Chapter 1123 - 445: A Bunch of Fools Seeking Their Own Doom (Part 2)
"Alina, Richard!"
He shouted loudly to his trusted aides.
"Order the entire city to be on high alert and strengthen the defenses immediately!"
"Make sure to catch all the members of the Holy See in one sweep!"
"I want to see what tricks they still have up their sleeves!"
Alina and Richard, upon hearing this, quickly accepted the command.
"Yes, Master!"
"We will handle it right away!"
Soon, the entire city was enveloped in an atmosphere of foreboding.
Everyone was on edge, consumed with anxiety.
People were jumpy, ready to react to any perceived threat.
In that moment, tension was at its peak, and fear spread among the populace.
The instigator, however, sat poised and serene within his residence.
A look of calm self-assurance adorned his face.
"Come, come as you please."
"I, Zhang Beixing, await your presence!"
His gaze was sharp and electrifying.
He exuded a sense of insurmountable pride.
No one knew that a monumental battle was quietly approaching.
Meanwhile, inside a secret chamber at the Church Headquarters, Giovanni knelt shaking.
Before him, Alexander sat on the throne, his gaze piercing.
"What? The assassins you sent all failed?"
Alexander’s voice was as cold as ice.
"One Zhang Beixing has slaughtered them all?"
Upon hearing this, Giovanni trembled even more.
"My lord, it was my incompetence, please punish me."
"That Zhang Beixing is truly too powerful."
"It seems... it seems he has really obtained the power of the Angel’s Wing."
"Our men are simply no match for him."
Alexander’s face turned grim upon hearing this.
"You’re saying that the Angel’s Wing is really in his possession?"
"This... this is impossible..."
"Unless... unless he has truly received the angel’s approval..."
Alexander’s heart was in turmoil.
He had never imagined the situation would become so unfavorable.
He had thought that with the strength of the Holy See and the support of the Box of the Seven Deadly Sins,
dealing with a single Zhang Beixing should have been more than enough.
But now it seems, it might not be that simple.
"My lord, do we not have any other solutions now?"
Giovanni asked cautiously.
Alexander contemplated for a moment, then spoke slowly.
"No, there is still one solution."
"However, the risk is immense, and if it fails, the consequences could be unimaginable."
Upon hearing this, Giovanni’s Spirit lifted.
"My lord, you... you mean..."
Alexander nodded, his gaze heavy.
"That’s right, I’m talking about summoning the Fallen Angel."
"With our Power, it’s difficult to defeat Zhang Beixing, who possesses the Power of the Angels."
"The only way is to utilize the Dark Power of the Fallen Angel to contend with him."
"However, the power of the Fallen Angel is extremely evil and hard to control."
"If the summoning fails, it might bring catastrophic disaster to this world."
Alexander’s words made Giovanni gasp.
"Summoning... summoning the Fallen Angel?"
"Isn’t that too dangerous?"
"If we lose control, won’t it lead to chaos in the world?"
Alexander, however, laughed coldly.
"Chaos in the world? So what?"
"If we can’t eliminate Zhang Beixing, chaos will come sooner or later anyway."
"Rather than sitting idle, why not take a desperate gamble?"
"Moreover... we are the agents of God."
"Even if we summon the Fallen Angel, what of it?"
Alexander’s audacious words made Giovanni’s heart tremble.
He suddenly realized that this person might be even crazier than Zhang Beixing.
To eliminate Zhang Beixing, he was willing to summon the Fallen Angel.
And without regard for the consequences.
This... this is simply playing with fire!
"My lord, are you really going to proceed with this?"
Giovanni asked cautiously.
Alexander laughed coldly and responded decisively.
"Of course! We have no other choice!"
"If we don’t act first, we won’t even have a chance to regret it!"
"Go, prepare immediately to summon the Fallen Angel!"
"I want to see how long Zhang Beixing can remain arrogant!"
Giovanni, upon hearing this, could only force himself to comply.
"Yes... yes, my lord."
With those words, he retreated cautiously.
Alexander’s eyes gleamed wildly, revealing a hint of madness.
"Zhang Beixing, just you wait."
"This time, I’ll ensure your eternal damnation!"
He clenched his fists, his nails almost piercing his palms.
His eyes were filled with a twisted madness.
Zhang Beixing sat cross-legged, eyes closed.
Beside him, a crimson flame was burning fiercely.
That flame was the new power he gained after merging with the Angel’s Wing.
Although it was merely a small flame, the energy within it was unimaginably terrifying.
[Host, your current status is very good.]
The Persuasion System’s voice echoed in his mind again.
[After merging with the Angel’s Wing, your strength has grown immensely.]
[With your current Cultivation speed, it won’t be long before you fully master this Power.]
[When that time comes, you’ll be able to single-handedly rival tens of thousands of troops!]
[Perhaps one day, you might even stand shoulder to shoulder with the divine...]
Hearing this, Zhang Beixing’s lips curled into a slight smile.
"Stand shoulder to shoulder with the divine? Hah, that’s still far off."
"I’m just getting started."
"When I fully master the Power of the Angels and absorb other Divine Artifacts..."
"By that time, I will be the true ruler of this world!"
"The divine? They are nothing but ants beneath my feet!"
Zhang Beixing’s audacious words left the System taken aback.
[Host... aren’t you being a bit too arrogant?]
[Though your strength now is indeed formidable.]
