Chapter 1163: Chapter 4: Tempestuous Winds and Torrential Rains
On the battlefield between the Angels and the Void Primordial Demon, a gigantic machine suddenly appeared, launching a terrifying attack against the Void Primordial Demon the moment it emerged.
Its appearance not only puzzled Raphael, who guarded the Pleading Nation, but also surprised Lord Longyang and his Transcendents, who were waiting for the right moment to strike.
At least the target of this gigantic machine’s attack was the Void Primordial Demon, and Raphael did not reveal the doubts in his heart.
At this moment.
A ten-meter tall figure with considerable agility and astounding speed—the gigantic machine still showed no sign of stopping… It seemed born for battle, charging directly into the Void Primordial Demon’s ranks.
“Could this thing be a new unit from Heaven?”
From afar, Lord Longyang watched the gigantic machine dominate among the Void Primordial Demon, furrowing his attractive eyebrows, “I haven’t heard of Heaven having such a thing.”
Dong Zhuo squinted his eyes, watching all the while, without speaking.
Zang Jian suddenly waved his hand, and a sword shadow charged out, colliding with the beam of light shot by the gigantic machine, before swiftly returning.
The longsword was unharmed, emitting a strange brilliance.
Several Transcendents looked towards Zang Jian, and Lord Longyang spoke softly, “How is it?”
Zang Jian replied indifferently, “The red light emitted by this strange machine has considerable power, but it shouldn’t show this level of destructive force against the Void Primordial Demon.”
All present were beings whose lives had evolved to a high degree; upon hearing this, they quickly understood, “Are you suggesting that this bizarre machine’s attack, or the power of the red light, naturally restrains the Void Primordial Demon?”
Zang Jian nodded, “Only with restrained attributes can it reach this level of lethality.”
Lord Longyang wondered, “We have been in this gap for a long time… Even among us, no Throne has ever had the power to restrain the Elemental Demon. If this machine belongs to Heaven, it would mean It… has discovered a way to restrain the Void Primordial Demon?”
This is a question that no Transcendent present could answer… Yet the appearance of this peculiar machine made the situation mystifyingly simple.
“This machine naturally restrains the Void Primordial Demon, as if it was specifically created to deal with the Void Primordial Demon…” Dong Zhuo said solemnly, “Even a Primordial Level can’t resist this machine’s attack, it seems the Void Primordial Demons we’ve unleashed this time are insufficient to deal with this machine…”
“Master Dong?” Lord Longyang frowned and looked over.
Dong Zhuo patted his belly and said, “The interference from the Throne is already limited… Our attack on the Pleading Nation is meant to slow Heaven’s pace; since it’s not feasible, let’s do something else.”
Saying this, Dong Zhuo soared into the sky, heading toward the heights of Yunxiao—the Lord’s sanctuary! Following this, Oda, next to Dong Zhuo, also rushed up without hesitation.
“Audacious!!”
Seeing Dong Zhuo charging toward the Lord’s sanctuary, a hint of anger appeared on Raphael’s face… At this moment, this Angel of Life could no longer concern himself with the sudden changes on the battlefield, chasing after Dong Zhuo directly!
But at that moment, several sword shadows assembled into a circle of sword wheels, blocking Raphael’s path, while almost simultaneously, Lord Longyang also drew his sword.
A flash of vermilion red robes as Raphael’s robe was sliced away.
Lord Longyang then smiled faintly, “No hurry, the interference won’t last long. Why don’t you exchange ideas with this Lord… Zang Jian, stay out.”
“Yes.” Zang Jian just nodded, her sword wheels dispersed, transforming into five longswords that rotated and slowly swayed around her.
“Exiles of the world… Do you really think you can easily invade my Lord’s sanctuary?” Raphael sighed, “Have you forgotten my Lord’s Day of Judgment?”
“The Day of Judgment is notorious across many dimensions, how could this Lord have not heard of it.” Lord Longyang smiled slightly, “But I think, the one above the clouds, wouldn’t easily conduct a judgment within his own realm, right?”
“You will pay for your actions today.” Raphael sighed softly. The white robe it wore vanished, replaced by a suit of silver-white armor.
“Getting serious now, are we.”
Lord Longyang also restrained his smile, gently swinging the longsword in his hand as a brilliant red lotus bloomed beneath him.
“This is a sword technique practiced by a close friend of this Lord, later improved by this Lord and given a different name. It is called… Red Lotus Dirge.”
At this moment, red lotuses bloomed across the sky!
…
Unlike Dong Zhuo and Oda, the other three Transcendents did not follow.
They did not, like Lord Longyang, choose Raphael as their opponent—instead, taking advantage of the chaos, they snuck into the Pleading Nation.
