Chapter 720: Declaration of War
Chapter 720: Declaration of War
The massive gap in the Shelter revealed dazzling golden light, swallowing the ship along with everyone on it in the blink of an eye. Very quickly, as the bow of the ship squeezed into the gap, the internal scene of this Angels' Main Shelter that had been covered in dust for thousands of years finally entered Fisher's eyes.
Only to see white mist drifting within it, just like the faint and indistinct clouds and mist above the several heavens ten thousand years ago. With just one glance Fisher recovered the familiar feeling of going up to the Holy Sanctuary back then. Gou Wen seemed to have also not set foot in the Holy Sanctuary for a long time since then, especially with the Holy Sanctuary having already disappeared for a thousand years, seeing it again at this moment also brought a bit of a trance.
"To think it's so similar to the Holy Sanctuary..."
The interior of the Shelter had faint and indistinct clouds and mist, and Gou Wen also couldn't resist exclaiming thus. But as Fisher kept looking he realized something was wrong. He gazed far towards the edge of the clouds and mist, suddenly discovering that the end of the swirling white mist inside this entire gap surprisingly were all entirely blurry stone brick appearances, looking not too different from that Shelter David was in.
And the front was completely clouds and mist, yet the end of the clouds and mist was the appearance of the original Shelter again. This aroused Fisher's doubt.
These clouds and mist similar to the Holy Sanctuary were all changed by Hamon Hamon using His power.
Many Cardinals flew in and out amidst the clouds and mist, looking just like industrious little bees in a honeycomb, unknown as to what they were busy with.
At this moment, Hamon Hamon beside Fisher exhaled like orchids and explained to Fisher a step earlier,
"By my command, they are going back and forth between reality and the Spirit World preparing supplies for the banquet. After all, a thousand years have already passed, the interior of the Shelter has long ago exhausted its food and ammunition, and is unsuitable to be used for banquet merriment. Please continue walking forward, the place where you can land is just ahead."
Under David's control, this ship also plunged into this vast mist like other existences, very quickly displaying the appearance within the dense mist.Below the dense mist was entirely filled with different platforms possessing exquisite carvings floating in mid-air. As Fisher and the others' ship pressed into the clouds and mist, it brewed a layer of broad shadow below, perfectly enveloping over a dozen Chaos-kins with twisted figures within.
Those Chaos-kins had various forms, and Fisher hadn't seen their true appearances at all. They should all be Chaos-kins like the South Celestial Pole whose rank was lower than the twelve Demigods like Pisces. They were each independent and exceptionally quiet. Those who knew would say they came to participate in the banquet, those who didn't would even think they came here to stand as punishment.
Waiting until Fisher entered within, all the Chaos-kins seemed to have a telepathic connection and turned their heads to look towards the direction of David's ship, or rather they weren't looking at the ship, but looking at Fisher above.
Looking at the Chaos-kins below simultaneously looking up, even though Renee knew they weren't looking at her, her complexion still changed slightly, taking a step back imperceptibly, hiding away from the gazes of those Chaos-kins.
"Ding ding ding~"
Simultaneously, following the crisp ringing of bells sounding out, several females with smiles pretty as flowers flew over from below. Their handsome appearances, smooth skin, and the illusory-halo-bearing wings behind them all indicated their identities to Fisher and Gou Wen without exception.
Angels?
"Welcome everyone, please follow us to land..."
Those females with smiles pretty as flowers wore slender white robes like Angels that outlined their postures gracefully and charmingly. The fair skin was like jade, seeming to carry dots of fluorescence, having the same wonderful function but different forms as David driving the ship behind, yet having a massive difference.
Fisher and Gou Wen exchanged a glance, both seeing a bit of foreign color in each other's eyes, obviously having simultaneously discovered something amiss.
Angels have no gender. David's appearance similar to Michael made Fisher temporarily unable to recognize him. But these Angels before his eyes had genders. Moreover, Fisher who had intimate contact with Helaire also felt the female Angels also had differences from these Angels coming to receive them before his eyes, but he couldn't state what that difference was.
Fisher blinked, looking calmly at Hamon Hamon beside him who was still expressionless,
"Are these the Angels you mentioned in the intelligence? They look somewhat different from the Angels from hundreds and thousands of years ago."
"Hiss hiss..."
Hamon Hamon darted Her tongue, merely saying,
"The Angels sealed here together with me during the war are all still alive."
"Is that so..."
That means to say, these "Angels" before their eyes were possibly transformed from those Angels?
And apart from these Angels flying up, Fisher saw on the platforms below, there were also quite a few Angels of various genders beside the Chaos-kins, both male and female. They were all conversing and receiving the Chaos-kins beside them, yet the Chaos-kins seemed completely unready to pay attention to them, merely all raising their heads to look at the ship in the sky.
