Chapter 697: Chapter 697: The Holy Spirit

"The way… she begs?"

Diana, Bernard, and Alice all looked at each other as they heard Riley's words—thinking of several other ways it could be interpreted as, but only one really surfaces in their minds.

"Can you repeat that, Riley?"

[The way she begs for the lives of others remains the same.]

And like a confirmation of what they have already deduced, Riley repeated his words; this time even clearer,

[The Aerith of my world never begs for her sake—it will always be for others around her. She is not just a superhero. She is the beacon of everything good, of hope, of salvation. The only being that I could consider holy—She is Megawoman, and the love of my life.]

"Aerith is the Megawoman of your world?" Bernard furrowed.

"You didn't know?" Diana raised an eyebrow, "I thought you were listening in on us."

"...I didn't get to that part."

"Pft, nerd," Alice chuckled to herself.
