I let the genie out of the bottle

“I am the King of the Heavenly Army, with 496,000 angels as my servants; I am the Great King, in charge of the seventh heaven in Arappa, which is the Most High Heaven!”

As Michael proclaimed his own glory, he quickly retreated from the area where he was fighting Lu Ye. Holy light shone from the sword in his hand, falling upon his army of angels as he attempted to regain control of all the angels.

However, Lu Ye would naturally not allow him to regain control of the angels.

"The Lord has appointed me as king and ruler, to govern all the people who dwell in the high places!"

Lu Ye also shouted, vying for control of the angels with the Book of Enoch and Michael.

The fight between the two subsided temporarily, but the surrounding area became even noisier.

The angelic army of tens of thousands was in complete chaos, sometimes charging menacingly at Lu Ye, and sometimes drawing their swords at Michael.

As time slowly passed, nearly half of the angels began to change in form!

In the beginning, all angels were simple humanoid figures with halos above their heads and two wings on their backs.

But gradually, some of them suddenly had more wings on their backs, some even reaching hundreds; some had their bodies suddenly turn square or round; and some even grew countless heads...

These strangely shaped angels and the human-shaped angels seemed determined to fight to the death, their battles clearly divided.

Early angels were mostly depicted in extremely strange and bizarre ways.

However, with the rise of Christianity and the arrival of the New Testament, those angels gradually became more like humans.

At this time, when Lu Ye took control of the New Testament angels under Michael's command, they all transformed into the forms of the early angels.

"Enoch! Enoch!" Upon seeing this, Michael almost coughed up blood.

He wanted to unleash a torrent of curses, but his vocabulary for insults was far too limited.

Moreover, he is unwilling to insult others.

"Enoch! The Lord rebukes you!"

According to the Bible, when the archangel Michael argued with the devil over the body of Moses, he did not dare to accuse him with slander, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.”

"Michael, now do you know who is exercising the Lord's will and who has turned away from the Lord's purpose!" Lu Ye shouted as he commanded the Old Testament angels under his control to charge towards Michael's army of New Testament angels.

As the two sides of angels fought, angels would occasionally vanish into holy light, while Old Testament angels would transform into New Testament angels, or New Testament angels would transform into Old Testament angels.

To Michael's dismay, the number of New Testament angels who transformed into Old Testament angels was significantly greater than the number of Old Testament angels who transformed into New Testament angels!

What made him even more depressed was that he had summoned all these angels!

"Michael! Is this all the power you have?" Lu Ye laughed, each sword strike more powerful than the last, making it difficult for Michael to defend himself.

Michael harbored resentment, but at the same time felt helpless.

"Forget it, I'm already tired of this boring legion game." Lu Ye said, turning the page of the Book of Enoch in his hand again.

“Michael, you have acted rashly with weapons, and these heretical angels you lead are also disobeying my commands,” Lu Ye said solemnly and righteously. “Disobeying my commands is disobeying the Lord’s commands!”

By omitting the process, the power of words is directly omitted.

A place of repentance!

Suddenly, a wide crack appeared on the seabed, and seawater rushed in with a clatter.

Countless chains, meant to bind sinners, surged forth from the abyss.

"Rebellious angels! Traitors who disobey the Lord's will! You sinners—surrender! This abyss awaiting judgment is your final resting place!"

Lu Ye's face was sacred as he shouted.

Chapter Ninety-Six: Thunderous Attack!

Chains binding sinners came in droves, like a swarm of winding snakes.

"The chains that bind the rebels! You're actually controlling them!" Michael's expression changed in shock. His fiery wings fluttered slightly, and he retreated rapidly.

As an angel known as "the godlike one," he could naturally recognize the chains and was quite clear about their function.

To bind those who do not believe in the Lord.

They bind believers, but they turn away from them.

Then, it transformed into disobedience and descended into the world, which in a sense can be considered as turning away from the Lord!

So, even if it is the "Lord," if one becomes disobedient, does that also count as "betraying the Lord"?

Lu Ye pondered to himself.

I have betrayed myself!

Thinking about it this way, as long as someone doesn't comply, they'll inevitably be bound by these chains!

In a game, this would be a super-wide-range special attack!

Michael and the New Testament angels he led, except for Michael himself who managed to escape the chains in time, were all bound by them.

Those angels who were still under Michael's control slowly sank to the bottom of the sea, pulled by their chains.

Despite their desperate struggles, it was all in vain.

In the end, one by one, these angels were bound by chains and imprisoned in the Land of Repentance.

"Michael! As their commander and the instigator of this conflict, you should fall into the abyss with them and await the judgment of the end times!"

As Lu Ye spoke, a dangerous smile appeared on his face.

"I never imagined that the Lord would entrust the power to control this place to you!"

Michael looked grim.

"The Lord named me according to his more than seventy names," Lu Ye said with a light laugh, his voice gentle.

Then, with a wave of his hand, the Old Testament angels he controlled glared at Michael with murderous intent.

Then, roaring, they charged toward Michael.

"I am the Vice-King of Heaven! The Great Lord of Light!" Michael's face was ashen, his voice filled with rage. "You shall all obey my commands!"

Originally, they were angels summoned by him, but Lu Ye took control of more than half of them.

The remaining small portion under his control was captured by Lu Ye in an instant and imprisoned in the trial's jail.

Although these angels were merely manifestations of magic and not true angels, they were still enough to enrage Michael.

and so--

Michael's face was icy as he watched the strangely shaped Old Testament angels turn and charge at him.

Even with his exceptional martial arts skills, dealing with thousands of angels was still quite overwhelming.

