LOTTERY (VI)

The golden glow of Bibi Dong's divinity still lingered, a silent testament to her transformation. But as the others processed her newfound power, their attention slowly shifted.

To Qian Renxue.

She stood quietly, her golden eyes reflecting something unreadable—neither envy nor regret, but a quiet acceptance of what she had lost.

"You were a god once too, weren't you?" Rias asked.

Renxue didn't react at first. Then, she exhaled softly. "I was."

Her voice was calm, but there was a weight to it.

"I was the Angel God, the one that was sure to become a Godking in a few centuries. But that power is gone. My divinity was shattered."

Lily frowned. "Shattered? You mean… it was taken from you?"

Renxue shook her head. "No. When a god falls, their divinity either dissipates into nothingness or is stolen by another. In my case… it was completely destroyed. There was nothing left of the Angel God's authority for me to reclaim."

A heavy silence followed. Even Bibi Dong, despite her complicated history with Renxue, said nothing.

Tsunade crossed her arms. "So… what now? You just stay mortal? Or the item you got from unranked lottery, will help you?"

Renxue finally lifted her hand.

A radiant glow formed in her palm, expanding outward until a structure emerged behind her—a throne of celestial gold and silver. Unlike Bibi Dong's karmic presence, this was pure, untarnished light. Ethereal inscriptions danced across its surface, shifting with divine energy.

THE CELESTIAL THRONE OF LIGHT

Everyone could feel it. The presence of something holy, yet different from what Renxue once wielded. This was not the power of the Angel God. This was something new.

Renxue looked at the throne for a moment before speaking. "This artifact… is what I got from unranked-ranked lottery. I did not gain any godhood, but I received this instead—an item of mythical rank. The Celestial Throne of Light."

Suddenly Xuanyu's eyes widened as he looked at the throne "An ultra rank divine artifact!"

Renxue nodded. "Yes its an ultra rank divine artifact, one of the strongest ultra rank artifact. But it is not divinity in itself. It is a conduit for light, a throne that governs over all celestial illumination."

Shisui frowned. "So, you're not regaining your godhood, but you're still… ruling over light?"

Renxue placed her hand on the throne, and golden inscriptions flared to life. Light spread from its core, illuminating the entire chamber, filling every shadow with radiance.

"This throne allows me to wield the power of celestial light, but unlike before, I am not bound to the laws of the Angel God. My authority is no longer dictated by a divine system. Instead, I can shape and command all forms of holy illumination—light that heals, light that destroys, light that reveals truth. In fact this throne will help me create an godhood tablet."

[CELESTIAL THRONE OF LIGHT]

A divine artifact of absolute sovereignty over holy radiance, the Celestial Throne of Light embodies the will of the heavens. Once wielded by the Primordial Archon of Light, it now seeks a new ruler. Its mere presence purges corruption, reshapes the world in its light, and grants the wielder dominion over celestial forces.

Abilities: Active Abilities:-

1. Radiant Dominion – Sovereignty Over Light

Grants complete control over holy light, allowing the wielder to shape it into weapons, shields, cleansing flames, or divine storms. The light burns evil, empowers the just, and repels darkness.

2. Sacred Restoration – Blessing of Renewal

Heals all wounds, ailments, and soul damage, restoring vitality instantly. Can purge curses, dispel corruption, and revitalize the weary, making allies fight beyond their limits.

3. Judgment Ray – Wrath of the Heavens

Fires a beam of pure celestial energy that burns away darkness and falsehood. The more evil a target, the more devastating the attack. Those with innocent souls are unharmed or blessed instead.

4. Celestial Revelation – Truth Unveiled

Illusions, deceptions, and mind-control fail in the wielder's presence. The throne reveals hidden truths, soul purity, and divine secrets, making trickery useless.

5. Ascension of Angels – Creation of the Divine Host

-> The wielder gains the power to create angels, forging celestial beings from pure light.

-> Newly born angels inherit divine attributes and serve as warriors, messengers, or guardians.

-> Fallen or corrupted beings can be purified and reborn as celestial entities if they seek redemption.

-> The more powerful the wielder, the stronger and more numerous the angels they can create.

Passive Abilities:

6. Throne's Authority – Divine Sovereignty

Holy creatures, light-based beings, and divine entities of lower rank instinctively recognize the wielder's dominion. Weaker beings submit, while stronger ones feel compelled to acknowledge their rule.

7. Dawn's Protection – Sanctified Defense

A golden aura constantly surrounds the wielder, negating curses, demonic corruption, and necrotic decay. Unholy creatures feel pain in its presence, and dark magic is severely weakened.

8. Lightborne Presence – Beacon of Divinity

Wherever the wielder stands, shadows retreat, evil trembles, and the land flourishes. Allies are strengthened, morale rises, and foes with dark hearts feel fear and despair.

9. Eternal Radiance – Undying Light

Even if mana or energy is exhausted, the wielder continues to fight, their strength fueled by sheer will and divine power. Their body regenerates stamina, and their soul is immune to spiritual corruption.

Xuanyu studied the throne with interest. "So you control divine light, but you aren't a god?"

Renxue nodded. "I am not a deity. Not anymore. But with this, I can still wield the authority of celestial illumination. Infact over time, this throne will help me condense a godhood tablet. Altough it may take time."

Rias crossed her arms. "So it's different from Bibi Dong's power. She enforces karma itself, while you govern light."

"Exactly." Renxue turned toward Bibi Dong, golden eyes meeting hers. "I do not judge fate as she does. I simply illuminate what must be seen. Light does not choose sides—it only reveals truth."

---------

The meeting concluded with everyone discussing their newly acquired items and their plans moving forward. Conversations about the powers and potential of the artifacts continued briefly, but the weight of the day soon caught up with them.

They enjoyed a hearty dinner together, the atmosphere lighter now that the serious discussions had ended. Once the meal was finished, the group began to disperse, heading to their respective rooms to rest.

In his room Xuanyu sat quietly, the three Fate Cards lay in front of him, their faint glow casting soft light across the room.

Without warning, a soft ripple of energy pulsed through the air. The glow of the cards grew brighter, and in the blink of an eye, they began to dissolve. It was a slow, almost imperceptible process at first. The edges of the cards shimmered and flickered as if they were being consumed by an unseen force. Then, one by one, the cards began to fade, their presence in the room slowly evaporating like mist in the wind.

The two cards, which he is sure would choose Naruto and Sasuke, followed suit. Its light dimmed and vanished in graceful way, leaving behind only the faintest trace of energy.

And then, the third card—the one that had held Xuanyu's attention—began to fade. Its glow brightened for a moment, as if it had one final burst of power to show, before it too disappeared into the air.

The last fate card, that would grant free wish in this world, he wonder who would it choose?
