Gabriel found the location of the disturbance and opened a Gate of Heaven to teleport over. Because no one was guiding and navigating for him, there was a slight error in the location where the Gate of Heaven opened, and he almost opened it in the sun.
Of course, this was only a small problem, and the distance wasn’t an issue for Gabriel.
However, it wasn’t until this moment that he suddenly realized something. He remembered that there was a military outpost of Heaven in this world, but ever since he came, he hadn’t sensed the aura of any angel, nor had any angel appeared at the scene.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Gabriel flashed and disappeared.
He was too fast. By the time Roy reacted, Gabriel had already arrived on the moon and was flying above the Red Sea Egg. Roy quickly folded his wings and plunged down.
When he was at high alt.i.tude just now, Gabriel couldn’t see the exact appearance of the Red Sea Egg clearly. He only knew that it was a mountain-like behemoth. After landing, he circled the Red Sea Egg and observed it in surprise.
“This… this is… the Red Sea Egg?!” Gabriel was extremely surprised.
As one of the first angels born in Eden, Gabriel had naturally seen the Red Sea
Egg, but this was hundreds of millions of years ago. His impression of the Red Sea Egg in his memory was already a little blurry, so it took him a while to finally recall it.
The more this was the case, the more surprised he was. Something that had disappeared from his memory for so long suddenly appeared here, and it seemed to be operating. There was no need to mention the surprise in Gabriel’s heart.
Just as he wanted to take a closer look at the Red Sea Egg, Roy appeared in front of him and blocked his path.
With Frostmourne in hand, Roy pointed the tip of his sword at Gabriel. “Sorry, it’s forbidden to approach here now!”
“Why is this Legacy of the Creator here?!” Gabriel’s tone became very serious as he questioned Roy. “What are you doing with it?! Who is in the Red Sea Egg?”
Roy was a little surprised when he heard what Gabriel said. From Gabriel’s tone, he didn’t seem to know the use of the Red Sea Egg… Also, although the Red Sea Egg was isolating a portion of Lilith’s aura, it still revealed some. It was impossible for Gabriel not to sense it, but he didn’t seem to recognize her.
Roy narrowed his eyes as many thoughts flashed through his mind, and he made a guess.
Regarding the true use of the Red Sea Egg, it might be… relatively secret!
Therefore, not every angel and demon who had followed the Creator knew. Lilith should have always held and used this Creator’s Petri Dish, and others had not come into contact with it much. They might know that it was a Legacy of the Creator, but they probably didn’t know much about its specific function.
This guess was very likely. After all, not only were demons using clones to travel the Infinite Worlds, but angels were also doing it. If angels and demons really knew that the Red Sea Egg could fuse their clones back unharmed and return them to the Deadly Sin level, they would have long beaten their brains out in order to s.n.a.t.c.h this Legacy of the Creator…
Similarly, very few people knew about the Deadly Sin fusion ritual. Lilith had deliberately hidden this from the angels and demons. So Gabriel saw that the Red Sea Egg was operating, but he didn’t know that it was a ritual.
As for why Gabriel couldn’t recognize Lilith’s aura, the reason was probably very simple. After all, Lilith’s clones were different from others and had many forms of power, so her aura was not unchanging. Now that hundreds of Liliths were mixed in the Red Sea Egg, it was even more confusing.
Of course, perhaps Gabriel could still recognize Lilith after seeing her appearance. But before he arrived, she had already entered the Red Sea Egg.
Roy couldn’t tell if this Gabriel from Eden was the true Gabriel. But judging from his strength, he should be the one Roy had seen through Uriel’s memories and had spoken to Archangel Michael. He could basically treat him as the main body. This Gabriel should have seen Lilith’s original appearance and form. Perhaps the moment the fusion ritual finished and the original Lilith returned, he would be able to recognize her immediately.
The only problem now was that Roy didn’t know the relations.h.i.+p between Lilith and Gabriel. If Gabriel knew that the person in the Red Sea Egg was Lilith, would he choose to wait or stop her?
Recalling the many myths and legends about Lilith and her instructions for him to protect the ritual, Roy quickly made a judgment and decided not to reveal any information about her to Gabriel. Roy shook his head. “What does it have to do with you? I found the Red Sea Egg, so what does it have to do with you what I do with it?”
“How dare you!!” The holy flames around Gabriel suddenly soared, and the rising golden flames showed his anger. He berated, “How can a demon like you touch a Legacy of the Creator?! Since you’re so bold and reckless, I’ll adjudicate you here!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gabriel immediately turned into a golden ray of light and instantly arrived in front of Roy. The sword in his hand slashed down!
Angels at the Archangel level basically had bodies of holy light, bodies made of pure holy light power. In addition to having an extremely powerful defense against dark power, such bodies also had a very powerful ability—they could fly and fight at the speed of light.
However, not every Archangel could use this combat method. At least, the five
Archangels of the High Heavens couldn’t do it, and the reason was very simple. Fighting at the speed of light required an extremely high level of thinking and control ability from the Archangel. Even if you were so fast that the enemy couldn’t react in time, you needed to be able to make an attack the moment you approached the enemy. Otherwise, it was very likely that you would accidentally brush past the enemy while moving at the speed of light and fly far away.
