"This! Heracles, you've gotten us into trouble now! Even we might anger the gods!"
Queen Fia said angrily, flicking her sleeves.
Everyone looked grave.
When encountering such things, there's nowhere to go for reasoning.
This is what gods are like - you don't even have the qualifications to negotiate terms in front of them.
Pendragon said through gritted teeth, "Damn it! This is truly infuriating. If they weren't gods, I would definitely cut them all down!"
Everyone was dejected.
Because they worried that this would also offend the deities of their own pantheons.
Heracles said helplessly, "Everyone, things have come to this point. We actually don't need to pay too much - just deal with some magical creatures. So what if we offend the gods? In this continent of gods, or even the entire world, who else can pose a threat to us?"
Hearing this.
Everyone felt a bit better.
Indeed, they were already the top-tier combat power and imperial forces below the gods.
They didn't need to beg anyone for help.
If it were internal strife, the gods of their respective pantheons wouldn't intervene either.
"Speaking of which, there is indeed a threat - the Five Great Evil Sages are trying to resurrect the Great Demon God Satan, but with their abilities, it's impossible to break the gods' seal."
Visaon, the Chief of Sages, spoke up.
Hell is controlled by Lucifer and other demon clans, belonging to the Great Demon God of the demon race, evolved from angelic bloodlines.
It can't really be considered pure magical creatures.
The true God of Magical Creatures is someone else.
That's the Great Demon God 'Satan' mentioned by Visaon.
An existence that gradually strengthened after becoming a magical creature.
The first Ragnarok was initiated by him, killing countless old gods.
Finally, he was defeated by the combined forces of the new divine courts, his body cut into five parts and sealed separately.
Heracles looked completely unconcerned, "That's nothing. His body is sealed in different divine courts, and the Five Great Evil Sages don't have the ability to resurrect him."
"I have other matters to handle, so I'll leave first. See you later."
Luo Ai'er said this and left directly.
Anyway, Gabriel told them to wait until Heaven had killed the powerful magical creatures in the wasteland before taking action.
...
Heaven's entrance.
Two brilliant figures stood atop the dome.
Gabriel looked down at the area where the Goblin King's city was located, full of confidence, "Everything has been arranged. We just need to clear these magical creatures for the church."
"Mm-hmm! Finally, we can avenge sister Harviel! Let that hateful Goblin King face judgment!"
Michael also said expectantly.
The two returned to Heaven.
Now, they just needed to wait for time.
And time passes very quickly.
In a flash, nearly two months had passed, and the great battle was imminent!
Inside the Goblin King's city.
Two streams of energy, one light and one dark, floated and gathered in the sky above the city like yin-yang qi, interweaving in a spectacular display!
One side was the aura of magical creatures, the other was the aura of hundreds of millions of holy-type goblin armies.
Lin Tian stood above the military city, his gaze sharp as torches, "Open the city! Form ranks!!!"
"Boom boom boom!"
Densely packed goblins as far as the eye could see, like seawater filling the entire military city.
Their movement was earth-shaking!
There was still one day before Heaven's gate opened. The formation had to be set up in advance, otherwise even the largest army would be wiped out directly.
They needed to form squadrons with orderly arrays.
Standing densely together, one enemy attack would hit everyone, and they'd all die.
Just like ancient siege warfare - why wouldn't a city with a hundred thousand soldiers dare to come out and resist when surrounded? That's the reason.
Formation is very important.
Angels mostly use large-area AOE attacks.
Alice stood atop the city wall, giving orders with imposing authority, "Ten thousand per squad, three hundred meters apart!"
This way, one squadron could withstand at least five attacks.
If high-ranking angels attacked, they'd probably all die in one hit.
But it would still be profitable - they could trade for one skill from the enemy's powerful fighters.
There were a full ten thousand ten-thousand-man squadrons.
Plus the entire demon race and fifty million conscripted regular magical creature sub-humans.
Among the regular magical creature sub-humans, most were elemental types, such as 'Lightning Bird Clan,' 'Lava Behemoths,' 'Venomous Ghost Spiders,' etc.
Angels had no resistance to their attacks - as long as they hit, the damage would be fully absorbed.
Most importantly.
Most of them could fly. If they couldn't fly on the ground, they'd purely become angels' playthings.
Living targets.
Including the holy-type goblins, except for the first batch of ten million, all the others had evolved wings under the insect clan's abilities.
