Volume I, Chapter 40: Shocking Unreality
"Andrea......" Mick subconsciously groaned.
As soon as that simple name came out, the blue crystal in his hand instantly shone brightly. Mick felt dizzy for a while, and his consciousness seemed to be sucked into the eternal void, causing him to lose consciousness for a moment.
When he woke up again, he was shocked to find that he was already in a strange place. Mick looked around and was instantly shocked by the place.
As far as his eyes could see, there was a sea of holy light, and the thick holy light covered the sky and the sun. Beneath the endless sacredness is a group of palaces, which also seem to be made of light, exuding a raging holy power, extending far away, with no end in sight, and I don't know how vast it is.
On the horizon, swarms of winged angels shuttled back and forth around the palace, like swarms of mosquitoes on a summer evening, densely packed with so many numbers that Mick felt his scalp tingle.
One of the angels suddenly broke away from the group and flew towards Mick. Mick was startled, and instinctively tried to dodge, but the angel was so fast that even the Frozen Calamity Balhaus was far behind.
The angel flew in front of Mick from the sky in an instant, and there was no intention of slowing down.
Seeing that the two were about to collide, Mick hurriedly crouched down and hugged his head. However, it was as if the angel had not seen Mick, like a ray of light, passing through Mick's body without the slightest hindrance.
"Is it an illusion?" Mick looked at in amazement.
Before he could think about it, there was a sudden commotion in the sky. Mick turned his head to look and was stunned to see a special angel.
This angel stands out from the crowd with a radiant spirit. Behind him was full of white wings, dense and innumerable, and each of his wings was much larger than the other angels, the longest wingspan was more than three meters, and the shorter ones were more than two meters, obviously his rank was much higher than the other angels.
The angel flew to the center of the palace and hovered quietly at the top of the palace, and all the low-level angels immediately became orderly, flying slowly around him in groups, gradually centering on him, forming a huge spiral that covered the sky and the sun. From a distance, it looks like the spiral clouds of a typhoon.
The High Angel made a strange voice and spoke a language that Mick didn't understand, a language that was like a beautiful song, very beautiful, and Mick found that the language was very similar to the incantation that Andrea chanted when she used her magic in Norris.
Mick's heart moved, and he rushed towards the high-level angel, his legs glared slightly, and the whole person slowly rose into the air, flying up little by little.
"It's amazing......," Mick sighed in surprise, then threw all the distractions out of his mind and flew straight towards the high-ranking angel.
At this moment, his mind was occupied by Andrea and all kinds of questions.
Andrea is like a huge and infinite mystery, she just came to him, completely changed the course of his life, and then disappeared again, leaving him with endless thoughts and question marks in his head.
He subconsciously thought that now might be the best time to figure out these secrets.
However, as soon as Mick flew out, the high-ranking angel turned into a pure light and instantly shot into the palace below.
In the palace below, dozens of high-level angels flew out, and these angels all had more than one pair of wings behind them, and their surging power far exceeded those ordinary angels who only had one pair of wings.
As soon as the high-ranking angels flew out of the palace, they were immediately covered in holy light, and sets of exquisite battle armors appeared on them, and those battle armors were full of divine power, each of which was incredibly powerful.
The low-level angels in the sky were densely packed with weapons, and they automatically divided into dozens of teams, following the high-level angels to rush to the sky with murderous energy.
The crowded sky became cold and deserted in an instant, and the thick holy light and the palace actually showed a bit of gloom and loneliness.
Mick, who was stunned, slowly came back to his senses and immediately fell towards the palace.
He had only just fallen a dozen meters before he was wrapped in a sudden mysterious force, which was like a turbulent current in the deep sea, pulling Mick down and sinking down.
Mick was horrified and immediately tried to escape, but his struggle made him sink deeper and deeper. He was like a meteor, falling rapidly, and he was about to hit the top of the palace.
Just as he panicked, the scene in front of him suddenly changed, and Mick let out an exclamation and fell to the hard floor. He looked around and found himself in a great hall again.
The holy light of this great hall shone brightly, and the divine breath came to the face. In contrast, the Hagia Sofino is like a dilapidated thatched hut, and placing the statues of the gods in it is a complete blasphemy against the gods.
Mick noticed that the entire hall was actually a huge pyramid-shaped god staircase, and each step was filled with golden angel statues more than three meters high, which were different in appearance and vivid and delicate, as if they were living angels.
Mick opened his mouth wide, slowly stood up, and stepped up the god step by step. With the rigor of a magical alchemist, Mick saw the pattern of these statues almost instantly.
There are only twenty levels in total, and the higher you go, the smaller the area of the god level and the fewer statues there are.
Mick counted the statues and found that there were twenty statues of four-winged angels on the first level, nineteen six-winged angels on the second, and so on.
With each step up, there will be one less statue of an angel, but each angel will have an extra pair of wings behind it.
Mick climbed the stairs and when he reached the nineteenth god step, there were only two statues in front of him, and he was surprised to find that one of them was not the high-ranking angel he had seen earlier.
The guy stood silently in place, as if he was looking at the sky, and the forty white wings behind him hung down quietly, as if the being was really standing in front of Mick.
Isn't this a simple statue, but a powerful and real being?
Mick's heart moved, and he was about to take the final step to see what the statue on the top of the ladder looked like.
Suddenly, one of these statues shattered, and a stream of holy light rose to the sky with strong grievances and unwillingness, directly penetrating the roof of the temple and merging into a sea of holy light in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the statues began to shatter one after another, and the holy light returned to the river of light.
A tragic scene suddenly appeared in front of Mick's eyes, countless angels were on fire in mid-air, and the incredible divine power continued to devour the lives of angels, and every time a high-level angel fell, the statue he left in the main hall would be shattered, and the source of light would return to the river of light.
At this moment, Mick suddenly understood the world.
"Could it be...... It's a ...... Divine War?!" Mick exclaimed, as if he had touched some kind of forbidden word, and the world around him immediately cracked into countless spiderweb-like cracks, and then let out a crisp cracking sound, shattering like a mirror.
Mick's eyes lit up and he immediately returned to his lab.
Stunned, he rubbed the blue crystal unwillingly, and kept calling Andrea's name, but the crystal was safe and did not react at all.
Could it be that because of my current strength, I can only open the seal of this crystal slightly?
Mick was guessing when a sharp pain suddenly came from his chest.
Only then did he realize that the magic array on his body had run to the limit, and the dark red magic light illuminated the entire laboratory, and the huge divine power accumulated in his body, which was about to blow him up.
"Not good!" Mick exclaimed, his face turning very ugly.
