No coincidence
Aeryta, Sophia's sister, is also Great Angel who followed Lord of Heaven since the ancient Winged People's Kingdom era. Chief Guardian Angel of Paradise Mountain, the Supreme who wields the Authority of Death, and the Sovereign of all Underworld.
Although her reputation is not as widespread as Sophia's, Sophia is more feared by outsiders because her strength is unfathomable.
However, for Daphne, Aeryta also had another identity: the former headmistress of the Holiness Academy, who was also Daphne's most respected headmistress and elder.
Without a doubt, Daphne was definitely one of Principal Aeryta's own people.
"What, Aeryta, are you going to protect your disciple?"
Upon hearing Aeryta speak, Sophia's tone softened considerably, but she still spoke.
"No, sister. Why don't we ask Daphne why she's late?"
"Yes, yes, Lady Sophia, Daphne is always punctual. Why don't we ask her why she's late?"
A little behind them, Gael quickly spoke up to her little niece.
After she finished speaking, Anwyn also said in a serious tone.
"Lady Sophia, my daughter is always punctual and abides by the rules of the Heavenly Kingdom. Why don't you ask her why?"
Anwyn's words made Daphne purse her lips.
This old father is as good as nonexistent.
Seeing the Angel pleading for her, Sophia nodded slightly. She wasn't deliberately targeting Daphne; she was a leading figure of the third generation of Lord of Heaven and Annatania's favorite granddaughter.
However, today's matter is far too significant.
All the Supreme Grade powerhouses were present, except for Daphne, who was absent. If she was not dealt with, it would surely displease the Supreme powerhouses.
The Angel Race places the utmost importance on Order.
Paradise Mountain, with its strict and profound laws.
Even those in the blood of Lord of Heaven sin just like mortals.
So she spoke.
"Tell me, Daphne, why are you late?"
On the magnificent floor of the Golden Hall, seeing Sophia agree, Daphne breathed a sigh of relief.
She slightly raised her head and looked up.
On the thousand-tiered steps, the majestic and radiant Lord of Heaven sat enthroned on his Platinum Heavenly Throne, his endless, gentle light shining in all directions, watching her with a half-smile.
Beside Lord of Heaven, Annatania smiled and looked at him with affection.
Clearly, her "little actions" on the Heavenly Kingdom Steps had already been seen by the two Master of Paradise Mountain.
However, with Annatania around, Daphne was even less worried.
After a moment's thought, she answered honestly.
"My lord, Your Majesty, Lady Sophia, today I was originally going to the Tower of Time to evacuate the last batch of guardian Angel."
The Tower of Time will not Transcendence along with the Angel Civilization and Paradise Mountain; this was predetermined by Lord of Heaven Yuliel long ago.
"However, the little Angel on duty at the Clock of Time accidentally made a mistake today, causing the Clock of Time to move forward by one hundred million years."
"We accidentally traveled to a hundred million years in the future."
"One hundred million years from now?!"
The assembled Supreme became curious upon hearing this.
The Tower of Time can travel one hundred million years downstream in the River of Time, which means that the next one hundred million years have already been determined.
This is truly incredible.
Seemingly sensing the confusion of the Supreme, Daphne explained.
"Our Lord has returned and now exists in this world. As long as His majesty continues to over the Multiverse, whatever the future may hold, it is all set!"
"Of course, if our Lord leads us to Transcendence, the future will become uncertain again. However, the possibility of us going to a hundred million years in the future is the most likely one."
She stopped there and didn't go into further detail.
Including her encounter with that Supreme being of life, because she vaguely realized that this meeting might not have been a coincidence...
"We were delayed because we wanted to bring the Tower of Time back to the current point in time."
"That's why I'm late, Lady Sophia."
After speaking in one breath, Daphne lowered her head and awaited Sophia's verdict.
