**Chapter 2393: Lord of the Heavenly Kingdom, Lucifer**
The home star domain of the Angel Race, the Divine Heavenly Kingdom!
As the tenth-ranked sequence, even if it was the bottom of the top ten, the territory of the Divine Heavenly Kingdom was still extremely vast!
It was rich in cultivation resources and had been fully developed across its entire domain!
Unlike humanity, which was still fully developing the Milky Way Galaxy!
In the Divine Heavenly Kingdom, all galaxies had angels living and thriving among them!
And the capital of the domain was the Heavenly Kingdom Galaxy at the very center!
Looking out, white nebulae drifted everywhere between the galaxies, golden holy light was sprinkled everywhere!
Above the galaxy, golden harps and horn phantoms stood permanently, and the heavenly hymns echoed through the sea of stars like celestial music!
It truly gave people a feeling of a pure paradise!
At this moment, outside the Divine Heavenly Kingdom, billions of Angel Judgment Troops were arrayed neatly along the star domain border, standing at attention!
Countless guardian angel phantoms joined hands together, forming a massive protective wall!
Behind them were nine war fortresses shaped like holy swords. The size of a single war fortress made an ordinary star look like a soybean before it!
And standing at the front of the formation was the High Priest of the Divine Heavenly Kingdom, He Ye!
Clad in a set of golden battle armor, holding the Judgment Cross Sword, his gaze coldly looked toward the void!
Such a military formation clearly indicated that the Angel Race had also entered a wartime state!
"Rumble!"
Outside the star domain border, the void was ruthlessly torn apart by a pair of dark golden dragon claws!
The boundless and enormous Mighty Heavenly Dragon squeezed out from the dimensional gap!
It appeared in its complete form, its dark golden dragon eyes coldly sweeping over the Angel military formation!
With Jiangnan's current level of Transcendent Phase Six, he could fully afford to have the Mighty Heavenly Dragon fight in space, and he could even summon two or three more and still handle it!
Jiangnan simply stood with his hands behind his back on the dragon's head, looking at the billions of Angel Judgment Troops, a hint of disdain in his eyes!
However, this kind of momentum made Liu Mang and Martin's mouths twitch!
No wonder they were an old powerful race, a top ten sequence! They could casually produce a billion-strong army!
This was all thanks to the Angel Race's huge population base. Currently, humanity did not have a Spirit Martial Force of this scale!
He Ye's face was grim. So he had come to their doorstep after all, hadn't he?
Before Jiangnan even spoke, He Ye opened his mouth!
"Human! Do not take another half step forward! Ahead is the star domain border of my Angel Race's Divine Heavenly Kingdom! If you go any further, my Angel Race will consider humanity as publicly challenging our divine authority!"
"This is equivalent to declaring war on my Angel Race! Do not throw an egg against a rock or be arrogantly ignorant!"
"When you do things, you need to bear the consequences! Now! I order you to retreat beyond my line of sight!"
As he spoke, he viciously slammed the Judgment Cross Sword in his hand against the ground, producing a "clang" sound!
At the same time, the billion-strong Angel Judgment Troops all thrust their swords, producing "clang! clang! clang!" sounds in perfect unison!
All the Angel troops spoke in unison!
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"
The war cry turned into a torrent, rushing straight into the boundless sea of stars in the form of energy!
Jiangnan and his group were drowned by the series of "retreat" shouts, unable to hear anything else!
Yang Jian gritted his teeth. So being numerous meant being awesome? What was all this yelling about?
Jiangnan sneered. A competition to see who had the loudest voice, was it?
"Mighty Heavenly Dragon!"
As he spoke, he stomped hard on the dragon's head of the Mighty Heavenly Dragon!
The Mighty Heavenly Dragon opened its bloody mouth and roared toward the starry sky!
A Dragon King's roar! Shaking the earth and stirring the stars!
"Roooar!!!"
The soaring dragon roar echoed through the starry sky, even suppressing the collective roar of the Angel army, triggering spatial tremors!
The dragon roar dominated the starry sky, striking back with absolute force!
He Ye's face was grim. He raised his hand and clenched it, and the Angel army stopped its war cry!
Then he spoke: "Jiangnan! Leave some leeway for others, so you can meet again in the future! This matter was originally humanity's fault. Because my Angel Race did not agree to humanity's application, you harbored resentment and killed my angels!"
"My angels were merely acting in self-defense, yet you slaughtered all my Angel clansmen within the Holy Law Star Palace! And now you have come all the way to my Divine Heavenly Kingdom?"
"Do you really think my Angel Race is a race that can be bullied by anyone? Declaring war on my Angel Race? Is humanity ready for that? Huh?"
Jiangnan sneered: "You're full of shit! You know exactly what really happened! Don't try to play the blame-shifting game now. You know damn well who deliberately picked a fight with me!"
"The other sequences are all lying low, but your Angel Race just had to show off, didn't you? I came today to settle accounts with you!"
"Three angels made the move! I've already chopped down Yargo. There are still Sachell and Erdius! Hand over those two bastard birdmen! Let me execute them publicly, an eye for an eye! Then this matter will be considered settled!"
"Otherwise, I will fight until you hand them over! There is absolutely no room for compromise! You can also consider it as humanity declaring war on the Angel Race!"
Jiangnan's words were like nails, resounding and forceful!
He would make everyone involved die a miserable death. Jiangnan meant what he said. The first ones he wanted to kill were those three angels who had picked the fight!
He Ye squinted. Hand over Sachell and Erdius? How could that be!
If they actually handed them over and let Jiangnan publicly execute angels while the Divine Heavenly Kingdom did nothing, then what face would the Angel Race have left? Did they not want their dignity anymore?
It would freeze the hearts of all Angel clansmen. That would be a racial shame!
