"Heavenly Punishment! Heavenly Punishment! Heavenly Punishment!!!"
When an overwhelming force, equivalent to the power of the sun, descended from the sky, countless Angels involuntarily shouted and cheered.
It fell with a tumultuous crash, consuming endless streams of fire.
Tearing through the iron-like clouds, burning a great hole in the middle, dispelling the chaotic mist that lingered over the scars, boiling forth in all directions.
With an incomparable terrifying might, it smashed towards the rift.
Yet on the ground, the rift suddenly opened wide, like a great mouth, its area instantly expanding dozens of times, like a huge maw, swallowing the day of the Heavenly Punishment within.
The blazing sun plunged into darkness.
Then, silently... vanished without a trace.
As if it had never existed.
The Pope, expressionless, tightened his grip on the Scepter, trying to unleash its power, but no matter how he controlled it, the power of the sun could not break free from its bonds.
As if it had fallen into a prison, unable to stretch its body.
No, it was simply like...
It was grasped?
At that moment, in the dissipating darkness, within the iron Hell, Ji Jue's figure appeared, glancing at his outspread fingers.
A tiny fireball suspended between his fingers.
Again and again, it erupted and clashed, yet unable to escape the Spiritual Hand's control, between the invisible fingers, the grand and vast Destruction had already been turned into a plaything in the palm of his hand.
Unable to break free.
"You came, but why bring anything?"
Ji Jue looked up, glancing at the distant mirage of Sky City, grinning: "Quite enthusiastic."
With that, his fingers clenched, streams of scorching Flame Light surged forth, extending and merging into the Melting Furnace, continually adding heat and power to it, causing the fiery river of molten steel to grow more turbulent and rapid, scattering countless points of Silver Radiance.
Immediately after, from the silver crown above his head, drops of light rose, flying to the scar above, the black cloud on the brink of collapse.
Thunderbolts roared and blinding lightning flashed.
Silver Radiance emerged faintly from the darkness, and in an instant, coated the entire cloud layer with a metallic glow, and suddenly, torrential rain poured.
Falling from the silver clouds was a terrifying rain of metal.
Countless iron fragments formed and gathered in the storm under the forging of Thunderbolt and lightning, transforming into a tempest, sweeping everything away.
Even though the blades and impacts were too insignificant to break through the reinforced armor, and could not cause harm, they behaved like living creatures, instantly melting upon contact, burrowing beneath the skin and pores, re-hardening and reshaping in the flesh, greedily proliferating.
If not careful, rainwater would seep into wounds, growing blood red thorns entwined around bones and internal organs, causing untold Angels to fall in agony.
Yet more Angels rushed forward recklessly.
In the brilliant sound of horns, they charged like a flood, even turning and swooping towards the silver rain cloud, and then, fervently chanting doctrines, exploding with a roar.
They were like walking bombs, their terrifying numbers erasing the rain clouds in the sky at a speed visible to the naked eye.
As the Holy Object bathed them in divine light, in an instant, each fallen Angel would Rebirth from the divine radiance, and with each Self-Destruction, their resonance and connection with the Holy Power grew stronger, more colossal and fierce, exploding even more dramatically!
In just a few seconds, tens of thousands of Angels, held back by the explosions, surged above the scar, diving straight towards the rift on the ground.
Their faces brimming with hysterical fanaticism, fearless, unwavering, their last bits of humanity having vanished under the burning divine glow, even in the final moments of death, singing the holy songs loudly!
The grand and exalted hymns rose and fell, echoing between Heaven and Earth.
Boundless light cascaded like a waterfall, sweeping tumultuously, tearing through the darkness.
It's as if the ultimate battle between good and evil, as told in myth, was descending to Earth; all heretics and sinners would be consumed by the radiant glow, and all sins would face the judgment of the divine.
"Sinners shall die!"
The Angels burning with holy light broke through the storm, charging at the scar on the ground, their momentum grand. In response to them, from within the rift, rose a plethora of colossal cannons...
"Fire at will, no need to aim."
Ji Jue casually waved his hand: "At this scale, hitting anything is inevitable."
The moment the words fell, the colossal cannons in the darkness spewed forth Flame Light, like towering luminous trees growing from the earth.
In an instant, blood-red fireworks exploded across the heavens.
Sky City was not to be outdone, and on the empty sky above, tracks of Holy Seals appeared in the blink of an eye, from which myriad beams of light shot forth.
Under the constantly bursting light, everything was overshadowed by its dimness.
Only strands of scorching red traces extended between heaven and earth like iron wires, entwined, colliding, annihilating each other or brushing past, falling into the distance.
Ji Jue waved his hand again, causing the holy light that fell into the Border Prison to all crash into the void, dissipating.
Yet this time, its power was not seized, after dispersing, it flowed to other Angels, enhancing them once more, even crossing great distances to return to the divine radiance after an Angel perished.
