In the Heavenly Temple, amidst its beautiful and sacred halls, the Archangel Gabriel was diligently attending to her duties. Two female angels attended to her, occasionally delivering documents that Gabriel had completed to be sent out. 

Since Michael, Raphael, and Uriel had entered the Isolated Barrier Domain, Gabriel had become the sole remaining Archangel, the highest leader of Heaven, and the senior official for all angels. 

Though it seemed like a position of great power and authority, she was burdened with countless tasks every day, bearing the weight of responsibilities once carried by Michael and his peers.

At one moment, Gabriel let out a soft sigh, setting down her pen and wearily leaning back in her chair.

"Gabriel-sama, you've been working for hours without rest. Please take a break," one of the female angels beside her said, moving behind Gabriel to gently massage her head, helping her relax.

"Thank you, Segria."

"It's my greatest honor to serve Gabriel-sama. Compared to the burdens you carry, my tasks are insignificant," Segria replied with devout gentleness, shaking her head.

Just as Gabriel was about to say something, Griselda and several female angels rushed in from outside.

"Gabriel-Sama, something terrible has happened!"

"What's wrong, Griselda?"

It was the first time Gabriel had seen her Royal User - Brave Saint Queen so anxious and frightened. She signaled for Segria to stop the massage and asked what was happening.

"Heaven... many angels outside have disappeared!"

Griselda gasped for breath, and upon hearing this, Gabriel's expression turned pale with shock as she stood up.

"What's going on?"

"I... I don't know, Gabriel-Sama. Please, go see for yourself."

Griselda had an urgent look on her face, and Gabriel understood the seriousness of the situation. Without further questions, she quickly flew out of the temple with several angels.

Although she was somewhat prepared, when she saw the scene outside the temple, even Gabriel couldn't help but turn pale.

"They're disappearing... they're disappearing!"

"Save me! Save me!"

"Oh Lord..."

"No... no..."

"Ahhhhh!"

Cries for help, prayers, and desperate screams echoed in the surroundings...

Heaven had descended into chaos. All male angels' bodies were becoming transparent, then rupturing into countless particles of light shooting up into the sky.

"Hold on!"

Shaken to her core, Gabriel hurried to a male angel who was on the verge of disappearing, wielding a burst of Sacred Power in an attempt to save him. But it was all in vain. The male angel still shattered into countless particles of light and vanished.

"Oh Lord, how could this happen..."

Gabriel and Griselda, along with the other female angels, were pale-faced, helplessly watching as all male angels disappeared before their eyes.

In just a few minutes, Heaven was emptied of most of its inhabitants. Not a single male angel could be seen anymore.

"Gabriel-Sama, there's communication coming from the Human World. Many believers have had their powers forcibly taken away, tens of thousands of believers have died, and others have fallen into comas. Only... only..."

As a communication magic circle appeared near her, Griselda reported to Gabriel, but she stopped abruptly midway through her sentence.

"Only what?!"

With her eyes turning red, the once holy and beautiful Gabriel was now shrouded in an icy aura of rage.

To have taken the lives of so many angels and believers in an instant was unforgivable. Whoever was responsible would not be forgiven!

After hesitating for a moment, Griselda glanced around and continued, "Only the nuns devoted to Belief Holy Lord-sama are safe."

Upon hearing Griselda's words, Gabriel's anger dissipated, and she regained her composure.

"Are the female angels of Heaven also affected?"

Having already had a vague idea of what was happening, Gabriel inquired.

"Yes, only the female angels devoted to Holy Lord Tenraku Sama have survived."

After pondering for a moment, Griselda replied, suddenly understanding.

"So that's how it is..."

A pang of pain flashed in Gabriel's eyes as she closed them.

Only one person in the world could make so many angels disappear and forcibly extract the power of believers. Although Gabriel didn't understand why he, who should have died, had reappeared and committed such insane and cruel acts, it didn't matter anymore. 

Gabriel only knew that if they hadn't changed their belief and chosen Holy Lord-sama, they would have met the same fate as the vanished male angels.

"Griselda, Segria, gather all the remaining angels and nuns," Gabriel ordered upon reopening her eyes.

"Yes!"

Though uncertain of Gabriel-sama's intentions, Griselda and several female angels immediately set out to execute her command.

Standing alone, Gabriel gazed into the distant sky, her eyes cold and clear.

Since that person had abandoned them, she no longer needed to dwell on old feelings. Losing all male angels and countless believers was an immensely heavy blow to them, but it also presented an opportunity...

Meanwhile, within the Isolated Barrier Domain—

The confrontation between Tenraku and the God Of The Holy Bible continued, with two colossal torrents of Golden energy colliding and surging in the void. Tenraku's Golden torrent clearly held the upper hand, pressing against the God Of The Holy Bible's side and causing their Golden torrent to continuously retreat. 

However, at this moment, countless particles surged from beyond the void, merging into the God Of The Holy Bible's Golden torrent. The previously suppressed Golden torrent rapidly swelled.

The tide turned, and the God Of The Holy Bible gradually gained the upper hand, while Tenraku, who had previously held the advantage, found himself increasingly pushed back.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Tenraku's face turned pale.

"To sacrifice all your angels and believers, have you gone mad?!" he roared, unaware of what had happened.

"To defeat you, to bring eternal peace and love to this world, no sacrifice is too great," The God Of The Holy Bible declared resolutely, increasing his strength to thoroughly overwhelm Tenraku.

"Tenraku, do you understand my determination?!"

Although he understood, Tenraku refused to lose.

"I won't lose to you, and I refuse to lose!"

Unable to imagine the consequences of losing here, Tenraku's eyes were also filled with determination.

"My believers, lend me your power!"

With a loud cry, Tenraku's voice resounded in the minds of Asia, Xenovia, and all the believer girls.

"Take our power, Tenraku-Sama..."

Asia and Xenovia placed their hands over their chests, radiating a layer of sacred light.

"Everyone, Holy Lord-Sama needs our power."

In the Church of Saintess, Susan and thousands of believer girls knelt on the ground together...

"Bitches, offer your souls to our master!"

In the Demoness Baptism, Chessia, with a fanatical expression, dragged dozens of fallen angel girls locked with collars around their necks...

"Take it, take it all, take all my power!"

"To seize victory and become the supreme ruler, HahaHahaHaha..."

Somewhere in the Underworld, Katerea, standing among dozens of female sorcerers, burst into maniacal laughter, wielding her own staff towards the sky...

Simultaneously, in the Human World, Underworld, Heaven, and Vampire domains... over a dozen believer girls dispersed throughout the world began to act. They devoutly prayed and worshipped, channeling their power through the threads of Belief to their Holy Lord-Sama.

The depleted Sea of Belief began to fill up again, its immense waves roaring and rolling, while Tenraku's Golden torrent surged larger.

"God Of The Holy Bible, let's settle this once and for all!"

With their respective determinations, the two colossal torrents of Golden energy clashed fiercely in the void, their blinding radiance obscuring everything, and then—

Boom!
