Chapter 1051: Leon's Weakness (Part 1)
Damn it! You won't even talk things through?!
The Thousand-Eyed Archangel's myriad eyes glowed brightly, dispelling the "verdigris" that the Envy Demon God had implanted in them. Watching Leon hastily retreat with the young angel in tow, a deep sense of regret welled up within the Thousand-Eyed Archangel.
She had thought she understood the secretive Aquarius Director well enough, but now it was clear that without direct observation, her conclusions were still off the mark. The memories of the Wrath Demon God and the Capricorn Director, though genuine, did not provide a complete understanding of Aquarius. Her judgments, based on those memories, had significant flaws. This man was far more decisive than she had imagined!
Even after she had hinted to the Capricorn Director that her three conditions had room for negotiation, hoping to keep him at the table and continue the discussion, he had not been swayed by her subtle cues. In the simplest, most straightforward, and even despicable manner, he had launched a cowardly sneak attack immediately after confirming his primary objective!
"Kuler! Xindo!"
The light of Wisdom radiated outward, like the midday sun, dissolving the maleficence of the Sin Demon Gods. The Thousand-Eyed Archangel suppressed her regret and called out to the Miracle Archangel and the Time Archangel.
"Got it!"
"Understood."
Although caught off guard by the Sin Demon Gods and losing the initiative in the first exchange, the Nine Archangels, as eternal adversaries, were not so easily defeated.
Thanks to the efforts of the Thousand-Eyed Archangel, they managed to escape the Sin Demon Gods' sneak attack. The Miracle Archangel, who moved like a shadow, and the Time Archangel, whose appearance was both youthful and aged, raised their hands in unison. The powers of miracles and time merged instantly.
This damned trick again!!!
Amid the Sin Demon Gods' expressions of utter frustration, the Miracle Archangel and the Time Archangel's forms perfectly overlapped, leaving a chronoglyph in the eyes of all present.
Time heals all wounds and creates all miracles.
The intangible chronoglyph slightly reversed, and the time centered around the two angels followed suit. The golden nectar on the Nine Archangels' wings retracted, the verdigris that had covered their eyes receded, and the wounds from the thorned vines on their necks closed and healed. It was as if nothing had happened.
Even the young angel that Leon had grabbed seemed to lose form, flowing back to her original position and easily escaping Leon's grasp, only to be caught again!
"How is this possible?"
"Amara!"
"Why can he act during the temporal reversal?!"
I can't reverse time, but I can see a few seconds into the future.
With the Nine Archangels' expressions of disbelief, Leon's hand, glowing with the Primordial Hue, tore through the [Miracle Time] on the young angel, forcibly breaking it. He then retreated with the terrified young angel back into the Demon Gods' midst, completing his capture of the Destiny Angel.
"Heart of the Court?"
Sensing the slight temporal distortion around Leon and identifying the "flavor" it carried, the Thousand-Eyed Archangel's face darkened. She asked, almost disbelievingly:
"Did you receive the Great Warlock's blessing?"
To be precise, after receiving the blessing, I also triggered an unranked insignia, allowing me to occasionally glimpse 2-3 seconds into the future... but there’s no need to tell you that.
Seeing the standoff caused by the capture of the young angel, Leon smiled slightly, feeling a bit relieved. Instead of responding, he gestured behind him.
Sigh... getting a good night's sleep is really hard...
Noticing Leon’s gesture, the Sloth Demon God couldn’t help but sigh deeply. Then, following Leon’s orders conveyed through the ram’s entrails, the Sloth Demon God reluctantly gave up their coffin and pushed the young angel, whose eyes were heavy with weariness due to the influence of Sloth, inside.
Unlike the other Sin Demon Gods responsible for "mass control", the Sloth Demon God had only one task: to use Sloth and Omission to forcibly exchange the angel’s resistance, and then, in conjunction with Leon’s ability to shatter "Truth", capture the Fate Angel in one fell swoop!
The information gap was too great...
Watching Amara struggle a few times but ultimately succumb to the drowsiness brought on by Sloth’s Original Sin, the Thousand-Eyed Archangel, with a grim expression, took a deep breath and fixed her gaze on Leon.
The information I have on this human is very limited, while he has the help of the Sin Demon Gods and knows everything about us. Continuing this fight will only lead to more losses.
“You won…”
Looking at the colorful light covering Leon’s palm, identical to that of the third director of the Clean-up Bureau, the Thousand-Eyed Archangel closed her eyes slightly. She tried to read Leon’s thoughts while tensely negotiating:
“The first two conditions can be canceled. Just return Amara and promise to leave Heaven’s Mountain, and we will immediately release the Wrath Demon God and... you still want to fight?!”
What else?
In the Thousand-Eyed Archangel’s astonished and angry gaze, the six heavy and oppressive Original Sins descended instantly, following Leon’s renewed charge and colliding with the Eight Archangels’ "Truth."
Since you decide whether we talk, I’ll decide when the fighting stops!
Just as he did in the Abyss when facing a four-on-one attack from the Sin Demon Gods, Leon’s hand, covered in the Primordial Hue, shot forward. He precisely grabbed two of the eight "Truths" sweeping toward him and yanked them forcefully toward himself!
“Be careful!”
Seeing the Dream Archangel and Emotion Archangel lose their balance and get dragged toward Leon, the Thousand-Eyed Archangel quickly warned:
“He can touch our Truth. Don’t attack him directly with Truth!”
Heeding the Thousand-Eyed Archangel’s warning, the Dream Archangel and Emotion Archangel immediately changed their tactics. Instead of trying to influence Leon directly with Truth, they dispersed it and enveloped him as he charged forward.
The Dream Archangel's "dream" was torn apart by Leon's bare hands, splattering like ink. Each drop of "ink" turned the peak of Heaven's Mountain pitch black, forming a vast Umbrafilth Dreamscape that began to frantically erode reality.
The Emotion Archangel’s "emotion" lost its clear form, transforming into a wave existing only in the spiritual realm, carrying a silent maelstrom that only the soul could hear, surging toward Leon and the Sin Demon Gods like a tidal wave.
