Chapter 184: Getting Ready For It
It was a sorrowful sight. It symbolised death. It symbolised the end and the fading of life, but...
Despite all this, it was a beautiful sight. A mesmerising and captivating sight. The bright flames falling from the sky like stars...
"Atlas... What is this?" Cassandra had asked. The Ancient Woman might have seen Atlas’s memories. Still, like Juliet and Irene beside her, or Cordelia, Talon, Constantine, Cain, and Bellatrix standing in Herria City, Cassandra herself couldn’t help but wonder.
"Yes, Cassandra... It’s happening, my dear," Atlas said suddenly, his eyes wide as he stared at the scene before him.
His heart was pounding, he was happy, incredibly happy, but there was not a trace of joy on Atlas’s face... Only the thoughts in his mind.
And the way he expressed those thoughts.
"The angels... they are falling out of heaven..."
Each one was like a falling meteor. As they fell from the sky, it was even possible to see the angels’ wings burning. When Hermes said, [Michael is committing a massacre,] he was not lying. Each angel, each one of them, had their life force completely drained. Even Atlas, who was perhaps dozens of kilometres away from them, could sense this.
"How beautiful..." Irene said suddenly. It truly was.
"We must be careful," Atlas said. The possibility that any angel might still be alive and this going unnoticed would be the beginning of a massacre, because Atlas could sense how powerful the angels were when they were alive, even if they were dead.
"I’ll go explain the situation to the other Sages. Is there anything you want to say?" Juliet asked suddenly.
