Eden was absentmindly listening to her cupid spy report. Dutifully her servant was listing all what she seen and heard during her mission and the after a while, the Seraph's attention just shifted elswhere, understanding she would not reveal anything of importance. Instead of listening, Eden let just the informations be processed inside of her brain while gazing at the infinite landcape of golden cloud stretching beyond the horizon.

Truly, the Goddess work is indeed marvelous.

After a while the cupid finished her report. Eden thanked her for the informations. She idly wondered how the stupid-looking low-ranking angel has not been discovered by this point. Weren't Promestein and her associates so proud of their superior intellect ? Or maybe they simply didn't care they were spyed upon ?
Honestly Eden favorised the second hypothesis. She had nothing but contempt for Promestein and her minions. She was a heathen and a freak but she couldn't refute that she was brainy.

In the end the report of the cupid didn't give her any insight in the rebellious angel plans. For anything she knew, she was quite content doing her research with her little group away from anyone. And frankly Eden would be quite relieved if it was the case. She had bigger worries than Promestein, namely the eight monster lord which is lurking around the world, silently gathering her followers and strenghts all according to their agreement with the Goddess.

Eden would never dare question Ilias plans. She was the paragon of perfection and the one who created her. If anything, Eden was loyal, not like some others...
But she couldn't get rid of the idea that trusting Black Alice was a big mistake on so many levels : trusting a lesser being, trusting a monster, trusting a monster lord, trusting Black Alice. It might just be a step away from trusting the First.

But then there is also a reason why Eden was monitoring them. They may plot all they want, it is futile. Sooner or later she will learn of their attentions. With this knowledge, she will let them do as they please, serve their purpose until the last instant. And when they will finally turn on the Goddess, finally she will defeat them.
She could already see it. The despair on their faces when she would reveal that she knew all along what they were up too. How she masterfully planned their demise with her knowledge and superior wits. Before striking them down she will taunt them, tell them how all went according her plans and how foolish it was to oppose the Heavens and Goddess Ilias.

As she dismissed the cupid, Eden couldn't supress a shudder while a creepy smile drew itself on her face.

With this she would show her valor.

With this she would gain Ilias praises and affection.

With this she would finally be the fir-

BOOM !

"FIRST !"

Eden througths were brutly interrupted as a massive explosion went off near the entry of heavens. From the black smoke cloud emerged a girl with short brown hairs with an orange hair band, brown eyes, black clothes and strange metal parts all around a body.

She stopped short from the bewildered Eden, ignoring the chaos all around and looking quite pleased with herself. After an instant she nodded to herself.

"Yep, Shiratsuyu is definitly the number one !"
