Chapter 185 -185-The Choice Between Survival and Glory
Daniel raised an eyebrow as he listened to the system notification.
"Not bad."
One could not be too greedy.
What level did 5,000 points of Immortal Singularity represent?
That was a threshold only supreme-grade powerhouses could reach.
Even a peak legendary-grade expert would at most have a capacity of a little over 2,000.
And yet, before even reaching supreme-grade himself, he already had a capacity of 5,000 points. Daniel was more than satisfied.
After testing these two sacred landmarks, a new idea immediately surfaced in his mind.
Things this good should be used to harvest players like crops and raise the overall strength of his forces!
With that thought, he looked toward the four supreme-grade experts and asked,
"Can you move these sacred lands and wonders?"
The four supreme-grade experts gave bitter smiles and shook their heads in unison.
The reason a sacred land was called a sacred land was precisely because it had been built—or born—upon certain special locations, tied directly to the angel race’s Fortune Points.
Daniel understood that logic as well, but he still felt a little regretful.
Can’t move them?
His eyes rolled slightly. If they couldn’t move them, then he would just dismantle the whole place and take it away piece by piece!
He pulled out two enormous containers.
These were supreme-grade containers he had obtained when he looted the treasury of the Holy Kingdom in Heavenscar last time. Their greatest use was that their storage capacity was absurdly vast.
"Pack up all the water from this Lake of Baptism for me!"
Daniel pointed at the lake surface. "Oh, and don’t forget the soil by the shore."
"And tear down this Immortal Altar too! The crystal, the gold-grade materials, and even the soil underneath—pack it all in!"
The four supreme-grade experts froze for a moment, unable to react at first.
Very soon, the two giant containers were stuffed full and handed over to Daniel.
After putting them away, he waved his hand grandly.
"Let’s go to the Isle of Rebirth!"
The Isle of Rebirth was, quite simply, an island.
But it was a very special island—
the entire island was covered in [Sacred Spring]!
Each one was a spring well glowing with soft radiance. Above the spring water floated countless cocoons woven from strands of light, resembling silkworm pupae.
Inside every single cocoon, an unborn angel was being nurtured.
This was the very foundation of the angel race’s reproduction!
The Sacred Springs constantly gave birth to new light cocoons, and the angel embryos within them slowly grew until the day they broke free.
Aside from the Sacred Springs, the island also contained piles upon piles of [Angel Chest].
Daniel’s eyes nearly went straight.
So many Sacred Springs, so many treasure chests...
He had struck it rich!
"Loot everything clean!"
His eyes were practically red with excitement.
Very soon, system notifications began ringing out one after another.
[Ding! You have obtained [Sacred Spring] ×1!]
[Ding! You have obtained [Angel Chest] ×1!]
[Ding! ...]
At the same time, Daniel immediately resold everything he obtained.
Considering the needs of his class change quest to build a Holywing Angel Legion, Daniel chose quantity boost by default.
[Ding! You have sold [Sacred Spring] ×1 to Doom Guild for 1 copper coin, triggering Millionfold Boost!]
[Quantity boost triggered!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained 1 gold coin! You have received [Sacred Spring] ×1,000,000!]
...
[Ding! You have sold [Angel Chest] ×1 to Doom Guild for 1 copper coin, triggering Millionfold Boost!]
[Quantity boost triggered!]
[Congratulations! You have obtained 1 gold coin! You have received [Angel Chest] ×1,000,000!]
...
Daniel stuffed the spoils into his inventory like a madman.
As much as he could fit, he took.
After all, his inventory capacity was infinite.
The four supreme-grade experts under his command watched Daniel’s frenzied behavior and all arrived at the same thought:
by the time they left, there probably would not be a single grain of dirt left in Angel Plane.
Before long, every Sacred Spring and every Angel Chest on the Isle of Rebirth had been looted clean by Daniel.
One had to know that both of these items could trigger Millionfold Boost.
Which meant that what he had effectively obtained was equivalent to the treasure of one million Isles of Rebirth!
