A Demon's Body Can Also Bear an Angel's Wings

"Buzz!"

At the critical moment, the air vibrated violently, and a hideous figure with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake suddenly emerged from the darkness, casting a shadow over the three Noah's Ark.

The terrifying and chilling aura sent shivers down the spines of Tim and the others who were in charge of piloting the ship. It was the demon that had once ravaged large swathes of land in the North Wall!

A sense of despair spread.

However, immediately afterward, the dark red vertical pupils widened in anger, and purple Magic Beam actually crossed the sky above Noah's Ark, exploding densely on the body of the Heavenly Bull.

The continuously pouring and spreading halo illuminated half of the sky. Under the immense impact, Gugalanna slid a hundred meters away, and stone-like grayish-white marks kept appearing on the injured parts of his body.

"Moo!"

In the instant the crimson Magic Beam was exhausted, the Heavenly Bull raised its hooves and stomped the ground, its metallic luster stubbornly resisting the gray-white corrosion.

At the same time, bolts of lightning as thick as buckets of water slammed into the water one after another, making Tim's hair stand on end.

The moment he looked up, he was horrified to see several bolts of lightning hurtling straight toward Noah's Ark, and his blood froze.

"Boom!"

Just then, a pair of soft, pale yellow wings covered the dome, shielding Noah's Ark from the streaks of lightning and safely guiding it toward the broken wall on the south side of Uruk.

Tick-tock... tick-tock...

Tim, on the deck, subconsciously raised his hand to wipe away the warm liquid that had fallen onto his cheek. When he saw the glaring bright red stain, his expression was one of astonishment.

"I'll stop its movement, let's go!"

A cold, explosive shout came from above. The Serpent Goddess above emitted beams of light from her Stone Mystic Eyes, and crimson magic enveloped Gugalanna's limbs. The powers of the two sides were locked in a stalemate and struggle.

Clusters of thorns woven with lightning exploded from mid-air. In the flickering light, a small, circular object scattered and drifted everywhere as the hurricane slashed through it.

On the deck, Tim stretched out his one arm, looked at the dried petals in his palm, a look of enlightenment in his eyes, and solemnly pounded his chest in respect.

The Gorgon, who had appeared in his dreams countless times before, could no longer stir his fear; the pale yellow wings covering the dome felt so warm.

A demon in human form can also bear the wings of an angel.

Therefore, power itself has no inherent good or evil; it is only the mind that has thoughts of good and evil.

You can finally face this attitude, Anna.

On the Royal Palace Divine Tower, Samael looked at the goddess Gorgon, Gugalanna, and smiled with satisfaction.

After defeating the Beast Goddess, Anna received the "evil power" bestowed upon her by the demon herself.

The curse of Gorgon. Even when her life was in danger, she was unwilling to release that power, for fear of truly going down that path.

Ultimately, the belief in protecting Uruk overcame the fear of fate, allowing the child to display his determination to protect it with a ferocious expression.

"Return to health, return to health..."

Merlin, who was watching the battlefield from the railing, saw the three Noah's Ark having passed through the most difficult area and sailed into the inner city of Uruk. He couldn't help but pat his chest with relief.

"Ereshkigal, Plan Two!"

At this moment, Samael, standing in front of the heavy sand table, slammed his hand on the table and roared.

In an instant, the ground trembled again. The soil layers of the mountains that had previously blocked the advance of the Lahmu group collapsed and crumbled. The surging water submerged most of the buildings and went straight to the raised high ground of the Royal Palace Divine Tower.

Thus, the obstacle that had blocked the three Noah's Ark's journey, like a reef, vanished.

This is why Samael chose to allow Lahmu to break through from the south gate.

Because that side is not only the estuary connecting the two river systems and leading directly to the Persian Gulf, but also the only obstacle Abgal, which was already killed by Quetzalcoatl, making it the safest route for navigation.