As the tenth sequence, if they couldn't even protect two of their own kind, what was the point of existing?
He Ye let out a sneer: "Just give up on that idea! The Angel Race will absolutely never hand them over! Declaring war on my Angel Race? Does humanity even have the qualifications?"
"Any random formation from my Angel Divine Legion has a larger population than your total humanity! Declaring war? What would you use to fight it?"
"Just with these few dozen people of yours? Stop making a fool of yourselves here! Retreat quickly. It would be a good choice for both you and me!"
Jiangnan sneered: "A bunch of rotten fish and shrimps, a mob—since when does that count as combat power?"
"You want to compare numbers? Do I fear that? Chong Feiyu!"
The next moment, the large expanse of void behind Jiangnan was torn open like a tattered cloth!
Tens of thousands of void holes expanded, and a sea of Feiyu Insect Swarms surged out from the dimensional gap!
There were tens of billions, hundreds of billions of insect swarms, numbering in the trillions!
Different types of insect soldiers worked in division of labor—huge cannon bugs, suicide bugs, energy bugs, tank shield bugs, and too many more!
There were even giant whale bugs pulling hundreds of war sub-nests onto the field, the nests shaped like huge skulls!
Chong Feiyu's main body stood atop a skull insect nest, her hands behind her back!
Behind her followed the Yao Mi Insect Swarm, rolling like dense smoke!
Chong Feiyu shouted delicately: "Feiyu Insect Swarm! Full formation! Insect Chant battle formation!"
Countless insect swarms began to organize in perfect synchronization, densely packed, blotted out the starlight!
The entire Feiyu Insect Swarm vibrated their wings and chirped, pressing down toward the Divine Heavenly Kingdom like a mountain flood and tsunami!
The Angel army's faces turned pale. Damn! So many?
Their entire formation didn't even amount to a fraction of the insects!
He Ye frowned deeply, his expression grim!
He had forgotten this detail. Humanity had a Star-Devouring Insect Queen seated among them. No one was willing to fight against an insect swarm!
Killing couldn't keep up with their reproduction!
A Star-Devouring Insect Queen represented almost infinite soldiers—charging into battle, fearless, absolutely obedient!
Moreover, Chong Feiyu's own strength was not weak!
In racial warfare, the existence of a Star-Devouring Insect Queen was absolutely not to be ignored!
At this moment, the deterrent power of the Feiyu Insect Emperor was perfectly displayed!
The soaring morale of the Angel side was directly suppressed by the appearance of the Feiyu Insect Swarm!
Instead, Liu Mang and Martin were invigorated, a full sense of security rising in their chests!
Humanity indeed did not have a massive Spirit Martial Force, but when it came to numbers, they lost to no one!
So this was the confidence of having a Star-Devouring big shot at home? And an Insect Emperor at that?
Jiangnan's expression was cold: "Do I have the qualifications now? Who is it that doesn't have the qualifications? All of humanity's stationed planets have already retreated into the dimensional gap. Your Angel Race has nothing to attack!"
"Humanity has both manpower and a Star-Devourer. Through the dimensional gap, humanity's offensive forces can appear at any corner of your Divine Heavenly Kingdom at will! We can attack and defend as we please!"
"I can destroy every planet I want to destroy. Your Angel Race cannot defend against it! What you call defense is worthless in my eyes!"
"Before my patience is completely exhausted! Before this blade aimed at your Angel Race falls! I will give you one last chance! Those two bastard birdmen—will you hand them over or not!"
"The lives of two angels! And the peace of your Divine Heavenly Kingdom! Choose one!"
He Ye gritted his teeth: "I already said, the Angel Race will absolutely never hand them over! You are trampling on my race's—"
Jiangnan roared: "Shut up! I'm tired of your barking! What right do you have to babble here? Find someone who has the authority to speak!"
"Where is the Lord of the Heavenly Kingdom? What, now you know how to be a turtle with its head tucked in? You were jumping around pretty happily when you were picking a fight, weren't you?"
"Now I'm standing right here! Don't you even dare to show your face?"
As Jiangnan's words fell, a beam of light converged above the Divine Heavenly Kingdom!
Long golden hair fluttering, a curvaceous figure, facial features like the most perfect work of the creator, without any flaws!
Clearly female in form, a pure white halo above her head, holding an Angel Scepter, behind her pure white wings spread wide, countless light feathers falling!
Holy and flawless, noble and elegant!
A pair of bare feet treading on the void. With her appearance, the holy light of the entire Divine Heavenly Kingdom grew brighter, and the heavenly hymns became more melodious!
Countless angels' gazes fell upon her, their eyes full of admiration and adoration!
A soft female voice came from her mouth!
"You called for me, and I have come. No matter who is right or wrong in this matter, I do not want it to continue escalating!"
"The Angel Race can agree to humanity's participation application. Isn't that enough? Please do not cause more casualties. Life should be revered. Revenge only breeds more revenge—when will it end?"
Yang Jian said in a low voice: "The Lord of the Heavenly Kingdom, Lucifer. A fairly powerful Star-Devourer."
Jiangnan squinted. Life should be revered? Why didn't they say that when the angels went to Blue Star to slaughter humans? Why didn't they say that when they captured slave races and played with them at will?
Why didn't they say that when they killed Shirley?
A bunch of hypocrites!
"Whether humanity participates or not—when did it ever need your Angel Race's consent? Don't try to twist the concept here!"
"I'll ask you one thing! Those two bastard angels! Will you hand them over or not! My patience is completely exhausted!"
PS: Tomorrow morning I'm going to have my wisdom tooth pulled. It's been hurting for a week. I can't stand it anymore. The afternoon chapter might be a bit late. I'll try my best to make it. I'll let you know in advance.
(°～°〃) Toothache oh~
