Blood Warlock: Succubus Partner In The Apocalypse Chapter 1098 Lnnocent Giggling & Time Skip (Part1)
"Father, with you here we, your vassals, can finally have a mont of peace from those vile creatures who embraced the darkness ignoring the light." Israfel looked incredibly relieved as he uttered these words.
In fact, they were all looking at God with awe, fanaticism, and above all; eyes shining with infinite hope.
This was their God! The God they had always revered and fought for, prayed to, and worshipped!
des sighed in his heart as he saw the faces of the people before him. It was at tis like these that he always experienced a little headache as it was difficult to explain so matters.
Fortunately for des, he was not alone.
The archangel Gabriel stepped forward, and in a soft and gentle voice, remarked, "I'm afraid His Grace would not be able to kill those demons."
"... What?" Matthew Sanchez looked at the angel with three pairs of wings and said as if he could not believe what he had just heard, "The Lord... can't kill those demons...?"
They were all in disbelief and looked at their God expecting him to dismiss the words the angel next to him had just said. Unfortunately for them, des could not reject the truth he was bound to; this was his reality, whether he liked it or not.
"It's not that he doesn't have the power or ability to do so." Gabriel smiled kindly and explained with seemingly infinite patience, "The universe is vast and its secrets are imasurable. Just as there are laws for the activation of magical skills there are also laws for us, beings who have transcended the mortal realm."
Laws? Naomi looked at the six-winged angel before moving her eyes in shock to the God she had worshipped for as long as she could rember, the one she was raised to love and respect.
Wasn't God the creator of everything? If he had created this universe and the life in it, then why would his own laws restrict him?
Gabriel continued: "There are other Gods in the universe, as you probably already suspected in your hearts. To prevent the God of any faction from attacking the worshippers of another God directly, they all ford a treaty in which they are not allowed to intervene physically or directly in the affairs of mortals. This is so to prevent the balance of the universe from being broken, but most of all to protect all of you from hidden dangers."
Gabriel's words were very reasonable, and it had to be said that he had found a good point to lie.
He knew that if he revealed that the God they had worshipped all their lives had once been a low-level mortal like them that practically blind faith and fanaticism they felt would waver, and neither Gabriel nor des wanted to see such an occurrence.
While it was true that they would probably no longer have the sa kind of faith as before and so things might change in their hearts, Gabriel knew that the Army of Heaven could by no ans afford to be left out of Earth. This treasure-filled world needed to be theirs, and for that, they needed to work and slowly build their influence so that when the ti ca for Earth to complete its evolution to a Higher World they could take it over much more easily.
At the very least, Gabriel was clear that they could not let Earth fall into the hands of another faction. Besides, there was also that extrely abnormal human brat who needed to be taken care of sohow or other; Gabriel had never seen anyone so terrifying in his entire life when it ca to Lower Existences, not even Sirius could compare to that human when he was on his level.
Indeed, the expressions of so changed and they looked at the two with complicated eyes.
Naomi and a small handful more secretly clenched their fists and lowered their heads in silence. All the joy they had felt from eting God was practically gone now that they learned "the truth."
It seed that they needed to continue fighting the demons after all.
"But..." Israfel looked at his legion and a glint of concern shone in his silver, almost white eyes.
With the current strength of the Legion of Holy Knights it was questionable whether they would survive an upcoming confrontation against the demon race. Although Israfel had successfully killed the First General of Hell, his wounds were not light and he was completely worn out; his subordinates were in a state very similar to his so, asking them to fight under such circumstances was no different than asking them to die for nothing!
There was no way Israfel could do such a thing...
But as if seeing and sensing what his concerns were, des smiled slightly and said calmly, "The human race has developed very well in the path of magic, I am amazed and proud of you... However, I know that you have also developed very well technologically and have conducted research to create weapons of mass destruction so powerful that even the strongest soul evolvers need to fear."
A few people's pupils twitched as they understood what their God ant.
"B-But!" Mateo Sanchez took a step forward. His abrupt movent caused his wounds to worsen, but he didn't care and as he grunted in pain he said quickly, "Launching a nuclear missile this close to our shore will alert the sea race and enrage them!"
The Holy Church faction had naturally had their less-than-friendly encounters with the sea race in the past. Although in their eyes the sea race was not particularly strong, especially if they ca out of their natural environnt, their numbers were frighteningly high; even more massive than the zombies!
Israfel looked at God and then looked at his troops.
In the end, although the First Grand Knight's words were true and not aningless at all, the Supre Pontiff knew what he had to do in his heart.
Approximately two minutes later, not only the Legion of Holy Knights but even the bases a few thousand miles away watched the distant horizon; so in fear, so in curiosity, a few in awe, and another handful in shock.