In addition, the heretic enemy was lurking nearby, watching them with predatory intent.

What he resented most was that these Old Testament angels who were besieging him were all transformed from the angelic army he had summoned.

So let's deal with these lost angels directly.

Michael thought to himself.

“God, you are the God of all nations, you created heaven and earth!” Michael cried out. “O Lord, incline your ear and hear; O Lord, open your eyes and see! It is I who uphold the glory of the Lord, who guards the holy land of Jerusalem! It is I who annihilated the 185,000-strong Assyrian army in one night!”

In the Bible, Michael helped the Israelites defend the holy city of Jerusalem.

The Israelites, whose capital was under attack, asked the Lord for help. The messenger sent by the Lord annihilated the 185,000-strong army that had come from Assyria in one night!

This messenger is none other than Michael, the strongest warrior under the Lord's command!

This legend is also related to Michael's power.

With his shout, the red cross sword in his hand instantly transformed into thousands of streaks, slashing towards the army of Old Testament angels that were surrounding him.

The angels who surrounded him were all cleaved into pieces in an instant.

Many of those red cross swords landed on the sea surface, creating countless towering waves, while others left deep trenches on the seabed.

Some sword shadows, still brimming with momentum, slashed towards Lu Ye under Michael's control.

However, Lu Ye did not engage in a direct confrontation with Michael's unknown power. Instead, he summoned his Flame Chariot and soared into the sky, leaving only a trail of surging flames in its wake.

Michael was so angry at his behavior that his teeth itched, but he was helpless and could only flap his wings and chase after him.

"Enoch! Fight me head-on!" Michael roared, chasing after him with his red cross sword in hand.

"I will use my might to take your head and show my loyalty to the Lord!"

"Shut up, foolish Michael!" Lu Ye sneered. "The Lord did not give you the right to come into this world! The moment you became disobedient, you had already turned away from the Lord's path!"

“Enoch, I may be guilty, but you are far more wicked!” Michael growled through gritted teeth. “You angel born from false scriptures, you dare to distort the word of God and tarnish the glory of the Lord!”

You're looking for Enoch, what does that have to do with me?

Lu Ye secretly chuckled to himself, but his words were utterly merciless.

"I am merely restoring mythology to its original state! Michael, you angel blinded by false mythology, you are the one who has given the Lord—"

Lu Ye, who was looking down at Michael from his high vantage point, suddenly stopped speaking.

To his astonishment, he discovered that the sky had darkened considerably, and a large mass of dark clouds had already gathered.

Because of the previous battle, the area was shrouded in mist and the water was turbulent, so he failed to notice this in time.

This is not a natural phenomenon, but rather someone's power—

Michael does not seem to have the ability to control the weather, and the faint power in the clouds does not belong to Michael.

However, he had only just realized this and had not yet had time to react—or rather, he only had time to mobilize his magical power to protect himself.

A deafening roar erupted as a massive pillar of lightning descended from the clouds, arriving in an instant.

"Boom!"

The whole world was illuminated by lightning.

"Power - Gale and Raging Waves, huh? You really are a patient senior, and your actions are quite meticulous and cautious." Lu Ye's voice was slightly hoarse. "It was my carelessness that allowed me to be ambushed successfully."

"He gathered thunderclouds in the distance and then used the wind to blow them over. In the process, he probably put most of his magical power into it. This old wolf really isn't worried that everything he does will be in vain."

At this moment, his body was covered in charred black marks from the lightning strike, and he even faintly emitted a strange aroma of roasted meat.

"Do you need my help? Caught off guard, it seems you've used up too much of your magic to defend against this attack." The loli demon's tone was calm, but carried a hint of coldness. "Even so, you've still suffered considerable injuries. Right now, you'd be struggling against either of your opponents, wouldn't you?"

"No need, I should be able to handle this situation." Lu Ye put one hand in his pocket, a slightly ferocious smile on his face, which was almost charred. "Of course, I will call for help immediately if I find that something is wrong."

"Don't be brave."

The treasure, visible only to Lu Ye, cautiously raised its finger, wanting to touch Lu Ye's cheek.

"Don't worry," Lu Ye said softly. "Although my magic power is almost depleted, my mental energy hasn't been depleted. My only regret is that you saw me in such a disheveled state."

However, she was ultimately just an illusion, her fingers piercing through Lu Ye's face.

"Moreover, during my battle with Michael just now, I wasn't just having fun—the clash between Enoch and Michael, two similar individuals, actually broadened my worldview."

As Lu Ye spoke, he raised his hand and lightly touched her palm.

"In other words, the second ability nurtured by the worldview has begun to take shape and it's time for it to make its appearance."

"Rest assured for now, my precious one."

He said softly.

What does Chapter Ninety-Seven have to do with me, Lu Ye?

"Haa—!" Michael's fiery wings fluttered gently as he gazed into the distance. "So that's how it is. Our battle actually gave the Son of Fool an opportunity?"

As he spoke, the red cross sword in the battle angel's hand shone with holy light, igniting crimson divine flames.

Then, he turned his angry gaze to the distance—where a figure stood proudly on the sea.

Upon seeing that figure, Michael's eyes instantly lit up with excitement.

Godslayers and disobedient gods will instinctively fight each other upon meeting, and they are often irreconcilable enemies.

Lu Ye could also sense a faint sense of threat emanating from him—only god-slayers and disobedient gods could do this.

Without a doubt, that was the world's oldest god-slayer, Marquis Voban.

Prior to this, Lu Ye and Marquis Voban already had a grudge against each other.

"So that's how it is! The son of a fool in this world dares to disturb our battle!"
