Seeking True Freedom

Vincent's question hung in the air like an invisible chain, wrapping around Saintess Agnes' neck. 

'What should I do? Do I fight or retreat?' Her mind raced, considering the best course of action to take.

She knew that any decision she made would have far-reaching consequences, and the possibility of facing an old god was something she doesn't dare to imagine.

The old gods from the past were only hunted down primarily due to the assistance of the true angels. 

However, with the world fate suppressing everything , the existence of true angels was no longer necessary, and they were unable to come to Earth anymore. This explained why the Vatican could only rely on Artificial Angels as a substitute..

As a consequence of this suppression, the overall combat power of the supernatural beings of this era had declined.
