Chapter Twelve

I made modifications to the magic array in the active energy chamber, making it suitable for the dragon bones my father brought back, without causing it to stop running due to the release of high-frequency energy.

"Aren't you supposed to save people?"

Perra was still in the corridor of the battleship, sitting alone in a corner, lost in thought.

"Zhao Yuansong has been rescued by the Frost Lord, but..."

"From the look on your face, something's not right... I guess Zhao Yuansong found his sweetheart and decided not to become a vampire?"

Perra glanced at me and said, "The Green-eyed conspiracy suspends the king, that's me... am I doing anything wrong by reviving our clan?"

I walked up to Perra and rather rudely pulled her up. Perra was inexplicably startled by me, of course, she tried to hide it, but the avoidance in her eyes was unavoidable.

"Look into my eyes, do you know that no one dared to say 'resist' in front of the Demon Dragon in the Demon Realm thirteen million years ago? The Frost Lord only dared to think..."

Perra frowned, "Force?"

"Force is a prerequisite, the key is... decisiveness."

"Decisive action!"

I said seriously and decisively, "No need to stay."

"Then in the war with Othrie, did you also end it decisively?"

I looked at her, thought for a moment, hadn't made up my mind yet, but faced with Perra's question, I answered, "If the war can solve the current crisis, I'd rather Othrie continue to be besieged."

Perra glanced back and forth between my two eyes and asked a question related to myself, "Are you... white or black? You used to care and even favor Othrie so much."

"Both, but I like the name Qing Yang. After all, we are already one. When you can see farther than before, what you think in your heart is no longer what it used to be." I turned around and drew a spatial magic array, leading to the imperial capital of Othrie. Perra seemed to have something to say, and when she heard that I had no intention of differentiating between who followed whom, she decided to reveal her thoughts to me.

"If you are Qing Yang and not the Demon Dragon, not from my clan's ancestors, I..." Suddenly, Perra lightly kissed my left cheek, "can I like you?"

I smiled slightly and lowered my head, "Why do you like me? Do you want the power of the contract?"

"No, but without you, I wouldn't have woken up. The first time I saw you, it was white, I loathed him, the second time it was black, I used him, but when it was you, Qing Yang, who saved me underwater, I prefer the taste of your blood."

I felt strange suddenly, "Underwater? Do you remember?" I did save her underwater, but she shouldn't remember as time should have reversed then.

Perra mentioned that in the world's crevice at that time, some memories in the crevice might have remained, and those memories should have belonged to the world on the other side of the crevice's timeline.

I extended my wrist, letting Perra drink my blood, "If vampires don't have enough blood, how can they fight."

"This queen won't be polite." Perra turned around and went from in front of me to behind me in an instant. Vampires, even if they no longer live by sucking blood, couldn’t change this habit...

"Ah! It's quite painful, let her have her fill, no need to be hateful, luckily the blood magic can keep up." I touched the wound on my neck and used water Magic to clean and heal it.

In the engine room, I set up a spatial Magic lock, preventing the use of spatial Magic within the main cannon carrier. This area is restricted, and even I cannot use it anymore because I found it too easy just now.

At that moment, Qin Ying contacted me via the contract, urging me to return quickly to the main control room.

Returning to the control room, due to my locking Magic array, the girls were not successfully deployed to the battlefield because Nofice's spatial transmission was forcefully shut down.

"Are you sure you want to go?" I asked the girls, seeking their thoughts.

The girls all answered in unison, determined to return to Othrie. From a human perspective, this was an inevitable result. Girls are emotional creatures, and their patriotism and love for their homes had reached an impassioned state that could not be extinguished.

"I will place the teleportation gate on the outside of the sky, and I will let you choose the location again, including the strategic train lines in the border cities, the defense lines on the coast, and more than thirty major cities in Othrie. There are few strategic locations that we need to protect. With the dragon spirit contract and my current state, helping you deal with the Sixteen-Winged Great Angel is not difficult."

After a few minutes of preparation, the girls were ready to depart.

"Elena, you cannot go."

"I..."

I interrupted Elena, grasped her shoulders, and made her sit down. "Our dragon clan will temporarily refrain from involvement, unless other dragon clans intervene."

Elena instantly understood my meaning. "The destruction caused by dragons to The Human Realm is increasing. If we intervene, some may feel that we have brought about so much disaster."

However, Elena only got one thing right. "This is one reason. The other reason is that you, Elena Brandt, are a deity and a Valkyrie. Othrie can resist the gods even without the intervention of dragons and demons. Even in a stalemate, humans will have a sense of confidence to resist the fallen gods, rather than seeking shelter behind something."

"But Nofice and the others are also..."

"Because they are humans, citizens of Othrie. My familiars are neither gods nor demons. No one knows that they borrow my power, so it is an illusion, but not impossible because of the existence of artificial particles. The gods have seen a future where humans will no longer be under their control."

