The moment the crown touched Lazuli’s forehead.

Time seemed to be gently slowed down by an invisible hand for just one frame.

The seemingly ordinary Silver Crown, when placed on Lazuli’s head in that instant.

An ancient imprint that had been dormant for countless years suddenly awakened!

"Buzz——!"

A deep, magnificent resonance sounded directly in the soul of every living being!

Especially those with angelic bloodlines, who could feel a tremor originating from the core of their blood!

And Lazuli’s body suddenly shook!

At this moment.

A vast, warm power flooded through the Silver Crown, surging into her being!

This was the final step she lacked to control this world!

Lazuli’s golden eyes widened instantly.

In her pupils reflected countless rapidly swirling, combining, and disassembling pale gold runes.

These runes were ancient and holy, each corresponding to a natural law of the Angel World.

And Lazuli’s consciousness, carried by this torrent, instantly broke free of physical limitations, soaring infinitely and spreading out!

She saw...

Beneath her feet were no longer the stones of Sancterra Plaza, but the vast lands of the Angel World.

Mountains, rivers, forests, cities...

She saw the residual demonic qi being slowly purified by the Power of Heaven and Earth like a stain.

She saw countless angel citizens at this moment gazing in her direction, eyes filled with devotion.

Meanwhile.

Aster Grant perceived, as Lazuli donned the crown...

An invisible bridge instantly formed between Lazuli and the entire Angel World.

The overwhelming World Power was converging and harmonizing toward Lazuli at unprecedented speed!

"The world is responding to her..."

Aster Grant was astonished in his heart.

This scene was extremely similar to when Veridia gained her succession in the Ghost World, yet it was different.

Veridia received a legacy of World Will.

Whereas Lazuli seemed to be announced as the new sovereign by a still lively, though long-dormant, World Will!

This process lasted about a minute, but felt infinitely long to the crowd.

When Lazuli reopened her eyes again, they were completely different from before.

Deep within her gaze, there seemed to be two miniature starry skies, containing countless light spots in the cycle of birth and decay.

A golden diamond-shaped mark appeared on her forehead as well.

And her aura underwent a qualitative change.

Her previous strength was outwardly projected, sharp with destruction.

But now, her aura became restrained and profound.

Each of her movements seemed synchronized with the rhythm of heaven and earth.

She raised her hand slightly, without using any of her own power.

Just moved by a thought.

"Swish——"

Around the plaza, the flowers, grasses, and trees that had withered in the fires of war.

Sprouted tender green buds at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"A miracle! This is a miracle!"

Countless citizens wept with joy, kneeling on the ground, offering their most devout respect to their new queen.

And Lazuli, amid these pious voices, took complete control of this power.

The places damaged by battle were swiftly restored in her hands.

The entire world’s demonic qi quickly dissipated under Lazuli’s deliberate guidance.

Even the severed arm of the Demon God at this moment completely became nourishment for the world.

The whole world seemed to revert to its state before the invasion of the Demon Clan.

And at this time, Lazuli’s power also began to slowly withdraw.

This meant she wholly accepted this power.

She became the ruler of the entire Angel World...

Its new Master!

At this moment, cheers and worship continued unabated in the plaza.

Yet Lazuli cast her gaze towards Laney beside her.

"Laney."

Laney was taken aback, unsure what directive Lazuli suddenly had for her.

But her sense of identity shifted quickly.

At this moment, she completely transitioned from her previous identity as Monarch.

She stepped forward a few steps, bowed and saluted:

"What orders does Your Majesty have?"

Lazuli observed and spoke frankly:

"I cannot remain here for long."

"I need to follow my master and explore broader worlds."

"The governance and daily operations of the Angel World still need someone responsible."

She looked at Laney, her eyes full of trust:

"You are familiar with administrative affairs! And have proven your courage and duty in times of crisis."

"During my absence, you will act as regent, handling all affairs large and small of the Angel World."

Upon hearing these words, Laney was completely stunned.

She was never someone who covets power.

She handed over the throne without thinking of reclaiming it.

But Lazuli’s words...

Her gaze unintentionally swept to Aster Grant.

Suddenly she felt relieved.

Yes indeed.

If she were Lazuli, she might also make such a choice.

How can a world monarch compare to one’s own master?

Thus, she respectfully bowed.

Laney took a deep breath, stepped back, knelt on one knee, with a hand on her chest, solemnly swore:

"Laney, will faithfully follow Her Majesty’s command!"

Lazuli nodded.

Then she turned, her gaze sweeping over Kieran Sinclair, Aster Grant, Veridia, and Vera.

The Divine Position of the Angel World had been obtained, the main goal of this journey was achieved.

It was also time to depart.

Lazuli also at this juncture looked at Kieran Sinclair, her eyes carrying a trace of inquiry:

"Father, are you returning with us?"

Although Kieran Sinclair hailed from Alternate Space, having spent so long in the Angel World, he had subconsciously already considered himself a part of the Angel World.

Thus, Lazuli needed to confirm Kieran Sinclair’s own thoughts.

Upon hearing Lazuli’s inquiry, Kieran Sinclair’s smile slightly retracted, falling into brief silence.

He had long thought he yearned to return to the world of his birth.

But now that this choice was presented to him, he hesitated.

His gaze swept over this land just catching its breath from the flames of war, and those angels full of hope despite being scarred.

Over the years in the Angel World, especially during the Demon Clan invasion, when he stood up to lead his people in resistance.

Had unknowingly tightly bound his fate to this land.

Subconsciously, he had already considered guardianship here as his mission.

This place had also become his second home, full of effort and difficult to part with.

More importantly, the Seraphim...

Already had Lazuli able to undertake everything of the Seraphim.

His only concern for that world was laid to rest.

As for Lazuli...

She had become the Master of this world, as a father, he should help his daughter protect this world.

Thus, Kieran Sinclair’s gaze roamed over Laney and the others, ultimately making a decision.

His expression became relieved.

"Lazuli, Aster Grant."

"I... will not return with you."

Upon hearing this, Lazuli’s eyes showed a trace of expected clarity.

Aster Grant also nodded slightly, appearing to have anticipated somewhat.

Kieran Sinclair continued, his eyes turned to Aster Grant, with an entrustment:

"Pass a message to Summer Gardner for me, just say..."

"I’ve found new responsibilities in another world, I’m doing well."

"Alright, understood!"

Next, after bidding farewell to the few.

Aster Grant set off on his return journey with a few Beastbonds.
