The Grand Palhalas Hotel, located in the center of Angus City, had become a temporary shrine after the magical remodeling by the Supreme followers of the Divine Creator God. With the hotel as the focal point, over a hundred thousand Supreme Divine Race were gathered.
Ninety thousand of these were Battle Angels, ten thousand were Deities, while the remaining several hundred were elite shock troops, Valkyries. The Abyss Demon Coalition, their opponents, numbered over a million; even the Abyss Creator was present. With such a powerful commander at the scene, the abyss demons no longer charged in mindlessly. The Coalition’s battle power rose by several grades.
Now, the two sides were stalled out because the Supreme Divine Race had mysteriously lost a squad of over 100 Battle Angels. The Abyss Insect Demons they had been easily suppressing earlier had somehow successfully launched a sneak attack, wiping out an entire squadron of Battle Angels.
The top floor of the Grand Palhalas Hotel had been remodeled into an open-air throne room for the Creator God. The avatar of the Divine Creator God sat on a throne made out of pure gold in the center of the room as he surveyed his troops.
Only troops on the level of the Valkyries were allowed in this throne room because the Divine Creator God thought that the Battle Angles and the Deities were ugly. Bella had correctly guessed that the Divine Creator God had purposely designed them this way in order to showcase his uniqueness.
Within the throne room, silver-haired intermediate-grade Valkyries stood guard. Outside, the room was defended by golden-haired junior-grade Valkyries. Kneeling in front of the Divine Creator God, several dozen high-grade Valkyries were reporting the situation.
“O Great Divine Father, our tribesmen have been murdered by evil insects. Please allow me to avenge them.”
“Divine Father, the Abyss Creator appears to be planning an even larger assault. Please give us your orders.”
“I see, you girls will continue guarding my throne room. You will not go back to battle without my orders. The evils of this world cannot linger much longer. Justice’s judgment is inevitable!”
The Divine Creator God stopped the high-level Valkyries. His primary purpose was to solidify his foothold in this dimension in order to pave the way to conquer the rest of this world. With the resources of two worlds under his control, he would have more than enough power to defeat the Darkness Creator God.
The real enemies of the Supreme Divine Race weren’t the Abyss Demons; it was the Apex Demon Race under the command of the Darkness Creator God. If they fought these Abyss Demons to a bloody stalemate, the only beneficiaries would be the Apex Demon Race. The Darkness Creator God hadn’t come to this plane yet, which meant now was a valuable time for the Divine Creator to prepare.
He inwardly complained that the Insect Empress Vicky Hill had changed sides in an instant. The Great Old One, Cthulu Saya, and the Master of Darkness, Ira Klaus, were even more shameless than him. Although they were in conflict with Vicky Hill earlier, they were still able to easily enter Angus City.
He only needed a few more days to solidify his hold on the dimensional gate. Then, he would be able to erupt with power and show those Abyss Demons how vast the sky truly was. As things stood, unless an extremely powerful outsider sabotaged him, nothing could stop him from controlling the dimensional gate.
The temporary Divine Territory that the Divine Creator God had formed with his power could only support a little over 100,000 Supreme Divine Race tribesmen. Once he fully controlled the gate, the millions of Supreme Divine Race troops on the other side would be free to charge through. First, he would conquer the human continent, then the rest of this world.
The Divine Race of this world had already gone extinct, with no signs of resurgence. It was better if he and his Supreme Divine Race took over that hole and became the new rulers of this world. The Divine Creator God had calculated every possibility, except for the variable that was Bella.
After annihilating the squad of Battle Angels, Bella used them for several experiments. She almost couldn’t stop laughing. The “Hand of Creation” that the Creator of Darkness, Mystica, had gifted her was the bane of divine artifacts. Any divine artifact that she squeezed in her gloved left hand would instantly disintegrate.
The two-winged Battle Angels that could initially fight her to a stalemate were now dead to Bella in less than ten moves. Kriss and Lisha took care of half of the 100 men squad, whereas Bella killed the rest by herself.
With a crisp snap, Bella easily used her left hand, clad in the “Hand of Creation”, to destroy a four-winged Battle Angel’s divine artifact, a “Divine Sword of Judgement”. Before the angel could react, Bella clamped down on its wings and, with a strong wrench, ripped it off.
“Despicable, that you fallen humans would…”
Kriss charged at it from behind. With a flash of her dual blades, she lopped off both of the angel’s hands. Lisha was last. She rammed into the angel with an enormous shield, sending it flying into a wall.
