Angel's Descent: The Wings of Rebellion

When Jano decided to act, he wasted no time.

He first returned to his base and announced the danger had been averted. He then instructed his people to prepare bronze tools and go to two locations deep within the mountain of Mount Celestia, where they would dig two large pits—just the right size to bury the bodies of the titan and the ancient dragon.

He intended to hide them away and use their remains for the long term.

With his orders given, Jano took a piece of blue stone and flew toward the place where the titan and dragon had perished.

When he arrived at the scene, the blood of the two demigods had stopped flowing. These were no ordinary beings, and their bodies were far from normal. However, pools of golden blood still gathered beneath them.

At the intersection of the light and dark energies, where their blood met, a sizzling sound filled the air, as if something was constantly grinding and decaying, blending together in a slow, inevitable rot.

Upon witnessing this, Jano discarded the idea of mixing the titan's and dragon's blood.

But there was still a choice to make—light and dark, titan and dragon—Jano had to choose.

He looked at himself and, after a moment's reflection, realized he was more inclined toward humanoid forms.

So, he decided to immerse himself in the blood pool formed by the titan's blood. With the blue stone in hand, he leaped into the pool.

"Ah!!"

The moment he touched the blood, an agonizing pain surged through his body, as if every cell, every fiber of his being was burning. It felt as though he were being remade, hammered like molten metal, and then torn apart. His blood seemed to be pulled from his veins and forcefully replaced.

But soon, the blue stone began to emit a soft glow, and a cool sensation spread throughout his body, alleviating the burning pain. His bloodlines began to settle, and the violent sensations calmed.

Jano barely had a chance to breathe before the pain returned—this time, even more intense.

Without the dilution of water, he was completely submerged in the titan's blood.

Outside his awareness, the system notification kept chiming, but he had no energy to check it.

This process went on for three days and nights. When the pain finally subsided and he could no longer feel the physical torment, he drew upon his immense willpower to endure. By then, only a tenth of the titan's blood remained in the pool, and its once radiant glow had faded, leaving it as a mere, mundane liquid.

Finally, Jano was able to recover.

He checked his body and was astonished at the changes. His wings, once dark and gray, were now entirely covered in pure white feathers. His hair had turned silver, and his body, excluding his wings, was now smooth and flawless, revealing his handsome face and fair skin.

Having bathed in the blood of the Light Titan, his charm had been enhanced beyond measure.

The most surprising change, however, was in his hands and feet—his talons had been replaced by human-like hands and feet, identical to those of his previous life. This transformation gave him a new range of abilities and greatly enhanced his combat prowess.

With his transformation complete, Jano finally opened his system panel.

As soon as the panel opened, a flood of system notifications appeared.

Looking at the section to name his race, a flash of curiosity crossed Jano's eyes.

He considered naming it "Angel" for a moment, but as soon as the thought crossed his mind, a sudden, overwhelming sense of dread washed over him. He quickly abandoned the idea.

"To claim the title of 'Angel' would invite divine retribution," he thought.

"Since I can't be an angel, I'll settle for naming the new race 'Winged' for now. System, name my new race: Winged!"

Jano made the decision quickly.

[Congratulations! The race name has been successfully changed from Hawkman to Winged!]
