Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

"What are you stressing about?" Kayla asked quietly. She was sitting on Raven's shoulder in a small version of her clone, next to Gaia.

"Yeah, don't overthink it," Gaia said with a soft smile. "They are not attacking all at once, the reason is most likely that it's hard to fight all at once; they'd end up destroying their own ranks by their own hands!"

"Uhm, I know…" Raven nodded while dismissing her Soul Peering Eyes, her updated version of True Sight. The skill enabled her to see through the illusions and even peer through one's soul, as such it was rather easy to see the unbelievable scene of the angels covering many planets like bees in their own hive. "But… Did you see how many there are? They can occupy the entire Solar System, that means that-"

"Rave!" Kayla jumped up and pinched Raven's cheek between her tiny hands. "It's okay! We'll take care of all of them; none will leave alive! They have their massive numbers, but we have 'that' trump card, did you forget?"

"True, what she said, we'll kick their a*ses for sure when we go all out!" Gaia encouraged.

Hearing the two of Kayla and Gaia trying to encourage her, Raven finally smiled while nodding gently.

Both of Kayla and Gaia knew it was a fake smile, yet none commented any further. 

Dismissing the matter, Raven looked around her at the scenes of cruel deaths. 

Suddenly, her eyes regained their golden luster as she adopted a serious expression.

"Wait, Rave what are you doing?" Kayla asked, confused.

"Eh? I want to make some stops before proceeding with my mission," Raven said with a shrug. "I'm just going to go to the Teleportation Gate connecting the two planes, is that acceptable?"

"Yes, you can," Kayla replied urgently. "But why fly over, just use the Teleportation Seal, no forget the Seal, you could directly teleport there!"

Raven could use teleportation with the help of Kayla's Cyber Particles, as such she didn't need to fly through the battlefield. But she somehow ignored that fact!

"It's more refreshing to fly. It helps calm one's soul, you know…" Without waiting for Kayla to respond, Raven headed towards the direction of the portal like a hypersonic missile!

While flying through the crowds, she didn't forget to flare her aura and slaughter angels like a hungry beast that hasn't seen the light in centuries. 

Wherever she passed, the angel soldiers would vanish into blood mist while the Terran soldiers would cheer happily!

After a few minutes of continuous bloodshed, Raven was already standing in front of the Teleportation Gate. Since it was placed in a desolated jungle, no angels were present.

Once she got there, she had the urge to go back and soak her hands in some more angel blood, but Kayla strongly disapproved leaving Raven helpless.

Seeing their Supreme Ruler, the two demon guards greeted her respectfully. 

Nodding softly as a relaxed smile filled her happy face, she jumped and disappeared into the Gate.

Waiting a few seconds in order to make sure that she was truly gone, the two demon guards stared into each other's eyes. They both had expressions of deep horror as they both shuddered.

"Wasn't her armour… dark?" One guard stuttered. It was no secret that Raven's armour was made by herself and it has always been dark black. "Why is it red now… and what was that smell…?"

The other guard shuddered once more as he looked at his partner, slowly shaking his head, urging him to shut up and stand guard quietly.

It was obviously blood! The smell of blood, the colour of blood, and the horror of soaking in blood… They both knew it too well, but the surprise and shock made them doubt their own perception.

What made matters even more terrifying was that their mistress' skin was still as white as snow. Did she cover her body and a sheet of mana to protect against the splashing blood? Why didn't she do the same for the armour? Is she trying to send a message…? Too scary!!

The two guards wondered how could such a delicate and tiny looking body, as that of their mistress, look so ordinary and cute yet have the power to eradicate entire armies! She even smiled at them before leaving through the portal!

She looked harmless to all living beings, yet… they both knew that they would not have seen that relaxing smile of hers if they were her enemies! 

Their mistress was like the spring breeze for her people, yet resembled a hurricane straight out of hell for those who choose to be on her bad side! Never have they been so thankful for being someone else's subordinates!

Walking through the castle's wide and well decorated hallways made Raven feel slightly stressed.

Her stress this time wasn't a result of the battles outside, but rather from the person she was coming to meet right now-

"Rave!" Just as she was thinking about it, a voice rang throughout the castle as a figure appeared at the end of the hallway. "You finally came to see me? I thought I was not on your list of important people!"

Just yesterday, when she had visited Aella, Maria, and the others, she didn't visit this person, which made her obviously upset!

Looking down in embarrassment, Raven didn't dare look the person in the eyes. However, she didn't stop walking either!

Seeing that Raven didn't even apologize made this person's heart almost break, but fortunately, the feeling didn't even last a second before Raven stopped in front of her and wrapped her between her arms quietly.

"I am well aware of how useless it is to apologize…" Raven's defeated voice was rather low and sounded pitiful, urging people to do their best in order to make her feel better.. Clearly, it had this effect on the person that was wrapped between her tender arms. "Even asking for forgiveness is too much, but I hope that me coming now is a clear indication that I've never forgotten about you…"
