[This is a letter from Eden]
To my dear Archangel (Eden's affectionate term for the [Great Angel] rank):
The Inquisition operative [Lemuel Gaumont], dispatched to the Amsterdam region for military intervention, is currently imprisoned in the Bright Layer interface stratum.

I hope you can speed up your intelligence-gathering assignment.
After reading the urging message from Eden, his all-powerful client and boss, Xia Xiu closed the letter with a strange expression. Although his boss did nothing but urge him to work overtime, without the slightest intention of asking whether his corporate drone was dead or alive, that was not what caught his attention.

Well, damn. The invincible [Samson] had fallen again.
Lemuel Gaumont really had rotten luck. It looked like he and the [Balmung Holy Sword] were incompatible from birth!
Even without Mr. Night, he couldn't hold on to his [Heavenly Armament] for long. Just look-the Flame Beast Interface had stepped in and made the [Heavenly Armament] in his hands disappear. That was fate.
In the supernatural world, Xia Xiu believed in things like destiny and fate. He had once seen a [Dominion] whose [Dominion Avatar] ability involved fate. That individual's ability achieved [Double Critical Damage] and [Lethal Strike] by manipulating fate.
And Lemuel Gaumont's supremely unlucky experience unconsciously reminded Xia Xiu of the supreme being who initiated the "Reprise Performance"-the
