Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Robbing the Angel (Sixth Update, Please Subscribe)
The immaculate wings shone with a sacred halo under the sunlight, and the head of dazzling golden curls was truly eye-catching. The white robes and the handsome features, unlike those of any human, made him resemble the kind and benevolent angel of legend, the one who descends to save humanity from worldly concerns.
Upon seeing this creature, reminiscent of an angel, the faces of people from several major families drastically changed.
Ordinary people, on the other hand, were filled with wonder and praise, marveling that angels truly existed in this world and extolling the angel’s mercy and universal love.
At such a time, for a kind and beautiful angel to appear, what else could he have come for if not to rescue humans being slaughtered by Base Variant Creatures?
Some of the faithful humans had even begun to pray to the angel.
Even the atheists, for the most part, believed that the angel’s arrival must surely be to save mankind.
Within Zheng Yan’s squad, several Mutators also held this belief.
Unfortunately, what they had encountered was not a real angel, but rather a member of the Celestial Race, who only bore some resemblance to angels.
Under the gaze of countless onlookers, the angel transformed into a white dazzling arc and descended into the valley, his body clad in a holy White Jade Carapace as he flew.
The Crystal-based Creature noticed the angel and seemed to sense danger. With a roar, it leapt up, its claws reaching towards the angel’s chest with the speed of lightning.
Be it angel or demon, whoever came would not stop it from reclaiming its eggs.
In the instant before the angel and the Crystal-based Creature were about to collide, the angel’s speed surged, and he flashed past the creature.
The Crystal-based Creature was severed in midair, and both the Base Mutation Fluid and the corpse fell to the ground.
The angel, on the other hand, landed gracefully, not a speck of grime or dust on him, just like an angel descending to the world to save it.
“Lord Angel, thank you for saving us,” one of the devout Mutators in the squad said excitedly, paying respects to the angel.
The others were also somewhat relieved to have escaped a terrible fate, but only Zheng Yan frowned as he scrutinized the angel.
“I have saved you, how will you repay me?” the angel said with interest after looking over the group.
The squad members were taken aback as they had never heard of angels saving humans and then asking for something in return.
“Lord Angel, how would you like us to repay you?” asked the Mutator who had paid his respects, somewhat suspiciously.
“I quite enjoy making friends with people. Would you like to be my friends?” the angel asked with a smile.
“Of course…” Overjoyed, the believer thought he might be the first human in the world to befriend an angel.
“Since you’re willing to be my friends, then leave everything you have with you, and get lost,” the angel suddenly showed his true colors.
This statement left all the onlookers with their mouths agape, and the believers felt like their entire worldview had shattered, overwhelmed with a shock that was indescribable, as if it was the end of the world.
An angel, robbing humans, including his own followers.
This world is mad as hell!
“Oh God, is it the greed and foolishness of humanity that has angered You, and that is why You have sent down an angel to punish the ignorant humans?” Some believers trembled uncontrollably, as if this unbearable world was about to be destroyed.
“It seems that you want me to take action myself,” the Angel said, looking at the shocked group with a trace of mockery in his eyes. His Angel’s Wings fluttered behind him, turning into a phantom that rushed towards the leader, Zheng Yan.
Zheng Yan was horrified and hastily commanded the Red Jade Lion to meet the charge.
But how could the Red Jade Lion be a match for the Angel? In just an instant, the Angel’s foot, wrapped in the White Jade Carapace, stomped on the Red Jade Lion’s head, pressing it directly into the ground and smashing out a large crater.
As the Angel flew towards him, his handsome face nearly touching his own, that angelic visage now appeared demonic in Zheng Yan’s eyes.
“Lord Angel, take whatever you want,” Zheng Yan shouted loudly while lifting up his backpack and presenting it to the Angel.
“There’s a good boy. I like obedient friends the most,” the Angel said, taking the backpack, glanced at its contents, and then looked at Zheng Yan, casually continuing, “And your pet too.”
Under the watchful eyes of humans around the world, an Angel robbed six humans, stripping them of all their possessions, not even leaving a Pet Capsule behind.
The Angel even searched the body of the dead Mutator until he was sure there was nothing left, then took all the items and flew away, leaving behind six destitute humans and a corpse in the valley.
Only now did people react to why the Angel killed the Crystal-based Creature with a single strike but only stepped on the Red Jade Lion—it was because he intended to claim the Red Jade Lion as his own.
The appearance of the robbing Angel shocked the world.
People were discussing where exactly the Angel came from, and whether he was truly an angel.
In less than a day, the information provided by the Firmament Projection System was enough to overturn humanity’s worldview that had formed over thousands of years.
And this was just the beginning. In the following tens of hours, the robbing Angel frequently appeared on screen, robbing one temporary team after another.
Zheng Yan and his group were powerless to resist, to say nothing of other teams.
Fortunately, the robbing Angel only robbed and did not take any interest in killing.
Of course, that was provided you were willing to hand over all your possessions and make friends with him. The fate of those who were unwilling to make friends was witnessed by everyone through a certain Alloy Base Variant Creature.
No one wanted to see it again, and no one was willing to risk refusing the friendship of the Angel.
For a time, the robbing Angel’s notoriety far exceeded that of everyone else, almost causing Lin Shen, the playboy, to be temporarily forgotten.
Whenever someone remembered Lin Shen and his group, they wondered if they would choose to befriend the Angel upon meeting him.
If they were unwilling to be friends, surely their end would be very tragic.
The sheer strength of the Angel made people feel as if he and the humans were not even on the same level. No one believed that Lin Shen and his group could survive if they refused to be friends.
Some prayed that Lin Shen and his group wouldn’t encounter the robbing Angel, while others wished they could be found by the robbing Angel immediately.
The possessions on Lin Shen were enough to drive a small group of people insane with jealousy. If the Angel took those possessions, it would not be an unwelcomed event for them.
If it were possible, they’d be eager to lead the Angel himself, at least to find some psychological comfort in the thought that if no one had anything, it would feel balanced.
Unfortunately, the Firmament Projection System did not have exclusive footage of the robbing Angel, and he could only be seen when he appeared near those humans.
As more and more people tuned in, they all wanted to know when the robbing Angel would finally come across Lin Shen and his group of four.
