After the awakening of the Moon Embodiment, the relationship between the Hero and the Depraved Hero underwent a dramatic change.

The Depraved Hero was once a product of the curse, a manifestation of depraved destiny, something that should be exterminated.

But after the Hero chose to accept her, she became another self of the Hero, both the source of negativity and evil and a collection of different possibilities.

Essentially, the Depraved Hero is not another personality of the Hero but rather two sides of the same coin.

The emotional origins between them are interconnected; the choices they represent may differ, but ultimately, they are one entity.

The things the Hero likes, the Depraved Hero doesn't detest, and the things the Depraved Hero loathes, the Hero doesn't care much either.

However, the reason the Depraved Hero actively left the Illusion Realm wasn't that she was entirely uninterested in the history of angels.

"Hmph... I guess so."

Without much effort, with her blue eye open, she found what she wanted to confirm.

It was a statue hidden in the corner of the church, located in the shrine, seemingly once worshipped as a divine statue.

The intricately carved statue depicted a familiar face to both the Hero and her.

Gazing at the statue, the Depraved Hero's expression was complicated, raising her fist as if to smash it but ended up sighing and lowering her hand.

♛: What's written? Can't understand

"Forget it, smashing it is pointless." The Depraved Hero curled her lips while staring at the statue.

The statue had become dilapidated over time, but the inscription below was still discernible.

"And what the hell is written here, human language of the time? Can't understand at all."

Not bothering to study what's written, she wandered within the confines of the mural's radiance.

Meanwhile, as the Depraved Hero wandered, the Hero in the Illusion Realm continued to focus on watching the historical playback.

"Was the King's approach truly correct?"

An angel uttered a distressed voice, his wings not only pure white and broad but also shrouded in eternally unending radiance.

This was the light of rules, a testament that this angel had touched the truth of the world, possessed the Wings of Logic.

Yet, even such an Upper Angel couldn't hide his confusion at this moment.

"According to the current situation, predicting the integration rate of half angels and humans, within a hundred years, all newborns in the city will become half angels."

"...Isn't that what we want?"

Opposite him, a tall human showed a bitter smile.

"The citizens are also very pleased; almost no one would refuse a half angel as a spouse."

He wasn't wearing luxurious attire, only covered his body with pure white silk, his upper body revealing marble-like perfect muscles, his charm not losing out to the Upper Angel opposite.

He is the leader of earthly humankind, although not a zealot, and without the title of king, his status surpasses that of the clerics in the Heavenly City.

"Now many citizens have even lost interest in their fellow humans and are eagerly awaiting the new generation of half-angels...waiting for the King to assign them companions."

Half-angels are born with the benevolence of angels and yet retain the softness of humans.

Moreover, compared to angels with guidance duties, half-angels as a lower species have a stronger obedience, and almost never question the King's orders, nor do they feel superior in front of humans.

Under the King's decree, half-angels willing to pair with humans are considered the most coveted and perfect companions.

"The citizens are not wrong; as long as they are human, anyone would find it hard to resist such temptation. There is no harm in it, but, in this way..." The archangel grew increasingly troubled.

Humans only pair with half-angels, and the newborns will also only be half-angels, no more new human infants will be born...

The final outcome is predictable.

"Yes... in this way, humanity will become extinct while you are still alive."

The leader of earthly humans looked at his friend, a longevity species, and sighed.

For a moment, both fell into silence.

But the argument did not cease.

"The King's single wing is dyed black, not out of grief, but because he desires the sin of human extinction?"

"How could this be extinction or sin!? The citizens are very willing, and the new generation of half-angels is undoubtedly stronger and more superior than humans!"

"But this is merely the result of inheriting angel blood, half-angels can never be stronger than angels!"

"It's laughable, can humans ever be stronger than angels? Even after establishing city-states, humans are still so weak; without the guidance of angels, how long can they survive in this world?"

"Even now, without angels, humans are enough to contend with the Demon King!"

"Demon King? Haha, what is a Demon King? Look at that Cursed City, do you want to become like those seedbeds, reduced to livestock raised by magic creatures? Without angels, that is the fate of humans!"

"It might be better to abandon the incompetent human lineage and introduce the angelic radiance! —— This is certainly what the King desires! It is the King's decision!"

"The King requires purer faith, and many half-angels can accomplish this."

"Even sacrificing Big Goblin Priest himself could only partially open the gates, only more and purer faith can perfect it——all for our earthly heaven's ideal."

"But is it really necessary to offer up the future of the human race?"

"Humans and angels are different independent existences, and half-angels can only be vassals to angels."

"Humans can defy angels, but half-angels cannot defy angels of the upper species."

"But it is precisely because humans do not obey angels' instructions that so many sins arise."

"Yet, wasn't the reason angels protected humans in the first place because they saw their uniqueness and potential?"

While the Capital in the clouds rejoiced at the newborn half-angels, and earthly city-states eagerly awaited the descent of the half-angels, undercurrents of thought flowed more intensely in secrecy,

doubt, affirmation, denial, expectation... The undercurrents of thought formed a huge vortex, gradually swallowing everyone into it.

But as time passed, the number of newborn half-angels increased, and the atmosphere of the earthly city-states gradually shifted to unified anticipation.

"Say, don't you think those half-angels, though beautiful, look like they were all carved from the same mold? Moreover, they don't seem very intelligent..."

"Isn't that enough? Do you still want them to bury their heads in study like your girlfriend, researching those Stigmata with you?"

"Half-angel, hehe, half-angel..."

Despite people's lingering doubts, no matter how many suspicions and concerns, a fact remains unchangeable—humankind is protected by angels.

Therefore, neither humans nor angels know how to dispute the actions of the Four-winged King.

If the King's decision is wrong, then what is the right path?

Without adhering to the guidance of angels, where would humanity head?

This city-state, having reproduced for several generations under the protection of angels, is undoubtedly a symbol of human civilization at the time. Compared to those tribes still in exile, their lives are already extraordinarily happy.

Does a more correct path than the guidance of the Angel King truly exist?

The tide of doubt gradually subsided, and both angels and humans began to accept extinction as an inevitable conclusion.

It was at this moment that a flicker of fire blooming in the distant east revealed a new answer to people.

The news caused cities above and below to boil.

In the Barbaric Land of the East, the pitch-black Sun was swallowed by the erupting earthfire.

The Great Demon whom even the Angel King feared, the Fallen Phoenix, was defeated.

The one who defeated it was a human.

——A human known as the Hero.
