Lilian PoV
At the moment we are flying. I guess that is the wrong statement. Floating maybe. Around us is a great tunnel. All along the walls were lines and figures just like the outer circle of a magic circle. The walls themselves were shining and shifting through the entire rainbow as we passed through.
(Yes they are at this moment moving through the games internal systems between the two worlds. If I called each world a different server would it be easier to understand)
Our bodies weren’t visible all their was is light. Smile dots of light that just kept floating forward in 9 small clusters of light.
We just looked forward because we could not speak in this tunnel. After a while I saw a dark spot straight in front of us. As we drew closer the dark spot grew and opened to a new world similar to my own but it was more...chaotic. Instead of being a natural blue or green the color all around was red or black. As we approach we see the planet as a whole and all the oceans were colored like blood running like veins. The land looked scared. As we draw closer to the ground, we see below us a large array of magic circles open up. The circles were all like the one we drew but the number was larger than a single one.
As we near it we slow down and slowly cross it. From each spot we passed a group of 5 circles were created below us and the particles of light that made each of our beings move towards them. Slowly but surely our bodies began to rebuild themselves until our minds returned to our bodies and we slowly descended.
Under us was a forest but instead of lush green leaves they were black and looked dead but they held unwilling to let go of their trees. Looking up the sun was up but instead of the beautiful blue sky all there was is an ominous dark red one. All I could feel from what i see is a miserable place that i see little life flourishing in. I grew depressed but i still forced myself to look around to see if i could see any life. We were lucky because we spotted a small town some distance away before the hills blocked my view.
As we touch the ground the grip of the teleportation spells magic let go and we stood by our own strength.
Vil’cri: Ah no place like home.
Lilian: Really I feel more depressed than anything looking around.
Vil’cri: Just so you know this is my own personal feeling. There are many who hate this world. The underworld is a harsh land where the weak have a hard time living in.
Lilian: Maybe its because of all this miasma. Can’t they get someone to get rid of this stuff.
Vil’cri: This is Lucifer’s miasma. It covers the whole planet because he has too much excess power so it leaks constantly. It’s especially dense near his castle. Where we are now is really little miasma. I would say just a bit denser than the miasma in you castle. We must be on the other side of the planet if its this thin.
Lilian: How long would it take to reach Lucifer’s castle from here?
Vil’cri: If we leave now maybe 3 years if he go straight their. Much more if you want to do whatever you want.
Jesse: Wow thats far.
Lilian: I think its better that we are far. That we it would take long for him to hunt us down as well. We also need to get stronger so we can survive here. So first lets head to the town I spotted in the distance. The best thing we should do is learn about where we are first.
Everyone agreed and we began moving. Plum was forced to give Vil’cri a ride while the rest of us flew above them. Her look of disgust was evident. We reached the village quickly after 10 minutes. As we moved close the guards spotted us and got ready to fight. All of them looked like brutes but much larger and smarter.
Guard: Halt! Who are you.
Lilian: I am Lilian. These are my companions.
Vil’cri: Move it worms.
Guard 2: You dare order us around. Even as a lich we take no orders from you kind.
He began releasing a tremendous killing intent that felt unnatural for a simple guard.
Lilian: Please we mean no hard we...just arrived around here.
Guard 3: We know we saw that teleportation spell drop you there. Now what are you creatures with white wings.
I reluctantly tell them our races which make them drop the tension.
Guard 1: hahaha to think it was an Angel who would have thought one would come to the demon world.
Guard 4: But why aren’t you suffocating? The miasma of the demon world should be poisonous to celestial creatures.
Lilian: My adoptive brother was a demon and a few months ago he became a dungeon boss by connecting with a dungeon core. The next day i forced a connection with it as well and my mana mixed with a small part of his. The cupids came after i mixed in so they have part of it to as for these two.
Kitsu: We gain part of our mana from you after we use a part of it since you are our master. Its a kind of link so we gained part of it after a while.
Guard 2: Wow such a unique group of Celestials. Anyway what do you want to do here?
I gave him a big smile.
Lilian: I want to become the first goddess for the demons.
All the guards and even Vil’cri looked at her slack jawed. After a moment of silence they all broke out in laughter. I just let them laugh until the started to calm down.
Lilian: And what is so funny about that?
Guard 4: Demons don’t need a god. Easy as that.
I tilt my head and look inside the town. Their eyes follow mine. Behind them were many groups of weak looking demons. All of which were skinny and looked hungry.
Lilian: That doesn’t look like everything is easy as that.
Guard 1: Its our problem.
Vil’cri: Its easy to explain that girl. Its common in all towns. The demon beasts outside of the town are two strong for them as such there is little food. And because the ground is contaminated it cannot support much life besides the corrupt trees you see around you. For such as I i feel at home in the demon world but for others this place is a curse.
All the guards frowned and looked down while balling up their fists.
Lilian: Is the miasma the only problem here since it corrupts to ground and trees.
Guards: Huh?
They all looked at me blankly.
Lilian: Maybe i can help.
???: Unless you can absorb all the miasma in the planet and kill the demon lord then you can’t help.
