Chapter 2392: Then Declare War! This Isn't Over!
Yang Jian also brought Nightingale and the others in through the hole in the energy barrier!
All the angels in the Sacred Law Star Palace were dead, so there was no need to block the door anymore!
Jiangnan said he would handle it, but Yang Jian never imagined his way of handling it would be so direct!
He gave face to no one!
He was even more shocked by Jiangnan's terrifying strength. Had he really grown to this level in just half a year?
The money wasn't burned for nothing, was it?
But when he heard Jiangnan wanted to go to the Angel Clan's home star domain, Yang Jian was still taken aback.
"Are you sure?"
The Angel Clan wasn't weak; they were surprisingly powerful. After all, they were the Tenth Sequence, with terrifying foundations!
In this sensitive time, five days before the start of the Sequence War, charging into the Angel Clan's home star domain was definitely not a wise choice!
Although Yang Jian had intended to shake the mountain to scare the tiger—otherwise, he wouldn't have told Jiangnan earlier that they might have to face the Sacred Law Council head-on—
He thought what they'd already done at the Sacred Law Star Palace was forceful enough, but he never expected Jiangnan to be far more ruthless than he'd imagined!
Freya bit her lower lip tightly: "I understand how you feel. I'm more outraged about Shirley's death than anyone. But do we really have to do this?"
She couldn't help clenching her fists. Going to the Divine Kingdom meant declaring war!
Declaring war on the Angel Clan, one of the top ten sequences. Racial conflict wasn't child's play! There were too many things to consider, especially in such a sensitive period!
Jiangnan tightened his grip on the Godslayer Blade, a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes!
"What do we have to fear now? We have Star-Devourers, we have people, we hold three major bargaining chips! Is there any need to back down?"
"If we take one step back today, we'll take three steps back tomorrow! Since we're going to be tough, then be tough all the way! Let the ten thousand races of the starry sky see clearly what happens when you mess with humanity!"
"Even if it's the Tenth Sequence, I'll face them head-on! This move also paves the way for the Cosmos Grand Hunt and intimidates all the heroes! It's a good start!"
"If Shirley can see this, then I want her to see what humanity, for which she gave everything, will do for her! I want her to have no regrets!"
Yang Jian took a deep breath. Clearly, Jiangnan wasn't blinded by anger. At this moment, he was more clear-headed than ever!
Seemingly reckless actions were actually the result of careful consideration on many fronts!
There was nothing left to hesitate about!
Just do it!
"I understand! I'll go prepare. Let's make it a big one!"
Jiangnan waved his hand, tearing open a million-meter void in space, revealing the dark dimensional gap!
He led everyone into it, the murderous intent surging from him not diminishing in the slightest!
He turned back and coldly glanced at Tiffany before leaving!
Inside the dimensional gap, Jiangnan and his group rushed straight toward the Angel Clan's home star domain, the Divine Kingdom!
Yang Jian immediately notified all departments: "Activate the Black Jade Plan. All human-occupied planets are to temporarily retreat into the dimensional gap to defend against possible Angel Clan attacks!"
"Also include the Star Project races in the evacuation plan. Prepare everything for war with the Angel Clan!"
Standing atop the head of the Great Might Heavenly Dragon, Jiangnan's eyes churned with killing intent. He turned his head and ordered: "Feiyu, mobilize eighty percent of the Feiyu Insect Swarm's strength, use Dimensional Star Navigation, and send troops to the Divine Kingdom!"
"Form ranks and assemble in the outer region of the kingdom! Come with your true body as well, and be ready to face off against the Kingdom's Lord!"
Chong Feiyu patted her chest, full of confidence!
"Don't worry! I'll take care of it. Remember, the Angel Clan has two Star-Devourers. With the swarm here, even against angels, one versus two is no problem for me!"
Liu Mang swallowed hard. Was a Star-Devourer being deployed directly? To block their gates?
Was the Southern God really going to be this ruthless?
Jiangnan's expression was gloomy, his eyes complex, staring into the dark void, his emotions churning inside!
Shirley was dead... Just like that?
He still couldn't accept this fact!
