Chapter 173 172: Abyssal Beast Attack
Frans's complexion turned pale as he tried to retract his Arcane Arts... but he found his body completely immobile, and the elemental power within him was draining away like a raging flood, madly rushing into the Time Stop array.
Zephis Herman I, the handsome young face turned icy cold and sinister, admiring the current state of Frans, gradually, his figure began to grow taller, his golden hair turned to silver-white, and his golden pope's robe turned into a black Angel's robe.
A pair of enormous black wings abruptly unfurled from his back, his eyes were golden vertical pupils, with pitch-black sclera, a characteristic of high-ranking Abyssal Beasts.
"Luo Chuan!"
"It's me." Luo Chuan's voice was deep, with the sexiness of a railgun.
Cold sweat began to form on Frans's forehead. His face even more pallid, he was wearing a black uniform which masked any bleeding.
Sally wanted to go save Frans but was stopped by Xiaomei.
[Frans looks injured, but his talent is actually rising, and he's not in fatal danger.]
[What is going on?]
[He sealed his own talent, and now he is unsealing it.]
[Why seal his talent?]
[I don't know, the host can ask him later.]
[Are you sure he's not going to die, right?]
[There is currently no risk to his life. The swordsman does not seem to want to take his life either, they did not pierce his heart, only subdued him temporarily.]
[Are you sure? I don't want the kids to be fatherless after they are born.] As for Xiaoqi, that's also having half a dad. Although Rong Wu is bad-tempered, he treats their young well. The saddest are her and Zulu's three children, but fortunately, they are protected by both maternal and paternal families. A father's absence is ultimately a pity, and the ones she feels most sorry for are those three children.
[It doesn't matter if he's gone, I'll send them to Zi Qi to raise for free, he's sure to like them.]
[He has his own children.]
[Even with his own children, Zi Qi is very generous and tolerant in this regard.]
[That is true, or else how could he be the Beast Emperor.]
[You liking him is different too, otherwise, how can you naturally conceive offspring.]
[...Enough talk!]
Sally Teleported away, since Xiaomei said it was fine, then it should be. Moreover, she had now calmed down, and was not as shocked as she first saw.
The intuition of the sixth sense, although often denied by people, is actually very sharp.
But the investigation into the Offspring System can't be delayed anymore, with the magma rising to the sky, if it erupts, what else on the island could remain? No matter how strong a person's Innate Secret Technique is, it ultimately can't contend with natural disasters.
And Wu Liye, she must be killed quickly too!
Messing with Xiaomei, death is too good for her.
"Where's the Pope?" Frans asked Luo Chuan, as sweat dripped down his forehead.
"The day after you entered the Holy War, he was dealt with," replied Luo Chuan.
Frans closed his eyes for a moment, concentrating as if he could barely hold on any longer, "He was just a puppet, why bother. What exactly do you want to do?!"
"Of course, to topple the already rotten Holy Church. If you do not intervene, I might spare the Holy World Empire."
"The Holy Church has existed since the dawn of the Holy World, with countless Beast Clan followers, to annihilate the Holy Church is to annihilate the Beast Clans of thousands of continents. It's only a part that's rotten, just remove that part."
"You should be a Pope, not a Holy Monarch."
"Regardless if I am the Pope or the Holy Monarch, you Abyssal Beasts cannot emerge from the darkness!"
"The Abyss is not limited to just one exit."
Luo Chuan left with a sinister smile, flapping his wings.
Frans knew that going on like this was also fruitless.
The long sword on his back suddenly withdrew, spurting out a column of blood, at the same time cutting off the temporal control of the Time array.
Transforming into an Angel, he spread six wings and flew in the direction of the Holy Capital Continent.
The columns of magma shot up towards the sky one after another, the ground began to violently shake, and a flock of black, red-eyed evil birds flew out from the magma, scattering in all directions. Some landed on the ground and instantly transformed into gargantuan abyssal evil beasts, devouring the devotees of the Holy Church on Holy Island who hadn't managed to escape...
No one would pay attention to where a little white mouse was going.
Even if it scurried around the Holy Church Hall.
Sally found that her System Map wasn't working here; it couldn't probe underneath at all.
But that also proved that she was in the right place.
[Xiaomei, which way should we go?]
[Behind that statue, there seems to be a secret tunnel left by the host's own kind.]
Her own kind? Human Clan or Rat Clan... Sally was speechless, but she still went over.
Following the small secret tunnel, Sally came to a church that was even more spacious than the building above. She said to Xiaomei, [The ancestors really had foresight.]
[Host, the map is working again.]
Sally followed the map's directions, running through the underground passage.
After about five hundred meters, she stopped.
A white door carved with angel wings blocked the System Map's exploration.
[Could it be there?] Sally asked Xiaomei.
Xiaomei replied, [Let's go over and take a look.]
Suddenly, the door opened.
Many people wearing white lab coats came running out, some of them carrying boxes and the like.
Sally immediately swam against the stream of people, quickening her pace along the wall toward the door.
Of course, those people didn't notice the little white mouse slipping away along the wall. They were fleeing in panic, muttering about volcanoes, abyssal evil beasts, and escaping for their lives.
Someone dropped a work card, just as Sally was passing by, so she conveniently picked it up.
Finally, as everyone ran out and the door was about to close, Sally slipped inside Angel Gate.
...
Holy Palace.
Lena was deep asleep when suddenly someone picked her up. Startled, she transformed into a Red Fox and started to run.
But she was immediately scooped up again and imprisoned in someone's arms, "It's me, Lena."
Recognizing Ethan's voice, Lena stopped struggling, "This is the Holy Palace, how... how did you get in here in the middle of the night?"
"Something's happened, take me to find Sister Sally."
"What's happened?" Lena only then noticed he was in angel form, "You! What is this?"
"Abyssal beasts are attacking." Ethan held her and burst straight out through the roof, flying out.
The four wings spread out, soaring into the sky.
The entirety of Holy City, with the Holy Church at its center, was cracking open with several large fissures on the ground. From these, countless abyssal evil beasts emerged, attacking the Holy Church Knights.
For ordinary people, unless they directly approached to offer themselves up to death, the evil beasts didn't seem to attack proactively. But inevitably, the battle's fallout could affect them; half a street, or even a whole street, was destroyed into rubble with no chance for the people inside to escape.
"These abyssal evil beasts are clearly targeting the Holy Church."
"The Holy World Empire just got a batch of very powerful weapons; abyssal evil beasts don't dare to provoke them. But the Holy World has close ties with the Holy Church; as soon as Frans gives the order, the Empire would also quickly take action."
"Where's the Holy Monarch?"
"He's gone to Holy Island. Let's go find Sister Sally first, don't let her fall into the hands of evil beasts, that would be troublesome."
"Alright, she's been liking to rest in the Rose Garden Sleeping Hall these past few days, that location."
