1490 Advent of the Divine Kingdom Part 1 (2/2)

I have to stop being an angel!

Rafel had never been so adamant in a decision. She heard that the elves had a way to deal with such situations, allowing them to switch bodies with other creatures.

While angels were definitely powerful in combat, their combat prowess suffered a sharp drop when dealing with other gods without protection of a god. They would fall so much that they became less capable than a common human warrior.

Her metal angels chose to believe in the God of Magic Net. When Dante emerged, their faith was converted to Dante. The metal angels were able to prevent themselves from losing combat prowess due to such pressure from the Lord of Glory. Rafel was the only one who was unable to help Saleen at all.

A true body at level 15 was completely different from a level 14 double. The level differences were huge.

In the swamps of Cloudflow, Van Gogh and Agares were getting ready to bait a god when a violent tremor appeared in space. Van Gogh's eyes flicked with red light. He was thoroughly flustered when he said, ”Agares, the god is here!”

”Where?”

”On Myers Mainland. Saleen's doing.”

Agares had no idea why Van Gogh was able to know that, but he knew that Van Gogh would not bluff.

”We'll leave right away. We'll help Saleen as much as we're able to. If we can't do much, we'll at least try to cut off one of the god's legs.” Agares' eyes filled with bloodlust.

”No need to rush. Saleen has already done what we were about to do. This time, not only will the Lord of Glory advent personally, he will link his divine kingdom with Myers Mainland as well. We've got our work cut out for us.”

Agares calmed. ”Head back to Misty City with me. I'll amass an army to invade the divine kingdom.”

”Your army won't even be enough to be cannon fodder for the angels.” Van Gogh quipped dismissively.

”Van Gogh, my family has been in charge of an empire for over 1000 years. You aren't being clear what we're actually able to do. I'll help you this time. If you do this on your own, you won't get anything out of it.”

Van Gogh did not say anything else. He was puzzled as to why Agares would help him in the first place. The emperor who was also an assassin did not seem to have even a slightest hint of compassion, and he did not seem to want to be friends with anyone. His entire life seemed to be dedicated to slaughter.

Slaughtering powerful beings seemed to be the only thing Agares found fun.

”Do you think that I'm trying to take something from you? Relax, the goddess placed quite a huge stake on you, and I'm not about to jump you before the goddess is done with you. I'd have to deal with a very terrifying god up close and personal.”

Terrifying god? Van Gogh did not find the Goddess of Myers terrifying at all. Regardless, the Lord of Glory was infuriated, and he had connected his divine kingdom with Myers Mainland. The goddess is definitely not going to sit this one out, right?

He'd join Agares' army taking on the divine kingdom. There was someone else probing what the god creatures are capable of for Van Gogh.

He was unable to continue advancing if he only had Jalin. His equipment could not be finished until he acquired 12 complete souls. He would grant eternal life to the humans who served as weapon spirits, and he would serve as the master of the souls.

It seemed workable with gods, too. Saleen had used gods as weapon spirits.

Van Gogh followed Agares without a word, emerging from the hideout. They rode abyssal magic beasts instead of flying as they headed for Misty City. Agares claimed that his family was wealthy in many ways, and Van Gogh was interested to find out just what an emperor possessed.

Saleen disintegrated a saint through sacrifice, offering it to a god.

The Lord of Glory had been very flustered and angered in his faraway divine kingdom. His double had been destroyed and a saint died shortly after. The saint's soul had been so pure that he would have been able to create a level 14 angel out of her.

The soul had been disintegrated, and nothing of value could be recovered.

Holy light glimmered on the Lord of Glory from his divine kingdom, shining light on over 1.2 billion square kilometers. All god creatures laid prostrate on the ground in fright, waiting for their god's orders.

The wrath of a god could result in the destruction of a nation.

The Lord of Glory was out to destroy an enemy's kingdom. The war horn had been blown high in the sky. Countless angels gathered. Two out of the three eternal suns were snuffed out as they were brought to an enemy nation by the Lord of Glory.

It had been many, many years, since the Lord of Glory's true body had participated in a war personally. The situation riled up all the god creatures who served him. They would never lose by following the Lord of Glory out into battle. It was the source of their powers.

The Lord of Glory had once killed level 16 gods, and this time, it was their time to prove their worth.

Bounty from their god after fighting every single war had always been very, very generous.

Saleen looked up at the sky and said lightly, ”Myers, I'm sure you're seeing this. A god is about to advent. Are you still going to keep your hands to yourself?”

The goddess watched the scene in frustration. She deemed Saleen's actions to be too reckless.

She had only been able to resurrect 12 angels, and there were over 100 followers waiting to be resurrected. If she left, she wondered what would happen to her followers.

”Damn you, mage. I shouldn't have let you hold onto so much power,” she thought. She never expected him to infuriate the Lord of Glory, the god who would be out to settle every single score there was. If his army of angels hit Myers Mainland, she would suffer serious losses.
