Athena stayed with the villagers all the time.

Plan the layout, arrange manpower, distribute food, and maintain law and order...... This qiē was extremely strange to her, and it was not helpful at all, but fortunately, Athena did not need to do such a job, because just walking among mortals as an angel would give these humans a great sense of security, and even a not-so-standard smile could make a huge difference.

The villagers looked at her with reverence and trust.

This even made Athena feel embarrassed - because she didn't do anything, she enjoyed the respect of the people for no reason, which made her feel very embarrassed, after all, the high status of the angel race in the hearts of mankind was due to the great merit of the guardian angel who descended on Noren hundreds of years ago to preach and protect the living beings with the first pope, and also from the helping hand extended by the High Heaven when the First Empire was about to collapse and the human race fell into total chaos, and it really had nothing to do with her.

And she felt a little crying and laughing - in the emergency state of emergency that the flood could occur at any time, everyone in the town had the necessary tasks and work, Sigma and Kelly had already left the town, their task was to pick up the people who had fallen behind last night, and the mercenaries in the town also had the task of delivering news, alerting the disaster, maintaining law and order, and distributing supplies...... The people of the village also have their own tasks, the men help set up tents and makeshift houses, the women cook ginger soup and prepare food, the old people take care of the children and the sick, and the clergy of the church go back and forth for treatment, everyone seems to be busy.

And her positioning seems to be ...... Mascot?

Obviously the main battle angel born for war and protection. But to be a mascot at such a time.

If it was his former self, he would have protested angrily or simply picked on his son and quit, and used the brave main battle angel as a vase. It's really insulting and ironic, but for some reason, looking at people's reassuring faces, listening to the giggles of children, feeling the optimism and warmth that still permeates the rainstorm and uprooting, and the unique atmosphere of people helping each other in times of crisis. Athena felt ...... That doesn't seem bad either.

Just like a vase, walking back and forth, reaching out where you need help. Then quietly watch these people who never sit back and wait for help, doing their best to get busy...... This doesn't seem to be a bad feeling.

Although it is a fragile and ordinary life, it can emit a shocking soul light at a critical moment, what an amazing race...... Mankind.

In Athena's heart, there were thoughts that she had never had before.

I've changed a lot...... And I'm convinced. The change is positive. Awesome.

The beautiful face showed a stunning smile, full of divine and warm air.

Recall that after staying in this town for quite a while, I learned a lot and grew a lot, and it was obviously an inconspicuous little place, and there was no impressive big event. But the ordinary things that happened here made the angel feel a lot of valuable realizations...... And very lucky. These feelings, these experiences, and these unforgettable memories are all precious memories created with Sigma.

When this is over, it's time to start a new journey...... We must continue to create more beautiful memories with Sigma, start a more wonderful journey with Sigma, and continue to harvest more valuable treasures.

Whenever she thinks of the future full of infinite possibilities and bright prospects, the regret of being forced to separate from Sigma dilutes a lot, and Athena's mood is so excited, looking forward to Sigma's return.

But the exclamations of the people interrupted her conjecture, and the angel came back to his senses and felt the anomaly of the sky for the first time.

Unlike what Sigma and the others had seen outside the distant town, the scene was undoubtedly even more shocking when they were directly below the super thunderstorm cloud. The dark clouds gradually drooped low, exuding terrifying oppressive power, and the strange and huge shape of the thunderstorm cloud made Athena involuntarily think of the star-swallowing whale mother shuttling through the endless clouds of Jupiter, making her sigh at the infinite power of the Creator.

"I didn't feel hostility, and I didn't feel mental fluctuations, so this strange celestial phenomenon was not man-made......" Athena's eyes flashed with a streamer, and her gaze passed through the thick clouds, probing for possible dangers, and the result made her feel a little relieved, at least she could rule out the possibility of a strong person stirring up a thundercloud storm.

She just wanted to investigate again, but she heard the exclamations and noises that gradually sounded around her, and then, countless eyes were cast on her, and the angel was stunned for a moment, and looked back, the villagers looked at her with uneasiness and horror on their faces, but they couldn't help but look at her expectantly—obviously, in such a sudden and incomprehensible emergency, people regarded her as someone to rely on and ask for help.

At this moment, my heart seemed to be filled with some emotion.

She was also trusted and relied on by the people of Heaven, at that time, she took it for granted, the body of the Holy Flame Generator has a stronger talent and a higher starting point, so it will achieve higher achievements, so it is her natural task and duty to protect the weaker people, to work hard to kill the enemy, protect the people, and defend the heavens, so it is the glory of the warrior, and it is a normal thing.

But today, being relied on by such a group of humans with familiar eyes, for some reason, Athena has a different feeling, and she suddenly has a thought - she wants to protect this group of humble and ordinary humans, this is not from the natural superiority, nor for the glory of being a warrior, but just a respect, a duty to guard.

So she smiled slightly and said softly, "Don't worry, I ......"

