Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire-Chapter 207 - 151: Blossoming on Both Sides, Devil’s Scheme_2

Chapter 207: Chapter 151: Blossoming on Both Sides, Devil’s Scheme_2

"Huh? What is this?"

The lead angel looked at the power and aura displayed by Tidel and uttered a voice full of surprise.

"Noah? Has your world been invaded by evil again?"

At this moment, a female angel with an elegant and marked face, yet tinged with an unshakeable murderous aura, stepped forward and looked at the calm Golden Dragon.

"To be precise, it’s an Abyss invasion, which might even have some connection with you."

"Abyss invasion? Related to me?"

Ophelia’s expression changed drastically. She took a step forward, descending from Heaven. It seemed like just a brief distance, but in reality, she traveled from Heaven to the Material Realm, a feat extremely challenging; however, a powerful force suppressed everything, preventing the rules of the Material Realm from affecting the angel’s descent, making it appear effortless and natural.

"What’s going on?"

After Ophelia descended, the huge space rift began to rapidly mend. Although the six-winged angel standing alongside Ophelia was filled with inquiry and curiosity in her eyes, she did not follow to descend.

"In the southern part of the continent where I reside..."

Noah gave a brief introduction to the situation and after explaining the basic circumstances, his tone shifted,

"With the mind of a demon, it’s absolutely impossible to create an Abyss Gate in such a short time. I think this incident is very abnormal. I suspect it has something to do with devils."

Noah, who was simply making things up, added,

"I suspect that the devil you once banished and suppressed planned this event."

"Do you have any evidence?"

What Noah said made Ophelia’s face quite unpleasant. For a Main Angel with a strong sense of responsibility, this kind of news was unacceptable. A disaster affecting tens of millions of sentient beings was actually triggered by her.

"It’s just a speculation. The mind of an Abyss follower is no better than that of a demon." freewebnoveℓ.com

Chaos is the nature of the Abyss, no matter how powerful the demon is, even if its power rivals the Divine, and it hunts Deities, its thinking will always be chaotic. This is greatly related to the formation of the Abyss, making it difficult for a demon rising from the Abyss to escape such influence.

It’s not completely hopeless though. It’s quite simple, split the Abyss, and you can get rid of the chaotic mark of the Abyss, move from disorder to order, and establish Hell. Of course, doing so would incur the deepest malice of the Abyss, but those who can achieve this wouldn’t care.

"Looking through history, there are few Abyss followers who can successfully establish an Abyss Gate in a short time. It’s usually due to a combination of factors with many external influences and pushes. I suspect this time it’s driven by a devil."

Initially just a whim, Noah started to see more sense in his own ramblings, making things seem clearer and more convincing, even to himself, because there was indeed such a possibility.

Back when the Great Angel was hunting the devil, Noah determined that there must have been oversights. Devils are not fools, knowing that angels would descend from Heaven to hunt them, how could they not run?

These creatures fled south, and now they are stirring up chaos and causing trouble, which is not surprising.

The devil and the demon are naturally antagonistic; when it comes to cunning strategies, demons are no match for devils. If a devil has a major plan, it certainly wouldn’t mind using demons as cannon fodder.

However, if you follow this line of reasoning, it becomes somewhat terrifying, because what is the purpose of devils helping demons to establish an Abyss Gate?

It couldn’t possibly be to assist in the expansion of the Abyss. Devils aren’t so kind. Every devil is an extremely selfish being, only concerned with whether they can gain benefits and never caring about the life or death of any creature other than themselves.

"Do they want to establish a Gate of Hell?!"

Noah reached this conclusion, causing everyone present to feel horrified.

The horror of a Hell invasion is over ten times that of an Abyss invasion, because with demons’ chaotic nature, they will first consume more than ninety percent of their kind before launching any battlefield.

Unlike demons, devils know how to organize and collaborate. With battle and legion fighting abilities honed in Purgatory, once devils reach a certain scale, the Material Realm’s legions can hardly withstand, only the Heavenly Realm Legion can bear the pressure.

"Noah, I hope your deduction proves to be false."

Even Tidel, who had no intention of going south, looked very grave at this moment, because the location chosen by the devil for the Purgatory Gate would definitely be a densely populated area with many intelligent creatures; Elisium City fits the criteria.

"I hope it’s false too."

Noah’s head scales bristled slightly. He just had a flash of inspiration, intended to bluff this Great Angel in front of him, hoping she would stay longer in the Material Realm, ideally accompanying him until the event concluded, but now the logical result he arrived at even startled himself.

"If it really is as you say, then around the Abyss Gate, there should be traces left by devils for sure."

Ophelia’s brows furrowed; she naturally sensed that this Golden Dragon in front of her was conveying such speculation with some ill intentions, yet she couldn’t deny the possibility. Similar cases were not unheard of.

"Let’s go take a look now."

"Alright."

At this point, Noah couldn’t sit still either.

The saying goes, "Mind your own business," but once something could impact oneself, the situation becomes different. For a standalone Abyss invasion, Noah believed that even without his intervention, the Xilantia Continent could withstand it due to its foundation.

But if Hell also invades, with dual pressures, he truly couldn’t predict the outcome. Even in the most optimistic scenario, the result wouldn’t be good.

Noah gathered a Dragon Group, first summoning three Ancient Dragons who could descend as long as the price was right, and led by his role as President of the Gemology Society, took the Academy members and headed south with the angels.

Even though the entire group was comprised of high-ranking extraordinary beings with spell-casting abilities, the nearly forty thousand kilometers was still an extremely lengthy journey.

The first half of this support mission was filled with majestic mountains and rivers, beautiful scenery, fresh and cool breezes, harmonious everything, with no sign of the southern region of the same continent suffering an Abyss invasion and being ravaged by demons.

However, in the second half of the journey, the air was permeated with a faint sulfur odor, and gradually heavier stench of decay and death, making all the dragons’ eyes turn much somber.

"Ophelia, this actually has nothing to do with you. Even without you, this disaster would have occurred, maybe even earlier."

"But I did detect signs, yet couldn’t stop it in time."

"It wasn’t possible to stop, even if a Divine had descended, it would still be defeated, wouldn’t it?"

Noah felt a bit of guilt.

"It’s different. If I had found and eradicated all the evil earlier..."

"That’s like completely eradicating Hell; it’s an impossible task. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself."

The angel shook her head but didn’t speak again. At this moment, beneath them, a shocking scene of devastation caught their eyes—a village burned to nothing, leaving only charred remains and ashes, ruins with broken walls, scattered bones and charred corpses everywhere, with purple-black bloodstains covering the city.

In corners of the city, they could still see low-level cowardly demons gnawing on the remains of infants, moving with a strong resentment and the sound of wailing souls through the dark corners of the city.

"This is the independent Free Territory of Kurtan, over a thousand kilometers from the Brahma Dynasty. How did it end up like this?"

"This means the information we have is outdated, or perhaps, the demons are advancing faster than we expected."

"That’s impossible. From the time we received the information until now, it’s been less than ten days. Given the demons’ chaos, such speed is unimaginable, unless someone is deliberately guiding them."
