Chapter 562: The Only Thing Remaining
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Roy had always felt that the Exile skill was quite shameless. If you encountered an enemy you couldn’t defeat and didn’t want the opponent to continue staying in the way, you could simply trigger the world repulsive effect to exile them and be done with them.
As someone who was often treated as a target of exile, Roy naturally hated this skill. In the past, his enemies only wanted to drive him back to the Abyss, but later on, the enemies began to want to drive him into the Void.
However, when Roy became the one using the Exile skill, it felt quite good!
Moreover, the exile Roy used was different from triggering a repulsive effect. He directly entered the Void and then dragged people into it, making it very difficult to guard against. Now, it even worked on a famous Archangel like Gabriel.
After throwing Gabriel into the Void, Roy heaved a sigh of relief. Although he didn’t want to admit it, Gabriel had indeed given him a lot of pressure. At the extreme speed of light, only he could attack Roy, but it was difficult for Roy to attack him.
There was no need for any strange abilities or powerful magic. When speed and strength reached the limit, they could still destroy the opponent easily. Facing such an enemy, anyone would probably feel a headache.
After returning to the moon, Roy checked the condition of the Red Sea Egg. His battle with Gabriel had caused a huge explosion, and he was worried that it had affected the Red Sea Egg.
After checking, Roy found that the Red Sea Egg was intact. It seemed that after growing to such an extent, the outermost layer of the Red Sea Egg had become much more solid. The fibrous layer, which was hundreds of meters thick, had excellent defense, and it could resist ordinary damage.
I wonder howlong it’ll take… Roy looked at the rhythmically beating Red Sea Egg and sighed. His most important goal now was to protect Lilith’s ritual from being disturbed. On a whim, he had suddenly thought of banishing Gabriel to the Void, which was a wonderful move that bought him a lot of time.
Roy didn’t know if Gabriel could come out of the Void by himself. Archangels like Gabriel, who had lived for hundreds of millions of years, couldn’t be speculated with common sense. When Lilith was banished to the Void, she could return on her own, let alone Gabriel.
Therefore, Roy was now preparing for the worst. He assumed that Gabriel had
a way to break free from the Void, but he didn’t know how much time exiling him could buy.
I have to think ofa way to limit Gabriel’s speed! Roy thought. After being tricked once, he won’t give me a second chance to exile him. Moreover, I can’t rule out the possibility that he will directly attack the Red Sea Egg after returning. Although this thing is a Legacy of the Creator, ifhe uses the slogan ofstopping a demon scheme, he should be able to ruthlessly destroy the Red Sea Egg…
The Red Sea Egg was currently too large. If Gabriel wanted to attack the Red Sea Egg, Roy had no other choice but to use his A.T. Field to protect it. This would greatly limit his mobility, fixing his range of movement around the egg, making it so that he could only be passively beaten.
Being a sandbag was not Roy’s style. After he quickly went through all his abilities in his mind, his eyes flickered. It seems like I can only use that move…
But I have to find a way to make Gabriel fall into the trap…
On another side, in the Void…
Although Gabriel was very annoyed after knowing that he had been fooled, he quickly calmed down.
Unlike Auriel, who had been at a loss when she fell into the Void, Gabriel had been thinking about how to save himself. He gathered all his holy light power and formed a protective layer on the surface of his body to resist the corrosion of the Void. At the same time, he maximized all his senses and did his best to release them in the Void to sense the outside world.
After spending some time, Gabriel finally made a vague discovery. This made him very glad because he realized that he had not fallen into the depths of the Void but was still in the shallow Void.
In his research on the Void world, Gabriel knew a little about the characteristics of the Void. The Void was the back of matter, a background hidden under the material world. Although the erosion of Void power on the material world was irreversible, at the junction of the material world and the Void, Void power was relatively mild. This should be some kind of neutralizing effect. In other words, when the junction was relatively intact and not damaged, matter and the Void were in a balanced and non-invasive state. If not for this, the Void would have long devoured many worlds.
The situation in the shallow Void was actually not much different from the junction’s. The power of the material world could still be used here, as evidenced by his slightly recovered perception ability. After understanding this, Gabriel was thinking of ways to move to a shallower place. It would be best if he could reach the junction. Even if he couldn’t, the shallower he went, the more helpful it would be for him to sense the material world.
Relying on what little perception he had left, Gabriel tried to fly at the speed of light in the Void, wanting to move.
However, at first, although his entire body turned into a ray of light, no matter how he flew, it was as though he was flying on the spot. His body even turned into a spot of light that couldn’t move.
