The Final Battle (21)

"What… what is going on?" Nangong Xue asked in astonishment.

"It’s a special effect unlocked when the Lord of Time and Space’s favorability reaches ten points. Once a day, it restores you to your body’s absolute peak!" Ken said calmly.

"It’s that powerful?" Nangong Xue’s eyes lit up as she asked eagerly, "Does everyone gain a special effect like this after reaching ten points?"

"I’m not sure about that! Probably!" Ken said uncertainly. So far, she had not seen any other angel reach ten favorability points and unlock a special effect, so she did not know whether everyone would unlock one upon reaching ten points.

"Angelina, we need to work hard. This special effect is truly incredible. Returning to peak condition once a day—it’s such a powerful trump card!" Nangong Xue said.

"Mm! Let’s work hard together!" Angelina nodded. She was somewhat unwilling to accept it as well. Her Lord of Time and Space favorability was only at six points so far, still nearly halfway from ten. But this final wave of attacks before her was her last opportunity. As long as she could hold out for an hour, she might reach ten points.

"The three of us will form a triangular battle formation with ourselves as the core and resist the Behemoth Mecha Legion together!" Angelina said solemnly. "Do not underestimate the Behemoth Legion. Individually, they may be weaker than us, perhaps even weaker than the Archangel Mechas piloted by Two-winged Angels. But there are enough of them that their actual Combat Power far surpasses that of the War Tiger Mechas and Demon Dragon Mechas. We must treat them with caution."

"Don’t worry!"

In the distance, the Behemoth Legion’s mechas had all taken the field. Every one of them was in the form of a golden ape, with powerful limbs and savage faces, as terrifying as real monstrous beasts.

"It’s starting, it’s starting! The final battle we’ve all been waiting for has begun!" the rabbit-eared man shouted. "Now, let us wait and see. On my command—the final battle begins!"

At the referee’s command, the majestic golden Behemoth Legion began striding forward one by one, advancing on the angels step by step like a landslide and tsunami. Every step was heavy. It was not only because the Behemoth Mechas themselves were immensely heavy—their nearly hundred-meter height alone gave them tremendous weight—but also because they carried the might of their battle formation within them.

The distance of several kilometers vanished in an instant. The Behemoth Mechas towered far above the Archangels, yet their agility was not much inferior to that of the Archangel Mechas.

"Kill!"

"Fight!"

"Hah!"

The angels roared and raised their golden longswords, clashing with the Behemoth Mechas.

Boom…

Rumble…

Crack…

The sounds of battle rang out across the battlefield. The Behemoth Mechas were huge, obvious targets. Although they moved quite nimbly, they could not compare with the Archangels in agility. In short-range maneuvering, the Archangels still held the advantage.

Moreover, with three Six-winged Angels serving as spearheads, they actually managed to withstand the charge of the Behemoth Mechas’ battle formation and stabilize the angels’ defensive formation.

Roar…

The Behemoth Mechas let out savage roars. Their weapons were actually their fists—no blades, no swords. They simply swung their fists down. Those overwhelmingly massive fists tore through the air; before the sound could even catch up, the fists had already crossed space and slammed into the Archangels.

With a sharp crack, the struck Archangel Mecha immediately caved in. It had clearly lost its ability to fight, and the Two-winged Angel piloting it had no chance of survival either.

At the very beginning of the clash, the angels paid a grievous price.

"Die!" A cold glint flashed across Emilia’s face. With a nimble leap, she arrived before the Behemoth Mecha and slashed her sword across it, forcibly severing the Behemoth Mecha’s head.

As its head fell, the Behemoth Mecha immediately stopped moving. However, only its legs had stopped. Its arms were still in motion, swinging their fists as they continued smashing toward her.

"Hmph!" Emilia snorted. As a Four-winged Angel, her strength was far beyond that of ordinary Two-winged Angels. Her body moved again, and with two swift slashes, she cut off both arms of the Behemoth Mecha. She then arrived at the broken neck, extended her left hand, and fired an antimatter cannon. The entire cockpit vanished, let alone its pilot.

"These Behemoth Mechas really are formidable. Even I have to use my full strength and strike several times to kill one completely. Ordinary angels would be fortunate just to survive the siege of several Behemoth Mechas." Emilia frowned at the wreckage. "But there are simply too many of them. Can we truly hold out for an hour?"

As she thought this, Emilia turned her gaze into the distance. There, at the forefront of the three spearheads, three angels with overwhelming auras were fighting—it was Angelina and the other two.

Angelina was responsible for the left wing, Nangong Xue for the right wing, while Ken, the strongest among them, held the center.

The three were indeed immensely powerful. Even the formidable Behemoth Mechas could not stop them in the slightest. Every strike sent a Behemoth Mecha crashing down. The triangular spearhead was the fiercest part of the battlefield, and also the point the Behemoth Legion found most impossible to breach.

"The commander has given the order! The ten captains will split into two groups and hold back the angels’ left and right wings. The commander will personally intercept the powerful angel in the center! Everyone else, attack the other angels with all your strength. We must end this battle within an hour!"

A gloomy voice sounded through the Behemoth Mechas’ internal channel, followed by voices of agreement.

At once, the angels, who had only just stabilized their defensive battle formation, immediately sensed a change in the Behemoth Legion. Their attacks had become even fiercer.

"Void Leap!" A Behemoth Mecha flickered, then appeared out of thin air before an angel. One punch sent the Archangel Mecha flying.

"Not good, it’s Spatial Power!" Elina’s heart jolted as she watched her companion get sent flying beside her. The Behemoth Mechas actually possessed spatial abilities. This was truly terrible news.

"Void Leap!"

Just as Elina was about to move toward the fallen Archangel Mecha, she discovered another Behemoth Mecha appearing before her. It had also used a spatial ability to leap over, swinging its fist straight at her!

"Angel Armor!"

At the critical moment, Elina immediately activated Angel Armor to defend herself!

Fortunately, Angel Armor successfully blocked the attack. Elina was sent flying, but she did not suffer a devastating blow!

She looked up at the battlefield and saw Behemoth Mecha after Behemoth Mecha appearing out of thin air within the angels’ battle formation. Before Spatial Power, the formation had become completely useless!

Despair appeared on Elina’s face. How could they possibly win a battle like this!? How could they possibly hold out for an hour!?
