Next Move: I'll Defend, You Attack

"A protective barrier for the city?"

After a moment of silence, the six-winged Angel continued muttering to himself, then stood up as if nothing had happened.

His complexion, however, had noticeably darkened.

The barrier is used to defend against Monster...

"How laughable! Do you actually think of me as some kind of Monster? Not only do you not come to greet us... but you also want to keep our glory out?"

The Six-Winged Angel spoke these words, then couldn't help but roar angrily, "Then shatter it right here!"

As the Angel waved his arms, countless falling white feathers instantly gathered together and eventually coalesced into a giant sword.

Immediately afterwards, the six-winged Angel raised his right hand again, clenched his fist, and slammed it into his left palm. Then, he swept the holy light from his left hand across the giant sword floating in front of him...

A terrifying power instantly condensed, staining the pristine white greatsword with gold... a golden sheen.

Then, the Angel grasped the greatsword!

"Witness my..."

But before the Angel could finish speaking...

"Black Hollow Seven Bites!"

Yaochuan Guang's voice came from not far away, followed by a sudden expansion of the Black Hollow, instantly enveloping the Angel who was preparing to attack the barrier.

"This is..."

The Six-Winged Angel was surprised, because he was certain he knew about this attack. "Black Hollow Seven Bites?"

As the six-winged Angel looked at the blackness that covered everything around it, its gaze focusing on the two figures, one in gold and one in green.

Then, his pupils contracted even further.

Uncle! Shouldn't you be out of your mind, plotting to World Destruction in Wind City, waiting for all the Monster in the world to come and worship you?

And this green one, isn't it the host of the rampaging Extinction Formula destined to go Fate? Shouldn't you be going insane too?

Why are they all gathered here?

No, there must be something wrong!

Whether it's the upheaval in Wind City or the Demon King and the Extinction Formula, there's something wrong... We must escape the Black Hollow quickly and then find a way to pass the information to the Great God Moerae!

With that thought in mind, the Angel gritted his teeth, bracing himself against the Light Beam behind him and the attacks of the Little Sprite and Dire Wolf, and swung his greatsword at the wall of the Black Hollow.

"Boom!!!"

The first strike caused a crack to appear instantly in the Black Hollow.

"Boom!!!!"

The second strike caused countless cracks to spread around the Black Hollow.

"Boom!!!!!"

"..." With just three sword strikes, the six-winged Angel, at the cost of being bitten several times, having a small bloody hole in its back, and having its waist burned, completely shattered the Black Hollow Seven Bites.

Then, the Angel, who had returned to the outside world, looked up at the sunlight overhead and said, "You're injured... What a humiliation."

Upon hearing the Angel's exclamation, Xiao Cui, glancing at the Sword of the Seven Emperors that Yaochuan was diligently charging in her hand, spoke up to stall for time, "Mr. Angel, you could actually choose a less desperate fighting style."

"..." A non-all-out fighting style?

A back-and-forth exchange of attacks with those invulnerable demonic shadows? Then being dragged into the seventh stage of the Black Hollow Seven Bites, facing endless attacks?

He may have been a bit arrogant, but he wasn't a fool.

With this disdainful thought, the Six-Winged Angel raised his greatsword high towards Wind City: "You think you can stop me?!"

For the Six-Winged Angel determined to attack Wind City, Yao was unsure how long the Great Barrier could hold them off.

Chuan Guang and Xiao Cui's expressions changed drastically.

Although Xiao Cui initiated the Great Barrier and arranged for Teacher Hong to deploy the Crimson Formation on the edge of the city.

They also requested support from Cong Yu- chan and the people of the 22nd Group.

However, the Black Hollow Seven Bites Devourers held out for longer than they had expected, and they needed to find a way to buy some more time!

Thinking this, Yaochuan Guang quickly gathered her magic power, staring intently at the Angel wielding the sword. "Xiu! Xiang..."

Before Yaochuan Guang could even utter "Don't even think about it..."

"Whoosh!!!"

The Angel abruptly stopped swinging his sword, and with a flash of golden fire on the blade, he suddenly darted far away.

Yes, this is an action cancellation.

After deceiving the two with this feint, the Six-Winged Angel flapped its wings rapidly and flew towards Tongliao.

This left Yaochuan Guang and Xiao Cui a little stunned.

About two or three seconds later, the two finally reacted and immediately activated their magic to begin the chase. "Hey! How despicable of you!!!"

To Yaochuan Guang's words, the Six-Winged Angel's face showed extreme pride. "This is the principle of 'all's fair in war'... Bang!!!"

Halfway through his sentence, the six-winged Angel suddenly crashed into the Giant Serpent in front of him, nearly shattering the hovering Jormungandr Train.

