I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 1532: Chapter 1534: Snatching Chapter 1532: Chapter 1534: Snatching “The Church of Light, the God of Light, isn’t that just like the papacy in the real world? Do you think there might actually be angels?”

“Hey, there really are angels in the Church of Light in the City of Hope, people who have done quests have encountered them!”

“Really? Then are the angels male or female, and are they beautiful?”

…

A group of onlooking players suddenly got excited and looked towards that beam of light.

At this moment, the light around the pillar was almost tangible, and a milky halo spread out, making it impossible to see who was inside.

After a while, the light finally dimmed, revealing the person inside.

“An angel, it’s really an angel!” Luo Tianyu exclaimed. It was quite a revelation knowing that angels had previously appeared in the City of Hope, but those had manifested in Sky City, a floating metropolis, which was quite different from the angels of the Church of Light.

Not just Luo Tianyu, many others also cried out in astonishment, as many players had never seen an angel before.

“This must be a real angel, the ones we saw before seemed too down and out!” someone murmured softly in the City of Hope.

The angel before them radiated divinity, with pristine white wings that appeared carved from jade. Its features were stunning, and it was clad in a shining silver armor, brandishing a Flame Longsword that ignited with fire. Its entrance stunned everyone present.

“I am Yana, the holy maiden of the Church of Light!” the angel spoke, using the language of the divine, which sounded like a hymn of praise. Although most people did not understand this divine language, as soon as the angel spoke, the meaning of its words became naturally clear to the crowd.

“A holy maiden, has the holy maiden of the Church of Light also come? Who does she represent, the Church of Light, or the City of Hope?” someone whispered.

“Isn’t there also a church inside the City of Hope, why haven’t we seen it?”

“Hey, they’re all tarred with the same brush. Do you really think those churches in the City of Hope will help the city? That’s too naive!”

“Hmph, right, after all, they won’t miss out on their share when the time comes. They just need to stand aside and watch the show, why not enjoy it?”

…

Wang Qi’s face grew increasingly ugly. In fact, as soon as he received the ultimatum from the City Alliance, he immediately reached out to several churches in the city, but not a single one was willing to stand up to help the City of Hope.

“When the city lord returns, I will wipe out these churches one by one!” Wang Qi looked towards the distant church district that occupied a large area, his heart filled with determination.

“The City of Hope, built on the ancient ruins of Modo City, should rightfully fall under the jurisdiction of the City Alliance, and all resources within the city belong to the City Alliance!”

Whoosh~
The surrounding players instantly exploded in uproar; this was no longer a forceful demand to join the alliance, but a blatant act of usurpation!

The people of the City of Hope turned ashen, their last bit of hope shattered!

“Dammit, what do we do?” someone clenched their teeth and said.

The plan to temporarily join the alliance and then stall for a while fell through instantly, just as they had suspected, the other party wasn’t looking to invite them to the City Alliance but rather to seize this level-five city!

“Impossible!” Luo Tianyu leaped forward, his crimson battle armor gleaming, and his Square Sky Halberd in hand, flashing with a cold light.

Seeing Luo Tianyu, the players nearby issued cheers. Luo Tianyu, as a player in the Warlord class, had many followers; some had even joined his team to fight together.

When the Saintess Yana looked over at Luo Tianyu, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. She had hardly opened her mouth when someone opposed her, blatantly disrespecting her.

“Boom!”

Yana raised the Flame Longsword in her hand and slashed fiercely at Luo Tianyu. A scorching Sword Qi left a charred mark on the ground as it rushed towards Luo Tianyu.

Whoosh~
With a flap of her wings, Yana rose into the air and flew high, lifting the Flame Longsword in her hand and slicing down at Luo Tianyu from the sky.

Suddenly, a white sword light over ten zhang long descended from the sky, enveloping not only Luo Tianyu but also the upper echelons of the City of Hope, as if intending to slice them all in one fell swoop.

“Kill!”

Luo Tianyu did not shrink back, but rather let out a low shout and leapt into the air with a fierce stomp, his crimson battle armor glinting brilliantly in the sunlight as if he were a Phoenix.

The white sword light in the sky quickly solidified into a cross-shaped Lightsaber. This Lightsaber, like a divine weapon, had the power to split a mountain in half, far beyond the capability of Luo Tianyu, whose Combat Power was only at tier three.

Facing the heaven-slicing earth-extinguishing sword, the high ranks of the City of Hope’s faces turned pale as they dodged to the side in a very ungainly manner.

Only Luo Tianyu, wielding his Battle Halberd, charged at the cross-shaped Lightsaber.

Rumble~
A thunderous roar resounded above the City of Hope, lightning flashing incessantly on Luo Tianyu’s Battle Halberd as it collided fiercely with the cross-shaped Lightsaber.

Countless forces of Qi and lightning ran rampant, sweeping across the entire square. Every building there was destroyed; the ground cracked, trees shattered, and the very earth was sheared off by three inches. The surrounding houses suffered collateral damage and collapsed one after another.

Dust and debris flew into the air, stones hurtled about, as if a typhoon of level twelve had struck, blinding everyone.

“Pfft~”
Luo Tianyu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her face pale as snow, as she lay on the ground, struggling to stand up but unable to move. This strike had left her critically injured, on the verge of death.

“Life Resurgence!” a little girl’s voice rang out, and verdant light enveloped Luo Tianyu, instantly raising her bottomed-out Vitality Points and healing all her injuries.

Luo Tianyu struggled to her feet, picked up her Battle Halberd, and turned around–sure enough, as she had suspected, it was Li Ke’er.

At that moment, Li Ke’er was garbed in cloth armor, her body emanated a Dark Gold glow, and several of her equipments shone with a purple-red light. She held a small crossbow in her hand, and above her head hovered a semi-transparent shadow of a fierce avian, ready to swoop down at any moment.

“Thank you, Ke’er!” Luo Tianyu nodded and turned to look at Yana. The angel was unscathed, and even the dust stirred up couldn’t approach her, kept at bay three feet away.

“Legendaries possess Domain Power; we stand no chance against them!” Wang Qi said with a grim expression, “To fight to the death, ha, we don’t even have the right to end it all with them. Tianyu, give up.”

Luo Tianyu’s face showed a hint of humiliation. She bit down on her silver teeth, and slowly, a trickle of fresh blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
