Chapter 1757: Chapter 679: The Mantis Catches the Cicada_2

Contrelas frowned and said, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Who am I" said, "What I want to say is that after Ye Su left Earth, he continued to maintain this sect, primarily to deal with you."

Contrelas was shocked: "Why deal with me? This sect is weak and insignificant; I can destroy it with a mere flick of my hand."

"Who am I" said, "Two thousand years ago, Ye Su predicted what would happen today. She knew that under normal circumstances, I was no match for you, so to enhance my strength, she altered the Holy See’s teachings. By using the modified teachings, she could amass a great deal of the power of faith. The power source of the Three Holy Artifacts of the Holy See is the power of faith; the more faith, the stronger the artifacts. After two thousand years of continuous faith collection, the power of the Three Holy Artifacts has reached its peak. Thus, the battle angel they summoned evolved into a six-winged angel. This six-winged angel was created specifically to confront you."

Contrelas couldn’t believe his ears. He roared loudly, "I don’t believe it! You just said Ye Su has always been giving me chances. Why did she target me two thousand years ago?"

Not wanting to waste more words, "Who am I" waved his magic wand, and the six-winged battle angel behind him rushed out. The furious Contrelas, with terrifying red light emanating from his eyes, wielded the Sword in the Stone and began to engage. Behind the battling pair, "Who am I" wielded a white magic wand, continuously casting light magic, both to bolster the battle angel’s combat power and to weaken Contrelas’ strength. Occasionally, he would also unleash highly potent light spells to directly attack Contrelas...

Lu Pingping’s white wings flapped swiftly, carrying her up to the surface. Upon reaching it, Lu Pingping found that although it was nighttime, a full moon hung in the sky. However, this moon was completely different from the previous one, as it was blood red. Bathed in the blood moon’s glow, the entire world was shrouded in a layer of crimson light, looking extremely eerie.

Lu Pingping had only read about red moons in novels and had never seen a real blood moon before. There are no historical records of a blood moon in human history, so she never imagined she would witness such a moon on this eerie night.

Under the red moonlight, the surrounding scenery appeared both clear and blurry, giving a bizarre, dream-like feeling. Without a clock to display the time, Lu Pingping had no idea what time it was. Using the red moon’s light, she quickly recognized her location: St. Peter’s Basilica, the headquarters of the Western Church. She had indeed crossed half the Earth in an instant, arriving at the distant Western Church Headquarters.

Deep beneath Lu Pingping, two men with combined ages over four thousand years began a life-and-death battle. The devastation of their clash had already reached 500 meters above ground. In an instant, the square in front of the basilica was shaking like an earthquake, the ground splitting with huge cracks. The once towering basilica began to collapse, presenting an apocalyptic scene. Fortunately, this was happening at night, and there were no tourists or workers present; otherwise, there would have been massive casualties.

The pair of white wings did not vanish after taking Lu Pingping out of the underground room. Instead, they continued to flap, carrying her far away. This was arranged by "Who am I" to prevent Lu Pingping from being killed by Contrelas there, which would complete the crucial soul sacrifice, isolating Ye Su from returning to Earth.

Flying in mid-air, Lu Pingping felt a bit dazed, as though everything that happened today was a dream. Then, regret surged through her, realizing the consequences of her actions had surpassed her expectations, as more people became involved in this matter. She could only hope that Yan Fei wouldn’t get caught up in it; if Yan Fei was alarmed and came here, it would mean Yan Fei’s efforts had failed. In that case, she would be guilty beyond redemption.

Wanting to leave quickly, Lu Pingping inadvertently commanded her wings, which flapped rapidly to take her away. Just as she was about to leave the Holy See Headquarters, a red light suddenly shot up from below, hitting one of her wings. The red light sliced downward, severing the wing.

The severed wing immediately exploded, breaking into tiny points of light that drifted downward. As energy lost balance, Lu Pingping’s other wing also burst. Without the wings’ support, Lu Pingping began to fall. Just as she was about to hit the ground, a huge metallic hand suddenly appeared beside her, catching her in its palm, holding her tightly with only her head and legs exposed.

Startled, Lu Pingping looked up and saw a gigantic mechanical monkey in front of her, its eyes glowing red. It was the mechanical monkey from the Ancestral Land. It was its laser weapon that had just destroyed the wings on Lu Pingping’s back.

The mechanical monkey, having captured Lu Pingping, did not apply more force, only restricting her movements. Lu Pingping struggled desperately, but the mechanical monkey’s grip was too strong. She couldn’t escape and could only remain in its grasp. However, luckily, the mechanical monkey had caught her, preventing her from getting hurt.