The atmosphere within the entire Shelter was extremely bizarre, yet didn't have the slightest murderous intent, making Fisher increasingly vigilant.
"Rumble!"
Under the reception of those Angels, the ship steadily approached a platform. The ship was about to stop, the power was about to rest, and David in the control room floated out impatiently, asking Hamon Hamon,
"Where are my Mommy and Daddy?"
Hamon Hamon turned her head and reached out to point at the curling clouds and mist ahead, saying to David and the others around Fisher,
"After the banquet begins I will take everyone to meet them. For now please go this way."
Saying thus, Hamon Hamon gently swayed her snake tail taking a step forward. Simultaneously also turning her head to look expressionlessly at Fisher, reaching her hand out towards him, as if wanting to hold hands,
"Mr. Fisher..."
"Smack!"
Yi, Renee had considered herself to have discovered it. Originally this fellow was a foreign deity and also currently a suspicious enemy, Renee didn't think deeply in that direction at all. But for this fellow to repeatedly rely on her avatar's appearance to flirt with Fisher, what exactly were her intentions?
With a cold face, Renee preemptively grabbed Fisher's left palm that hadn't moved a bit. Grabbing the left side yet still unsatisfied, she hurriedly walked in front of him to also grasp the right side securely.
This sequence of actions was like arresting Fisher, making Fisher's face increasingly innocent.
No, I didn't even move a bit and you arrested me?
Facing Fisher's inquiring gaze, Renee glared back. That gaze seemed to be saying "If you made me feel assured why would I arrest you".
Simultaneously, she smiled slightly and turned her head to look at Hamon Hamon, saying,
"No need to trouble yourself, we aren't cripples, we can keep up."
Hamon Hamon flicked Her snake tongue, simultaneously tilting Her head, saying,
"Lord Moon still doesn't trust that I'm harmless to Mr. Fisher?"
How to say it... If the banquet Hamon Hamon set up was truly a banquet with treacherous intentions, then letting Hamon Hamon approach Fisher would definitely be harmful. But what if Hamon Hamon truly as She said had absolutely no harm towards Fisher, wouldn't that be even more terrifying?
You an Outer God without a word also turned your avatar into this appearance, oh that tail, still swaying back and forth, the expression also this kind of stiff puppet-like appearance, doesn't this make one even more vigilant?
Still that same sentence, if Fisher truly made one feel at ease there also wouldn't be Renee's current actions.
It can be seen, the so-called repenting and turning over a new leaf was only believed by himself.
Fisher sighed, grasping Renee's fair wrist in return, saying to Hamon Hamon,
"I'll be together with my companions, deity Hamon Hamon just leading the way in front is fine."
"Hiss hiss..."
Hamon Hamon nodded, also not forcing it. Merely swaying Her snake body to take the lead walking down the deck. Only then did Renee withdraw her divine powers, yet still didn't let Fisher let go of her hand.
And Fisher looking at her snake waist leaving swaying left and right, said to Renee and Gou Wen,
"The atmosphere inside the Shelter is very strange, be extra careful."
Gou Wen instead said in surprise,
"Yi, I thought your mind was already captivated by that demi-human species Hamon Hamon transformed into... Look, look, inside this Shelter, not only did Hamon Hamon Herself turn into a demi-human girl, even those Holy Progenies receiving guests were divided into genders, and specially called female Angels to come welcome, entirely because of you!"
Fisher couldn't be bothered with him, merely turning his head to look at Renee. She was already stroking her chin and taking a step forward looking at the "Angels" on those platforms, analyzing rationally,
"These Angels all carry the aura of Hamon Hamon's Authority. Presumably they are Her creations and not true Angels. This banquet indeed has too many bizarre elements, unknown exactly what She is thinking..."
"Mhm, if She was solely to ask for my help, then even if She wanted to hold some banquet there's no need to invite these seemingly unrelated Chaos-kins. She Herself said the other Chaos-kins are not traveling together with Pisces and the others."
Gou Wen stroked his chin, saying,
"Looks rather like a hospitable one. The temperament of deities... Ramastia also doesn't understand the true nature of other Outer Gods too well, merely having heard of Their Authorities. Their true appearances and situations can only be judged through Their actions from thousands of years ago... And regardless of whether it's me or other existences aware of this, all unanimously believe the former Hamon Hamon was exceptionally cruel and tyrannical."
Fisher contemplated for a moment, and also held Renee's hand beside him walking down the ship. Hamon Hamon was waiting below, constantly looking back at Fisher. Those eyes just like the other Chaos-kins, had never left him.
Seeing him come down, although Hamon Hamon was still expressionless, She suddenly unexpectedly moved closer to Renee and Fisher. She gently faced Fisher's side cheek, whispering to him,
"Pisces and the others have already seen you come. They are right behind, you should be able to sense it."
