Pantheon Continent, Abyssal Border.
The unique stench of the abyss permeated a radius of dozens of kilometers from top to bottom. If mortals entered it, they would die immediately.
However, in this foul wind that could instantly kill low-level lifeforms, a few beautiful girls with wings passed through.
There were pure white wings on both sides of their bodies, but they were covered in armor. They looked awe-inspiring, and their originally snow-white wings were stained with mottled blood.
At this moment, the angels had murderous expressions on their faces. They held flaming swords and moved forward.
Halfway through, an angel named Elise let out a soft sigh. Her body was covered in blood, and her originally pale golden hair was in a mess.
"Karris, I really don't know when this war will end.
Our sisters fight against the demons in the abyss every day. They have not slept or rested for months. They only killed.
If this continues, I won't be able to tell if I'm an angel or a demon!"
Elise gritted her teeth and her voice was very sharp.
It was obvious that she was tired of the killings over the past few days.
Karris gently waved the flaming sword and shook her head helplessly.
"Don't talk about it, Elise. This is the destiny of the angel race. As soon as we were born, we had to fight endless battles. The fall of the angel kingdom was millions of years ago."
When Elise heard this, she swung her flaming sword fiercely. The flames immediately ignited the ground beside her. The raging flames were just like the anger in her heart, difficult to extinguish.
Destiny?
Elise laughed.
This was not their fate, but the sins of the tyrants.
As the name suggested, the Pantheon Continent was a world ruled by countless gods.
There were countless worlds on this continent, including the Human, Heaven Realm, and Demon Realms.
The Human world was where humans lived, and it was also the main body of the Pantheon Continent. The Heaven Realm was where the gods lived, and the Demon Realm was the headquarters of the demons!
The true rulers of the Heaven Realm were the 12 Main Gods. They possessed unparalleled power and Authority that was limited only by the Divine King.
Millions of years ago, when the Heaven Realm was still ruled by the Divine King, angels were the spokespersons of the Divine Kings. To a certain extent, angels represented the dignity of the Heaven Realm.
At that time, angels were the commanders of the Heaven Realm.
But in an unforeseen event a million years ago, the previous Divine King suddenly fell.
The 12 Main Gods who were originally suppressed by the Divine King saw an opportunity and joined forces to overthrow the old order. The Angel Race, which was the spokesperson of the Divine King, was also purged by the Main Gods.
Without the support of the Divine King, how could the angels resist the Main Gods who had the highest power at that time?
In that purge, the angels fled and suffered heavy casualties. The power of the race suffered a huge blow and was unable to recover from it.
It was also from then on that the twelve Main Gods replaced the Divine King and established the so-called "New Order Heaven Realm".
Millions of years ago, in order to survive, the angel race had no choice but to compromise with the 12 Main Gods.
Although the 12 Main Gods did not exterminate the angels, they sent the angels to the edge of the Heaven Realm, where the Abyss was. They forced the angels to guard the edge of the Heaven Realm for generations!
The so-called Abyss was the passage between the Demon Realm and the Heaven Realm.
Every day, countless demons in the Abyss were restless, wanting to flood into the Heaven Realm and turn this place into the territory of the Demon Realm.
In order to stop the demons from invading, the angels' only choice was to constantly send angels into the Abyss to fight the demons.
It wasn't for the 12 Main Gods' orders, but to protect the order of the Heaven Realm.
Gods and demons did not coexist. This had been the law for millions of years.
Thus, in this endless battle, generations of angels fell, and the power of the angels declined. By Elise's generation, the entire angel race had become the weakest race in the entire Heaven Realm.
Even the dwarfs in the east were more prosperous than their race.
Just as Elise was despairing about the dark future, a six-winged angel named Kayle suddenly pointed forward.
"Everyone, look! What's that?"
The angels all looked in the direction she pointed and saw a ball of light flickering in a corner near the abyss cliff.
Elise was straightforward and said bluntly, "Let's go take a look."
With that, she took the lead and rushed over.
Seeing this, the angels hurriedly followed.
When they approached the ball of light, they realized that it was actually emitted by a baby.
At this moment, the baby was sleeping on a rock. The stench around him did not affect him at all. Even when everyone approached him, the baby did not wake up.
However, everyone could tell that the baby was still alive.
When Karris saw the baby, a smile suddenly bloomed on her bloodstained face.
"It's a baby. It's so cute."
As she spoke, she was about to pick up the baby.
But Kayle stopped her. "Be careful. This is the edge of the abyss. You have to be cautious at all times."
With that, she frowned and walked forward step by step.
There was an inexplicable affinity with the light on the baby that made Kayle feel warm, but years of fighting experience told her never to let her guard down at any time.
Demons also had intelligence. Perhaps this baby was a scheme.
After approaching, Kayle first gently stirred the ball of light with the flaming sword. After observing for a long time and confirming that there was no danger, she picked up the baby.
Her movements were very light. The baby was still sleeping soundly.
As she carried the baby in her arms, the light on the baby's body gradually extinguished.
Only then did Kayle see the little child's face clearly. He had pink eyes, a small nose, and small pink lips like a blooming flower.
Yes, the little guy was indeed quite cute.
Karris couldn't hold back anymore. "Kayle, let me hug him."
As she spoke, she took the baby.
The angels smiled. Karris had no resistance to cute babies.
Elise was calmer and frowned. "Kayle, what should we do with this child?"
Kayle thought for a moment. "When I picked him up just now, I didn't sense any divinity from him, but I felt an inexplicable affinity.
Let's bring him back to the Hall of Justice first."
The leader of this group was Seraph Kayle. No one had any problem with what she said.
So the angels brought the baby back to the Hall of Justice.
The Hall of Justice was the core of the Angel Kingdom. It was where the highest authority of the Angel Kingdom was located.
A mortal baby suddenly appeared at the border of the Abyss. This matter was very strange, so Kayle decided to bring him back.
In the Hall of Justice, the current Archangel Marlena was gathering a group of angel warriors to discuss who would be on duty to guard the Abyss when Kayle returned.
This was not an easy task. Although the average strength of the Abyssal Demons was weaker than that of the angels, many angels would die from excessive battling if they fought for a long time.
Therefore, many angels were hesitating.
Marlena was helpless.
The current angel race had fallen to the bottom. After years of battle, countless angel warriors had fallen, causing the number of their race to decrease.
Millions of years ago, there were three eighteen-winged supreme angels among the angels, and there were countless high-level angels below them.
Now, the highest combat level of the angel race was left with her, a high-level ten-winged angel.
She was the only high-level angel.
If this continued, the entire angel race would disappear in the river of time in less than ten thousand years.
Therefore, she could understand the hesitation of the warriors.
The decline of the race gradually made the angels in this area lose their courage to fight.
However, someone had to guard the abyss.
Just as she was about to personally pick them, an angel guard outside the door came in and reported, "Reporting to the Archangel, Kayle has returned.
Moreover, she brought back a human baby and is waiting outside the hall."
