Chapter 133
On the surface of Earth, humans were observing the large-scale meteor shower caused by the battle between angels and demons! The humans of this world had already developed to the level of modern technology, and they had high-rise buildings and smartphones. When this ma.s.sive meteor shower appeared and was visible to the naked eye, the news immediately spread all over the world over the TV, radio, and internet. But at this moment, they still did not know what this meteor shower burning with flames and thick smoke and flying toward the ground was. They simply thought that it was a rare astronomical phenomenon. But what surprised the scientists was that the meteor shower appeared without warning, and the human world could not even give an early warning
It was already too late for the people on the ground to take refuge. They could only hope that these meteors were real meteors that would burn away under the friction with the atmosphere.
Countless humans were waiting in front of their TVs and various screens, anxiously and curiously observing the situation of the meteors.
However, these ignorant people did not know what they would encounter…
When the first meteorites crashed into the high-rising building built with steel and concrete and easily destroyed these structures, people suddenly realized what was going on!
Panic spread. When the humans discovered that the meteorites had not burned up from the atmosphere, they realized the seriousness of the situation. They scattered like headless flies, running in all directions, not knowing where to go for safety.
Meteorites fell one after another, smas.h.i.+ng into the ground with ma.s.sive kinetic energy and destructive force!
When they hit streets, numerous vehicles flew up and then fell down with loud bangs. Then they exploded into pieces and caught fire. When they hit buildings, hundreds of tons of reinforced concrete fell and buried the people who could not escape in time. When they hit bridges, the entire bridge surface broke apart, and the vehicles driving on the bridge had a large number of rear-end collisions in an instant. Even when these meteorites fell into the sea, they caused huge waves that overturned s.h.i.+ps, sinking them into the seabed.
At this moment, all of Earth welcomed disasters from the sky…
The survivors cried and looked for their loved ones, but driven by curiosity, they gathered at where the meteorites crashed. They carefully avoided the flames on the ground and looked at the enormous craters that were tens of meters deep in fear, wanting to see what kind of meteorites had such great might.
However… before they could see clearly, there were huge vibrations in all of these deep craters. As soil was sent surging out, demons and angels crawled out from the bottom of the craters.
Before falling, they were still entangled and fighting, but the outcome was basically determined as they landed.
When people saw ma.s.sive demons with hideous faces, holding angels with pure white wings in their hands, or angels with the corpses of demons hanging from the tips of their lances, the humans, who were already extremely terrified, broke down at this moment! The scenes in front of them had already exceeded their understanding. Angels and demons actually existed. Moreover, the meteorite disaster descending from the sky this time was not an astronomical phenomenon, but angels and demons fighting each other!
However, neither the demons nor angels would pay attention to the thoughts of these humans at this moment. In the eyes of demons, these panicking humans were delicious souls, especially to low-rank demons. Their main purpose in partic.i.p.ating in the war was to obtain souls in chaotic fights. How could they let go of a chance like this? Therefore, they started killing humans as soon as they emerged. They used their strong limbs to knock down the fleeing humans, opened their mouths full of sharp teeth, and bit down without hesitation. While enjoying the flesh, they also devoured the souls.

It was the same for angels. They could not care about protecting humans at the moment because demons were everywhere; enemies were everywhere. When they rushed to fight demons, they could not control the impact of the battles from affecting these humans.
Just like how angels and demons had fought thousands of times, both sides were frenzied. The only difference was that the battle between the two sides had left the alternate s.p.a.ce and had come to the human world…
The cities were destroyed, forests were burning, seawater was evaporating, and in the huge explosions, lightning and flames lit up the sky. With the wails of human civilization, doomsday had come!
Roy had also come to the surface. He was not stupid. When he saw the clouds collapse earlier, he knew that if he continued to stay in that alternate s.p.a.ce, he might encounter a high-level angel, so he did not hesitate to rush out. On the way, he was also entangled by an angel soldier. He killed the angel soldier about a kilometer away from the ground and flapped his wings to stop his fall, avoiding cras.h.i.+ng into the ground.
However, looking at the disaster happening below and then at the falling meteorites in the sky, Roy finally knew what world he had come to.
