Under the leadership of Bana, the soldiers of Bimon rushed towards the city gate, wielding battle axes and swinging them at the gate.

The huge and sturdy city gate was quickly hacked open by the soldiers of Bimon, and billowing smoke and dust erupted from the gate.

Soon, the gate was split open, and Diose, holding a double-headed hook sickle spear, emerged. His eyes emitted a cold gleam, and his face was full of killing intent.

Bana, wielding a war hammer, quickly charged forward.

Diose's double-headed hook sickle spear emitted a chilling light as he directly lunged forward, choosing to confront his opponent head-on. Only in this way would his people behind him not fear the Bimon.

"Kill!!!" Diose shouted in rage as his body suddenly accelerated and he charged at Bana.

Diose and Bana collided in mid-air.

"A loud bang!" was heard as Diose's double-headed hook sickle spear directly pierced Bana's chest, nailing his body to the city wall.

"Crack!!!" accompanied by the sound of bones breaking, Bana's body was pierced through.

Then, Diose pulled out the hook sickle spear, and with a "thump," Bana's body fell to the ground, like a dog eating shit, twitching and spitting out large amounts of black viscous liquid from his mouth.

"Fight against our Angelic tribe, and you are looking for death." Diose directly pulled out the double-headed hook sickle spear and fiercely stabbed it into Bana's head with all his strength.

"Splat!!!" accompanied by the sound of a blade piercing flesh, Bana's head was directly punctured, and a large head fell from his neck, landing on the ground.

A shower of blood sprayed out, covering the entire city gate. In that pool of blood, mixed with a large head - Bana's head.

"Charge! Kill these savage worms." Diose raised his double-headed hook sickle spear high and shouted loudly.

The soldiers of the Guard Legion raised their weapons and rushed towards the city gate to fight against the insect tribe.

Gradually, Diose revealed his angelic form, with his body shining with a golden radiance. His pair of steel wings flapped incessantly, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, looking exceptionally sharp.

His body was covered in a layer of steel armor, perfectly protecting Diose. It was like a fortress made of iron, giving a strong visual impact.

Diose spread his wings and quickly flew towards the city gate, swinging his double-headed hook sickle spear, sweeping away the insect soldiers at the city gate.

Under Diose's leadership, the insect soldiers along the way dared not resist him and dodged one after another.

For a while, Diose was like a demon god, rampaging.

The soldiers on the city wall were shocked when they saw their Emperor's appearance. A scream came from the crowd, "An angel! It's an angel!"

"The Emperor is an angel!!" someone shouted loudly, their face filled with shock.

Hearing the word "angel," the insect troops on the city wall were stunned, their faces filled with astonishment. They didn't expect angels to be here.

"Don't stop, prepare the ballistas, fire at them!" The captain of the Guard Legion stood on the city wall and shouted loudly at the insect soldiers at the city gate.

Following his order, one after another crossbow arrows shot out, dense as rain, towards the insect soldiers at the city gate.

The arrows poured down like a storm, and the insect soldiers at the city gate immediately screamed in pain, with many of them shot and fallen to the ground.

The soldiers of the Empire of Blue Moon rushed out with their weapons to fight against the insect tribe, and the two sides fought fiercely.

"Splish!" the great sword of an insect soldier pierced the body of a human soldier, instantly puncturing his body, with blood flowing endlessly from the sword, splattering everywhere.

Using his last bit of strength, the human soldier pierced the spear into the body of the insect warrior, killing him. Then, he fell back with his head up and could no longer get up.

"Ballistas! Push them out and kill them!" the captain of the Guard Legion shouted loudly, his voice filled with a threatening tone.

One ballista after another was pushed out, their barrels aimed at the demon race outside the city. The captain of the Guard Legion operated the ballistas and launched one arrow after another, killing one demon soldier after another.

"Fire the arrows! Fire the arrows!!" the captain of the Guard Legion shouted madly.

The soldiers quickly brought one magic crossbow after another, and loaded them with magical bolts. They aimed at the dread fiends in front and pulled the triggers, shooting arrows that killed the dread fiends and sent their bodies flying.

At this moment, the launch keys of the ballistae were all smoking from the commander's constant pressing.

Dios thrust his double-headed hook sickle spear brutally into the abdomen of a Bimon soldier, pulling out his intestines and tearing open his stomach, letting his innards spill out, a gruesome sight to behold.

Seeing how ferocious the angel was, Salas turned and ran in fright.

However, no matter how fast Salas ran, he couldn't outrun the ballistae. His speed, though fast, was slow in this situation and made him an easy target to be shot at by the ballistae. The soldiers' arrows shot directly into his body, leaving him covered in wounds and blood.

Soon, an arrow pierced through Salas' chest, leaving him lying in a pool of blood.

Dios waved his double-headed hook sickle spear fiercely, knocking down a Bimon warrior instantly.

He inserted the spear into the man's head, crushing it and causing blood to gush out.

Seeing their comrades being killed, the remaining dozen or so Bimon warriors roared in anger and charged towards Dios.

These Bimon warriors' attacks were extremely fierce, stomping on the ground and throwing punches at Dios.

But Dios swept his double-headed hook sickle spear in a circle, releasing a burst of violent energy that knocked the Bimon warriors to the ground.

