Chapter 43: Annexation
Demon...... The Majin ......" Michael lifted his bloody face, clenched the sword of the Seven Punishments, and struggled to his feet. "I want to ......"
"Since Huo Huo wants to die like this, Uncle Ben will fulfill you." Yihao defied the scarred archangel, and new hatred and old hatred welled up in his heart. At this moment, he already has the strength to fight on an equal footing with Michael, not to mention the state of the other party at the end of the crossbow.
"Stop, Yihao has no need to fight." Tielan stood in front of Yihao and spread out his hands towards Michael as if he had no hostile intentions. "Listen to me, Archangel Yihao promised me that I would not continue to destroy the Celestial Realm, so the battle is over...... Although it is impossible to let each other's grievances go down the drain, even if you continue to fight, you will not get anything, please put down your weapons and hostility, archangel, if you are here to usher in ruin, who will guide the young angels who are left behind? β
Tielan's earnest words made Michael look dazed, and he looked at the woman in front of him in confusion, really unable to figure out what reason she had to help the Heavenly Realm.
"I think it's better for this guy to die." At this time, Yihao next to him interjected.
"Yihao ......" Tielan turned her head to her lover with a condemning look.
"Okay, if I don't speak, I'll leave it to Sister Tielan to decide." Yihao shrugged his shoulders and stepped aside.
"As you can see, Archangel Yihao will not continue to destroy the Heavenly Realm. Even if you don't believe me, put away your weapons, at least for now, there is more urgency than fighting. Tielan's gaze rested on the floating islands around her. At this moment, the space at the top of the Heavenly Realm was already in a state of instability, and the ominous dark red was spreading across the sky like a mold. If it incurs the invasion of the plane storm, I am afraid that except for the things protected in the "Burial God Realm", which can be safe and sound, the other qiΔ will not be able to escape the fate of destroying MiΓ¨.
"Why......" looked at the young angels on the floating islands around them with panicked expressions, and Michael squirmed his lips and leaked a weak voice. Why help us? β
"Those children are innocent, and they should not be involved in the war. And......" Tie Lan said lightly, her gaze moved to Yihao next to her. "I don't want to see my husband's hands stained with the blood of innocents."
"Thou ...... What you say is not a fake, even if it is......" Michael watched with difficulty as Tielan let go of his hand and let the Seven Punishments Sword fall to the ground.
Look at the appearance of the archangel to lift the hostility. Tiran breathed a sigh of relief, but Michael's next move was completely unexpected.
Before Tielan could react, Michael suddenly knelt down and bowed his head to her, the three pairs of wings behind him showed an extremely deferential gesture, but his voice was extremely painful.
"I beseech you! I beseech you for your kindness. Save the innocent young son! I beg you to redeem with your mercy and walk towards the ruined people! β
Michael picked up the Seven Punishment Sword in both hands, bowed his head, and respectfully presented it to Tielan and swore an oath.
"If you can fulfill your promise, I will dedicate this body to you, and from now on I will become the blade of your loyalty, and I will slay away evil for you! If...... If there is any doubt about my oath. Please take my life with this sword, and I will use this as a proof of loyalty! β
The haughty archangel would pledge allegiance to a mortal, something even the wildest imagination could have imagined. Now it is very real in front of Tierandi's eyes. Although the person concerned was at a loss for a while, Yihao, who was watching from the sidelines, also showed a look of surprise that could not be concealed.
(Is it a ruse?) This was Yihao's initial knee-jerk reaction, but upon closer inspection of Michael's expression, he couldn't find any suspicious elements in the scarred archangel.
οΌβ¦β¦ Hey, it can't be true, right? It's a more unbelievable possibility than a trick. Yihao thought hard for a moment, and finally couldn't help but laugh dumbly. (I see, Michael was in a hurry to find an object of faith after being abandoned by Pandora, what a hopeless servile instinct...... οΌ
Although Yihao's explanation is close to the truth, there is too much bias and malice in it. It is certainly the nature of angels to affirm their own worth through the existence of the object of faith, but Michael would abandon the pride of the archangel and submit to the knees of a mortal, and above all out of hope in exchange for the salvation of the angelsβhaving said that, no one can be the object of his oath of allegiance. Tielan's mercy for his enemies, and his strength in not showing weakness even in the face of demons, and most importantly, Michael felt a familiar aura in Tielan's body. It was an aura that only angels could trust, enough to prove that the woman and the angel clan in front of them were not completely uncaused.
