Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 777 - 778: The Church’s Plan

"If we can stall her, there’s hope."

Almost as soon as Emperor Enzo’s words fell, the bloody-red butterflies dancing around the black-haired girl suddenly became frenzied and scattered in all directions.

An in no time the bloody butterflies launched an unexpected attack. The bloody butterflies dancing in the sky suddenly turned into one beam after another of crimson energy, attacking Emperor Enzo and Hakim from all directions with no blind spots.

Faced with such a grand attack, Emperor Enzo still maintained his composure as a top-tier fighter. He moved quickly through the sky, dodging one crimson death ray after another, and calmly waved his hands, commanding the divine artifact to build a defensive shield to block those hard-to-avoid attacks. Where the crimson light flashed, countless griffin knights flying in the sky were helplessly affected by the shadow force and were ultimately blown up, creating a sky full of bloody blossoms.

Emperor Enzo could only look with guilt at those soldiers who were affected. After all, he was now doing his best to protect himself and had no spare power to save other imperial soldiers.

On the other side, Hakim who was flying with Emperor Enzo, quickly regained his composure and used his ice and frost magic to assist Enzo in defense. With the roar of the crimson shadow power, the sky suddenly burst into flames, one after another, symbolizing destruction and death.

Seeing Emperor Enzo and Hakim being attacked by the bloody butterflies, the allied forces that had just arrived did not dare to sit idly by. Even without Hakim’s magic assistance, countless heavy cannons still aimed at the black figure in the sky, and like cannons spewing out anger, they wildly fired one powerful energy charge after another!

Adding to the intense sky, there was a touch of smoke and fire. For a while, the entire sky of Anvika was shrouded in a boundless sea of fire, presenting a scene full of vitality.

Boom!!!

Another beam of light hit the protective shield. Under the joint efforts of Emperor Enzo and Hakim, the shield remained intact.

As Enzo was moving at high speed with Hakim, in order to hit the target, Blood Butterfly seemed to have dispersed its power, causing its attack power to decrease significantly. Even if the shield was cracked, it could be quickly repaired with the support of the two.

With difficulty, the battle seemed to have fallen into a stalemate. However, Hakim was well aware that this situation would not last long.

In order to maintain the released state of the Divine Shield, Emperor Enzo’s energy was being consumed at a rapid speed. Even if Enzo had a powerful energy that ordinary people could not compare with, he could not stop this crazy consumption!

After a while, the protection shield might collapse. At that time, they would be...

Moreover, even if they could still hold on, what was the point of holding on like this? Passively being beaten could not win.

At this moment, Hakim could not help but think of Enzo’s words just now. "Stall her, and we can win."

In confusion, Hakim conveyed her doubts to Emperor Enzo’s mind through magical transmission. "Senior, is it really meaningful for us to drag on like this?!"

Emperor Enzo did not answer immediately, but nodded slowly after a moment of silence. "Wait for the Church"

"Wait for them?"

"Wait for them to use the Aggregate Star with the statue."

"Aggregate Star?"

As Emperor Enzo’s answer was transmitted to his mind, Hakim’s expression became more and more strange. The Aggregate Star was the Church’s trump card for this holy war. By aggregating the power of all believers in the Girl of Destiny, she could temporarily gain supernatural power.

The power of all believers might be enough to enable Mengxi to fight against Blood Butterfly. However, the key figure in this plan, the Girl of Destiny, had been...

"But the Girl of Destiny has been cursed by Bloody Butterfly and cannot fight. That damned Bloody Butterfly seems to have seen through our plan already... Now the Church’s move is..."

"It must be done."

"It must be done?"

"Yes, Kael is also a representative of the goddess in the human world, and he may be able to withstand that power."

"Do you mean that the church is preparing to transfer power to Kael? And what we need to do now is to buy as much time as possible?"

"Yes."

"Is it possible?"

"Let’s give it a try."

