Chapter 1690: The Endless Guardian Mission Completed (Long Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

Estella turned around and looked behind her.

A solitary, open door stood in the mist behind her, and a slightly thin young woman slowly emerged from the mist.

The woman had delicate features, with light freckles on her face, making her look youthful and innocent.

Estella stared at the newcomer's face, her gaze pausing slightly. "The gates to the Sky City? You took advantage of the chaotic and intertwined moment to open the gates to this place through the Sky City? And you're interfering with my power? How can you influence my power?"

Her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she were pondering something. "You were once a part of me? When did you lose it?"

The woman simply looked at her quietly and sighed softly.

In that instant, Estella's body vanished from the mist and appeared before the woman.

Her hand suddenly shot out, about to press down on the woman's head.

But in that instant, a crimson hand suddenly appeared from behind her, piercing through her body and squeezing her heart.

Estella lowered her head, looking somewhat bewildered at the hand that had pierced through her body from behind.

She turned around and saw He Ao's calm eyes. She opened her mouth slightly, her gaze somewhat blank, "Impossible..."

At this moment, all her abnormal powers were used to try to expel Heo from the universe, and no new abnormal powers remained in her body.

However, due to the intervention of the young woman in front of her, she failed to expel He Ao from the universe. At this moment, her body defenses were at their weakest, and she was most vulnerable to being killed.

The power He Ao displayed, whether it was his formidable martial arts prowess or the enhancement from the God of War, was enough to pose a fatal threat to her.

This can be seen from the fact that He Ao could easily 'hurt' her before.

But she was well aware of her situation. At this moment, Heo should be fighting against the world's rejection with all her might. Even if her power was interfered with, she shouldn't have such strong mobility.

Theoretically speaking, at this moment, He Ao has no power whatsoever to launch an attack on her.

She didn't even bother to take any further precautions against Heo.

Hearing her words, He Ao simply sighed softly, "It seems that there are indeed gaps in your understanding of martial arts."

He suddenly exerted force, crushing the heart he held in his hand. A surge of red light burst forth in an instant, like beams of light piercing Estella's body.

From the moment he began fighting Vestaen, Heo had a feeling that Estella didn't know the Angel of Martial Arts as well as she had claimed.

At first, he thought that Estella's understanding of the Martial Angels was only partial, that she knew some things but not others.

But as he rose through the ranks and fought against Estella, he became increasingly aware that Estella's understanding of the Martial Angels was not 'partial,' but rather incomplete.

In theory, she seems to think she knows a lot about Martial Angels, but in reality, she knows very little about them and has many wrong assumptions.

This created the biggest information gap between her and He Ao—the extent to which He Ao was rejected by the world.

She believes that Heo should be focusing all his efforts on resisting the world's rejection, unable to move an inch or launch any effective attack.

However, in reality, due to the special connection between martial arts and the world, there is another thread binding him and pulling at his body, preventing him from being quickly 'excluded' by the world.

That is his 'Tao', the Tao after merging with the world.

Furthermore, during his martial arts breakthrough, He Ao acquired a great deal of knowledge about the origin of the world, which deepened his understanding of the world and enabled him to better utilize his own Dao to strengthen his connection with the world.

His current state is like that of a person falling off a cliff, clinging to a rope. Normally, he should be using all his strength to hold onto the rope tightly to avoid falling completely off the cliff.

But the existence of martial arts is like adding a very thin safety rope for him. Even if this safety rope is not enough to hold his entire body, it is enough to share some of his pressure, so that he does not have to hold the rope tightly and can free up some strength to do other things.

Of course, he couldn't be sure that Estella was truly unaware of martial arts characteristics; this ancient angel could pull off some ruthless tricks at any time.

So he took back all his marks early on and placed them on Estella.

As an angel who has gone mad, Estella's mind is in a state of extreme chaos. Heo can only try to extract the rational and logical parts from her countless chaotic thoughts in order to explore Estella's true thoughts.

Of course, most of this is just speculation.

But at this point, He Ao couldn't possibly predict everything, so he could only 'act' with a gambling element to it.

