So I'm a sheep.

The second chime shook the scales between Sasha's eyebrows, and just as the angel was at a loss, Heimra rushed over.

"The death knell suddenly tolled twice. What happened?"

The angel stared at the girl in astonishment, while the girl wore a pained expression.

"Your Highness, I...I don't know."

Just then, another 'clang' rang out!

Volume 1: Chapter 486 The Light of the End

When the death knell tolled for the second time, Cleos swiftly stepped forward and used his divine power to suppress it.

However, the third chime was so powerful that even the power of the main god could not suppress it!

The Titan King was instantly thrown back, and under the surge of divine power, he was injured.

Ignoring his own injuries, and seeing the Death Bell about to break through the air, a ruthless glint appeared in Crios's eyes.

"I am the lord of the pantheon, and the pantheon shall be at my service!"

As the thought crossed my mind, an immeasurable power pressed down from the darkness.

Pressed down by this force, even forbidden artifacts like the Death Knell were instantly rendered immobile.

After waiting a moment, Cleos reached out and grasped the Death Bell. This time, he did not feel any resistance from the artifact.

"..."

A smile that seemed to be both sad and happy appeared on the face of the Titan King; he had just made a big gamble.

He used the fortune of the entire Titan pantheon to suppress the bell and forcibly became its half 'master'.

In the future, when the divine destiny truly merges completely with this death knell, its power will be amplified to an unprecedented degree.

With each resounding sound, Krios gains a permanent increase in power at the cost of sacrificing the future of the pantheon!

However, the price for doing so would be that after six more chimes, the Titan pantheon would fall apart.

'I have six chances to become stronger, six times...'

The Titan King clenched his fist tightly. The number of times the bell rang was not something he deliberately decided, but rather because the Titan pantheon's fortune had been reduced six times, reaching a point where it could not be reduced any further.

At that point, the Titan pantheon would be completely finished.

But why six times?

Including the three times just now, the death knell has now tolled twelve times.

Twelve, six, eighteen...

According to ancient prophecies, if the forbidden artifact rings eighteen times, the god-king will fall.

What a coincidence! What a coincidence!

Seriously, it's such a coincidence that I can't even manage a laugh!

........................................

'I only have five chances to become stronger, not six.'

Five times is more than enough!

Cleos, clutching the death knell in his right hand, roared terrifyingly toward the heavens.

Goddess, great goddess of fate, have you handed me a verdict?

"Hehe, ha, hahahahahahaha!"

“If you could truly control the infinite worlds, and even the fate of all gods, saints, and pantheons, I, Crios, would have groveled at your feet long ago! But you cannot. You are merely the embodiment of fate, not its master!”

"Today I stake the future of the Titan pantheon, and even my own life and death."

"If I lose, I will be utterly defeated; if I win..."

"Then I, Crios, will surely drag you down from your supreme throne!!!"

Pull it down hard, pull it down hard—

Heaven, Central Temple.

The goddess, who was teasing two clever crows, suddenly stopped what she was doing.

The Titan King's indignant shouts echoed in her ears for a long time, and the goddess's face showed some ripples, but she quickly fell silent.

"Crios' courage is unmatched by any other chief god."

"Courage! Courage!"

"Crios, courage!"

The two crows imitated the words of the great goddess in strange tones, but the goddess did not find it strange and just smiled faintly.

.........................................

With a sigh of relief, Heimra pulled Sasha out from behind her.

"That's fine, I've blocked all the prying eyes for you."

"Now those gods only know that an angel has become the 'chosen one' of the death knell, but they don't know which angel it is."

After glancing at the girl, the Holy Angel said in a deep voice, "However, many powerful beings will likely suspect you. Sally, you must be careful in the future."

Although Heimra lost much of her affection for the girl because of a certain incident, she was still the captain of the Celestial Legion.

In such situations, we should help those who need help and offer reminders where necessary.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

After briefly sensing the power within her body, Sasha quickly calmed down.

With the aid of the death knell, the power of the light of the end is now no less than that of miracles, life, or the light of the stars.

The girl even greedily thought—if the bell tolled four or five more times, could she instantly become a saint?

'Hahaha, I'm now a genuine Legion Commander-level angel! Even a Demon King couldn't kill me in one hit!'

With Hill protecting her, Sasha was completely unafraid of those so-called 'powerful beings'.

"Don't repeat the same mistakes."

Sensing the girl's boundless confidence in her eyes, Heimla offered a casual reminder.

Repeating the same mistakes... uh.

Thinking of her former boss, Rodriguez, the arrogant Sasha suddenly became timid.

Even a legion commander can die!

He might run headlong into a trap set by the demon kings, or find himself in the hands of several gods who are plotting against him.

No matter what kind of legion commander you are, you're all doomed.

'Sigh, I never imagined that becoming a legion commander would require me to fold my wings and become an angel. How frustrating!'

'...'

'Becoming a holy angel means I can do whatever I want, right?'

This sudden thought startled Sasha, and she quickly shook her head, saying, "Your Highness, the Titan King should withdraw his troops now."

"He had no choice but to retreat. The death knell suddenly tolled three times, and the Titans' morale was wavering. How could they fight a war now?"

Heimra smiled and said, "You've been at odds with Antenor for so long, it's just the right time..."

They thought they could take this opportunity to kill him, but the Titan Legion opposite Army VI left a group of warriors to cover their retreat, so they hurriedly withdrew.

They run so fast!

"Ha, it seems you'll have to save your chance to kill Antenoer for next time, Saliye."

Sensing the presence of the Titan King among the retreating legions, Heimra suppressed the urge to personally kill the Titan Prince.

............................................

Does the artifact recognize its master, or does the forbidden artifact of the Titan pantheon actively recognize the angel as its master?

The completely unexpected development unfolded before the Demon King's eyes.

"..."

"Hmph, those prophecies that ultimately led to the fall of the supreme god, you really are involved with them all!"

"It is clearly neither good nor evil, yet it pretends to be 'good'—how hypocritical!"

After habitually launching into a tirade against the goddess, Lilith's lips curled into a malicious smile.

Your choice to let Sariel end Clios proves that the little guy will surely become a holy angel in the future.

Hehe, a holy angel with the potential to become a demon king.

At this moment, Lilith changed her original plan.

He intended to corrupt Sariel, but...

'Only when such angels become holy angels will the future truly change.'

Volume 1: Chapter 487 Telepathy

Although they did not actually defeat Crios, the fundamental objective of the trip had been achieved.

After the Titans retreated, Heimra and his entourage returned to Heaven and were greeted by angels lining the streets.

'The tolling of the death knell did not merely intimidate Creus.'

'The supreme pantheon can enjoy a very, very long period of peace again...'

Heimra, unaware of the Titan King's decision, wore a relieved smile.

'Ha, ha, ha, it seems Carlisle's advice doesn't apply to me. An imperfect mind? So what? I still became a legion commander.'

The girl following the holy angel looked smug; she was now a truly high-ranking angel in heaven (in every respect), so how could she not be proud?

If it weren't for Heimla's warning that made Sasha behave herself, she would be strutting around like a madwoman by now.
