Shaya showed great trust in Angel, providing detailed answers to every question Angel asked.
However, while Shaya’s intelligence had increased, she still struggled with complex vocabulary.
Therefore, even though Shaya answered Angel’s questions thoroughly, Angel had to half-guess and half-speculate to piece together the general idea of the so-called "Light."
The whole story began when Angel left Nightmare Abyss City.
At that time, Angel met Sanders on the top level of the Hanging Jail Stairway, and after obtaining the "Singularity Scattering Meditation Method," they prepared to leave the Nightmare Realm.
However, just as Angel was returning to reality, the Queen appeared.
Her presence was so overwhelming that it destroyed the Hanging Jail Stairway, almost catching Angel’s ankle.
Yet, Angel was lucky enough to narrowly escape the clutches of the Queen.
Although Angel returned safely, the impact of this event was far-reaching.
For instance, Angel actually visited the Nightmare Realm very infrequently because the Queen seemed able to track his presence. Facing the potential threat from her, even Sanders advised Angel against going to the Nightmare Realm.
And this was just the impact in reality.
In the Nightmare Realm, the Queen’s tour created a huge impact as well.
Her influence directly collapsed the Hanging Jail Stairway, causing the underground aqueduct of Naraku City to constantly shake and collapse.
And that mysterious wall also showed a slight crack due to the "earthquake" in the underground aqueduct.
This crack led to the release of something.
And this something was what Shaya referred to as "Light."
Shaya’s description of Light is very contradictory. First, she talks about its radiant glow, then mentions it naming itself. This left Angel uncertain whether "Light" was a living being or just a light.
What is certain is when the Light overflowed from behind the wall and touched the Maneater Flowers.
All the Maneater Flowers exhibited a certain improvement in intelligence, with Shaya experiencing the greatest enhancement, completely transforming.
Moreover, when the Light shone on Shaya, she received a revelation.
This revelation included her new name: Shaya.
Shaya’s explanation concluded here.
As for what happened to the "Light" afterward, Shaya couldn’t say. After receiving the revelation, she fell into a coma, and when she woke up, the Light was gone, and the crack in the wall had resealed, as if it had never existed.
Shaya was not curious about this, so she was completely unaware of subsequent developments.
However, Shaya’s coma upon receiving the revelation was not merely a simple coma.
According to Shaya, when she awoke, her perceptible range expanded significantly, allowing her to capture more information from the air.
In Angel’s words, Shaya had evolved, her intelligence and strength increasing while also acquiring new abilities.
Angel asked Shaya what abilities she had gained, but Shaya couldn’t specify, merely stating she was stronger than before.
Angel intended to inquire about Shaya’s previous abilities, but ultimately he reconsidered.
Just explaining the "Light" took a very long time. Every sentence was painstakingly broken down before Angel could grasp Shaya’s meaning.
If Shaya were to provide a more detailed narration, who knows how long it would take. While Angel was intensely curious about the so-called "Light," he didn’t have much time for detailed questioning.
Angel decided to first address the most pressing matter at hand—
To inquire about the Infant Spirits and Maneater Flowers, as well as to discuss clearing the path.
Upon hearing Angel’s question, Shaya fell into thought for the first time, though it lasted less than half a second before she nodded: "Alright, I will tell them to clear the way for Lady Sha Wa."
Shortly afterward, Shaya muttered something, then several seconds later, she said to Angel: "I’ve made it clear; they didn’t dare stop Lady Sha Wa anyway."
Normally, Angel could leave now.
But he was intrigued by Shaya’s "half-second thought." What important thing could she be pondering in front of him?
Additionally, Angel didn’t know the specific situation of the Infant Spirits and Maneater Flowers, so he planned to ask further questions.
Perhaps because the questions concerned the Maneater Flowers, Shaya’s answers didn’t require lengthy translations of difficult vocabulary, and Angel quickly understood the specifics.
The red Maneater Flower outside was actually Shaya.
To be precise, it was her avatar bearing Shaya’s will, descending into the present world.
Based on Shaya’s storytelling, Angel could confirm that this avatar shared similarities and differences with the Black Earl’s avatar.
The similarity was that Shaya’s will wasn’t linked to her true body; it would only return to the Nightmare Realm and reintegrate with her body if the external Maneater Flower perished.
Just like how the Black Earl’s main body didn’t know what the avatar was doing, only receiving the memories brought back when the avatar dissipated.
The difference was that the Black Earl’s avatar originated from his own body, being separated from his organs and flesh.
However, Shaya’s avatar didn’t use her own body, but utilized other Maneater Flowers, merely hosting her will within them. Meanwhile, those external Maneater Flowers had their own independent wills. This was why earlier, when Angel hoped the Infant Spirits would clear the way, Shaya had to notify both the Infant Spirits and Maneater Flowers, since the external Maneater Flowers had independent will.
Under normal circumstances, the external Maneater Flowers would act according to their will, while Shaya would remain dormant. Only in special situations would Shaya emerge.
Now, Lady Sha Wa’s appearance was seen by Shaya as a special circumstance requiring her personal attention.
As for the Infant Spirits, they too originated from the Nightmare Realm but were tamed by Shaya and entered into a symbiotic state with her avatar.
The reason for choosing this particular Infant Spirit for symbiosis was its unique ability to create unlimited weaving nets using the silk bandage on its forehead.