Emperor Enzo answered with a slightly bitter tone. In fact, he still had doubts in his heart about whether the Church’s plan would work. At present, most of the troops were fighting Bloody Butterfly to the death in the city, and the Sky City’s Divine Cannon was not reliable. The plan to surround the Holy Tower had failed, and the only viable option seemed to be the church’s proposal.

Although Emperor Enzo did not have a good impression of the church at present, his thousand years of experience told him that the church’s position in resisting the abyssal demons could still be trusted. Since they were now tied to the same boat, he might as well believe in them.

"Besides trying, do we have any other choices?"

"I see..."

Hakim nodded helplessly.

"So what should we do next?"

"Keep a distance from her, don’t engage in head-on collisions, use the cover of the troops below, and try to control the battlefield in the sky."

However, at the moment when the two men were communicating silently through magical vibrations, a familiar yet surprising female voice directly entered both of their minds at the same time.

-"Oh? The Aggregate Star? I didn’t expect that this trump card could also be used by the Pope?"-

"?!?!"

"Huh? What?"

’This voice, Bloody Butterfly?! She?! She, she, how?! How can she know the content of our conversation?!’

In an instant, Hakim’s expression changed drastically, and he looked incredulously at the black figure enveloped in the gunfire in the distance. Not only Hakim, but even the usually calm Emperor Enzo couldn’t help but furrow his brow. Although it was unknown how Bloody Butterfly invaded their encrypted communication, there was no doubt that she had learned of their plan.

Once the plan was leaked, Emperor Enzo certainly knew the consequences. According to the church, Kael was now trying to connect with the goddess, which was the critical moment for casting the "Aggregate Star"! It must not be disturbed!

"This is bad..."

Unconsciously, Emperor Enzo’s face also showed a bitter expression.

On the other side, as Emperor Enzo had predicted, after obtaining the conversation content of the two men, Yumo couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows with interest and looked towards the distant Church.

According to the boss rules she had once made, when the opponent had a trump card, she should give him time to use it without hesitation!

However, now that Yumo, who had abandoned acting according to the goddess’s game, had also thrown the so-called boss rules directly out of her mind.

’Only bosses would wait for others to make a big move, right?! Someone as smart and agile as me would just interrupt it directly!’

Although a single believer of the church posed no threat to her, what if thousands or even millions of believers gathered their power in one person? She might not be able to defeat them!

Considering her clumsiness and lack of combat experience, even if Kael gained power close to 70% to hers, he might be able to pin her down and rub her on the ground...

So...

With a casual wave of her hand, a powerful spatial tremor with Yumo as the center rapidly expanded in all directions, shattering the energy attacks of the allied forces that covered the sky in an instant. After temporarily getting rid of these annoying firepower interferences, Yumo did not hesitate to raise her hand and point towards the Church, where the statue of the goddess was located.

The surging shadow power was constantly and rapidly gathering at the girl’s fingertips.

---

"Damn it!!!!"

Seeing the black-haired girl finish charging and about to attack the Church, Emperor Enzo’s eyes unconsciously flashed with a hint of panic. At this moment, he had no choice but to abandon the plan to pull away.

Under the push of his energy and Hakim’s magical assistance, Emperor Enzo, protected by the four Divine Shield rushed straight towards the black-haired girl like a red and yellow meteor.

’I must stop the Blood Butterfly’s attack!’

However, just as Enzo was about to launch a strong attack to interrupt Bloody Butterfly’s attack, the black figure in front of him disappeared in an instant under a strange red light.

"?!?!"

"Where’s is she? Where did she go?!"

Seeing the target of the attack disappear, Emperor Enzo’s eyes were full of confusion. He quickly released his perception energy to search for Bloody Butterfly’s whereabouts.

However, it seemed that Emperor Enzo no longer needed to search.

Because Bloody Butterfly’s voice came faintly from behind him, with a soul pressure that was like the collapse of the sky and could not be resisted.

"You finally moved towards me, the millennium guardian."

As the voice fell, Yumo, who appeared behind Enzo in a flash, smiled wickedly and aimed the fingertip which had been charged with crimson particles, at Emperor Enzo’s cerebellum.
