Chapter 53. The Appearance of the Guardian Angel and... Doll Gwen?

When the light faded, faint holy chants could be heard echoing from the void, as if welcoming the descent of a Guardian Angel onto the earth.

Before Noah appeared a sword emitting a divine glow.

At the base of the hilt was a clear blue gemstone, flanked on both sides by pairs of pure white wings, as though an angel was guarding it. The blade was engraved with mysterious patterns, giving it a sacred and solemn appearance.

The Guardian Angel hovered quietly in the air, its wings barely moving, radiating a tranquil and pure light.

"This sword looks incredible. It really does feel like it's guarded by an angel," Noah remarked as he reached out to touch the sword's wings.

The wings were soft and light, with a tender, silky texture. Touching them, he felt the warmth and protection of an angel.

"It feels as though these are real angel wings."

After savoring the touch, he took hold of the angelic sword, feeling the holy power coursing through its blade. Suddenly, he was enveloped in a powerful light.

Outside, from his room, a golden pillar of light shot up into the sky. It wasn't obstructed by the building's walls and seemed surreal. Around the pillar, shadows of two pairs of angel wings appeared, folding first and then gradually spreading open.

"Oh gods, what is this?" Many Asgardians, seeing this spectacle, began discussing the occurrence with amazement.

However, since Asgard had been at peace recently, they didn't perceive it as a threat but rather as another miracle created by someone of high rank.

The spirit of Odin appeared on the balcony of his quarters, observing the manifestation of the Guardian Angel.

"Another powerful artifact. Mysterious man from Midgard, who truly stands behind you?" Odin pondered.

In Noah's room, the light gradually faded, the pillar of light dissipating, while the two pairs of wings transformed into golden sparks that gently fell to the ground.

"So, I'm now bound to it? Do I have two lives now?" Noah sensed that, at the moment he took hold of the sword, a bond was formed between him and the Guardian Angel. Now, if he perished, the Guardian Angel would bring him back to life.

"I wonder how long its revival time is? Hopefully, it's not just a one-time thing," he thought, uncertain of how long it took for the Guardian Angel to recharge and not keen to experiment to find out.

After thoroughly reviewing the resurrection information about the Guardian Angel, he raised the sword and observed it closely. The sword, of course, didn't just have the ability to resurrect.

Noah raised the Guardian Angel high, and his magical energy began to flow into the sword. Immediately, the blade's glow once again filled the entire room.

"Blinding! This sword can convert my magic into holy power. But what good does that do? Extra damage against the undead?" Noah ceased channeling his magic, and the light dimmed, as he pondered the possibilities of the holy light.

"Light against darkness. Maybe it would be effective against beings like Dormammu from the Dark Dimension?" Noah considered that perhaps this light might be useful in the future if he were to encounter Dormammu.

"What's going on here? Oh, Noah, are you here? Was that light your doing?" a familiar voice called out.

At that moment, Thor's voice echoed from the corridor. Apparently, he had come to investigate the source of the recent pillar of light.

After all, the last time his coronation ceremony was interrupted, it was due to the appearance of Frost Giants in Asgard. So now, he was particularly sensitive to any strange occurrences in Asgard, fearing that creatures like the Light Elves might appear again.

Therefore, Thor arrived on the scene faster than Asgard's patrol teams.

When the Asgardian warriors finally reached the place, Thor waved them off to return to their duties, as he had already found the cause of the incident.

"Yes, that was me experimenting with my weapon. I hope I didn't cause any inconvenience?" Noah held the Guardian Angel, whose wings flapped lightly.

"Of course not. I just thought that Asgard was under attack again. But Noah, you have so many artifacts—unlike me, who has only one. Oh, Mjolnir, of course, I'm not complaining about you, don't be upset," Thor said as he looked at Noah's sword, realizing it was yet another powerful artifact. But his hammer, hanging at his waist, began to tremble as if expressing its discontent.

Thor had to spend a moment calming Mjolnir down before he exhaled with relief and gave Noah an awkward smile.

"My Mjolnir gets jealous because we have such a strong bond. By the way, the banquet will begin soon, Noah, you should come. I'm off to gather Jane and her friends. I promised to show her the Rainbow Bridge and Asgard."

Upon his return, Thor had already met with his father and mother. His father was still resting, and his mother was worried about his life on Earth. He told his mother that he had made good friends on Earth and named them to Frigga.

Listening to her son, Frigga smiled. She knew her son well and noticed that when he mentioned Jane, his tone was special. So she asked him to bring his Earth friends to the banquet, as she wanted to meet the girl who had first touched her son's heart.

"All right, go ahead; I'll be there soon," Noah nodded. He still had a chest and a hero engine he wanted to open before the banquet.

Thor left, swinging his hammer, and headed to Heimdall, while Noah returned to the summoning screen. He looked at the remaining chest after ten consecutive summons, stretched out his hand, and opened it.

The chest shook slightly, and blue light seeped through its cracks. When the chest opened, two light spheres emerged—one blue, the other white. Noah quickly touched each of them.

[Received 3000 Essence]

[Received Blessed Seamstress, Gwen]

From the white sphere, as usual, he received Essence—3000 units this time, recovering half of the Essence spent on the summons. But the blue sphere...

"A doll Gwen?" He looked at the blue sphere, from which an item emerged, and a look of puzzlement appeared on his face.

He reached out and caught the doll hovering in the air.

Holding the Gwen doll in his hands, Noah examined it closely, trying to understand its uniqueness. The doll had blue curly hair, tied in two pigtails with bows, wearing a white and purple dress with a large bow on her chest, to which was attached a metal insignia he didn't recognize. Her face bore a sweet smile.

"Hmm... cute, but I don't see anything special about her. Could the system really give me toys?" He closely inspected the doll but found nothing unusual.

"Maybe try using magic?"

Noah tried channeling magical energy into the doll. And indeed, as the first wave of magic entered the doll, it started behaving strangely, drawing more and more energy from him.

When the level of magical energy in his body dropped to half, the doll finally stopped absorbing and began to rise into the air.

The doll floated, swaying from side to side and glowing blue. A blue mist began to form around her. Noah's eyes widened as he anticipated what would happen next.

"Aah!"

Suddenly, there was a high-pitched girl's cry. Before his eyes, Doll Gwen unexpectedly transformed into a girl.

Realizing that she had transformed into a person while airborne, Gwen panicked and shrieked. As she felt herself starting to fall, she was suddenly caught—held in warm arms.

Noah held the girl in a princess-carry position, staring at her, stunned by her beauty. Her lovely face had long, slightly curved eyelashes, and her eyes, as clear as lake water, were blue. In her left eye, her pupil had a button-like shape. Her slender, elegant body was clad in an outfit resembling an enlarged copy of the doll's dress.

Still in shock, Noah looked at the beautiful girl he had just caught. Reflexively, he had reached out to catch her, and now he felt the softness of her body. His right hand touched her silky stockings, and blushing, he quickly set Gwen down, feeling flustered.

Yes, before him stood Gwen, the Blessed Seamstress from League of Legends. When Noah infused the Gwen doll with magical energy, she transformed from a doll into a human.

"Gwen?" Noah still couldn't believe his eyes and asked, still in disbelief.

After all, he didn't know that the system could summon heroes in their physical form. Previously, he had only received the powers of heroes, which integrated into his own body, and the only physical item he had was Ezreal's gloves. But now, standing before him was the real Gwen from League of Legends, his beloved little darling.

"Yes, Summoner. It is I, Gwen," Gwen replied with a smile.
