Chapter 552: Even the Angels are Insane

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After hearing the news, the expressions of the Great Elder of the Dark Association, Chief Elven Priest, and the rest of the group turned grim. A twelve-winged angel was not someone an ordinary Mid-level Deity can deal with, much less twelve of them! Faced with the battle formation formed by twelve-winged angels, the group would not have a chance of victory even if they attacked together. Their only hope was to rely on the God of Fire Raymond, who had abilities deep beyond comprehension.

“Sir Raymond, what do we do?” The Golden Lion Barker had a grave expression, his heart filled with unease.

Now that he had joined the God of Swords and the rest of the group in dealing with the Sea Demon King, he had basically announced the breaking of the Borg family’s relations with the Church. With the Pope’s insane personality, now that he had the help of twelve twelve-winged angels, he would definitely not let the Borg family off easily. In fact, he might take action on the Borg family first, killing them as a warning to others!

“Hmph, what are we afraid off, at the very most, we’ll all die together!” The Great Commander of the Dark Cavalries Barbosa clenched his teeth and said fiercely, “Even if every twelve-winged angel had abilities equivalent to someone at the peak of High-level Deity, I do not believe that they are impervious to damage!”

“Barbosa, it’s true that no one can truly be impervious to damage. However, even if we joined forces to launch a surprise attack, whether or not we will be able to approach a powerful twelve-winged angel is still a question!” The God of Swords had an ice-cold expression.

Every twelve-winged angel had abilities not paling in comparison to the Sea Demon King. The Sea Demon King was already that difficult to deal with, how would they be able to deal with twelve great angels that could complement each other in battle? The problem was even more serious if the other party had brought along a Divine Weapon from the City Amongst the Clouds!

“Great Twelve-winged Angels are powerful, but we do not have to fight it out with them!” Seeing that the group was filled with unease, Yang Ling voiced out his suggestion, pausing for a moment before saying, “We can send someone to attract the attention of the Great Angels and lure them into an ambush before attacking them. We can also lure them to the side, then concentrate our forces to uproot the Church. Without the support of the Church, there’s no way that the twelve-winged angels can deal with the alliance of us major factions with their strength alone. They would not be able to sustain it even if they managed to get the upper hand for a moment!”

Unlike the God of Swords, Golden Lion, and the rest of the group who had large families and businesses, Yang Ling did not mind the loss of a city or town. If he had no other choice, he could even move the entire population of the Magical Beast Territory into the Wizard Pagoda’s Space. As long as he retained his battle capabilities, he would have a chance of launching a fatal retaliation against the Church.

There was a way to deal with any attack!

He believed that as long as he set up multiple restrictions and fully made use of the environment and circumstance he was presented with, they could deal with the Angel Battle Squad!

Ambush?

Hearing Yang Ling say this, the Great Elder of the Dark Association, the Golden Lion, and the rest of the group had a glimmer in their eyes. In terms of individual prowess, other than Raymond, none of the people present was a match for a twelve-winged angel. However, if they managed to set up an ancient Magical Formation in advance, then gather the elites from the various major factions to set up a heavy ambush, it might be possible for them to defeat the Angel Battle Squad!

“Great Twelve-winged Angels are the main forces of the City Amongst the Clouds used to conquer other dimensions. They are highly experienced, especially small-scale squad of angels like these. They have vast battle experience and will not easily fall for an ambush!” Raymond extinguished the hopes of everyone present, calmly saying, “Under normal circumstances, small teams of angels from the City Amongst the Clouds are all equipped with a detection crystal which allows them to notice the ambush set up by their enemies easily. Unless it is an ancient Magical Spell Formation set up by an unparalleled fighter, there’s no way that you can escape their detection!”

“Sir Raymond, what do we do?”

Yang Ling knit his brows, realizing that things were getting more and more troublesome. At the same time, his heart was filled with questions. Judging from Raymond’s words, he seemed to be extremely familiar with the Angel Battle Squad from the City Amongst the Clouds. He was clear of the unique points of the angels, clearly showing that he had had dealings with the angels in the past. At that moment, Yang Ling became more and more confused about Raymond’s identity.

“That’s right. What do we do?”

“We can’t beat them head-on, nor can we lure them into an ambush, what else can we do?”

...

The God of Swords, Chief Elven Priest, and the rest of the group were extremely worried. If they were alone, they could have found a place to temporarily avoid the conflict and train for a period of time. However, nearly every one of them had a large number of clansmen or descendants behind them. There’s no way that they could quickly slip into a recluse. Their massive expenditure and use of resources meant that they could not just hand the resources and interests they had over to the Church.

“In the other major dimensions, the twelve-winged angels from the City Amongst the Clouds do not have that much of an advantage in terms of individual combat. However, with their massive numbers and extremely powerful Angel Battle Formation, they had managed to defeat many powerful opponents!” Raymond creased his brows, pausing for a moment before continuing, “Killing twelve twelve-winged angels is not difficult. But the key is to kill them with one strike so that they cannot request for reinforcements from the City Amongst the Clouds, so as to prevent a massive army of twelve-winged angels from descending unto the continent!”

Raymond did not care about who was the most powerful faction in the Tailun Continent, nor did he care about who got the largest territory and the most resources. However, he would definitely not allow a violent insurgency from happening within the Tailun Continent. Killing twelve Great Angels was not a difficult task, but it would be troublesome if he attracted even more angels and lured over the main angel army of the City Amongst the Clouds. Even if he managed to win, Tailun Continent might be reduced to a pile of rubble. In fact, the entire dimension might become covered in Space Cracks and torn to shreds by the violent Space Turbulence!

