Wu Heng looked at him.
"Attack one side first."
He brought up a map of the energy distribution across the Three Realms. The Human Realm, Heaven, and Hell were marked in different colors, and the paths of energy flow were clearly visible.
"Although Heaven's barrier is closed, the Nordic Aurora Belt is where the energy barrier between the Human Realm and Heaven is weakest. It was once one of the main passages for angels to descend, and the residual energy fissures there still haven't fully healed."
He pointed to that region on the map.
"If we set up a cross-realm siege formation there and use the energy shed by angels to power it, we can create energy fluctuations powerful enough to shake Heaven's barrier. Metatron will think we're planning to force our way into Heaven."
Thomas frowned.
"And then?"
"Then we watch his reaction," Wu Heng said. "If Heaven's barrier loosens, it means Metatron has something to hide. The Heavenfall Blade may not be complete yet, and he'll need to split his forces to defend it."
"If he ignores us completely and the barrier doesn't budge, then either he simply doesn't care, or he has absolute confidence."

"Crowley now has only two choices: help Mammon, or help us."
Renault froze.
"He'll help us?"
Wu Heng shook
