Many years later, when Majordomo Gail recalled that scene, he still could not hide the shock that came from the bottom of his heart.
In the endless field, in the direction where the hell creatures were worshipping, there was a slender black figure floating. A pair of unbelievably large black wings of light extended from the figure's shoulders, piercing into the sky at an angle. There were still some flickering golden runes on the wings of light.
Since ancient times, the abyssal creatures had always left people with the impression that they were violent and bloodthirsty, but at this moment, they gave people a completely different feeling.
What appeared in front of Gail was a group of creatures that were shockingly quiet. They were so docile that Gail almost suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes. Who was that person? Even the black dragons had lowered their proud heads. Gail had every reason to suspect that only the Great Demon of the Abyss Donald could have such power.
But when Gail saw the appearance of the black figure clearly, his heart calmed down a little. Although Gail did not know what the Great Demon of the Abyss Donald looked like, no matter what, the infamous Donald was definitely not a woman.
One after another, all kinds of abyssal creatures came from afar, and without exception, they all bowed down to the black figure. Who would have thought that the eyes of the minotaurs were not filled with violence, but with sincerity? Who would have thought that the black dragons, who had always looked down on all living things, would one day lower their huge bodies and not reveal arrogance, but complete submission?
However, the black figure did not seem to care about the tide of hell creatures below. Even the king of the abyss, the black dragon did not seem to be interested in her at all. She only raised her delicate chin slightly and looked up at the sky made of rocks.
She was dressed in a long black robe, and her wings were as black as ink. Strangely, she had a head of fluttering silver hair. However, her beautiful and otherworldly face made people overlook this small incongruity.
Gail had never thought that there could be such a beauty. It was so beautiful that it was soul-stirring, so beautiful that he could not bear to blaspheme it.
On that beautiful face, her eyes were as bright as the stars as she looked at the dark sky, as if something was attracting her. Inexplicably, Gail couldn't help but look up as well, but there was nothing in front of him.
Gail had just retracted his gaze when he realized that the black figure in the distance seemed to have sensed something and turned to look at him. He was shocked and quickly closed his eyes, not daring to move as bean-sized beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
At that moment, Gail had the illusion that the entire sky belonged to that black figure alone, and that no one else was allowed to touch it.
After a long time, Gail finally dared to open his eyes. At this time, the black figure had returned to its original position, as if it had never moved. But the look he gave Gail at that time was something Gail could not forget for a long time.
What kind of expression was that? The seemingly peaceful gaze flashed with grief, hatred, and a kind of relief that seemed to have let go of everything. Gail could not believe that a person's gaze could contain so much information.
Looking from afar, the black figure was like a contradictory compound. The aura emitted from the slender body was as boundless as the ocean. Under the heavy pressure of the mountain, Gail could not summon the slightest thought of resisting. He could only tightly hold onto the rock beneath him, as if this was the only thing he could do at the moment.
Wait! Black wings, silver hair?! Gail suddenly remembered an ancient legend. Could it be … that all of this was true?
Before this, Gail had always thought that it was just a legend.
The origin of the legend could be traced back to the end of the Age of Gods. It was a sad and tragic story.
The cherub Catherine was born in the human world. It was said that cherubs were the closest to gods. Although their power was inferior to the angels of authority, cherubs had the purest power aside from gods. Cherubs had no form beside gods, so Catherine could only use birth to possess a body.
However, Catherine, who possessed a human body, unfortunately also possessed feelings that did not belong to her. Then, something even more unfortunate happened. She fell in love with a human man without hesitation.
If things ended here, then god would not blame this being who had been by his side for a long time. After all, choosing to be born in such a way, while retaining all of her combat power, there would always be some regrets.
But Catherine was wrong. She overestimated her position in god's heart. She actually risked the world to have a child with that human.
Thus, the high and mighty god was enraged.
This was blasphemy from head to toe!
God's words were always highly executed. Soon, the angels of authority appeared in the human world.
Although Catherine's strength was slightly lower than the angels of authority, at their level of battle, even if they fought for a few days and nights, the final victor might not be decided.
Cherub Catherine firmly believed that with her strength, she could protect her husband and son. It had to be said that her thinking was a little naive. She thought that only after she was completely defeated could someone threaten her family.
However, the angels of authority did not think so. Carrying out god's will was the most important thing. As for the order, it could be changed at the appropriate time.
As soon as Archangel Wisdom and Archangel Karma met, they fought fiercely. They fought from the plains to the forest, from the forest to the ocean, and from the ocean to the sky. Everywhere they passed, all kinds of magical beasts and unrelated races were killed or injured.
This was a battle between gods. Every powerful existence on the continent cleverly avoided the battlefield. No fool would participate at this time. If they were caught in the crossfire, they would likely be reduced to ashes.
