What is this? Could it be that I have really misunderstood the Church of Light?
Wu Yu began to question his previous judgment, but the appearance of this angel was not enough to overturn everything.
Wu Yu ran back to the church's backyard, determined to find out exactly what this angel was.
An eighth-tier epic? Or perhaps a ninth-tier myth, on par with the Demon King.
But all the information he had in the past pointed to the fact that humans did not possess ninth-tier combat power. It seemed that the Pope had not paid a great price, so how could he have summoned an extraordinary being so easily?
As Wu Yu stepped into the backyard, a golden feather drifted right past his eyes.
Wu Yu stared in astonishment at the scene before him.
All the important figures, led by the Pope, knelt respectfully before that venerable being.
Including that angel!
What utter disrespect! A mythical creature from legends bowing and scraping before humans! Yet, no one in the backyard found it unusual.
The angel was kneeling on one knee, holding a lightsaber that symbolized power, and offering it to Virginia who stood before her.
"No!" Wu Yu tried to stop this incongruous scene, but several powerful forces locked onto him, and Wu Yu's throat moved slightly, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Virginia placed her hand on the hilt of the sword, and the lightsaber instantly transformed into a streak of light, piercing into her body.
The angel's body gradually became transparent, and the first thing to disappear was the pair of pure white wings on her back.
Behind Virginia, a pair of wings that did not belong to humans sprouted, and her clothes began to be gradually replaced. Silver boots covered her jade feet, and a battle dress protected her body while outlining her graceful figure.
Starting from the roots, her brown hair gradually turned platinum blonde, imbued with a rich power of faith. Her braids, originally designed for everyday convenience, came undone on their own, and her long hair cascaded freely down her back.
This is the sublimation of life; Virginia seems to have completed the transformation from human to god.
Looking at the sacred and inviolable figure before him, Wu Yu no longer knew whether to call her "her" or to address her as "He".
"Virginia." The force binding Wu Yu suddenly disappeared, and Wu Yu subconsciously called out.
Virginia didn't answer, but she looked at Wu Yu and nodded at him with a smile.
Those eyes, now also platinum gold, still held the familiar gaze Wu Yu knew—pure, innocent, and concerned for all living beings.
Wu Yu breathed a sigh of relief at not seeing that cold divinity within it; it seemed that, contrary to his assumptions, the autonomous consciousness within this divine body still belonged to Virginia.
Virginia flapped her wings, and she seemed to transform into a beam of light, vanishing from the spot in an instant.
"Could you explain what happened, Your Holiness?" Wu Yu tried to remain polite as he spoke.
“Mr. Wu Yu, the angel you just saw is not a true representative of God. It is a sacred object bestowed by the great God of Light to protect the Church of Light—the War Angel. It has automatic combat capabilities and its combat power is comparable to the top-tier epic-level warriors. However, the one who invaded this time is the Demon Lord, one of the eight executives of the Demon Clan. Even the War Angel is no match for him.”
"But fortunately, we have the Saintess, a one-in-a-million chosen one of the gods, who can perfectly wield the power of the War Angel, and even use it to connect with the gods and borrow the power of authority that belongs exclusively to the gods. At this moment, the Saintess is invincible."
The Pope explained in detail, but Wu Yu shook his head repeatedly. Finally, Wu Yu said impatiently, "That's not what I want to ask. What I want to ask is why you forbade me from speaking just now?"
“Mr. Wu Yu, you have received the blessings of the gods and cannot tolerate any offense.” The Pope shook his head, the benevolence in his eyes gradually fading, and his words carried a hint of threat. “Moreover, Mr. Wu Yu, sometimes meddling too much is not a good thing.”
······
If the dangers were disregarded, this fiery cloud in the sky was truly spectacular.
However, under the roasting heat of the purple flames, Marlowe was in considerable discomfort.
He still had about half of his battle qi left, and the flames above his head had become increasingly fierce after consuming his battle qi. With this ebb and flow, Marlowe's battle qi consumption rate was also gradually increasing.
If this drags on any longer, he won't even have enough fighting spirit left for battle.
However, the battle below was still fierce. Before Ted and his companion could kill more than a few demons, the dozen or so demons that had reached the seventh-tier legendary level began to unite and resist Ted and his companion.
Ted and the Grand Tutor were not in their best condition, and the difference in combat power between the eighth and seventh ranks was not so great that they were unable to resist. Both of them had mastered the power of the laws, and even if the legendary ranks did not have a perfect understanding of the laws, they could at least protect themselves from being crushed by the power of the laws.
Ted and his men currently have the upper hand, but they won't be able to deal with those demons anytime soon.
Therefore, Marlowe must make a decision quickly: whether to continue sheltering the people below or to cross the sea of fire and fight Leviathan to the death.
If this drags on, even Marlowe himself could be in mortal danger, but he still refuses to give up. If he were to abandon justice so easily, what right would he have to try to protect the world in the future?
Marlowe ultimately chose to stand firm, firmly believing that he was not fighting alone. In this capital, they still possessed an eighth-tier epic. Although he did not know the reason, the Pope would never allow demons to run rampant in the human world; he must be preparing a fatal blow.
