What does it mean that the group members have given me back the light?

Himegami Karen's voice gradually lowered:

"It's probably because my aunt is too busy with work. She's a single mother and simply doesn't have time to take care of the elderly and children. So the old lady believed those sweet words because she was too lonely..."

"..."

Gu Nuo listened quietly to Ji Gong Hua Lian's complaints, and was about to say something when suddenly he felt an unusual burning sensation in his chest.

...?

He instinctively pressed his hand to his chest; he could feel the Trust Evolver burning inside his pocket, its light flickering through the fabric.

"Nono? What's wrong?" Banami was the first to notice his unusual behavior.

Before Gu Nuo could answer, he suddenly looked up, and the sky suddenly changed.

The once clear evening sky suddenly darkened, and the clouds began to swirl as if stirred by an invisible hand, forming a huge vortex.

At the center of the vortex, a dazzling hole of light slowly opened, pouring out a holy yet blinding light, like a scene of angels descending in mythology.

"What, what is that?!" Himegami Karen was stunned and instinctively grabbed the arm of Hanami beside her.

Pedestrians on the street stopped to watch. Some took out their phones to take pictures, some hurriedly hid in nearby shops, and many more stared blankly at the sky, speechless with shock at this surreal scene.

Chapter Sixty-Six: The Angel of Destruction – Zog Makes His Appearance (4k)

"Angel……?"

Hanami Anzu heard the incredulous whispers coming from the crowd on the street not far away.

She subconsciously looked up and saw a pure white figure slowly emerging from the cave of light.

She was an angel without wings, draped in a spotless white robe, her face serene and holy, radiating a warm glow, like hope descending to earth.

"Wasn't it said that the angels were killed by the demons?"

"They must have heard our prayers..."

"The angels have returned! Please save humanity!"

"..."

The crowd murmured excitedly, their voices filled with anticipation.

Angels? Weren't those imposters who pretended to be angels already dealt with by Nono?

Seeing that Anja was stunned for a moment, Bana instinctively looked at Gu Nuo beside her.

Looking at the sky, Gu Nuo frowned slightly, and his gaze unconsciously became somewhat serious.

He could sense that, in terms of both appearance and strength, this angel was completely different from the angel that the Kirieloid had impersonated before; they were not beings from the same dimension.

"Ah!" Himegami Karen suddenly exclaimed.

"W-what's wrong?" Banai asked quickly, startled.

Himegami Karen did not answer, but stared intently at the angel in the sky. The angel's gaze slowly moved and finally settled on a direction that was very familiar to her.

"You guys go ahead... I have something to do, so I won't be going with you."

Himegami Karen bit her lower lip, glanced at the two people beside her, quickly greeted them, and then ran off without hesitation.

"Karen-chan!"

Seeing that Anja had suddenly become anxious, Banai looked anxiously at Gu Nuo and gestured with her eyes that she wanted to go after them together.

But Gu Nuo shook his head at this moment and silently looked at the sky.

"...Then, Nono, you must do your best!" Seeing that Anja understood, Bana hurriedly finished speaking and then chased after Karen's direction.

Gu Nuo remained alone, gazing up at the holy figure in the sky. He couldn't intuitively determine the other party's true identity, but fortunately, there was someone who could provide the accurate answer.

A familiar voice rang out in my mind at just the right moment:

"Your concerns are valid; she is the enemy," Kirino Makio's voice came clearly.

"I understand, thank you," Gu Nuo replied in his mind without much surprise.

However, just as he moved to find a suitable spot, Kirino Makio's voice rang out again: "But are you sure you want to do it now?"

Gu Nuo stopped in his tracks.

“Look around you, Gu Nuo.”

Kirino Makio's voice was heavy with emotion: "If you make a move now, what do you think will happen?"

Gu Nuo looked around and saw that the crowd on the street was staring at the seemingly angelic figure in the sky with all sorts of expressions.

Some people peered out curiously;

Some people were moved to tears, and they clasped their hands together in front of her, as if they were praying for something;

Some even displayed an almost fanatical expression of worship, kneeling on the ground like the most loyal believers, muttering incantations.

If someone were to do something to the angels they were facing right now, Gu Nuo could easily imagine their reaction.

but……

"Yeah, I understand."

Without hesitation, Gu Nuo responded in his mind and quickly slipped into a quiet alley.

After confirming that no one was paying attention, he took out the Trust Evolver from his pocket and looked up at the seemingly sacred figure in the sky.

Then, a dazzling light shone through the alley...

……

……

"Grandma, you can't go!"

In the open space in front of the house, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on an elderly woman wearing reading glasses. She walked with faltering but firm steps toward the direction of the angels in the sky. Behind her, a boy of about seven or eight years old was trying his best to stop her, his young face full of anxiety.

"Don't stop me, Tomoki, that's the call of an angel, I have to go."

The old woman seemed dazed, her cloudy eyes fixed on the holy figure in the sky, as if drawn by some mysterious force.

"That's not an angel! Daddy won't come back, and no angel will take us away. Grandma, don't believe her anymore!"

