Chapter 509: Collision and Choice

Well, actually, Sophie Sophie Liya didn't really want to look up; she just suddenly felt her forehead get hit by a huge force, causing her to look up involuntarily, and her head even knocked against the back of the throne.

And because she wanted to strengthen the majesty of the throne, things like thrones were generally made of wood, stone, or even iron or gold, and usually didn't have soft cushions added.

Therefore, the throne was very hard, and her head was really painful.

Fortunately, Sophie Sophie Liya had already transformed from her original mortal body into a true angel under the power of the Radiant Lord. Although angels were not a race known for their physical strength, at least the upper and lower limits of the disaster race were placed there.

Therefore, apart from her head being really painful and having a slight dizziness, the Pure White Angel didn't suffer much injury, but her white-gold throne was knocked with a dent.

Duang...

The sound of the collision between her head and the backrest wasn't very loud, but because it was very quiet in this central cathedral just now, one could hear a pin drop.

Therefore, this slightly abrupt collision sound seemed a bit obvious, so obvious that the angels who were originally standing on both sides under the main hall also raised their heads one after another. And when they saw the appearance of this Lord of the Radiant God Kingdom, they all became alert instantly.

"Not good, there is an assassin."

"Quick, the Pope has been assassinated, immediately seal the scene."

"Protect the Emperor, protect the Emperor..."

In an instant, the atmosphere in this cathedral hall became heavily guarded. It was just a matter of an instant before a complete protective circle was formed, which showed the elite nature of the angels.

It was just that, no matter how the angels' divine power probed the hall, they couldn't find the possible attacker. And just when the angels were confused...

A voice suddenly sounded out of thin air in this hall. It was a woman's voice, and it sounded very nice, but the content was slightly vulgar.

"Pretending, Sophie Sophie Liya."

"... let you obediently wear a maid outfit and serve me well..."

"The war has begun. Let's fight to our heart's content."

The angels: "..."

After listening to such a clamor, the hall became silent again. All the angels cast their eyes toward the Pure White Angel who was shaking her head on the throne.

Who is this, to be so arrogant?

Most of the angels in the hall at this time were summoned one after another over the past 500 years and hadn't experienced the first act. Being newcomers, they were completely confused and had no idea who the opponent was.

Only Mi Ka Le, who was standing on the lower right of the throne, frowned, having some guesses in her heart.

The Seraph lady recalled the humiliation and pain of being ravaged by the opponent during the first act.

And at this time, on the throne, Sophie Sophie Liya reached out and rubbed her forehead. If this social death had happened to someone else, eight out of ten would have been thinking about living in another world, but the Pure White Angel looked as usual.

Well, actually, she was also really a bit angry, but in this kind of situation, getting angry from embarrassment would only be more shameful. One must be elegant and maintain one's demeanor.

However, apart from being slightly sullen, she also understood that the "little gift" she had sent over before had already been received by the Young Lady, and the meaning she wanted to express with that little gift had also been understood by the Young Lady, and now she had officially given an answer.

Regarding this, the Pure White Angel first sighed, and then showed a smile.

She was slightly regretful, but also very gratified.

What was regrettable was that she hadn't been able to persuade the Young Lady to retreat, and now they really had to take action, which might hurt their harmony. What was gratifying was that her Young Lady was indeed much more excellent than she had imagined. It seemed that what she had said about not fearing a real battlefield wasn't just bragging.

"Then, let's fight."

Sophie Sophie Liya stood up, her figure instantly appearing above the cathedral, looking up at the sky...

... at the crack that suddenly split open like a child of heaven, and the huge dragon-snake fist force that rushed out from the pupil of that child of heaven.

"Roar..."

The illusory dragon-snake fist force roared and swooped down, and coupled with the background of the child of heaven behind it, the sense of oppression was full.

Anyway, the angels who appeared above the cathedral following Sophie Sophie Liya felt the fist force falling as if it carried the power of heaven, and their expressions all changed.

The power of this punch was too terrifying.

Only a small portion of the angels present had the confidence to block this punch; the other majority of angels felt the breath of death just by looking at that illusory dragon-snake.

And the powerful angels who felt they could block this punch also had very solemn expressions. Blocking it was indeed possible, but after blocking it, not to mention being severely injured, they would at least be heavily wounded.

