Mythology: Ragnarok

Milton brought Agreed to the imperial city of the Griffin Empire. The two disguised themselves as royal griffins, and Agreed, disguised as a griffin knight guarding the city, infiltrated the royal guard. Then, seizing the opportunity, Agreed donned a mask and slipped into the Shadow World, reaching the king's palace. (Because entering the Shadow World corrupts the soul, without a secret method to resist this corruption, the time spent inside must be as short as possible to avoid mortal danger. Therefore, Agreed first infiltrated the patrol to get as close to the palace as possible before entering the Shadow World.)

Just as Agreed arrived before the king, preparing to use magic to completely control him from the Shadow World, a burst of light energy suddenly forced him out of the Shadow World. At the same time, a two-meter-tall archangel with wings on its back appeared in front of Agreed. Immediately afterward, the king of the Griffin Empire realized the situation and hurriedly ran behind the angel for help.

The archangel swung his lightsaber at Agred, who quickly activated his levitation and wind magic to fly out of the palace. But the archangel was not about to let Agred escape and immediately spread his wings to give chase. At this moment, the royal guards arrived late from outside and knelt before the king, saying, "Your Majesty, we are late in coming to your rescue. Please forgive us."

At this moment, the king looked outside and shouted, "What are you still kneeling here for?! Notify the Griffin Knights to help the High Priest capture the thief! Hurry up and go, you bunch of useless trash!" With that, the king kicked the Imperial Guard Commander in front of him to the ground, and the Imperial Guard Commander hurriedly retreated in fear and trepidation to summon the Griffin Knights to chase after Agreed.

Meanwhile, Agreed had flown several kilometers away and was locked in a fierce battle with the archangel in the air. The archangel, wielding a divine light sword conjured from energy, attacked Agreed with vicious moves. Seeing this, Agreed, not to be outdone, drew his legendary sword and parried all the attacks. Then, Agreed activated the magic circle on the sword, and three mirror images immediately appeared. In an instant, four Agreeds attacked the archangel from different directions.

Faced with this deadly move, the archangel merely smiled contemptuously, and then energy burst forth from her body like a tide. Although the mirror clone's attack power was no different from the original body, the mirror clone's defense was particularly fragile. With a simple burst of energy, the clone would shatter and disappear.

The energy tide instantly annihilated the four Agreeds, but where did his true form go?

The archangel reacted immediately, raising the energy greatsword above his head to block Agreed's deadly strike from the sky. However, the energy greatsword was shattered by the blow, and the massive energy shockwave sent both of them flying.

Then Agreed used magic to alter his voice and amplify it as he asked, "So, angels are starting to interfere in the affairs of the prime material universe? I really didn't know that. The Griffin Empire is one of your followers."

The archangel stared intently at the enemy before him and sneered, "I sense the aura of a demon. You monkey corrupted by evil, don't think I don't know what you're up to. The Griffin Empire was founded thanks to my lord's help. This country is ours. If you know what's good for you, get out of here now, or prepare to face my lord's wrath!"

Agreed chuckled a few times and then retorted, "I don't believe Jehovah would personally descend upon this world for such a small amount of faith. You can't beat me. If you had a brain, you should have realized by those few moments that we can make a deal. I only need the Griffin Empire's army to assist me in fighting the Church of Light. Once the Church of Light is defeated, I will return the Griffin Empire to you without hesitation. How about that?"

Upon hearing this unreasonable treaty, the archangel immediately roared, "You cunning villain, die!" With that, the archangel unleashed his strongest killing move, 'Divine Judgment,' which he had been preparing during their conversation. Pure light illuminated the sky, and then endless blades of judgment light merged into a divine sword that seemed capable of cleaving the world, hurtling towards Agred.

At this critical moment, Agreed calmly took out his staff, instantly cast the blood magic 'Heart Grasp', and crushed the phantom of the archangel's heart. Then, the divine judgment instantly dissipated, and the archangel fell helplessly to the ground from the sky. With his death, the attacks that filled the sky naturally dissipated as well.

Suddenly, a huge phantom burst out from the dead archangel. It was a deformed monster made of eyeballs with six pairs of huge wings. This was the true form of the angel, their original appearance.

The angel roared angrily, "No! You bastard, you actually killed my avatar! Don't be so smug, when I descend to earth again I will kill you!" With that, the angel's phantom was banished from the material world and vanished into the air.

After the battle, Agreed quickly landed on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, every angel was at least a demigod, but unfortunately, angels, like demons, came from an independent world, which some people called 'Heaven'. Such powerful beings also had to pay a price for descending to the material world. For various reasons, archangels usually relied on possession to bring part of their soul and power to other worlds besides Heaven.

In fact, it's not that demigods can't go to other worlds, it's just that demigods are too big a target. Most other universes have native gods, and if a foreign demigod like you dares to sneak over, you're doomed. But gods don't care about the descent of demigods' incarnations, since those incarnations have limited power and are too numerous to manage. So most gods of faith use this method to spread their religion and collect faith power.

Angels are a powerful race, just like demons, with many beings who have reached the level of gods. Their leader, Jehovah, is their lord and the god worshipped by all angels, including those who have reached the level of gods.

As for the appearance of the angel race, it is actually very different from human imagination. The appearance of the angel race does not conform to human aesthetics. The initial records of angels were actually correct. 'Angels are not only powerful but also have the most ferocious and terrifying appearance of all races, which is the main reason why they can scare away demons.' However, due to a lack of knowledge in later generations, the angel race was gradually beautified into a life form that conforms to human aesthetics. In fact, this perception is ridiculously wrong.

"I hope the Griffin Empire only has this one angel," Agreed murmured, looking at the angel's dead incarnation.

That avatar was a pitiful little girl. The power of the angels forcibly induced the growth of her fragile body, turning this child, whose bone age was still developing, into a powerful 'Judgment Angel' standing two meters tall. This is also the weakness of these avatars. It is true that they are powerful, but it is also an indisputable fact that the avatars are too weak and have a frailty that should not exist at this level. This is why Agreed is so fearless. Blood magic is specifically designed to subdue enemies with weak bodies. Once the avatar dies, no matter who you are, you have to obediently stay aside. Even if Jehovah descends into this universe, he can only watch from the sidelines if his avatar dies.

Just as Agreed was observing the dead avatar, a piercing scream that shook the heavens and earth pulled him back to reality. The Griffin Knights' royal guards had arrived. But then Agreed had a sudden inspiration and immediately vanished into the shadow world, turning the tables and charging back towards the Griffin Empire's palace, heading straight for the Griffin Empire's monarch.

Fortunately, Agreed's gamble paid off. There was no other angel in the Griffin Empire, so Agreed entered the palace without any trouble and took control of the King of the Griffin Empire. He then spent ten days carrying out a 'great cleanup' of the country and the surrounding area to consolidate his rule.

By this time, all the human kingdoms in the East had been brought under Agred's control, a total of one year and two months.