Before she finished speaking, Athena suddenly changed color, she looked at the sky with a shocked face, and in the angel's divine perception, the normal thunder element in the clouds, which was originally chaotic, suddenly changed beyond her comprehension!

Suddenly there was a dazzling light in the sky!

Thunder and lightning shone amidst the exclamations of the people. Several people were tossed high by the invisible force, and then fell heavily to the ground, one of whom was already covered in charred black. Blood flowed from his nostrils and mouths, and several others lay on the ground, their eyes cooing and not moving.

In the chaos, someone rushed to treat it, and the children were frightened and cried. In the midst of the chaos, however, Athena stared blankly at the sky, her hands and feet cold - only she could perceive the real situation. That lightning strike just now was just a precursor discharge, and in that endless cloud, there was a terrifying thunder that was a hundred times more powerful!

"Everyone! Hide in the house! Athena exclaimed.

However, it was too late! It was as if he had received an order to attack, as if he had accumulated enough strength. The thunderstorm cloud, which had just maintained a sufficient altitude, pressed down at a breakneck speed. The rapidly swirling clouds stirred the increasingly fierce wind, and even formed a column of rain in the center, pouring down the roaring water like a waterfall falling from the sky!

The low temperature in the cloud condensed the fine water droplets into hail, turned into a dense barrage, and smashed down on the head.

Storms, torrential rains, hail. There are even small tornadoes that are forming.

Almost all celestial disasters can be formed by severe weather in just a few minutes. Pouring out of this strange thunderstorm cloud, it smashed into this innocent town.

The wind swept a qiē that could be rolled, hail constantly smashed on the houses and tents, and the rain column washed over the qi ē that could be washed like a flood from the sky...... What's even more terrifying is that they're slowly getting bigger.

But the most terrifying thing is that the terrifying thunder full of brilliant thunder and lightning power!

"Get out of the way!" Athena put her hands in her hands and slammed out a family of three who were running hard.

The three of them fell out like a gourd on the ground, the man stabilized his figure, first glanced at the child in his arms, and then looked back, only to see that the angel was holding a long sword composed of light in his hand, stabbing into the sky, and suddenly collided with a thunderbolt, the purple thunder and the white holy light blazing duel, and finally the thunder collapsed, and the angel also took a few steps back, his face turned white.

"Lord Angel!" The man subconsciously screamed.

"Let's go!" Athena waved her hand to these three people, but she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, the power of each thunderbolt was terrifying, this thunder just now could even be compared to the power of the high-level mage's full power to cast the lightning technique, a lightning strike of this scale was naturally nothing in her heyday, but she was ...... now

After adjusting her breath, Athena waved the lightsaber in her hand again, sweeping away a roaring hailstorm, the angel vibrated its wings of light, flew in the air, and commanded the villagers to leave the tent and rush to the residential area to the east.

Constantly resisting the meteorological attacks falling from the sky, Athena gradually felt strained, her holy power was suppressed and annihilated by the Angel of Judgment, almost one in a hundred, even if the combat experience and combat instinct were still there, but the insufficient holy power could not withstand the endless consumption, and if it continued like this, after about five or six minutes, the holy power reserve would be reduced to the warning line.

She alone could not protect these people.

Wait a minute...... Maybe with that kind of power, it should be possible......

A faint thought rose from my mind.

Sleeping in Athena's body, it comes from half of the forbidden bloodline, a very repulsive power.

Fallen angels, dark energy.

But as soon as this thought arose, it was immediately rejected by Athena, and in the hearts of the angels, after all, there was a rejection of this forbidden power--how could this prejudice and hostility disappear in a short period of time after the millennial struggle between the angels and the fallen angels, and the wine of hatred brewed by the two sides soaked in countless bloods?

Even Sigma didn't know that the angel hadn't completely let go of his bloodline and new powers.

This is also one of the important reasons why she is reluctant to return to heaven - the main battle angel who is known for his bravery and glory, and the star of hope for the future of heaven, how can such a perfect angel of power calmly display that forbidden bloodline and depraved power in front of the robe entrusted to her by life and death, and in front of the people who admire and trust her incomparably and trust?

It's the same now.

People trust her so much, believe in her, rely on her, but if the holy angel reveals the power of darkness before them, the divine wings of light are dyed black. Let the obscure dark energy replace the holy light, how will they react after witnessing it? I remember what happened at Atlas College. This time, in full view of everyone, what kind of bad impact will it cause if it happens again, and how much trouble will it cause Sigma?

It is foreseeable that once the news of his secret energy is spread, what will happen next.

He will even lead to a complete separation from Sigma.

This must not be allowed to happen......

Athena rejected the idea of using the power of the fallen angels.

It's not my power, and I don't want to use it. Even if it's to save people......

But I don't want to be separated from Sigma, I don't want to cause trouble for Sigma anymore.

So......

"Blue Fury...... I need your help! Please, even if it's only this time. Lend me your power first, I want to protect these people......" Athena called out to the Holy Sword in her heart.