All of the above factors were superimposed, and Michael would be willing to pay allegiance to Tieranfu, even if the subject was not prepared for this at all.
"Uh......" Tielan looked at Michael who knelt down in front of him in confusion, and looked at Yihao as if asking for help.
"It's better to accept it, sister. As far as the result is concerned, you did save the angels, this guy is willing to swear loyalty......" Yihao's voice and expression fully showed a sense of schadenfreude. "But then again, the archangel gave in to mortals...... Hehe, it should be the first time since the beginning of the world, right? β
Michael turned a deaf ear to Yihao's taunts, and just kept a deferential posture and waited for Tielan's response.
ββ¦β¦ Okay, I see. Tielan reached out and picked up the Seven Punishment Sword, and at the same time helped the kneeling archangel up. I promised Yihao to take care of the angels, please help me in the future. β
"Yes, subordinates must ...... Not! Michael showed a grateful expression and bowed his head to Tielan in response, but suddenly a knife slashed at the back of his head, and the archangel who was already at the end of the crossbow snorted and was instantly knocked unconscious.
"Don't touch other people's wives casually and molest angels." It was naturally Yihao who knocked Michael unconscious, on the one hand, he really didn't want to see Tielan treat Michael kindly, and on the other hand, it was indeed necessary for the archangel to leave the scene temporarily, because if Michael remained sober. What he was going to do next would probably provoke his desperate resistance.
"Hey, come here and help me move this guy and the wounded over there to the boat." Yihao beckoned to the purgatory-like crew members hiding in the distance, asking them to help carry Michael and Chiyou to the boat. "It doesn't matter where the one in front of you is thrown. But the back is careful for me! If Uncle Ben's demon loses a single hair, he will kick you into the surface storm! β
"Yes...... Be! β
The cloth was ordered by the Destruction Demon, the originator of alchemy, and Erica also openly admitted that the identity of the supreme commander of the Yihao Guild was the most important person, and the crew members naturally did not dare to slack off in the slightest. The archangel and the god of eternal ferocity were carefully moved to the purgatory. Tielan though
Deter. But he couldn't help but show a confused look.
"Yihao, you are ......"
"It's a necessary measure! Sister Tielan. It seems that in order to suppress the smile, Yihao covered the corners of his mouth with his hands, but those black eyes radiated an unprecedented evil light, which made Tielan feel strongly uneasy for no reason. As I said earlier, the entire structure of the Celestial Realm has collapsed due to the destruction of the first to eighth layers of Earthspace. The remnants of the ninth layer alone can't withstand the invasion of the plane storm, so even if I stop and ignore it, it will only be a matter of time before the final space collapses...... Well, although I was planning to save some angels before the space collapsed at first, I have a better idea now for the farce I just had. β
"Better ...... Idea? Tielan repeated with difficulty. Yihao's face showed an evil look like a cat playing with its prey. It was hard for her to believe that it was a simple "good idea".
"Yes, it's a good idea to save the ninth heavenly realm along with the remnants of the angels." Yihao laughed heartily. "But Michael probably wouldn't agree. So I'll just let him sleep for a while, right? β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Under the guidance of the originator of alchemy, the crew of the boat carried out simple emergency repairs to the fallen Purgatory One, barely recovering the cruising function.
Relying on Yihao's help, Purgatory One carried everyone through the plane storm, and jumped to the plane where the mortal world was located at the moment before the gate of the heavenly realm collapsed. That is, over the Atlantic Ocean. And the demon army led by Satan has just withdrawn here not long ago. After several days of fierce fighting, and finally risking their lives, these demons who don't know what to fear have also reached their limits one by one, and it seems that it will be impossible to regroup in a short time.
Yihao made the Purgatory One directly moored directly on the deck of the Killing Ark "Gramm", where Satan was waiting for Yihao. Although the king of hell seemed to have a lot to complain about, Yihao preemptively threw Michael to him first, and then ignored the stunned demon king and ordered Gram to sail to Penglai, where Shenzhou was located, as quickly as possible.
