"What are you guys doing here?" Annie asked warily as she finally realized the purpose of her arrival here. Annie then removed her disguise because Noah knew her identity, so there was no need to hide it anymore.
"First of all, let me introduce myself, I'm Noah Vermilion. Don't worry, we won't harm America, on the contrary, we're here to help you" Noah said sincerely as he felt Annie's wariness.
"Noah Vermilion?, I think I've heard of it... are you the seventh Campione?" Annie muttered before asking Noah as she remembered where she had heard Noah's name.
"What do you mean help me?, I'm not asking for your help" Annie continued.
"I heard that you were hunting a Divine Ancestor, Anshela, I came here for her" Noah said without hiding his purpose.
"How can I be sure that you only came for her, I'll be watching you while you're in America" Annie said not believing Noah.
"Do as you wish, after all I know your desire to protect your territory" Noah said without caring about Annie's supervision, with his power if he wanted to do something bad to America, Annie couldn't stop him. But since as Noah said, he wouldn't cause trouble in America, he didn't have time to play around.
With that Noah continued to search for Anshela's whereabouts seriously.
...
On a remote island hidden among the thick fog and countless ocean waves This island had no name known to the outside world, and only a few knew of its existence. With her brown hair gleaming in the moonlight, a girl who appeared to be ten years old stood tall in the middle of an ancient magic circle that had been carefully drawn on the ground moistened by the night dew, this girl was Anshela, the divine Ancestor that Noah was looking for, she was currently performing a ritual to make herself the demon Leviathan. She chose this remote island because it was far from the American mainland to avoid being disturbed by Pluto who had been hunting her.
In the tense atmosphere, a group of people in black robes surrounded Anshela, each holding a torch that was burning with blue flames. They chanted an ancient, echoing incantation in a language that no ordinary person could understand. Their voices merged into one, creating a melody that stirred fear and awe. In their hearts, they knew that this ritual was no mere game; it was a step toward power that could summon darkness from the depths of the ocean.
As the ancient incantation reached its climax, the magic circle beneath Anshela's feet began to vibrate. A dazzling silver light emerged, enveloping her in a brilliant glow. In an instant, all sound ceased. All eyes were fixed on the radiating light, and fear enveloped the mages.
The light grew brighter, and as it peaked, Anshela felt an incredible power flow through her. The energy filled every corner of her body, inspiring a confidence she had never felt before. In an instant, her figure disappeared from sight, and all that remained was the radiating silver light.
As the light faded, where she had stood, a giant silver snake emerged. It was hundreds of meters long, and its body glistened in the moonlight. The snake was the manifestation of Leviathan, a mythical creature that was both feared and revered. The mages fell silent, awestruck by the magnificent sight before them. They never imagined that this ritual would work so perfectly.
Leviathan opened its eyes—eyes that shone with a deep blue color, reflecting the infinite depths of the ocean. it looked around and realized that the witches were still silent, mesmerized by its presence.
.....
With a gentle breeze, Noah and Athena floated closer to the remote island shrouded in thick fog, where Anshela was. Annie followed behind them in her divine bird form. On the way, they felt a strong divine power from the island, Noah and Athena were sure that the power came from Anshela because they felt the authority related to the sea and snakes.
As they got closer, the fog began to part little by little, revealing a stunning view. Tall trees towered, surrounded by a sparkling blue ocean, as if beckoning them to come closer.
"This power has the aura of a divine ancestor" Athena said as she stared at the island in front of them, her voice soft but full of conviction because she felt the aura of snakes from the power.
"This divine power probably belongs to Anshela." Noah nodded as he felt the authority related to the sea from the divine power. As the god of the sea, Noah could of course recognize the authority of the sea that resided in the divine power.
When they finally landed on the island's land, the mist slowly cleared, revealing an incomparable natural beauty. The sound of waves crashing against the rocks and the scent of sea salt seemed to welcome their arrival.
At the same time that Noah and the others felt Anshela's presence, on the other hand Anshela also felt the presence of Noah and the others, but what confused Anshela was why a Campione and a heretic god appeared together without any fight. It was common knowledge in the magical world that Campiones and heretic gods were natural enemies who would fight when they met.
While Anshela was still thinking about it, Noah and Athena appeared in front of her in an instant. Anshela's sea blue eyes, who was currently in Leviathan form, looked at Noah and Athena before turning her gaze to Annie who came later. In those eyes there was anger and annoyance, all this time Anshela was hunted by Pluto and of course would harbor hatred, the first target after gaining Leviathan's power was to take revenge on Pluto.
The presence of Noah and the others immediately made the members of the king of fly tremble in fear. Seeing the members of the king of fly, Noah immediately made them faint with the pressure of terrible divine power.
Anshela didn't pay attention to the members of the King of Fly because they were no longer useful and she had to worry about herself when facing two Campiones and a heretic god.
As Anshela watched them, Noah also observed the giant silver snake in front of him, although Anshela did not regain her divinity as the Mother Earth Goddess, but she in Leviathan form was no weaker than other Mother Earth Goddesses.
"Goddess Athena, why are you with a Campione?, he is our enemy" Anshela asked Athena as she turned her gaze to Athena.
Athena stood tall, with an aura of wisdom radiating from her. "Anshela, I understand your anger. However, Noah is different from other Campiones, besides, only he can help us defeat the strongest steel."
"Noah? ," Anshela said curiously as she watched Noah closely, only then did she feel Noah's strange presence.
"He...?! How could a Campione become a god...!" Anshela said in surprise when she found out that the strange presence she felt earlier was Noah, she was sure that Noah was a Campione, but what confused her was why a Campione could also be a god.
"Goddess Athena, since you believe in him so much, then I will help, hopefully it is as you say" Anshela said after careful consideration. she didn't believe Athena as the supreme earth mother goddess and queen in the past would hurt her who was also the previous earth mother goddess and she was sure that Athena as the goddess of wisdom would not make the wrong choice.
Along with a silver light, Leviathan immediately transformed back into Anshela's human form.
Annie who had been following them and watching carefully was surprised because she did not expect Anshela who had always been known to be cruel and cunning would be so easily persuaded.
'maybe this has something to do with Athena as a fellow heretic god' Annie thought.
"Since our business is finished, then we will go first, see you later Annie Charlton" Noah said as he disappeared with Athena and Anshela.
"Wait...." Annie said as she watched them leave. There were still many things she wanted to ask Noah.
