Take Back the Light (Continued)
It's not safe outside right now.
"Someone's coming, Katarina, let's go!"
Maple looked at the TPC guards running towards her and said something to Katarina.
A golden halo appeared above Maple, and a pair of pure white wings unfurled from her back.
The arriving guards froze on the spot.
Maple stared blankly as she carried Katarina away, her wings spread wide.
"Angel?"
Inside the Artis
Munakata was completely dumbfounded when he heard the report.
"What angel?" asked Captain Megumi upon hearing this.
Munakata put down the phone, his expression strange. "The patrolmen said they found two children on the beach."
"One of them became a legendary angel and flew off with the other child toward Gatanothor."
"Gatanothor?"
Captain Megumi was taken aback, then said to Nori, "Scan with radar and transmit the image over."
"Yes!"
Nori typed rapidly on the keyboard with both hands.
"Detected!"
"Switch over now!"
Soon, under Nori's control, a picture appeared on the large screen in front of him.
"No way..."
Rena stared in shock at the angel that stood out so starkly against the surrounding darkness.
"Is it an alien?" Captain Megumi murmured.
Sea area
The closer Katarina got to the center, the more uncomfortable she felt.
Fortunately, the surrounding black mist was neutralized by Maple's angelic radiance.
"If we get any closer, we'll be discovered. We need to go down," Maple, glancing at the sleeping Gatanothor in the distance.
"Go down?"
Katarina was taken aback.
Then a golden protective shield appeared around her, and the two of them plunged directly into the sea.
The signal disappeared after the two entered the sea.
"Are they trying to save Tiga?" Rena murmured, gazing at the dark sea.
Munakata asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"
"Because they brought light..."
"..."
Deep in the sea
Tiga, now a stone statue, lies quietly on the Ruins of R'lyeh.
"Tiga! It's the real Tiga!"
Katarina looked at the enormous stone statue and exclaimed excitedly.
When your childhood hero appears before you, you can't contain your excitement.
Maple: "Daigo, we're almost there, get ready."
Upon seeing the message in the group chat, Daigo, who was locked in the crystal coffin, was taken aback.
He then noticed a golden dot of light slowly approaching him from afar.
Maple manipulated her wings, cutting through the seawater.
Since the Tiga statue was facing upwards, the two of them landed right on the timer.
"Sister Maple!"
Katarina stroked the rough stone statue and gripped the flashlight in her hand tightly.
"Um."
Ling Yuan: "Maple, Katarina, you two focus on helping Tiga recover. I'll take care of Gatanothor."
Daigo: "Thank you, Group Owner."
The two people's faces lit up with joy upon seeing the group message.
Rumble!
Urgent! The sea began to churn.
The two of them held onto Tiga's timer tightly.
They knew that Gatanothor had been drawn to Ling Yuan.
After the sea calmed down for a while...
Maple: "It's coming."
Daigo: "Hmm!"
Maple a deep breath.
Close your eyes, clasp your hands together, and place them in front of your chest.
"Heaven's Blessing."
As the words fell.
Buzz—!
The halo above his head shone brightly.
Its sacred wings spread out behind it, and pure, immaculate light slowly shone down.
The moment these lights appeared, they transformed into a torrent, continuously converging towards Tiga's timer.
Inside the stone statue, Daigo looked at the increasingly bright space around him, a look of joy on his face, and desperately reached out his hand.
"Please, light!!"
Upon noticing the commotion, Gatanothor fixed its gaze on Ling Yuan, effectively turning its back to Tiga.
"Xiao Li, go back and rest. Our battle is over."
Ling Yuan said calmly.
"Hold head high!"
The rock dragon let out a roar and transformed into light, flying into Ling Yuan's right arm.
"As long as we keep them occupied, that's enough."
The next second
Buzz buzz buzz!
Several golden halos opened up in the sky.
Amidst everyone's bewildered gazes.
Bang bang bang!
Countless golden chain heads fell from the sky and crashed heavily into the sea.
Bang!
The clanging of chains echoed as they wrapped around Gatanothor's body.
"Aww!"
Gatanothor let out a roar, but his body was completely bound by chains and he couldn't move at all.
"Chain?"
The members of the Victory Team who witnessed this scene were stunned.
"Was that the angel from earlier?"
Looking at the blockaded Gatanothor, Ling Yuan's gaze turned to the sea area radiating light not far away.
"The rest is up to you, Tiga."
After saying that, Ling Yuan disappeared from the spot.
Inside the crystal space, Daigo angrily pounded on the crystal that had sealed him off.
"Ah!!"
Click!
Bang!
The crystal coffin shattered, then shattered with a deafening crash!
The light that had been surrounding the crystal coffin began to surge towards Daigo.
Sizzle!
The next moment
All the surrounding darkness was dispelled, leaving behind a space filled with light.
"Roar!"
Sensing the gradually reviving aura behind him, Gatanothor roared, but the chains binding him prevented him from moving an inch.
Buzz!
Golden light shone from the timer.
To Maple and Katarina's astonishment, the light spread to them.
They then vanished from the spot with them.
In the pitch-black sea
The light disappeared
But a dark blue timer remained.
Where is this?
Maple and Katarina opened their eyes and looked at the bright light around them with curiosity.
Strangely enough, although these lights were bright, they were not dazzling at all.
On the contrary, it made them feel an unusual warmth.
"Thank you for saving Tiga and me."
Suddenly, a gentle voice rang out.
The two women instinctively turned their heads and saw a man looking at them with a smile.
"Daigo! It really is Daigo!"
Katarina ran over excitedly.
"Thank you, thank you so much..."
Looking at Katarina, who wasn't even as tall as his thigh, Daigo gently stroked her head, his words filled with indescribable emotion.
"Next..."
