Chapitre 64: Earth's state before and after the war
"Yes, that's right. Though, they too were surprised by humans' power, so they have difficulties creating mayhem among their ranks," Aria paused a moment so that Kye could continue listening to her. "And angels are also present among humans."
[Quest: The demonic group
You get closer to the truth due to the information you gain.]
Kye looked blankly in the middle of the air, making Aria curious about what he was thinking. If Kye had, to be honest, he had completely forgotten about this mission he had received during the first few days of military school. The rewards were hidden, and it wasn't as if he could complete it since even for the military and the big families, the demonic group was still a mystery. So how could he, a student and a low-level one at that could manage to find their goal? It was impossible for Kye, so he had just forgotten about it since there wasn't any point in pondering about this mission.
So he was taken aback by this sudden message when he saw it. But as to not alarm Aria, he quickly continued. "How? Don't their wings are a dead giveaway that they aren't humans?"
"Haha, of course not. They couldn't be called strong if they couldn't hide their powers as well. And to be honest, it still shocks me that you don't know about that."
"What do you mean?"
"Even though you have holy energy and wings that are as small as a newborn, it's clear that you weren't born as an angel. Your parents would have taught you everything if it was the case. And if they were angels, they wouldn't have fought the intelligent monsters since they would have already known how strong they were."
"H-how did you know?" Kye didn't see any point in lying since it was as clear as crystal that Aria already knew that he was an angel.
"Well, I can see the energy in your body being unstable and escaping from your body as if you can't control it, which with you probably already faced some consequences."
"You mean my friends acting strangely?" Aria nodded. "Tch, I knew that it have something to do with my energy," Kye's eyes then looked at Aria's. "Can you teach me how to control it? And how to hide my wings as well?"
"Hmm, should I?" Even though Aria wasn't an angel, she was old enough to have frequented all types of people, angels and demons included. So she knew a thing or two regarding that. "How about you answer some questions of mine first?" She asked kindly to not force Kye.
"Sure. You answered so many of my questions and even told me the truth behind the invasion of monsters on Earth. And to be honest, if I see things objectively and ain't clouded by my hatred toward them, I would say that it was a good thing that they invaded Earth."
"Oh? How come?" Aria pushed her questions to later since what Kye told her picked her interest.
"Well, before the monsters had invaded Earth, at least from what is written in history books, Humans were about to begin a new war between each other. The old big countries such as USA or Russia were having conflicts, and it was just a matter of time before they destroyed the planet or all living beings on it. They had developed so many deadly weapons that only one button was enough to destroy a country," Kye explained. "And it was at this time that monsters came. And right in times. They destroyed a big portion of Earth, thus making completely new countries with new borders, as well as diminishing the human population by a lot. But at least, all countries allied, and under the powers of their abilities moved together for one and same goal. Though, now a new problem arises."
"Dividing the countries again?"
"No. Earth, even though is the home of everyone is actually mostly under military supervision. The big families that had protected Earth greatly come there only for events and such. They are all on new planets now. So the power of the different old countries got assembled into the military, while the big families expanded their influences on other planets while keeping a fraction of their influence on Earth because no matter what, it's their home planet."
Aria smiled hearing Kye. He was human, at least from her assumptions, but he acted more wisely than a lot of them. And he was still quite young, meaning that he has a bright future ahead of him. "I see your point, and I can't help but agree. Destroying a planet by consuming its resources it's something extremely hard and time-consuming, meaning that what you did was very dangerous. So maybe it was a good thing for monsters to attack Earth."
"Yeah, but nonetheless, new problems arise," Kye pointed out. "Now, the society is ruled by the strong while the weak are seen as trash and better dead than alive. And unfortunately, I was one of them before I became an angel."
"Well, I can't say much since the monster society had already been like that, except for the fact that we always protected our kind, no matter their strength," Aria said making Kye smile apologetically, almost making him want to have grown up in such society, so with monsters. "But anyway, care to explain how you become an angel? Please understand my surprise. I'm millennia old, yet I never saw any human or even monsters ascend to angelhood or demonhood. You're the first.
"Really?" Kye asked with his eyes wide open and Aria nodded. "Well, when my parents died when I was still a child, they left behind a necklace for me to inherit. I didn't think of anything since there was no use for it. But the day before I went into the military, I was tired of my life, so I prayed to God to have a better life. And the next day, I slowly began to change. It was nothing serious at the beginning. Just being more handsome, with smoother skin and hair and more shining eyes. But as time passes, what seems like Heaven asked me to kill someone who had disrespected them. And after killing him while almost dying in the process if not for my friend, I became what is known as a Half-Angel."
"You're what?" Aria asked with surprise in her eyes. Even though Kye's story was surprising, she didn't see any point for him to lie to her now that the tension had lessened, so she believed him. But when he heard Half angel, she was just too shocked since there were no such ranks among angels.
"A half-Angel?"
"I mean, I understand that, but how?"
"I'm not sure either, to be honest. But from my theory, it's probably because I was a human and needed time to adapt and become a real angel. So I guess it's just a question of time before I become a full angel?"
"I guess it's a possibility," Aria thought for a moment about his words before continuing. "You mentioned heavens earlier, what did you mean by that?"
Since Kye, even though trusted Aria didn't want to talk about his system, he made another lie close to the truth. After all, the closer a lie was close to the truth, the more believable it was. "It comes in the form of dreams, or hallucination? Like, it's either when I sleep or wide awake. It's like I know and had to do what it asks me. And of course, if I manage to succeed, then the heavens rewarded me, and if I don't, then a penalty. For example, I received the death penalty once, and it was horrible to think that I could die at any moment."
