Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The cold air of the Alps blew into the Sacred City. The cloudy air that lingered above the city during the day was lifted like a veil. The clean, golden city was immediately exposed under the clear night sky. Looking down from above, the splendid palaces, brightly lit streets, unique buildings, and glowing towers formed a vibrant vein at the western foot of the Alps, brimming with vitality!
The eastern side of the Sacred City was close to the mountains. The drop of the mountains was huge. Standing on top of the Swordback Dragon Mountain, one would be able to see the entire Sacred City at night.
Most of the time, the walls of the Swordback Dragon Mountain would glow like gold under the light. Even though there was no mist tonight, the mountain seemed to have been devoured by something. It had completely merged with the night sky, devoid of the light of the stars and the moon. It was pitch-black!
However, to everyone's surprise, even though they could not see the silhouette of the mountain clearly, it felt like the entire Sacred City could see the figure standing on top of the mountain!
Many people on the bustling streets glanced at the top of the Swordback Dragon Mountain.
At first, many people thought that it was an illusion caused by the darkness of the night. However, after more people took a closer look, they realized that there was indeed a person standing there. That person was standing in the darkness of the night, emitting a chilling evil aura!
"There's really someone there!"
"Isn't that right? I told you I wasn't seeing things."
"I saw groups of Judicators being dispatched near the Sacred Residence. Is something serious about to happen?" Many people were discussing the matter on the streets.
The Sacred City had never been so heavily guarded. So many Judicators and Great Judicators had been dispatched. Was it because of the figure standing on top of the Swordback Dragon Mountain?
"He's finally here."
A golden-haired, golden-bearded man slowly rose to his feet on top of a simple tower. His gaze passed through the bustling Sacred City. He clearly saw the figure on top of the Swordback Dragon Mountain.
"Archangel, are you sure he won't do anything reckless? After all … after all, he's an Emperor-level creature." Archangel Raphael stood below the tower and asked the golden-haired, golden-bearded man respectfully.
"That's right, imperial rank." Archangel Michael sighed, but for some reason, his emerald eyes glowed with a scorching light.
How many emperors were there in this world?
Sahara, Bermuda, Southernmost, Kunlun, Amazon, the Pyramid …
Which emperor didn't occupy a large piece of the world plate and monopolize the rich resources, leaving human beings with no choice but to hide in cage-like cities?
How much of the world's population did the Human City occupy?
Not even one percent!
The rest of the loot was split among the demon creatures. Wasn't it because of the presence of the emperors that the human Forbidden Mages did not dare to provoke?
Now, a monarch who had been in slumber for thousands of years had once again descended and started the War of the Underworld.
"If the King of Darkness doesn't want to get involved, I, Michael, will take over," Archangel Michael said.
"The War of the Underworld isn't necessarily a bad thing, now that the ocean is in turmoil …" Archangel Raphael said.
"The undead can roam freely in the human world, but they are the King of Darkness' puppets. Instead of letting this Undead Emperor slowly turn into a dark sword that the King of Darkness can use to stab us in the human world, why don't we eliminate him before he's under the King of Darkness' control? His humanity will slowly fade away as time passes. Our descendants still have to live on this land for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years. Do you think the temporary peace in Egypt and China brought by the War of the Underworld is really beneficial to us humans?" Michael asked in return.
"Indeed. If such a powerful existence is able to roam freely in the human world, it will only bring unimaginable disasters. If the Forbidden Mages aren't under control, even humans will be wiped out, let alone an undead that is slowly losing its humanity! "Raphael said.
"Humans only see the situation in front of them, and ignore the calamity in the distance. Even if the coastline falls, we still have the flatlands, the hills, and the highlands. Even the ocean might still be enough for humans to survive. However, the undead can't coexist with the living. If the darkness thrives, we will be driven away by the undead and join their army of the undead, "Michael said.
The Dark Plane should not have another Undead Emperor like him.
They only needed one Undead Emperor. No matter how intense the War of the Underworld was, the two Emperors of the Underworld would continue to recruit soldiers from the living. The War of the Underworld was only a temporary peace. When the two Emperors of the Underworld suffered great losses, the living would end up as sacrifices.
As long as there were sacrifices, massacres, and pain, the darkness would flourish even more. One day, the King of Darkness would be strong enough to break through the limits of the plane and trample the land of the human world with his hooves of darkness. When that time came, not a single human territory would be safe!
It was the reason why Michael had decided to show up.
He did not care about the Undead Emperor's stance at all. He only knew one thing, the Emperor should not exist in this world. Even if he was in a certain country, the things he did would eventually drag the entire human race into a dark abyss!
"Why didn't you deal with Khufu, then?" Raphael asked.
"In my opinion, Khufu is not as much of a threat as the Emperor," Michael said.
"Indeed, the Emperor has caused a bloodbath in the Ancient Capital as soon as he woke up. However, the only thing I'm worried about is the Sacred City … "Raphael did not dare to finish his sentence.
He was worried that the Sacred City would not be able to withstand the Emperor's wrath, since the Emperor was more of a threat than Khufu!
…
"Let's begin. What I, Michael, can do for the future generations is to kill the Infant of Darkness under the light of the Sacred City!" Michael declared.
Raphael raised a milky-white beam of light with golden edges. It soared into the sky above the city and turned into two crossed Sacred Light Swords!
The Battle Sword of Holy Light changed again. Rainbow light flashed across the night sky, enveloping the Holy City like rays of light from the firmament.
The rainbow light appeared above the people's heads. To their disbelief, the rainbow light began to render the streets of the city. It was as if the Hand of God was painting. Buildings of different shapes gradually appeared in the twisting colors. At first, it was just a silhouette, but the engravings on the glass windows were extremely detailed.
The sky above the Sacred City was no longer dark. It was a huge canvas with the city's appearance reflected on it. However, everyone in the Sacred City was watching the structure and formation of the city.
A city on the ground and a city in the sky. It was a complete mirror image!
"I feel like I'm looking down at the Sacred City from above, but I'm clearly standing on the streets of the Sacred City!"
