The Four Main Angels had not taken part in the battle at first because they were observing the war and looking for an opportunity. They all had experienced hundreds of wars and so soon determined that Sui Xiong had played the key role in this battle. Therefore, they had made a deliberation that they must attack Sui Xiong together and kill him.

However, beyond their expectations, their sneak attack had not killed Sui Xiong , but instead, they had lost their Sanction Angel.

“How... how is that possible?!”

“This guy has hidden his true strength!”

“Damn it!”

For the time being, the three remaining Main Angels all changed their faces. They hurried back, afraid that they would get entangled in Sui Xiong’s tentacles and then die by his blade.

In fact, they had thought too much. After the slash, Wall had exhausted his resentment and anger that had accumulated over the years and the murderous, fighting spirit accumulated over the decades. At this moment, he was extremely weak. He wouldn’t be able to fight with anyone for at least a few years.

However, without Wall’s resentful slash, it was totally impossible for anyone present to kill a strongman equivalent to having mid-level divine power.

This also blamed the Sun God System for their arrogance. They had always regarded themselves as the sun up high and had never given the beings in the mortal world any importance. After Wall had become a god, the Sun God System only briefly studied the priesthood of Wall, and they did so without any inquiries about the experience of the new god before. Therefore, they hadn’t known how much he had hated the Sun God System, the Sun God, and the Sanction Angels.

Sui Xiong had read a network novel before he time traveled. In it, there was such a sentence: “Pain-killing refers to how painful his heart is and what kills his sword makes.” For many years, Wall’s heart had been in pain. Whether he had been silent, laughing, awake, or sleeping, Wall had not lived in peace. Anger and resentment had been haunting him like two poisonous snakes, biting his heart and pressing heavily on him like a huge stone.

This entanglement had made his body and his sword dull. As a result, the dull man with the dull sword seemed to be a bit clumsy in the battle.

However, when he had finally faced the source of his hatred at this moment, his blade had been unstoppable!

He could finally bid farewell to the long-standing obsession and let go of the burden to move forward. After he recovered, his strength would certainly grow a lot.

Well, after he recovered—not now.

Everyone saw the tensions and panic of the Three Main Angels, so the God of Aristocracy immediately came up with a plan. She used her mind to convey her plan to her comrades and got everyone’s approval.

Then in the next moment, the human gods, along with the oracles, rushed toward the Flaming Angels who were the closest to them.

The Four Main Angels were conquered and transformed by the Sun God at different times. The Sanction Angel was the latest one to be conquered, and the Flaming Angel was the first. This former God of Volcanoes had originally been a huge elemental creature, but it had been unsure of whether it was a fire element or an earth element. It thought that it was lava or perhaps something else. Probably before the birth of humans, it had once been one of the monsters that had ravaged the ground. The Sun God had defeated it, subdued it, and then sealed it into his own god’s kingdom. Many years later, when the Sun God began to create Angels, he had transformed this once powerful enemy into the strongest Angel of his majesty and called it the Archangel.

After that, as the power of the Sun God had grown stronger, more and more powerful Angels were popping up under his command, including the four with mid-level divine power. Therefore, the name of the Archangel had not been mentioned. However, in any case, as the strongest Angel in the Angel Army with comprehensive qualifications, the Flaming Angel had undoubtedly played a decisive role in the entire army.

So when the Angels saw that the human gods rushed towards the Flaming Angel, they suddenly panicked and went to defend him.

In fact, the Flaming Angel was not very close to the battle circle at this moment. If he wanted to escape, the human gods might not be able to catch up with him. However, as the oldest senior official of the entire Angel Army and the former head of the Angel Army, the Flaming Angel could not turn around and run away when facing the enemies.

If he was willing to run away, he would not have been captured by the Sun God that year.

Although the current Flaming Angel and the original God of Volcanoes could not be compared, they were at least consistent in character—violent, barbaric, stubborn, brave, and easily angered.

In the face of the rushing human gods, he did not run away but raised the tomahawk in his hand instead.

“Come on!” He laughed wildly.

With a roar, the Flaming Angel, who was originally a husky man, suddenly burst into infinite flames. In the flames stood a giant with a height of at least ten floors. The giant’s body consisted of countless flaming stones, a tomahawk in each hand. The wild fighting spirit rose from his body, eventually turning into a fiery flame igniting everything around him and burning them to a crisp.

This was the strongest form of the Flaming Angel, as well as his true appearance.