Moreover, they were beetle-like wings with extremely high defensive outer shells.
"Heh heh, just waiting for you to come. The ingredients for my evolution to demigod..."
Lin Tian looked up at the sky, speaking with a sinister expression.
Waited so long.
Finally, it was within reach.
He had complete confidence in this battle, because he could still evolve during the process!
His strength would become incredibly powerful. All of this had been clearly seen in the life simulation.
Crystal clear!
"Swoosh!"
Suddenly, a rift was torn open nearby.
Lucifer slowly emerged, his face full of anger, "You actually took the Hell Tree's... this...!"
Just as he began to speak, his words came to an abrupt halt.
The surrounding sky-blocking, densely packed goblins and magical creatures formed an ocean that enveloped him!
Like a person sinking to the bottom of the sea looking up at the surroundings.
The entire space was filled with magical creatures - truly shocking.
Lin Tian's lips curved slightly upward, "Ready. What about you?"
This time Lucifer could no longer remain calm, saying in disbelief, "This kind of formation and scale is already enough to slay gods..."
Of course, killing true god-level beings would be somewhat difficult.
But killing ordinary true gods could definitely be done.
One strike might kill at most ten thousand, and they couldn't possibly have infinite power. At most, they could release twenty or thirty skills before becoming exhausted.
When the quantity of magical creatures causes a qualitative change, it's still very terrifying.
"My demon army is also about ready. Let me summon them now to help with the formation."
Lucifer said, looking at Alice.
He had previously led angels in an extremely powerful stance, crushing enemies and never learning to command troops in battle.
Professional matters should be left to professionals.
However, Lin Tian refused, "Don't rush. Your demon army, including you, need to hide well in Hell tomorrow, looking for opportunities to launch a full assault. If you come out now, it will definitely alert the angels."
Lucifer was slightly stunned, "That makes sense."
Then his expression darkened again, "What about the Hell Tree's fruits! How did you manage to pick them all! You even cut off a section of the Hell Tree! This is an affront to me!"
"Don't make such a big fuss. I'll help you capture Heaven anyway. Do you still need that thing then?"
Lin Tian no longer feared Lucifer as he had before.
There was some defiance in his tone.
Before him.
Was a carefully selected powerful army of one hundred fifty million! Enough to crush any force on this continent!! When the most perfect breed of goblins emerged, they'd be enough to crush any divine court!
Why should he still be afraid?
Lin Tian's current combat power was also approaching thirty thousand. Although he couldn't win in a fight, he could escape.
Hearing this.
Lucifer didn't dare to get angry, just felt somewhat displeased, "Hmph! What about the remaining demon fruits? Give me a few. I need to cultivate some top-tier high-ranking demons for this fierce battle to ensure victory."
He had wanted to pick fruits but found them all stolen.
That's why he came out directly to question.
But Lin Tian shrugged, "All eaten. Really sorry about that. If you had said something earlier, there would still be some."
Of course, this was a lie.
Lucifer's expression was gloomy. The current situation had completely overturned his view of goblins. He didn't dare use Dark Divine Words to control Lin Tian and test the truth.
He said helplessly, "You're quite capable, actually able to break my barrier. Well then, see you tomorrow!"
He then left the Goblin military city and returned to the Hell rift.
"According to the life simulation plot, evolving to demigod level would be very strong..."
Lin Tian said slowly, his crimson eyes gleaming in the dim environment.
Alice, One-Eyed Owl and the others also looked toward the storm-swept sky.
Waiting for battle to begin.
Deep night.
Time passed minute by minute.
11:59:50 PM, 51, 52, 53...
In the Goblin Royal Palace, Lin Tian and others were fully armed, waiting for Heaven's gate to open.
The number of soldiers was enormous. Even though the military city was quite far away, after forming ranks, they had covered the entire royal city!
That's why it was so shocking, like being trapped in the deep sea.
At this moment, Alice's sword had been sharpened to a menacing edge.
One-Eyed Owl also wore armor and knuckle guards, while Gob Rage and others surged with battle intent.
Sara was ready to summon the Three Lives Demon Armor for battle.
Gob Moon, Catherine and other support types stood in the rear, watching the sky intently. This was their first time personally participating in such a large-scale battle.
They were so nervous their palms were sweating.
Before, they had only handled logistics at most. Now they had to help on the front lines.
As for the dwarf and dragon clans, Lin Tian had told them they could choose to participate or not.
