Chapter 389 The Terrifying True Form Of The Angel, The Ceremony Begins!
Chapter 389 The Terrifying True Form Of The Angel, The Ceremony Begins!
Lucifer, the Archangel of Light, is a neutral human-like figure.
Although there may be differences in appearance, it is certain that the figure is humanoid, even if it is not the true form of a deity.
"Who says angels must always be humanoid?" Little Saintess shook her head.
"As far as I know, most of the beings in the sublime heaven are not humanoid."
"On the contrary, some demons in the Abyss have a human-like form."
"So, does that mean demons are closer to humans?" Chen Yu asked in surprise.
"In a sense, it is humans who are closer to demons," Little Saintess said. "Only humans can encompass all original sins."
"So, in the future, will you become like this?" Chen Yu looked at the monster-like form created by Little Saintess with holy power, feeling conflicted.
He couldn't help but ponder a question: if Little Saintess really became like this, where should he hang himself from?
"Hehe." Little Saintess giggled mischievously. "Brother, am I still beautiful like this?"
Chen Yu: ...
"Hehe. Actually, not all angels are like this," Little Saintess said playfully. "This is just the initial form of angels."
"The appearance of angels is not fixed."
"The eyes represent perception, and the wings represent action, but they are only symbols, not absolutes."
"In order to be close to humans and gain their belief, angels also change themselves and shape themselves into human forms."
As she spoke, the dough monster in Little Saintess's hand stretched out and gradually transformed into a humanoid form, very similar to Lucifer, the Archangel of Light.
"Angels in front of humans usually look like this."
"...Alright."
...
After completing the final inspection, Little Saintess and Chen Yu left the interior of the Opening Heaven Archangel.
At the same time, the Archangel of Light was completely sealed.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these two days, the demons that were blocked outside the seven fortresses seemed to have sensed something and began to launch attacks regardless of the consequences.
Countless demons and fallen beings were annihilated.
At the same time, numerous holy practitioners died tragically.
Most of the high-end combat forces in the holy city were dispatched, leaving only the Holy Templar Knights, the ultimate force, to defend the safety of the holy city.
At the top of the Archangel of Light.
Little Saintess stood in front of a small altar.
Beside her were Chen Yu and the five Archbishops who remained in the holy city.
"So, the defense of the holy city is entrusted to all of you."
Little Saintess had no expression as she spoke to the Archbishops.
"Your Majesty, may the unsurpassable glory of the Most High be with you!"
The five Archbishops simultaneously bowed to Little Saintess.
"Don't worry." Chen Yu smiled and nodded at Little Saintess.
Little Saintess took a step forward and walked up to the altar.
Pure and immense divine power surged out from within Little Saintess and flowed into the altar beneath her feet.
The hexagram pattern on the altar immediately emitted a dazzling white light.
Then, the entire Archangel of Light began to emit a soft glow.
The cold statue, under the illumination of the light, seemed to come to life.
The expression on the statue's head became gentle and loving.
The six pairs of wings behind the statue began to slowly flap.
In every church in the city, a loud hymn resounded.
From the tops of the twelve grand cathedrals surrounding the angel statue, beams of white light shot up into the sky.
The dazzling light beams and angel statues complemented each other, as if a great spirit had descended upon the earth.
"Miracle! It's a miracle!"
"Look, the Lucifer Holy Elephant has come to life!"
"Praise our God! Is this the divine arrival to save us from our suffering?"
"Oh Lord, have you finally felt the prayers of the Lamb? Please descend upon the earth and cleanse the impure Abyss!"
Within the holy city, countless believers witnessed this miraculous scene and knelt on the ground, praying towards the angel statue.
At the top of the angel statue, the petite Saintess's body floated up and slowly ascended into the sky.
Finally, it stopped at the intersection of the white beams emitted from the twelve cathedrals.
Her petite figure was completely engulfed in the intense white light.
The radiance from the twelve cathedrals converged with the radiance from the celestial stone statue, forming a massive beam of light several tens of meters thick, shooting straight into the sky.
At high noon, even the sunlight was overshadowed and appeared dim.
The dense holy power, almost solidifying, descended from the sky.
Within the twelve cathedrals, a long-dormant power seemed to be activated by the formation, flowing slowly towards the angel statue along the beam of holy power.
Chen Yu felt that the Abyss magic within his body was somewhat obstructed, suppressed by these powerful divine forces!
"Everyone, prepare yourselves, for the most difficult moment is about to come." The ascetic Hera Tugus looked solemnly at the intersection of the light and spoke to the other four archbishops.
"Archbishop Peter, please quickly summon the archbishops from the seven major fortresses, along with all the elite forces."
"Continuing to defend will only result in futile sacrifices, torn to pieces by the mad demons."
"Remember, only summon the high-end forces!"
"Only summon the elite forces?" Archbishop Peter's face changed. "Archbishop Hera Tugus, what about the other clergy and believers in the seven major fortresses? What should we do with them?"
"If they can delay the demons' advance for a while, that would be best. Sacrificing themselves for the glory of our God is their honor." Hera Tugus said coldly.
"But, this..."
"Archbishop Peter, please remember, this is the most critical moment for our God, not the time to display your mercy!" Hera Tugus shouted sternly.
"Alright, Archbishop Peter, go."
"I understand." Archbishop Peter sighed and flew into the distance.
Hera Tugus then turned to the remaining three archbishops and said:
"Well then, Archbishop Randall, Archbishop Cielaner, Archbishop Migros, please activate the highest alert in the holy city!"
"Let these filthy demons see the foundation of our Radiant Wing Empire's holy city!"
"Understood!"
"Got it."
"Well then, Archbishop Hera Tugus, you will be in control of the central hub of the holy city."
The three archbishops also left one after another.
"General." Hera Tugus looked at Chen Yu and said calmly, "Please guard the angel statue on this side."
"Please make sure not to leave the angel statue."
"Of course, also be careful not to disturb the Pope."
After speaking, he flew towards the temple below the statue without looking back.
"Oh? Am I being treated as a freeloader?" Chen Yu showed an interesting smile.
He himself, as a follower of Lucifer, had joined the list of those ascending to the sublime heaven with the Saintess.
And he was added later.
Although the several archbishops who knew about Chen Yu's relationship with the Saintess had no objections, they didn't have a good expression towards him either.
"This spectacle is truly grand." Chen Yu looked up at the terrifying white beam of light.
The entire ceremony would last for nearly two days.
During this time, who knows how many demons, traitors from the sublime heaven,
and... the ascetic Hera Tugus would emerge!
