Chapter 304: Preparing for war (2)
"I have organized the scrolls, Techniques, and resources required to push you to the Enlightened Stage as rapidly as possible. I doubt understanding and mastery will be an obstacle in your path, Heaven."
It wasn’t blind faith on her part to say such a thing. Heaven regulated and maintained the Laws governing the world. In this day and age, with the gods absent, she might be the greatest authority in the field of Laws.
"I will start training as soon as we are done here," Althea nodded, appreciating her effort to gather everything on such short notice. There were things she gathered across the world.
"The only thing missing are those found only in Wrixia. I have sent word to the Serpents. A boat of theirs will depart Pontiffe in two days," the High Altar said.
"Wrixia," Althea whispered in silence. She glanced at the table and spoke loud and clear. "I wish to join them."
She saw the High Altar about to protest but she raised her hand to stop her.
"I know the risks. But the Oldest One helped me when I awoke. Without His guidance, Heaven might have collapsed. Plus, it would be nice to chat to an old friend after such a time."
The High Altar’s face revealed her displeasure but she didn’t protest. She was there to serve and to advise. She wouldn’t oppose decisions already made.
Althea rather stopped the meeting than gaze at Silvera but that would be admitting defeat in a sense. So, she clenched her fists below the table and looked at her. Silvera straightened her posture and reported the preparations of the Templars. In a sense, the five-hundred-old woman was the youngest at the table. After all, Althea’s human form was young but Heaven existed since a few Ages ago.