"Cong Yu- chan!!!"

"Brother Cong Yu! Sister Blue Sky!"

In response to Yaochuan Guang and Xiao Cui's surprised words, Lantian Zhu glanced resentfully at Yaochuan Guang hadn't even called her name.

Cong Yu nodded, standing atop the Giant Serpent's head, gazing at the Six-Winged Angel had regained its composure.

"They actually blocked our path and launched a sneak attack... How despicable!"

Cong Yu laughed angrily at the Six-Winged Angel's words, "You bunch of guys... your double standards are so extreme, it makes you seem quite funny!"

So funny, he's such a comedian you just want to...

[Kill!]

"Kill!"

Chapter 789 Next Move, I Defend, You Attack

[I am Source Darkness Apophis]

[An enemy of light and sun]

[It is an endless, profound abyss]

[It's a future whose possibilities are predetermined.]

Extinction in the Name of Loneliness

[A deathly silence displayed in darkness]

When extinction looms and death engulfs everything, all that remains for the host is a false prosperity.

[How long can the possibility of manipulating the world at will, and the artificial prosperity it creates, last?]

[In the very end, when I grow weary of everything, all that awaits my host is an ever-deepening sense of boredom and loneliness.]

At that time, lonely souls could only depend on each other for support.

[That afternoon...]

[When my gaze fell upon the boy sitting beneath the church, his eyes cold as he sat in the shadows, I sensed...]

[Absolutely outstanding.]

His loneliness and solitude were like a calm that could swallow even the sea and storms.

[His aloofness and solitude were a kind of detachment from the world, unyielding to either the abyss or the shadows.]

It can only be him.

[He can only be the host.]

Unfortunately, he changed afterward.

[From a lonely person at the beginning, he gradually changed after meeting the blonde girl... a little bit changed.]

[Then came the white-haired girl, the guy in the white coat, the unkillable guy... little by little, people gathered around him.]

[But extinction is still extinction.]

Finally, loneliness and darkness were completely melted away by the bright and radiant light...

Even Extinction Formula has to be acknowledged.

Betrayed, having lost even its host, it finally understood what true loneliness was.

[So...]

[It's time for me to disappear.]

This is... the disappearance of Apophis!

"Don't shout! Your strange voice makes everything you say sound completely unconvincing... I'm afraid you'll start singing the next line."

Cong Yu couldn't help but complain, as the deep darkness in his hand rapidly changed its form, suddenly sweeping over the six-winged Angel.

This darkness, which should have been invincible, was blocked by the six-winged Angel wielding Divine Power... Of course, rather than being "blocked," it was more like a mutual attrition and wear and tear.

[Damn it, what do you mean by "sing"? Please stop criticizing my voice, okay? If you're really pulling me out of the scene, I can replace it with Luo Xiyi's.]

"Are you at odds with virtual singers?!"

Cong Yu continued, unable to resist criticizing what [Source Darkness Apophis] had said earlier, "Don't say things like that, it makes people think you're the victim, making me look like a heartless man."

[You are--]

"You're talking nonsense!"

That's right!

"Then let me ask you, when I was a child, did I ever sit alone in the shadows of a church? I was always very gentle in my dealings with people, and I was very conscious of my image; I was a perfectly kind monk!"

You have it in your heart!

"Then let me ask you again, was it me who took the initiative to contact you back then? Or did you cling to me like a stray dog, insisting on staying inside me?"

[Um... we're mutually in love!]

"You're talking nonsense!"

Cong Yu once again refuted the Reversal of Heavenly Gang of the Extinction Formula, the pitch-black Gathering in his hand...

It spread wildly and uncontrollably.

"Can you stop talking nonsense?"

[This isn't nonsense... I'm explaining my mental state to the audience, and also describing how we met.]

"Audience?"

[Or the reader?]

"Godly gold."

[Host, your attitude is terrible. I'm serious... When the time comes for the female lead popularity rankings, I might even surpass Yaochuan Guang and the others, and become the most popular female lead.]

"Leaving aside the question of whether your popularity could surpass that of Yaochuan Guang and the others if my story were made into an anime... the female lead? The female lead?"

Gender is irrelevant; regardless, I'm the first important person you've met!

"An important character with less than 1% screen time?"

"Um?"

[Stop talking nonsense! Fight!]

"I feel so hurt," said Source Darkness An Apophis, ignoring the fact that she had actually been chatting idly the whole time.

"It should have been done a long time ago."

Cong Yu spoke, he watched the light attack launched by the Six-Winged Angel being worn down by the darkness surrounding him.

The Six-Winged Angel whose path to China was blocked frowned as it stared at the darkness controlled by Cong Yu.
