Chapter 860: Chapter 568: World Destruction Level Collision, Angel Legion VS "Celestial Claw
To witness the fall of World Destruction Level powerhouses so directly was simply unimaginable. These terrifying entities, capable of dominating entire regions in the outside world, had actually become food here. In just a few minutes of battle, over twenty Six-winged Angels had been torn to shreds, and two powerful Twelve-winged Angels of Death had been reduced to meals for that pack of monsters.
These ferocious beings known as the Celestial Claws were undoubtedly extremely formidable, even among World Destruction Level entities. The Austin Sage’s plan was a success. And a success beyond imagination at that. The trouble this pack of Celestial Claws brought to the Divine Kingdom of Light was far greater than he had anticipated.
At this moment, the scene in the Water Mirror suddenly changed. The massive War Fortress abruptly erupted with a terrifying pressure that far exceeded that of any previous Angel! Even through the Water Mirror, Raylo felt a surge of palpitation. A figure slowly emerged from the shadow of the Fortress. He had no wings. His form was practically indistinguishable from that of a human. Clad in a simple white robe, he was bathed in Holy Light so dense it seemed solid, obscuring his facial features. Yet, the instant he appeared, the entire chaotic battlefield came to a momentary standstill. Whether it was the slaughtering Angels or the frenzied Celestial Claws, all subconsciously turned their attention toward him.
"A big one has arrived," the Austin Sage said, a trace of solemnity finally seeping into his normally indifferent tone.
"World Destruction Level Peak..." Raylo’s heart skipped a beat. World Destruction Level Peak?
"This should be the Divine Avatar of Light, left outside the Divine Kingdom by the Light Deity to command the Angel Legion," the Sage deduced.
An avatar! Just a single avatar possessed the strength of a World Destruction Level Peak? Then what kind of terrifying existence would the Light Deity’s true body be? Raylo didn’t dare to think any further.
Just then, the leader of the Celestial Claws—the most massive in size, with an aura that had also reached the World Destruction Level Peak—let out a provocative and tyrannical screech. It sensed a threat and an unprecedented challenge. As the overlord of this Void Nebula, the word "retreat" did not exist in its dictionary!
"SCREECH!"
Accompanied by a shrill cry that shook the starry cosmos, it flapped its wings violently. Its colossal, sky-obscuring body transformed into a dark-gold comet tearing through the darkness, fiercely charging straight at the Divine Avatar of Light that had just revealed its aura! King against king! Peak against peak!
In the distance, reinforcements from the other two War Fortresses orbiting the golden Divine Kingdom finally arrived. Two squads of Twelve-winged Angels of Death rapidly closed in on the battlefield from the left and right! Twelve from one direction! Ten from the other! Within the Water Mirror, the intensity of the war instantly escalated to an entirely new level with the addition of these twenty-two Twelve-winged Angels of Death.
"BOOM!"
The clash between the two World Destruction Level Peak entities was the first to ignite the battlefield! The World Destruction Level Peak Celestial Claw leader, shaped into a dark-gold comet, ferociously collided with the white figure of the Divine Avatar of Light, which surged with Supreme Divine Power! At the epicenter of their collision, the void shattered inch by inch like fragile glass, forming an ever-expanding pitch-black cavity that frantically devoured all surrounding light and energy. The holy radiance and the tyrannical dark-gold energy madly intertwined and annihilated each other, unleashing devastating shockwaves that swept in all directions!
The Angel Legion, closing in rapidly from the left and right, also arrived at the battlefield. Twenty-two World Destruction Level Angels of Death! They transformed into two Holy Light Swords, viciously stabbing into the flanks of the rampaging Celestial Claw formation.
"BOOM!"
What had originally been a one-sided slaughter came to an abrupt halt. With the addition of these fresh reinforcements, the power of the Light Deity’s side instantly experienced a qualitative leap. Over thirty World Destruction Level Twelve-winged Angels of Death formed a massive circular battle formation in the void, tightly besieging more than a dozen Celestial Claws in the center. Resplendent Holy Light Energy wove into an airtight, inescapable net. Light Spears woven from Holy Light, Sword Qi, and Flames poured down wave after wave upon the Void Ferocious Beasts trapped in the encirclement. The tide of battle was turned in an instant!
