Clang!
In the melodious sound of the bell.
The thick sea of clouds in the sky was suddenly torn apart, and the brilliant golden sun shone down.
At the boundary between the sunny weather and the violent wind and the raging waves.
A figure that was even more brilliant than the sun stood in the sky. Two huge wings that seemed to be made of pure gold stretched out from his back as if covering the sky.
One of them held up the lightning halberd that fell from the sky, and the other held down the water staff that protruded like a mountain peak.
Crackle!
Lightning shot out in all directions, and waves splashed …
In the ear-piercing sound that made one's teeth ache, the ultimate blow of the two goddesses finally stopped.
Seeing this, the third-grade and fourth-grade onlookers on the Wings of Deities and Demons, who had already stood at the peak of the transcendent, couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Gods possessed boundless power within their domain of divinity. Even if they were careless, they could cause disasters, not to mention clashing with their own authority.
As for the residents of the Black Sea coast, they had already escaped a calamity without knowing it!
"Who is it?!"
A surprised voice came from the sky and the sea at the same time. The voice was vast and echoed for a long time, like raging waves and thunder.
However.
In the face of the existence that could block their attacks, the halberd and the staff that represented their respective authorities were finally retracted.
The pair of wings that covered the sky slowly shrank and turned back into a pair of normal golden wings, revealing the true appearance of the "disruptor."
There seemed to be a halo of light above his head.
The body that was as stalwart and masculine as an ancient hero was covered with shining armor that seemed to be condensed by sunlight, and a simple white cloth robe on the outside.
And the most eye-catching thing was.
It was that he carried a huge "black cross" that was taller than a person on his shoulder. It was made of black metal and densely covered with patterns of tulips, waves, and thorns. Each of the four corners was inlaid with a bright ruby that was cut into the shape of a crown.
If someone among the "mortals" who were watching at this time tried to use spiritual vision to observe this "black cross," then the only outcome would be to be blinded by the brilliant spiritual light, or even lose control and go crazy.
Because it was a genuine divine artifact!
And the "person" who could use the divine artifact, of course, was …
"I serve the Angel Bellenus under the Goddess! Why don't the two of you stop here? "
The angel standing in the air was as warm as the sun. He seemed to be speaking politely, but his arrogant attitude was like an elder lecturing two children. His tone was unquestionable.
However, the first reaction of the two goddesses who ruled the Black Sea was not to fly into a rage from being offended. Instead, they instantly retracted their power as if they were facing a great enemy.
A man's name is like the shadow of a tree.
The number one fighter of the Goddess of Royalty and Navigation, the Holy Angel Bellenus, had many titles, such as "Goddess's Flagbearer," "Bellringer," "Highest Angel," "Sun Crown," and so on.
At the same time, he was also the strongest angel under the Goddess!
So the question was, what was an angel?
True Gods were great existences that surpassed humans in terms of ability, wisdom, form, status, thinking, cognition, and even dimensions. While they were high and mighty, it was also difficult for humans to acknowledge them.
Their images could not be observed by humans. Their words could not be understood by humans. Their thoughts could not be understood by humans. When humans faced True Gods, the difference between them was thousands of times greater than the difference between ants and humans!
The name of God, the deeds of God, and the teachings of God were all written and spread by humans who had been enlightened by God over countless years. This allowed more humans to hear God's holy words, bask in God's glory, and receive God's gifts!
And who taught this knowledge to humans?
It was the "medium" and "bridge" between the Supreme Gods and humans — angels!
There were also theologians who believed that although the Seven Supreme Gods that human civilization currently believed in were difficult to understand or even imagine …
Their appearance should be mainly composed of two parts.
They were the "hidden" Taiyi (Taiyi in philosophy meant single, unique, without boundaries, without distinction, and oneself as one) and the "obvious" Taiyi.
The hidden Taiyi could be seen as the transcendence of God, and the obvious Taiyi could be interpreted as an "angel!"
The status of an "angel" was equal to that of a demigod. It had the "divinity" that was close to the Supreme Gods, and it also had the "humanity" that could be close to humans.
This divine existence mainly came from two aspects. One was a small side manifestation of the Supreme Gods. It was an incarnation that represented a certain characteristic of a True God. Its status was weakened and its personality was independent. The other was the "God of the Outer Dao" that conquered other civilizations or regions in the external divine war!
And in the legends, two to three thousand years ago in the historical records, this Holy Angel Belenus was already an ancient demigod that wandered on this archipelago. He had the divine titles of "Sun" and "Battle" and ruled the ancient ancestors here.
Finally.
This powerful demigod was conquered by the True God, "Goddess of Royalty" Hercatelle, who rose in that era. He entered the Goddess' kingdom and became her strongest warrior and her strongest messenger.
The skill he was good at … physical negotiation!
