In other words, apart from this, Anima hadn’t done anything else.
This truly puzzled Leisha. She didn’t understand why Anima was acting like this.
Anima hadn’t explained it before.
Until this moment…
“You shouldn’t be puzzled, should you?”
Anima glanced at Leisha. Although her eyes were closed, Leisha felt like she was being seen through.
This made Leisha’s expression tense.
Because she wasn’t sure if she had really been seen through by the goddess before her.
This goddess was the mother of almost all life and had an unparalleled understanding of life.
In this world, if this goddess claimed to be second in understanding a person’s essence, no one would dare to claim first.
Even though Leisha was a demon and not a human created by this goddess, she wasn’t confident she could hide her true self from her.
Of course, Leisha’s lack of confidence couldn’t be hidden from Anima.
Anima seemed to look deeply at her, then looked away.
“If I’m not mistaken, based on my observations these past few days, you should know that human noble who was able to break Lilith’s seal with a single sword strike, right?” Anima said softly. “Then you should know that I chose to stand by because of that young man, right?”
“…Really?” Leisha had indeed considered this possibility, but she wasn’t sure. “Just because of a young human noble, you chose to stand by and do nothing about Lilith?”
If this were heard by someone who didn’t know Shien’s true identity, they definitely wouldn’t understand Anima’s actions.
Unfortunately, Leisha knew Shien’s true identity.
Therefore, she knew that Anima was questioning Shien’s origin.
“I’ve been ‘watching’ him for several days now, and I can finally confirm that his life aura doesn’t belong to this world.”
Anima said.
“Those who possess such a life aura are either Heroes or their descendants.”
Since the descendants of Heroes were also descendants of people from another world, it was understandable that their life aura wouldn’t belong to this world.
However…
“His magic power is very strong, seemingly even surpassing the child favored by the Goddess of Fate. And although his level isn’t high, he possesses such strength, proving that he’s exceptionally talented and even has a very powerful Unique Skill. Such a person, if born in this world, should have been noticed by the Three Goddesses, including myself, and we should have bestowed our blessings upon him.”
Anima muttered to herself.
“But this person appeared out of nowhere. He clearly has a blessing, but that blessing doesn’t belong to any of the Three Goddesses. Yet, it also seems to possess the power of our blessings. It’s quite contradictory and strange.”
Anima had discovered these things.
Besides that, she had also discovered something very important.
“The sword that child used to break Lilith’s seal, if I’m not mistaken, seems to have a Holy Sword Seal Ring that only the God of Forging can create.”
Anima’s tone finally became serious.
And Leisha understood.
She knew that Anima, after several days of observation, had probably discovered Shien’s true identity.
After all, when it came to understanding Heroes, the Three Goddesses were undoubtedly the experts.
Although the Hero Summoning Ritual was created by the Supreme God Omniis, in the past, all Heroes summoned through the ritual were received and blessed by the Three Goddesses. Omniis herself hadn’t participated in any Hero summoning. Most Heroes had never even seen the Supreme God. Only the Hero Mitra had seen Omniis once during the final battle a thousand years ago.
Therefore, the Three Goddesses were the ones who interacted with and understood Heroes the most.
Heroes of all generations were blessed, assisted, and guided by the Three Goddesses. Anima had also guided several Heroes, and as the Goddess of Life, it would be strange if she couldn’t recognize Shien’s identity.
The problem was that Anima knew very well that the Hero Summoning Ritual had been sealed and couldn’t be used again to summon new Heroes.
Even if it were used, the appearance of a Hero couldn’t possibly go unnoticed by them.
Now, a Hero whom no one knew had suddenly appeared. How could Anima not be suspicious and shocked?
It was precisely because of this that Anima held back from intervening and began to observe Shien.
And the more she observed, the more surprised she became.