The four-winged Battle Angel was crushed into the wall before it exploded into a mist of golden blood. All of the Battle Angels that had four or more wings were able to self detonate. As soon as they perished, they would explode, proving a headache to fight. With the death of the four-winged angel, the last of the Battle Angel assault squad had fallen at the hands of Bella, Kriss, and Lisha.
Bella had come to understand a bit more about these Divine Race troops from a different dimension. They relied too much on divine artifacts, though she still didn’t know much about the Valkyries. However, she could confirm that Battle Angels and Deities both heavily relied on divine artifacts for their battle strength. Once their dependency was destroyed, they would become weak trash, regardless of their original level of power.
They were simply a mass-produced product, and their standards were low. However, each of their divine artifacts would be worth several thousand gold coins. In the battle just now, Bella had destroyed tens of thousands of gold worth of divine artifacts.
“Big Sis Bella, your glove is too outrageous! Do you have another one to give me?”
“Little Lisha, I can’t just lend this out on a whim. I don’t have another one; how about I give a different gift when we get back, okay?”
Bella replied to her cute little sister while also analyzing the remains of the battlefield. Besides their divine artifacts, the Battle Angels didn’t have anything else on them. She didn’t know whether they were rich or poor. Perhaps they were poor to the point of only having their divine artifacts left? Bella thought that was rather pitiful.
“Bella, there are over 100,000 Divine Race tribesmen on the other side. Even though we share the same language, they still look hostile. What’s your plan? Just the three of us ambushing them over and over again isn’t enough.”
Bella felt a bit pinched for time with Kriss’s reminder. While leaving Kurus City to come here, they had heard rumors that the Aldridge Empire was planning to cooperate with the Radiant Church to unleash the Grand Forbidden Magic of Light, “Judgement of God”. Bella had to take care of the situation here before the forbidden magic was unleashed.
Not only that but with the original identity of the Abyss Creator here, a “Judgement of God” powered by those weaklings of the Radiant Church wouldn’t harm a single Abyss Demon. Bella was worried that if everyone saw the ineffectiveness of the “Judgement of God”, they would panic. Especially if they closed down the academies, her precious, entertaining school life that she had just recovered would be lost once again.
“Kriss, your hair, en…. I thought of a great plan. Follow me!”
Bella decided that the tried and tested method of “infiltration” was their best bet. They would avoid open combat and directly take out the avatar of the Divine Creator God. Afterward, they would destroy the Divine Territory in the Grand Palhalas Hotel, leaving the rest to Vicky Hill and her demons.
Their main objective was still to destroy the dimensional gate. Bella and the girls ducked into an alley before reemerging at a different street, clad in grey cloaks as they entered the Divine Territory from a different direction.
The Divine Territory in Angus City didn’t change much, besides making the atmosphere cleaner and increasing the ambient light magic density.
Bella didn’t like the overbearing feeling of the Divine Creator God’s light magic, however. It made the three girls feel as if they were directly under the sun’s glare. Comparatively, the Creator of Light Vianne’s light magic felt like the sun’s warm caress. Clearly, in terms of power level, Vianne far surpassed the Divine Creator God.
The streets were void of patrolling Battle Angels and Deities. They were both aerial troops and avoided the ground unless absolutely necessary. Hence, the girls went unobstructed as they soon arrived at the entrance of the Grand Palhalas Hotel.
Bella and the girls didn’t encounter a single Battle Angel or Deity patrol on their way. The Supreme Divine Race was blindly confident in their Divine Creator God’s abilities. They believed that no demon would dare enter this Divine Territory. Thus, Bella, Kriss, and Lisha were able to smoothly arrive at their destination, the Grand Palhalas Hotel.
From here on, security would be much tighter. Valkyries wearing white robes guarded the perimeter of the Divine Palace. These golden-haired junior-grade Valkyries wore pure-white, partially-translucent battle robes. They each wielded two divine artifacts: a spear, “Valkyr’s Spear”, and a shield, “Tranquil Guard”. With such powerful equipment, they were on par with eight-winged Battle Angels.
Bella even saw a few silver-haired intermediate-grade Valkyries. They had beautiful purple irises and were equipped with a sword, “Valkyr’s Wrath”, and shield, “Corona’s Brilliance”. Their divine artifacts gave them the power to rival the most powerful ten-winged angels.
The junior- and intermediate-grade Valkyries’ equipment bore traces of mass production. Even though the Divine Creator God had personally created these Valkyries, he had skimped on their equipment.
The only Valkyries that possessed their own unique Divine Artifacts were those high-grade Valkyries. They were stronger than even Platinum Deities and Ten-Winged Battle Angels. With their outfits, they were the core battle force of the Divine Creator God. Naturally, they wouldn’t be wasted on something as simple as standing guard.