Moreover, holy light, like light, traveled in a straight line. If you wanted to fight normally, you had to be able to stop and turn back in an instant. These operations were extremely complicated under light speed conditions, so very few Archangels would fight at the speed of light. For example, when Imperius fought Roy, his speed was probably only about 1% of the speed of light.
However, Gabriel was different. As one of the oldest angels, he had already mastered the technique of light speed combat over the long years. The moment he attacked Roy, golden holy light immediately intertwined into a giant net of light around Roy!
This net of light was formed by Gabriel using his sword to slash out tens of thousands of times in an instant. Because they were too fast, it felt as though they appeared at the same time.
This was an extremely terrifying attack. Tens of thousands of slashes came at the same time. Not only did each strike contain powerful holy light power, but because of the kinetic energy added to the blade from the extremely high speed, these slashes that combined holy light and physical attacks had unparalleled lethality!
Fortunately, Roy had already activated the A.T. Field when he confirmed that Gabriel was going to attack, so his attacks didn’t land on Roy but on the protective force field.
After the force field blocked Gabriel’s slashes, a strong explosion immediately erupted. Its power was like thousands of nuclear bombs exploding simultaneously, and dazzling light illuminated the entire moon’s surface. Even the people on Sanctuary could see this intense flas.h.!.+
And in this flash, Roy’s A.T. Field’s golden polygons were instantly activated, and countless ripples rapidly spread out. All the explosive power produced by
Gabriel’s attack was continuously absorbed and transformed with these ripples. Even so, Roy felt that the force field was in imminent danger, as though it would collapse at any time, so he could only maintain the A.T. Field desperately.
To put it bluntly, Gabriel’s attack could have instantly killed any other demon king. As someone with the power to guard Eden, the Supreme Heaven, the power of Gabriel’s body was beyond imagination.
But even such powerful strength couldn’t be called the Deadly Sin level. Roy could not imagine how powerful the original Gabriel was…
Perhaps after Lilith completed the fusion ritual, he would be able to catch a glimpse of it…
The violent explosion made Roy’s force field tremble non-stop. He gritted his teeth and persisted. Fortunately, this attack didn’t exceed his tolerance limit, and the A.T. Field finally withstood the explosion.
After the explosion and the flash faded away, Gabriel was a little surprised to see Roy intact. But before he could say anything, Roy’s counterattack came. He directly reversed the A.T. Field and launched the absorbed energy at Gabriel. Roy estimated that with Gabriel’s speed, this attack might be useless, but he had to try no matter what…
Roy estimated that with Gabriel’s speed, this attack might be useless, but he had to try no matter what…
A huge beam of light with a diameter of nearly a kilometer erupted from Roy’s position and instantly blasted toward Gabriel. But Gabriel merely flashed and instantly moved out of the range of the beam. The beam of light shot out straight into the depths of s.p.a.ce.
Then in the distant dark s.p.a.ce, a light spot suddenly erupted. It seemed to be an asteroid or meteor that happened to be in the path of the beam and was unfortunately hit.
Roy’s expression was unprecedentedly solemn. Although he had always wanted to repay Gabriel for his ‘care’ of him, he realized how terrifying Gabriel was when he really fought him.
Lilith had asked him to protect the Red Sea Egg. Logically speaking, he only needed to stall Gabriel. But judging from the speed Gabriel displayed, it was probably impossible to stall him alone. If he couldn’t limit Gabriel’s speed, it would be an extravagant hope to stall him.
On Roy’s shoulder, Auriel spread her wings and shot countless Void rays at Gabriel, but none of the Void rays. .h.i.t him. He shuttled through the densely-packed rays with ease. Due to his speed being too fast, countless afterimages even appeared on his body, and all the Void rays merely pa.s.sed through these afterimages.
While dodging, Gabriel swung his sword at Roy from afar again. But this time, he used the power of holy light to cast Holy Judgment at Roy! An enormous sword of light appeared in s.p.a.ce and slashed toward Roy’s head. Roy continued to use the A.T. Field to block it. The sword of light pierced into the A.T. Field and turned into blazing holy flames that enveloped the entire force field.
Although he didn’t have a face, Gabriel still frowned in his heart. This was because the moment the Holy Judgment landed, he felt that this attack was still useless, and it was even inferior to the light-speed slashes just now. The strange s.h.i.+eld around Demon King Osiris was very similar to the ability Divine s.h.i.+eld, which could withstand almost any damage during the duration.
Forget it. In that case, I’ll just use my sword to kill him…
With this thought in mind, Gabriel was about to continue when he suddenly found that Roy’s figure had disappeared in front of him.
It was not a skill like Flash or Teleport. In Gabriel’s perception, Demon King Osiris’s aura had completely disappeared from the material world, surprising him. Before he could understand what was going on, several rifts suddenly appeared around him. At the same time, streamers emerged from these rifts and wrapped around Gabriel’s limbs and wings.
