Among the two angels who landed from the sky, a male angel had four pairs of wings on his back. A faint golden light slowly flowed on the white wings, revealing that he was even more beautiful than the one called Nolanya. The more powerful aura of the female angel. ↖, This male angel is also wearing almost airtight armor. He is even taller than Alphonse in terms of stature. Standing there like a steel tower, people have to look up at him. Another female angel also has three pairs of wings and wears the same style of armor as Nolanya. Not only the armor is the same, but also the temperament is very similar, except that Nolanya is holding a spear in her hand while this female angel is holding a spear in her hand. The tall tower shield, from the pattern and shape of the shield, seems to be integrated with the spear.
"Lord Alkes! It is certain that they are some cultists who worship the devil, and they have been sanctioned in the name of our Lord." Nolanya saluted respectfully.
The male angel named Alkes nodded, and then his eyes fell on Edward and Tia. He also only looked at Tia slightly, and the angel's eyes were fixed on the blood-stained fragments in Edward's arms.
"Who are you? Why are you being hunted by cultists?"
Alkaise's voice was rich and powerful with a special majesty. Edward looked at the angel in front of him who was almost twice as tall as him and felt a strong sense of tension and fear in his heart. However, this tension and fear were different from There is a difference between seeing a cultist and a lion. If the former is just the fear of being enemies in a life-and-death situation, the latter is more like facing elders and unquestionable superiors, like kings and presidents. , which makes people subconsciously fear from the bottom of their hearts.
Edward immediately collected his thoughts and said: "Edward Elric! This is Tia. The cultists kidnapped Tia before and wanted to sacrifice her to the devil┉┉"
The three angels in front of him exuded a powerful aura, which was the aura of the absolute power gap brought by the superior. Edward knew very well that even he and Al could not defeat any of them in their heyday. Not to mention the current situation where one's side has almost lost all its combat power. For this reason, Edward honestly explained everything that happened.
Alkes listened quietly to Edward's statement. When he learned that he dug a tunnel and used groundwater to wash away the altar, although he had doubts about how a child could dig a tunnel, it should be that the devil's altar was destroyed or damaged. In fact, otherwise he and Nolanya would not have felt the power of the abyss permeating this generation during the flight.
A child went to the devil's altar alone and not only rescued the kidnapped people but also destroyed an altar of the devil, although it was only a small altar that had just been established. But being able to destroy it with one person's power is already a great achievement. Thinking of this, even Alkaise, as an angel, can't help but appreciate the mortal in front of him a little more.
"Then why are you acting together with an undead?" But appreciation is appreciation, and there are some things that Alkes still needs to figure out, especially for these dead people who should not appear in the world of the living. .
Al!
Edward was suddenly shocked, and even Alphonse was very surprised. Alphonse didn't say a word after the angel arrived, but the other party seemed to have seen through everything and recognized Alphonse at a glance when his soul was attached.
"He...he is my brother." Facing the tremendous pressure brought by the angel, Edward had to whisper.
"Hello, Mr. Alkes." Alphonse, who had a broken blood seal, could only say a muffled greeting in this situation.
"Brother?" A trace of doubt flashed in Alkes' eyes: "You are not a necromancer, and there is no unique death breath of the dead in your body. Why did your brother become an undead?"
Edward shook his head and seemed disgusted that the angel in front of him called his brother undead: "Al is not undead. He is still alive. It was just an accident that caused Al to lose his body. I have been looking for a way to restore Al's body."
“┉┉┉┉”
Alkaise was suddenly silent for a moment when faced with Edward's answer. After a moment, the powerful angel slowly spoke: "I believe what you said for the moment, but your brother has lost his body even though he is attached to the steel with magic. If he survives, his current condition will still be that of a dead person in the eyes of the living.”
"I can find a way to restore Al's body!!"
Edward hugged the blood-stained fragments in his arms tightly and shouted, "In an instant!" A strange luster flashed in Alkaise's eyes, and a powerful force instantly locked onto Edward. Xiaodouzi swallowed what he wanted to say back into his mouth. Not only was he talking, Edward even felt as if his body was being squeezed by an invisible force, unable to move at all. Immediately afterwards, Alkes waved his hand lightly, and the blood-stained fragments immediately floated in mid-air and flew in front of him.
In an instant, Edward struggled like a mother animal that had lost its cubs. Alkes looked at Edward and then at Alphonse: "No matter what the cause or reason is, giving the deceased peace is the right thing to do. , reversing life and death is a twisted delusion.”
After speaking, Alkaise held the blood mark fragment in mid-air, and a golden flame rose from Alkaise's palm. The blood mark on the fragment burned by the flame began to become blurry.