“It’s been a long time since I last saw Lord Longyang make a move—seems like he’s truly found someone interesting… That damned queer.”
“Enough, our interference time is limited. Dong Zhuo thinks the Pleading Nation is unworkable, but I disagree… These Prayer Aggregators here are too pure and devout, too precious to remain. We can’t destroy them, but no one said we couldn’t steal them.”
“I agree… I suppose we have about fifteen minutes? While Lord Longyang and Zang Jian are holding Raphael, we should loot as many of these Prayer Aggregators as possible… Rohu Throne would love these Prayer Aggregators.”
While speaking, the three Transcendents suddenly sensed a twinge of uneasiness…
Within the Pleading Nation, where they were located, from an unknown time, a gray mist began to rise from the ground.
The gray mist instantly covered the area where they were.
The three Transcendents were not mere moners, and they quickly reacted… However, before they could truly respond, something swam within the gray haze.
It was a Golden Giant Serpent!
The three Transcendents were directly entangled by this Golden Giant Serpent!
“Just a mere snake monster!”
The three Transcendents tried to muster their power, wanting to break free from the serpent’s grasp… Yet the formidable power they relied on couldn’t shake off the Golden Serpent’s hold!
It wasn’t that their power was insufficient to break free… Rather, at this moment, their power was crazily weakening!!
“No, it’s poison! This gray mist is poisonous!!”
“We have transcended the mortal world, how could any poison still affect us?”
However… strands of black air crept up their faces at this moment, and within the blink of an eye, their cheeks began to rot!
Simultaneously, the Golden Serpent started to contract and coil its body, exerting pressure on them crazily!
“This… this isn’t the power of an angel… Who… who is it…” They looked around fearfully.
They saw amidst the dense gray mist, a graceful silhouette… gradually being clearer!
A woman holding a scepter, crowned with the Serpent Crown, whose gaze could captivate souls, approached slowly… Around her, several small golden serpents encircled her, seeming to elevate her body.
“You all, aren’t you too idle?” the woman said indifferently, “Staying snugly in the crevice, naturally no one cares what you intend to do… But currently, this place is under my watch, and these Prayer Aggregators are not for you.”
“Who… who are you?!”
A constant peculiar aura emanated from this woman’s body!
The woman, however, reclined backward, and those Spiritual Light Golden Serpents instantly intertwined, transforming into a snake chair to catch her body.
The woman covered her mouth with a slight smile, “Not knowing is fine, don’t assume ing out of its space means you’re omnipotent… Regarding power, you all know nothing. Leaving its space merely marks the beginning.”
Pained wails started to emerge from the mouths of the three Transcendents… At this moment, their bodies were rotting even more severely!
The stripping flesh made them appear like devils… In the end, the bodies of the three Transcendents turned into a pool of pus and blood!
“To finally inform you, this is not poison, but a plague.”
Amidst giggles, the gray mist gradually dissipated… Ultimately, on the streets of the Pleading Nation, only a few pools of bloodstains remained…
And the woman, at this moment, silently climbed onto one of the towers in the Pleading Nation — where the Angel of Life once played the harp.
But she didn’t watch the duel between Raphael and Lord Longyang, instead, her gaze was curiously fixed on the giant mechanical puppet slaying the Void Primordial Demons.
“This thing shouldn’t be God’s doing, otherwise there’d be no need to wake me…” The woman was increasingly puzzled, “What exactly is it, I haven’t seen it before… It seems solely targeting these Void Primordial Demons.”
The woman quickly settled down… For her, as long as no Transcendents came to invade the Pleading Nation, regardless of how many interfered with Heaven, it had little to do with her.
But if anyone dared to invade the Pleading Nation, however many came would be left behind, that’s all.
“Hmm…” The woman uttered a pleasing sound, akin to a moan, then she chuckled softly, “The new master… wonder if they’re someone who appreciates romance.”
As she spoke, the woman again covered her hand, lightly yawning, “There’s just less than a year left for this guardianship… Should be time to switch shifts, right? Been long since I’ve wandered other spaces…”
…
…
Before Dong Zhuo and Oda arrived at the sanctuary atop clouds, a batch of Transcendents had already e earlier — indeed, a batch of Transcendents.
Over twenty in total, they were the main force for rescuing Noah this time, each being a seasoned Transcendent, at the very least, had surpassed the mortal world’s limits thousands of years ago in normal space.
“Ha, the sanctuary’s exterior defenses have already been breached, they worked quite hard indeed.” Dong Zhuo descended upon the sanctuary, glancing around… no one was present, but traces of battle were evident inside the sanctuary.
