At the sa ti, at the border of the Angel Race.
This is the frontline of the clash between angels and the Demon Clan, scorched earth covers the wilderness, and the air still carries the presence of demonic and angelic aura.
Kieran Sinclair stood suspended before the array, his silver armor stained with blood, eyes cold as ice, watching the Demon Clan retreat like tides into the murky mist.
He didn’t know how many tis he had repelled the Demon Clan’s attacks!
"Lord Sinclair," an angel lieutenant stepped forward respectfully, reporting in a low voice:
"The grandest inheritance eting within the race is about to convene."
"The Demon Clan’s current retreat will take at least a few days before they can regroup for another assault... Do you wish to return to the Holy City for the eting?"
The lieutenant’s eyes showed admiration for Sinclair, akin to gazing at a deity descending from the abyss.
In tis when the Angel Race was on the brink of defeat from heavy assaults by the Demon Clan, Sinclair appeared suddenly as a teor—
Starting from Totem Tier One, he broke through constantly at an astonishing speed, eventually reaching Totem Ninth Tier, becoming one of the top five peak beings in the current Angel Race.
Moreover, with his unparalleled combat prowess and outstanding military strategy, he forcibly stabilized the faltering front line.
At this mont, Sinclair rely shook his head, his gaze still fixed on the distant swirling demonic mist.
Although this is an unprecedented gathering for the Angel Race, and it concerns the future direction of the race.
He has no intention of participating.
After all, he is not from this world.
Therefore, such matters do not pique his interest at all.
"Forget it, I’m not good at these things, I’d rather stay with you in the camp."
In essence, this inheritance eting within the Angel Race is akin to a political struggle.
Except for him and the Judge staying out, each of the other three Totem Ninth Tier Angels has chosen a successor to support.
Whichever successor wins first in the contest, their Guardian’s status will undoubtedly be elevated.
But for Sinclair, it doesn’t matter who becos the leader of the Angel Race.
His desire is simply to hone his strength on the battlefield, to reach the pinnacle of power.
Then leave this world and return to his holand.
Regardless of which successor wins, it would not impact his unwavering determination to confront the Demon Clan.
He will continue to uphold the role of the Grand Marshal of the Angel Race.
Nearby, the lieutenant also understands his lord’s thoughts.
Lord Sinclair is always detached from worldly affairs.
Perhaps his sole interest lies in fighting the Demon Clan and enhancing his own strength.
"Understood, Lord Sinclair!"
He replied softly, yet added:
"However, Lord Judge also asked to convey to you:"
"You’ve been tirelessly holding the front line recently, and with this eting, upon your return to the Holy City, you can completely disregard the events of the eting, just to relax and unwind."
"After all, even though you are a being of Totem Ninth Tier, you can’t keep your spirit perpetually tense."
"Lord Sinclair... actually, this is my thought as well."
"Perhaps take this chance to rest for a while?!"
Hearing these words, Sinclair was slightly taken aback and realized...
It seed like he hadn’t left here for several years.
Looking into the lieutenant’s caring eyes, he fell silent for a mont and finally nodded slowly.
"Alright, I’ve truly not returned to the Holy City for many years, and it’s good to take this chance to go back and see."
His tone softened, yet he did not forget to remind:
"But while I’m away, you must remain vigilant."
"The Demon Clan could counterattack at any ti, and should anything strange occur, report it promptly to ."
"Understood, Lord Sinclair!"
....
Elsewhere.
Concealed within a black robe to hide his human identity, Aster Grant successfully entered the Holy City, led by Laney.
Upon entering, he imdiately sensed an unusually fervent atmosphere within the city.
He quietly leaned close to Laney, asking softly:
"Laney, has sothing significant happened in the Holy City recently?"
Seeing this, Laney promptly assisted Aster Grant in gathering information.
Soon, Laney returned, carrying a hint of shock.
"Lord... Lord Aster Grant, the third Ten-winged Angel has appeared!"
"And all successors have gathered, the Angel Race is about to hold the successor selection eting!"
Speaking thus, her eyes carried unhidden admiration as she looked at Aster Grant.
Simply because....
In the Angel Race, there had always been only two Ten-winged Angels.
No successor to the third Ten-winged Angel had ever existed.
Hence, this eting could never be initiated.
And upon hearing the news she gathered, she learned that....
The appearance ti of the third Ten-winged Angel successor...
Almost coincides with Aster Grant’s ergence!
This also ant...
What Aster Grant often said, about having contracted a Ten-winged Angel as his Beastbond...
Is true!
Thinking of this, Laney’s heart jolted, her gaze upon Aster Grant grew even more respectful.
Upon hearing this news, Aster Grant almost imdiately deduced—
There’s over a ninety percent chance that the suddenly appeared third Ten-winged Angel is Lazuli!
And from Laney’s explanation, he finally realized the true significance behind the words "successor to the Angel Race"——
It represents the supre authority in the entire Angel World, whoever prevails shall beco the true ruler of the Angel Race, controlling the fate of the entire race.
However...
Lazuli’s Ten Wings, after all, were cultivated by him.
This "man-made" Ten-winged Angel could actually compete in the Angel Race’s highest successor selection?
Wait—
Aster Grant suddenly recalled sothing.
Listed among the cultivation requirents for Lazuli were three items:
[Divine Pattern], [Totem-level Demon Core], [Angel Fortune].
Divine Pattern, Lazuli already possessed;
Totem-level Demon Core, he had collected sufficiently from the nurous Demon Clan powerhouses he had slain recently;
Only the "Angel Fortune" item remains unfulfilled.
He used to believe that resolving the conflict between Seraphs and Cherubs would gather fortune.
But when the issue subsided, the system remained unresponsive, leading him to set Lazuli’s cultivation aside temporarily.
Until now, upon hearing Laney articulate the weight of the successor, he suddenly realized:
The so-called "Angel Fortune" might be referring to... the celestial fortunes of the entire Angel World?
And the fastest way to obtain this fortune might just be aiding Lazuli in ascending to the throne of the Angel Race!
Thinking thus, Aster Grant’s eyes glead sharply:
"Laney, is there a way for to contact Lazuli?"
eting Lazuli now is of utmost importance.
Without seeing Lazuli, all else is re talk.
Laney pondered for a mont before speaking slowly.
"Lord Aster Grant, all successors need to enter a specific Trial Space."
"However, before entering the Trial Space, there’s a preliminary phase."
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Aster Grant was slightly puzzled.
"Lord Aster Grant, before entering the Trial Space, there’s a competition involving the entire Angel Race."
