Streams of mories started flooding the hidden dinsion of the Tower of Babel. Adrian could clearly see the start of Pristina's mories as soon as she beca the Pope of the Church of Light. She was able to possess the body of a female human that was a brunette but the body changes to host the soul. Any body that Pristina possessed had beco a beautiful blonde maiden with amber colored eyes.
Unlike what people have thought, she did not force herself to beco the Pope of the Church of Light. She would possess a different body every ti the mortal one expires as she does not have a completely compatible body found at the ti. She worked as a nun, a warrior, or a priest depending on her need for information.
When she finally knew all the things that she needed to know of the newly ford mortal realm, she finally found her perfect vessel. A saintess of the Church of Light was born which made her want the body of the budding saintess. She managed to completely possess the body of the saintess and felt different compared to the bodies that she has inhabited before.
She perfectly fused with the body of the budding saintess and absorbed the real soul of the owner of the body. She also beca able to control the aging of her mortal body due to the perfect assimilation that they had perford. As soon as the perfect vessel was secured, Pristina aid to beco the Pope of the Church of Light.
She had many rivals when becoming the Pope of the Church of Light, but she was the one that reached the top due to her saintess body. She was the most powerful of all the Pope Candidates as she was also able to manifest the silhouette of the Goddess of Light Luminaria. What the normal humans of the Church of Light do not know is that it was all a plan by their goddess and the angels to take control of the church.
All the highest authorities were angels that have possessed their perfect human vessels. They preached that the Goddess of Light Luminaria only grants eternal youth to those that she loves the most. This made all the angels beco the real power of the Church of Light and initiated the plans for the Goddess Luminaria to descend.
When the Church of Light was first established, the church itself was only small and it was only until Pristina beca pope that the expansion happened. The world needed a major enemy and the Church of Light made that being appear. Pristina was seen talking to the head of the Followers of the Dark Gods to create chaos.
The deal that they made is that the Followers of the Dark Gods will be given free reign, but they must terrorize the citizen. They must also flee upon the sight of the banner of the Church of Light. Pristina made a deal for them to do this only ten tis. The Followers of the Dark Gods would then take so humans or any demihumans for sacrifice to their gods.
"Humans are off the table. We need them to worship our goddess. You can take any demihuman as we have no use for those that worship more than one goddess." Pristina stated to which the Followers of the Dark Gods agreed.
The plan of Pristina beca an instant win for the Church of Light. The humans were flocking at them in droves as the terror that the Followers of the Dark Gods has reached even small towns. The demihumans retreated even further from human civilization as a result because the vast number of disappearances were from them. There were so human abductions from the Followers of the Dark Gods back then, but Pristina knew that they cannot fully control hooligans.
Pristina would ignite their deal with the Followers of the Dark Gods every five or ten years so that humans will never forget. One thing that she learned when she was possessing humans is that they can forget terror if it is not repeated. It is also why there is a human saying that 'History tends to repeat itself' as it serves as a warning to be vigilant of the problems of the past.
The faith of the Church of Light grew exponentially as it beca the major religion in the central continent. There were other major religions, but the Church of Light beca the strongest which made the Goddess of Light Luminaria praise Pristina for her devotion. When the Church of Light reached its pinnacle, the true plan of the Goddess Luminaria started.
The first part of their plan was to poison the World Tree that the elves protected. The Tree of Death was already destroyed by the angels back then before their sealing which is why the Tree of Life remained. The Tree of Life or the World Tree supported the world barrier as a firm pillar which ant that the world barrier will not be easily destroyed as long as the World Tree stands.
The poisoning of the World Tree was easier than Pristina thought as she just employed the services of the Followers of the Dark Gods. The elves that ford the Elders of the Church of Life were also fighting to beco the pope. The divide within the Church of Life made the destruction of the World Tree very easy.
As soon as the World Tree was destroyed, Pristina moved on to the next phase of the plan. She was given aid by a mysterious being that has been in talks with the Goddess Luminaria. The mysterious being looked familiar to Adrian as this was the form that the God Loki used when he was in the mortal realm. Adrian was shocked that the God Loki back then had already descended as a demigod.
The God Loki created havoc by making the Followers of the Dark Gods succeed in partially summoning their gods. The activities of the God Loki were fully backed by the Church of Light in the shadows. When the dark god is partially summoned, the Church of Light will be there to quell it which also boosted the faith of humanity towards them.
The Followers of the Dark Gods did not know that they were being used. Even if the dark god is partially summoned, the summoning destroys parts of the world barrier. The destruction of the World Barrier also made the Daemos move to close the unexpected rifts that open. This made sure that the Daemos are busy and that they cannot pay attention to what the Church of Light have been plotting.
Everything fell into place as Pristina had wished but there were two beings that greatly interfered with her. One is Equinox that beca the Champion of the Twin Gods and a Daemos. The other was the ergence of Eldritch as the followers of the dark gods beca much more difficult to control upon his arrival.
When Eldritch arrived, the partial summoning's of dark gods have suddenly beco full summoning. Due to the full summoning, a lot of clergies from the Church of Light died which she does not want as that would be a waste on their resources. Pristina could no longer destroy the summoning of dark gods with just the Church of Light which is why she also employed the help of the other churches. She also employed the adventurers that suddenly started to pop up as they were able to revive due to the blessings of the gods of life and death.
Eldritch' presence made the stakes higher, but it also imnsely helped in weakening the world barrier. Still, it was not ti for the goddess to descend with just that. The revival of the chosen Nephilim was the signal that they were waiting for as a prophecy of the revival was already given back then. It was a prophecy against the angels and the gods of light, but the Goddess Luminaria did not believe that she will ever lose.
As soon as the chosen Nephilim appeared, the last phase comnced and the start of that would be the gods of light destroying the world barrier themselves with the aid of the Aesir gods. The destruction was earlier than anticipated as the Vanir gods suddenly betrayed the Aesir gods, but it was welcod. The Silver City has also prepared the goddess descent magic circle which would sacrifice all the treasures in the Tower of Babel.
Adrian saw everything that he needed to see in the hidden dinsion and made sure to make a copy of all the events in a mory crystal. Only a fool would not create a copy as no one would believe the words of a demon easily without solid proof which he had learned the hard way. Pristina could be seen laughing hysterically as she believed that Adrian is too late.
"You are too late to stop it. Centuries of planning has started to beco fruitful. The Goddess Luminaria shall descend and rule over all living beings!" Pristina stated pitifully as she has no more energy left in her voice.
