With his enemy totally immobilized, Chris flies up high towards the Thousand Hands with the enhanced version of Ten Thousand Bucks Free Gift in his hand. With near lightspeed, he reached the vortex and aggressively 'sliced' all the gigantic hands into tiny dices. After all the gigantic hands got sliced, the Thousand Hands is obviously weakened and slowly retracted as the vortex portal slowly closed.
However, the Thousand Hands is not the only one that got weakened, Chris as well. His wing is slowly scattering and disappearing, blood can be seen dripping out from his lips. To makes things worse, the effect of the God of Misfortune on Chris still exists... I mean... The Thousand Hands is unwilling to accept its defeat, with the last bit of its magic and energy, it released one last magic beam toward Chris who is very near to it. Noticing the coming attack from his dying enemy, he strengthened the barrier around the secret base as well as put up a strong barrier for Sky and Maria before closed his eyes with his arms wide open, he had decided to block that final deadly blow from the Thousand Hands with his own body...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suddenly, Chris felt an overpowering present blocked in front of him, he opened his eyes and saw that familiar well built rear view of a man, it's Sky. Sky who is merged with Seiryu guarded in front of Chris and blasted off the magic beam along with the Thousand Hand back into the vortex portal with his overpowered magic blast.
Seeing the vortex portal slowly disappearing, Chris smiled in relief before starting to descend as his wings had totally gone, Sky immediately caught him in hand, stopping him from crushing himself to the ground.
"As I promised you before, I am not going to let the same thing happen to you twice in front of my eyes." said Sky as Chris slowly lost his consciousness...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few hours after the fierce battle with the Thousand Hands.
Excluding the injured members and the healing units, everyone is working hard on cleaning up the mess that left by that fierce battle, particularly that huge flesh membrane wall that had been torn apart by Sky's magic blast as well as the remnant of the gigantic chubby translucent humanoid creatures that had been partially melted and charred by Maria's demonic fire that still continues to burn.
Unlike their usual behavior, none of them are complaining about the messy jobs, all of them are doing the cleaning quietly, including Bob.
In the Secret Base, Dominic is doing all the healing under Ben's instructions with the help of Nathan and Silvia. Despite that he himself is not in a good condition, Ben monitored every action of Dominic to ensure everything is in order, he even forced himself to stay conscious through the consumption of two bottles of the teal drug that is prohibited by Chris.
"Dr. Ben, please get a rest, you are definitely not in a good condition." said Silvia who is worried about Ben.
"No... I can't, each of them has a different body built and need different types of treatment... Especially for Chris... *cough*... he is immune to most of the healing magic... Conservative type of treatment would not work..." said Ben, a bit out of breath and slightly coughing.
"But Dr. Ben..."
"Don't worry, we will be having a very long rest after this." said Ben, as he slowly adjusted his breath.
Meanwhile, at the other side of the infirmary.
Dominic is currently treating some serious burn injury on Maria.
"I see... So you were born with this demonic fire magic." said Dominic as he purified the wounded area on Maria's body that is somehow 'contaminated' by the demonic aura.
"Mmm... I should have told you earlier, but... It's not an easy thing to tell, especially to a mighty angel like you." said Maria, in a totally different tone than usual, it is very obvious that he is exhausted.
"It's alright, I don't really mind about that, it's not like you are given any choice about that, right? I believe no one would like to bear this kind of nasty backfire. But seriously, this backfires effect is really something that is worth of your concern. It can be life threatening after all." said Dominic, rather concerned.
"Mmm..." Maria nodded...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That night, Dominic and Nathan did not return to Quill Town and stayed in the Secret Base for a night, Maria let them stay in his room since Sky is in the infirmary and he doesn't feel like sleeping alone, thus he slept in the infirmary as well.
While in Maria's room, Nathan has a little talk with Dominic before going to bed.
"Your Grace, if Brother Maria used demonic magic, does that makes him a demon?" Nathan asked, in an innocent tone.
"Well, I am sorry, I don't have the answer to that question." said Dominic.
"Hmm... But even if he is a demon, he is a good demon. I guess not every demon is bad, right?" Nathan asked.
"Yes. You are right." said Dominic.
"Your Grace, if Brother Maria is a Demon, is it reasonable that Brother Chris is an angel? Although those red wings definitely don't look like angel wings." said Nathan.
"Well, I am very not very sure about that, and you are right, despite having some angel gene, his wings definitely don't look like angel wings. But then, I think I had finally found out about their real identity which makes me feel so silly right now, what an unbelievable turn of events." said Dominic with an awkward smile.
"Your Grace? What do you mean by that?" Nathan asked.
"Haha... You are too young to know that." said Dominic as he patted Nathan's head...

Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