These high-grade Valkyries each possessed unique equipment, from their weapons to their armor. In total, there were only 32 high-grade Valkyries. The Divine Creator God had brought 16 of them, half of their whole number. The remaining half guarded the other side of the Dimensional Gate, preventing anyone from taking advantage of the Divine Creator God’s absence.
The Valkyries guarding the perimeter of the Divine Palace didn’t have fixed positions. Instead, they constantly patrolled back and forth. Each patrol squad consisted of two or more junior-grade Valkyries, plus an intermediate-grade Valkyrie. A certain distance away from the Divine Palace, a squad of patrolling Valkyries was about to return before going on their next route.
At this moment, the squad leader, an intermediate-grade Valkyrie, suddenly caught the scent of a Battle Angel’s blood. With her sharp gaze, she saw a torn pair of wings from a four-winged Battle Angel, covered with golden blood.
Four-winged Battle Angels were on a different level from the two-winged Battle Angel cannon fodder. For one to perish within the Divine Territory, the enemy couldn’t be underestimated. This particular patrol squad consisted of five junior-grades, led by an intermediate-grade Valkyrie. The captain sent two members to investigate, while the rest watched from afar, alert for any ambushes.
As soon as the two Valkyries rounded the corner, they were attacked by three grey-cloaked girls. On reflex, one of the Valkyries raised her “Valkyr’s Spear” to stab at one of the ambushers. However, a black-gloved hand reached out and grabbed the spear.
In a split second, the high-grade divine artifact, “Valkyr’s Spear”, was ripped to pieces. The attacker followed up with another grab, shattering the Valkyrie’s raised shield, “Tranquil Guard”. That black-gloved hand then reached over and landed on the Valkyrie’s right shoulder.
An arousing scene occurred next. Under that gloved grasp, the Valkyrie’s white battle robes turned to dust. This was a perfect disrobing, and even her inner clothes had been destroyed. The effect was comparable to the legendary clothing explosion.
Bella had never imagined that the “Hand of Creation” would have this sort of heavenly effect. It was influenced by the wielder’s inner wishes. Bella wanted to see these Valkyries’ clothes explode off of their body, so the glove responded. If her desires were more upstanding, perhaps an even crueler outcome would have occurred, with the Valkyrie exploding along with her clothes.
This explosive stripping move wasn’t all-powerful, though. If the opponent was ready, it would be hard to land this attack since they could just avoid the gloved hand. These two Valkyries were unfortunate enough to be the first to taste the power of this move.
The naked Valkyrie reacted like any girl would—instantly covering up her chest instead of rousing her battle aura. She mistook the three cloaked ambushers as men, which cost the two Valkyries their lives. If she knew that their attackers were girls, she wouldn’t have covered up in shame, losing their last chance to retaliate.
Bella swiftly knocked her out with a single knife-handed blow. Lisha snuck up behind the other Valkyrie and wrapped her arms around her waist, holding her in place as Kriss pressed her sword down on the Valkyrie’s divine shield.
Stepping forward, Bella grabbed the Valkyrie’s robes. Like before, her clothes exploded into nothing, and she was knocked out shortly after. By the time the two regained consciousness, they were already inside the “Corpse Stasher’s Gift”. Bella took off their golden masks and saw that they were both the golden standard of “blond beauty”. Their chests were even larger than Bella’s teacher, Dragon Knight Ingrid.
Their bodies were curvaceous, and their pale white skin was flawless. On top of that, the feeling of their skin was delightful. The Divine Creator God didn’t disappoint Bella; the Valkyries’ appearances matched her sense of beauty. These were only junior-grade Valkyries too. Their superiors would be even better.
After safely stashing the two Valkyries, she and Lisha changed into counterfeit Valkyrie battle robes. The two sisters were both blond-haired and blue-eyed, perfect for disguising as junior-grade Valkyries. Only high-grade Valkyries didn’t wear masks. Intermediate and junior-grade Valkyries identified each other by their face masks.
In order to be even safer, Bella made Kriss wear a set of counterfeit Valkyrie battle robes. This was because Lisha’s figure was too different from the two Valkyries they had ambushed. Bella was worried that the other Valkyries would suspect their identities.
Kriss had silver hair and purple eyes, a perfect match for an intermediate-grade Valkyrie. Bella decided that Kriss would pretend to be their captain. This way, as long as the captain didn’t object to Lisha’s figure, the other three Valkyries wouldn’t be able to bring anything up either.
The intermediate-grade Valkyrie squad captain wasn’t too cautious. Bella, in the guise of a Valkyrie, beckoned her to come around the corner so she could give her a private report. The Valkyrie captain simply left the other three Valkyries in place and walked over.
