Chapter 481: Power of Judgment
From luring the enemy, breaking the s.h.i.+eld, creating flaws, and then the final explosive attack, the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse could be said to have done it smoothly in one go.
After shooting down Jubileus from the sky, a pair of enormous black fallen angel wings suddenly appeared behind Strife. These fallen angel wings had three pairs of split wings on them, making them look like six wings. After spreading his wings, Strife slowly descended, and his black warhorse returned from its hiding place and supported him again.
Four people, four horses, stood in the air and looked down at Jubileus, who was falling to the ground like a meteor.
To be honest, after seeing this scene, Berial, Madama Styx, and the others were extremely surprised. They had fought against Jubileus earlier, but their attacks could not even break through her defense. On the other hand, the four people summoned by Osiris not only had exquisite cooperation in their attacks, but they were also exceptionally powerful. This was the first time that they had seen Jubileus beaten to such a sorry state.
When Jubileus was still a little distance from the ground, she finally stopped her body from falling and turned around to float again. But her expression, which had always been expressionless, now looked unexpectedly ferocious.
The reason was the long whip mark on her face, the kick marks on her abdomen, and the scorch marks on her chest!
These wounds were so obvious that even Roy and the others could see them from afar. Moreover, they also noticed that these wounds on Jubileus did not recover under her holy light power but remained.
After discovering this, Roy was a little surprised. He realized that the attacks of the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse seemed to contain some special power, and it was this power that was suppressing the recovery of Jubileus’s injuries.
Even the people watching the battle noticed it, let alone Jubileus. Her palm was full of strong golden holy light as she tried to smooth the whip mark on her face, but she could not get rid of it no matter what. She was furious as she said hatefully, “d.a.m.n it! What is this?! Why can’t I get rid of it?!”
“Don’t waste your efforts!” Strife spun the two guns in his hands and said teasingly, “Since we dared to fight against an Archangel like you, don’t tell me you really think that we wouldn’t have any preparations? The four of us have the power of judgment. With this power of judgment, we four siblings have killed angels and demons. Together, we can finish off your Heaven!”
“The power of judgment?!” Hearing this term, not only was Jubileus stunned, but Roy and Sparda were stunned as well. They looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other’s eyes.
If Roy’s guess was right, this so-called ‘power of judgment’ was probably the same as the ‘authority’ of the demon king and Archangel level!
However, the strange thing was that Roy could feel that any one of the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse was much stronger than demon lords like him and Sparda, but they were not at the demon king level. How could they obtain the power of authority while being at the level higher than demon lord but lower than demon king?
Roy’s eyes flickered as he thought of what Samael had said. He suspected that this power of judgment could only be used when the Four Hors.e.m.e.n gathered together?
Regarding Jubileus’s authority of ‘creation’ and the Four Hors.e.m.e.n’s authority of ‘judgment’, Roy could not imagine what kind of power it was. Perhaps he could only experience it after he reached that level and grasped his own authority. But this did not prevent him from seeing that the power of judgment of the Four Hors.e.m.e.n had a powerful suppression effect on Jubileus’s immortal body.
When an immortal body was no longer immortal, it meant that even an Archangel like Jubileus could be destroyed and killed. The body had to be driven by the soul, and the soul had to be attached to the body for protection. Any problem with the body and soul would turn into a disaster. Even powerful G.o.ds could not violate this principle because G.o.ds could also die!
After realizing that these Four Hors.e.m.e.n could actually use the power of authority, Jubileus finally let go of her indifference and became serious.
An illusory giant clock appeared in the world again. With the reversal of the clock needle, all the wounds on Jubileus’s body disappeared in the next second. Since her body’s recovery power could not heal these wounds, she would reverse time again…
This scene not only caused Roy’s and the others’ hearts to sink, but it also made the Four Hors.e.m.e.n look solemn. Only now did they discover that this Archangel in front of them still had the power of time. This trouble was much greater than previously imagined!
