Chapter 671: Chapter671-Twenty-Four Principal Angels, One Hundred Thousand Divine Revelants
Within the void of the Star Sea, the angels were wailing.
All that remained of them were blood-soaked skeletons. Their holy bodies and holy souls were still burning.
"He is trying to completely enrage the Truth Universe!"
"What exactly is His Majesty Aurek trying to do? This will bring a catastrophic crisis upon the Divine Court!"
Primordial Elder let out a bitter sigh.
The Lord of the Star River and the others stared at the dozen or so bloody skeletons nailed into the void, and they understood that this punishment was not only a warning, but also a deliberate provocation.
It was a direct challenge aimed at the angels descending from Heaven.
What they could not understand was this: why would Aurek, whose power was only at the Divine Revelant level, do such a thing?
If he knew that that angel had summoned one hundred thousand Holy Angels, would he regret it?
Of course, given their status and strength, they had no power to influence any of this.
All they could do was wait for fate to pass judgment.
...
The battle in the Primordial River Cosmos continued for another three days.
Raphael had exhausted every method at his disposal. His holy body had even been shattered once, and he was gravely wounded.
Then, at a certain moment—
a boundless golden holy platform descended, enveloping the entire Primordial River Cosmos.
Holy light cascaded downward like golden swords billions of meters long.
Sacred and supreme hymns rang out across the universe.
Whether in the Primordial River Cosmos, the region of the Truth Universe, the Land Without Beginning, or the countless star domains around the endless Isles of Starlight, every living being at that moment felt an indescribable pressure.
It was the River of Fate feeding back the weight of their destinies.
Separated by the Endless Starfield, they could not see what was happening in the Primordial River Cosmos. They could only infer something from that overwhelming pressure.
Primordial Elder and those other taboo-level powerhouses could step into the River of Fate and use it to spy on what lay ahead.
"They have come!"
Amethyst felt a suffocating oppression unlike anything he had ever experienced.
Within his golden eyes was a fear so dense it could almost congeal.
"So they have come after all?"
Rockmount Sage and the other powerhouses, along with geniuses such as the Lord of the Heavens and the Envoy of Desolation, all raised their heads to stare into the chaotic Star Sea.
That invisible pressure made them feel unbearably stifled.
The Isles of Starlight were separated from the Primordial River Cosmos by an immeasurable distance. Even across countless star domains, the pressure still made them feel such discomfort. One could well imagine just how terrifying and powerful the arrivals must be.
"As expected."
Banami’s eyes turned cold and heavy.
"The only question is who exactly has come this time."
A Child of Commandment at his side asked curiously.
Banami said nothing. He stepped directly into the River of Fate, shattered the boundaries of one star domain after another, and rushed toward the Primordial River Cosmos.
The Sage of Equilibrium, Patriarch Amir, the two taboo existences of the Arcane Godsea, and the powerhouses from the Land Without Beginning also moved toward the Primordial River Cosmos, wanting to see what was happening there.
But before they could even approach, an invisible holy force pressed down upon them, and none of them dared take another step forward.
...
"There are actually twenty-four Principal Angels!"
"Holy Light above! The Lord has heard our prayers!"
Raphael was overwhelmed with joy, his heart surging with excitement.
Boom! Boom! Boom—!
Pillars of light descended as though they were about to pierce through the Star Sea itself. A full one hundred thousand beams of holy light fell at once into the chaotic sea of the Primordial River Cosmos.
Golden radiance poured down like liquid, dyeing the entire chaotic sea into a storm of gold.
Holy hymns rose and fell one after another. Chants and bell-tones intertwined, echoing and flowing through the star domains, while wave after wave of sacred sound spread outward.
Within that holy light, one hundred thousand Holy Angels stepped forth!
That vast and sacred aura covered the heavens and the earth, and the entire Star Sea trembled.
"Amen!"
The instant the one hundred thousand Holy Angels descended, the heavenly phenomenon of the Star Sea slammed into the boundless Star Sea, causing countless star domains to quake violently.
"They’ve arrived!"
The moment Banami saw the phenomenon spreading across the Star Sea, his pupils contracted violently, and he retreated at once.
...
"Amen!"
Looking at that holy radiance phenomenon, Raphael finally let out a long sigh of relief.
"Aurek, your end has come! For what you have done to my kin, I will make you repay it a thousandfold—ten thousandfold!"