The little boy named Zhishu was so anxious that tears welled up in his eyes, his voice was clearly trembling with sobs, and his small arms clung tightly to his grandmother's waist.

"Nonsense, how could an angel lie?"

The old woman stubbornly shook her head, her withered hand gently pushing away her grandson's obstruction, and continued to move forward.

Just as the stalemate was at its peak, pink-haired and blue-haired girls appeared, panting heavily.

Upon seeing Karen Himegami, Tomoki cried out with delight, as if grasping at a lifeline, "Cousin!"

"Tomoki!"

Himegami Karen immediately rushed forward to help dissuade her: "Grandma, come back quickly, that's not an angel, it's very dangerous!"

She spoke these words with a blind conviction, even though she had no idea what the angel-like creature in the sky was. A voice in her mind kept telling her that the creature was not an angel at all, but a dangerous creature that would bring bewitchment and destruction to mankind.

But no matter how urgent her inner voice was, she still didn't convey it directly to the other person.

The old woman gave a kind yet stubborn smile: "Look, even if you try to stop me, the angels will still come to take me away. Look—"

She shakily raised her withered finger and pointed it to the distant sky.

Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing, and their expressions immediately changed.

The angel was pointing in that direction, her holy face filled with compassion, inspiring awe in everyone.

"The angels heard my call..."

The old woman murmured to herself, a glimmer of hope shining in her cloudy eyes.

A white orb of light slowly condensed at the angel's fingertips, radiating a reassuring and holy aura, and drifted towards them as lightly as a dandelion.

"No way……"

A strong sense of unease crept up her spine as Banami instinctively reached for the fighting device in her pocket, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

At this critical moment, a silver-black figure suddenly appeared like lightning.

The silver-black giant appeared in front of the sphere of light with lightning speed. Its huge hand, carrying a sharp aura that could tear through the air, shattered the seemingly holy sphere of light with a precise and violent slap!

At the moment the sphere of light shattered, it burst forth with blinding white light, turning the sky, which was originally the color of the sunset, into a fiery white.

"...Angel...?" the old lady said blankly.

"Was it...was it the giants who saved us?" Tomoki's eyes widened, his voice trembling with disbelief.

The silver-black giant stood at the front of the courtyard, his massive body casting a reassuring shadow. He turned his head slightly toward the people inside, his moon-white eyes sweeping over them as if to confirm their safety.

Then, He turned around and looked at the angel in front of Him.

……

……

"What is that giant doing! Why is he interfering with the angels!"

"My angel, please destroy this savage demon!"

"You damned demon!"

Discontented shouts erupted from the crowd gathered in the streets. Many people, obsessed with the angel's appearance, pointed at the giant, and some even knelt down to pray, begging the angel to destroy this strange, silver-black giant.

The silver-black giant heard these sounds, but His silver eyes remained calmly fixed on the enemy before Him. Golden light flowed from the Nexus Armor on His arms, crossing them in front of Him before pushing them upwards as always.

but……

Just as the golden energy began to converge into a domain, the angel in front of him raised his right hand, and an invisible vibration wave instantly condensed into form.

With a "bang," the energy structure of the Meta Domain was completely shattered, turning into countless golden specks of light that dissipated into the air.

...?

With a slight lift of his head, the giant seemed to see a hint of mockery in the angel's eternally unchanging smile.

"Great! The angel has thwarted the devil's plot!"

"Angels are indeed the strongest!"

"That demon's evil magic has been exposed!"

The crowd on the ground erupted in cheers, and many people even hugged each other excitedly. They were completely blinded by the angel's holy appearance and immersed in their own world.

"..."

The silver-black giant slowly lowered his arms, and the golden light on Nexus's armor gradually faded.

A knowing glint flashed in His pure white eyes—He seemed to understand what the other party was plotting.

However... it's kind of funny.

He glanced silently at the jubilant crowd at his feet, and the next second…

The giant's figure suddenly blurred—almost instantly vanished from its spot, and the silver-black figure appeared before the angel! Its speed was so fast that it didn't even leave an afterimage; all that could be seen was a ring of sonic boom bursting in the air.

"boom--!"

A heavy punch landed squarely on the angel's chest, sending his massive, hundred-meter-tall body flying backward and crashing into the clouds high in the sky. The enormous shockwave even shattered a circular gap in the sea of ​​clouds below.

Only then did the cheering crowd on the ground suddenly fall silent. They stared at the sky in disbelief, still unable to process what had happened.

Looking up, the silver-black giant's figure blurred and disappeared again, leaving only the gradually dissipating sound barrier cloud. Then, a series of muffled impacts echoed from the clouds high above.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Each loud bang was accompanied by the violent churning of the sea of ​​clouds, as if two giant beasts were engaged in a life-or-death struggle above the clouds. Occasionally, a silver-black afterimage would flash through the gaps in the clouds, followed by an even more violent collision.

What...what just happened?

A young man on the ground stammered, nearly dropping his phone.

The crowd that had been cheering moments before fell silent. Everyone stared up, mouths agape, at the churning sea of ​​clouds.