The sanctuary divides into three heavens, and analyzing the situation, it’s very likely Noah is imprisoned in Eden on the third heaven… At this moment, the earlier-acting Transcendents had already broken through the first and second heavens and were currently attacking the defenses of the third heaven.
At this time, Oda covered his ear with a hand, his expression slightly tightened, and then he said sternly, “We need to move faster… Intelligence reports that Michael is leading his troops, returning from a world beyond Master No. 9.”
“He won’t catch up.” Dong Zhuo waved dismissively, calmly saying, “Regardless of this operation’s success or failure, he won’t catch up.”
As he spoke, Dong Zhuo did not proceed to the path to the third heaven, instead heading towards a certain spot in the first heaven area.
“Aren’t we going to assist with the third heaven?”
Dong Zhuo deceitfully smiled and said, “We have another mission.”
…
…
The only god they worshipped is the truly omniscient and omnipotent Holy Trinity.
Three days ago, more than twenty Transcendents were blocked by a man in a white robe, with the face of mercy and passion… The man who could single-handedly block twenty Transcendents holds a special position in Heaven.
The Saint Heir Jesus… he is of the same essence as the Father.
“Heaven is really a tough nut to crack.”
Faced with the Saint Heir guarding the third day, the Transcendents were calculating the remaining time while looking for potential to break through the Saint Heir’s obstruction.
“All of you, please leave, do not cause more destruction.” The Saint Heir sighed, “The Ark originally belonged to Heaven, and Noah took it without permission, making him a sinner. Today, Heaven has not chosen to declare war on you; to reclaim the Ark, is merely to capture the sinner…”
“Cut it out, only Noah can control the Ark. Without Noah, the Ark is nothing but a wreck for us. Besides… even if you are the Saint Heir, you can’t possibly stop all twenty of us, can you?”
The Saint Heir slowly said, “The interference will not last long, exceeding the time of interference will suffice… perhaps thereafter, I can leave some of you here to listen to the Father’s teachings in Heaven.”
“The Saint Heir is right, our time is indeed limited. However… our mission is merely to advance from the eve of the first day, the second day, to the third day.”
Hearing this, the Saint Heir Jesus seemed to have a realization, slightly furrowing his brows.
And at this moment, more than twenty Transcendents simultaneously erupted with immense power… the ripples of power even began to shake the entire space of Heaven!
“This is bad…” The Saint Heir Jesus’s expression slightly changed, “It’s double interference?”
No time to think, the Saint Heir stepped forward, and a mighty surge of divine power emanated from his hands.
The impact of the divine power did not take effect—or rather, just before it could take effect, the mighty divine power was already intercepted!
A gigantic hand!
At this moment, above more than twenty Transcendents, in the sky of the third day of the holy place, a huge fissure appeared… the hand stretched out from within this fissure!
The third day began to quake crazily!
The hand, after resisting the Saint Heir’s holy light, began to directly rip apart the sides of the fissure… a massive arm was extended from within the fissure.
These arms suddenly tore the fissure wide open, and at this time, a gigantic body was forcefully squeezing out from this narrow fissure—and at this moment the quaking of the third day intensified.
The Saint Heir furrowed his brows tightly, for he felt a rich aura of evil on this gigantic figure… Against the sanctity of Heaven, this aura of evil was vividly clear!
“The Evil God… Ahriman.” The Saint Heir’s expression turned grave, “I see, this is your backing… Archimedes conducted the interference, and you performed double interference to allow Ahriman to arrive?”
“And me!”
Almost simultaneously, a thunderous booming voice resounded above the third day!
Another fissure generated at this moment, and a colossal figure burst through the second fissure! This second figure appeared to be even more massive than the first figure… more massive than the ‘Evil God’ mentioned by the Saint Heir!
The Saint Heir’s expression once again grew solemn… the concern in his eyes deepened.
The first to appear ‘Evil God’ he recognized, and this second massive form he also recognized, “Not only Ahriman, but also… Cronus. Truly, you came prepared, deploying three Thrones including Archimedes.”
The Evil God Ahriman, source of evil in the Persian pantheon…
Cronus, the second-generation King of Gods in Greek mythology…
Facing these two ancient deities, the Saint Heir could not remain calm… and as waves rose in his heart, a flaw quietly emerged.
In third day, that towering giant Cronus suddenly threw a punch!
The hundred-meter tall King of Gods, its fist fell like a meteor… with one punch, the third day shattered!
Extremely destructive energy, like a storm, instantly swept through everything on the third day!
In Eden, It, sitting cross-legged, opened its eyes at this moment, with the Elysium before it shattered, flames rose all around, the land ablaze as if turned into Purgatory.
The two colossal figures descended on this crimson land, gazing down!!