Raylo’s heartstrings pulled taut. Even through the Magic Water Mirror, he could feel the terrifying energy collisions on that battlefield. The Celestial Claws, which had previously been slaughtering wantonly like tigers among a flock of sheep, had finally met their true match. Their much-vaunted speed and brute force were stifled at every turn by these perfectly coordinated battle formations.
"SCREECH!"
One Celestial Claw attempted to repeat its old trick, trying to withstand the attacks head-on with its physical body to tear apart a Twelve-winged Angel. However, it was met with three Holy Swords piercing toward it from different angles simultaneously.
"SLASH!"
With a sweep of its massive wing, the Celestial Claw knocked two of the Holy Swords aside. Yet, a streak of Holy Light Sword Qi precisely struck the joint connecting its wing to its body. Dark-gold feathers instantly exploded as golden blood spurted out! It let out an agonized shriek and scrambled back in a panic. However, more Angels immediately filled the gap, and an inescapable net constructed of Holy Light enveloped it once more.
"Once these War Weapons form up in large numbers and create battle formations, they are indeed very troublesome," the Austin Sage concluded, watching the scene in the Water Mirror.
Raylo’s mind, however, was entirely captivated by the soul-stirring battlefield. This was a true divine war! World Destruction Level powerhouses had become the main forces comprising this battlefield. Any single entity that could stir up a storm of blood and carnage in the outside world could, at this very moment, be subjected to strangulation and devoured in the very next second.
Half an hour passed.
The battle fell into a complete stalemate. The Light Deity’s side stabilized their footing. Aside from a few unlucky Six-winged Angels who were caught in the crossfire and reduced to ash, no more Twelve-winged Angels fell. As for the Celestial Claws, aside from the unlucky one that was severely injured from focused fire, the rest of the ferocious beasts relied on their formidable physical bodies and sheer ferocity, suffering no new casualties. The two sides were like two tireless meat grinders, frantically wearing each other down. Judging by this posture, a victor wouldn’t be decided for hours, or perhaps even days. Raylo found his mouth completely dry. Just spectating a war of this caliber made him feel a profound exhaustion originating from the depths of his soul.
Just then, the Austin Sage beside him suddenly stood up. "We’ve watched enough of the show. Let’s go. I’ll take you somewhere fun."
Taken aback, Raylo subconsciously asked, "Go where?"
The Austin Sage pointed a finger at the background of the fierce battlefield in the Water Mirror—the massive War Fortress, as enormous as a moving Continent, that was continuously deploying the Angel Legion. "There. For a little fun."
"Sage, do you mean..."
"Shh." The Austin Sage made a shushing gesture, a smile gracing his face. "War is not just slaughter for the sake of slaughter. The most precious spoils of war are often hidden in the most unguarded rear."
The Austin Sage waved his hand casually. The Magic Water Mirror before them, along with the Concealed Barrier shrouding the two, dissipated without a trace in an instant. "Let’s go."
With a sweep of his sleeve, the Austin Sage wrapped up Raylo—who hadn’t yet recovered his wits—and took a step forward. Space distorted and folded beneath his feet. In just a few void flickers, they broke away from the Meteorite belt and appeared in the void merely a few thousand miles away from that War Fortress. They hid in a patch of void shadow near the colossal structure. The cold, enormous silhouette of the satellite fortress was close at hand.
The Austin Sage extended a finger and tapped lightly in front of them. Raylo looked down. An unbelievable scene unfolded. His body was being covered and reshaped by a layer of soft light. His original robes transformed into a suit of Six-winged Angel Armor, shimmering with holy radiance. Behind his back, three pairs of wings of light slowly unfurled, emitting Catastrophe Level pressure. Even his own aura was converted into the pure Holy Light Attribute.
He looked at the Austin Sage beside him; the other party had similarly transformed into a Six-winged Angel of Death. Vivid and lifelike, without a single flaw.
"Let’s go, we’re... going home."
