Chapter 221 - 30: The End and The Beginning
Everything seemed to have settled.
The Battle of Salted Fish City, Holy Knight Gray achieved a decisive victory. Or rather, humanity achieved a decisive victory.
Could Heaven rally the remaining twelve Angel Armies and forcefully wage war? Of course they could, but it would take months. And doing so would bring unpredictable results. Even if they won, what would it mean? The Lich, or rather the Undead Clan, were best at long wars. They could drag the battle out indefinitely until the demons spectating from the sidelines laughed aloud.
The current situation, without a doubt, announced the complete failure of Heaven’s faith strategy for the past ten thousand years. And for Hell, was it any different?
*Would the continent’s regime, led by the Holy Knight, leave them any space?*
The justice under Heaven’s leadership was at least defensive. However, Gray’s faith strategy was entirely offensive, expansionist, unyielding, like a blaze capable of incinerating everything. This was clear to everyone.
...
The abyss was eerily silent.
A huge screen displayed what was happening at Salted Fish Port, where the victorious people were rushing in, filling the port to the brim. They lifted the barely intact body of Gray high, shouting and laughing.
The Frog Demon couldn’t help but exclaim, "Unbelievable, he truly did it. Against everyone’s wishes, and not by force. He himself possessed no power. None of the endings we considered were like this."
All the demons, including the Demon Lord, remained silent.
