National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

Lucifer sighed softly, his expression grave. "For instance, while the Bright Holy See was plotting against you, they were also plotting against us, the Dark Holy See.

One of those plans specifically targets me."

He lifted his head and gazed at the distant horizon, as if recalling a painful past. "Lucifer isn’t a codename. I am the real Lucifer, the one from the legends you’ve read about. It’s just... I have long since lost my former glory."

A hint of melancholy tinged his voice. "My power is gradually recovering. I know some of the things I had the Dark Holy See do in the past deeply upset you, but in my opinion, some sacrifices are necessary to succeed in this struggle."

Chu He’s brow furrowed, his expression souring. He waved a hand dismissively, his tone impatient. "Cut the crap. Just tell me what information you have."

Lucifer nodded, his expression growing even more solemn. "The information I have for you concerns the Bright Holy See’s plan. They are preparing to summon all Four Great Archangels—Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, and Uriel—to the Mortal World."

The news was a bombshell, sending shockwaves through everyone present.

Chu He’s heart lurched. His pupils constricted, and a flicker of shock flashed in his eyes.

’The Four Great Archangels... they’re true Deities, not something mere Eighteen-winged Angels could ever compare to.’

’Each one of them possesses world-destroying power. If all of them were to descend upon the Mortal World, the consequences would be unimaginable.’

Terrifying images flashed through his mind: the Four Great Archangels wielding blazing Holy Swords, shattering mountains and sinking continents in their wake, with countless lives turning to dust beneath their feet.

The color drained from Xiao Yu’s face when he heard the news. "The Four Great Archangels? This... How is this possible? Are they really going to summon those terrifying beings to the Mortal World?"

Nanting Snow’s expression also turned grim. She bit her lip tightly. "If the Four Great Archangels really descend upon the Mortal World, how can we possibly stop them? They’re too powerful."

Lin Zuoguang frowned, lost in thought. "We can’t just be sitting ducks. The Four Great Archangels may be powerful, but we have our own advantages. We must come up with a detailed plan as soon as possible. Otherwise, we won’t stand a chance."

Gao Liceng clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with anger. "No matter how powerful they are, we can’t back down. We must fight to the end to protect everything we cherish."

Chu He looked at Lucifer. "What’s their specific plan for the summoning? And how much time do we have?"

Lucifer shook his head. "I don’t know the specifics of the plan yet, but I know they’re already making preparations in secret. As for how long we have, I can’t be sure. But I can sense the growing urgency in their actions."

Chu He frowned slightly, lost in thought.

’This would be an unprecedented challenge. They had to give it their all.’

He looked at Xiao Yu, Nanting Snow, Lin Zuoguang, and Gao Liceng. "We need to move quickly. Starting now, we’re going to gather all the intelligence we can on the Bright Holy See and the Four Great Archangels and draw up a detailed counter-plan."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lucifer looked at them, realizing he’d made the right choice. ’Cooperating with Chu He and his group might be the only hope of defeating the Bright Holy See.’

He drew himself up slightly and said, "I will do everything in my power to provide all the information I have. We have to be united if we’re going to stand a chance."
