Sophia's Counsel

Outside the Golden Hall.

The two Fourteen-Winged Angel left behind by Sophia saw Annatania walking out with firm steps, realized her thoughts, and were startled. They quickly tried to dissuade her.

"Your Majesty, you are the esteemed Empress, destined to reside in Paradise Mountain. How can you go to the front lines to fight?"

Annatania shook her head and chuckled softly.

"It is precisely because I am a superstar that I must join the fight."

Look!

She pointed to the vast, boundless battlefield of the cosmos and said firmly.

"My husband is fighting, my children are fighting, my people are fighting, my people are fighting, my subordinates are fighting."

"Angel, gods, Mortal Legend, Devil, Elf, Giant, Dragon, Dwarf, Troll, Fairy, Human Race, Merfolk, Sea Folk, Half-Orc Orc, and billions of other races are fighting, risking their lives for this universe, for our home."

Why can't I fight?

"However, you also need to mobilize all the power of the entire universe and all the resources of the world. Only when you are stationed on Paradise Mountain will the people on the front lines feel at ease."

The Fourteen-Winged Angel guard said with concern.

"It's alright, I will bring the seriously injured Sophia to Paradise Mountain, and she will take charge of the affairs of Paradise Mountain for me."

There are always casualties in war.

This war was so brutal that many powerful warriors perished.

Sophia had been severely wounded by the enemy in the previous war, and Annatania was sent back to recuperate and take charge of the war effort.

The fourteen-winged Angel remained silent for a moment upon hearing this, before finally sighing and nodding.

"I understand, Your Majesty."

She knelt down on one knee.

"But Your Majesty, you cannot go to the battlefield alone. You must lead our Paradise Mountain Guard Legion to the front lines."

Annatania glanced at her, then at the fierce fighting spirit in the eyes of every Angel remaining on the Sevenfold Heaven Mountain Paradise Mountain.

"I agree, but a sufficient number of people must remain at Paradise Mountain to ensure its smooth operation and avoid impacting the overall war effort. The rest of you can come with me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The Angel guarding outside the Golden Hall exchanged smiles and exclaimed loudly.

"I am willing to die for Your Majesty!"

"Not me, but our universe, our home."

Annatania smiled and nodded.

Three days later.

Pale-faced and heavily wounded, Sophia returned to Paradise Mountain from the front lines with a frown.

She perished along with Tairid, who died in battle.

This is Sophia's general, and also the son of Annatania and Lord of Heaven Jiang Yuu.

Tairid's death was like a catalyst for the entire Original Universe faction's army.

The noble Sons of Lord of Heaven have fallen in battle; how can they, as Lord of Heaven's people, not fight valiantly?

Annatania welcomed Sophia back.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sophia."

"It's not hard work, Your Majesty. I am also an Angel. To die on the battlefield would be the best ending for me."

Sophia said dejectedly.

In the previous battle, her Angel Legion was ambushed and killed when they were fighting outside the Great Wall of Stars. The entire legion suffered heavy casualties, and even Tairid was killed in battle.

"Your Majesty, Tairid's death was my fault. I beg you to allow me to return to the battlefield and wash away my sins with my death."

What sins have you committed?

Annatania patted her on the shoulder reassuringly.

"Many people will die in this war."

"Tairid may be my son, but he is also one of the Angel, and is not invincible in battle."

Even though he died on the battlefield, I am proud of him.

Annatania then walked to the side of the fallen Tairid, stroking his broken wings, his shattered body, and his fragmented Angel Heart. A deep sorrow welled up in her heart, but she suppressed it.

This was, after all, her flesh and blood, her son; her desire to fight only intensified.

"Bury him, among our Warrior, and don't make him any special case."

"But he was a prince of Paradise Mountain and deserved a more honorable funeral."

An Angel Warrior spoke up.

However, Annatania shook her head.

"Now, the man lying here, Tairid, is not a prince, but an Angel Warrior. Let him rest in the body of Warrior, buried with his companions."

"I know my son; this is what he wants."

"I understand, Your Majesty!"

The Angel Warrior carrying Tairid's body nodded and departed with his remains.

then.

Annatania then looked at Sophia and spoke.

"Sophia, you are seriously wounded, so stay at Paradise Mountain to recuperate. I will go to the front lines to take your place in battle."

Sophia was shocked to hear this.

"How can this be, Your Majesty?"

"Your ability to command wars, coordinate all affairs, and hold the rear is far more useful than your ability to go to the battlefield."

"Lucifer is enough to command a war."

Annatania laughed.

"As for coordinating the rear, your abilities are more than sufficient."

"And I, too, am a Quasi-Supreme, a force capable of fighting."

Having served as the Secretary-General of Paradise Mountain for so many years, Sophia's political abilities are more than sufficient, and she is even more adept at handling some minor matters.

"Besides, you're seriously injured; this is a good time for you to recuperate."

"No, Your Majesty."

Sophia still objected, and she knelt down directly.

"Wouldn't it make us look incredibly incompetent to send our esteemed and beautiful queen to the front lines?"

"If we can't even protect you, what kind of citizens are we, the inhabitants of Paradise Mountain?"

"Furthermore, if something were to happen to you on the battlefield, what a severe blow it would be to the morale of the troops in the Original Universe Paradise Mountain camp. Have you considered that?"

Annatania fell silent upon hearing this.

She was aware of these problems, of course, but the intense fighting on the front lines made it difficult for her to feel at ease.

"And one more thing, Your Majesty."

Sophia tilted her head back, looked at her beautiful and charming diva, and said softly.

"Though you reside on Paradise Mountain, your presence is not absent."

"Even if you don't participate in the battle, the Starlight Armies will still be wary of your presence and will keep someone of equal strength as a backup."

"Furthermore, if you go into battle, what will the enemy think when they see you?"

"Has Paradise Mountain reached the point where even the Heavenly Queen has to fight? Doesn't that make them think victory is in sight?"

"Doing this will do more harm than good, Your Majesty."

"Therefore, you really don't need to intervene until the very last moment."

After Sophia finished speaking sincerely, she expressed her belief in the diva's wisdom.

Annatania finally stopped in her tracks after hearing these remarks.

Sophia is absolutely right.

The war is of unknown duration, and her deployment to the front lines is indeed only a last resort.

Thinking of this, she sighed and decided to listen to Sophia, but she was not happy.

Just then...

A beautiful Fourteen-Winged Angel swiftly flew to the summit of Paradise Mountain, outside the Golden Hall, and proclaimed loudly.

"Mother, please let me fight in your place."