"Brother┉┉"
Alphonse's voice coming from the blood seal seemed to disappear little by little along with the blood seal. Alkes watched all this indifferently, and no matter how much Edward roared and asked to stop, Alkes turned a deaf ear.
At this moment, an unexpected figure rushed over from the side. In the eyes of Alkes, the petite figure was slow and the power it possessed was not worth mentioning at all, but it was full of determination and a look of risk-taking at all costs. Alkes didn't stop him, although it was just a matter of his own mind to stop the other party.
Tia pounced on Alphonse's fragments. Ignoring the severe pain caused by the flames burning her body, the girl tightly pressed the blood mark fragments under her body in an attempt to extinguish the flames above.
"Tiya!!" Edward and Al's voices sounded at the same time.
The flames burned the skin and caused pain, but it did not cause any scars on Tiya's body. Even her beautiful long hair was not damaged at all. Tia screamed in pain in the flames, but the girl still held Alphonse's blood mark tightly under her body without letting go. It wasn't until Tiya's body slowly floated a burst of black smoke in the flames that Alkes finally slowly lowered his hand in emotion, and the golden flames also disappeared without a trace.
"Courage and perseverance worthy of praise. But you mistakenly believed in the god of hypocrisy. The anger of this god will not burn your body but will test your soul." Alkes looked at Tia's words word by word. Said: "Being able to withstand the test of the holy flame for such a long time is enough to prove that your soul is still pure and innocent. I give you a choice. Are you willing to be saved, abandon the teachings of the hypocritical god, and return to the embrace of our Lord?"
"Lord Alkes! Such a faithless person┉┉"
The female angel on the side asked with a puzzled tone, and Alkes just waved her hand to signal her to be quiet for the time being.
After a long time, Tiya finally recovered and raised her head to look at the angel in front of her. The girl's eyes were full of confusion. In the most desperate moment, she had prayed and hoped that the goddess of ice and snow could save her, but in the end she came to save her. It's an angel from the Holy See. Yes! Although she was just a maid, Tiya still recognized the emblem on the angel's armor, which represented the emblem of Ishtar, the goddess of the Eastern Holy See. Tia was really sad and confused to be saved by the Holy See, which she originally regarded as her enemy, instead of the goddess she believed in. Why did the goddess of ice and snow not send a messenger to save herself, Edward and Al? Could it be that the goddess was just watching coldly in the divine realm? Is that all this
"Please don't hurt Alphonse and Edward? They are not bad people. Edward just wants to save his brother." Tia did not directly answer Alkes' question, but just asked in a sad tone.
"The undead cannot exist in this world, they will only bring disaster to the living!"
"But Al didn't do anything bad! He and Edward saved me. They're both good people!"
Alkes shook his head: "The living and the dead do not belong to the same world. The alternation of life and death is the rule of this world. Mortals are not allowed to reverse life and death, otherwise the balance of this world will be broken, and the whole world will eventually There will be a day when I will be overwhelmed by the lamentations and tombstones of the dead. As the messenger of our Lord, it is my duty to send all the souls back to the darkness!"
"Please wait┉┉I'm not dead, I just lost my body. If I can get my body back and resurrect, I will just grow up and age and die as an ordinary person. I don't want to live forever┉┉"
Alkes still didn't let go: "No matter what happened to you before, your life was over when you became like this. Do you want to pursue an unreachable goal and let your brother always run for you? Go down?"
"I┉┉" Al was silent for a moment.
"Don't listen to him Al!!"
Alkes looked at Alphonse calmly: "It is the right thing to choose to rest in peace and give the future time to your brother. Otherwise, your brother will be forever bound by you as the deceased."
Regardless of Edward's angry cries. Alkes stepped forward and gently lifted Tia. The girl stared at the majestic angel in front of her in fear but hugged the blood seal fragment tightly. She had no strength, no fighting, no magic. , no magic! The only thing he could do was pray.
But why┉┉why┉┉
"Why didn't the god you believed in come to save you?" As if he had seen through Tia's thoughts, Alkes took away the blood seal fragment and said: "Because only my Lord can truly guide this world towards a better future." The teachings of the Formal, False God are full of unrealistic fantasies and history will prove this.”
Tiya fell to the ground, her eyes filled with emptiness as if she had lost her soul.
Alkes watched all this silently. Just when the flame in his hand was about to rise again, a polar cold wind suddenly blew over and instantly turned into a freezing blizzard. Even the heat from the spear in the hand of the female angel Nolanya could not dispel the snowstorm. 's attack.
"The goddess's teachings are not utopian! Your 'normality' is just a twisted delusion obtained by abandoning and squeezing the weak!"
With a scolding, a crack appeared in the sky, and Serena, the chief priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess, appeared in front of everyone accompanied by a blizzard. (To be continued... Welcome to Qidian.com () to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation...)