Gabriel's face glead under the glare of the nuclear explosion that lit up the sky. The earth trembled and huge waves were created in the sea that approached the shore as if they were monsters sent to destroy everything.
"This level of destructive power is really sothing else." The great archangel of Seventh Order muttered in a voice that only he and des could hear, "Lord, if we can get the thod to create this kind of weapon..."
des nodded silently as he looked off into the distance thoughtfully.
Being able to use magic and mana as well as technology of a much higher level than Earth, there was one small point that all the Higher Existences neglected; study and scientific advancent based on knowledge of universal matter.
It was hard to believe that a nuclear split or the breaking of a few atoms could cause this level of destruction and damage...
"Looks like the leaders of the enemies ca out of their cave." Gabriel smiled slightly.
Israfel had a trendously serious expression as he looked cautiously into the distance.
They could all see the great blackish-purple do glowing in the sky, covering what appeared to be the entirety of the island closest to the coast of Pisa, Italy.
"No." des shook his head and sighed, "Looks like we can just leave it like this for now."
In the center of the island, an altar made up of five stones carved into geotric shapes was placed around what appeared to be a round mirror the size of a normal table.
The five geotrically shaped stones released blue beams of lightning directly into the round mirror. The round mirror absorbed those blue beams and discharged them into the sky, but the color of the beam as thick as a tree trunk was not blue but deep purple slightly bordering on black.
Upon reaching a certain height, the thick deep purple beam seed to encounter a kind of invisible wall as it imdiately opened up and extended along that invisible wall in all directions.
Inside the large magic do, a group of 5 Fourth Order demons along with over a hundred Third Order demons stared coldly at the nuclear explosion.
"They want to break through our defenses? Dream on." One of the Fourth Order demons who was over 3 ters tall and whose skin was completely black spat coldly.
"However. The power of that thing is truly amazing." Comnted another Fourth Order demon that was less than 1.5 ters tall but was as thick as a palm tree.
Seeing the small but still clear ripples on the magic barrier they all nodded in their hearts. None of them were confident they could take that attack head-on and survive; at the very least, they knew they would lose half their lives there.
A Fourth Order demon who stood just under 2 ters tall with furry dragon wings on his back contemplated for a long ti before ordering in a deep voice: "Until His Majesty fully recovers no one is allowed to attack those fucking humans. We can't afford to waste Vengeance Bastion's energy like this no matter what."
The other demons nodded in agreent.
Although they were dissatisfied they knew that reality had to be accepted, and if they did not adapt to the reality in which they lived they would be erased.
They had just woken up after sleeping for no one knew how long. They needed ti to reorganize and recover completely. They would have ti to deal with humans and other races later.

Bai Zemin naturally had no idea what was going on in Europe.
After 20 minutes had passed without a second nuclear blast, Wu Yijun judged that the enemies of the European faction had probably been successfully decimated. At the very least, one of the two sides should have been wiped out or suffered colossal damage from which they could not recover for years to co.
Even then, Bai Zemin ordered a group of people to remain vigilant day and night for the few days to co.
A nuclear weapon was no small thing. A single one of these bombs exploding on their territory could wipe out millions of lives and cause imasurable losses.
For example, if the nuclear missile fell on a minor base, what Bai Zemin would lose would be human lives and a lot of resources. Painful? Definitely painful. However, it was a pain that he and the others could tolerate to a certain extent.
Now... if the nuclear missile fell on one of the bases where experints and developnts of utmost importance were being carried out or where there were many top level soul evolvers it would be catastrophic for the entire faction.
Therefore, he needed more nuclear shields as soon as possible.
After finishing the eting since he had already announced what he had to announce, Bai Zemin stopped Shangguan Bing Xue who seed to be intending to have a chat about sothing with Wu Yijun.
"I'm sorry but I need to talk to Yijun." He said with an apologetic look on his face.
Shangguan Bing Xue looked at him and blinked curiously but finally nodded. She did not ask to stay but after telling Wu Yijun to visit her house in the night if she had ti Shangguan Bing Xue left, but not before nodding towards Bai Zemin with a small smile.
Wu Yijun looked at her best friend's back and her feminine sixth sense helped her to realize that the current Shangguan Bing Xue was different from the Shangguan Bing Xue who had left for Arica two weeks ago. Besides, from the way she was looking at Bai Zemin just before she left...
Wu Yijun sighed in her heart as she muttered sothing to herself.
She was a smart woman, so her innocent baby face didn't an she didn't understand so things or couldn't see through people in certain ways. This was particularly true considering that the eyes with which Shangguan Bing Xue looked at Bai Zemin just before retreating ford a look that was not very different from the look she often looked at him with.
Wu Yijun's feelings were very complicated at the mont as her heart was slightly in disorder.
Bai Zemin had to call out to her several tis and gently shake her shoulder to bring her back to reality and pay attention to him.