This is ridiculous. Who threw this punch? Could it be the God King?

But the God King is not known for her martial arts, and how could that noble and supreme adult say the vulgar words just heard?

However, now is not the time to sigh at how terrifying it is. After all, the dragon-snake fist force has almost fallen. If it really lands in the center of the Holy City, then at least half of the city will be directly evaporated.

No, it must be blocked.

At this moment, the angels shook their wings behind their backs one after another, rushed into the sky, and killed the terrifying illusory dragon-snake together.

And Sophie Sophie Liya and Mi Ka Le didn't move, but just watched the actions of their subordinates quietly.

"Your Majesty, is this the action of that Young Lady?"

Mi Ka Le only then asked.

Because she personally participated in the first act, the Seraph lady knew the complex relationship of love and hate between her superior and that Young Lady, who was suspected to be the disciple of her idol Gui Gu Zhu Ge.

It was just that the Young Lady's strength was a bit wrong.

After all, because angels could choose to stay during the transition, she and Sophie Sophie Liya had both reached power nearing the world limit (600,000 Total Mana) after developing for 500 years. But the Witches couldn't use the transition to develop. The strength of this Young Lady shouldn't be so powerful by rights.

This is probably cheating.

The Seraph lady complained in her heart.

"Hmm, it's her."

Sophie Sophie Liya nodded, confirming Mi Ka Le's inquiry.

At this time, the Pure White Angel was also focused on watching the terrifying dragon-snake fist force in the sky, sighing at the terror of her Young Lady.

One could only say that she was worthy of being the famous Witch of the Forest. This foundation that transcended her age couldn't be measured by common sense at all.

Even if mana could be accumulated in sleep using some special methods, knowledge and techniques were things that needed to be learned in practice.

It was like playing a game. Even if you could use experience potions to pull your character level to a quite high level in one breath, if you wanted to fully exert your strength, you still needed to pull your skill level to a level matching your character level.

Otherwise, even if a novice who has only mastered low-level skills were to have their level maxed out through empowerment, it would still be like a child wielding a giant broadsword—just hacking away blindly.

Sophie Sophie Liya's strength now was all polished bit by bit in the 500 years she stayed behind, and only then could she combine power and technique, perfectly controlling her own strength.

But the Young Lady didn't have enough adaptation time like her, but was suddenly switched accounts, yet she still perfectly controlled the power.

In other words, the knowledge and technique level of the Young Lady in reality was already enough to control the power of a Peak Grand Witch?

Comparing this with the Young Lady's real mana of only 40,000...

This kind of contrast was just like a giant's soul being trapped in a dwarf's body. If the Young Lady's mana talent were a bit better, she would probably truly be at the level of the Three Kings.

My Young Lady truly has the potential of the Three Kings.

Realizing this, Sophie Sophie Liya felt a bit inexplicably proud in her heart...

... but more of it was a desire to win that came from nowhere.

Even if she knew the Young Lady was terrifying, the Pure White Angel didn't want to lose just like that. She didn't want to be pressed under the Young Lady so easily. Even if there would be such a day sooner or later in the future, she had to resist until the last moment.

And just when Sophie Sophie Liya clenched her fists, the explanation of the time-stop finally ended. Thus, the dragon-snake in the sky collided with the angels in a flash, and then the huge shockwave swept the clouds in the sky clean instantly.

Then, the angels' faces turned pale. Even though everyone joined forces to block it, the moment they truly fought, the angels discovered that they had underestimated the terror of this fist force.

"Pfft..."

In an instant, the few Dominion angels rushing to the front vomited blood.

And even though the few powerful angels blocked the strongest impact, the few slightly weaker Wang Zuo angels in the rear also had pale faces, feeling immense pressure.

But with so many people joining forces, they couldn't possibly fail to block even one punch from the opponent, right? The arrogant angels couldn't afford to lose that face, so they had to grit their teeth and hold on.

Thus, the illusory dragon-snake confronted the holy light barrier formed by the angels. After about half a minute, the power of the dragon-snake was finally exhausted, but relatively speaking, the angels couldn't hide their fatigue on their faces.

Although they succeeded, everyone couldn't be happy at this moment. After all, those present were the main force of the angel mission, and yet so many people joined forces to block only one punch from the opponent, and they were so embarrassed. This was really not a glorious combat record.

