Chapter 1471 Fallen Angel, Seraph
“Is it you?!”
When Mikhael saw that figure, his brows furrowed tightly, “How did you escape from under that volcano?”
Many decades ago, when humans first observed the Seraph Mikhael on the moon, they also discovered the fallen angel Lucifer who was imprisoned under a North American volcano, designating him as 004.
Since then, Lucifer had remained imprisoned at the bottom of the volcano, showing no signs of activity for decades, causing humans and other divine kingdoms to gradually forget his existence.
Until this moment.
Mikhael didn’t know how Lucifer had escaped from the [Mortal Divine Domain]. He hadn’t sensed anything at all until Lucifer stood on that mountain peak, only then truly perceiving his presence.
On the mountain peak, Lucifer slightly raised his face. His appearance, like Mikhael’s, possessed an indescribable perfection, as if he were the ultimate embodiment of all living beings’ aesthetic ideals. The only difference was that his appearance subtly revealed a hint of sinister charm.
“Did you really think that mere [Mortal Divine Domain] could imprison me forever?” Lucifer spoke calmly, “Mikhael, you’re far too confident.”
“Even if you broke my seal, I should have sensed it… what exactly did you do?”
“In this world, there exist beings far more powerful than you.” Lucifer’s lips curled into a smile, appearing exceptionally sinister under the pale lightning, “I merely borrowed their power.”
Mikhael stared at him, as if realizing something, and spoke coldly:
“Cthulhu? You actually joined them?”
“Call it what you will. As long as I can obtain greater power, I don’t care… Don’t forget, I represent ‘Fall’ itself.”
Lucifer spoke without concern.
“So you’d rather be Zeus’s lapdog?”
“Lapdog?” Lucifer sneered, “Mikhael, you seem to misunderstand something… I didn’t join him; he needed me, understand? He’s merely my pawn. Without me, how could he possibly obtain that thing and sweep away the last Daxia divine kingdom in the world?
I’m here only to wait for you.”
“The fragments of the [Key to the Door] relic—you led him to them?”
At this moment, Mikhael finally understood the cause and effect of everything. He had been puzzled about how Zeus found the fragments of the [Key to the Door], and how he dared to risk Mikhael’s pursuit to use the fragments to banish the Daxia gods, given that he was just a supreme guardian of Olympus. But if Lucifer was backing him, everything made sense.
As the former first combat power of Heaven, Mikhael’s strength already stood at the pinnacle of this world. Few beings could match him, but the former King of Hell, the fallen angel Lucifer, was definitely one of them.
Countless ages ago, when the Lord of Heaven took Heaven’s essence to the moon to seal the Cthulhu pantheon, Mikhael and Lucifer battled for three days and nights on earth, yet couldn’t kill each other—proof of his immense power. Now that he had joined the Cthulhu pantheon, it was impossible to say how much stronger he had become.
“So what if I did?”
Lucifer’s wings fluttered, and his form ghosted into the air. A pitch-black longsword appeared in his hand, and the entire space was torn apart by two domains—one brilliant gold, one pitch black!
“Mikhael… I’ve waited decades for this battle.
Now, it’s time for a conclusion.”
…
Daxia.
Chennan Pass.
An aircraft slowly descended above the dilapidated fortress. Shao Pingge, wearing a dark red cloak and keeping one eye closed, walked out from the cabin. Several figures were already waiting nearby.
“Captain Shao.” Min Junliang quickly approached.
Shao Pingge nodded slightly, “Sorry I’m late.”
“It’s fine. You have to maintain the ‘Dream Network’ while traveling all the way to Chennan Pass—it’s truly a burden,” Min Junliang smiled bitterly.
“Now that the divine war has ended but all Daxia gods have disappeared, we’re short-handed. This is precisely when malicious foreign god agents or other miscreants might try to sneak into Daxia territory. Your Dream Network can capture all self-aware consciousnesses entering Daxia’s borders—it’s our last line of defense.”
Shao Pingge sighed somewhat helplessly,
“At my current level, maintaining the ‘Dream Network’ is already extremely difficult… I may not have enough energy to handle the Night Watchers’ internal affairs. I fear I’m not qualified for this temporary commander-in-chief position.”
“Please don’t worry, Captain Shao. Chennan Pass is operating normally according to Commander Zuo’s arrangements before he left. There aren’t many trivial matters—you just need to continue maintaining the ‘Dream Network’,” Min Junliang paused. “Besides, if anything comes up, your old friend and I can share the burden.”
Hearing the words “old friend,” Shao Pingge was slightly startled.
He seemed to sense something and turned to look. Yuan Gang, still wrapped in bandages, was being pushed toward them in a wheelchair.
Seeing Shao Pingge, Yuan Gang shook his head with a bitter smile,
“I don’t know what sins I committed… why do I always end up working for you no matter where I go?”
Shao Pingge noticed Yuan Gang’s wounds, his gaze slightly focusing, but then smiled and said, “Haven’t you realized yet? You can’t escape my grasp.”
Shao Pingge walked behind Yuan Gang’s wheelchair, nodded slightly to the logistics staff who had been pushing it, who promptly withdrew. He gripped the wheelchair handles and slowly pushed Yuan Gang toward the Chennan Pass command center.
“How are your injuries?”
“Nothing serious. I’ll be fine after some rest,” Yuan Gang paused. “It’s just a shame about Zhang Zhengting and the others…”
Shao Pingge’s footsteps faltered, his closed eye trembling slightly as he asked softly, “They… sacrificed themselves? Did anyone survive?”
Yuan Gang didn’t speak, only letting out a long sigh.
After a moment of silence, Shao Pingge asked, “Has Commander Zuo arranged for their affairs?”
“Yes, their remains are being transported to their respective stations. When the war ends, medals will be posthumously awarded.”
“…Good.”
“I never expected you would end up shouldering the entire Night Watchers’ responsibility,” Yuan Gang turned his head to look at him from the wheelchair. “How does it feel? Is the pressure great?”
“It would be a lie to say it isn’t… fortunately, I’m just the temporary commander-in-chief,” Shao Pingge shrugged. “You should know there are people more suitable for this position than me.”
Yuan Gang gazed at the broken outer wall in the distance, concern appearing in his eyes.
“Do you think… they can come back?”
“They will,” Shao Pingge stated with certainty. “They are the pillars supporting our entire Daxia… I can’t speak for others, but they will definitely return.”