Since the city walls and surrounding buildings would inevitably become obstacles sooner or later in order to allow Noah's Ark to pass, it would be better to take the opportunity to let the floodwaters flow back, creating a stalemate and delaying the passage of time.

"Activate the first four sections of Magecraft! Witches and priests of the Temple of Ea, maintain the array, show me the waterline!"

Upon seeing the flashing signal above the Royal Palace Divine Tower, Tim immediately shouted repeatedly at the Sorcery Array inside the cabin.

"Open all gun ports!"

The ship's sides creaked and turned, and as hundreds of Divine Authority Seal adjusted their firing angles, Magic Beam swept across the surrounding waters.

One by one, the Lahmu had either taken off or floated up were pierced and shattered, their purplish-black body parts exploding and flying everywhere, while their eerie, grotesque laughter became chaotic and out of tune.

"All combat personnel, prepare for docking!"

Having cleared most of the surrounding area of Lahmu, the one-armed general raised his short sword and charged toward the deck.

Thousands of Magecraft and soldiers poured out of the ship's cabins and lined up to meet the enemy.

Meanwhile, the soldiers and Leopard Beastkin had retreated to both sides of the Royal Palace Divine Tower beforehand, though few remained, still stubbornly organized their lines.

They advanced, repeatedly repelling the Lahmu who leaped from the floodwaters and tried to climb the high ground, creating an opportunity for Noah's Ark to dock.

Meanwhile, in mid-air, the remaining force of just over a hundred Pterodactyl Rider faced enemies several times their number.

As for the most solid North Wall, it suffered even more severe damage.

"Roar!"

The World-Destroying Dragon, with its clearly defined shape and scales, folded its wings and descended, its massive body instantly crushing the remaining section of the city wall.

The gaping maw turned toward the three approaching Noah's Ark, and terrifying ethereal turbulence was being compressed wildly.

"How dare you disregard me, you bastard!"

With a cold, sharp shout, a red and black spiral beam of light slashed down from mid-air, smashing half of the monster's head before sending it flying.

The turbulent ether currents, which had been swept across the sky at an off-center angle, narrowly missed Ishtar, and the Astrology Platform standing behind her was immediately affected.

As the crisis unfolded, dozens of self-defense spells converged in front of the building.

However, under Apsu's terrifying Magic Beam, these protective barriers were as fragile as soap bubbles, collapsing instantly upon contact with the red and black light.

Immediately afterward, the Astrology Platform, which had been pierced through the middle, collapsed with a crash, like a fragile Solar Calendar Stone falling into the water.

At the critical moment, a sharp whistle rang out.

Dozens of Quetzalcoatlus with nets hanging below narrowly saved the object possessed by Quetzalcoatl's divinity.

The Jaguar Man leaped from the dilapidated outer buildings, slapping dozens of Lahmu heads in succession, finally managing to deliver the Solar Calendar Stone and the heavily injured Feathered Serpent God to the upper level of Noah's Ark first.

At this moment, the North Wall is only one step away from being completely captured.

Quetzalcoatl, Gilgamesh, and Enkidu were severely wounded; Anna was blocked by the Heavenly Bull; Ishtar was nearly exhausted; and the power of the gods was almost depleted.

Emerging densely from the abyss, the Lahmu surged across vast stretches of collapsed defenses; the remaining western section of the city wall was merely putting up a last-ditch resistance.

Every second that passed, large numbers of Lahmu stormed into the bunker, watchtower, and hiding room, their eerie, grotesque laughter completely drowning out the faint roars and agonizing screams.

The Undying Army that Samael and Gilgamesh meticulously prepared had now completely fallen into the embrace of the Underworld Goddess.

From above, Uruk is a scene of chaos, with torrents and ravines everywhere, like a toy crushed and on the verge of collapse in the palm of a giant.

But compared to all that, looking down at this fortified city billowing with smoke, Samael was most worried about another problem.

It seems that Uruk has lost its ability to intimidate Apsu.