We looked at the source of the voice. It came from a human sized man with blue skin and silver hair. He had long horns coming out of his head. He was dressed in armor befitting a general in the Mortal world.
Guard 3: Chief Absal
Lilian: I may not be able to absorb the miasma but i can purify it.
Absal: Purifying it will not get rid of it. It will make a safe place for celestial beings to appear from.
Vil’cri: Girl to clear an area of miasma you either absorb it or you neutralize it. Neutralizing it is difficult but its only possible for angels.
This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
Lilian: How is it done?
Vil’cri: You pull the miasma into your body and purify it within. The white miasma that is released from your body afterward will slowly eat away at the black miasma as well as any spectrals that linger in the area. Just know there is a chance for you to be corrupt by the process.
Lilian: If i can help them then i will do it.
Absal: Your a crazy bitch thats what you are. You could become a demon angel and loss your mind for doing something like that. It’s dangerous for us as well if you fail.
Lilian: That will not stop me.
Before he could react my wings were out and i was in the air. I quickly flew over the center of the village and stopped in the air over the plaza. With my wings spread wide i began to will the black miasma into my body.
As in started to enter my body my mind was instantly bombarded by memories of all those tortured by the demon lord. The dead did not rest while they lived in this world. They could not pass on because the demon worlds miasma grabbed ahold of their souls and made the suffer so much.
To those looking below they could see the Lilian’s wings begin to turn black just as she was as a fallen angel.
Within her mind she fought these feeling of rage and anger that were overwhelming her. She started to feel scared and she retreated into her mind. She was scared of the memories, of the feelings. It made her feel the feeling of lost like it was her loved ones she was losing before her eyes.
Lilian: s-st-op g-get aw-ay from m-my family
She started to push back but as soon as she touched the memories they overwhelmed her again. As she hid herself again she saw a figure. It started as a little one year old. He was holding out his hand. Slowly get got bigger then again and again. The face was darkened by a bright light behind him.
???: Do.. .e af.a.d…..
(Don’t be afraid)
Lilian: What?
She lift her eyes to look at him. He was much bigger now. A young man of 18 smiling at her with a bright and warm smile that took away her fears.
???: Don’t be afraid. You are strong, kind and above all caring. You have enough love for Mom, uncle, our friends and for all those who you dont even know. Dont be afraid and just stretch out that love to all the lost souls.
With boy held his hand out and she slowly grabbed a hold of it. Holding that hand she felt calm, she felt loved, she felt love. With all her love she opened her hugged wings and touched the wall of crying souls. The moment she touched the souls they were all filled with love and their pain began to easie. From that radiant center the bright light that was her boundless love for all those around her began spreading.
Those who saw her just looked up worried at her. Her beautiful white wings were almost completely black now. Suddenly her body began to shine and her black wings returned to white and seemed to shine even brighter. The miasma around her seem to be sucked in with great intensity and from the back of her wing a great torrent of white mist was being released and as it clashed with the black miasma it absorbed it into itself which made it grow stronger. It spread farther until the town was filled with it. Those inside the white miasma felt all the love she felt towards all life.
As the white mist flooded outside of the village gates and came in contact with the grass and trees. Many howls of spectras could be heard. Looking around you could see the souls of the damned flying around and into the miasma trying to stop its advance only to be absorbed like all the souls within the miasma. The trees and plants that were corrupt all let loose the miasma within and soon the trunk turned brown and the leaves gained life. The grass also became a strong green filled with life.
All the demons who made fun of her just looked in awe at the most beautiful sight the demon world would have. The love within the white mist began filling the demons and soon all of them began to love the young angel who risked her life to help them.
Lilian: Thank you Baal. I won't forget that. I dont need to be afraid of them. I just need to love them and fight for them to my last breath. I will fight and love all the demons who have suffered in this world until their is no more suffering in this cursed land
Floating down and landing in the center of town I was met with looks filled with admiration and love. All the demons around me were smiling as they looked at me. Suddenly they started to bow to me which kind of embarrassed but as one they spoke.
Demons: All hail our Goddess
I smile at them and ask them to to stand.
Lilian: From today on I will help change this world. No matter how long it takes or who I face. I will fight for all those i love with all my strength. For all of you I will fight to my last breath.
They all let out a powerful cheer towards their new goddess.

In the mortal world in all the churches of Light a statue of Lilian stood. Unlike Valeria's it lacked the shine which shines around a gods statue. Slowly but surely the began to radiate a light. A calm light filled with love for all creatures.
In the cathedril of the church of light Michel was standing in front of Valeria's statue. Next to her statue were two statue of children he cared greatly about. They were dule compared to valeria's who radiates light from it. As he looked he noticed something from Lilians statue. It had begun to radiate light filled with love overflowing from it. On the base the message "Lilian, Angel messenger of the Goddess of Light" began to change.
Of its own accord the letters on the base changed and soon it settled down forming a new message.
"Lilian Guadian Angel of Love and Battle"
A wide grin spread on Michel's face. It had as much overflowing love as the statue.
Michel: So my little angel has found her path. I prey for your safe journy on your difficult path my little angel of love.
