On the same morning, Ye Zi was doing some restorative exercises in the open space in the yard.
Her wounds had not yet healed, but she was eager to join the battle. A shadow was hanging over their small office. When she was fighting those enemies, she fully felt their strength and ruthlessness. If Metatron had not been by her side at that time, the consequences would be disastrous.
So, not only her, but everyone here wants to become stronger.
"Your boxing style is scattered, what are you thinking about?"
Ye Zi looked up and found Mei sitting cross-legged on the fork of a big tree in the garden. "There have been so many things going on lately, and they keep popping into my mind. Why are you here again?"
"You are the one I have set my sights on as my disciple. How can I not take a closer look at you? I am excited just thinking about becoming the mentor of a future Valkyrie."
"Again, I'm not a Valkyrie."
"You are such a stubborn person. It's a pity that whether you become a Valkyrie or not is not necessarily up to you to decide." Mei smiled, looking like she could do nothing about it.
Ye Zi gave up arguing and asked, "Doesn't Javier need your protection anymore?"
"As for him, I left him with that fellow Gabriel. He is the real mentor of little Javier. As for me, I said I was going out to play and would be away from the Tower of Shining Wings for a while. By the way, I talked to Master Xiao Chen and asked him to prepare a room for me here."
Ye Zi knew that Mei did this to protect and guide her, so she said with gratitude: "Thank you! I didn't know that I was so important to you."
Mei waved her hand and said, "It's just me. If it were someone else in the Tower of Shining Wings, including those who inherited the artifacts, they might not care about you. They might even think you're a big trouble."
"Why?"
Mei jumped down from the tree and stood in front of Ye Zi: "Because of time, nothing can escape the erosion of time, including human hearts. We war angels are also human beings. The War of the Gods has been over for too long. Generations have been replaced, but no one has listened to the teachings of the God of War. How many people do you expect to remain loyal to their ancestors? In essence, we are just warriors and mages with ancient heritage, divine weapons, and dual cultivation of magic and martial arts."
"Yes, that's the truth. In my hometown, many organizations, groups, and even countries have gradually lost the original intentions when they were established."
"The Tower of Shining Wings holds a ceremony to honor the God of War every year, but fewer and fewer people participate. Apart from the person who is picked to preside over the ceremony every year in the Angel Council, the inheritors of other artifacts have little interest in this 'antique'. Oh, by the way, I get sick every time there is a ceremony, and I haven't participated in it for many years."
"Then why do you still treat me like this?"
"As for me, anyway, we grew up listening to the stories of the God of War and the Valkyrie. When I was very young, I wanted to become a new Valkyrie, but the Tower of Shining Wings did not have any Valkyrie inheritance, so I could only become Metatron.
When I first saw you take out the anti-shadow gun, a thought flashed through my mind: should I kill you and take the gun away? "
"Then should I thank you for not killing me?" Ye Zi said with a sneer.
"Even the best people can have evil thoughts. What I want to say is that when you are not strong enough, others will have all kinds of thoughts about you. You can only rely on the mercy of others for your fate. If you are a saint, who would have such thoughts?"
"I know, I know, I'm training." Ye Zi waved her hand, and the shadow gun appeared in her hand.
"Looking at this gun reminds me of all the stories I've read. I really want to take a look at the scenes of the battle."
"Speaking of this, after I got this gun, I saw a lot of fragments of the scene. Among them was a fierce battle. Many war angels like you and the owner of this gun fought against the elves, priests, and dragons together." Ye Zi said.
Mei suddenly became excited: "Tell me in detail what kind of scene you saw!"
Ye Zi narrated what happened according to his memory.
Mei asked a lot of detailed questions, and finally sighed: "This should be the last battle between the God of Nature and the God of War in the War of the Gods, known as the Cloud Peak Decisive Battle. At that time, the God of War had fallen, and the God of Nature was also injured and asleep, but the Valkyrie still led everyone to fight the enemy. The enemy at that time was very powerful, including priests and temple warriors of the Temple of Nature, the elves of the God of Nature, and the pet dragon of the God of Nature. The Valkyrie killed the Queen of the Elf, but she also fell under the siege of the elves and the dragon.
However, at the last moment, she blew up her body and all the divine weapons on her body, and almost all the holy priests and elf saints who besieged her Temple of Nature were killed on the spot. This gave the war angels a chance to counterattack. At that time, there were still five high-ranking angels left. With the help of their divine weapons, they all had combat power beyond the holy rank. They led the remaining war angels to defeat the coalition forces of the Temple of Nature and the elves. "
"I didn't expect that the angels would win in the end of that battle."
"It was a very painful victory. Only four of the fourteen high-ranking angels remained. Countless casualties were suffered by the remaining middle-ranking and lower-ranking angels. By the end of the battle, there were less than a hundred angels left. Moreover, of the fourteen high-ranking angels who possessed divine weapons, five had their artifacts destroyed. Only nine of them have survived to this day."
"Metatron is one of them, right?"
"Of course, the other eight are Gabriel, Uriel, Lafayette, Sariel, Remiel, Abidel, Anar, and Muriel."
“These names sound familiar.”
"Hmm? Your memory of the Valkyrie has awakened?"
"No, but in my hometown, there are also these angels with different names, although they may be a little different." Ye Zi thought to herself, Gabriel should be Gabriel? The names of the other people are exactly the same. Although she doesn't know much about religion, she has seen these names in many works. It seems that this is another evidence of the connection between this world and the previous world
Mei said with some pride: "However, the losses of the elves and the Temple of Nature are greater than ours. Of the eight elven elders under the Elf Queen, only one is left. Of the twelve Golden Branch Priests of the Temple of Nature, only two are left. Half of them were killed by the Valkyries. It is because of the sacrifice of the Valkyries that we have this victory, the subsequent ceasefire and compromise, and the Tower of Shining Wings. So you know why I worship Ye Ying, the Valkyrie?"
