Background / History
Lantan is a Four-Winged Angel: a biological weapon born from the Angel Reincarnation Pool. Angels possess the strength granted at their birth and cannot further cultivate or improve it. Although they have independent thoughts and emotions, their absolute loyalty to the Main God cannot be violated. The Radiant Church treats them primarily as highly useful tools rather than as people. 23
Her identity as a princess is genuine, but it serves alongside her duties to the Radiant Church. As the only Four-Winged Angel in her squad, she holds authority over her angel subordinates. 22 23
Appearance
Lantan is described as a young-looking, beautiful woman with expressive eyes and a warm, radiant smile. In battle, she is enveloped in brilliant Radiant Battle Qi. 18 21
- Beautiful eyes that often carry amusement, admiration, or apparent shyness. 18 22
- Projects the image of an innocent and affectionate princess before revealing her true capability. 20
- Her combat aura manifests as exceptionally pure Radiant Battle Qi. 21 23
Personality
Lantan is a capable actress who initially convinces Lei Lin that she is merely a frightened sixth-level warrior. During the Dark Church ambush, she performs the role of a princess unwilling to abandon him, only to reveal that she had concealed far greater power. 18 20
She is sincerely devoted to the Lord of Light and views recruiting or supporting exceptional talents as part of that devotion. After witnessing Lei Lin's willingness to protect her and his ability to challenge ninth-rank opponents, she becomes personally interested in him and proposes becoming his future concubine. 22 23
Despite her angelic constraints, Lantan is not emotionless. She develops affection for Lei Lin, regrets failing to secure their relationship sooner, and gives him rare dragon blood to support his research. 24
Abilities & Skills
Ninth-Rank Combat Ability
In her normal state, Lantan is a ninth-rank expert whose combat strength greatly exceeds ordinary practitioners of the same rank.
- Concealed her actual strength by claiming to be only a sixth-level warrior. 18 20
- Fought three ninth-rank Dark Church experts and suppressed them despite being outnumbered. 21
- Used sword light to pressure the Dark Church leader and prevent another assassin from targeting Lei Lin. 20 21
- Captured a surviving Dark Church operative alive after the battle. 22
Saint Realm Outburst
As a Four-Winged Angel, Lantan can release power at the Saint Realm level.
- Her normal strength is ninth-rank, but she can erupt with Saint Realm combat power when she unleashes her full strength. 23
- Lei Lin considers her and her squad his available Saint Realm-level force during dangerous expeditions. 39
Radiant Battle Qi
Lantan cultivates extraordinarily pure and powerful Radiant Battle Qi.
- Can soothe agitated blood and qi, repair strained muscles, and heal injuries by channeling her Battle Qi into another person's body. 23
- Her Battle Qi rejects non-Light powers; low-level and equal-level buffing magic is generally ineffective on angels, while stronger buffs are weakened. 23
- The purity of her Light-element power provides Lei Lin with a key insight into his bloodline research. 23
Angel Nature
Lantan's origin grants her immense power but also imposes fundamental limitations.
- Her strength was fixed upon reincarnation and cannot be cultivated further. 23
- She is absolutely loyal to the Main God and would accept death if required by her mission. 23 40
- The Radiant Church regards her as a disposable tool, limiting her freedom to pursue a personal relationship with Lei Lin. 25
Relationships
- Lei Lin — Initially assigned to protect him and later becomes deeply interested in his talent, faith, and willingness to defend her. She offers to become his future concubine and gives him Saint Realm mutated Two-Headed Silver Dragon blood for his research. 22 24
- Falling Leaf — A senior Radiant Church figure whom Lantan introduces to Lei Lin as a potential master. Falling Leaf dismisses her so that he can speak to Lei Lin privately and warns Lei Lin not to become emotionally attached to her. 25
- Radiant Church — Her controlling organization. It deploys her to protect Lei Lin and uses her status as an angel to serve Church interests. 22 23 25
- Lantan's angel squad — Her subordinate team; they defer to her as their captain and sole Four-Winged Angel. 23
- Dark Church assassins — Enemies encountered during the ambush against Lei Lin. Lantan fights and suppresses their ninth-rank operatives. 20 21 22
Story Role / Major Arcs
Dark Church Ambush
Lantan meets Lei Lin at King Clyde's social gathering and asks to accompany him to inspect Saint Realm Tyrannosaurus Rex blood. She presents herself as a sixth-level warrior, then accompanies him into a Dark Church trap. 18
When the assassins demand that Lei Lin kill her to prove his allegiance, he instead attacks them to create an escape opportunity. Lantan refuses to flee, reveals that her weakness was an act, and joins the battle as a ninth-rank powerhouse. 20
Radiant Church Counterattack
Lantan and Lei Lin cooperate against three ninth-rank Dark Church operatives. While she engages them directly, Lei Lin uses lightning magic and electromagnetic attacks to disrupt their movements. 21
After Radiant Church reinforcements arrive, Lantan captures one enemy alive. Lei Lin realizes that the Church had used him as bait to disrupt the Dark Church's operation, while Lantan confirms that her original assignment was to protect him. 22
Angel Revelation and Recruitment Attempt
Lantan reveals her Four-Winged Angel identity and explains the nature of angelic loyalty and fixed strength. She heals Lei Lin with Radiant Battle Qi, allowing him to study its unusual purity. 23
Following the battle, she attempts to draw Lei Lin closer to the Radiant Church by arranging his meeting with Falling Leaf and presenting him with rare Saint Realm mutated Two-Headed Silver Dragon blood. 24 25
Continued Shadow Protection
After Lei Lin rejects close protection for the sake of privacy, Lantan and her squad continue guarding him from the shadows. Lei Lin later relies on their potential Saint Realm combat power while secretly protecting Lin Lei in the Magic Beast Mountain Range. 34 39 40
