"You mean to say that those things that trampled on our pride were merely whims of the goddess?" The baby angel Mikhail stated in shock.
"Of course. The gods can make covenants just by speaking a vow and imbuing it with their divine energy. In my case, I used the collective divine energy of the gods of death so make sure you do not break that covenant." Adrian stated.
"He told me about the outrageous things that the Goddess of Light Luminaria would make them do." Ark stated as he looked at the disheartened baby angel Mikhail.
"I would have guessed she would have done that because she is all flair and no substance. Gods are the most likely beings to be pompous jerks which is why you never really want to meet them in real life." Adrian stated as Ark suddenly looked at the sky above.
"Will you not offend them?" Ark stated as he is looking at the skies if it is suddenly charged with lightning or any divine phenomena.
"Only simpleminded gods or goddesses will be hurt by my words if they are listening to it. The ones that are magnanimous and great would just let those words slip by as if they never heard it because they are not the ones that are targeted about that." Adrian stated as Ark suddenly had a realization of how his guild leader handles the gods and goddesses.
Adrian knew that his words might have offended some of the gods that were listening in on the conversation. He could feel their gazes, but it is akin to some form of chills or tingles. He cannot pinpoint or tell which gods are gazing at him, but he just makes sure to ignore them. If he did not ignore them then he would have second thoughts on what he needs to do.
"The only place I am safe is the other continents since their influence in other continents are rather vague. Thankfully, Avalon is protected from the eyes of the gods, or I might actually rally the gods of death to attack those busybodies." Adrian thought as he smiled.
"You have become cooler in my eyes, guild leader." Ark stated.
"Now that all of you seven are in a covenant with Ark, this means that all of you are under me as well." Adrian stated which suddenly snapped the baby angel Mikhail from his shock of being ridiculed by the Goddess of Light Luminaria.
"This was not part of the covenant!" The baby angel Mikhail rebuked.
"You are under Ark as confidants. Do not get me wrong with that as I never tamper with a covenant. Do you know that you will be bathe with divine retribution for ten days straight if you do such a thing? I am just saying that all of you are under me because Ark is a direct subordinate of mine. If you want to get technical then you are lower in rank because all of you are under Ark." Adrian stated which made the baby angel Mikhail freeze as he forgot to think about that.
"This cannot be! My proud angels under a demon!" The baby angel Mikhail stated as he floated to his bed and cried himself to sleep.
"Did their intelligence also drop when they became babies? I am starting to feel that you suddenly got the short end of the stick." Adrian stated as he never expected that the most powerful of the angels was like this now.
"I was actually surprised as well but the others told me that is his real attitude. He was only acting as the perfect angel because the Goddess of Light Luminaria was always watching him. He also gets punished if he does something un-angel like of whatever that means.
How can a goddess know what angel should be when she is not an angel herself? I get that she managed to create them but even parents do not know what their children will become. She basically created the angels to have some glorified trophy slaves that she can boast about to other gods." Ark stated as his words resonated with the sleeping baby angels.
They might not be fully active but all seven of the most powerful angels did not lose their edge. Their current body just needs more rest, but they will still react if danger is around them. They can only do this as they know that only Ark could truly protect them without any problems. The Seven Angels of Virtue did not get a warm welcome from other angels when they got revived.
The angels that saw them looked at them with scorn and Ark was the only one that defended them. The Nephilim were indifferent to them, but they would still attack them should they do something bad. If not for Ark, the Seven Baby Angels of Virtue would have been exiled from the area. Even the devils do not like them so they cannot hide in Hell while waiting for their powers to come back.
"So, what are we going to do with their powers? Which one should we do first? Does at least one of them have a vague location of where their powers got sent to?" Adrian asked questions in quick succession that Ark had a bit of trouble keeping up.
"We can start with mine as I have managed to detect it albeit in a faint sense." The baby angel Gabriel stated as he corrected his cute glasses as it was messy since he just woke up.
"This would be?" Adrian asked as he is not really familiar with the angels.
"Do you not respect your opponents? To think that you have forgotten about me! You are a champion of the Twin Gods. You should be able to remember every valiant warrior that stood in your way. Is this not how you celebrate the life and death of warriors?" The baby angel Gabriel stated as he became frustrated that Adrian did not recognize him.
"I remember all of you names but not your face. I did not have time looking closely at all of you as all I imagined is bashing all your faces back then." Adrian responded in full honesty that the baby angel Gabriel was speechless.
"This is the Angel Gabriel and the second in command among them. His blessing is called Patience, and it increases his combat power for as long as the fight gets prolonged." Ark stated.
"You said blessing? If this was a blessing, then it should have been gone the moment the Goddess of Light Luminaria died." Adrian stated.
"They said that their powers just separated from them when they were killed. Does this mean that the Goddess of Light Luminaria could still be alive?!" Ark suddenly stated in fear.
"Do not overreact because she is worse than dead. She was erased from existence because her true divine body was fully destroyed. What I am thinking is in the line of the abilities that these seven have are not 'blessings', but their actual true abilities. A power born from their very soul that resonated with their determination." Adrian stated as blessing would vanish if the gods that gave them died or relinquished it.
"I cannot be wrong as our powers will vanish if we do anything to displease the Goddess of Light Luminaria. If they were truly our innate abilities, then we would have been able to use them despite being punished by that wretched goddess." The baby angel Gabriel stated.
"I said that your abilities are born from your soul. If a god or another being has full access to your souls, then they would have the ability to temporarily seal it. Since the Goddess of Light Luminaria was a control freak, I would guess there is something like a 'master lock' in the souls of the angels back then which she used to control all of you." Adrian stated which made the baby angel Gabriel go into contemplation and actually agree with the former's words. "Does that mean we were really inhibited for all our lives?" The baby angel Gabriel stated in utter shock as he thought that the words of the devils back then were empty when they said that the goddess was holding them back.
"I would even say that the Goddess Luminaria stunted your growths as a race which is why you have potential to be gods when released. I mean... look at the devil gods that rule over Hell. They were among the first batch of the angels that were created back then. If all of you have equal talents, then all of you would have a chance to become gods if someone did not hold you back." Adrian stated.
Ark also agreed with Adrian's statements as he could see the difference back then for angels that possessed humans. The angels that possessed humans actually have more talent than a normal angel. Even if the human they possessed is talentless, the pure talent of the angel itself will overwrite the talent of the body they possessed.