In his memory, the fragments of the academy exchange competition involving Shirley had been erased!
And because Shirley was by his side, even if Jiangnan didn't remember those things, he still felt a sense of peace.
But now Shirley was dead, never to appear in his life again!
No more new memories would be created!
The image of her in his memory was already blurring, and in reality, she was gone!
What could he use to prove that she had once appeared in his life!
Years later, would he forget her completely, letting everything about her fade away...
To take away the memories of Shirley was one thing, but now even her existence was taken from me!
I'm already this strong! Why can't I still protect everyone around me!
"Angels! Damn you! You deserve to die! You truly damn well deserve to die!"
A low growl emerged from the depths of Jiangnan's throat, the hatred in his eyes even stronger!
Seeing Jiangnan like this, no one dared to speak to comfort him, and Jiangnan didn't need comfort. Only blood could quell the rage in his chest!
But just then, Jiangnan's slightly hoarse voice came through, trembling a little...
"Sister Shanmiao... Lan... Don't die, okay? Live well, please..."
Mountain Cat was taken aback. She didn't know what kind of state of mind Jiangnan was in to say such words...
Perhaps Jiangnan had little contact with Shirley on a daily basis, and they didn't see each other often, but Shirley's death had a huge impact on him!
Mountain Cat didn't speak, just tightly held Jiangnan's hand!
Don't be afraid! It won't happen. Even if you lose the memories, you won't lose me. I will always walk with you, creating more and better memories!
So don't be afraid!
Lan directly rushed over and hugged Jiangnan, refusing to let go.
As time passed, Jiangnan and his group got closer and closer to the Divine Kingdom!
...
At the Sacred Law Star Palace, after Jiangnan and his group left, all that remained was a field of rubble, broken angel eggs everywhere!
The council members of the various races felt a chill in their hearts. Jiangnan was truly ruthless!
He gave no one any face!
If you kill my people, I'll pay you back tenfold or a hundredfold?
Windsor clicked her tongue: (∗͡°̫͡°) "The Angel Clan has really overplayed their hand this time. The Southern God clearly isn't stopping here, is he? The lives of the angels in the Sacred Law Star Palace aren't enough to quell the Southern God's rage?"
"But the Southern God is really daring! To strike against the Tenth Sequence Angel Clan before the Sequence War? Enough guts!"
The Dark Cosmos Entity council member said leisurely:
"The number one daring god of the starry sky. Without guts, you can't become the Fifth Calamity. He's probably headed to the Divine Kingdom. The angels are in for a rough time this time."
"Benefits stir the heart, but you still need to be alive to enjoy them, right~"
He said this with a sly glance at Tiffany!
If the angels hadn't taken some benefit from the Bose race to jump out and trip humanity at such a critical moment and provoke the Fifth Calamity, not even a ghost would believe it!
Otherwise, would the angels be stupid enough to provoke Jiangnan, such a big trouble?
But now Jiangnan's retaliation was too fierce, clearly beyond the scope of the Angel Clan's plan!
A good show was starting. Wonder how the Angel Clan would handle this now!
Races below the top ten sequences watching this scene were overjoyed!
They wished Jiangnan and the Angel Clan would fight to the bitter end, so they could take advantage of the situation and rise up!
At this moment, Tiffany's expression was also extremely ugly. She didn't need to guess where Jiangnan was going!
Because she had also received a direct communication from the Lord of the Divine Kingdom, Lucifer!
Lucifer's voice carried anger!
"This is not what was agreed upon! Humanity has retreated to the dimensional gap again, and Jiangnan is coming to my Divine Kingdom!"
"This was the same when the Northern Crown Disaster happened! Tiffany! This is not the time for the Sacred Law Council to play dead! I don't want a black hole spewing jets appearing in my Divine Kingdom!"
"Don't push my Angel Clan out and then wash your hands of it! The Sacred Law Council needs to stand by my side!"
Tiffany said with annoyance: "Don't panic! I guarantee Jiangnan won't dare to open a black hole and swallow a star. That's the Sacred Law Council's final bottom line! Otherwise, there will be no place for humanity in the starry sky!"
