Late
Every time I step into the Golden Hall, Daphne am filled with a different kind of awe.
There was no way around it. Although she was already the Supreme, the Golden Hall was an extension of the magnificent power of Paradise Mountain, and Golden Hall was the most noble place on Paradise Mountain, the location of the Platinum Heavenly Throne.
Every time she comes here, she is still deeply moved, marveling at the greatness of the Lord and the wisdom of those who have followed the same path.
As the master of the Wind Throne, and also a being walking the path of the Sky Lord, Daphne knows all too well the significance of the Platinum Heavenly Throne to the Lord of Heaven.
That is a testament to a lifetime of spiritual practice, an extension of Supreme Authority.
Just as she regained her footing, before she could even rejoin her own group...
A stern rebuke came from deep within the Golden Hall.
"Daphne, why are you late?"
Daphne's heart skipped a beat. She looked up and saw a tall, aloof, silver-haired female Angel with a hint of anger in her eyes.
She stood at the very front of the Angel Supreme procession, her status revered and her demeanor composed.
"Oh my god, it's Lady Sophia!"
Daphne's heart skipped a beat.
"It's all over, it's all over."
It's important to know that the Chief Judgment Angel Sophia, the Judge, is one of the oldest Blazing Angel who followed Lord of Heaven Yuliel.
She had been by Jiang Yuu's side since the time of the Winged People's Kingdom, and had always been diligent and conscientious.
During Jiang Yuu's Throne, she served as the Deputy Sovereign of the Winged People's Kingdom, waging war on the Feland Continent. After Jiang Yuu Jiang Yuu a god, she ascended to Paradise Mountain and became the holder of Authority Paradise Mountain.
As Paradise Mountain grew ever stronger, over the long years it witnessed Lord of Heaven Yuliel becoming the Supreme Lord step by step, witnessed Annatania taking up residence on Paradise Mountain, witnessed the submission of the gods, and the bowing down of the Multiverse.
During Jiang Yuu's lifetime, she was the one who handled the actual affairs of Paradise Mountain. In the years when Jiang Yuu was absent, she assisted Annatania in managing Paradise Mountain. Even in the years when Annatania was absent, she was the one who held the Authority of Paradise Mountain.
The majesty accumulated over the years instilled awe in all the Angel of Paradise Mountain.
On the Paradise Mountain, that Angel felt no fear or respect for the Chief Angel of ancient times.
Even the usually arrogant Lucifer didn't dare to act recklessly in front of her.
Even if Lucifer is scolded, she has to obey.
From the time Daphne could remember, she had never seen Jiang Yuu or Annatania scold Lucifer; on the contrary, she had seen Sophia scold her.
Jiang Yuu felt reluctant to part with Lucifer because she was his beloved adopted daughter, Annatania felt it was unnecessary, but Sophia couldn't tolerate any imperfections.
In the ancient era of the Winged People's Kingdom, she was Lucifer's teacher, and naturally possessed the aura of a mentor.
Faced with Sophia's rebuke, Daphne lowered her head and honestly admitted her mistake.
"I'm sorry, Lady Sophia, I'm late."
"You shouldn't apologize to me; you should apologize to our Lord."
"We usually don't bother with that, but what day is it today?"
Even Lucifer arrived on time Tiandu, but you, who are always so disciplined, are late.
Lucifer:...
"Is this something I need to do?"
"I know I was wrong."
Seeing that Sophia's anger had not subsided, Daphne's heart skipped a beat again, and she knelt on one knee in the hall.
Just then...
Inside the Golden Hall.
A calm and peaceful voice came through.
"Alright, sister, Daphne has already realized her mistake, and she's always been punctual. This time, there must be a different reason. My lord, matters of great importance are at stake; let's not delay the time of the Supreme and the armies."
The voice sounded colder than the deepest, coldest regions of the Multiverse, like a divine voice drifting from the depths of death, yet it warmed Daphne's heart.
"Great! It's Dean Aeryta!"
I'm okay!
