Caelus checked Ayame's condition before giving her the Faith Power she needed.
Her training and the changes in her transformation had brought her to this point. He would make sure a shortage of Faith Power did not stop her now.
"Finish preparing your Divine Body first. We'll move somewhere safe before you begin the trial."
Ayame nodded and accepted the transfer.
Candy stayed nearby while Caelus helped Ayame complete her preparations. After that, they left the settled islands and traveled far enough away that her ascension would not threaten anyone below.
Golden light gathered around Ayame as she began.
While they waited, Caelus returned to something he had wanted to ask Glaciana for a long time.
"Back when you came to our world, why were you looking for Hollow Beasts?"
"We needed their power to seal entrances from the Hollow Realm. Leaving those openings alone would have allowed more creatures to cross over."
"So that was why you wanted them so badly."
