"Tsk tsk tsk, are you angels all idiots?"
'Karl' imitated Necrodamus's usual way of speaking, picking up the crossbow bolt stained with golden blood from the ground, while taunting the murderous angelic army outside the barrier:
"You haven't forgotten, have you? The [Truce Agreement] doesn't allow any angels or demons to enter except for two messengers…"
Then he turned to look at Brice, who was preparing to return to the Hell portal.
"Honorable Lord Brice, I have completed the agreement. Shouldn't you reward me with that page of the [Dark Book - Fragment]?"
A flash of ferocity flashed in Brice's eyes, and he scolded without turning his head, "Idiot, there are so many eyes watching outside the barrier right now. Do you want me to expose myself on the spot?"
But then, as if thinking of something, his tone forcibly softened a lot.
"But don't worry, I will never break my promise to you. After all, I signed a [Trading Contract] with you with my own soul… I will personally look for you later."
The arc of 'Karl's' mouth gradually stretched outward, and he faintly asked, "Then, were you lying to me when you said you would carry that page of the [Dark Book - Fragment] with you?!"
"Hmph, human, I warn you, it's best not to judge a gentleman's heart with your petty mind. That page of the [Dark Book] fragment is in my pocket right now."
Brice glanced almost imperceptibly at the golden barrier that was already beginning to collapse, and reminded:
"After Michael dies, the outer barrier will automatically dissolve after 2 minutes, so I advise you to escape immediately using this time… Pfft!!!"
However, before he could finish speaking, a crossbow bolt stained with golden blood accurately hit the back of his heart.
After devouring the blood and life force from Michael's body, the power of the curse contained in the "Sin Silver" used to forge this crossbow bolt was obviously enhanced a lot.
So much so that after the arrowhead pierced Brice's body, which was far more solid than steel, a large section of it was exposed from the front.
"You… you dare to attack me…"
Brice's face was full of disbelief.
He never expected that the greedy human wizard would dare to attack him?
Did this bastard want to play both sides?
Boom—
The next second, Brice directly followed in Michael's footsteps.
His whole body instantly exploded into a blood-colored light, and then disappeared from the spot.
The [Hyperspace Power] also successfully recovered the essence of Brice's soul from the two powerful forces, just like before.
However, in the position where Brice disappeared, there was an ancient parchment scroll recording mysterious characters, quietly floating in mid-air.
[Dark Book - Fragment]!!!
Invisible terrifying fluctuations continuously spread outward from the parchment scroll.
Outside the golden barrier, the faces of the [Angel Legion], who were still aggressive just now, couldn't help but change when they felt this evil and powerful pressure.
Some low-level angels with insufficient strength even turned their heads and fled into the distance under the drive of instinct.
……
[Reputation +444, +444, +444……]
[Detected a collectable high-level demon soul, Hyperspace soul count +1]
……
Nice!!!
Weapons made of "Sin Silver" are indeed effective against fallen angels.
This result was definitely great news for Karl.
Because in this way, it also meant that he finally had a winning weapon that could kill the [Hell Lord] Marduk Kurios.
Then, next, as long as the time is right, he can lead the army… ahem, let the Four Small Vendors lead the army to take down the [Hell] belonging to Marduk Kurios.
At the thought of the upcoming dimension war, even the naturally calm Karl couldn't help but feel a little eager to try.
It seems that the plan to plunder the [Space Stone] must be appropriately brought forward.
But now is not a good time to think about these things.
After Brice died, the outer golden barrier suddenly began to collapse at an accelerated rate.
And in addition to the previous [Angel Legion], now even the [Hell Legion] has joined the encirclement and suppression of Necrodamus, who had "committed public outrage."
Logically speaking, when the plan progressed to this point, Karl should abandon Necrodamus, this abandoned pawn.
Then let him be torn to pieces by the [Angel Legion] and the [Hell Legion], so as to perfectly destroy the body and eliminate the traces by the hands of others.