He also encountered the predicament that Auriel had experienced back then. Without Roy’s Chaos power, which could open up a field of order in the Void, the abilities and powers of the material world would suffer too much interference in the Void.
Had it been anyone else, they might have given up after trying for so long, but Gabriel did not. He continued to try to fly while carefully sensing the changes in the Void.
The Void energy filling the Void was not unchanging. Void energy often fluctuated and had tides. The Void world was like an ocean, while Void energy was like seawater. Void energy was even more active than seawater, which was why Void energy appeared very violent in the eyes of people.
Since there were fluctuations, it meant that the interference of the Void with him was not unchanging. When a certain Void energy disturbance weakened, Gabriel could finally move as he wished.
Under the constant light-speed movement, when the Void disturbance weakened, Gabriel moved about four meters in the Void!
Although it was very difficult to move, he finally didn’t have to stay where he was.
Just like that, Gabriel persisted and searched for openings in the Void to move. He used his recovery ability as a judgment tool to determine if he was moving toward the shallows of the Void.
In fact, Gabriel wasn’t the only one who had achieved this method of moving in the Void. Lilith had done the same back then. During the two thousand years she was trapped in the Void, she had used the same method to gradually leave some footprints in the Void. And because she still had the power of time, after the number of footprints increased, Lilith could even ‘rewind’ her own time and move substantially in the Void.
This was also why Lilith had appeared after Auriel fell into the Void and could leave a time acceleration field on her. Lilith’s flash-like movement in the Void back then had been retracing her past footprints.
Of course, although you could rely on this method to obtain the ability to move in the Void, it was still far inferior to Roy’s Chaos power establishing an order field. Lilith had spent more than two thousand years running from the depths of the Void to a slightly shallower place, so it was obvious how vast the Void was. This was also why she had to seek Chaos power. Only with Chaos power could she move freely in the Void and enter the depths to find traces of the Creator…
Ten hours had passed in the material world, but this difficult period of time was as if hundreds of years had passed for Gabriel. Fortunately, in order to capture Gabriel, Roy had brought him to an extremely shallow part of the Void because it was easier to open the rifts in the material world from the shallows, and the effect of the surprise attack would be better. Thus, after Gabriel entered, he was actually only in a very shallow part of the Void. Through his continuous efforts, he could finally sense the situation in the material world!
However, sensing was one thing, and having something to provide him with a position was another. Gabriel had just arrived in this world and hadn’t left anything in it. He could only be patient and keep searching the material world, wanting to find something that could provide him with a position.
He was only doing this with the intention of giving it a try, but he didn’t expect that he would really find something!
In his perception of the material world, there was something with a very familiar aura. After locating this thing, Gabriel was overjoyed. He concentrated on using this thing as coordinates and tried to open a channel between the Void and the material world.
Finally, the channel opened smoothly, and he couldn’t wait to get out. He had had enough of this damn Void…
“W-where is this?!”
The darkness in front of him suddenly disappeared. What slowly appeared in his vision was a huge space full of powerful holy light energy, but there was also a lot of dark power mixed in. Gabriel turned his head and looked around curiously, only to find all kinds of ruins and collapsed buildings.
He could see that these collapsed ruins originally had dazzling colors. He was very familiar with them because this was the construction style commonly used by angels. Although the details were different from the buildings of Eden, they were indeed the buildings of Heaven.
Is this the outpost of this world? Gabriel looked around in puzzlement, but he found that apart from the ruins, he couldn’t see any angels flying. This space was full of a dead atmosphere.
It seems to have been destroyed… But why didn’t Eden receive a report?Gabriel was puzzled.
He lowered his head and saw the thing under his feet that had guided him back from the Void. It was… a golden book that looked a little illusory!
The Book of Truth, it’s really you… Gabriel sighed and stretched out his hand to try to grab the Book of Truth, only to find his palm passing through it.
Gabriel wasn’t surprised by this situation. He knew that this Book of Truth was only a projection of the original, and the original Book of Truth was actually preserved in Eden.
This illusory projection could be activated with the power of holy light so that
it could be checked. But the projection was fixed at a spatial coordinate. The projection of the Book of Truth had once been stored in the Library of Fate in the High Heavens. But now, the Library of Fate had become ruins. Only the projection of the Book of Truth was still here, but no demon could take it away.
Gabriel was one of the editors of the Book of Truth, so the projection of the Book of Truth naturally recorded his aura.. Finally, it brought him from the Void to the destroyed High Heavens…