"Captain! There is a magical reaction 863 kilometers away. The Magic control radar confirms that the opponent's Magic has targeted us!" the radar monitoring officer reported.

Qin Ying immediately ordered all crew members to be on guard, suspecting that the gods were about to attack them.

Above the imperial city of Othrie, midnight had passed, and the faint light before dawn uplifted the gods. The choir of Angels sang high, and once the choir was formed, with their music as a barrier, they would continue to provide reinforcement for the Angel legion on the battlefield, nearly invincible against humans.

The nude Great Angels with sixteen wings arrived in waves, surrounding the thirty main cities of Othrie with the angelic forces.

"Choir of Angels, play a lament for the enemy."

"Why have you not fallen from grace, you Angels?" Qin Fuyu held his bleeding arm, questioning why these dark and brutal Angels had not become Fallen Angels.

At this moment, the melodic voices of the choir of Angels were melancholic and soothing, evoking a sense of sorrow that made humans want to cry.

"Falling from grace, it's been centuries since we heard of it. In this day and age, falling from grace only serves to strengthen The Demon Realm's power, doesn't it? Well, it's time for you to report to the underworld."

The stark-naked grand Angel opened his arms wide, his muscular body emitting a hint of purple electric light, eight electric light spheres floating around him, emitting high-powered electromagnetic cannons. At this distance, Qin Fuyu had no way to dodge and could only forcefully receive the attack. The celestial demon fire autonomously protected him, but its weak power might only be able to keep Qin Fuyu from death.

"Thud!" Suddenly, petals fell rapidly from higher clouds, and each red elongated petal transformed into a malevolent ghost. These grotesque ghosts, formed from centuries of wandering evil souls, shielded Qin Fuyu from the electromagnetic cannons, crumbling to dust. At the same time, they saved Qin Fuyu and more petals descended from the sky, entangling the chorus Angel and the Angel legion with the ghosts.

"Mandala? Raffi Guer?" The stark-naked Angel felt extremely nervous; he recognized the red elongated petals, which were the source of a nightmare.

More petals continued to fall from above the clouds, while an object was moving at supersonic speed in the air. The grand Angel concentrated his magic in his eyes, attempting to spot the target. However, he actually saw the figure of the other party maneuver behind him and deliver a close-range punch to his face as he turned around!

"Hades Fire!" The grand Angel saw the fist engulfed in blue flames, and after being struck, his Angel spirit was stung, inducing a sudden daze in his mind, preventing the connection of magic. In an instant, the opponent swiftly traversed through the Angel legion at supersonic speed.

"Damn it!" The grand Angel was infuriated, retracting his sixteen wings around himself, unleashing electric energy all over his body, creating a network of electricity regardless of friend or foe.

"Lilith, be careful!" Qin Fuyu realized who was using the Hades Fire.

Lilith suddenly disappeared and reappeared inside the electric network. Unharmed, she passed through the grand Angel's electric web, paralyzing any Angel or demon touched by the web mid-air.

"Space Magic! Who are you!"

"It's me!"

The grand Angel saw the little-girl-like Lilith turning into a slender and graceful young woman before him. However, before him were blocked by five fingers, signaling pain; he had been clawed by Lilith.

"I detest light Magic, but I despise even more the stench of pseudo-virtue you, who should have fallen, insist on wearing." Lilith's contract had been activated from the beginning, and blue flames erupted suddenly on her hand, as she released her grip, pulling out the shattered, dim Angel spirit from the grand Angel foaming at the mouth and with a blank stare. This kind of Angel, in human terms, was known as a death whose spirit had been annihilated.

Pluto did not incinerate the Angel's body, and the body accompanied the falling petals through the sky freely, a sight terrifying to any Angel who witnessed it.

"Just now, my favorite person was kissed by another girl, and so, my mood is extremely low…" Lilith's eyes were all Hades flames, the surrounding ghosts disregarding the gradually rising sun as they moved about as if it were nighttime.

Even with the choir of Angels present, morale was difficult to lift.

"Angel without virtue!" Suddenly, an Angel pointed beyond the Othrie coastline, where they saw something they didn't want to see — Angels without virtue.

On the distant shore of Othrie, a large group of Angel legions, totaling up to fifty thousand, gathered for transit. Behind them, were being dragged by five large Angels, strange objects of huge and elongated bodies. Their heads resembled eagles or vultures, making it impossible to discern their true nature. With wings and claw-like arms, and serpentine lower bodies, at first glance they appeared to be ancient Monsters of legend. Their limbs and necks were being pulled by chains held by the five large Angels, who avoided the monster's gaze as if it were taboo. In the monster's eyes, their avoidance made it angry and disappointed.

"The Angel without virtue, born of evil deeds but not fallen like the sinful Angels, eventually becomes such a monster, the reasons for their fall erased by time." I saw the scene through the main control, as displayed in the images.