But that kind of approach is obviously the choice of ordinary people…
For people like Karl who have top-notch business thinking, "making the most of everything" is often the key to finally achieving unexpected success!
Just like the current Necrodamus.
In Karl's view, the other party still has some potential "value" that can be used, so naturally he won't let him die here so simply!
So after manipulating the other party to pick up the crossbow bolt and that page of the [Dark Book - Fragment], 'Karl' took advantage of Necrodamus' own earth escape magic to successfully escape before the outer golden barrier completely collapsed.
The [Angel Legion] and the [Hell Legion], who had nowhere to vent their anger, transferred their anger to each other and started a massive team battle.
However, due to the loss of command, the demons in the [Hell Legion] were like a group of uncontrollable mad dogs, unable to form an effective battle formation at all.
So before long, they were slaughtered by the orderly [Angel Legion].
But the faces of these angelic warriors did not show any joy after achieving victory, but were filled with endless sadness.
Because their most admired, the strongest archangel in [Heaven] who was best at fighting, Michael, was dead!
For the [Heavenly Forces], this was tantamount to an unprecedented huge "惨败" (惨败 - can be translated as: disastrous defeat/crushing defeat).
Dang—
Along with a melodious and crisp bell ringing from the sky, the "insurance mechanism" of the [Truce Agreement] officially began to take effect.
The "Gate of Heaven" emitting a holy light in the sky also began to slowly close.
And when this gate is completely closed, the only channel between the dimension where [Heaven] is located and the Earth will be permanently blocked from then on.
From now on, no angel can directly descend to Earth in its main body.
They can only descend limited power through angelic agents.
Whoosh—
At this moment, a male [Seraph] emitting holy light suddenly flew out of the "Gate of Heaven" as fast as lightning.
His name was Remiel, and like Michael, he was also a member of the [Seven Archangels] before God's throne, mainly in charge of matters related to "guarding souls in the underworld."
After hearing that Michael had met with misfortune, he rushed here non-stop.
After Remiel landed at the place where Michael was killed, he directly pressed his palm on the golden blood remaining on the ground.
The next second, he exclaimed in shock with a drastic change in his face, "What's going on? Michael's soul has disappeared?!"
Under normal circumstances, whether it is an angel or an archangel, after death, as long as the essence of the soul is not damaged, it can be resurrected by God afterwards.
This is also the fundamental reason why [Heaven] has been fighting with many [Hell Dimensions], including Marduk Kurios and Mephisto, for thousands of years without running out of troops.
But at this moment, the soul of Michael, the ceiling of [Heaven]'s combat power, has mysteriously disappeared?
This is obviously not normal!
What exactly is going on?
"Lord Remiel, a half-demon wants to talk to you… He says he knows the truth about Lord Michael's death."
At this time, an angelic warrior flew over from a distance to report.
"Half-demon?"
Remiel's face showed a hint of hesitation, "Let him come over!"
Soon, the figures of Daimon Hellstrom, Frank, and Logan Howlett appeared in front of Remiel.
The latter's gaze swept over the three of them one by one, and his golden pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly when he saw Daimon Hellstrom.
Obviously, he had already noticed the extraordinary nature of the half-demon in front of him.
"Son of Satan, if your next words fail to move me, you will bear the wrath of [Heaven] for your father!!"
Although Remiel has no evidence at the moment to prove that Michael's death is directly related to Marduk Kurios.
But apart from that, he really can't think of any other possibilities.
So… in the case that he can't catch Marduk Kurios, he might as well take his son to appease the anger in his heart first!
"Damn, it seems I'm still one step late."
Daimon Hellstrom put on a look of grief, and said with a heavy expression: "Archangel, I am not your enemy… First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Daimon Hellstrom, son of [Satan] Marduk Kurios."
"The reason why we appeared here at this time is actually related to an incident I have been investigating…"
Then, Daimon Hellstrom followed the statement previously arranged by Karl, and "embellished" the whole process of Necrodamus and Marduk Kurios colluding to do things with "Sin Silver".