What a terrifying amount of wealth that was!
Returning fully loaded, Daniel could not help but laugh out loud.
This class change quest had originally only required him to cultivate and enslave one hundred Holywing Angels, yet he had practically packed up the entire Angel Plane!
The only pity was that Angel Plane itself could not be moved. Otherwise, he definitely would have ripped up the land along with everything else.
Thinking of this, he asked,
"Then what kind of place is the Valley of Angels?"
Hearing the question, Carodion stepped forward.
"My King, a great number of Holywing Angels reside within the Valley of Angels."
Holywing Angels?!
Daniel’s eyes lit up.
"Let’s go to the Valley of Angels!"
...
Above the Valley of Angels.
The pressure of the four supreme-grade experts erupted with a thunderous boom. Their supreme-grade aura pressed down upon the more than one million Holywing Angels in the valley until all of them trembled uncontrollably.
Daniel swept his gaze over the densely packed mass of Holywing Angels before him as though he were looking over livestock from his own farm.
These Holywing Angels already knew that the supreme existence of Angel Plane—the Angel King’s avatar—had been annihilated by these humans.
At this very moment, all of them were shrouded in fear, fury, and confusion.
Daniel took in every expression on their faces.
So many Holywing Angels.
And every single one of them was legendary-grade!
If he could subjugate them all, the strength of his faction would surge once more.
Then even if he faced any great race of the star sea in the future, he would still have the power to fight.
This was the perfect time to bring them to heel. If he missed this chance, there would not be another.
Daniel turned his head and glanced at Carodion.
"Carodion, go ask them whether they’re willing to sign a soul contract."
Carodion asked, "And if they refuse?"
Daniel raised a brow.
"Refuse? Then send them to meet the Angel King."
Carodion nodded and flew with the other experts to the front of the Holywing Angels.
"You angels have two choices before you now—submission, or death?"
The Holywing Angels all fell silent.
Of course they did not want to submit.
As a top-tier race, arrogance was carved into their bones!
But in the face of life and death, that arrogance was worth less than a blade of grass.
This world was just that cruel.
If one wanted to sit firmly atop the myriad races, one had to possess the power to crush all opposition.
The Angel King was already dead. Their millions of Holywing Angels simply did not have the confidence to challenge these four supreme-grade experts.
"Glory shall not be defiled!"
One Holywing Angel suddenly roared.
"By the name of the Angel King, my angel race will never bow its head to another race, nor serve as slaves or servants!"
"You think brute force alone can make us submit? Dream on!"
Carodion’s brows furrowed as he stared coldly at him and spat out a single word:
"Kill."
Aliris swung her sword!
Slash!
A sword beam split open the void and cleaved that Holywing Angel in two with a single strike!
Golden blood poured down like torrential rain, staining the earth of Angel Plane a brilliant gold.
Carodion swept a cold gaze across the Holywing Angels before him, as though looking at lambs waiting for slaughter, and said icily,
"Who else?"
The Holywing Angels fell silent.
But at that very moment, a group of Holywing Angels suddenly erupted into motion and charged at the four supreme-grade experts.
They shouted in despair,
"You lowly humans want to enslave our angel race? Dream on!"
"Glory shall not be defiled!"
"Fight to the end!"
Carodion narrowed his eyes and let out a cold snort.
"Hmph!"
"You dare try to self-destruct in front of us? How ignorant."
"Divine Realm!"
With a wave of Carodion’s hand, an enormous phantom of Carodion, tens of thousands of feet tall, suddenly appeared in the void.
That phantom stretched out a giant palm, vast enough to blot out the sky, covering the entire Valley of Angels!
The gigantic hand seized that group of Holywing Angels in its grasp, then clenched fiercely—
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Carodion crushed the Holywing Angels alive, as easily as crushing a few insects!
Hiss—!!!
Seeing that scene, all the Holywing Angels present shuddered violently.
They buried the hatred in their eyes deep within their hearts, while their expressions gradually turned numb.
From high above, Carodion shouted once more:
"Submit... or die?"
