1520 Believe in the Demons and be Blessed with Eternal Life Part 1 (2/2)

There was no longer any need for her to conserve her stamina, as she had consumed the soul of an ancient golden dragon. Her golden dragon form was no longer the incomplete, half-baked thing that it used to be.

The Winged Skull was exasperated and let the golden skeleton guard her, just to prevent them from being ambushed by the god creatures. Nailisi's endeavors brought about a 500-meter wide gap in the legion of angels, so they did not have to worry about being in danger.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were on standby in Lion City at all times. While Nailisi's legion fought the angels, all the units in the city had finished gathering. By the time the god creatures deployed their forces, three waves had already been sent from Lion City, amounting to a total of over 100,000 men, who all charged simultaneously at the gates of the divine kingdom.

The powers of the human armies were growing at frightening speeds at the moment. Even just a few years ago, gathering an army of over 100 thousand soldiers would have taken days.

More of the god creatures gathered outside the divine kingdom, waiting menacingly in the background. The supreme commander of the god creatures intended to kill over a million of the human soldiers, in order to open a gap in Lion City. As such, the commander raised the stakes and deployed over half of their forces, sending them all into Myers Mainland.

Abyrus, who was dumped into the Purgatory of the Fallen, pleaded to the void, which had Nailisi's face.

Nailisi's double, who was sitting on the platform, did not bother with it despite the fact that Abyrus had been pleading for quite a while. Evil powers continued to surge into its pure body.

Abyrus was in a state of complete despair and prayed to the Lord of Glory, hoping to reach its Lord Father and be saved. If it were to be able to leave that damned place, it would no longer harbor any thoughts of fighting on the frontlines and winning honors for the Lord of Glory.

Wars are indeed dirty affairs!

Nailisi's double heard Abyrus' prayers and opened her eyes suddenly, chuckling.

Abyrus heard the woman say, ”It's useless, angel. This is the Purgatory of the Fallen. Any believer who gets inside will fall. Unless your god has reached level 18, your prayers will fall on deaf ears.”

”Who are you?” Abyrus watched the lithe body on the altar, still harboring delusions. It thought that if it were to be able to entice that entity, there would be a chance for it to escape.

”I'm Nailisi, the demon dumped you in here. I'm her, and she is me,” the double answered.

Abyrus might have been soft, but it was not a fool. It was able to comprehend that the demon had a double right away. Despite the fact that doubles of gods and the original god were considerably different entities, they shared one trait—they would never betray their main bodies.

Abyrus' red eyes felt dry, and the tears that had been flowing from them dried up. It realized just how powerful its enemies truly were. It was no surprise why the Lord of Glory continued to refuse to lead the charge personally. The powers of that demon and the spirit were near that of its Lord Father after all.

If yet another entity of comparable powers ganged up on the Lord of Glory...

It was the first time Abyrus had doubted the Lord of Glory's powers since the day it had been born.

It was the beginning of its fall.

Nailisi's double was perceptive enough to notice it. She smirked and created a mirror, putting it before Abyrus.

Abyrus looked at its visage in the mirror and was totally frightened.

The seraph's handsome face was no longer around. Its naked body was divided into two colors, radiating from the center of its body.

It had pure, white skin and a vibrant red wing on one side, while the other side was covered with dark scales. The red wing was gone and was replaced with a dark grey one.

What frightened the seraph further was that the dark grey wing was filled with evil words cursing at its god.

It was the wing of a fallen angel. Those who betrayed its Lord Father did not all end up dead. Abyrus thought it was due to its Lord Father's compassion that they managed to live, but after looking at the other half of its body, a different thought was harbored in its mind.

It seemed that its Lord Father was unable to do anything about the fallen angels at all.

”Any thoughts of returning to the divine kingdom now?” the double of Nailisi asked gently.

24 Shackles of the Fallen behind Abyrus kept it chained. There was no joy seen in the seraph's eyes.

”I'm never going to betray my Lord Father!”

”I didn't say you need to betray him. This is just a little experiment. You can return to the side of your god and not do anything for us.”

Abyrus' grey wing shuddered. Deep down, it hesitated. If it were to return, it would be tantamount to treason. There was no way it could let the Lord of Glory see it while it looked like that.

”Just an experiment?”

”Of course. Now that you're captured and tied up, you're no threat to me. This is your only chance, angel. There are 12 purgatories in here, and I'm the easiest one to talk to.” Nailisi's double's smile turned even more gentle and beaming.