And Pope St. Brujolin, the Goddess's representative on earth, had the ability to complete "Holy Descent" at any time and summon the most powerful angel under the Goddess to descend.
Even if a demigod had infinite power in his own divine title, in other aspects, he was only superior to any Stage Four Extraordinary. His weaknesses could even be exploited and sealed by mortals.
So even if the two Goddesses worked together and had the infinite power to drag the entire Black Sea coast to the bottom of the sea, they did not dare to rashly confront this existence known for his combat strength.
Especially since Hipponoa had just been released from three hundred years of imprisonment.
She decided not to pursue who was the real mastermind behind the scenes at that time (nor did she dare to). And after experiencing eight hundred years and three hundred years of darkness, she no longer wanted to live like that.
This was also the fundamental reason why she did not immediately set off a disaster for revenge like before after being released from her imprisonment.
She, who had risen from an ordinary mortal, had suffered a series of hardships and realized that even a noble demigod could not do whatever he wanted in this world.
Unless he had truly fallen into an evil god who lived without a fixed residence and relied on blood sacrifice to survive, he would always be restrained.
Especially when there was the pressure of the Church of a true God above, the checks and balances of competitors in the middle, and some mortals whose strength was not worth mentioning but who possessed extraordinary wisdom below, eyeing him covetously.
The long years had given Hipponoa unattainable experience, and it also allowed him to make the wisest choice.
However, the other "young" demigod who had not suffered any setbacks was obviously walking on her old path.
Unlike Hipponoa, who had become a human god, Erketo, who had become a god of the foreign species, spent all his time in the deep sea with his sea monster descendants and was obviously more reclusive.
Even though they had also heard of the holy angel's name, how could the "Mother of Sea Monsters", who was hostile to human beings and had the iron-headed doctrine that she would purge the entire continent one day, back off so easily?
This was probably how a "local snake" thought when facing a "strong dragon." "Come and suppress me if you can!"
The giant face in the clouds shook.
At the same time that it crudely blocked the sunlight again, what returned the favor to the angel was a torrential downpour of ball-shaped lightning!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
"Sigh, I really don't have the talent to reason with others."
Belnus sighed softly, but miraculously, he finished his exclamation before the thunderbolt arrived.
Grabbing the huge "black cross" on his shoulder, he smashed it down at the lightning that was striking down.
[Divine Spell, Sun Crown!]
With the dual domain of [Battle] and [Sun], Belnus instantly crushed the thunderbolt into sparks with his immense strength.
At the same time, above the pitch-black sea of clouds that the "Mother of Sea Monsters" used to seal the sky, four golden crowns surrounded by blazing flames silently appeared.
After receiving the divine power of the sun above the clouds, golden light poured out from the golden radiance.
Boundless golden light poured out like a hot knife cutting through butter. In just a few breaths of time, the pitch-black sea of clouds had been completely dispersed.
In the clash of divine power, the "Mother of Sea Monsters" … was completely defeated!
"Ah!"
After a short cry of pain, half of a pitch-black octopus limb fell from the sky like a burnt octopus limb. The "Mother of Sea Monsters" that had been so powerful had disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the sea again, how could Hipponoa, who saw that the situation was not good, stay any longer? The giant whirlpool also calmed down completely in the blink of an eye.
The hurricane and tsunami were eliminated, and sunlight shrouded the place once again. Even in the distant sea, it was a rare sunny day!
"As expected, it's better to convince with force than with reason …"
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden radiance that filled the world flashed and disappeared, leaving only a white-haired old man standing in the air.
After completing the mission, the Holy Angel Belnus had returned directly.
The disaster was eliminated, and the "mission" was completed.
His Holiness the Pope looked into the distance.
As a puny mortal, he could not fathom the might and plans of a true god. Even the honorable Pope was the same.
Before receiving the oracle, even he did not know the truth behind the "octopus ghost attack."
And at the same time that he received the oracle, St. Brook Jolin also received a mission from the goddess!
In fact.
Even if the "Mother of Sea Monsters" did not take action, St. Brook Jolin and Belnus, who came with the mission, would create trouble and take the initiative to attack her. Otherwise … How could they balance the power of the two gods of the Black Sea?
At the same time, it also clearly drew a red line for them. The two demigods could fight, but the bottom line was that they were not allowed to personally cause a large-scale disaster that affected the human world.
A moment later, everything was calm.
On the way back on the Wings of Deities and Demons.
Ilvidi, who had witnessed the battle between the demigods, was deep in thought. In the end, she could not help but avoid the two peak Extraordinaries of the Tylon Kingdom and quietly came to St. Brook Jolin's side.
She whispered, "Your Holiness, about that, did we really not know anything about the lifting of the seal on the sea demoness?"
Hearing this, the old man had an inexplicable expression. After a long while, he said something that seemed to be unrelated to the question.
"Maybe … Cilius, who believes in the Eternal Fire, has been the overlord of the sea for too long?"
