"They... they won't fall?!"
"Is that really true, Lord Holy Son?"
Michael's voice trembled slightly.
Would they never fall?
Although this might affect the purity of angels to some extent, the impact on the fallen angels would obviously be far greater.
In other words, if every angel currently in Heaven underwent a second reincarnation, then the fallen angel faction would no longer have any way to gain new members.
Although the three factions had now formed an alliance, and the Lord Holy Son was indeed leading it, Michael naturally still did not want the children of Heaven to fall and become fallen angels.
If the slightest wavering of faith could cause an angel to fall, Michael felt those children should at least be given another chance.
"Of course they won't."
Anos was using the evolution data of the Flügel.
The angels of this world could fall, but there was no concept of "falling" among the Flügel.
They were born for battle and inherently possessed destructive tendencies.
There was simply no distinction between purity and corruption in that sense.
After all, angels were the dependents of a benevolent God.
The Flügel were the dependents of a God of War.
"All right. Anyone below the level of a ten-winged angel only needs to enter this place to successfully undergo a second reincarnation."
After bringing out the Ark red sphere and making a series of parameter adjustments, Anos spoke.
"As for all of you, I already collected your data earlier. However, further testing and adjustments are still required, so I'll have to handle you one at a time."
With a sweep of his hand, Anos engraved the confirmed parameters directly into the reincarnation pool.
"Yes. It would be our honor."
Michael bowed slightly.
He naturally would not feel dissatisfied simply because he might undergo reincarnation later than some ordinary angels.
After all...
Unlike ordinary angels, the Lord Holy Son would personally oversee their reincarnation.
That was treatment on an entirely different level.
"All right. I'll leave Heaven to you. I have something else I need to finish."
Anos narrowed his eyes slightly.
"May victory accompany you, Lord Holy Son."
Michael smiled and offered his blessing.
He knew what Anos intended to do, but he had no intention of stopping him.
After all, this was the will of his God.
...
"Before I leave, this is the final stop."
Deep within the Underworld, Anos spoke to Cang Yue.
There was still a contract with Cang Yue that needed to be fulfilled, so it would be better to demonstrate its effects in front of her first.
Of course, the most important reason was...
Removing a potential threat.
"The Gates of the Dead... what do you think?"
Anos looked at the enormous gate before them and asked with a smile.
The Gates of the Dead were the entrance to the realm of the dead.
The realm of the dead and the Underworld were not the same place.
More precisely, the Underworld, where the devils lived, was situated above the realm of the dead.
That was why Hades would sometimes complain about crows and bats annoyingly jumping around above his head.
"I have to admit, it looks a little boring."
Cang Yue spoke while freezing a three-headed hellhound that charged toward her.
"It won't be boring for much longer."
Anos lightly kicked forward.
Boom!
The Gates of the Dead shattered instantly.
"Hades! Get out here!"
The moment he entered the realm of the dead, Anos shouted into its depths.
One could certainly say that he had come here looking for trouble with Hades.
Although Hades himself was not Anos's ultimate objective, if Hades stood in his way, then Anos would simply dismantle his bones along the way.
"Red Dragon Emperor! What are you doing in the realm of the dead?!"
A high-ranking Grim Reaper was the first to step forward.
He was clearly intimidated, but among those currently facing Anos, he possessed the highest rank.
If even he failed to take a stand, Hades would probably settle accounts with him afterward.
"I'm here to see Hades."
Anos spoke calmly.
"Meeting Lord Hades requires an appointment! Even if you are the Red Dragon Emperor favored by the Biblical God, that does not mean you can meet Lord Hades whenever you please!"
The high-ranking Grim Reaper felt that he could not allow the realm of the dead to lose face.
Even if Anos was an important figure, that did not mean everyone had to immediately kneel before him.
His arrogance was not without foundation.
A Grim Reaper's scythe harvested souls. Its inherently strange nature and destructive power made it far more terrifying than the attacks of many other races.
Even a highest-class devil would suffer badly if struck by the scythe of a high-ranking Grim Reaper.
As for Pluto, the highest-ranking Grim Reaper, although he had looked like a random mob when Vali instantly defeated him with his silver Juggernaut Drive, the truth was that Pluto genuinely possessed Satan-class strength.
And their leader needed even less explanation.
Although Hades's creepy laughter was enough to make people uncomfortable, his position among the world's ten strongest was absolutely genuine.
"Just call Hades out."
Anos spoke indifferently.
His true objective was Samael.
Samael was the fallen angel dragon created by the previous Biblical God and possessed an almost absolute advantage against dragonkind.
Since Anos had already formed a contract with Ophis, he felt it would be best to eliminate such a dangerous existence in advance.
The only reason he had not acted before was that he had lacked the strength to resolve the matter perfectly.
Now, he had no such concern.
After all...
Savior Star Dragon alone, using the power of the Star of Stars, could crush all conventional combat power essentially.
"I already told you! Even if you are someone favored by the Biblical God, you still..."
"Annoying."
Before the Grim Reaper could finish speaking, he lost the ability to speak forever.
His existence froze at that exact moment.
After Anos uttered that single word, Cang Yue lightly waved her hand toward the surroundings.
Crack...
Crack, crack, crack!
Countless Grim Reapers were instantly sealed within eternal ice.
Dulio possessed the ability to freeze the realm of the dead.
Cang Yue could do the same.
"You really are direct."
Anos sighed.
He had originally planned to wait for Hades to arrive and resolve the matter quickly.
He had not expected Cang Yue to act so decisively.
At this rate...
It seemed they might have to wait a little longer.
As for going to find Hades himself?
That option had never existed from the beginning.
Kicking down someone's door and waiting for them to come find him was much more his style.
"..."
Cang Yue remained silent.
She absolutely did not want Anos finding some excuse to turn her into her little-girl form again.
This man was far too unserious.
She absolutely could not allow him to catch any weakness.
Being teased and pampered by a man while trapped in the form of a little girl would become a lifelong dark memory for her.
Although she had already signed the contract, and theoretically her life no longer belonged entirely to herself...
Still...
She did not want to experience something like that again.
It was the first time she had ever felt this kind of uneasiness.
"He's here."
Cang Yue did not know how long she had been lost in those thoughts before she finally heard the man beside her speak.
