ceiling stretched high into the sky, adorned with magnificent stained glass windows depicting ancient mythological battles between gods and primordial beasts.
The air inside was thick, fragrant, and heavy with the soothing scent of burning holy incense and dense, passive divine mana.
The citizens praying inside the main sanctuary turned their heads, watching the student squad walk past with deep, hope filled gazes.
The nuns guided the group down a wide, quiet side corridor, leading them into a massive, private praying chamber.
High stone arches lined the walls, and a raised wooden podium sat at the front of the room, positioned directly beneath a glowing, floating crest of Goddess Shiva.
"Please wait here quietly," the head nun instructed before bowing politely and stepping back out, pulling the heavy, reinforced oak doors shut.
The fifty students stood around the spacious room, talking in low murmurs. Some were stretching their limbs, others were mentally preparing themselves for the brutal tournament ahead.
While several male students kept throwing envious, frustrated glances at Lynx, wondering how a single guy could possibly monopolize the absolute finest women in the entire academy.
A minute later, the heavy doors clicked open once more.
The entire chamber went dead silent instantly.
A young looking girl stepped into the praying chamber.
She wore a pristine, flowing white habit embroidered with complex silver and gold symbols that draped effortlessly over her delicate, slender frame.
Her long, silky golden hair cascaded out from under her headpiece like liquid sunlight, framing a face of absolute, Transcendent ranked beauty. The habit doing nothing to hide the big gorgeous curves of her breasts and her juicy ass.
Her deep, sparkling blue eyes held an ancient, peaceful authority that instantly subdued the entire energy of the room.
This was Seraphina Colette. The Holy Daughter of Goddess Shiva, second in command of the entire church network across the Aether Empire.
Despite having the physical appearance of a soft, breathtaking eighteen year old girl, her passive aura felt vast, boundless, and overwhelming, like staring into the deep abyss of a calm, infinite ocean.
Seraphina offered a gentle, serene smile as she walked toward the front of the room.
"Welcome, brave champions of the Aether Empire. I am Seraphina. Today, I stand before you as the divine vessel to convey Goddess Shiva’s grace upon your souls before you march off to war."
As she spoke, a few arrogant male students standing near the middle rows leaned toward each other, whispering in extremely hushed tones.
"Bro... she looks so young, but holy shit, she is ridiculously beautiful..."
"I know, right? That face is completely divine. Imagine if a girl like that..."
Though they whispered in the faintest possible breathes, Seraphina’s senses were far beyond normal human comprehension.
She heard every single word with crystal clarity. However, her tranquil expression didn’t shift in the slightest. Her gentle, serene smile remained completely intact as she stepped up the wooden stairs of the podium.
Her deep blue eyes slowly swept across the fifty students kneeling before her. But as her gaze passed through the crowd, it suddenly stopped dead on Lynx.
Lynx stood near the back row, looking right back up at her with unshakeable, calm confidence.
His heavenly, godlike looks, tall physique, and absolute lack of nervousness or reverence instantly caught her attention.
’This boy...’ Seraphina thought, a subtle, barely perceptible flicker of genuine curiosity passing through her deep blue eyes.
’His aura is so quiet, yet his presence feels so insanely deep... almost endless. He isn’t a normal human blessed at all. I’m sure this is not even his real Aura, just his passive aura.’
She didn’t dwell on the thought for long. Seraphina clasped her small, delicate hands together in front of her chest and slowly closed her eyes.
"Kneel, young champions, and open your palms to the heavens. Receive the sacred light of Shiva."
All fifty students, including Eleanor, Rose, Ava, Lira, Ophelia, and Kira, immediately knelt down on the cold, polished stone floor, extending their palms toward the high ceiling.
Lynx smoothly dropped to one knee as well, opening his palms cleanly.
Seraphina began to pray. Her soft, rich voice resonated through the large stone chamber like a divine melody, vibrating with immense holy power.
As her prayer echoed through the room, the golden aura on every student’s body ignited brightly.
Dense, glowing holy mana descended from the ceiling like gentle golden rain, sinking directly into their skin, muscle, and mana pathways.
A feeling of absolute peace, mental clarity, and overwhelming vitality washed over everyone.
Their physical stamina recovered instantly, their fatigue evaporated, and their core mana channels expanded significantly.
To ensure he didn’t disrupt the ritual or draw unwanted attention from the church’s ancient defensive arrays, Lynx mentally instructed his System to blend his passive aura seamlessly with the incoming holy energy.
Lynx was genuinely impressed. "So this is how a top tier church vessel operates. The divine response from her goddess is surprisingly pure and dense. Not bad at all, worldy of the second strongest church in the human empire."
Curious about the young looking girl praying above them, Lynx silently activated his divine vision and summoned her complete stat block.
A glowing translucent window materialized right before his eyes.

Lynx’s eyes widened slightly in genuine surprise beneath his calm, composed expression.
’A Transcendent Blessed... her lowest stat is literally 3mil, and her actual age is 150 years old?’ Lynx analyzed, taking in her massive attribute numbers and her ridiculously strong blessings.
’I think she recently entered Transcendent Rank. She really is a monster walking around in the form of a teenage girl. I MUST make her mine.’
[You Absolute Must. Her blessings are befitting for the holy daughter of Shiva] Lynx system spoke in his head.
And he nodded.
Just as Lynx finished reviewing her incredible stats, the golden light filling the chamber slowly began to recede.
Seraphina lowered her delicate hands and slowly opened her sparkling blue eyes. The prayer ritual was complete.
The fifty students slowly began standing up, gasping in shock as they felt their bodies brimming with newfound energy, refined mana, and incredible physical lightness.
As Lynx stood up to his full 6 foot 2 height, rolling his broad shoulders smoothly, he raised his head toward the podium.
Up on the wooden platform, Seraphina was standing completely still. Her bright blue eyes were looking straight down through the crowd, locking dead onto his heterochromatic gaze.
A/N: Sorry for the late chap. I got into a huge fight with a bulky gym rat, and it was his damn fault, he was wrong, and he didn’t apologize for shit. Long story short, i got beaten up, I injured him though, but he whopped my ass, my left cheek, the left part of my mouth and eyes is swollen pretty bad. I can’t move the left part of my face now. My eyes are killing me.
I’ll be writing 1 or maybe 2 Chapters per day for now. Sorry.
I’m soo pisseddd. But he was so stupid, and he was way older too.
My advice? Don’t fight a stupid bulky gym rat, big muscles matters a lot.