If you don't want to use dark energy, the holy sword is the best choice......

But maybe it was too much consumption last night, or maybe it was something else. Sacred Sword did not respond.

"Still won't work......" the angel sighed.

Slightly disappointed in her heart. At the moment of losing his mind, a thunderbolt quickly slashed down!

Athena was alarmed, but she avoided it, and in the midst of the people's exclamations, the brilliant thunder shattered the holy power of the talisman and slashed the angel out, and the angel struck by the lightning flew out like a fluttering rag doll, even if it flapped its wings weakly. Unable to change the direction of travel, after crashing into several trees in a row. Rolled to the ground.

The ferocious lightning strike almost wiped out the holy power in her body.

Athena felt her hands and feet tingle and sat up barely supportively, but the light wings behind her gradually dimmed.

The pouring rain, the howling storm, and the occasional hailstone, she felt weak, cold and hungry, after the Holy Power was exhausted, the weakened body of the Angel of Judgment was no longer as tireless as before, the weakness of the body could infinitely magnify the helplessness of the soul, Athena covered her body with her wings in the storm, curled up helplessly, and a sense of loneliness and helplessness instantly came to her heart-Sigma, where are you......

But I've done my best, and I've done my best to save the villagers.

They are already only a few hundred meters away from the residential area, they will be helped soon, I have done my best, I just need to be a little patient here, well, bear with me, as long as Sigma finds out about the anomaly here, he will come back to me without hesitation, as long as he is a little patient, he will come......

At this point, Sigma will praise me...... I'm working on it too......

In a daze, it seemed that someone was shouting something.

Is Sigma coming?

In surprise, Athena opened her eyes and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

But at this moment, he was dumbfounded.

What came running in the rainstorm was not the unforgettable familiar figure, but a group of people.

A crowd of people anxiously called, searched, and beamed when they found her.

She knew them, but she didn't know their names.

These are the villagers of Baihe Village, as well as the villagers of other villages, all of whom have just been guided and protected by her, but have not taken refuge in the residential area, but have braved the heavy rain to look for her.

The ordinary and ordinary humans who came to the rescue of the powerful main battle angels.

"I've found an angel! Angel is fine! The people cheered, and someone hurriedly took off the cloak and put it on Athena, but was kicked aside by a big foot: "you, you stink, dare to let the angel use it?" ”

Although the speaker was rough and rude, it was a sturdy woman, and the woman took out a neat new robe from under her own robe and carefully draped it over Athena: "Don't worry, my lord, this robe is new, and it was specially brought to you." And our sisters were brought over by their parents-in-law to take care of you, don't look at me as a woman, I also have a lot of strength, even if I carry you on my back, I can run, those men are rough, and their fingers touch you, which is also blasphemy! ”

Athena was surprised for a long time, and said slowly, "Why are you here?" ”

"How can we not come?" When the woman heard this, her eyes widened, "In order to protect us, you were hit by this thunder, if we ignore it and still run away with our heads covered, are we still human?" ”

Athena looked at the circle of people around her with caring faces, and everyone's expressions were so natural.

The fact that human beings help angels is so normal in the minds of these people.

No one is born to protect others, no one is born to be protected, there is no unilateral charity and receiving, there is just simple watching and helping each other, not giving up on each other, not giving up on any of them...... Companion.

Protected by a group of humans.

The angel shook his head slightly, but a smile appeared on his face.

The woman stepped forward and slowly helped Athena up: "My lord, I'm still carrying you on my back......"

The men around him also coaxed: "Yes, Lord Angel, Susanna's strength is famous far and wide, when we are busy farming here, women should be used as men, but Suzanne can be used directly as livestock!" ”

In this terrible situation, the atmosphere was still a little warmer in the laughter of the people, Athena nodded lightly, and just wanted to speak, but the peripheral eye noticed that a snowy silver snake flashed in the sky.

Unbeknownst to these people, a deadly thunderbolt roared.

Time seems to have slowed down.

A qiē is so abrupt, yet so natural.

It's as smooth as flowing water.

The thought is born from the heart, the law moves with the heart, and the magnificent dark energy breaks through the shackles in her heart in an instant, and in order to protect a group of villagers who want to protect her, a hemispherical dark energy shield is formed.

The darkness was stained with white wings of light.

The blue eyes turned a bewitching purple.

I don't know why, it's like instinct, so I use dark energy.

Why? For the sake of these humans?

How do I know that kind of thing, the body inexplicably reacts without permission.

But...... I didn't even have the slightest thought of regret.

Deliberately not looking at the expressions of the villagers, Athena slowly pushed away the person who was supporting her, stretched her dark wings in the form of a fallen angel, dispelled the whistling rain, and looked up at the sky with lilac eyes.

Left a soft sigh.

Athena turned into a black meteor and whistled towards the swirling thunderstorm clouds. (To be continued......)