This was quite different from what everyone imagined at the beginning. What happened to the Witches having average strength, and them being able to easily ravage them this time?

At this moment, the angels suddenly thought of the second half of the evaluation that Witches have average strength, which is that top-tier Witches are often invincible at the same rank.

This young disaster race, although its overall development is very unbalanced—the weak are truly weak, but the strong are also truly powerful and over-modeled—just like the most classic Witch Three Kings who can suppress a race alone.

And thinking of the Three Kings, the angels' faces became even uglier.

They couldn't be that unlucky, could they? Could the one who threw the punch just now be the future Fourth King?

It had been more than ten thousand years since the Battle of Heaven, and the new generation of angels had actually somewhat forgotten the fear of being dominated by the God King back then. In common terms, they felt they were capable again.

In fact, not only did the angels think so, but the dragons and even the demons also felt so. The veteran three races had been restless for these years, thinking that they couldn't win in a one-on-one, so perhaps they could gang up, waiting for the three-race coalition to fight the Witches, determined to wash away the shame.

But the premise of all this was that there were only Three Kings. If a Fourth Witch King suddenly popped up, then even a three-race coalition would probably just be food.

Although this batch of angel missions was nominally here to communicate and learn from the young Witches, in reality, they were here to welcome the return of the Radiant Lord. And secretly, every member of the mission carried the task of spying on Witch intelligence assigned by their respective masters.

Hmm, now the intelligence was in hand, it was just that the amount of information was a bit large, too scary.

No, if the one who took action just now is really a young Witch, then this is too terrifying. This person must not be kept for long, otherwise, she will become a great disaster for our race.

Almost all the angels had such thoughts flash through their minds at the first moment.

It was just...

Just when the angels were harboring their own ghosts and withdrawing, thinking of using the special means given to them by their respective masters to send the news of the suspected Fourth King's appearance back to Heaven, they turned around and met the golden eyes of the Pure White Angel.

Thus, the power of fate pulled, and the world line began to change...

"Uh, what was I thinking just now..."

"I seem to have something to send back..."

"Oh, right, I should ask for credit for Sophie Sophie Liya, and let Heaven know who the number one angel of the new generation is."

"What is it, the dragon-snake fist force just now was just a show, the Witches are indeed a bunch of losers."

"I wonder if Sophie Sophie Liya saw my performance just now. I really want to be the Pope's dog..."

The angels forgot their original thoughts as soon as they turned around, and their thoughts began to develop in strange directions.

And regarding this, Sophie Sophie Liya also sighed helplessly. She tilted her head and looked at Mi Ka Le beside her, sighing that this angel team was really hard to lead, and all her subordinates were traitors.

Of course, although this group of Dominion and Wang Zuo angels was quite easy to handle, the Seraph lady beside her was a disaster. The other party had the mark left by other Angel Kings, so it wasn't easy to take action casually like dealing with others, but she knew too much.

"Mi Ka Le, you should be a smart person, right?"

She asked this.

"Of course, Your Majesty. I am sincerely here to welcome the great Radiant Lord back to her loyal Heaven."

The Seraph lady also felt a bit of a chill in her heart from being stared at by her superior with this look, fearing that she would also be jumped to other fate branches like the others.

But this was also the truth.

As a rare new Seraph and future Angel King, Mi Ka Le had been wooed by many forces in Heaven. The seven existing Angel Kings all hoped to make her their future ally before she had grown up.

But Mi Ka Le had never given an answer to the Seven Kings, always wandering among them, being close to no one and not that close to anyone.

After all, she was an angel in charge of war, so naturally, she had to choose to be with victory. If she had to choose, she had to choose the strongest one.

But it wasn't that she looked down on the existing Angel Seven Kings; it was just that compared to the two Kings who were not in Heaven, they were really quite mediocre.

And Lucifer, the Lord of Dawn, had long fallen into hell, so she couldn't choose.

Then there was only one answer.

Then there is only one answer.

Lord of Radiance, I shall pledge my loyalty to you.

Oh, Supreme Fate, this is the strongest power in the world; a war that does not receive the favor of Fate is one filled with suspense, and she, Michael, not only wants to fight, she wants to win.

She chooses to stand on the side favored by Fate.

... Michael is choosing her side...