Before he faced the Angel, Sui Xiong had felt the incredibly high temperatures of the flame. The Flaming Angel almost ignited all his divine power, so the heat of the flame came not only from the flame itself but also from the divine power blended in the flame.

It could even be said that the divine power which had become a part of the flame was the real killing method.

Divine power was fantastic, and it was able to do all kinds of fantastic things, making the impossible the possible. Of course, it could also greatly enhance the power of the flames. An enemy would be burned to death with only a slight touch of it.

In the past years, the Flaming Angel had used such power several times, and every time he would kill his powerful enemies. Once, he had led a group of oracles to attack a world of abyss where the oracles there had all been polluted by the power of the abyss. Facing the countless demons and the chaotic wills from the whole world, he had used this killing skill, igniting endless flames of divine power. Eventually, he turned the whole world into a huge torch with nothing left.

With such power, he had become one of the few gods who had stepped into the abyss, fought in it, and finally returned safely.

However, he had also been polluted by the power of the abyss, becoming more and more violent and fierce. If the Sun God were not still suppressing him, he might have become an evil monster who only knew destruction.

In the face of his flames, the human gods continued rushing towards the Flowing Angel.

They had done a lot of investigation and preparations, so they had a good understanding of the methods of the Sun God and his powerful followers. Naturally, the human gods also knew the unique skill of the Flaming Angel.

In fact, they intended to use this seemingly imposing charge to force the Flaming Angel to use this skill.

Although this skill was powerful, it had two fatal shortcomings. The first one was that before the flames were extinguished, the Flaming Angel would not be able to step out of the flaming sea. So at most, he could only use long-range attacks. The second one was that this flaming sea would burn everything in its reach, even including the kingdom of the Sun God.

In other words, when this skill was used, the Flaming Angel would become a standing turret who could only throw fireballs, completely losing his mobility. Not only that, he was now constantly burning the kingdom of the Sun God which made him a seam like a useless teammate.

What was worse, as he couldn’t move anymore, only the Love Angel in the Four Main Angels could support the Flowing Angel when the human gods changed their assault target and rushed towards the Flowing Angel.

Among the Four Main Angels, the Love Angel was the weakest.

As the god who had invented the Healing Divinity Spell that year, she used to have a lot of powerful spells. After being conquered and transformed, her main ability had been converted into attacking spells because the Sun God had wanted an attacking mage, not a healing mage. Although the attacking spells of mid-level divine power were also very powerful, she was still a jack of all trades because she was not a master of healing spells or fighting spells, even if she had been converted into an Angel.

When she had used spells to attack, it was obvious that the force of the spells had been backed with a lot of divine power, but the spells had no spirituality. Real spell masters would use the right method at just the right time. They would have a fantastic sense of knowing when their spells would precisely block the attacks of enemies. However, her attacking spells were simple and crude, so no matter how powerful the strength was, they could be blocked by a shield.

The God of Protection, whose strength was close to the peak of mid-level divine power, was the best at wielding a shield directly to block something!

He held the artifact shield, “Fearless Guardian,” in one hand, blocking all the spells cast by the Love Angel with ease.

Under his cover, the squad of human gods and elite oracles suddenly rushed to the front of the Flowing Angel like shooting arrows.

The Flowing Angel was also a brave one. Seeing them coming, he knew that he had lost the first chance to escape. Therefore, he simply waved his long gun and fought back with an angry roar.

But this was also a part of the plan of the human gods.

Honestly, the God of Aristocracy was not particularly capable of fighting. Although she had recently risen to mid-level divine power, if they had a battle, she would definitely not be able to defeat Morani who had recently risen to mid-level divine power as well. Even among the ones with weak-level divine power, many might be able to defeat her.

The reason why she had been chosen to enter this elite squad was that she was very clever; she could always come up with good ideas.

Of course, there were many masters as well as sages in the Human God System, but most of the sages basically couldn’t fight. Some of which who were good at fighting didn’t become gods at all, and others who were good at fighting had become gods, but they had not joined the Human God System. Considering both force and wisdom, or force and craftiness—she was already the best choice.

There was a joke that described a famous martial arts movie star. He was the best at martial arts among actors and the best at acting in movies among martial artists. Even if there were several martial artists and actors, he was still the most handsome or the most famous out of them.

The God of Aristocracy was just like that.

Her craftiness was used in the right direction at the right time and the right place, and finally, they got the right results.

When the elite team of human gods fell into the encirclement once again and were surrounded by countless enemies both inside and outside, the Flowing Angel was dead. He had become a pile of meat at the foot of the God of Heroes.
