A succubus devours its master? She then raises a twelve-winged angel!

Chapter 469 The New King of the Angels!
And the other side.

Vera also saved the four archangels who had reached their limits.

They then dealt with the most troublesome ninth-tier totem demons.

The remaining demons are no longer a threat.

With Gu Xing's help, the demons in the entire Angel Realm were wiped out.

Even the many void passages left behind by the demons were found and destroyed one by one.

Only after all this was accomplished did the entire angel realm finally settle down.

Seven days later.

The high-ranking angels and the civilians and soldiers of the Holy City, whose injuries had largely stabilized, all received a notification from the royal palace.

Queen Lani will hold a grand ceremony tomorrow at noon in the central square of the Holy City.

The news was met with great anticipation.

Everyone thought this would be a grand celebration.

People need such a ceremony to bid farewell to the shadow of war and to gather new hope.

The next day, the sun shone brightly, a rare occurrence.

The central square, which had undergone simple repairs but still bore the marks of war, was already bustling with people.

The surviving angel warriors and ordinary people all gathered here.

They awaited the start of this grand ceremony.

Gu Xing, Liu Li, Qing Shuang, Vera, and Liu Ye, whose injuries have improved and who is now able to move, all received Lan Ni's enthusiastic invitation.

They were respectfully led to the VIP seats at the very front of the viewing platform.

The ceremony began on time.

Lani, dressed in a simple yet dignified white gown and wearing a silver crown symbolizing royal power, gracefully walked onto the high platform.

Her gaze swept over the countless eager faces below, past the wounded soldiers, and finally landed on Gu Xing and the others, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

She first expressed, on behalf of the angels, the deepest condolences and highest respect to all the heroic souls who sacrificed their lives in the war.

She then affirmed the tenacity and dedication of all soldiers and civilians in the face of adversity.

Then, her voice suddenly rose, filled with sincere gratitude:

"...However, we all know that this victory was inseparable from several crucial heroes!"

Her gaze was fixed intently on Gu Xing:
"Hereby, I, Lani, on behalf of the billions of people of the Angel Realm, express my deepest gratitude to Lord Gu Xing!"

"If you hadn't intervened at the most critical moment, the Holy City would have already fallen, and the Angel Realm might have been completely destroyed!"

"The Angel race will never forget your kindness!"

The audience erupted in thunderous applause and shouts of gratitude.

Words of gratitude rose and fell.

Gu Xing nodded slightly in greeting.

Looking at the spirited Lani, Gu Xing felt like he had raised a child.

However, just when Gu Xing thought that Lan Ni was going to thank Liu Li, Qing Shuang, Vera and others in turn.

Lani on stage suddenly changed the subject.

She took a deep breath, her smile vanished, and she became extremely solemn.

She turned to Liuli and said loudly:

"And among all the heroes, the return of one not only brought victory, but also demonstrated the true destiny of our angel race!"

Her voice carried clearly to every corner of the square:
"Your Highness Liuli! Daughter of Lord Liuye, the most legitimate heir of my Angel Clan!"

"She saved the angels in their time of crisis!"

The cheers from the crowd grew even louder, and many people's eyes were filled with reverence for the glass.

Lanny gestured with her hands to signal everyone to be quiet.

Her gaze swept across the entire room again, finally settling on Liuli, and she spoke clearly, word by word:
"Since I ascended the throne, I have always felt a deep sense of fear and responsibility."

“I know that all the honor and power I possess are not rightfully mine.”

"This crown, this holy city, and even the future of the entire angel race—there has always only been one truly legitimate heir and leader."

She paused for a moment, and then, under everyone's gaze, slowly raised her hands.

He solemnly removed the silver crown from his head and held it in his palm.

"That is, Princess Liuli!"

"boom!"

The entire square erupted in an uproar!

Countless people were stunned, unable to believe their ears.

Even Ryūya and the other archangels on the viewing platform looked astonished, clearly unaware of the matter beforehand. Lenny's voice, however, grew increasingly firm and resonant:

"Today, here and in your presence, I hereby formally announce..."

"From this day forward, the sole, legitimate, and world-favored monarch of the Angel race will be..."

She turned to face Liuli, raised the crown high with both hands, and bowed deeply:

"—Your Majesty Liuli!"

"We respectfully request Your Majesty Liuli to ascend the throne and be crowned!"

The air seemed to freeze.

Everyone was stunned speechless by this sudden change of succession.

Gu Xing was stunned.

He brought Liuli back with the intention of seeing Liuye gain recognition in this world and solidify her divine position.

He never intended for Liuli to become the queen of the angels!

The previous trials were also to compete for the fortune of the angel race.

Liuli was completely stunned.

His eyes were filled with astonishment.

She had no interest in power; her world revolved entirely around Gu Xing.

To become the King of Angels?

This was not part of her plan at all.

Seeing the astonishment on Gu Xing and Liu Li's faces, Lan Ni understood.

She maintained her posture of holding the crown and bowing, and continued:

"Lord Gu Xing, Your Majesty Liu Li, please hear me out."

"I am not belittling myself, nor am I shirking responsibility! But there are some facts that I know better than anyone else."

"During the days I wear this crown, I can mobilize a portion of the power of heaven and earth."

"But I always felt that there was an invisible barrier between me and the earth beneath my feet and the sky above me."

"I can only draw upon a tiny fraction of the power of the angelic realm, and I will never... gain the recognition of this world."

"But Her Majesty Liuli is different!"

"Even though she is not the queen of the angels, she can still resonate with this world."

"This is destiny!"

These words stunned Gu Xing, who was pondering how to refuse.

World recognition?
To mobilize the power of heaven and earth?

The throne of the angel race actually has this function?

He finally understood why Liuli had always been unable to cross that final step from controlling the world.

It turns out that this link was missing.

Since that's the case
"This throne... is truly something I have no choice but to accept."

Gu Xing smiled bitterly to himself.

He could only give the stunned Liuli the order to accept.

When Liuli received Gu Xing's message, she could only reluctantly agree.

Lani was overjoyed when she saw this.

Then she straightened up, holding the crown, and solemnly walked step by step toward the glass table in front of the VIP seats.

Encouraged by Gu Xing's gaze, Liu Li slowly stood up and walked to the front of the stage.

In the square, someone shouted first, "Welcome, Your Majesty Liuli!"

Immediately afterwards, the shouts spread like wildfire!
"Welcome, Your Majesty Liuli!"

"Long live Your Majesty Liuli!"

"It is the will of Heaven! Your Majesty Liuli!"

A deafening roar swept across the entire square.

Amidst deafening cheers and countless fervent gazes.

Lani walked up to Liuli and bowed deeply once again.

Then, slowly and steadily, he placed the silver crown, which carried countless histories and responsibilities, on Liuli's head.

The moment the crown fell, it seemed as if an invisible ripple spread out from the center of the glass.

The clouds in the sky seemed to brighten even more, and the entire ruins of the holy city seemed to radiate a faint sense of life.