However, there were always people who were willing to do things that were beyond their power. They were like moths to a flame, willing to suffer even if they knew that they would die.
Catherine's husband, that human man, did not listen to Catherine's orders to hide with their son. Instead, he carried his son and chased after his wife.
Although I am not qualified to participate in the battle between you two, I have the right to face fate with you.
That way, we won't be alone.
In this life, it is enough to have you and me.
But the child is innocent! Catherine.
Even though death was imminent, the man still had that familiar smile on his face. Without us, how could you bear to let the child struggle alone in this sea of suffering? What's more, the one in the heavens wouldn't let him go, right?
The angels of authority's dignified face did not have any expression. They looked coldly at the man carrying the child under their sword and the cherub who was in pain.
The next moment, the sword that was emitting a dazzling brilliance was raised and slashed down.
Blood splattered everywhere. The man and the child fell to the ground together. However, the man's eyes were still looking at his wife who was close to him. His eyes were filled with deep love that could not be wiped away.
I don't regret …
The man did not have time to say a word. However, Catherine understood her husband's eyes.
I don't regret it either. Catherine thought in her heart.
At that moment, Catherine threw away the light sword in her hand. This was a weapon given to her by God. However, her husband and son had also died under the same weapon. There was no need for such a thing.
Kill me. Catherine seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with her. Her tone was so calm that it made one's heart palpitate.
That way, we won't be alone. Catherine said to the angels of authority. She also seemed to be talking to herself.
The angels of authority did not hesitate. They raised the light sword in their hands.
At that moment, the sky suddenly shone brightly. Accompanied by pleasant and melodious music, a majestic door appeared high above the clouds.
God's dignified voice resounded over the continent.
God said, death is also a form of betrayal. Lowly blasphemer, you need thousands of years to wash away the sins you have committed.
Lost child, let the glory of God lead you back to the sanctity of the temple. Only there can you find true salvation.
Following God's words, the door to heaven slowly opened.
Catherine looked up to the sky and smiled.
Only by losing myself can I obtain true salvation?
Why am I not allowed to have my own thoughts? I love the person I love. What sin is there?
The Archangel of Authority impatiently raised her lightsaber and shouted. Desire is the greatest sin and the deepest betrayal. Archangel Catherine, you have already sunk into the mud and are unable to extricate yourself.
Catherine looked at the familiar door to heaven from afar. Her innate beliefs and the emotions deep in her heart were fighting fiercely.
Have I betrayed?
Catherine suddenly straightened her body and shouted.
Have I betrayed?! Catherine's low voice echoed in the air.
There was silence above the clouds. The only response was that the door to heaven was slowly closing.
God's will is unquestionable. God has dignity.
Are you questioning God?! The furious angels of authority, Alpha, launched an attack.
Catherine was hit by the sword without any resistance and flew far away like a kite with a broken string.
So I have betrayed … Catherine didn't seem to care about her injuries at all. She muttered to herself. Blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth.
Blasphemer, accept the final purification! The angels of authority quickly chased after Catherine's figure.
Since I have already betrayed … then … let me betray even more thoroughly …
A huge ball of light suddenly exploded with Catherine as the center. Even with the power of the angels of authority, they were blown far away by the shockwave caused by the explosion.
When the light dissipated, Catherine had changed into a completely different appearance from before.
Her original snow-white body was replaced by a pitch-black robe, black wings of light, and her head of black hair had turned silver-white.
Fallen! You have actually fallen!! The angels of authority roared angrily.
Catherine looked up at the door to heaven that was gradually disappearing and said with a proud tone. I have abandoned everything you have given me. The current me belongs to myself.
You blasphemer who deserves to die, prepare to sink into the abyss of hell!! The angels of authority, Alpha, roared and charged at Catherine.
That is exactly what I want to do. Catherine looked at the angels of authority. Her eyes flashed with countless emotions. Was it pity? Was it sorrow? Or was it anger? No one could see it clearly. No one could explain it clearly.
The angels of authority couldn't either. But for some reason, Catherine's gaze actually made him faintly feel a trace of fear …
If the door to heaven is not destroyed, I would rather fall into hell forever! Catherine's clear voice surged between heaven and earth.
As soon as her voice fell, the door to heaven completely disappeared.
The angels of authority finally knew why they were afraid. At this moment, Catherine was no different from a demon in their eyes.
A holy light suddenly descended from the sky and enveloped the angels of authority. The angels of authority, who were already incomparably powerful, suddenly felt their strength rise by a few levels. They excitedly waved their light swords and charged at Catherine.
Catherine, who had just transformed into a fallen angel, had consumed a large portion of her strength. On the other hand, the angels of authority opposite her had their strength soared with the help of the holy light. As soon as they exchanged blows, they were surrounded by danger. The battle became completely one-sided.
