Chapter 345 Angel Egg
Looking at the Gate of Heaven, Roy found that the light of the magic formation was still bright, meaning that there was still some time before it closed.
The s.p.a.ce that Heaven was in was a Purgatory s.p.a.ce, a kind of subs.p.a.ce. Roy could only enter here after cracking the encryption in the main world. But if the Gate of Heaven closed, and he wanted to return to the main world from Heaven, it would be very troublesome.
Why?
From the s.p.a.ce magic Roy learned, this was probably because the subs.p.a.ce was much less stable than the main world s.p.a.ce.
In many cases, the difference between a main world and an inner world depended on the stability of the s.p.a.ce they were in. Purgatory s.p.a.ces were a kind of s.p.a.ce bubble attached to a main world s.p.a.ce, so their stability was naturally much worse. After all, these kinds of s.p.a.ce bubbles would sometimes drift away from the main world and sometimes burst, just like real soap bubbles.
Roy was an intruder and did not understand the characteristics of the Heaven s.p.a.ce. If he wanted to open a pa.s.sage from Heaven to return to the main world, he might be sucked into spatial turbulence. If he was lucky, he might end up somewhere unknown. If he was unlucky, he might die from a spatial storm…
This was why the angels wanted to close the Gate of Heaven and leave Roy here. Even if he was powerful enough and could kill all the angels, he might get lost on the way back.
In short, angels did everything possible to kill threatening demons. And vice-versa, it was the same for demons…
Of course, Roy could not let the Gate of Heaven fail, so he got Fat Tiger to guard here first and then called for Rafaro to lower his alt.i.tude. Roy jumped onto his back and had him fly toward Cloud City. Cloud City was the headquarters of the angels. The history of this enormous city could probably be traced back to the ancient era of the First Dragon. Precisely because of this, the holy light power condensed in this city was extraordinary.
While Roy rode Rafaro and gradually flew closer, the repulsion of the holy light was becoming more and more severe. He felt as though he was in fifty-degree weather, and his entire body was burning in pain from the scorching sun.
If not for the dark power in his body protecting him and resisting the holy light power, Roy did not know whether he would continue to persevere and get closer.
Cloud City was a magnificent city built in clouds. At a rough estimation, this city covered at least thirty square kilometers, enough to accommodate nearly a hundred thousand people. But in fact, there were only a few thousand angels in this city, so it naturally seemed empty. Especially after the battle, almost all the low-level angels had perished. Only less than a hundred angels remained in the city now…
When the angels saw Rafaro’s colossal body approaching, warning bells rang in the city. But strangely, the angels staying behind did not bravely come forward to face them. Instead, they flapped their wings and flew into the city, seemingly wanting to gather their strength to defend. Just as Roy and Rafaro were about to fly into the sky above the city, a golden translucent curtain wall suddenly appeared. This was the holy light of Cloud City. It was so ma.s.sive that it wrapped the entire city in a sphere and blocked Roy and Rafaro’s approach.
The barrier was extremely powerful. Roy reached out to touch the curtain wall, but the strong holy light on it burned him.
Unwilling, Roy and Rafaro bombarded the barrier, wanting to destroy it.
However… this barrier could be said to be the final resistance of Heaven’s Cloud City. When it was established, it was built using the demon army attacking Heaven as the imaginary enemy. It could be said that this was a barrier that could withstand the simultaneous attacks of dozens of demon lords. How could Roy alone blow it open?
For nearly ten minutes, he consumed a lot of magic power to bombard the barrier, but he could not even shake it.
Left with no choice, Roy and Rafaro could only stay a distance away and fly around the city.
The holy light power emanating close to the city was even stronger, helping the dark power in Roy’s body to transform. Anyway, he had already killed many angels in this ritual, and his battle achievements were enough. He was just waiting to complete the transformation and become a true demon lord, so it did not matter if the remaining angels hid or not. However, Roy was still slightly worried. The only remaining six-winged throne, Orfina, suddenly left during the battle. This behavior was really strange. He could not enter the city and could not find out the reason. This was indeed a little difficult for those with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Sitting cross-legged on Rafaro’s forehead, Roy felt the boiling dark power in his body. Under the tremendous pressure of the holy light, he waited for the moment the dark power broke out of the coc.o.o.n.
But at this moment, a gigantic golden pillar of light suddenly soared into the sky from the center of Cloud City! This golden pillar of light was so dazzling that it not only did hurt people’s eyes, but the holy power contained in it was also shockingly immense. In Roy’s Radiation Perception, it was as though he saw the light of the sun, startling him so much that he stood up on Rafaro’s forehead. “What’s going on?!” Roy looked at the golden pillar of light in bewilderment.
“A true seraph was born!” Rafaro’s tone was solemn. “No wonder that female angel returned. It’s probably because the seraph’s birth was at a critical stage, and she ran back to protect…”
Rafaro’s guess was right. At this moment, in a magnificent hall in the center of Cloud city, although Throne Orfina looked weak, she looked excitedly at the egg placed in front of her!
It was an enormous white oval-shaped egg. Around the egg was a nest made of many strange golden feathers. The surface of the white eggsh.e.l.l faintly glowed with golden patterns, which were lines formed from holy power.
This enormous egg had a remarkably important status among the angels because it was—an angel egg!
All original angels were hatched from angel eggs, and they were angels with pure bloodlines. Unlike artificial angels, original angels had unlimited potential, and each one had the possibility of becoming a top angel.
However, although angels had gender differences, they had no gender reality. In layman terms, male angels actually did not have a p.e.n.i.s, and female angels did not give birth to babies… This was a, um, boring race… The reproduction of angels was different from that of demons. Original angels relied on angel eggs and gradually formed in the eternal holy light of Heaven. This was a strange transformation process and relatively long. Sometimes, this incubation method could not form souls in the angel eggs, causing angels to be unable to be born.
The number of angels had always been very low for this reason. Although the combat power of angels was often stronger than that of demons, it was a big problem that their numbers could not increase. If not for this, Heaven would not have created artificial angels to make up for the lack of numbers in the endless war with demons.
The so-called artificial angels replaced souls with angel cores in flesh bodies, allowing angels to obtain wisdom and knowledge. But such operations could at most form the lowest level angels at best.
In addition to this method of increasing the population of angels, the most used method of angels was another method. It was to obtain n.o.ble souls from the human world and inject them into angel eggs. Angels born this way were actually no different from original angels.
This was also why Heaven paid a lot of attention to collecting n.o.ble souls. The only troublesome thing was that n.o.ble souls were also very rare. Without great wisdom, without sacrifice and dedication, it was impossible for n.o.ble souls to be born.
The greatest source of these souls was the human world, so Heaven had been interacting with humans for so many years, spreading their doctrines and portraying Heaven very beautifully in order to guide people to be kind and increase the chances of n.o.ble souls being born…
The gigantic golden pillar of light in the sky above Cloud City was emitted by this angel egg in front of her. At this moment, the top of the angel egg had already cracked, and the eggsh.e.l.l cracked bit by bit along with the sounds of clicking
The first to appear was a pair of slender, misty light wings, then a second pair, and then a third pair.
A figure exuding holy light stood up from the angel egg. Her eyes were closed, and her hands were spread flat on both sides of her body. The three pairs of light wings behind her stretched out, covering the entire hall, slowly undulating and dancing like waves. After standing up, the dazzling holy light on her body gradually dimmed, and her face slowly became clearer.
And this face was none other than the queen of Erathia, Isabel…
