Cthulhu Gonfalon Chapter 268

The “angels” of the Sun G.o.d System were actually G.o.ds. Every time He conquered another G.o.d, He would strip that G.o.d of their clergy. But He would allow them to continue hosting related matters. He would turn them into His believers in the faith transfer station and named them beautifully, “angels.”

The powers of these angels were naturally lower compared to when they were still G.o.ds, but their basic powers were still there. There was not much loss in combat power either. As long as the Sun G.o.d did not directly take over the faith that they were responsible for, they could still battle.

Among these angels, the few who were strongest had medium-divine powers before turning. So even though their powers were indeed lessened, they were still at a similar level.

There were a total of four angels like this, and they were called the Four Main Angels under the G.o.d of Glory.

In comparison, only the G.o.d of Protection and the G.o.d of Heroes had medium divine powers in Sui Xiong’s little team. The others only had weak divine powers. And looking at their deity levels, they were completely situated downwind.

Luckily, there was no absolute correlation between deity and combat power. Although the G.o.ds of the Human G.o.d System differed greatly from good to bad, at least those in the elite team were all over-qualified in combat power. They could at least still hold their ground when facing this large batch of uncountable oracles led by angels.

Until the Four Main Angels joined the battle.

With a strike of thunder, the first of the Four Main Angels to move was “Sanction Angel.”

This angel was initially the G.o.d of Punishment, whose clergy was punis.h.i.+ng those who were guilty. He had a big build. He was wearing an electro-s.h.i.+ning armor, and in his hand was a long blade that had lightning flowing through it. He took one step and covered at least a hundred meters in distance, appearing near Sui Xiong.

Moving the long blade, he took advantage of the empty s.p.a.ce beside Snake Killer and went straight for Sui Xiong’s round body.

A few oracles from the Sword of Justice were yelling angrily as they used their big s.h.i.+elds to block the attack, but each one was. .h.i.t until they fell back along with their s.h.i.+elds. That long blade did not seem too wide or thick at first, but its power was shockingly strong. Even though these oracles had used all their energy, it was as if a praying mantis was trying to block a car. They were completely useless.

With a spark of lightning, the long blade drew across Sui Xiong’s body and cut open a long gash on him. There was unlimited lightning jumping around his wound, preventing it from healing at that instance.

Sui Xiong roared angrily, and he swung the Snake Killer back. At the same time, he used five or six tentacles to wrap around the angel as he planned to take down this sneaky villain.

But before his action was completed, there was a ray of blue. The then-G.o.d of River who was now “Flowing Angel” was already in front of him, waving the long spear and stabbing him with it.

Almost at the same time, the “Flaming Angel” who was once the G.o.d of Volcanoes and the “Love Angel” who was once the G.o.d of Healing were already there as well. One of them was swinging a burning tomahawk and the other was raising an ambilight staff. Both attacked Sui Xiong at the same time.

Four Main Angels grouping up on a G.o.d was indeed rare. Even G.o.ds with strong divine power would be very disadvantaged when being grouped up by four experts with medium divine powers.

But Sui Xiong’s situation was slightly better because he had many hands.

Or rather, tentacles.

It was very difficult to describe the situation at that moment. In short, Sui Xiong waved his tentacles around very quickly as he blocked the attacks that came from four directions. Although he had quite a few injuries, he was not beaten by the group a.s.sault by the Four Main Angels.

Not only that, but he even took the opportunity to entangle the Sanction Angel’s leg as he was blocking Snake Killer, and then dragged him down hard. He fell onto the ground.

“Wor!” He yelled out to through telepathy, “This fellow is Sanction Angel. He was the one who was in charge of the work of the Sun G.o.d Church burning female witches and killing dark creatures!”

Wor’s eyes suddenly turned red. The murderous intention in Him immediately surged, and that had caused all of the oracles around Him to go stumbling backward. He put His Black Blade back into its sheath as He made a weird pose, and rushed toward Sanction Angel at the speed of an arrow.

At this moment, the offensive and defensive parties were reversed.

The Sanction Angel’s powers were very strong, but since he had stumbled onto the floor, he could not react immediately.

The other three Main Angels could react instead, and they quickly helped out. But they were already stopped by other Human G.o.ds who also reacted in time.

Everyone on this elite team was good in battle. They understood the importance of this moment. Everyone immediately dropped their own skirmishes, and even with injuries, they came to stop the three remaining Main Angels with no mercy.

The Four Main Angels were the most elite team of the Sun G.o.d System, and they were also the most effective helpers of the Sun G.o.d. If they could kill or at least heavily injure one of them here, that would not only immensely help the war situation; it could also decrease the possibility of them returning to support the Sun G.o.d.

As for the fierce roar and violent vibrations that came from the direction of Sun Throne, They were confident that Their Highness would definitely not lose. As long as there was no help from these Four Main Angels, there was only the Sun G.o.d, and He would be killed under the sword of G.o.d of Light eventually.

The Three Main Angels were blocked at the same time. Even though they had spent all their energy they could not break through. At the same time, Wor had already reached the front of Sanction Angel as He removed His blade from its sheath.

Sui Xiong had already expected that the Sanction Angel was about to get up to block the attack. He raised his tentacle and made him lose his balance and stumble again; he almost held him up upside down.

As the black blade flashed, all of Wor’s murderous intention suddenly disappeared. His breath was also rapidly declining.

Without a word, Sui Xiong wrapped him with his tentacle and twisted Him tightly, as he sealed Him inside a bead and swallowed it in a go.

This cut of Wor was the ultimate skill He had trained hard for over many years. He gathered all His refined spirit on this blade, and all the anger and hatred all those years, all the obsession and persistence that He had acc.u.mulated for decades. All His divine powers and willpower gathered on this blade.

After swinging this blade, His body was emptied. He was even worse than the tired Hercules G.o.d who smashed the Divine s.h.i.+eld on the outer rim of Cloud City with a hammer. He was so weak that even a strong oracle could easily kill Him, let alone not angels who used to be G.o.ds.

That was why Sui Xiong had to protect Him first and wait until He recovered before they could talk again.

As for the Sanction Angel who received this cut, he was frozen. He was hung upside down without movement, like a piece of salted fish.

After a moment, a deep black blade mark appeared, traversing his entire body.

With the blade mark as a demarcation, his body slowly separated between the top and bottom.

For G.o.ds, it was not considered serious if they were cut into two as long as they could stick back together after the cut. As a matter of fact, their bodies would naturally heal under the functions of Divine Power without any special treatment and would recover very quickly as well.

But the Sanction Angel’s body did not recover. Just the opposite: the two halves of his body separated further and further, his Divine Powers rapidly decreasing. He quickly turned completely silent.

There were statues of the Four Main Angels that were wors.h.i.+pped in every medium in large-sized holy temples within the Kingdom of Holy Angels. Every day there were people praying to them. But right now, all of Sanction Angel’s statues had made a clear cracking sound at the same time. There was a huge crack line that slowly appeared, running from the left waist until the right rib cage. Then the top half of the statue slowly glided down and hit the ground heavily as it smashed into pieces.

All the priests and pastors of the holy temples were looking at the statues in panic. All they could see was the opening on the waist that was smooth as a mirror. It was as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.

After all of the statues were destroyed, Sanction Angel’s body finally lost all of its light.

Sui Xiong let go of his tentacle. This strong angel, who was the first to a.s.sault him; this strong G.o.d who was always pa.s.sionate about sanctioning and punis.h.i.+ng all that he thought guilty, fell onto the ground, just like that. He did not even struggle. There was no movement at all.

Dead.