A beam of golden light fell beside It, clearly it was the Saint Heir who had been holding off the Transcendents outside the third day… The Saint Heir arrived, worry written on his face, “Father, I did not expect the Evil God and Cronus to act personally…”
It shook His head, whispered, “Do your best, until the end, I too…”
The Saint Heir nodded, then glanced at Noah—Noah in Eden is free, but he cannot leave Eden, unless a stronger force forcibly pulls him out of the constraints of Eden—obviously, to achieve this, the Transcendents deployed three Thrones at once.
The Saint Heir slowly floated into the air, facing the Evil God and Cronus alone.
“Saint Heir, do you think you can resist us alone? Even if you are of the same essence as the Father, but… most of your power is gone, isn’t it?”
The voice of the Malefic God was filled with arrogance and conceit.
The Saint Heir paid no mind, merely opening his arms slowly, as a torrent of divine power flowed gently, calming the flames of Eden… This divine power seemed limitless, and it continued to rise!
Countless beams of golden light were now frantically cast from the Pleading Nation in the Yunxiao, melding into his body, causing the radiance of Holy Light to rise explosively once again… The surge of divine power reached a level capable of simultaneously resisting the Malefic God and Cronus’ force field.
This seemed to catch the Malefic God and Cronus off guard!
“What are Dong Zhuo and the others doing! Has the Pleading Nation not been destroyed yet?” The voice of the Malefic God rang out, full of anger, then roared, and his massive figure suddenly swooped down!
The battle between the Saint Heir and the Malefic God exploded in an instant… Yet in the sky, Cronus’ gaze was fixed on It, seemingly searching for an opportunity to strike, while simultaneously dismantling the power of Eden that imprisoned Noah, ready at any moment to whisk Noah away.
On the third day, the war between the Saint Heir and the Malefic God was earth-shattering… far exceeding the true capabilities of the Angels and Transcendents below the Yunxiao.
The flames of the earth were calmed, but the storm swept in once more.
Amidst the turbulent wind and rain, beneath It, a small golden serpent slithered slowly and finally arrived before It.
The golden serpent raised its body, flicking a red tongue, and spoke in a pleasing voice, “God, I must remind you that at this rate of consumption, the Pleading Nation might not reach the required volume for the next delivery. Or do you intend to pad the count with your children? It’s not the first time after all.”
“Thank you for the reminder, Lady Cleopatra.” It sighed, “I… will not abandon my children again.”
“Oh… So are you planning to act personally?”
It did not answer but stood up, looking toward the sky, and murmured, “Return.”
“Father?”
Even so, the Saint Heir felt an irresistible force pulling him from the battlefield, back into Eden.
Meanwhile, the light rising from the Pleading Nation gathered around It… The tremors of the third day instead settled down.
Seeing this, Cronus suddenly said, “Ahriman, it’s time to get serious!”
Saying this, Cronus, as tall as a giant, suddenly swung his palm down, reaching for Noah in Eden.
…
…
“This power is… Father!”
Raphael’s heart skipped a beat, but at that instant, a ray of red light flashed by… leaving a scorched red sword mark on its silver-white armor.
The alluring man in red clothing, wielding a sword before it, was even more troublesome than imagined.
“Looks like there’s not much time left… Brother Raphael, don’t lose focus.” Lord Longyang chuckled lightly, twirling his sword, causing the red sword lotus to bloom once more!
Raphael frowned slightly but looked toward the huge mysterious automaton that was blocking the Void Primordial Demon army… this machine had surprisingly halted.
…
It indeed halted, faced with the continuous emergence of Void Primordial Demons from the interference fracture, its gaze sweeping over these fissures.
[Analysis of time-space interference frequency pleted… Suggest executing time-space correction first… then exterminating the Different Kind… Decision… Suggestion approved… Begin correction]
Its chest armor slowly opened, revealing a shimmering Treasure Bead…
…
“This place is…”
The tremors originating from the third day extended all the way to the damaged first day — at this moment, following Dong Zhuo’s steps, Oda had arrived at a strange place.
A seven-story tower.
“Heh… The intelligence was correct, indeed the first day hides this thing.” Dong Zhuo scrutinized the tower before him and instantly crashed into it!
Like a mountain of flesh, his body easily smashed through the outer wall… without hindrance.
Dong Zhuo and Oda effortlessly infiltrated the tower — but here, there was almost nothing, only a high platform.
On the high platform, something seemed to be placed, exuding a peculiar luster.
“Revelation… I won’t stand on ceremony.” Dong Zhuo squinted his eyes, suddenly leaping up, reaching for the object on the platform.
At this moment, an ancient voice slowly echoed.
“The Eighth mandment… God said, thou shalt not steal.”