Of course, the fact that Estella's abnormal power was 'divided away' also confirmed his previous guess and made him more inclined to believe that Estella did indeed have some deficiencies in her martial arts memories.

He Ao raised his head and looked at the young woman in front of him.

He recognized the woman's face; she was Riley, the member of the Anomaly Association's investigation team he had first met in Xiluo City.

At this moment, Estella finally realized something, turned her gaze to Riley in front of her, and said hoarsely, "You took away my key memories related to martial arts?"

“All memories and knowledge related to the ‘World Builder’ have been corrupted,” Riley sighed softly. “Anything I touch will trigger an unusual alert, so the only thing I can take is the martial arts aspect.”

She looked up at He Ao and said, "I never thought that another Martial Arts Angel would actually appear in this world and be able to take advantage of your memory flaws."

“Foolish fellow,” Estella stared at the woman before her, struggling violently to move forward and get closer to her.

Rays of red light pierced her body, immobilizing her. With each struggle forward, her body was torn apart, but her movements did not stop for a moment.

She stared at Riley like a ferocious beast eyeing a lamb to the slaughter. A smirk spread across her face, and a green light streamed from between her teeth. "The reversal has begun. The abnormal awakening is unstoppable. Killing me will do you no good."

Estella turned abruptly to Heo behind her and roared, "The anomaly will eventually come! Your resistance is futile."

Then she whirled around and charged at Riley, the red light tearing her body apart to reveal flesh and blood covered in green light. "I will wait for you in hell until the anomaly takes me away and I return to the world."

Riley calmly watched the crazed woman before her, watching her rush forward until she reached her.

At this moment, she still possessed no divine abilities; she was merely a mortal who barely managed to protect her body with the help of the chaotic power.

If Estella were just a little closer, even a strong touch would be enough to take her life and tear her body apart.

But she remained standing there, calmly gazing at Estella's face and her eyes, which were covered in green light.

Until the other person's cheek was almost touching hers, and their breath was almost on her face.

boom--

The red light eventually pierced through Estella's entire body, fixing her in place.

Boom——

In the next instant, countless red rays of light suddenly receded, tearing apart the body covered in green light.

Pure white light spread through the void, enveloping the green radiance and quickly swallowing it up.

As the price of the divine spell, the Goddess of Life is accepting the 'sacrifice' paid by Hoo.

But these pure white rays were not only engulfing these life forces; they were also connected to the green rays, linking the remaining light and shadow in the sky.

Soon, a natural attraction and convergence appeared between these lights and shadows.

“You’ve got some nerve.” He staggered forward, looking at Riley in front of him.

The attack just now looked powerful, but it was actually the product of his all-in bet and overexertion of power. His body is now completely torn apart, and the power of the God of War has been completely exhausted.

If he had failed, he would have been excluded from the world and completely disappeared from this universe.

“Sometimes, I feel that death might not be such a bad thing,” Riley looked up at Heo and smiled. “My memories should have been completely sealed away. They only resurface when this abnormal power is intensely triggered. I’m not even aware of it myself. When did you realize it?”

“Actually, I didn’t discover it very early,” He Ao shook his head. “I just noticed your special characteristics, and combined with what just happened, I guessed everything.”

While Heo was editing everyone's memories and guiding their destinies, he naturally came into contact with 'Riley', and then he discovered that Riley possessed something special.

Out of caution, he did not investigate Riley's special qualities further, and even bypassed her in his arrangements, but he also realized that Riley might be an 'incarnation' of some angel, and he kept an eye on her.

It was only during the communication with the anomaly that he truly felt Riley's 'presence'.

"So, should I call you Riley, or should I call you...?" Heo looked at the young woman in front of him, "Estella?"

boom--

The earth trembled violently the instant he finished speaking.

The earth that had been drawing the two together seemed to have undergone some kind of reversal. The strong gravitational pull vanished in an instant, and the two bodies naturally 'floated up', rapidly 'flying' upwards into the mist.

“A name is just a label,” Riley shook her head, looked up at the green light gathering in the sky, and said softly, “I am not the complete Estella, nor was she. I am just the remnant of Estella’s humanity.”

“But in terms of consciousness, you are the more complete one,” He Ao said calmly.

