Chapter 354 - Greater Prophecy Spell (1/2)

A thought popped into the minds of everyone present. They all wondered if the darkness they had brought up was referring to the evil that was Lu Xuan or their age-old adversary.

They wondered if the term included other cultivation forces, as well.

After all, Abrahamic faiths did have a habit of labeling those who believe in any other faiths as infidels.

Many began to instantly regret being present.

A lot of people had disregarded the Roman Curia since they saw themselves as extremely powerful beings, and that the Roman Curia would not have bothered the handful of those people. If something were to go wrong, there were still over 100 Airborne Realm beings present nonetheless. That was more than enough for them to overrun the place.

It would have even gotten to the point where the Roman Curia would probably not be able to keep the 100 Airborne Realm cultivators from tearing the place down. Any contingency plans that they had in place would be useless.

However, things would be completely different if that angel of an unknown level of powers were to advent.

Several people were lurking in the shadows in the midst of the crowd, glaring at Pope Innocent with an eerie expression.

If someone were to pay close enough attention, they would have found them to be very different from common folks.

The dark aura they emanated marked them all as members of the Covenant of Darkness.

They were all ancient adversaries of the Roman Curia.

Their knowledge of the angels was far beyond that of common folks, as well.

“Angels eh? I wonder if it will have two wings, four, or maybe even six,” Someone mumbled.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

As the ringing of the bell spread far and wide, Pope Innocent announced, “We shall hereby bear witness to the advent of the angels.”

The crowd saw a huge gate appearing out of nowhere above the plaza of St. Peter’s Basilica. Somehow, it looked like a gate of some city in the clouds.

Once the huge gate opened, everyone watched as a huge figure gradually appeared on the other side of the gate.

Countless people immediately gasped right there and then. Several devotees from all over the world would kneel at the sight of such a majestic being.

There were even several political figures who, regardless of the depth of their faith, were instantly shocked by the sight. All of them felt compelled to kneel.

That figure was far taller than normal humans; standing at over three meters tall, the figure looked like it was the height of two grown humans. The figure was also completely shrouded in light. There was a pair of wings growing from its back, allowing it to emanate a regal and divine presence.

“The angel! The angel has advent!”

While devotees from all over the world cheered, all of the cultivators present simultaneously felt a chill running down their spine. They felt goosebumps all over their bodies as they sensed that extremely terrifying aura emanating from that angel.

That was some kind of tremendous pressure.

It was an aura that belonged to only the most formidable beings.

Every single fighter present quickly realized that while the angel only had two wings, it was still most probably more powerful than any of them.

That tremendous pressure beating down on all of them made them feel unwell almost immediately.

The devotees, on the other hand, hardly felt anything as they instantly got on their knees.

Even Pope Innocent and the Eight Knights of the Faith each had one knee on the ground as they received the angel.

The two-winged angel took a look at the crowd with an aloof and cold expression on its face. It did not find the presence of fighters from all over the world to be out of place at all. It became apparent that the Roman Curia had somehow secretly communicated with the angel before it would advent.

The two-winged angel emanated tremendous pressure on purpose but quickly rescinded its powers, making it apparent that its powers were limited by the laws of the world.

Then again, the angel remained unimaginably powerful to even the Airborne Realm fighters.

Everyone was shocked to find that despite having its powers limited, that two-winged angel’s power still eclipsed that of everyone present by a significant degree.