"Besides, wasn't it already said that the Angel Clan might have to pay a small price for this?"
"I just didn't expect Jiangnan to react so violently over the death of an unknown nobody!"
Lucifer said coldly: "I've already sacrificed a whole city of angels! Isn't that price enough?"
"Get your people over here now! Think of a way to send Jiangnan back! Does my Angel Clan have no face to save? The Bose race better keep their promises!"
With that, he hung up the call!
Tiffany sneered. If you want to keep your position as the Tenth Sequence, how can you do it without paying a price?
Did you think being the pawn would be easy? There's no such thing as a free lunch in the world!
Anyway, her goal was achieved. The dead were all angels, and the Bose race suffered no loss!
But Jiangnan going to the Divine Kingdom was indeed troublesome. How far would he go?
At the Lost Kingdom's Black Street Branch, being the largest hub for Dimensional Star Navigation, news naturally spread fast!
Travelers on Black Street were already discussing it!
(ﾟ口ﾟ)ﾂ "Hey hey hey! Did you hear? At the previous Sacred Law Council meeting, humanity clashed with the Angel Clan. I heard there were casualties, and it blew up pretty big!"
(*ﾟﾛﾟ) "Hiss? They fought? Right in the Sacred Law Star Palace?"
(´-﹏-`；) "Not just fighting! Jiangnan got so angry he led his people to storm the Sacred Law Star Palace. Right in front of the Sacred Law Council, he slaughtered every single angel there! Not one left! Egg whites and yolks everywhere in the city! Extremely brutal!"
(ﾉ)͡°3͡°) "I heard the Hidden Spirit Clan council member said one word too many and got slapped in the face by the Southern God on the spot. He's still unconscious! Now the Southern God has already taken his people to the Divine Kingdom to demand an explanation! Humanity has directly gone into the highest level of combat readiness!"
"Tsk tsk tsk~ Truly ruthless! Going this far for a single person's life. Humanity's protectiveness is unmatched! Who would dare to mess with such a race? Let alone the Fifth Calamity..."
At this moment, Prison Bird, who was strolling down the street, suddenly widened his eyes!
With an electric burst of speed, he rushed over and grabbed the guy!
꒰ঌ(°口°๑)໒꒱ "Holy crap, holy crap? What did you say? Did I hear that right? The Southern God slaughtered the angels at the Sacred Law Star Palace? Really?"
The guy shuddered:
(☍﹏⁰。) "Brother... I-I didn't mean to say it in front of you, don't be mad, I..."
Prison Bird said excitedly: ꒰ঌ(〃✧∇✧)໒꒱ "Who's mad? Really? When did it happen? He really killed them all?"
The guy was confused. Why did this angel look excited?
"R-Really! All of them! Not a single one left! Now Jiangnan has already taken his people to the Divine Kingdom to demand an explanation!"
Prison Bird's face turned red with excitement, and he roared to the sky:
꒰ঌ(͡ʘꇴ͡ʘ)໒꒱ "Ahahaha! I knew this day would come! Southern God! My good brother! How can you have such good fortune and not call me? Not cool! He's not cool!"
With that, he flapped his wings and disappeared in an instant!
Yue Li quickly shouted: ↜(⃔っᵒ̴̶̷⌂ᵒ̴̶̷C)⃕ "Hey hey hey! Prison Bird! Where are you going?"
Prison Bird didn't look back: "Going to cheer my brother on and wave the flag! I'm afraid I'll miss the party! Oh right, help me hire a band with a loud voice, a full funeral service package, the top-tier kind! Put it on my tab!"
With that, he flew off, faster than anyone!
Yue Li's forehead beaded with sweat. Hire a band, what the heck? She remembered there was a newly opened Celestial Sound Suona Troupe run by the Celestial Sound Clan in the Lost Kingdom? It was pretty good?
She'd hire them!
The guy was utterly confused:
୧(๑•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "The Southern God is going to kill angels... Why is he so excited?"
Yue Li said with a bitter smile: "Blood Angel... Ha~ You wouldn't understand!"
