Angels soaring in the sky unleashed a dazzling, holy light. Gabriel proudly led the way with her eighteen wings, followed closely by three archangels with sixteen wings, all of whom she had meticulously designed. These three had all reached the mid-stage of the God-King realm and were the core force among the angels.
Following that, the fourteen-winged, twelve-winged, ten-winged, and outermost eight-winged angels lined up in sequence. Their strength levels spanned from the peak of the main god to the early stage of the main god, forming the powerful foundation of the angels.
The first angels, led by Gabriel, displayed unparalleled divine power. Apart from Gabriel's unique temperament, the holy radiance emitted by the other angels illuminated the earth. Wherever they passed, the demons touched by the divine power of light turned to ashes in the holy radiance and dissipated into the air.
On the city walls, the numerous guards were bathed in the holy light descending from the sky, their injuries healing rapidly, and their strength and spirit restored to an unprecedented state. Grinya gazed up at the majestic Gabriel in the sky, and the angels surrounding her, also radiating holy light, her heart filled with awe and bewilderment.
She murmured to herself, "Lady Gabriel... and these winged warriors, are they all Lady Gabriel's people? To have all of them possess the power of holy light is simply a miracle."
She looked down at the demons that were being reduced to ashes in the holy light. Compared to the scene of Lady Alice purifying demons that she had witnessed before, the current sight was even more magnificent and awe-inspiring. There were no legends of angels in this world, so Grinya and the others found this scene completely unfamiliar.
However, Gabriel didn't pay much attention to their reactions. She directly issued the battle order: "Attack! The goal is to drive the demons back to hell. This is your first battle, and I expect you to achieve a brilliant victory!"
Upon hearing Gabriel's command, all the angels responded in unison, their high morale and unwavering determination converging into a mighty torrent: "Yes! Mother Goddess!"
Like streaks of lightning ripped across the sky, the angels swooped down to engage the demon army in a fierce battle. Their holy wings unfurled, casting rays of light that formed a natural barrier, blocking the demons' onslaught.
Under Gabriel's command, the angels performed their duties and cooperated skillfully, demonstrating a high level of combat prowess and cohesion.
Inspired by the angels, the guards on the city walls also mustered their courage and joined the battle. They witnessed how the angels used the power of holy light to purify the demons, and they also saw the holy light city walls become incredibly dazzling under the angels' illumination.
This battle is not just a duel between angels and demons, but also a contest between light and darkness, hope and despair.
......
Gou Sheng's eyes widened in astonishment. He stammered as he turned to Uncle Nine and asked, "Uncle Nine, how can Miss Gabriel be so powerful? And why does she have so many wings on her back?"
Uncle Nine was equally shocked by the scene before him, but he quickly composed himself, glancing regretfully at the cleaned-up demon area, and muttered to himself, "There's no profit to be made now. It's true what they say, the group leader hasn't even made a move yet, and we can't even pick up a scrap. But since Gabriel is traveling with the group leader, her actions are almost equivalent to the group leader taking action himself."
Uncle Nine also has some knowledge of Western mythology, especially popular culture symbols like angels. After all, he inevitably encounters all sorts of strange and unusual things while carrying out chat group missions, so he has to broaden his knowledge.
He knew that the number of wings an angel had usually indicated their status, but he couldn't help but wonder: "Logically speaking, angels should have at most six pairs of wings, so why does Miss Gabriel have so many wings on her back?"
Faced with Gou Sheng's question, Uncle Jiu pondered for a moment and gave his own speculation: "Well, based on what we learn in the future, Miss Gabriel is very likely an angel. Angels' status is determined by the number of wings on their backs, and Miss Gabriel's number of wings far exceeds conventional understanding, which may indicate that she has an extremely high status in the angel world."
Upon hearing this, Gou Sheng frowned and muttered, "Angels? Angels, could they have something to do with the heavens?" Thinking of this possibility, Gou Sheng suddenly wanted to know if there was any connection between them.
At this moment, Chen Ping suddenly appeared in front of Uncle Jiu and Gou Sheng, and said with a smile, "Uncle Jiu, Gou Sheng, how was it? How much did you get in the chat group? How many chat group points did you get?"
Chen Ping was also surprised that the demons would provide chat group points, and that the demons killed by the angels would be counted against him. This was a bit unexpected, but looking at the ever-increasing chat group points, he felt quite pleased.
"Group leader."
Uncle Nine greeted him first, and then replied, "It's not bad. I earned over 100,000 points. With the guaranteed minimum from the missions, I should be able to earn around 200,000."
After saying that, Uncle Nine nodded in satisfaction. The gains from this mission were more than all his previous missions combined. With so many chat group points, it seemed that his strength would be greatly improved after returning.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping laughed and said, "Not bad! Gou Sheng, what about you? Did you get anything?"
Gou Sheng: "Hehe, not bad, not bad. Uncle Jiu gave me some talismans, which gave me more than 20,000 chat group points, haha."
Chen Ping: "Oh, impressive, Gousheng! You're the fastest newcomer to gain a lot of points in the history of the chat group, haha, not bad, not bad. It seems your strength will improve significantly soon."
"By the way, group owner," Gou Sheng turned to Chen Ping and asked curiously, "Is Miss Gabriel really an angel? What exactly are angels? What is their connection to the heavens?"
Chen Ping pondered for a moment, then explained simply: "Angels can be broadly understood as sacred beings created by Heaven or higher beings in certain worlds, responsible for carrying out the will of Heaven. However, the understanding of angels may differ in each world."
Seeing Gou Sheng's expression, Chen Ping seemed to guess his doubts, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Did you think of the 'sky' in your own world?"
Gou Sheng nodded somewhat awkwardly and said frankly, "In my world, the heavens are not a fair and impartial being, so I am a little sensitive to the word 'angel'."
After listening, Chen Ping nodded knowingly and replied, "I see. So, in your world, the Heavenly Dao does indeed have a certain degree of selfishness, which is certainly not an ideal state. However, you should know that in different world systems, the concepts of the Heavenly Dao and angels are vastly different, and there is no need to confuse them."
