Chapter 1656: Chapter 1106: Just the Right Time
As the Crystal Dome shattered into pieces in the flames of destruction, all the angels screamed and then completely vanished—after all, the Crystal Dome was their source of existence. Once the Crystal Dome is destroyed, all the angels perish.
Thus, the farce initiated by the angels came to an end, congratulations were in order... originally, it should have been like this.
"What’s going on?"
Back in the Royal City, looking at the battlefield in front of him filled with smoke and fire, he was completely dumbfounded.
The angels are done for, what’s the point of continuing to fight?
"Teacher, you’re finally back!"
Seeing Duanmu Huai return, Huang’zen Kumiko and the others hurriedly ran over.
"What exactly happened? Those angels disappeared all of a sudden..."
"Oh, it’s nothing, I took care of those idiots. By the way, what’s happening here?"
"This..."
Facing Duanmu Huai’s inquiry, Huang’zen Kumiko wore a bitter expression and started to describe the situation to Duanmu Huai.
According to Huang’zen Kumiko, during the angels’ attack on the Royal City, a group calling themselves the "Rebel Army" suddenly appeared. They claimed that the current King was tyrannical and oppressive, which displeased the Deities, prompting them to send angels to the human world for punishment. Therefore, by overthrowing the Royal Family and sacrificing the King to the Deities, they could calm the Deities’ anger...
For Huang’zen Kumiko and other modern people, belief in such things is limited to visits on New Year’s Eve and drawing lots for luck, so they completely couldn’t understand the rebels’ logic. However, to the students’ surprise, many citizens and soldiers believed this rhetoric, directly defecting and attempting to attack the Royal Palace. They saw anyone who stopped them as accomplices of the Tyrant, and as "Heroes," the students were naturally also recruited by this group.
Of course, they directly refused! From the students’ perspective, are you insane? At a time like this, shouldn’t you be fleeing for your life instead of trying to do anything else?
Yet, the rebels still attacked directly!!
This left the students in a bind. Although they had been through the baptism of Bastion Fortress and had dealt with many demons and Demons, now they were facing human soldiers, and even many civilians. What exactly were these people charging forward with weapons without fear of death for?
Therefore, the students were also tied up, not daring to take excessive actions. And because the battle was in the city, Mary couldn’t possibly have the Titan fire a shot below—doing so would completely obliterate the entire Royal City.
Incidentally, the angels didn’t care whether you supported or opposed the King; they killed any humans they saw.
Seeing the unfavorable situation, the King and others hurriedly retreated. They didn’t go to the Royal Palace but ran to the Tribunal’s territory—who would dare risk death in the presence of such a massive metal statue?
As it turned out, no one dared.
Quickly, those loyal to the King and ordinary citizens were evacuated to this area, while the Rebel Army wreaked havoc.
Later, the angels attacking the city suddenly disappeared for no reason, but would the Rebel Army lay down their weapons and surrender—was it possible?
Nonsense, they had outright stated they wanted to overthrow the King, and in ancient times, that was a crime punishable by death and the extermination of nine generations. Did you think they would simply stop killing and find peace?
There was nothing to be done but to bravely forge ahead.
With the angel threat gone, the King regained his composure, sending troops to begin suppressing the Rebel Army.
This is why Duanmu Huai returned to find the place in such chaos.
By the way, Mary prevented the students from getting involved in this brawl under the pretext that "The Tribunal does not interfere in human disputes." The students were relieved, as they were unwilling to fight unarmed civilians, especially considering that some of those people had previously cheered for them during marches, only to now turn on them as if they had an unending vendetta.
"Brave Lord!"
At this moment, Duanmu Huai saw the King and Princess Lilliana approaching, looking at him with unease, while the Old Pope bowed his head silently.
"What’s going on? Why did the angels...? I don’t understand, did I do something wrong?"
"Oh, that’s a long story..."
Duanmu Huai didn’t intend to hide anything and led the King and students into the Titan, which had reverted to a church, and explained the situation in the conference room, including the effect the Worldstone had on humans, how he destroyed the Worldstone, and the angels’ fear that humans would gradually regain power to match themselves and demons, prompting their attempt to eliminate them completely...
It must be said that after hearing Duanmu Huai’s account, everyone present was stunned, speechless. The Outsiders like Huang’zen Kumiko were understandable, but for the King, Princess Lilliana, and other locals, these revelations completely overturned their beliefs. They had always believed in the Holy Light and regarded angels as the Guardians of humanity.
Little did they expect that this was how angels viewed humanity.
"So, now... the angels..."
"Oh, you don’t need to worry about that anymore."
Duanmu Huai waved his hand.
"I’ve already destroyed the Crystal Dome, all angels are extinct, and there will be no more angels from now on."
"What!?"
Upon hearing this, the King was stunned, and the Old Pope even jumped up directly.
