Ten minutes later, the Holy City's Central Square.

Lanny stood at the front of the line, with the Angel Race's troops sternly ready behind her.

Lanny did not deliver a long and impassioned speech.

"Objective: The soon-to-bend Demon Race passage."

"Mission: Destroy it at all costs."

"Move out!"

After saying that.

Lanny was the first to spread ten wings and charged at the forefront!

...

At the same time.

Liu Ye was floating in the air, surrounded by a dim Fire Law.

His once magnificent armor was now covered in web-like cracks.

The left shoulder guard was completely shattered.

Exposing a skin-and-flesh wound deep enough to reveal the bone underneath.

Dark purple Demonic Qi crawled and eroded like living creatures at the wound's edges.

Blood flowed down his arm, staining the Holy Sword gripped tightly.

His eight wings, symbols of the War Angel's highest glory, had lost their former radiance.

The outermost two wings were covered with fine cracks.

He breathed heavily, each breath caused his chest to heave violently, pulling at dozens of large and small wounds all over his body.

Opposite him, three shadowy figures emanating terrifying Demonic Qi surrounded him in a triangular formation.

"Hehehe... War Angel, the title is impressive, and the bones are quite hard."

The center Demon General, the burliest, clad in menacing bone armor, spoke with amusement:

"But hard bones are the juiciest to chew, aren't they?"

The other two demons chimed in:

"Liu Ye, in this state, who do you expect to save you?"

"Your new little queen?"

"At this moment, she might be hiding, scared to wet her pants!"

"I advise you not to struggle anymore; at worst, we'll let you go!"

But Liu Ye did not respond to any taunts.

He didn't even cast another glance at the three foes.

His gaze went past them towards the Holy City, catching a glimpse of a silver torrent.

Almost instantly, he guessed who the silver torrent was.

However, he couldn't stop it.

He was at his limit.

Really... reaching his limit.

"Cough... cough... cough!"

Violent coughing ensued, a mouthful of golden blood sprayed out, mixed with bits of organs.

He could feel his Life Force and Power rapidly evaporating.

"Tsk, looks like it's truly the end for you."

"Alright, let's send you off then."

"Rest assured, your Angel Race's little queen will soon be joining you."

With those words, the three demons struck at once.

Almost at the very moment of their action, deep within Liu Ye's eyes, originally dim.

Suddenly ignited were two clusters of blazing golden flames that would burn everything!

Burning the essence!

This meant only one thing: he was in absolute despair!

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Where the four Great Angels fought, things were even more dire.

The Guardian Angel's eight wings, only four remained more or less intact.

As for the Judgment Angel, he had lost his sword-wielding right hand.

The other two Great Angels weren't in much better condition either.

And their adversaries...

Two Totem Tier Nine demons floated nearby, leisurely watching them.

"Pathetic, truly pathetic! Is this all the Angel Race has left? You're not even fit for a warm-up."

"Exactly! Isn't the Angel Race known for its strong combat abilities? How come you four have only this much?"

Faced with the demon's mockery, the four Great Angels' faces turned grim.

Yet, they were powerless.

The Angel Realm had never faced powerful foes, which led them to...

Be much weaker compared to ordinary Totem Tier Nine.

Additionally, they've long lived in comfort...

Rendering their combat prowess even weaker!

At that moment, the four exchanged glances, an unspoken understanding in their hearts.

Today, they might remain here.

However, at this very moment.

None of them chose to retreat.

Even though, each had supported different heirs in the past.

But now, past disputes were all set aside.

"Together, even if it means death, let's take them down with us!"

"That's my sentiment exactly."

"Charge!"

...

Not far from the Holy City.

A massive space vortex had formed halfway.

Like an inverted, rotating purple abyss in the sky.

Pure Demonic Qi dripped like liquid from the vortex's center, corroding the ground and issuing a hair-raising sizzling sound.

Around the vortex, stood dozens of Magic Stone Pillars inscribed with Demon Patterns.

And guarding the Magic Crystal Pillar, aside from the middle and low-tier Demon Race...

Were two terrifying figures whose mere presence slightly distorted the surrounding space.

Lanny's commando squad paid a heavy price to break through the outer defenses, reaching this core area.

The original team of hundreds was now reduced to less than eighty.

All were injured, nearly all at the end of their rope.

Upon seeing those two figures, despair instantly swept over them.

Totem Tier Nine!

Guarding the Void passage here were two Totem Tier Nine demons!

"Oh, little mice have come this far!"

"No, wait! They're big mice!"

One of the Totem Tier Nine demons' gaze fell on Lanny with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Originally, they were just here to prevent anyone from destroying this Void passage.

After all, this Void passage was to welcome Lord Demon God.

No room for any error!

But unexpectedly, there was now an unforeseen gain.

The Angel Race's queen had delivered herself right here!

"Your Majesty... we..."

The Angel next to Lanny's teeth chattered slightly.

This wasn't fear, but despair caused by an overwhelming power gap.

Facing one Totem Tier Nine, they might sacrifice themselves so Lanny could escape.

But now, against two...

Lanny's face was pale as paper, the hand gripping her sword showed white bones from exertion.

She had expected demons guarding the Void passage but didn't foresee...

Here, two Totem Tier Nine demons were the guardians!

No hope left?

"Form up!"

Lanny fiercely bit the tip of her tongue, the pain and taste of blood waking her instantly.

"Even if destined to die, die charging! Target—the nearest Magic Crystal Pillar! Destroy one if we can!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The remaining warriors erupted with their final roar.

They knew this was a moth to the flame, but as the queen said...

This was their choice!

"Bravery commendable, foolish beyond belief."

One demon sneered, raising his hand as terrifying waves gathered within.

"To award your foolishness, I'll give you a grand funeral!"

In the next moment, dense Demonic Qi transformed into a cage, enveloping everyone.

The other demon's Demonic Qi coalesced into menacing black lightning.

The combined attack from the two Totem Tier Nine demons.

If this strike lands, Lanny and her team will have no hope of survival.

And yet, right at that moment.

"Rippppp——!!!"

A tearing sound, unexpectedly and violently, resonated from the sky above them!

It wasn't thunder, not an explosion.

It was... the sound of space itself being torn apart.

The two demons' attacks stalled in mid-air.

Lanny and all the squad members couldn't help but look up.

Then, they saw a sight they would never forget for the rest of their lives—

The magic-imbued, dark purple sky.

Like a poor-quality curtain, torn by an invisible yet incredibly sharp giant hand.

From the middle, forcefully ripping open a gigantic crack spanning a thousand meters!

And in the center of that crack, a figure bathed in starlight, gently descended.
