Chapter 889: Crest of Order
“…I wonder what’s taking her so long?” Raven murmured as she stared at his wife who’s still deep in her immersion.
It’s been two months since Mark’s breakthrough. Raven initially thought that Luna would also have hers a month earlier but it seems that this wasn’t the case.
There had been no signs of her breakthrough just yet, not even a single fluctuation since she started. This was starting to worry Raven because something might’ve happened that he’s unaware of.
Still he just can’t barge in and interrupt her seclusion because that would endanger her as well. He could only watch and be ready if anything happens he supposes.
From what he can see, Luna doesn’t show signs of being lost or there were any injuries on her body. She’s just in stasis because of how long her enlightenment has been going on.
Raven already checked the others as well. None of them sustained any kind of injuries during their breakthrough and right now, all of them are enjoying a rare moment of peace and rest.
They might’ve just been sitting in seclusion all this time but their mind was working overtime, their exhaustion roots from the mind not their body and that takes even longer to heal so they really needed to rest.
As for himself, Raven didn’t bother with his research. At least for now, he doesn’t. He wanted to keep his attention focused on his wife just in case something bad happens which he wishes doesn’t occur.
He was confident that Luna had a firm foundation before they began so there shouldn’t be any problems, still he could also be wrong. He isn’t omniscient, some things could still elude his gaze. He wished that he was and most of the times he is, but in reality, he wasn’t.
“…if the Divinity she’s pursuing has something to do with her specialty, which is Light, then it doesn’t make sense why its taking her so long.” Raven thought to himself.
“But what if its not then?” He mused to himself. “…I guess that explains it.”
His confidence behind Luna’s talents aren’t unfounded. If its just sheer talent alone and perception, she could even give him a run for his money without how in-tune she is with her chosen path. It’s as if she was born to walk the Path of Light itself, like she was Light’s incarnation or something.
This is why she was hailed as a Holy Maiden in the first place. When it comes to understand what Light can do, nobody in all of Divine Realm could hold a candle to Luna.
Condensing a Divinity that resonates with on a spiritual level shouldn’t be too difficult, especially when she’s favored by it in the first place. She shouldn’t even feel any kind of resistance from it, if anything, it should be more than willing to become her Divinity, which means that it really shouldn’t take this long.
Raven was even expecting her breakthrough to come first before the others. However, it seems that there were unknown factors that’s in play which takes a lot of time.
It’s times like this that Raven would’ve loved to know what’s going on, unfortunately he doesn’t and could only wait until she shows some kind of reaction.
“Thankfully, looking at her doesn’t feel tiring.” Raven murmured in amusement.
Since he doesn’t know what’s going to happen, the wisest thing he could do for now is just observe. He’ll get a chance to understand things eventually anyways.
That chance, came after two more months of waiting.
One day, Raven was startled by a stifling fluctuations being released by his wife. He stood up in alarm and was ready to intervene should things look bad. However, before he could do so, something happened that stunned him.
“That’s…” Raven was gobsmacked.
He watched as Luna began floating in the air as a brilliant crest formed at her bosom.
The crest was fitted perfectly there. It was circular and filled with numerous colors that swerved, combined and separated. It was a mirage and it is something that doesn’t just appear to anyone.
“The Crest of Order?” Raven’s eyes widened. He almost couldn’t believe what he’s seeing right now but all is displayed before him, preventing him from doubting it even further.
“She was chosen by the Order? Why?” Raven was confused.
His confusion was understandable. Just like what he mentioned earlier, this crest doesn’t just appear out of nowhere or randomly. In fact, only one person is able to have this kind of crest for the entire lifespan of a realm.
The Crest of Order is basically the representation of the Heavenly Law Order. Bearing this crest means that the bestowed person will be the future hope of the realm.
This crest holds the very essence of Divine Realm itself. Should the realm fall in peril and destroyed, this crest will act as a seed for which another Divine Realm could form.
Basically, Luna became the host of future Divine Realm. She has to nurture this whether she likes it or not since its the only way she’ll be able to use her power due to the crest being the symbol of her own Divinity.
With that being said, why was she chosen then? What’s going on here?
Raven didn’t know what to feel about this situation. On one hand, he sees this an opportunity and probably a sign. On the other hand, he wanted to complain. Why her of all people? Why does it have to be her?
He can’t stop this even if he wanted to. Even if he could, he still has to respect his wife’s wishes since there is a chance that she claimed this herself.
Raven could only watch as Luna’s aura steadily climbed, reaching the Divine Knight Realm and even transcending it a bit further.
As she comes down from the high, she landed on the ground and slowly opened her eyes.
At this point, Raven removed the formation and rushed towards her side.
He was the first one she sees. Luna noticed that Raven looked worried and conflicted. It’s obvious by the way he fusses over her, asking her if she was okay and if she feels fine. Luna chuckled and held his hand, saying:
“I’m okay.”
“Are you sure. You don’t feel weird don’t you? Do you need rest?”
Luna shook her head briefly and said: “I can still go on. We should talk first before I rest, you look like you need it.”
“Well…you really can’t blame me for that.” He frowned, “Did you even know what happened to you?”
“I know.” Luna nodded. She caressed the crest on her bosom and smiled. “Trust me, I know. The Heavenly Law Order gave me this option and I decided to take it, willingly of course. So don’t fuss anymore, it’s already here. You can’t remove this.”
Raven sighed after hearing her say that. It seems that his guess was correct. She did claimed this herself. She chose this path and there’s nothing he can do to talk her out of this.
“Forget it.” Raven sighed again, “You’re right. It’s already there and I can’t remove it. We might as well take advantage of it, just in case.”
“Right.” Luna nodded, “On a different note, me having this is a major boost to out strength as well. I’ll have you know that I have full control over the Counter-Guardians right now because of this, so don’t you worry about my safety. We can do this. I believe in us.”
With Luna being the host of the Heavenly Law Order’s seed, she basically became the representative of the Order itself. The Counter Guardians, beings that have been formed from the husks of the Abyssals for use to fight against them, falls under her complete control so there’s really no need to worry about her safety.
In addition to this, being the representative of Order comes with many more benefits such as being able to peer through the very thoughts of the Heavenly Law Order itself without suffering its wrath and even using its might according to her own wishes.
Suffice to say, within the Divine Realm, Luna is invincible as she’s under its complet3 protection.
And if she managed to nurture the seed given to her, she will also become the Mother of that new Divine Realm, of course with her husband being the Father.
All in all, this isn’t really so bad.
“Alright, what’s done is done I guess.” Raven sighed, “Geez, you and Mark are really…ugh.”
Raven was still feeling a bit down from Mark’s choices and now this.
He understands why they did it but still…
“I’ll have you know that I don’t like this.” Raven stated, “But it’s already here, so we might as well. Just make sure that you come to me, alright? I won’t allow you to nurture that thing alone.”
“I know.” Luna nodded, she gave Raven a hug and felt exhaustion hitting her. “Thank you for believing in me. You’re the best.”
He could only sigh with that. He didn’t say anything and just carried his wife out of the throne room and into their private chambers so that she can rest.
Raven will allow this to happen since its already here, but still he didn’t like it. Not because it was done behind his back…
Its because he didn’t like the signs that are being shown to him.