Despite this, Catherine still fought to the death and did not retreat. To be precise, ever since she transformed into a fallen angel, she had not taken a step back.
Taking a step back would allow one to see the world.
However, retreating also required a reason.
At this moment, who could give Catherine a reason to retreat?!
The person who was qualified to make a fallen angel retreat was already lying in a pool of blood.
Since there was no turning back, then let's fight.
For the first time in her life, Catherine, who was fighting for herself, looked at her opponent with pity in her eyes. Once upon a time, she was like the angels of authority in front of her, following the will of God as the highest standard. However, she had never thought that when having emotions became a luxury, was it a blessing or a misfortune to be such a lofty walking corpse?
In the eyes of God, Catherine had fallen.
But in Catherine's heart, she had been reborn.
In the confrontation between beliefs and ego, ego had the upper hand.
As a result, Catherine had another felony.
But at this moment, she no longer cared. Since she had chosen to fall, there was no turning back.
After transforming into a fallen angel, Catherine's personality seemed to have changed. She abandoned her previous gorgeous fighting style, and every move was a desperate fighting style.
The battle gradually entered a white-hot stage. Although the strength of the angel of authority had increased, he was still in a sorry state facing Catherine, who had stimulated all her potential. The white robe on his body was cut several times, and even his incomparably dignified face had several bloodstains.
Catherine should be proud to be able to force the angel of authority, Lord Alpha, whose combat strength was infinitely close to that of God, to this extent. However, the price she paid was even more disastrous.
The black light wings behind Catherine were already so thin that they were unrecognizable. She had been stabbed countless times all over her body, and she was almost covered in blood.
Gradually, a hint of helplessness appeared in Catherine's eyes. She could feel that she had little strength left. The angel of authority who had been blessed by the holy light was really not someone she could defeat …
That's it, Catherine thought silently. Since I can't defeat him, then … I'll just destroy him together.
Self-detonation, this large-scale killing method of low-level angels that had always been successful, appeared in Catherine's mind for the first time in history.
I really didn't expect that I would have to use such a despicable method, Catherine thought with some amusement.
In the eyes of the angel of authority, Catherine's smile was strange no matter how he looked at it. It was obvious that the angel of authority could not understand the meaning behind this smile. But for a person who was about to die, the angel of authority disdained to analyze why she would show such an inappropriate smile.
All the evil in the world would eventually be washed away under the glory of God.
The angel of authority's sword slashed down with the force of a thousand catties, and a satisfied look appeared in his eyes. Everything was over.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. A demon scythe appeared out of thin air and blocked the angel of authority's sure-kill sword.
The angel of authority reacted extremely quickly. He ignored the great demon who had suddenly appeared and quickly flew into the air. At the same time, two demon scythes swept past the angel of authority's feet.
Katherine! How dare you collude with demons!! The angel of authority quickly shuttled left and right in the air while roaring angrily.
The figures of more than a dozen great demons of the abyss appeared and disappeared in the air. Every time they flashed, they would appear beside the angel of authority. But in the end, they were not as fast as the angel of authority. The demon scythes that were as fast as lightning always swept past the angel of authority by a hair's breadth.
Catherine, who was prepared to self-detonate, was stunned. Compared to the joy of escaping death, she wanted to know why these great demons had helped her. After all, angels and demons were eternal opposites.
At this moment, the angel of authority's roar was getting further and further away until it disappeared. Catherine was somewhat surprised. The angel of authority, who had always been extremely proud and high above, had actually fled! However, this was understandable. It was true that the angel of authority had no emotions, but he was not an idiot. The siege of more than a dozen great demons was enough to make him flustered. With the addition of a fallen angel, it could be said that he had no chance of winning at all.
In other words, the honorable angel of authority had made a strategic move …
Welcome to the Abyss. The leading great demon appeared beside Catherine and said with a smile.
Welcome? Catherine was a little dazed. She remembered that every time she returned to the Gate of Heaven, she would hear such a sentence. Welcome back to the holy palace …
It was the same welcome, but the difference between them was like heaven and earth.
Just like that, Catherine entered the Abyss. At that moment, the natives of the Abyss cheered thunderously. The addition of the fallen angel was undoubtedly a heavy weight in the confrontation with the surface world.
Majordomo Gail moved at a snail's speed and shrank into the crack bit by bit. When his entire body retreated into the crack, he still did not dare to speed up. He had experienced countless life and death situations, but he had never been afraid of anything. Now, it was as though there was an invisible hand squeezing his heart, making him feel uneasy.
(Tragic, too tragic. I clearly finished updating yesterday, but I only found out when I saw the book review section today that I didn't update it! I quickly checked the relevant regulations. I have to write 10,000 words today to make up for the full attendance award. In other words, I have to write 15,000 words today … I really can't do this. Consider yourself unlucky. This chapter is for today. Tears …)
