Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 127 Beyond the Clouds
As the Archangel elected after the war, Aldry had been working diligently for the restoration of the Angels. The physical and mental fatigue left a deep mark on his face, but he ultimately failed to restore the Sky City to its original appearance.
"Archangel..."
A familiar voice sounded behind him. Archangel Aldry knew who it was without turning around. He said softly, "Gold, don't disturb the newborn angel. He is very sensitive at this time. Don't let him feel your worried mood."
Archangel Gold stood behind the Archangel. He looked at the newborn angels gathering in the pool, and whispered, "The Sword of the Oath is launching a coup. He has bewitched all the Holy Angels of the Holy Inquisition, as well as a group of young angels who don't know what's going on. His army is flying towards the Angel Hall, and the guards here may not be able to stop them.
Archangel, you must find a way to stop the Sword of Oath immediately."
"Stop it? How to stop it?"
Archangel Gold said: "Please issue an order in the name of the Archangel to summon all the angels in Sky City to come here to defend the Angel Hall."
The archangel continued to speak calmly: "Is it to protect the Angel Hall? Or to protect me?"
Archangel Gold asked, "Isn't this different?"
"It's different..." The Archangel stretched out his hand and pressed it on the head of the newborn angel, and then said to Gold: "The Angel Hall does not need protection. The purpose of the Sword of Oath is to occupy this place, not to destroy it. As for me... Don't let innocent angels give up their lives for me who is doomed to fail.
The birth of each angel is so difficult, they are all worth cherishing. "
Hearing the Archangel being so pessimistic about the outcome, Archangel Gold couldn't help but ask: "Since you didn't intend to use the power of Sky City to stop the Sword of Oath, why did you order the dismantling of the Holy Inquisition?"
The Archangel poured his energy into the newborn angel and replied to Archangel Gold, "Because in order to resolve the conflict caused by Sky City, one of me and the Sword of Oath must make concessions, otherwise the angel civilization will not know who to listen to and will not be able to cope with the chaotic situation.
The Sword of Oath obviously won't give in, so I'll have to give in."
Archangel Gold did not expect the Archangel to make such a decision. He was very annoyed: "Do you know what you are doing? The Sword of Oath will not actively avoid war, he will only actively initiate war.
Are the angels going to fight another ancient war?"
"In my opinion, the ancient wars did not end, but only experienced a truce period lasting a thousand years. It is precisely because the wars did not end that many of the problems left over from the wars have not been resolved.
The Sword of Oath was at its peak when it was born, and that was the most glorious period of his life. But when he was at his most vigorous, the artifact was mysteriously lost, and the war had to be stopped because of the exhaustion of all parties.
There are no winners or losers; no one is responsible for the war and no one is held accountable; there is no deep reflection and no cleansing of the remaining ideological poison.
As a result, the angels now don’t know what is right and what is wrong, and they are preparing to continue the war from the moment they are born…”
Archangel Gold agreed with the Archangel, saying, "That is why the young angels need your guidance, rather than pushing them to the Sword of Oath."
"I didn't push them to the Sword of Oath. This was their own choice. The Angel Hall is right here. They want to protect me, and they will come without waiting for my order. If they don't come, they have already made their position clear.
Since the war is not over, let them finish the next war.
If the angel civilization wants to forge its own path, it must truly recognize itself in the war."
At this time, there was a noise outside the Angel Hall, and the Holy Judgement Angels surrounded the sky garden from all sides.
The guardian angels drew their swords and confronted the angels of judgment, ordering them to retreat to their base immediately.
The angels of judgment pressed forward little by little, almost face to face with the guardian angels, sword to sword.
Archangel Gold saw the scene around him and said anxiously, "It seems that as the elders of the angels, we have failed in teaching the newborn angels. But no matter what decision you make, you are still the archangel in my heart.
Now follow me, we will go to the sanctuary of the Moonlight Court. The Sword of Oath only wants the Sky City and will not make things difficult for us. "
"I can't leave." The Archangel used both hands, and he was using his energy to speed up the shaping of the newborn angel: "I will not let the Sword of Oath easily seize the Sky City. Only sacrifice can leave room for reflection.
I will lead the guardian angels to fight the final battle for our era."
Archangel Gold said, "I'll accompany you!"
"No!" The Archangel pulled the newborn angel out of the pool. Due to the insufficient growth period, he only looked like a child after being shaped, and his mind was also at the level of a child. The Archangel took the hand of the young angel and placed it in the hand of Archangel Gold: "Take him away from here and give him to Malus."
