God Simulator: The Goddesses In The Simulation Are All Real

Chapter 202 Angel of Redemption: Gabriel

"Good," Linsley said, dismissing the artifact with a wave of his hand.

He turned toward Lucy, who remained tense but no longer restrained. Despite her outward composure, faint signs of the side effects of overusing her Fallen Angel gift lingered.

Her crimson eyes glowed faintly, and dark flux swirled around her like a restless shadow, betraying the storm of emotions she was still struggling to reign in.

"Now, we need to address her," Linsley said, his voice steady but carrying an edge of concern.

Ted frowned, glancing at Lucy again. "You sure she's ready? She's still giving me the death glare—and, uh, that flux around her doesn't exactly scream 'calm.'"

Lucy finally met Ted's gaze, though her expression was tight, her voice quiet but steady.

"I'm fine," she muttered, though the faint crackle of dark flux around her said otherwise. "Ted, I didn't mean to drag you into my... mess."

Ted softened, his respect for Lucy overriding any lingering frustration. "It's okay, Lucy. I get it now. But we're in this together, right? We always have been."

For a moment, Lucy hesitated, her crimson eyes flickering as if fighting back the negative emotions threatening to overwhelm her.

Finally, her gaze dropped briefly, guilt flashing across her face before she nodded. "Yeah... together."

Aurielle's voice shattered the fragile silence, her tone light and teasing. "Aw, how touching. Can we get back to the part where we're all fugitives now?"

Linsley shot her a warning look before addressing the group. "We'll regroup here for now, but this isn't over. The Dominion will retaliate, and we'll need to strike before they can recover."

"What's the plan, bro?" Ted asked, standing up, his newfound power radiating subtly but steadily as if he were still adjusting to the surge from his Second Awakening.

Her crimson eyes softened into twin golden orbs, glowing with an ethereal radiance. Golden flux radiated outward, filling the room with a calming warmth.

For a moment, Lucy marveled at the balance she felt, her chaotic flux now soothed by the gift's harmonious energy.

But her expression grew determined as she pushed herself further, attempting to summon both the Fallen Angel: Lucifer and Angel of Redemption: Gabriel gifts simultaneously.

As she concentrated, her white wings darkened at the edges, sprouting a second pair of black, feathered wings below the first. Her golden halo began to flicker, entwined with a faint shadowy aura.

Her golden flux merged with the dark flux, swirling together into a striking duality. Her eyes reflected the change, one glowing crimson and the other gleaming gold, embodying the balance of sin and redemption.

The room trembled slightly from the power emanating from her, but Lucy grimaced as she struggled to maintain control.

The dual nature of the gifts was overwhelming, and sweat beaded on her forehead as the flux around her destabilized momentarily.

Aurielle whistled, her violet eyes wide with amusement and intrigue. "Well, now that's a look. You've got the whole 'fallen angel redeemed' aesthetic down pat. But you're struggling, aren't you?"

Lucy staggered, catching herself with one of her dark wings. "It's... harder than I thought. The balance... It's not natural yet."

Ted stepped closer, his brown flux steady and calming. "Lucy, you're forcing it. Take it slow. You've only just reached Level 9.9—don't push yourself too hard."

Linsley's sharp eyes locked onto Lucy, analyzing her state.

He stepped forward, his tone both commanding and supportive. "Ted's right. You've only just unlocked this duality. The flux from both gifts is conflicting because you're not used to balancing them yet. For now, focus on mastering one at a time."

Lucy nodded reluctantly, allowing the golden flux to fully dominate as the influence of her Fallen Angel: Lucifer gift receded.