Raphael thought coldly to himself.
Aurek indeed had a Godtouched subordinate, but only at the Low stage.
And among the twenty-four Principal Angels who had descended this time were supreme beings from Mount Zion—existences at the Mid and High stages of the Godtouched rank!
Though it seemed to be merely a difference of minor stages, in truth the gap was immeasurably vast.
Without a heaven-defying divine artifact, a Mid-stage Godtouched could effortlessly crush a whole host of Low-stage ones, while a High-stage Godtouched could likewise slap a Mid-stage one to death with ease.
One could well imagine how terrifying this host of angels was.
The one hundred thousand Holy Angels were no simple beings either. Every one of them ranged from Low-stage Divine Revelant to Supreme-stage Divine Revelant.
Using such a force to deal with a mere lower-world faction was nothing less than using a butcher’s cleaver to kill a chicken.
...
Within the Supreme Sanctuary, Aurek suddenly opened his eyes.
Several void warlocks stood respectfully outside.
"Your Majesty, everything has been prepared."
One of the void warlocks made his report.
"How many warriors have been deployed to the Primordial River Cosmos?"
Aurek asked.
The void warlock replied, "Six billion!"
"Every corner has been filled with warriors of the Divine Court. The one hundred thousand Holy Angels just happened to descend at the very center."
Six billion Godtouched-ranked void warlocks and Doomsday Warriors had long since followed Raphael in secret all the way to the Primordial River Cosmos, scattering themselves throughout the area.
Six billion...
Aurek considered for a moment, then said, "Mobilize one hundred million troops."
Then he added, "No—forget that. One million will be enough. We should give them a little hope to struggle."
As the twenty-four Principal Angels descended, thunderous roars shook the heavens, and boundless holy radiance surged wildly into the Primordial River Cosmos.
The twenty-four Principal Angels all had different forms as they stepped out of the ever-condensing heavenly phenomenon of the Star Sea.
Some were wreathed in the brilliance of the sun and moon. Some bore dragon shadows billions of meters long behind them. One eight-armed angel held various divine artifacts in its hands. Another carried an ancient Tree of Wisdom upon its back...
They were the famed Twenty-Four Principal Angels of Mount Zion—
the Archangel, the Solar Angel, the Lunar Angel, the Angel of Sacred Sound, the Angel of Freedom, the Angel of Titanic Strength, the Guardian of the Ancient Tree of Wisdom, and the others.
Empowered by the Star Sea force evolved from Origin Relics, their combat power was unmatched.
Even the laws and order of the boundless Star Sea were nearly unable to bear their presence.
"Greetings, Lord Archangel!"
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Raphael performed a holy salute toward the Archangel.
"Raphael, what exactly has happened here?"
The Archangel and the other twenty-three Principal Angels, each in a different sage-like form, all turned their eyes toward Raphael and the few remaining angels.
When Mount Zion had first learned of the existence of this Star Sea, it had dispatched Raphael to spread the holy gospel and transform this world into a dominion of Heaven, thereby strengthening Heaven’s destiny.
But what had happened in the end?
Not only had Heaven’s destiny failed to grow—it had suffered considerable losses instead.
And even more unexpectedly, Raphael had issued the highest-level restricted request for reinforcements.
Raphael said, "Lord Archangel, please look!"
With one motion, he tore open the River of Fate, spanning the Endless Starfield directly to the Tablet of Destiny at the endless Isles of Starlight.
The twenty-four Principal Angels and one hundred thousand Holy Angels all looked over at once.
In an instant, every angel’s gaze froze.
Before the Tablet of Destiny, seventeen angels had been pierced through from head to toe. Their flesh had been torn apart, their holy bodies and holy souls were burning, and desperate wails of agony were pouring from their mouths.
The entire host of Holy Angels was immediately filled with towering fury.
"How could this happen?"
"Who dared do this? How could he dare?!"
Flames seemed to blaze from the eyes of the Guardian of the Ancient Tree. His High-stage Godtouched holy power erupted violently, so powerful that even Raphael’s holy body shuddered.
Raphael hurriedly said, "There is a faction in this world called the Crossbridge Divine Court. Its ruler is named Aurek, a man whose slaughtering nature is beyond measure."
"He not only obstructed our spreading of the holy gospel, but before our very eyes, he used such cruel means to torture and massacre our kin."
