Rex took this in.
The goddess of justice had not taken away Xavier's blessing. He hadn't expected this information, so he had to think about it carefully.
If the blessing continued, it meant that from a divine point of view, Xavier was possibly alive. This could mean that the goddess didn't yet know everything that had happened to him, that divine awareness of mortal deaths worked on a different timescale than mortal awareness did, or that there was something about the way Xavier died that made it unclear in the divine registry.
Rex thought. "Lustia once said that I could steal their system or apostle power... but she also gave me a choice to destroy it."
"If I'm taking it, then... it's going to be risky, but I need to remember that I have two skills that can clearly cover my whole identity."
"Maybe I need to discuss it again with Lustia, and the plan to attack Aethelgard, as Xavier needed to wait for a moment."
