Chapter 472: Not the Time

The angels retreated, and their goal was the largest floating island that Roy saw, Aesir City!

This city named after Archangel Aesir was Heaven’s last line of defense. As the demon army chased after them, the high-level angels entered Aesir City and activated the protective barrier.

A golden light screen spread out from Aesir City and instantly covered an area of tens of thousands of kilometers, enclosing the entire floating island.

The golden light screen allowed angels with holy light power to enter without any hindrance. Seeing the angels disappear into the light screen one after another, the demons naturally chased after them. But when the demons touched the light screen, they screamed, and their bodies turned into flying ashes. Even their souls were directly annihilated.

This scene made the demons calm down a little, and they no longer dared to charge at the barrier. After the demon lords arrived, the demons began to organize and launch long-range attacks at the barrier in an attempt to break it from the outside.

Hundreds of thousands or even millions of magic lights suddenly burst at this moment. Wave after wave came without stopping, but this torrential rain-like magic attack did not cause even the slightest ripple on the barrier.

They did not know what the principle of this barrier was, but its strength was unimaginable. The demons bombarded it for more than an hour, but they did not see any signs of the barrier collapsing.

However, although this barrier blocked the demon army, it also trapped the angels inside. The demons could not break the barrier, and the angels could not attack from the inside. Apart from taking the time to rest and recover their physical strength and magic power, the angels could only stare at the demons outside through the barrier.

Facing this barrier, Roy did not have any good ideas. He could not even be bothered to try attacking it. Millions of demons could not cause any effect on the barrier at all. Of course, he did not think that he could do it alone, so he sent out his trump card: Dark Knight Sparda!

All along, apart from swordsmanship, what Sparda was most praised for by demons was his attainments in sealing techniques. And such a barrier could actually be regarded as a kind of sealing technique. The barrier’s enormous coverage area was not something that a single individual could achieve, so Sparda guessed that there had to be some kind of large barrier device in Aesir City. Such a device definitely needed an energy supply. If they could break the barrier’s energy supply, then it might be possible to break the barrier.

The demons used their absolute numbers to surround Aesir City. Sparda led a few demon lords and began to try to break the barrier. The angels inside realized that if this continued, the barrier would break sooner or later, so they had been thinking of ways to save themselves.

The most powerful angels in Heaven were only seraphim. Although seraphim were formidable, they could at most fight to a draw with the demon lords of the Demon World. Their strength was not enough to change the entire war, so the angels placed their hopes on Archangel Jubileus.

At the center of Aesir City was the Tree of Life, the Kabbalah. This Kabbalah that had grown for nearly ten thousand years had a trunk that was nearly thirty kilometers thick, and its height was astonishing, comparable to the so-called World Tree of the elves.

At this moment, seven high-level seraphim with golden angel wings were floating north of the trunk of the Kabbalah. These seven seraphim jointly released their magic power and opened a spatial channel on the trunk. From this gigantic vortex gate, a statue about twelve meters tall slowly emerged.

This majestic statue portrayed the appearance of a female angel. She was wearing exquisite and gorgeous armor, and her shoulder armor, breastplate, and battle skirt were made of long phoenix feathers. The top of the statue had a tall bun, and the braids of her hair hung down like waves, encircling the statue’s body. At the top of the statue was a sculpture in the shape of a sun. The blooming light symbolized the identity of this statue.

This female angel statue was Archangel Jubileus!

After she fell into a long sleep due to her accident, she turned into this statue and hid in the trunk space of the Kabbalah. The angels of Heaven initially thought that she would recover her soul and wake up soon. But unexpectedly, nearly ten thousand years passed by in the blink of an eye.

“The strength of Jubileus’s soul is becoming weaker and weaker…” After the seven ancient seraphim took out the statue, they sensed the soul inside and said worriedly, “Eternal sleep did not allow her to repair the damage to her soul. Instead, as time passed, she has become weaker and weaker…”

“It seems like our plan to get Balder to retrieve the Left Eye of Darkness was right…”

“That’s right. As long as we reconstruct the Eyes of the World and inject a new divine spark, Jubileus will be able to recover completely and return to her peak state!”

“In this situation, only Her Holiness Jubileus can lead us to counterattack the demons.”

“Now, we just have to wait for Balder to return. I’ve already prepared a passage. When he enters Heaven from the human world, he will directly arrive at Aesir City.”

The strange-looking seraphim conversed with one another as they placed the statue of Jubileus under the Kabbalah.

Time passed little by little. The demons outside were still persevering in attacking the barrier, but Balder, whom the seraphim were waiting for, had still not appeared, making them anxious.

“Could there have been an accident?”

“It’s hard to say. Although Balder is the strongest among the Lumen Sages, his enemy, the Umbra Witch, can’t be underestimated. It shouldn’t be easy to seize the Left Eye of Darkness…”

“What should we do now?”

“Keep waiting. These damn demons came so quickly that we didn’t have time to finish the deployment. Now that the connection between Heaven and the human world has been severed temporarily, there’s nothing we can do except wait.”

“The only good news is that the demons haven’t found a way to solve the Radiance Barrier…”

While the seraphim were anxiously talking, they saw a long dragon appear in the sky outside the barrier. This long dragon was circling around the floating island where Aesir City was, and there was a tall six-winged demon standing at the dragon’s head.

“It’s Osiris…” The seraphim gritted their teeth. “Damn it. I didn’t expect that not long after his name appeared in the Book of Truth, he came to this world, and we encountered him…”

However, the seraphim could only curse at this moment and could not rush out to fight Roy to the death. They could only watch him riding the dragon arrogantly and circle above them.

Fortunately, there was the dense canopy of the Kabbalah covering them. Looking down from the sky, his vision would be blocked, so the seraphim guessed that Demon Lord Osiris might not be able to see much.

Unfortunately, they were wrong. While Roy was riding Rafaro in the sky, he had already discovered something unusual at the foot of the Kabbalah through his Radiation Perception.

In his Radiation Perception, the statue of Jubileus was an immense source of light. Even the light of the Kabbalah beside her could not cover up the energy radiation emitted by the statue.

After sensing the existence of this thing, Roy immediately became vigilant. He knew that he might have found the location of Jubileus…

I have to get Sparda and the others to speed up… Roy thought. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly discovered a few familiar magic power auras inside the barrier below.

A golden gate of light appeared inside the barrier, raising the spirits of the seraphim. As expected, the next second, Balder emerged from the gate in a sorry state. The golden half-mask on his face had disappeared, his originally meticulous hair was now in a mess, and his clothes were torn in many places. It was obvious that he had just experienced a great battle.

But… he was carrying someone in his arms. This person was wearing a tight black leather suit—it was the unconscious Bayonetta, and the Left Eye of Darkness was shining slightly on her chest…

The seraphim looked at Balder in surprise, knowing that he had succeeded. But before the seraphim could welcome him, they saw a few figures emerge from the gate of light!

They were… Dante, Vergil, and Nero! They were equally injured, but they still chased after Balder…

When Dante and the others appeared, not only was Roy not pleasantly surprised, but he felt his heart skip a beat. Oh no!
