Crystalia, Seraphina, and the other women were stunned when they heard her words.
"Princes…" Crystalia attempted to speak, but her words were swiftly interrupted.
"Call me Aurora, that is my name… and my identity from now on," Aurora responded, looking at Crystalia with a smile.
Crystalia swiftly nodded in understanding and cleared her throat, quickly correcting herself, "Aurora, is Aerialia, the goddess of the hunting moon, really your mother?" she asked, feeling beads of sweat gathering on her forehead.
After all, she and almost every important member of the Prismerion race were part of the Divine apostle of the goddess of the hunting moon, so she was earnest about confirming the authenticity of Aurora's words.
"Yes, I am telling the truth. But nonetheless, if you still choose to doubt me, you can ask her," Aurora responded, pointing towards Aerialia, who had narrowed her eyes at Crystalia.
Crystalia swiftly shook her head in response, "No, I believe you. I just wanted to ensure that I had heard your words correctly," she responded, feeling the weight of Aerialia's gaze on her.
The rest of the women also nodded their heads in agreement. After all, who would have expected that the Princess of the Garden, now named Aurora, was the daughter of Aerialia, the goddess of the hunting moon? Doesn't this mean their husband had charmed a goddess's daughter?
BANNGGG!! BOOOMMM!!

The women lifted their heads and gazed skyward. At first, they couldn't discern what was happening, but as they peered deeper, they noticed the thunderous, inky black clouds drawing closer. However, it only took them another second to realize that it wasn't just the clouds approaching; instead, they were slowly rising into the sky.
They were too stunned to speak once this realization hit them.
"Aurora, let's go!" Aerialia said, shifting her attention towards Aurora.
Aurora nodded in agreement. Aerialia instantly merged into Aurora's body again, taking partial possession of it. Large, brilliant white wings emerged from her back, and they took off into the sky, quickly locating Orion and heading towards him.
"Wow!" Grace exclaimed, observing the entire scene of Aurora taking flight into the air. She couldn't help but wonder where her father had gotten all these amazing mothers from.
….....
Village Chief's Compound
As the Vylkr spawns struggled to halt the floating territory, they only succeeded in slowing it down due to the cracks they had formed in the atmosphere.
This caused Aegis of the Arctic Deity to channel more divine energy to heal these cracks through the barrier, allowing it to safely advance without any problems. However, as he continued, Aegis of the Arctic Deity gradually became weaker, prompting the Vylkr energy to consume him rapidly, already taking away his left leg.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})The only reason the will of the Omnithriallian—the Vylkr energy
—had not entirely devoured him was the Primordial energy he had previously consumed, holding it at bay.
Suddenly, Aegis of the Arctic Deity let go of the sundial and gradually landed on the ground.
Orion rushed to catch him and assist his descent to the ground; however––
"Don't touch me," Aegis of the Arctic Deity shouted. "I know you can resist the Vylkr energy, but we shouldn't test your resistance to them," he added.
Orion nodded and took several steps back.
Aegis of the Arctic Deity gradually recovered some of his strength, slowly soaring into the air again.
BOOOMMM!!! BAANNNGGG!!
Several resounding sounds accompanied by bright light flashes erupted outside the barrier again, drawing their attention skyward again.

"So, there's one thing left, isn't there?" Orion responded. He recognized that Aegis of the Arctic Deity had done his best for their protection, and regardless of whether he chose to attack the Vylkrspawns, he would still die due to the Vylkr energy consuming his body from the inside out.
So he could already guess the necessary decision they needed to make without even being told.
"Yes. The only way to solve this issue is for me to finally face these Vylkr spawns and show them the power of'Aegisof the Arctic Deity.' I've already modified the use of the manmade god with the sundial, and it won't stop rising until it has reached a certain level."
"Because the shield is now driven by Primordial energy rather than Divine energy, you don't need to worry about any attacks breaking through it unless you are being attacked by a true god. Also, you don't need to worry about it being seen; I've ensured that the barrier blends with its surroundings," Aegis of the Arctic Deity responded.
The only reason he was willing to attack the Vylkr spawns was that they were supposedly Naka's creation for a perfect race and that they had dared infringe upon a territory under his protection. And as a god sworn to be the imposing shield protecting all those behind him, how could he continue to watch their futile attempts from a corner?
Also, if there was indeed a god who had come to watch what was occurring, he would use this opportunity to deter and scare them off from trying to do anything stupid.
Orion nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a familiar figure landing beside them.
"Aerialia," Orion said, watching as Aerialia instantly separated from the Princess of the Garden's body when she landed and immediately approached them.
"What's going on?"Aerialia asked, her voice tinged with worry.
Although she hadn't expected them to raise the territory into the sky, she wanted to ensure they had thought everything through despite it being a credible option considering their previous and current dilemmas.
