New Abilities

"Hahaha, I seem to have caused quite the commotion outside. I felt both guilty and excited. I guess it was my guilty pleasure. I wonder what they would do if they knew a Sequence 4 was behind this."

Inspecting the Chamber of Stars, I noticed a significant change. Once a vast, echoing void dotted with distant, shimmering lights, the chamber had undergone a transformation that was nothing short of breathtaking. The walls, once smooth and featureless, now pulsated with a soft luminescence, resembling the swirling patterns of a nebula. The air was thick with an electric charge, as though the very essence of the cosmos was concentrated within these confines.

The floor, previously an expanse of cold, black stone, was now a mosaic of celestial bodies. Stars, planets, and galaxies intertwined in an intricate dance, each one glowing with its own unique hue. The ceiling mirrored the floor, creating an illusion of infinite space that stretched beyond the physical boundaries of the chamber. In the center, a massive star map hovered in mid-air, its lines and constellations constantly shifting and reconfiguring, as if alive.

I could feel my power coursing through me, a surge of energy that was far beyond what I had known as a Sequence 5. The difference was immense, a chasm between my previous state and this newfound divinity.

As I stood in the transformed Chamber of Stars, I felt the enormity of my new abilities. The power surging within me was overwhelming, yet exhilarating. The journey from Sequence 5 to Sequence 4 had unlocked a realm of possibilities I had never imagined. Each pathway, with its unique powers, expanded my influence over the universe in profound ways.

As I contemplate my new power, suddenly system echoed again, 

[As a Sequence 4 Beyonder, you can choose to release one of the two remaining angel in the sky:

1.Azrael ( Sequence 2 Fallen Angel-Nebula Pathway)

2.Angela(Sequence 2 Secretive Plotter-Changing Star Pathway)

Please choose one of the two above]

I was a bit in pickle of the choice, so I ask Igris and Uriel "Which I want I should release first?"

Igris, with his stoic demeanor, glanced at Uriel, his expression unyielding as granite. "Azrael," he stated firmly, his voice resonating with unwavering certainty.

Uriel, ever the enigmatic one, tilted her head slightly, her eyes gleaming with a mischievous glint. "Angela," she countered, her tone carrying a hint of amusement.

The tension in the air crackled as they locked eyes, each steadfast in their recommendation. Igris, the stalwart guardian, known for his loyalty and straightforwardness, stood his ground. Uriel, the cunning strategist, with a penchant for intrigue and hidden motives, met Igris's gaze with a smirk.

"You know Angela's subtlety will serve our purposes best," Uriel argued, a faint chuckle escaping her lips, her voice a steady rumble.

"But Azrael's raw power could be precisely what we need," Igris shot back, his voice a steady rumble.

Their banter continued in a clash of opinions, the air thick with their conflicting energies. Igris, unmoved by Uriel's teasing, remained resolute. They both have an opinion of their own.

As I stood there, caught between the unwavering certainty of Igris and the playful cunning of Uriel, I weighed the implications of each choice.

Azrael, the Fallen Angel, belonged to the Nebula Pathway, a sequence of power rooted in celestial might and the darker aspects of the cosmos. His raw power could indeed turn the tide in any direct confrontation, bringing unparalleled strength and destruction.

On the other hand, Angela, the Secretive Plotter of the Changing Star Pathway, promised a different kind of advantage. Her abilities thrived on subtlety, manipulation, and strategy. With her, we could weave intricate plots and navigate the complexities of our enemies with a deft hand, striking when least expected.

I turned my gaze from Igris to Uriel, considering their perspectives and the broader picture of our goals. The decision wasn't just about raw power versus cunning; it was about the kind of influence I wanted to wield in the world.

Alright, I already made a decision in my mind. I will choose Angela. With the attention we will get, there should various authority trying to find us. Angela power can help us conceal ourself more.

"I pick Angela"

With the decision made, the system echoed again, signaling the release of Angela. The air shimmered with anticipation as her form began to manifest, her presence a blend of mystery and power.