He had never communicated with Riley, but Riley seemed to be able to understand his plans, and he could also anticipate Riley's plans.

When the door opened behind Estella and Riley's footsteps were heard, she and Heo had already set a trap.

One is responsible for acting as bait to attract attention, and the other is responsible for delivering the fatal blow.

The two worked together flawlessly.

This is the wisdom and imposing presence of an ancient angel.

If Heo had been facing a complete Estella, achieving his current result would have been far more difficult.

“Actually, I didn’t leave much behind,” Riley shook her head and smiled. “When I realized I was being corrupted, it was too late to do anything about it. I didn’t have much time left to be conscious.”

"I could only throw away my humanity completely before it was completely devoured, seal my memories and knowledge, clear away the mystical connections I carried, and wait for the situation to turn around. Unfortunately, the situation did not ultimately proceed in the direction I had predicted."

She sighed softly, "Logically speaking, after humanity is eliminated, my body should fall into some kind of disordered madness due to the loss of my state. Then, the angels of the Federation should be able to quickly discover 'my' abnormality. I just didn't expect that a god could help her locate the disordered reason."

The two had now passed through the mist and were once again suspended in the air.

The battle of the gods continued, tearing through the void and leaving behind streaks of humanoid figures floating in the sky.

Or rather, it's not that it's 'floating,' but rather that the earth and sky are reversing.

The gravitational pull that was originally on the earth is now shifting towards the sky.

What was once the sky has now become a dark void shrouded in a thin mist.

That seemed to be the true appearance of the sky.

On that hollow surface, enormous, mountain-like, invisible limbs were rapidly wriggling and spreading outwards.

Deep within the void, a terrifying and vast behemoth seemed to be slowly spreading outwards.

“We created the seal, and then built cities on top of it, with the aim of strengthening and maintaining the seal through these cities,” Riley said, looking up at the green light gathering in the sky.
“This ‘unsealing’ is essentially a flip, flipping the city from the surface to the other side of time and space. In this way, things that were sealed inside time and space will be flipped out, and the city’s residents become the ‘fuel’ that drives the flip.”

She lowered her head, feeling the 'gravity' emanating from the void and the enormous object within the dark void. "But this flipping isn't without a solution. I actually 'influenced' my thinking before and 'optimized' the ritual. So, during the current flipping process, no deaths have occurred yet."

"In fact, as long as the ritual is not halfway through and not fully started, there is a way to 'reverse' it."

She looked up at He Ao, "I think you should have felt it, the anomaly has no consciousness whatsoever, it's just a void of death."

She raised her hand, and the green light from the sky fell into her palm. "Now, as long as we can influence the abnormal 'existence' and make it 'voluntarily' flip back, the seal can continue to be maintained."

But the green light did not fall into her palm; instead, it fell onto another blood-stained hand.

"During the long period of confinement, your soul and spirit have been extensively corrupted by abnormalities. By the time you realized it, it was too late to reverse it," He Ao said softly, looking at the green light flickering in his palm.

"Your original plan was to exclude humanity, rely on cognitive deficiencies, and let yourself go completely out of control and insane, thereby stopping the rhythm of the abnormal recovery. At the same time, it would also make your colleagues in the Federation ruthless enough to kill you. At this time, your humanity would recover in this shock, and then guide the new guardian angels to re-stabilize the ritual."

He looked at Riley, "But unexpectedly, Estella received help from the Witch of Desire, stabilized her state, regained her madness with reason, and, under the guidance of the gods, began to unleash her abnormality."

He paused slightly, "Based on this, a series of events, including the collapse of the future building, abnormal activity, and the impact of abnormal sects, begin at this moment."

Heo gazed quietly at Riley before him. "But even if your plan succeeds, the new angel will still be corrupted and become the next madman. He won't have your experience, and he might even go mad faster than you."

“This was inevitable,” Riley said quietly, gazing at the green light in Heo’s hand. “From the moment I made my choice, I foresaw my fate, and my successor knew it too.”

"But someone has to step up, and someone always will."

She raised her gaze, looking at the shadows floating in all directions.
"In this world, protecting is an endless madness."