Just after finishing her words, Renee who was about to reach out to push Her face back also turned her head to look towards that direction. Fisher did the same, perfectly able to see the appearances of Pisces's group over there.
But precisely this glance towards Pisces' direction, he abruptly saw a black-haired back figure appearing exceptionally abrupt here amidst the curling clouds and mist in the distance.
That black-haired back figure wore a maid outfit of the Northern Border style, the long black hair on her head tightly coiled up. She leaned deeply within a platform relatively distant from Pisces. Because this fleeting glimpse was too brief, Fisher even suspected whether he saw wrongly. But fixing his eyes on it, that black-haired back figure was so real again.
"Heidelin?!"
Fisher was slightly startled, and that name from the Northern Border blurted out.
Only to see that on this platform were completely Chaos-kins and the handsome Angels seemingly created by Hamon Hamon. The angels mostly had colorful hair, like Michael's red, Helaire's gold, Gabriel's brown were all like this. Yet solely missing the black frequently had by humans. Thus this smear of coiled black hair appeared so eye-catching, making Fisher catch it at a glance.
He still remembered back when going into the Wutong Tree Emhart saw the conflict of Heidelin turning into Baimon, thus Heidelin who had stayed with Valentina for a very long time suddenly disappeared. And at this moment she unexpectedly came directly into the Spirit World?
The Ocean...
Fisher's breathing abruptly became heavy. Even the force grasping Renee's wrist uncontrollably increased, making Renee surprised,
"Heidelin, another what-what you know..."
Renee paused her words, also turning her head to look forward, seemingly having seen nothing, and temporarily couldn't pinpoint exactly which direction Fisher was looking at. Only thinking it was the Pisces side over there, unexpectedly Heidelin was in a direction very far away from them.
And after Renee raised her eyes to look, Heidelin's back figure suddenly walked forward, very quickly disappearing within an area of clouds and mist, having already walked towards an unknown depth of the Shelter.
"She..."
Fisher raised a foot to immediately chase after her, but suddenly stopped his footsteps again. He turned his head to look at Renee, Gou Wen, and David still beside him, knowing in his heart that although right now he had many thoughts of wanting to catch her, at this moment it wasn't his own living room, but the Shelter controlled by Hamon Hamon. Separating from companions was a grave taboo.
He no longer chased, merely staring fixedly at the direction Heidelin left, asking Hamon Hamon,
"Where does that direction lead to?"
Hamon Hamon was also somewhat surprised. Although still expressionless, looking at Fisher her tone carried fluctuations,
"That is the place I will lead you all to after the banquet. The matter I want to request of you is also related to that place."
"..."
Right, perhaps Heidelin no, or rather Helaire revealing herself was merely to tell Fisher one thing,
"My person is right here."
Renee felt the force of Fisher grasping her wrist was absolutely unprecedented. Furthermore she could surprisingly still faintly feel the gradually accelerating heartbeat of Fisher's body. This kind of reaction she had almost never felt from Fisher.
Her subconscious told her, the person who could cause Fisher to fluctuate so was probably no ordinary existence. Moreover it was definitely, definitely, definitely, a woman!
Thinking of this point, a few more bits of indignance appeared within Renee's purple eyes.
No, didn't you agree the time coming to the Spirit World would completely belong to me?
Back then, when Tao Gong said that sentence "he goes to the Spirit World unexpectedly with no one to keep him company", she was still secretly delighted inside, calling that Elf stupid. Not expecting in the Spirit World there was still her, this existence transcending all people's perception.
But unexpectedly not even a day had passed, and this boomerang suddenly smashed right into her head.
That little Whale-kin fellow was brought over by this Whale-kin couple. Fine, fine, fine, a single pitiful "Teacher Fisher" unknown how many past memories it would hook up...
I'll endure!
After arriving at this Shelter, this cruel old immortal Hamon Hamon also came to join the fun...
But fortunately, although Fisher looked moved, he was only curious about the structure of this snake person, merely that, and couldn't be considered any overstepping action...
I'll endure!
Now...
Now...
Another one came?!
And one I completely have no clue about...
It seems this name was familiar to herself, crossing her mind maybe it was someone he encountered? But he encountered so many people, back then in the Spirit World she also completely focused on him, the other people she merely picked the important ones to remember, the rest...
Could it really be this tiny omission that made her miss some connection?
Fine, fine, fine.
If this can be tolerated, what cannot?
Because my, Renee's, temper is good you treat me as a paper tiger, right...
I, Renee, leave my words here. Regardless of who it is that comes, if one comes I'll beat one!
Renee stroked the back of Fisher's hand upon her hand, her expression still smiling. But amid the slightly raised corners of her mouth, the smell of gunpowder as if wanting to blow the world apart couldn't be suppressed from emerging.
