Chapter 494: Authority of Life

Klein looked at the two Angels before him with a grave expression, feeling particularly wary of the "Angel of Life."

The God of War Church, the Mother Goddess of Earth Church, and even two Angel families from Feysac—the number of Angels here is terrifying, likely totaling eight to ten.

As for the Evernight Church side, the Storm Church's attitude is ambiguous, focusing more on their own dioceses at sea; it is unclear if they will dispatch Angels to assist the Evernight Church.

And when facing the threat from Castiya, the Augustus Family can at most pull one Angel to this side; as for Adam, there might be support, or there might not.

That means the number of Angels the Evernight Church needs to face is roughly five to seven, while the Evernight Church at Ningjing Jiaotang currently only has four, including the Pope who coordinates everything.

"This is really tough..." Klein felt a toothache. The pressure the "Angel of Life" brought him was immense. Combined with a certain unreasonable guess of his own, today's battle is truly difficult to fight.

"Klein." A familiar voice suddenly rang in Klein's ears.

"Mr. Azik!" Klein's pupils instantly reflected the figure of Azik Eggers. He walked out from the Spirit World and stood beside Klein.

"'Death Consul'?!" The "Angel of Combat" looked at Azik Eggers with a somber expression. "Do you know what your arrival means?!"

"I am, after all, the ancestor of the Aegis Family; I still need to do some things for the family." Azik glanced at the Angel of Combat and nodded toward Klein.

"Then you should even less participate in this war!" The "Angel of Combat" stared at Azik with a cold, rigid expression.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the Aegis Family joining the war is really not a good thing.

"The current Empress thinks so too, but the descendants are somewhat short-sighted, so only I can come."

The only one from the Aegis Family who came is Mr. Azik, this "Death Consul."

"I think His Holiness the Pope will be very grateful to you." Klein saw Mr. Azik and let out a slight sigh of relief; the feeling of teacher and student fighting side by side was very wondrous.

"However, please go support Ningjing Jiaotang, Mr. Azik. I will handle this side," Klein suddenly said.

In the other two directions of Winter County, there were already quite a few battles that were not large in scale but were of extremely high level and thoroughly dangerous.

Lady Arianna and Mr. Samuel were both caught in bitter struggles; their pressure was even greater than Klein's.

"... Alright." Azik looked at Klein carefully and found that he was not forcing himself, so he smiled and nodded. Afterward, he left directly to join the other battlefield.

"You think you can stop us? Or rather... me?" the "Angel of Life" suddenly asked.

The "Angel of Combat" did not refute; in their combination, the "Angel of Life" was the one in charge.

"I am probably very hard to kill." The "Miracle Invoker" was well-qualified to say this; Klein currently still had three chances to resurrect.

Klein looked at the two Angels before him and reached out to pull out his battle team.

George III, Miss Pope, the "Death Consul," the "Weather Warlock," and additionally two Zero-level Sealed Artifacts, the "Order Scepter" and the "Death Bronze Coffin."

This was equivalent to six Angels!

But a Historical Projection has its limits after all. Just as Klein was about to have these four Angel projections surround and attack the "Life" and "Combat" Angels, a change occurred.

Suddenly, a phantom radiance flashed in the "Angel of Life's" eyes, and the "Weather Warlock" directly rebelled! The "Weather Warlock" was a Feysac general who died at the hands of the "Hidden Angel" last time; Medici had not possessed him now, so he was naturally an empty shell.

But just now, this Historical Projection had strangely gained life and began to resist Klein's control.

"This is?!" Klein's figure flashed and turned into a Dream Bubble, his true body returning directly to "Sefirah Castle," leaving behind only a Historical Projection.

Sss!

The "Weather Warlock's" "Slaughter" missed. At this moment, Klein noticed a certain green fluorescence glowing on the "Weather Warlock's" body.

This green fluorescence gave the "Weather Warlock" a certain amount of life, and he was controlled by the "Angel of Life"!

"How is this possible?!" Klein frowned, feeling surprised and uncertain.

Angels of the "Mother" Pathway can indeed perform a certain degree of "Life Bestowal," but there are limits to this. The only one capable of bestowing Angel-level life is likely that true "Mother"!

Klein attempted to cut off the summoning of the "Weather Warlock." The "Weather Warlock's" figure immediately dissipated, but in the next moment, the green fluorescence flickered, turning into a chain that forcibly pieced his figure back together.

Before this bestowed life was exhausted, the Historical Projection could still exist for a short time, probably not enough for thirty seconds.

"Praise the Mother Goddess!" The "Angel of Life" reached out and clenched, and a more powerful force gradually spread with him as the center, intending to erode Klein's Angel projections.

This was the bestowal of the "Mother Goddess of Earth," it was the "Life" Authority!

Klein raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly. Among the Historical Projections he summoned, the "Order Scepter" and the "Death Bronze Coffin" directly dissipated, while the three Angels—George III, Miss Pope, and the "Death Consul"—were retained.

The two Sealed Artifacts were like the "Weather Warlock," dead objects that could be awakened with life and develop living characteristics.

As for the Angel projections, they were originally alive; Klein had directly summoned a wisp of their corresponding consciousness through Causality Threads.

It was only a wisp of consciousness; resisting that erosion of life would not affect their main bodies.

And given the cooperative relationship between the Augustus Family and the Evernight Church, at such a critical moment, even George III had to hold his nose and accept it, not actively attacking Klein.

"Go!" The "Angel of Life" was unwilling to waste the combat power of the "Weather Warlock" and directed this rebellious Historical Projection to kill the Angel team Klein had summoned.

The "Angel of Combat" also seized this opportunity, holding the Twilight Giant Sword and directly flashing over to attack.

"Balance!" George III reached out and pressed down, and a Rule domain shrouded the battlefield, forcibly balancing the "Angel of Combat" and his own Historical Projection.

An Angel's Historical Projection is, after all, just a projection, not as perfect as a real Angel.

"Steal!" Klein watched the "Weather Warlock" reach out and grab, then twisted his wrist; he was stealing the "Weather Warlock's" "Life."

At the same time, Klein above the Grey Fog amplified the probability of his success.

Bang... The Grey Fog collapsed, and the "Weather Warlock's" body directly disintegrated.

The two-versus-three situation on the field instantly reversed; the "Angel of Combat" resisted the three Angel Historical Projections, only able to rely on his powerful defensive capabilities to hold out.
