The age of Michael
Lucifer despised these cowards even more than Ireta.
"Master Aeryta, send out your elite Fallen Angel squad and slaughter these guys."
Abyss Blood War in the abyss above, where red and yellow hues were indistinguishable.
The twelve black-winged female Angel gritted their teeth.
Upon hearing this, Aeryta shook her head and refused.
"No need for that, Lucifer. Keep them; I still have a use for them."
What use is all this garbage?
Lucifer pursed his lips.
A deep glint flashed in Aeryta's eyes.
"Of course there are. If they die, they become martyrs, and it doesn't implicate those behind them. But if they're alive, I can address the root cause."
After saying that, she looked at Lucifer and said...
"Lucifer, things cannot always be solved through Slaughter. Your temperament is still too violent."
"Okay, okay, I know, Master Aeryta, you still love to lecture me."
Lucifer quickly answered.
"Besides, my approach can solve some problems. Our Lord said that Paradise Mountain needs different people to solve different problems. A one-size-fits-all approach is not conducive to solving problems."
"Okay, you have a point."
Aeryta nodded, ending the conversation.
She looked down at the battlefield.
"This war can end now. A month is indeed the limit for these young people."
Lucifer nodded in agreement.
"Alright, let's end it here. From now on, we'll each take up positions on the Blood War Field, keeping the war at a low intensity but not over."
"Yes, and also, a major war can be launched every hundred years to subject these young people to the baptism of large-scale, high-intensity warfare."
Aeryta nodded.
"Okay, then it's settled for now."
That's all.
The two exchanged another blow in perfect unison, and the vast aftershocks of energy swept across the entire battlefield.
The Angel and Demon on the entire battlefield were stunned by the sudden, overwhelming power.
But from the outside world...
The rules of war and Kingship clashed swiftly across the entire Astral Realm, only to dissolve just as quickly.
But such a commotion was enough to make the entire Astral Realm aware of the clash between Rule Grade combatants.
In countless worlds, powerful beings from distant Astral Realm and deep space gaze in the direction of Paradise Mountain.
"War and Kingship are at war between the fallen Abyss, Lucifer, the Lord of Hell, and the Vice-Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom."
An existence possessing Eternal Divine Power gazed into endless space and time, feeling the aftershocks of this battle of rules.
"Strange, this time when attacking the Abyss, Paradise Mountain only sent Angel instead of summoning the Transcendent legions from all the heavens and the myriad realms. Is it because this is an internal matter for the Angel, and they want to handle it themselves?"
Above the Blood War Field.
After colliding with Aeryta, Lucifer quickly retreated to a distance of thousands of miles.
She lowered the Black and White Holy Sword in her hand, wiped away the bright red blood that had just appeared at the corner of her mouth, and roared at the entire battlefield.
"What a Vice-Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom! What a Supreme Lord of the Underworld! What terrifyingly Rule of Kingship!"
"Damn Aeryta, I admit you're strong! But this time, you can't defeat me, nor can you break my upright spine."
"There aren't many people on Paradise Mountain who can make me feel pressured, but you're one of them!"
"Your exquisite Swordsmanship is unparalleled in the world. No wonder my lord praised you as 'the pinnacle of swordsmanship below myself on Paradise Mountain!' You are strong, truly strong!"
"You really are me..."
He kept talking incessantly, ostensibly scolding, but actually praising Lucifer.
Aeryta's lips twitched; she couldn't listen any longer and quickly interrupted.
"Alright, Lucifer, let's leave it at that for now. Paradise Mountain will not allow you to lead the Abyss Demon to rise again and wreak havoc on the beings of the Astral Realm."
"Hmph, then we'll fight again next time!"
"Next time, I'll unleash my full power!"
Above the Blood War Field, Lucifer stood with one hand on his hip and the other holding a sword, his face serious.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you!"
Aeryta ignored her and returned to the battlefield, sounding the retreat horn.
"Angel Warrior, retreat!"
Seeing Aeryta go down, Lucifer grinned and went down to the battlefield as well, issuing the order to retreat.
In an instant.
An eerie silence descended upon the battlefield, broken only by the flapping of wings and the sound of retreating footsteps.
That concludes the discussion.
The young Angel of Paradise Mountain then engaged in a battle with the Demon army of the Abyss that lasted for ten thousand years.
Under the precise control of Lucifer and Aeryta.
They clashed back and forth on the Abyss Blood War Field, engaging in battle after battle, yet neither could gain the upper hand and achieve a complete victory in the Abyss Blood War.
Through millennia of bloody battles, many young Angel have grown up at an unimaginable speed.
Of course, some of the cowards and fearful among the Angel were also purged.
After each major battle, Aeryta would record those who showed cowardice and weakness in the fighting, and afterwards purge these people and the Angel Ascension system behind them.
She removed the malignant tumors hidden in the shadows of Paradise Mountain's brilliance.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that some Faith Angel, who did indeed make great contributions in their original world, were of noble character, but feared war.
She restricted the growth of these Angel, but she also gave them opportunities.
She would only accept them again if they could change themselves and prove themselves again on the battlefield.
Among these people are those who overcame fear, washed away shame, and proved themselves anew on the battlefield, shining brightly once again.
After these Faith Angel struck down their thunderbolts.
The Dark Tribunal making quite a splash lately, with countless Angel wielding Tribunal Divine Chains of Judgment, venturing time and again into the endless world to capture and slay those "maggots" beneath the radiance of Paradise Mountain.
They slaughtered countless people, showing no mercy whatsoever.
The atmosphere throughout the entire Astral Realm was cleansed.
Regarding the Abyss.
Among the Abyss Demon under Lucifer's command, some have distinguished themselves, displaying Talent and combat prowess.
These people were marked by Lucifer.
Once Greater Divine Power emerge from these Demon, she will begin the Abyss's renewed invasion of all realms.
And so, ten thousand years later...
The year is 99999 in the Angel Empire Calendar.
Lucifer assembled her first batch of grown Demon into the Expeditionary Demon Legion and invaded the first world she chose.
Suddenly invaded by the Abyss, this world, which had enjoyed peace for tens of thousands of years, suffered heavy casualties in an instant. Many Kingdom were destroyed and countless people fled.
The most Greater Divine Power in the heavens were powerless to protect their people.
Faced with such a desperate situation.
The church and rulers of that world quickly reported to the central world of their star system, which in turn reported to the provincial capital world of that star system.
This provincial capital star system is ruled by a Ten-Winged Angel.
This Ten-Winged Angel, who had once been the Death Angel under Aeryta's command, dared not delay and immediately reported to Paradise Mountain.
This was something the Vice-Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom had instructed him to do beforehand.
Six months later.
At the end of the year 99999 of the Angel Empire Calendar.
The Nirvana Angel Legion has arrived.
And so it happened in that year.
The war between Angel and Demon began in the Abyss Blood War Field and spread to the endless world.
The second year.
Angel Empire Calendar Year 100,000.
Aeryta has stepped down as Vice-Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom.
With the gods, Angel, and powerful beings of the heavenly Rule Grade of Paradise Mountain as witnesses, Michael was personally crowned as the new Vice-Sovereign of the Heavenly Kingdom by Queen of Heaven Annatania.
The Age of Michael begins.