After all, this was a battle with extremely high casualty rates.
As for Georgia and the others, they were still deeply researching the Titan God Creation Plan.
As for Salliste, being a demon, to avoid being detected by angels and immediately putting them on alert, she had returned to Hell to wait for the right moment.
"It's midnight, already the second day. Are they coming?"
One-Eyed Owl said with a grave expression, looking through the densely packed magical creature formations toward the pitch-black night sky.
Tonight's moon was very dark.
So dark it was suffocating.
Lin Tian also stared at the sky above. If Heaven's gate opened, the brilliant holy light would definitely be visible immediately.
Unfortunately, there was nothing.
...
Heaven.
In the Angel Castle plaza, densely packed silver-gleaming angels stood in neat rows, exceptionally majestic and holy!
Gabriel sat behind the great army, dozing.
"Your Highness, Heaven's gate can be opened. We..."
Michael quietly approached the great seat and said.
Looking quite playful and mischievous.
Gabriel was awakened by the sound but wasn't angry. Instead, she said, "We angels do not launch surprise attacks at night. We must wait for dawn's first light - we are that first ray that illuminates heaven and earth..."
Her voice was incredibly resonant and shocking!
The angel army stamped their feet in unison, the sound like thunder!
Michael looked disappointed, "Is that so? Wuu wuu, I was so excited just now, thinking we'd march as soon as the time came."
"Enough. You're the Left Wing Archangel Commander. Don't act like a child. What we're facing are the most vicious magical creatures, the Goblin King..."
Gabriel's eyes revealed killing intent and anger.
Thinking of Harviel's death, she couldn't calm down for a long time.
They had killed countless magical creatures, demons, and enemies before, but had never seen magical creatures that could develop like this, that could become stronger through devouring and plundering.
Extremely vicious.
Michael completely missed the point, carelessly retorting, "Blah blah blah, I'm over seven thousand years old, not a child anymore."
Many angels here were over ten thousand years old, having experienced wars with demons.
But Michael's talent was strong. After being chosen by God to become an angel, she evolved to High-Ranking Seraph in a short time.
She wielded a very powerful exclusive mythical artifact, the 'Scale of Good and Evil.'
It was bestowed upon her by God.
Just like how Dark Divine Words were also taught to Lucifer by God, not an ability he gained through demon fruits.
The 'Scale of Good and Evil' could punish and reward based on whether the opponent was kind, righteous, or evil.
If kind and righteous, Michael would bestow grace upon them.
If the opponent was evil, the scale would tip, and that opponent's power could never exceed Michael's until the skill duration ended.
No matter what methods they used, they could never defeat or harm Michael.
Often, this could last a full hour.
In god-level battles, victory could be decided in an instant, let alone an hour.
"Goblin King... Lin Tian... your judgment is about to come!!!"
Gabriel's voice was full of anger as she stood directly from her great seat.
"Swoosh!"
Her face mask snapped down - battle ready!
Six pairs of holy, pure white wings without a trace of impurity gently flapped as she glided over the shocking angel army below to the front of the plaza.
Before a massive golden gate.
She only needed to push gently, and Heaven's gate would open.
"The time has come... Follow me, judge everything..."
"Rumble!"
The gate opened.
Gabriel's light-filled eyes shot the first ray of light into the mortal world!
...
Goblin King's City.
Lin Tian and others hadn't relaxed their vigilance all night. Under the black night, a ray of light appeared on the horizon, incredibly dazzling!
Gob Rage slowly moved his somewhat stiff body, saying in a daze, "Is it dawn?"
"No, they're here. All units, battle stations!!!"
Lin Tian flashed several times, leaping to the highest spire of the palace, staring intently at the horizon and shouting.
As Heaven's gate slowly opened.
Brilliant holy light gradually bloomed!
Like the rising sun before a mountain, tearing through the night sky, breaking the dawn!
"Hum!"
Sacred chanting began to resonate!
This was like the BGM that automatically played when angels appeared!
The world seemed to slow down a hundredfold and have its sound muted!
Breathing was exceptionally clear, even everyone's heartbeats were piercingly loud!
The pressure was too intense!
The moment Heaven's gate fully opened, it was like the midday sun - impossible to look at directly!
And at this moment, the rising sun on the horizon lost its brilliance, becoming so dim.
As if it dared not compete for radiance!
The angel army... had arrived!