“What is this?” Gabriel was shocked. To be honest, he really couldn’t react because he had already discovered that these rifts were not spatial rifts but… Void rifts!
Yes, Roy’s sudden disappearance just now was not because he had used some teleportation skill. He knew very well that such abilities wouldn’t have any effect on Gabriel, who could travel at the speed of light, so he chose a bolder attack!
Roy directly entered the Void!
With the protection of Chaos power and the Void power he had obtained from Lilith, although Roy was not a Void creature, he could travel through the Void like one. This was an ability he had experimented with not long ago.
Entering the Void was equivalent to entering the back of the material world. So in Gabriel’s perception, Roy had disappeared from the material world. After entering the Void, Roy could sense Gabriel’s location in the material world because he had released an invisible Demon Eye in advance, making it his navigation coordinates in the material world. Relying on this Demon Eye, he used Auriel’s weapon, the Cord of Hope… Of course, it should now be called the Cord of Despair. He turned the Cord of Despair into several streamers, directly opened Void rifts near the Demon Eye, sent these streamers drilling out, and captured Gabriel in an unexpected surprise attack.
Of course, there might be some errors in doing this because the Demon Eye was not too close to Gabriel, so Roy could only cast a net to capture him.
The purpose of doing this was naturally to pull Gabriel into the Void!
Roy succeeded. After all, there were enough streamers from the Cord of Despair… The moment the Cord of Despair entangled him, Gabriel couldn’t break free immediately. As the Void power on the Cord of Despair erupted, Gabriel was directly dragged into the Void.
In the Void, there was true darkness everywhere. Perception abilities were useless here, but the Void Eye on Roy’s chest gave him vision. He saw that the moment Gabriel was pulled into the Void, he was stunned and didn’t dare to move.
Void power surged from all directions and began to corrode his body. Gabriel only felt that there was malice everywhere. When the holy light on his body came into contact with the Void power, it began to decompose continuously. But in order to prevent the Void power from corroding his body, he could only maintain his holy light power to protect himself.
It was not that Gabriel had never entered the Void before, so he naturally knew what was going on in the Void. But this time, it was a little different. In addition to the corrosion of the Void, there was Demon King Osiris lurking here. Gabriel didn’t know how Osiris would attack, so he could only do his best to guard against it. At the same time, his mind was spinning rapidly as he thought about how to escape from the Void.
The most troublesome problem in the Void was that if you didn’t have navigation coordinates of the material world, you couldn’t open a rift between the material world and the Void. Although there was s.p.a.ce in the Void, it was completely chaotic. If you opened a rift carelessly, it was very likely that you would fall deeper into the Void. This was the strangest part of the Void. Even though Roy had some Void power and could enter the Void at will, he didn’t dare to enter recklessly without leaving navigation coordinates.
Gabriel had studied the Void before, so he knew this very well. But in the past, when he entered the Void, his comrades of Eden could guide him back. But this time, he had come to Sanctuary alone, so he couldn’t count on his comrades.
As a newcomer to this world, Gabriel didn’t have time to leave anything for navigation. So after thinking for a while, he could only helplessly give up the idea of returning on his own and planned to use Demon King Osiris to escape.
Gabriel was very calm. He knew very well that Demon King Osiris was not a Void creature. Since he wasn’t a Void creature, it was impossible for him to stay in the Void for a long time. The other party had pulled him into the Void because he wanted to use the darkness of the Void to ambush him. As long as he could find a way to capture Osiris when he was close, he might be able to force Osiris to bring him out.
Therefore, Gabriel stayed where he was, seemingly motionless, but he was fully focused on guarding against Roy’s attack.
After he waited for a while, the expected attack didn’t come…
It wasn’t until this moment that Gabriel suddenly realized that he had guessed wrongly. Osiris didn’t pull him into the Void to ambush him but to… exile him!
In the material world, above the moon, a Void rift opened. Roy returned with the guidance of the Demon Eye. After he appeared, he looked at the gradually closing Void rift with some vexation.
Tsk, he’s indeed not easy to deal with… Roy rubbed the demon horns on his head in annoyance.
At first, he had really wanted to ambush Gabriel in the Void. But after seeing Gabriel’s vigilant posture, he realized that Gabriel was not like Auriel, who had no experience entering the Void. When Auriel was thrown into the Void, she was immediately blind, but Gabriel was prepared to defend. If he had attacked him, Gabriel might have instead seized an opportunity. After all, he was too fast…
After thinking about it, Roy simply came out himself. His first task now was to ensure that Lilith’s ritual would not be disturbed. As for the battle with Gabriel, it was secondary.
Heh, maybe Gabriel is still waiting for me to attack him! Roy revealed a strange smile, feeling quite happy.
This was Gabriel. There were probably very few people who could fool him once, right?
He would leave him in the Void for now and let him stay for a while. If he could think of a way to return, then Roy would let him figure it out himself.. If he couldn’t think of a way, Roy didn’t mind letting him stay trapped in the Void…