Any existence that controlled the power of time was a bug-level existence. Lilith alone in the Darksiders world was enough to give the Four Hors.e.m.e.n a headache. Unexpectedly, they encountered another one after coming to this world…
But at this moment, Roy’s voice came in the ears of the Four Hors.e.m.e.n, using magic to transmit his voice to them. “Don’t worry. This ability to turn back time doesn’t originate from her but from the power of a divine artifact, the Eyes of the World. Now, the Eyes of the World is on her forehead. It’s the glowing third eye. If you can find a way to take away the Eyes of the World, her ability to turn back time will no longer be usable!”
After hearing what Roy said, the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse could not help but heave a sigh of relief. So that’s how it is. There’s still a way to deal with it…
After Jubileus recovered from her injuries, her power began to spread domineeringly again. The small world she created once again underwent immense changes. Not only did the direction of gravity become chaotic again, but gravity also increased by nearly a hundred times. Everyone on the small world suddenly sank, and they felt as though their bodies were being violently torn in all directions.
This powerful chaotic gravity made the Four Hors.e.m.e.n roar in pain. The warhorses under them could not withstand this damage, so the Four Hors.e.m.e.n put away their warhorses. They used the power of judgment to minimize the impact of Jubileus’s power on them. Then they spread their fallen angel wings and charged at her again.
With a raise of her hand, numerous rocks, which had become incomparably dense due to being compressed by the high gravity, floated up from the ground. They turned into meteors and flew toward the Four Hors.e.m.e.n. Powerful flames appeared around the Four Hors.e.m.e.n, and just like four enormous fireb.a.l.l.s, they smashed these rocks as they charged forward. When the four of them rushed to the front of her, what greeted them was a golden holy sword condensed from powerful holy light suddenly appearing in her hand!
Clang! With a deafening bang, War’s Armageddon Blade slashed at Jubileus’s holy sword. The collision of the two powerful swords caused a shock wave like a nuclear explosion occurred!
In this shock wave, the unaffected Jubileus swept away War, and all her braids moved together to block the attacks of the other three Hors.e.m.e.n.
The Four Hors.e.m.e.n and Jubileus engaged in close combat. The powerful force that constantly erupted made the entire small world seem as though it had entered a cataclysm. The devastating power and impacts blasted this small world until it was on the verge of collapse.
“We have to go out! We can’t intervene in this battle!” Sparda shouted at Roy. “If we don’t go out, we might be buried!”
Roy nodded and did not waste any time. He endured the pain of his body being torn by the chaotic supergravity, spread his wings, and flew toward the outside of the small world. Behind him, Sparda, Berial, and the others quickly followed.
The place they chose to rush out was naturally where the Four Hors.e.m.e.n had smashed through the small world when they descended. The demon lords used all their strength and tried their best to maintain high-speed flight. In the end, after some time, they finally left the small world.
After rus.h.i.+ng out, Roy found that the small world Jubileus created had an astonis.h.i.+ng area of at least twenty thousand square kilometers. Since this small world was still in Heaven, looking down from above, he could see a transparent membrane of light wrapped around it.
At the periphery of the small world was Heaven’s Aesir City. When Roy and the others rushed out, they found that the ancient angels in the distant Aesir City were in chaos.
“Oh no! Dante and the others!” Sparda immediately reacted and hurriedly spread his wings to fly toward Aesir City because he found that the chaos in Aesir City was due to the ancient angels surrounding Dante and the others.
After Jubileus revived and broke the barrier of Aesir City from the inside, everyone could finally enter and exit Aesir City. Of course, the detained Dante, Vergil, and Nero were unwilling to wait for the battle to end, so they found an opportunity to break free from the angel’s control and wanted to escape to meet up with Roy and Sparda. The battle between Jubileus and the Four Hors.e.m.e.n of the Apocalypse attracted the attention of the angels, and they were caught off guard, allowing Dante and the others to succeed. But after reacting, the angels immediately began to hunt down the three of them, thus causing the chaos in Aesir City.
Roy led Berial and the others and rushed over with Sparda. Soon, they saw Dante and the others fighting the angels while retreating toward them.
They could not intervene in the battle between the Four Hors.e.m.e.n and Jubileus, but they could still beat these ancient angels, so they immediately rushed forward with sinister grins and began to rescue Dante and the other two.
All of Heaven was in chaos at this moment…