As the last work of the demon Dakris, the performance of the Killing Ark left other mass products far behind, and the distance from the Atlantic Ocean to Shenzhou was only a short time of incense at the cruising state of the highest sixth. In the impression of the people of Penglai, this dark magic ark has been regarded as the imperial ship of the young emperor of Penglai, so when Gram broke into Penglai with a fierce force, it was not hindered in any way - despite this, the return of the young emperor was an extremely important thing for Penglai, and when the Phoenix clan in charge of guarding it reported to the elders in a panic, Yihao had already led everyone all the way through the Vermilion Bird Collar, and finally Gram landed in the hinterland close to the Imperial Dragon Domain.
And not far in front of him is the place where a certain god sleeps, and it is also a forbidden place in the forbidden land of Penglai.
"For the sake of my precious daughter's face, good son-in-law, you can tell me what are you going to do, right? Which? Which! β
Satan, who is entangled in Yihao's side, fully expresses the appearance of a poor man tormented by curiosity.
"Didn't I say that earlier? Of course, it's to save the heavenly realm, otherwise what are you doing with this thing? β
Yihao waved his hand in annoyance, holding a thumb-sized ball of light in his other hand.
"That's why I want to ask you what the hell are you going to do with this thing!"
Of course, Satan knew that it was the most important core hub for maintaining the existence of the heavenly realm, but he didn't know what Yihao was doing with it.
"Well, you'll find out later...... Ah, is it already here? Yi Hao's gaze turned to the sky, and the light spots were fast, from far and near, and he could quickly identify them as several elders of the Four Divine Clans and the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox from the Young Emperor's Palace.
"Lang Jun, you're back!" omitting the action of landing, Jing Yu threw herself directly into her lover's arms, while several elders landed behind her a little later.
"Welcome back the Young Emperor!" Elder Rixi of the Phoenix Clan, Elder Jumang of the Shenmu Clan, and Elder Martyr of the Shengong Clan all saluted and greeted Yihao. Behind them were Youfeng's Huang Yin and the fourth-generation Shenmu Shangyi, although the status of the two young emperors' assistants had not yet been officially appointed by Yihao, but driven by a certain subtle mentality, the elders still brought them over.
"Elders don't have to be polite." Yihao waved his hand. "Elder Jumang, the Shenmu clan is good at the Yellow Technique, there are two wounded people in the Ark, and the injuries are severe, I don't know if I can drive the elder to go for treatment?"
"Since it is the order of the prince, it is naturally incumbent on him." Elder Jumang waved his hand, and immediately turned into a streamer of light and escaped into the magic guide ark.
"Elder Martyr Penglai has a total of five territories so far, right?" After placing Chiyou and Michael, Yihao turned to the elders of the Shengong clan who were in charge of managing Penglai to confirm.
"Yes...... Yes, the Suzaku Collar in the South, the Xuanwu Collar in the North, the Green Dragon Collar in the East, the White Tiger Collar in the West, and the Imperial Dragon Collar in the center. The Elder Martyr replied respectfully, but she looked uncertain.
"Yes, if I say ......," Yihao pulled a raised arc at the corner of his mouth. From now on, Penglai wants to add another area, what do you think? β
Satan looked thoughtful when he heard this, but everyone but him looked dazed.
"Zijun means ......" Elder Martyr tried to guess what Yihao meant. Is it a re-division of the original five territories? But ...... in this case"
"That's not right!" Yihao interrupted her. "That kind of thing doesn't make any sense at all, I want to add another area to the original five areas. In other words, it means to open up territory for Penglai. β
"Open...... Is there such a thing as a frontier...... Can it really be done......" The Elder Martyr looked confused. Penglai is a divine land that has existed since the beginning of heaven and earth, and its existence is between the mortal world and the parallel plane, and the vastness of its space is immeasurable, so the theory of "opening up the territory" cannot be established.
"Of course you can do it!" Yihao raised the ball of light in his hand as a gesture and announced in a raised voice. "This thing...... Well, it doesn't hurt to think of it as the trophy of this time, it is the core of the heavenly realm, and it is also the hub for the heavenly realm to survive. As long as it is integrated into the leyline of Penglai, the celestial realm will become the existence of Penglai, and in the future, Penglai will have a new territory called 'Heavenly Realm' in addition to the original five territories...... The so-called 'expanding territory' is also the meaning of this is the meaning of a little understanding? β
Yihao's gaze swept over everyone, only to see that everyone, including Satan of the Demon King of Hell, looked at him dumbfounded.
