Chapter 1208 Absorbing The Heaven Cloud
-----
Apparently, she didnt knew more than that, unfortunately. Still, I was glad that theory was somewhat confirmed. She said she knew about the "Luminous Kingdom" and the "Expanded World" from overhearing angels and cherubins in Heaven.
It seems that Heavenly Spirits just live everywhere, either serving these races or making up their entire world. She said she served angels in a huge castle where they armed and practiced fighting demons. Apparently angels are constantly training and dedicating themselves on protecting the mortal world from demons and anything related to them.
"Maybe it might not seem like this because there has been demons and monsters everywhere now… But that's only because of the First Contact," she said proudly. "Imagine if the angels weren't here, it would have been so much worse! They're your eternal guardians, so always pray to them and wish them good luck!
Prayers contain Faith, an energy that Angels can absorb to become stronger, so never forget praying four times a day before every meal and before going to sleep!"
"A-Ah, yeah…"
Honestly, I don't know if I'll even remember doing that.
"Anyways, from what I heard… they said something about demons appearing in this Luminous Kingdom," she said. "And they said they were unable to deploy the Valkyries, the specialized team of angels of that Extended World because they've been dealing with keeping the Armies of… Death? From breaking out of the… Underworld? Or something like that."
Wait…
So the reason why the Demon King of Death's awakening has been delayed so much is thanks to the Valkyries constantly fighting them off in the Underworld itself?!
Damn, the situation might be more dire than it was already!
We need to hurry… Raiding the Underworld comes right after dealing with Merlinus, and for that I need to gather Players, a lot.
The fight against Merlinus is close, maybe today, or tomorrow, at any moment now.
So for that, I need to prepare.
"Anything else you know?" I wondered.
"Ah, no…" she sighed. "But that feather is from Gabriel, so please… give it back to him. I don't know if it'll help him go back to heaven but… it will help him regain his strength, even if a bit."
Her body was already turning into particles of light, disappearing.
"Okay then, thank you for everything!"
"No problem… You seem much more connected to the fate of our world than I imagined. I wish you good luck."
Although I had thought she was sassy before, I take that back, she was a good person.

As she disappeared, going back to the Plane of Heaven, I sighed in relief, noticing everyone had already Ranked Up their Magic Circles. Also Mark's physique seemed ready to evolve, but he needed some materials, I think.
My daughter also had automatically developed a physique without needing materials, most likely due to her connection to her avatar being so strong, I could already guess what her physique ended becoming, as her skin turned blue, and she gained tiny black horns.
"Woah, Elena! You became a bit like your avatar! Though your skin color is much paler than the strong blue of your avatar and your horns are much tinier," giggled Anna.
"Yeah, it's surprising! I have yet to get a physique myself… Do I need to exercise even more? How bothersome!" Elisa complained.
"Hmm… I guess we have to work hard," Monica nodded.
"So you'll give the feather to Gabriel?" wondered Mark.
"Yep, did you want it?" I wondered.
"Of course not, I was shocked when you thought about giving it to me…" he sighed. "Anyways, I think that we should definitely give it to him. If he was stronger, maybe what happened yesterday… it could have been a bit different."
"True…" I nodded. "Alright Gabriel, come here!"
"Huh? What is it?" he quickly floated to our side, looking very curious. "Ohh!"
Until he noticed the big feather on my hand.
"Is that an archangel feather? I can feel some connection to it!" he said.
"Yes it is!" I nodded. "Do you want it? Here, so you can grow a bit stronger."
"T-Thank you!"
The cute angel boy quickly grabbed the feather and…
"Nom! Gulp…"
He ate it?!
We felt a bit shocked he just ate a big fluffy feather, which could have made him choke or something.
However, none of such things happened, the boy immediately absorbed the feather and started glowing brightly.
FLAAASH!
"Wooaaah!"
The light enveloped him completely, as if it were a cocoon!
Maybe he would change his appearance and age a bit?
The light cocoon encompassed him, fused with his body, then his body was revealed.
"Nice! I feel stronger! My wings got a big bigger, I think? Yes! Like… three centimeters bigger, wow, that's a lot!"
"Huh?"
We were staring at Gabriel in disbelief, after that show of lights, we imagined he would become a young adult or something but…
Aside from his golden and silky hair being even longer than before, and him looking… even cutter, he had not aged at all.
Did that feather even worked?!
"My Celestial Energy must have tripled now…" he said, looking at his hands and how they produced particles of light. "My magic is stronger, and I think my techniques as well! Perhaps I can do much more now, big sis! Everyone!"
He was very happy, so we smiled and congratulated him for his growth… I suppose that's for the better anyways. It would be awkward if he suddenly became a handsome young man while keeping his childish tendencies.
"That's nice to hear Gabriel!" I patted his little head. "Who wants some ice cream?"
"Me! Meee!" he started jumping happily.

Wasn't he cute? Maybe it's fine if he remains a child… Katherine I think? Did said that it would take him thousands of years to grow up… Huh, well, whatever.
As we moved back to the house to have a small break and eat something to cool down the heat produced by my domain, which felt like we were in the middle of the amazonian jungles in summer, I heard a new Voice of the World.