Why not summon the Eight Great Battle Generals serving under the King of Darkness?

The Great Elder of the Dark Association had a thought, then shook his head in frustration. He naturally need not have to fear if he managed to summon the elite forces acting under the King of Darkness; Unfortunately, with the current situation of the Dark Association, there was no way that they could produce enough Soul Energy to summon the elites under the King of Darkness.

The insane method of massacring millions of devotees under the guise of a rat plaque like the Pope had done was not something everyone can do!

“Three days later, we meet here and attack the Holy Mountain of the Church together. Seize the time to tend to your wounds and complete your necessary preparations! After a moment’s deliberation, Raymond deliberated no further, saying with an icy tone, “It would naturally be the best if the Pope is willing to reach a settlement with us. If he has completely lost all reason, then we’ll send him and the Great Twelve-winged Angels he summoned back to the embrace of the master of the City Amongst the Clouds!”

After letting out a cold grunt, Raymond turned into a ball of fire and left, vanishing into the horizon in the blink of an eye. Behind him, the Great Elder of the Dark Association, Yang Ling and the rest split up and got busy, preparing for the intense battle that was going to happen in three days later. In order to allow powerful fighters like the three head honchos of the Dark Association, Hydra, and the rest to regain their ability to battle as soon as possible, the Chief Elven Priest healed their wounds using her regeneration technique at the cost of her Divine Power, then left after leaving behind a few bottles of Water from the Spring of Life.

The Great Elder of the Dark Association, Chief Elven Priest, and the rest of the group were extremely worried, while at the same time, at the faraway Holy City, the Pope was extremely excited when he saw the line of twelve Great Twelve-winged Angels before him. After harvesting the soul of a large number of devotees, he was extremely confident that he would be able to summon the main body of a twelve-winged angel. However, he did not expect to be able to summon an Angel Battle Squad!

“The Dark Association, Magical Beast Territory, and that detestable Borg family, hmph, let’s see how you are going to die this time around!” Looking at the territory and resources he had lost marked out on the map, the Pope clenched his jaw in fury, swearing that he is going to snatch all of them back together with interest.

“Pope, I think that the Divine Decree explains our mission this time around very well! However, as an Angel Leader... I have to emphasize it to you another time!” A Great Elder wielding a giant golden sword had an electrifying gaze, pausing for a moment before continuing, “We are not going to care about the Church’s conflict with the other factions this time around. Our goal is to completely control the tunnel in Tailun Continent that leads to the Graveyard of Deities and Demons, so as to receive the main forces that are going to infiltrate the Graveyard of Deities and Demons. We will kill anyone who obstructs this mission, no matter who it is!”

“Sir Boykins, not to worry, I’ll order everyone to cooperate as best as they can!” The Pope paused for a moment before continuing, “However, according to the latest piece of information I received, the Dark Association and the Magical Beast Territory, using the support of the God of Fire Raymond, are disregarding the protests of the Church and have forcefully set up a giant ancient Magical Spell Formation at the northern glaciers, completely sealing off the tunnel leading to the Graveyard of Deities and Demons. They claim that without their permission, no one will be able to enter the Graveyard of Deities and Demons. If we do not completely annihilate them first, I reckon that it will pose a great problem for our plans!”

Through the Divine Decree, the Pope was clear of the mission of the Angel Battle Squad this time around. However, that does not conflict with his intentions to use this force for bathing the Dark Association and Magical Beast Territory in blood. Great Twelve-winged Angels are extremely powerful, but they had no choice but to rely on the Church’s strength if they wanted to establish complete control over the tunnel leading to the Graveyard of Deities and Demons in the Tailun Continent. Since that is the case, it was easy for him to make use of their blade to kill the three head honchos of the Dark Association, as well as the detestable lord Yang Ling.

“God of Fire Raymond, why does it seem that I have heard of that name before?” The Great Twelve-winged Angel by the name of Boykins knit his brows, repeated muttering the name ‘Raymond.’ Unfortunately, as a Great Angel Leader who has been battling in countless dimensions for tens of thousands of years, his memory bank was far too large and expansive. At that moment, he could not remember where he had heard or seen a person named Raymond, no matter how hard he tried. He shook his head before saying in an icy voice, “No matter who, we’ll kill anyone who obstructs us from carrying out our mission!”

“Sir Boykins, the Graveyard of Deities and Demons is going to open very soon. In order to guarantee that the mission will be carried out successfully, we have to destroy the Dark Association and Magical Beast Territory soon. The sooner, the better. The army and Spellcasters of the Church have already completed their preparations and can set off at any time. In your opinion, when would be a suitable time to attack?” The Pope did not change his expression, but he was extremely excited. He felt comfortable every time he thought about the scene where he was stepping on the three head honchos of the Dark Association and Yang Ling under his foot!

Having tolerated it for this long, it was finally time for his reckless revenge!

“Three days, three days later, our main bodies will have completely accustomed to this dimension. If we rapidly engage in battle when that time comes, no one would be able to disrupt our plans!” Boykins was extremely confident in his squad. In his eyes, the Tailun Continent is merely an ordinary physical dimension. It would already be a blessing if there was a High-level Deity here. No one will be able to stop the plan of the City Amongst the Clouds.

“Alright, I’ll give the order immediately. We move out to bathe the Dark Association and Magical Beast Territory in blood three days later!” The Pope was extremely excited. It was as if he saw the blood-soaked Magical Beast Territory and the Balark City covered in corpses flashing past his eyes.

He swore that he would not only completely destroy the Dark Association and Magical Beast Territory this time around, he was also going to capture the three head honchos of the Dark Association and Yang Ling to torture them, making their lives a living hell!
