Chapter 1477: Flesh and Blood Wings
This altar was only about the size of a pond. Compared with the massive stone blocks stretching hundreds of meters around it and the Ancestral God statues rising hundreds of meters high, it was truly insignificant. But for some inexplicable reason, the moment they saw this empty altar, the group found it impossible to look away.
The sides of the altar were carved with countless mysterious patterns, though ages of wear had rendered them indecipherable. Several tall stone pillars stood behind the altar, like a curtain, or like the back of a divine throne reaching into the clouds.
"What's this thing? Why are all the Ancestral God statues looking at it?" Nezha ran his hand across the altar's surface but found nothing unusual.
"Judging from the general layout of divine kingdoms, the one that all gods would cluster around in the center would be the divine king of that kingdom... But wasn't it said that in the Ancestral God myths there is no distinction between Supreme God and Lesser God? Could there be a concept of divine king here as well?"
"...Probably not." Lingbao Tianzun pondered seriously for a moment. "All Ancestral Gods were born from natural evolution, with no rank or order among them, so there is no concept of a divine king. What was originally here,贫道 cannot guess."
"Look, there's a small groove here."
Guangchengzi, standing at the very front, seemed to have discovered something, his eyes slightly narrowing.
The group heard this and turned to look simultaneously. At the edge of the altar, there was a slight depression, about the size of three thumbnail, as if something had once been placed there.
"This was probably used in ancient times as a key to open this Ancestral God Temple, but after so many long years, it's long been lost." Lingbao Tianzun shook his head.
Lin Qiye leaned close to the depression, his eyes carefully studying it, as if contemplating something.
For some reason, looking at the outline of this depression, he felt faintly familiar...
Wait!
An idea suddenly flashed through Lin Qiye's mind. He reached into his arms and a pale blue coin appeared in his palm.
【The Never-Stopping Star Coin】.
If Lin Qiye remembered correctly, the records in the 【King's Treasury】 stated that 【The Never-Stopping Star Coin】 was discovered by the heroic king Gilgamesh while exploring a decaying ancient ruin, on a divine altar.
Decaying ancient ruin, divine altar, similar depressions... everything matched the current scene perfectly.
Lin Qiye placed the coin on the groove and gently nudged it. An invisible force pushed the coin, causing it to spin slowly within the groove!
Whrrr--!!
A low rumble echoed from beneath the altar, and the ground beneath everyone's feet suddenly trembled!
...
Mist.
Two figures, one golden and one black, shot across the equator like shooting stars.
Realms with entirely different auras split the dead sky into two sections. The Supreme God's presence swept through like a tidal wave, causing heaven and earth to change color!
The two Six-Winged Seraph figures each stood within their own realms. The sacred and the fallen, like light and darkness, rapidly evaporated and twisted at the boundary, nearly melting space itself.
"You cannot defeat me, Lucifer."
Michael gripped the golden holy sword, his golden sun-like blazing eyes gazing at the浑身伤痕累累的Lucifer. "Though I cannot kill you, I will seal you again for a century... This time, you will not get another chance to escape."
Lucifer reached out to wipe away a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth, his expression dark as can be.
From Mount Olympus onward, these two had been locked in continuous battle. In these four days of non-stop fighting, Lucifer had almost never gained the upper hand. Michael was like a perfect angel with no weaknesses whatsoever. No matter how Lucifer struck, Michael always had the edge.
Everything was exactly the same as that battle when the Western Holy Sovereign ascended to the Moon.
Lucifer had thought that after so many years of patience and accumulation, his strength had improved. He was confident that when facing Michael again, he could wash away all the shame of the past... But he never would have expected that the outcome hadn't changed at all.
"Don't celebrate too early." The black six wings slowly flapped. Lucifer gripped the slender black sword in his hand and said coldly, "I told you... this time, I will not be defeated."
As Lucifer's words fell, the surrounding fallen realm seemed to boil. It twisted violently!
The slowly flapping six black wings suddenly halted. Then, from the base of Lucifer's spine, beneath the final pair of wings, something began to writhe. A bone-grinding, flesh-tearing sound clearly echoed through the sky.
Upon hearing this sound, Michael's gaze hardened.
He caught a familiar scent...
Lucifer's spine tip writhed violently. A肉眼可见的血瘤like a balloon being inflated, rapidly expanded. As a crack burst open from the center of the肉瘤, blood splattered everywhere, and a pair of dark crimson wings slowly unfurled beneath the six black wings!
If one looked closely, one could clearly see countless血瘤crawling grotesquely across that pair of dark crimson wings. Countless insect eyes and裂嘴moved frantically across them. Merely one glance was enough to make one's scalp crawl!
At the same time, Lucifer's aura suddenly changed. A cold and eerie presence emanated from those demonic eyes!
Gazing at the eight-winged fallen angel whose temperament had drastically changed, Michael's expression instantly darkened. He gripped the golden holy sword tightly and said word by word:
"【Black Goat】, Shub-Niggurath... Why is there Its aura on you?"
The eight wings flapped in the air. Within Lucifer's reddened eyes, a fervor and excitement surfaced. He laughed loudly:
"Isn't it a magnificent scent? When I mated with that one, I felt joy beyond everything! It's a pleasure you could never imagine! It's satisfaction that transcends all fallen desires!"
"...Have you gone mad?" Michael roared.
"You wouldn't understand, Michael. To me, that one's scent is simply a treasure... As long as I can eternally enjoy Its pleasure, I'm willing to do anything for It." Lucifer smiled. "【Black Goat】 has completely awakened from its slumber. 【Chaos】 is about to descend upon the mortal world. 【Key to the Gate】 shall eventually return from death...
At that time, you all will be utterly unable to stop Them. When the Moon falls, that shall be the end of all living beings!"
Lucifer's smile grew increasingly savage. Countless demonic裂嘴were etched from nothingness. His aura climbed steadily!
Seeing this, the holy sword in Michael's hand blazed even more brilliantly. His pristine white wings forcefully vibrated. His figure shattered through the void and directly slashed before Lucifer!
The evil, profound power of the fallen began to violently encroach upon Michael's 【Mortal Divine Realm】, like ink stained with blood, slowly polluting the edges of the bright raiment.