Among them, there were naturally also many highlights of how Karl and he meticulously searched for clues and finally confirmed the enemy's tricks.
Finally, Daimon Hellstrom shook his head somewhat dejectedly.
"But unfortunately, although we successfully judged the enemy's intentions, we were never able to find out the exact location where the [Truce Agreement] would descend… Otherwise, this tragedy would not have happened."
"I apologize for my reckless remarks just now." Remiel did not doubt the truth of the other party's words, because he couldn't think of any reason why a half-demon would push this matter onto his own father's head.
So after a moment of silence, he looked at Daimon and the three with an apologetic look and said:
"Thank you three… no, it is you four for stepping forward in this incident, so that I understand the truth behind it."
"Daimon, as a half-demon, I am very happy to see that the half of you that belongs to humans occupies the dominant position. In my opinion, you are far more worthy of respect than your father."
"Don't worry, although Michael's death is directly related to your father, [Heaven] will not be angry with you because of this…
And in this matter, [Heaven] owes you a favor, I will remember this, and if you need help in the future, [Heaven] will extend a helping hand to you."
Speaking of the end, Remiel's face showed a determined look, "Since your father wants to provoke a war, then [Heaven] will give him a war!!"
"Archangel, please wait a moment."
Just as Remiel was about to leave, Daimon Hellstrom said with a smile: "That… can you pay back the favor you just mentioned now?"
"Ah?"
Remiel paused, and looked at the Son of Satan with puzzled eyes.
"It's like this, in order to obtain my father's… cough cough, that is, Marduk Kurios's true intentions next, my sister previously returned to [Hell] at the risk of her life."
Daimon Hellstrom said with burning eyes: "Heaven never disappoints those who have a heart. Not long ago, Satana successfully sent back an amazing message, saying that Marduk Kurios is preparing to send the [Flame Legion] to invade the Earth on a large scale after the 'Gate of Heaven' is permanently closed!!"
"What?"
Remiel's golden pupils suddenly widened, and then he muttered while pinching his chin:
"If that's the case, it can be reasonably explained why Marduk Kurios is willing to risk a full-scale war and send that human black wizard to assassinate Michael."
But the next second, he shook his head helplessly again.
"Sorry Daimon, I'm afraid [Heaven] really can't help you with this."
Remiel raised his hand and pointed to the huge gate that was slowly closing in the sky, "It's too late to say these things now, because the insurance mechanism of the [Truce Agreement] has been automatically triggered,
The dimensional passage connecting the Earth will be completely closed immediately. At that time, no angel will be able to go to Earth in its main body, even I am no exception, so…"
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw Daimon Hellstrom on the opposite side take out a string of colorful "Hyperspace Bracelets" as if he had been prepared for a long time and handed it over.
"This problem is easy to solve. As long as you bring this bracelet with spatial positioning function back to [Heaven], when the [Flame Legion] invades the Earth, we can ask the mages of [Kamar-Taj] to help temporarily create a teleportation gate to [Heaven], so as to catch Marduk Kurios off guard."
"This…" Remiel suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
It's not that he doesn't want to help humans resist the hell army, but Daimon Hellstrom's method has a huge risk.
That is, once he brings this bracelet with positioning function back to [Heaven], it also means that the [dimensional coordinates] of [Heaven] are officially exposed to others.
If it is obtained by some people with ulterior motives in the future, it may be a disaster for [Heaven]!
However.
But when he saw the expectant expressions on the faces of Damon Hellstorm and the others, he felt a little hesitant.
Because, in the end, this never-ending war between [Heaven] and [Hell] was actually a civil war within their [Heaven].
Humans were more like innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire!
In addition, the [Kama-Taj] mages had a good reputation in the industry and most likely would not leak [Heaven]'s [dimensional coordinates]...
After a moment's thought, Remiel finally accepted the "subspace bracelet."
"Alright!"
