Rias Gremory was trying to adjust to the change in Light's house. She was particularly wary of Misa, a girl who had once sung a rather dangerous song.

But who was Rias? Even if this girl might be stronger than most, Rias had confidence in herself. She was no longer the same as before, especially after training with Light. Her control over her own power had reached a different level.

In part, this was due to Light's aura. The presence of this aura made her flaws begin to fade, allowing Rias to train even more effectively.

"Rias, Akeno, Koneko, and... Kiba. Would you like to join me for training?" Light proposed.

After accumulating a significant amount of points with Megumi's help, Light felt ready to invest about two years of his energy training with them.

He had additional reasons for this, and one of them was the pursuit of greater strength...

At first, Light considered not including Kiba, but there was something specific he wanted to test by inviting him.

Before they could answer, Light added, "Ah, and Megumi, you too. It will be a good opportunity for us to improve our team coordination for the Rating Game."

Megumi nodded in agreement. She also wanted to spend more time with Light.

Rias and the others accepted the invitation. Kiba, on the other hand, seemed somewhat surprised. Although Light didn't completely exclude him, he didn't usually show much affinity for him.

It was understandable. Light and Kiba didn't share many common interests and rarely found topics for a conversation that didn't bore them after a few minutes.

This time, Light wanted to practice with swords and thought it would be beneficial to have a partner who mastered this art.

Later, after they left, Light was accompanied by Lala, Misa, Ryuk, Rem, Eva, Himari, and Asia, who joined him for the first time.

In the training grounds, Light addressed Asia: "Asia, I want to make you a proposal."

It was a crucial moment for him to reshape perceptions, especially of Rias and the others, making them believe that his goal was just group training.

He intended for everyone to believe it was a regular gathering, but the truth...

"Yes, Light-sama?" Asia, with her innocent eyes, awaited the answer, gazing at Light.

"I wish to invite you to join what I call the 'Zodiac Goddesses'. And, you will take on a role similar to that of a Goddess..."

Light began detailing to Asia everything he had already shared with Misa and the others present.

"L-Light-sama... Are you the reincarnation of a God?" Asia's voice sounded hesitant and somewhat breathless.

"I don't believe I am. However, I might be something akin to the God you know. After all, what he does, I can also do. And, possibly, I can do things he couldn't," Light replied, with a calm and self-assured voice.

Asia wasn't offended by Light's audacity. Somehow, she felt his words were sincere and true. She wanted to trust him... In fact, she already did.

"Hehehe... More powerful than the God of the Bible... I never considered that, but you might be right." Ryuk let out a brief laugh and added, "I witnessed the God of the Bible in battle before his death, but he never seemed as enigmatic nor gave me this oppressive aura I feel coming from Light."

When Rem first met Light, she didn't notice all this aura around him. However, as the days went by, especially those she spent by his side, she began to feel the same. To her, there was something even more unsettling about Light than Hades: "I agree."

Just like Ryuk, Rem also witnessed the war and saw the God of the Bible in action.

"Without a doubt, Light is unparalleled in the entire universe!" Lala exclaimed with a mix of pride and innocence in her expression.

"Light is, undoubtedly, the most extraordinary of all," Misa stated. "He is the great love of my life, so of course, he must be unique in the entire universe!"

And, perhaps for the first time, Himari agreed with Misa: "Exactly, the young master is the most remarkable of all."

After a period where the girls showered Light with praises, in a sort of compliment competition, even Eva expressed her admiration for him. Light then returned to the main topic.

"So, Asia, what is your answer?" He asked, gazing into her eyes.

"Yes, absolutely!" Asia replied, with a gleam of happiness on her face. How could she refuse? She was devout, and even if the object of her devotion changed, her faith remained intact. Now, that faith was directed towards Light. And, after hearing all that, of course, she yearned to become one of the Zodiac Goddesses under his guidance. How could she resist?

Light nodded with a smile and then took the Zodiac stone associated with Virgo.

The moment the stone merged with her chest, floating and positioning itself between her breasts, Asia began to undergo a transformation, enveloped in bright lights reminiscent of the aurora borealis.

A few seconds later, the lights dissipated, revealing the changes in her appearance.

Majestic sky-blue wings, adorned with thin shades of fluorescent green on their five ribbons, combined in harmony that radiated an ethereal glow. These wings, long and graceful, seemed to be wrapped in celestial flames that, unlike earthly flames, did not emanate heat or destruction but a sense of calm and healing. Each feather shone with the purity of light and energy, from its base to its sharp tips, resembling scimitars. Their movement left luminous trails, like shooting stars in the sky.

In her eyes, small bright dots, resembling distant stars, appeared as she levitated slightly above the ground.

Her outfit, made of a material resembling satin, flowed and adapted to the surrounding environment. It was predominantly white, but with silver, blue, and green reflections, evoking the image of the starry sky. A belt with the symbol of the Virgo sign adorned her waist, and her shoes were made of a golden material.

Asia felt extraordinary. It was as if she was living the most sublime moment of her life; feeling powerful, loved, desired, and above all, unique.

During her transformation, a fusion occurred. By becoming the Zodiac Goddess of Virgo, she integrated the Sacred Gear into her being, making it intrinsically part of her strength, and not just a useful tool.

Upon revealing this fusion, Light initially appeared surprised but soon praised with a smile: "That's impressive, Asia. Congratulations!"

By nature, as the Zodiac Goddess of Virgo, Asia already had healing abilities. However, by merging with the Sacred Gear, Twilight Healing, she became even more remarkable. Her healing capability was now on a much higher level.

Although she didn't verbalize it, Asia felt that, with enough energy, she could regenerate severely damaged limbs, making them grow back, just like a lizard's tail.
