"I wish to ask you... about the contract."
Cang Yue hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Having to ask someone for help really was unpleasant.
But there was nothing she could do about it.
"The contents of the contract are true. There is no doubt about that."
Anos Kanzaki spoke with a smile.
The contract's contents referred to the formal contract set during the summoning.
The temporary contract referred to the one that had summoned her here.
Cang Yue had to obey Anos's orders within a range she could accept, and Anos possessed three absolute command rights over her.
What Cang Yue could obtain was the convenience of being able to move freely in this world, as well as the spiritual power provided by Anos.
The temporary contract was the foundation of the formal contract.
And now, what she needed to sign was the formal contract.
Heroic spirits did not casually respond to someone's summons. There had to be a corresponding holy relic.
Not all heroic spirits possessed noble character, so Command Spells were needed as restraints.
Of course, heroic spirits of the Christian faith such as Jeanne were exceptions.
Even without Command Spells, and even without forming any contract with Anos, she was willing to do anything for him.
Cang Yue, however, was not some saint. She had her own goal, her own wish she wanted to fulfill, and the things she wanted to protect.
That was exactly why...
She had responded to this seemingly fantastical summons.
After all, if the summoner was a god, then being able to accomplish things that seemed possible only for a god was quite normal, right?
At this moment, after hearing Anos say that her wish could definitely be fulfilled, she became too emotional for an instant and released a breath of frost.
"As long as those who have passed away can be brought back, nothing else is a problem."
Cang Yue gave her answer.
"To be honest, I do not really like the way you speak like that."
Anos looked at the forceful Ice Queen.
Although being a masochist did seem somewhat interesting, that was at most a matter of taste, not a proper way to get along.
Snap!
Anos snapped his fingers.
"What do you mean?"
Cang Yue frowned.
What did this person mean?
No.
What did this god mean?
Very quickly, she understood Anos's meaning.
Because she sensed the alcohol within her body disappearing.
She relied on the Kiss of Dionysus on her hand to continuously keep herself in a state similar to drunkenness, allowing her to maintain the Ice Queen form.
There was only one result when the alcohol disappeared.
She returned to her childlike form.
"Mm... This looks much easier on the eyes."
A few seconds later, Anos looked at little Cang Yue before him and smiled.
She had officially changed jobs from Ice Queen to tiny healer. Congratulations.
Cough, cough!
Cang Yue did not possess the Seventh Sense that controlled ice. Instead, she possessed powerful healing ability.
Extreme Healing Energy Wave.
The remnants of ultimate healing arts. This energy could treat any internal injury.
As long as the target was not dead, it could completely heal them.
It could even remove K's demon poison, but this energy wave could not bring the dead back to life.
This was also the reason Cang Yue had responded to the summons.
"You do not need to ask why I made you like this. I simply think you can express your meaning better this way."
Anos spoke with a smile.
No matter which version of Cang Yue it was, there was no doubt that she was gentle and lively.
The only difference was whether those qualities were hidden away or displayed openly.
"Mm."
Little Cang Yue puffed up her cheeks slightly, looking very dissatisfied.
"Just as the contract states, lives that have passed away can indeed return. However... you should know what the price is, correct?"
Anos resisted the urge to poke her puffed-up cheeks flat in one go and spoke.
Perhaps it was a habit he had developed from Hestia.
Whenever he saw someone puffing up their cheeks, he wanted to poke them.
"A contract is equal between both parties. As long as a miracle can be achieved, everything is worth it."
That was Cang Yue's conviction.
Whether it was the Ice Queen or little Cang Yue, both held the same belief.
...
The process of signing the contract went very smoothly.
In any case, Anos himself did not feel much.
To him, this was merely using a little of the Ark red sphere's power.
That was all.
He had practically obtained an Ice Queen for free. Why would he not be happy?
"This place is..."
Cang Yue looked at the scene before her. Even while in the Ice Queen state, she could not help revealing a surprised expression.
So...
Heaven truly existed?
"Of course it exists. Your world also has similar places. You simply do not know about them. When the time comes, we only need to collect the souls back."
As Anos spoke, golden light began flickering around his body like a lamp being switched on.
He truly did not like the feeling of covering his face with a layer of holy light, but there was nothing he could do about it. Since he had begun the act, he had to play it properly.
The previous Biblical God had done the same thing.
"Lord Holy Son, everything that needed to be prepared has been prepared."
An angel with a golden halo above his head walked over from the side.
It was the Seraph Michael.
Michael did not comment on the Ice Queen beside Anos. That was not something he had the right to interfere with.
What he needed to manage...
Was Heaven.
Although control was in the hands of the Lord Holy Son, the Lord Holy Son had also entrusted him with the responsibility of managing Heaven.
"Mm. Then let us set off."
Anos nodded.
What he was about to do was rebuild the reincarnation pool.
After losing the support of the Biblical God's power, no new angels had been reincarnated again.
Without Anos, perhaps the angels would have asked the devils for their reincarnation technology and used it to reincarnate angels.
But since they had the genuine version, who would still want a pirated copy?
Making a pirated version in front of their own god would simply be courting death.
"By the way, if all of you want to reincarnate, that is also possible. After reincarnation, you will definitely become stronger than before. The only issue is that the efficiency is not very high."
Anos reminded him.
"Eh? We can do it too?"
Michael asked with slight embarrassment.
To be honest, he had been a little worried before.
If the Lord Holy Son said he wanted to reincarnate a new type of angel, would he abandon them after creating new Seraphim?
Now that he had heard the Lord Holy Son's words, he finally felt relieved.
From beginning to end, the Lord Holy Son had never had any intention of abandoning them.
"All right, all right. You do not need to look like that."
Anos smiled helplessly, then threw two things into the reincarnation pool.
The True Sacred Cross and the Fallen Sacred Heart.
Although the Fallen Sacred Heart's three-day effect had already passed, all that meant was that it no longer provided the power of the Biblical God.
In a certain sense, there was no problem treating it as a holy relic containing the source of the Biblical God's power.
"Michael, remember this. Although the newly reincarnated angels will not be produced as quickly as before, their strength is guaranteed. Even the weakest among them will reach the level of today's high-ranking angels. You must train them properly."
Anos reminded him.
"Oh, right. These angels will not fall."
Then he spoke another piece of news that was unbelievably explosive to Michael.
