Chapter 1726
【Chaos】 and Michael
Sensing the aura emanating from the black man, Michael's expression immediately darkened.
"The Walking 【Chaos】?!"
"YES!" The black man snapped his fingers, spreading his arms wide with an enthusiastic grin. "But here, I hope you'll call me Dr. Nya."
Michael had no intention of wasting words on 【Chaos】. Gripping the golden holy sword with both hands, surging divine power instantly filled the room. The next moment, a brilliant blade of light erupted from the room's doors and windows!
BOOM—!!
A muffled explosion echoed above the hospital. A figure in a white lab coat drifted down like a kite, landing gently in the courtyard. Smiling as he watched the golden figure slowly emerge, there wasn't a scratch on his body.
Michael strode out of the room, sword in hand. His gaze swept across the surroundings, confusion flickering in his eyes.
"This is... where?"
He had just released such an enormous amount of divine power, yet the room remained completely undamaged. The spotless corridor gleamed under the sunlight. He glanced back—above the room hung a mysterious nameplate bearing the shape of six wings.
"Welcome to the Asylum of the Gods." In the courtyard, 【Chaos】 spread his arms leisurely. "And you, my first patient—Seraph Michael."
At that moment, a virtual panel popped up above Michael's head, though he was entirely unaware of it.
"
Patient Room One.
Patient: Michael
Task: Assist Michael in treating mental illness. Upon reaching specified treatment progress (1%, 50%, 100%), may randomly extract partial abilities from Michael.
Current Treatment Progress: 100% (Treatment unnecessary)
"
Upon seeing the panel, 【Chaos】 raised an eyebrow.
"No treatment needed... it seems your mind is quite healthy?"
"But it doesn't matter. Being mentally healthy now doesn't guarantee you'll stay that way... After all, what I excel at is playing with hearts. As long as I drive you to a mental breakdown and then slowly heal you back, I can still obtain your power." 【Chaos】 grinned, his gleaming white teeth flashing before Michael.
"Being one of Cthulhu's Three Pillars yet possessing the purest and most powerful Seraphic power... don't you find that interesting?"
"What are you talking about?" Michael couldn't understand a word of 【Chaos】's rambling. "How did you lock me in here without me noticing? What do you want?"
"This hospital inherently possesses the power to conceal auras. Even if you're a 'Supreme God,' you couldn't sense its presence... Of course, the Great Xia gods on Earth are the same." 【Chaos】 clapped his hands.
"So, besides the two of us, no one in the world knows I've secretly arrived on the Moon and imprisoned its Watcher... As for what I want to do—"
Hehe, guess."
"You want to release THEM?!" Michael's pupils contracted slightly, terrifying Seraphic divine might raged outward!
The Moon sealed away all gods of the Cthulhu Faction except the Three Pillars. Once they were released, Earth's sole Heavenly Court would stand no chance against the combined might of the Cthulhu Faction. If 【Chaos】 truly succeeded, Earth would be finished.
【Black Goat】 had attempted to break the Moon seal once before, but ultimately failed... Now, 【Chaos】—empowered by the Asylum of the Gods—returns!
Under the dazzling divine might, the courtyard's flowers and grass evaporated instantly. The gale shattered the windows of the attendant dormitory, whipping 【Chaos】's white coat.
【Chaos】 paid it no mind, smiling lightly:
"Useless, my dear Michael... I'm the director here now, and you're merely a patient. You can't possibly—"
BOOM—!!
A massive six-winged shadow instantly flashed behind 【Chaos】. The blazing holy golden sword cleaved into the earth as endless golden radiance flooded the entire hospital.
A figure stumbled out of the swirling dust, landing on the courtyard ruins. 【Chaos】 stared at the savage wound across his chest, disbelief flickering in his eyes.
"How is this possible? In this hospital, how could you possibly hurt me?"
Flowing golden divine power wove into a sacred domain, spreading outward from the angel's pristine six wings. Michael gripped the massive sword in one hand, his exquisitely beautiful face cold as an icy mountain—solemn and majestic.
【Mortal Divine Realm】!
Patients cannot harm the director—this was the hospital's rule. But there were always exceptions... such as miracles.
Sensing the threatening aura emanating from Michael, the disdain on 【Chaos】's face gradually faded. He withdrew his hands from his pockets, evil and manic Cthulhu Faction divine might pouring forth, even directly overwhelming Michael's Seraphic power—claiming two-thirds of the entire hospital.
"As expected of the First Angel who once served under Yerand... I underestimated you indeed." He spoke calmly. "But do you truly believe you can defeat me?"
Michael said nothing. Gripping the holy sword, his 【Mortal Divine Realm】 desperately resisted 【Chaos】's power, yet continued to retreat step by step.
The Three Pillars' strength far exceeded that of Supreme Gods. Only by joining forces with the three Celestial Sovereigns had they managed to set a trap for 【Black Goat】. Now, Michael faced 【Chaos】—whose frontal combat power vastly surpassed 【Black Goat】's.
Even so, he had no choice but to fight!
No matter the outcome, he had to at least shatter this hospital and expose the battle's aftermath. Only then could he alert the Heavenly Court. Only with the three Celestial Sovereigns' intervention would there be any hope of protecting the Moon Formation!
Blazing twin eyes blazed from the Seraph's gaze. He transformed into a golden blur, charging once more toward 【Chaos】 standing in the darkness!
An earth-shattering roar erupted once again within the hospital!
Meanwhile, in the deep space above the Moon's surface, all remained deathly silent.
The hospital floated above the gray-white terrain like a soundless specter, not a trace of aura escaping. As the hospital slowly descended, it drew ever closer to the sealing formation at the crater's center.
...
Earth.
Among the snow-capped mountains, a monk sitting cross-legged in meditation slowly opened his eyes.
"Has it begun..." He gazed at the moon's reflection in the sky, murmuring to himself.
After a moment, he withdrew his gaze. Those indifferent eyes held not the slightest flicker of emotion. They slowly closed once more as he sat motionless as a stone statue amid the wind and snow.
"But... not yet."