Archangel Gold took the young angel's hand and asked the Archangel, "Is this the angel you trained specifically to deal with the Sword of Oath? Give him to me, and I will train him to be the new angel leader."
“No, no, no…” The excessive energy output made the Archangel a little tired. He was afraid that Gold would misunderstand, so he immediately explained: “He is just an ordinary newborn angel. I just accelerated his shaping and let him be born in the form of a young child.
Time is running out, don't ask anything, just listen to me!
Malus wrote me a letter, telling me about his journey from joining the Holy Inquisition to giving up the Crown of Thorns. Now Malus is no longer a Holy Inquisition angel. He is obsessed with the knowledge of human civilization, and many of his insights surprise me.
And Theresa... yes, the first holy book that the Sword of Oath relied on. After she came back, she met with me secretly and told me a lot about her experiences in human civilization.
I am very curious about what kind of magic human civilization has that could have caused so many changes in the two Holy Judgement Angels.
Malus said: Angels lack growth.
Theresa said: Angels are too arrogant.
So I had the idea of creating a young angel, without the innate knowledge and thoughts of an adult angel, blank and pure like light. I wonder what an angel who has gone through a complete childhood will eventually look like.
I can't see it, but you have to protect him."
Archangel Gold had never expected that the young angel he was holding was actually created by the Archangel. It was a crazy idea to let the angels go through their entire childhood. You have to know that angels are adults when they are born. They are the light of the Sky City. After being shaped, they naturally gain the knowledge .
"I, I..." Archangel Gold looked at the cute young angel and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Okay, I will take him to find Malus and will do my best to protect him."
The Archangel patted Archangel Gold's shoulder and said, "Let's go... Hide your angel wings and experience this growth as an ordinary human being. I believe you will also have many insights."
Archangel Gold saluted the archangel. Although the young angels didn't understand anything yet, they also followed suit and saluted the archangel.
The two old friends didn't say anything more.
Gold picked up the young angel and flew away. The Angel of Judgment did not make things difficult for him, but made way for him to leave.
When the Archangel saw that Gold was safely away from the Angel Hall, he also flew to the front line of the confrontation.
Aldry's power still exists. After his appearance, the Holy Judgement Angels became much more restrained.
"Let the Sword of Oath come to me!"
Few words but great power were expressed, and the chaotic air immediately became quiet.
Soon the Holy Judgement Angels made way for some airspace, and the Sword of Oath flew over with his Holy Judgement Angel commanders.
The Sword of Oath saluted Aldry and said, "Arch Angel, you should know the purpose of our siege of the Angel Hall. Abdication... is your only choice, which can reduce the sacrifice."
Archangel Oldry, wearing a white robe, summoned the Angel Sword and said sternly to the Sword of Oath: "The appointment and abdication of the Archangels are all decided by the Archangel Council. As an Archangel, I will never ignore the Archangel Council.
Without the resolution of the Archangel Council, I will not voluntarily abdicate.
If you want to take it, just come and grab it with your strength!"
The Sword of Oath chuckled and said, "The Archangel Council is a useless organization. It will only delay the coming of justice through repeated meetings.
The first thing I did as Archangel was to disband the Archangel Conference. Archangels should be the commanders of the angel army and should not be wasted at the conference table. "
The Sword of the Oath wanted to disband the Archangel Council without angering Archangel Aldry.
"You don't understand what justice is. First of all, justice cannot be defined..."
"Stop your preaching!" The Sword of Oath stopped the Archangel: "I am justice! The rightful ruler of Sky City, the new leader of Angel Civilization.
One last chance, Aldry.
Abdicate and avoid sacrifice."
Archangel Oldry chanted the ancient angel language, his wings turned into crystals, and holy white flames attached to the angel wings.
"Justice exists in the heart of every angel, and angels are willing to sacrifice for the justice in their hearts. I will lose and die, but I will never retreat.
Justice is power, but power is by no means entirely justice.
Fight for our justice, angels!"
The guardian angels, who were outnumbered and outmatched, raised their angel swords and shouted in unison: "Fight for justice!"
The Holy Judgement Angels also shouted with overwhelming force: "Fight for justice!"
The two groups of angels then collided with each other. Yesterday's comrades-in-arms were going to fight to the death today.
At this time, Archangel Gold had already flown to the edge of the Sky City, but the sudden outbreak of battle in the direction of the Angel Hall made him stop where he was.
The young angel didn't know what , and asked in a baby voice, "Where are we going?"
"Go to a place where you need to hide your angel wings."
Gold didn't dare to stay too long, so he turned around, flew over the clouds and dived down.
