Reign sat down on the charred ground of the battlefield before closing his eyes and starting the evolution.
A change occurred instantaneously as his body transformed. Two large wings sprung out from his back and seemingly passed through the armor while his height changed as well.
He grew to 2.10 meters tall, his hair grew longer and his body gained more muscle mass. Luckily for him, all the equipment he had was of high quality and they could somewhat change their size in order to accommodate the wearer.
As soon as the wings appeared, they hugged Reign and covered his entire body before lightning started coiling around them as well.
Light and darkness fused together as a white and black ball once again appeared around Reign while a translucent barrier appeared about 4 meters around Reign. The translucent barrier was actually not a real barrier, but the manifestation of his soul manipulation ability that would harm the souls of all that would try to get close to Reign.
Reign went into a deep sleep while the ball slowly pulsated as if it was a heart.
That was only the beginning as the longer the evolution continued, the stronger the manifestation of his powers became.
The sky above the battlefield turned gray as clouds gathered and lightning started to fall down and rain upon the battlefield about 200 meters around Reign.
Light and darkness coexisted and appeared around Reign as well as the ground turned pitch black as if it was covered in some sort of oil. Light shone from the ball and basked the surroundings in its glow while the translucent barrier started getting larger and green figures started appearing around the ball.
The figures were the souls of the fallen.
The array that Raigon had used managed to take almost all of the souls of the dead, but more had fallen after the battle, not to mention those that died from the army of Riplas that were not taken by the array at all.
The demonic creatures that died had died holding negative emotions that left their souls wandering around the battlefield, while there were some soldiers from the army of Riplas that had died with regret and stayed as well.
The souls now converged at Reign's location and basked in the glow of his light, while those that had become vengeful spirits were suddenly caught by black arms that sprung from the ground and were pulled in.
As for Reign, he felt as if he was floating in space as he had no control over his body. He felt incredible power coursing through his body at this moment, but he was unaware of his surroundings and couldn't move a muscle.
That was before the light appeared.
A bright light suddenly shone through the void in which Reign was floating and forced him to close his eyes. When he opened them again, he was inside a small cabin.
A window was on his left and Reign could see the beautiful scenery that was outside.
Trees that he had never seen below rose high up and formed a net that allowed for limited sunlight to pass. Many animals could be seen moving through the trees and on the ground, all of them living in peace.
Some animals he could recognize as they were from Earth. There were some rabbits, deer, monkeys, and more.
Some, he could not recognize, however as he was completely unfamiliar with them. Large animals that were as big as rhinos moved through the forest and took care not to step on any small animal that was nearby.
Some of them had tusks, some were covered in fur, and some had plates.
They came in all shapes, some were slim and had barely any fat, some were bulky and some had muscles bulging out of their bodies and showing that they were incredibly powerful.
A nice smell suddenly permeated the small cabin in which Reign was located in, making him look to the side.
"It's nice to see you again so soon, Reign." The white-haired Raziel spoke with a smile as he filled two cups with tea.
"Here, try it, it's quite nice, makes me think of the black tea that I drank on Earth," Raziel said as he brought the cup near Reign before taking a sip out of his own.
"I still have to say that my tea-making skills have not reached the level I want them to be."
"Turkey and the Balkans have better black tea than mine, but well, they're probably in chaos together with the rest of Earth about now," Raziel said calmly as Reign took the cup of tea and took a sip.
He had black tea before, but it was the store-bought one, not one like Raziel had made right now.
"It's good."
"Thanks," Raziel responded with a smile before placing his cup of tea down on the table.
Reign was sitting on a chair opposite Raziel and he took another sip before placing the cup down and looking at the man.
He was clueless about who Raziel was before, but now he was certain.
The man from his visions, the one that was on Earth a long time ago, was definitely him.
"You can ask me anything you like, no need to hesitate," Raziel said as he seemingly read Reign's mind.
"You're from Earth, but one that is very different from my Earth, right?"
Raziel chuckled a bit before nodding.
"To be more specific, I'm from the planet that was much later named Earth, back in my days, we called it Elysion."
"Elysion." Reign said calmly before looking at Raziel.
"Why didn't you help us, with your strength, you could have easily taken control over Earth and calmed the situation down, right?" Reign asked Raziel who shook his head with a sad expression.
"Things are never that simple, Reign."
"I could have done that, yes, but the repercussions would have been much bigger than the Earth going through the game, hell, it might end up in the entire planet ceasing to exist in the future."
"What?"
"The system and I, you see, are not really on good terms," Raziel said calmly as Reign stared at him in confusion.
"Oh, and don't worry, the system has no access to this place, nor the visions you have had, it can't break through my barriers so easily after all," Raziel said with a smile on his face.
"Well, I won't be going into details, as you knowing more than this would have negative effects later on, but all you need to know is that the Nephilims are not subject to the same things as me, on the contrary, the system is quite interested in all of you and always tries to be as nice as possible, always hoping for one to join and allow the system full access to their bodies and what it might contain."
Raziel took another sip before looking out of the window.
"I don't really care for what kind of relationship any of you have with the system, but I will not allow it to use any of you as guinea pigs, which is why I have forbidden them from allowing the system full access, it's for both my and your own good, trust me," Raziel said with a serious expression before looking at Reign.
"Once you reach the realm of a Transcendent, you will be allowed to know more, but for now, this is all that I can tell you without endangering you," Raziel said before getting up.
"Unfortunately, I will have to make this meeting of ours short, your brethren have become quite rowdy upon sensing your existence, I have to go and calm them down and talk to them about you," Raziel said with a smile as Reign had a confused expression on his face.
-n0ve1、com "They can sense me?"
"Well, they can sense the initial outburst of power that happens after your awakening, once you become more powerful, you will be able to do the same."
"A new Nephilim being born is not a small matter, even in the entire universe."
"But anyway, congratulations on evolving to Tier IV, continue fighting and becoming stronger Reign, and then we will finally be able to meet face-to-face," Raziel said with a smile before he turned into a bright light and disappeared from the spot.
The moment he left, Reign could feel the entire cabin and the forest around him changing until nothing but darkness was left around him. He was no longer sitting but standing up and before he could do anything, he opened his eyes.
The ball that was formed around Reign disappeared while his wings retracted back to his body as he finally stood up from the ground.
Contrary to before, there was no destruction that Reign was able to see. Each of his previous evolutions would turn the surroundings in shambles, but this time, it was different.
The lightning bolts that fell down from the sky had done no damage to the ground as it was covered by the power of darkness which had simply devoured the power of the lightning bolts.
Instead of destruction, Reign could see green grass covering the ground 400 meters around him. The once barren land had suddenly regained its vitality thanks to his evolution.
