Chapter 100

An Ge placed his hands in front of himself and the small sapling.

The holy light beam grazed the ground and shone on An Ge's hands, emitting a puff of white smoke and sparks. The holy light, which carried damage, continued to harm the area it illuminated even after the beam disappeared, though the damage was...

An Ge's right hand, which was the Hand of Locke, had its entire palm corroded by magic, with the index and ring finger bones broken, leaving only the middle, thumb, and little finger standing.

However, the forearm that had been replaced with Locke's hand bone was unscathed, only the surface was scorched, and it could be restored by wiping it off.

The left hand, the Hand of the World Piercer, was completely intact.

The areas of both hands that were illuminated by the holy light continued to suffer from the additional damage, sizzling and sparking, and the thumb and little finger of the right hand could not hold on and broke off, leaving only the middle finger standing tall.

An Ge lost a hand, but the figure that cast the Holy Light Flash fell to the ground, the light gradually dimming, apparently dying just like the angelic skeleton after one shot.

Can the holy light harm the undead, and can the soul extinguish the holy light? An Ge's hands ignited with soul flames, and the residual holy light damage quickly subsided, soon disappearing completely.

Up to this angel, no more angels were sent over, and even the heavenly staircase beam gradually dimmed and finally disappeared.

An Ge, while remaining vigilant, took out the palm bone of Locke and tried to fit it onto his right hand. Hmm? It worked.

When he first got it, he could only drive the arm bone of the Hand of Locke, but now he could fit it all together, clearly indicating that An Ge's soul strength had greatly increased.

Thus, the Hand of Locke was fully replaced. With only the soul strength of a gold skeleton, An Ge now had a complete Mourning Hand that even the Holy Light Flash could not damage.

After more than an hour, the sky slowly brightened, and the Resting Wind stopped. Everyone poked their heads out of the pit and saw a scene that left them utterly astonished.

Around the landing point of the light beam, at least three thousand slender skeletons were kneeling, most of them in the same posture, holding swords with one knee on the ground. A few with different postures or scattered bones were all killed by An Ge.

The smallest one lay prostrate in the second closest position to An Ge. If there were no accidents, it was the one that cast the Holy Light Flash.

Regardless of how they originally died, they were now just bones, devoid of any holy aura.

But this was not the most astonishing thing. What was even more astonishing was the city hanging in the sky several thousand meters above.

Yesterday, it looked like a mountain peak, but today, its true form was clear. It was not a mountain peak but a city, with buildings clearly visible, streets neatly laid out, and all kinds of zones present, though on a smaller scale.

Moreover, the entire city was upside down. Looking up from here, would the things inside fall out?

Obviously not. The city above had its own gravity, and from inside the city, the place where An Ge and the others were would be upside down.

This huge city, like a bowl, was inverted in the sky, seemingly stuck there, motionless.

"Is this the Holy Heaven? Can you see anyone up there?" Negris asked.

"No, I can't see anything moving." Several thousand meters is several dozen kilometers, and no one's eyes could see if there were people dozens of kilometers away.

Anthony closed his eyes and muttered, "The power of light, penetrate the mist of distance, reach the other shore, Eye of the Other Shore!"

The last four words, Anthony shouted, and at the same time, he suddenly opened his eyes, which burst with white light, as if two beams were about to shoot out.

Looking up with his glowing eyes for a while, Anthony shook his head. "No one, nothing is moving, it's just a dead city. Is there anyone who can fly and go up to see more clearly?"

Negris flapped his small wings and flew up thirty meters, while the angelic skeleton flapped its large wings and flew up three meters.

An Ge used wind elements to support himself and flew up to three hundred meters. At this height, the horizontal wind would impact the vertical wind element movement, overwhelming the first-level wind element An Ge was using.

To fly higher, he would need a more advanced wind magic.

A group of people tried, and the one who flew the highest was An Ge.

"What do we do now?" Luther asked blankly. "Will it fall? Such a large thing, if it falls, it will destroy everything."

"Don't say what it will destroy, if it really falls, the entire plane might be destroyed, but it seems to have stopped moving." Negris said. "But everyone should be prepared, if it really falls, everyone should teleport away immediately."

"What about those bird people? Will there be more sent over? Do we need to set up defenses?" Luther asked.

"Probably not." Negris was also at a loss. "For more than an hour before the wind stopped, no more angels were sent over. I guess they're gone? If there were, would these guys jump into the Resting Wind one after another?"

No one knew if there were more angels, and no one knew how to deal with the city in the sky. After a blank discussion, they could only send people to guard the landing point of the staircase.

Finally, everyone's gaze turned to the three thousand angel skeletons. Anthony said, "These skeletons I..."

Before he could finish, Negris interrupted, "No, these are An Ge's spoils of war, you didn't do anything."

"Uh, there are thousands, give me twelve, I'll try to revive them, and have them escort me back to the church. This way, I don't have to make up lies. With twelve angels on either side, my status as a divine favorite will be solidified."

Seeing Negris's reluctant face, Anthony quickly added, "Equivalent, I know. Once I become the Pope, I'll empty the Church's coffers to pay you back, how about that?"

Negris immediately smiled, ran over to ask An Ge, and then came back and said, "Okay, okay, remember the 300,000 magic crystals for the Holy Essence Liquid and the 60,000 magic crystals for the World Tree Sprout Scrambled Eggs. The rest is fine, I won't charge you."

Anthony happily went to pick the skeletons, choosing twelve first-stage angelic holy bones to carry back.

Except for the church's upper echelons, most people did not know that the smaller the angel, the stronger its combat power. First-stage angels were tall, with poor combat power but excellent at intimidating others.

After a lot of effort, he teleported all the holy bones to the main material plane, slowly reviving the angels while whispering in their ears to modify their memories.

In the past, Anthony would have been wary of the gods of light, but now, he had no such reservations.

A month later, escorted by twelve first-stage angels, Anthony arrived at the Holy Spear Army's base.
