Author’s Note:
The events of this chapter are something that happens around the same time that Hinata underwent her Awakening Ceremony being saved by Zenos.
Recall that the Demon Goddess of Death, Kalistos made an arrow using the Hero Soul shard and the various control curses imposed on Hinata’s Soul.
The arrow shot through space at that moment, you found out where that arrow went in that chapter.

Pov Andreia’s (Executor of Light):
Today is a day of great honor for me, I am in the Realm of the Perpetual Sun, a separate space containing the Floating Island that serves as the sacred land for the Church of Light, the holiest place that contains the power of the Great Baldr for having been created to protect and guide those who fight for the purification of all the evils of the world.
I had the honor of having spent a few years in this place being educated by the best teachers and guided along the path that I walk today with great pride.
I am here to deliver the seal of the Heretic God who was defeated a short time ago by our strategy, in addition, I was also nominated to receive a stronger blessing that the Supreme Priest of Light will personally grant me.
I was brought in a Floating Ship to get to the island, normally I could come flying that distance with my wings, but one of the protection measures prohibits flying there, only the correct Floating Ships can fly in that space.
Seeing the big magnificent island from above always fills me with emotion, a place as pure and bright as this is the reason I’m fighting, for the whole world to be like this one day.
No more unnecessary death, no more disease, no more crime, no more hunger, and no more darkness.
That’s why the Inquisitors fight like the spearhead throwing themselves into fights in the worst places there are, so we are willing to sacrifice anything, to bring salvation to our corrupt world.
“Lady Inquisitor, we’ll be there in seconds.”
“Thanks, I’ll be right down.” (I)
I head downstairs and arrive in time to see the door open, then a light comes on like a path between the Floating Ship and the dock where it is parked.
I walk the light path until I reach the dock where I am approached by one of the security personnel, I follow the protocols showing my identification and the reason for my presence.
“Sorry for the inconvenience, Enforcer of Light.”
“Fine, you’re just doing your job, keep it up.” (I)
I say goodbye to the officer and walk back along the dock towards the Hall of Light, the island is as big as an Empire, but the biggest building here is the Hall of Light which is over fifty floors high, it has three Towers with two being the same size and the middle one being slightly larger with a sphere of white fire glowing to light up the entire island.
The Hall of Light looks like a magnificent Palace whose sole purpose is to show our absolute worship of our great God.
I pass through the gardens full of beautiful glowing plants taking a golden path to the doors of the Palace where a High Priest awaits me, he takes me along a side path to a teleportation circle which he activates.
Soon I appear elsewhere, but I keep following this High Priest for a little longer until I reach a room full of sculptures that belong to the Great Heroes who fought for the good of the world.
In addition to the statues, there were also paintings, plants, and a grand throne in the middle where the High Priest was seated, the High Priest wears splendid clothes showing his grandeur, clothes covered in magical jewels, rare fabrics sewn with intricate patterns and full of powerful defenses.
He dresses in white and gold, he wears a veil over his face to hide his face, being someone so important he is constantly crowded, even his appearance is something few have the right to know.
In addition to the great High Priest seated on his white throne, there was a knight in full white armor who possessed golden wings, he had a silver sword at his waist, and the only visible thing about his appearance was his deep blue eyes.
“I am touched by the great honor of being in your presence, High Priest.” (I)
“My name is Andreia, I am the leader of the Inquisitors.” (I)
I walk forward a little and get on my knees with my head bowed in a sign of my absolute respect as I speak without looking directly at him and without permission.
“Welcome Inquisitor Adriana, I heard of her deeds in defeating one of these Evil Gods.” (High Priest)
“Raise your head with pride to receive the gift of the Great God Baldr.” (High Priest)
“That’s my honor.” (I)
The High Priest waves his hand and I feel the light envelop me and pure energy enter my body seeming to come from the environment itself.
Ding!

I could feel the sacred energy inside me, before it was something I had to be given by my God, every time I used I had to pray to recover while I received it from my God, but now I could feel that this energy was part of me as much as my mana.
I could feel a great power coursing through my body, I never felt so good in my entire life.
“You have some words to say to her, I know her words are something she will take with her from now on.” (High Priest)
“You honor our family, my daughter, may your sword be a demonstration of your servitude to God…” (Father)
BOOOOOMMMMM!
Just as my father who was the fully clothed warrior in his armor that is my father was speaking, a giant explosion seems to happen and everything starts to shake, at a glance I could see an energy coming in this direction through the grate window, but before I could discovering what it was already too late was so fast and powerful that it broke through the defenses around it.
Soon pieces of the roof began to fall off before he could understand what was happening.