“d.a.m.n it. It’s actually the Darksiders world!”
Not only did Roy recall what kind of world this was from his memory, but he did not expect that he would personally partic.i.p.ate in the End War at the beginning of this world.
If he evaluated this world, then he was afraid that he would have to say that it was a rather high-magic world…
Roy had a vague impression of the general plot of this game world, though it was a little blurry. If he did not remember wrongly, it seemed that the humans of this world were rather tragic. In the war between angels and demons, humanity was completely wiped out!
Yes, unlike in other fantasy worlds, the protagonists of this world were not humans at all…
In this world, angels and demons had appeared long ago. Like in other worlds, they fought and killed each other, but neither of them could destroy the other. And apart from the angels and demons, this world still had a force known as the Charred Council! And there were some powerful ancient races, but many of them had declined.
It was said that the Charred Council was created due to the will of the Creator. A mysterious and powerful organization, its duty was, in the name of the Creator and in accordance with the ancient laws and contracts, to maintain the balance and order of the universe and punish the forces that threatened the balance!
And under the command of the Charred Council, there were the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse, representing war, famine, pestilence, and death in the Book of Revelations. These Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse had unparalleled strength. And with the strength of the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse, the Charred Council could even fight against both angels and demons at the same time.
Originally, the council had ignored the war between the angels and demons. After all, the council was neutral. But as time pa.s.sed, and this world continued to evolve, humans appeared on it. After discovering the appearance of humans, the Charred Council realized that these weak and intelligent creatures would be an indispensable part of the world’s balance in the future. Therefore, to protect the newly-born human civilization and prevent it from being obliterated by the conflict between the angels and demons too soon, the council dispatched the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse to force the angels and demons to stop fighting and sign a truce.
This truce contract was, of course, not eternal. The Charred Council, angels, and demons agreed that when human civilization matured and was ready, the truce would come to an end! At that time, the three parties of angels, demons, and humans would welcome the final End War. This war would bring balance to all and decide the ultimate fate of the three parties.
At the same time, no matter which side remained, the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse would descend. They would become the hope of the humans, the lords of Heaven, or the demons of h.e.l.l, leading the party with fate to reshape the rules of the world…
The truce contract was carried on seven seals. When the seals broke, it meant that the truce was over. This also meant that human civilization was ready, and the End War could begin.
But if the angels and demons dared to break the contract and start a war before the seals broke, the council would send the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse to punish them.
The signing of the truce contract did indeed give humans the time and opportunity to develop. However, regrettably, before the humans were truly ready for the End War, the seals carrying the contract were broken…
There was a saying that stated that contracts and rules were meant to be broken, and it was no exception here.
Roy vaguely remembered that the leader of the angels was impatient and could not wait to destroy the demons for revenge, so he schemed to destroy the seals!
However, he did not destroy all seven seals but only six of them, leaving the last seal and hiding its aura. This way, the demons would mistakenly believe that the seals were broken and start the End War first. And as long as the seals did not all break, the powerful Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse would not descend. At that time, as long as the angels could destroy the demons as soon as possible, even the council could not blame them because the demons were the ones who initiated the war.
In theory, this sly move was feasible, and the angels indeed successfully misled the demons into taking the lead to gather their troops to attack the angel’s base camp, the White City. However, Roy could still remember a point clearly—this sly move of the angels not only misled the demons but also misled War, who represented war among the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse!
War thought that the seven seals had broken, so he responded to the summons and descended to the world. However, after coming to the world, he realized something was wrong, so he fulfilled his responsibility of punis.h.i.+ng, not only attacking the demons and also the angels…
This was the biggest headache for Roy. Since the war between angels and demons had begun, it meant that War of the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse would come soon!
When the Horseman War descended, he would fully display his strength. He could be said to be nigh invincible, and he was an existence that gave even demon kings headaches. And Roy did not know where this powerful punisher would land. If a middle-rank demon like him accidentally b.u.mped into him head-on, he would probably be done for…
No, this isn’t the time to fight blindly with angels. I have to find a way to avoid the time when War arrives!
In the air, Roy swayed his tail while pondering…