In an instant, Dios killed all the remaining Bimon warriors, stunning the soldiers on the city wall. They never expected their emperor to be so powerful.

"Ah!!!" One Bimon warrior roared in anger, wielding a massive wolf-toothed club, and swung it at Dios.

Dios' curved double-headed hook sickle spear quickly swept out, knocking the club away, then heavily cleaving the warrior at the waist, cutting him in half.

With a powerful kick off the ground, Dios leapt into the air, his double-headed hook sickle spear carrying a sharp gust of wind as it slashed towards the Bimon warrior.

With a snap, the spear chopped off the Bimon warrior's head, sending blood splattering everywhere.

Dios single-handedly killed the remaining Bimon soldiers, leaving their bodies lying on the ground, blood flowing out and staining his armor.

With the death of the bug queen and the killing of the dread fiend general, the remaining dread fiend soldiers fled in defeat and quickly disappeared into the night.

Facing the crossbows in the front and an angel in the back, the remaining bug warriors could only fight in desperation.

Soon, there were only two to three hundred bug soldiers left on the battlefield. Under the fire from the ballistae and crossbows, the number of bug soldiers dwindled rapidly until they were completely annihilated.

Outside the walls of the Empire of Azure Moon, the ground was covered with piles of bug corpses, the red and green blood intermingling and making people nauseous.

In this war, the Empire of Azure Moon emerged victorious.

Dios descended slowly, planted his double-headed hook sickle spear into the ground, and walked towards the city.

As soon as he entered the city, he heard cheers coming from the soldiers, who were rejoicing. It seemed that news of their victory had reached their ears.

"Long live His Majesty!!!" Many soldiers kneeled and cheered on the ground.

Seeing the excitement of the soldiers, Dios couldn't help but smile.

"Repair the city gate and hang the heads of the dread fiend clan on the city wall. Retrieve the bodies of the guard squadron soldiers and bury them in the city's cemetery. Provide compensation to their families. Burn the rest of the bodies." Dios ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty," the guard squadron commander responded.

Immediately, the commander issued a series of orders and soldiers began to busily work. They quickly opened the city gate, and rows of soldiers walked out to clean up the battlefield and transport the bodies to the city's cemetery.

Dios spread his iron wings and flew towards the palace, entering it.

Within the palace, a woman dressed in luxurious attire paced back and forth, her brows furrowed with worry.

The woman was none other than Queen Saloras, the mother of Dios, the Emperor of the Cangyue Empire.

"Mother, why aren't you resting yet?" Dios descended from the sky and landed beside Saloras, asking with concern.

Seeing Dios return safely, Saloras breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at her bloodied son, worry filled her eyes as she anxiously asked, "Dios, what happened? Are you injured?"

Hearing his mother's words, Dios hesitated for a moment and shook his head. "I'm fine."

"Are you really okay?" Saloras continued to worry.

"Mother, I'm fine," Dios gently patted his mother's fragrant shoulder and reassured her.

Seeing that her son was indeed unharmed, Saloras finally eased her worried heart.

Having already lost one son, Saloras could not afford to lose Dios. Although she was mentally prepared for the inevitable deaths in the struggle for the throne, she still felt unbearable pain and her eyes welled up with tears, reflecting a complex mix of emotions.

"Mother, let me go back to my room and change into clean clothes. We can talk later," Dios looked at Saloras and spoke softly.

Hearing Dios' words, Saloras nodded lightly. "Yes, go ahead."

"Then, I take my leave, Mother." After bowing respectfully, Dios turned and left the hall.

Dios went to the bathhouse, took off his blood-soaked robe, and changed into clean clothes. After freshening up, he finally arrived at Saloras's room.

Saloras sat on the bed waiting, and when she saw her son enter, she quickly went up to greet him.

"I pay my respects to the Queen," Dios said respectfully.

Saloras looked at Dios and asked, "It's been said outside that you single-handedly killed all the giant monsters, and they even say you are the reincarnation of an angel. Are you really an angel?"

Upon hearing Saloras's question, Dios was slightly stunned, then nodded, "Yes, Mother, I am indeed the reincarnation of an angel."

"Reincarnation of an angel? This..." Saloras's face was filled with shock at Dios's response.

"I am the Steel Angel. Ordinary weapons cannot harm me. Mother, please rest assured. No matter who I am, I am still your son," Dios said calmly, his tone full of determination.

Hearing Dios's words, Saloras nodded slightly and smiled. "You scared me this time, my child. If you ever encounter such danger again, please don't try to be brave, you understand?"

"Mother, you can rest assured, I know how to protect myself," Dios smiled and said, "It's almost dawn, Mother, you should rest."

"Well, then you should rest early too," Saloras nodded and watched Dios leave.

As she watched Dios's figure fade away, a touch of bitterness appeared on Saloras's face.

If her son was truly an angel, then the legends were true. He would have to fight against demons, never giving up until the end. How could she bear to let her son take such risks?

...

The sun rose in the east, illuminating the entire palace with its golden light.

The flames burned the bodies and bones of the barbarians, reducing them to ashes under the scorching heat.

The wind blew, carrying the strong scent of burning, filling the air.

The ashes of the bodies drifted away with the wind, disappearing into the distance.
