Chapter 475: A Simple Matter of Breathing

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Not only in Heaven, but at this moment, in the entire human world adjacent to it, this lazy murmur rang in the ears of billions of humans. People raised their heads and looked around in puzzlement, thinking that they were hearing things.

Outside the floating island of Aesir, the demon army, which had withdrawn hundreds of kilometers under Roy’s command, was trembling.

All the demons saw the beam of light that soared into the sky and the faint pressure that came with it.

This pressure was not fierce, and it was not a feeling that forced the demons to kneel. But the more faint this feeling was, the more uncomfortable the demons felt because they knew that this pressure was not directed at them but merely emanating unconsciously!

All the demons understood that a natural enemy so powerful and terrifying that it made them despair had appeared…

The high-level demons were still able to maintain their rationality under this pressure and did not turn around to escape, but the low-level demons could not do this. The moment this faint pressure spread throughout all of Heaven, countless low-level demons were already wailing and fighting to escape to the spatial channel with their tails between their legs. Even though the demon lords were berating them unceasingly, they could not stop these deserters at all.

Toward the end, the demon lords no longer cared and simply let them go. Anyway, these low-level demons were useless in this situation.

At this moment, Sparda, Berial, Madama Styx, and the other demon lords all came to Roy’s side and asked him uneasily, “Osiris, what should we do? Archangel Jubileus has really awakened. We have no chance of winning! It might be too late to retreat now.”

“Retreat to the Demon World?” Roy looked at them and sneered. “And then wait for the angels to come knocking?”

“This… we can stall for time!” a demon lord said embarrassedly. “Moreover, after returning to the Demon World, we can escape back to the Abyss if we really can’t. Sparda is here. Get him to undo his seal. I’ve been out for so long. It’s time to return to my hometown and have a look!”

“Yes!” Berial and the others nodded. “I miss the sulfur aura of the Abyss a little. It’s purer than the Demon World’s…”

Sareth rolled his eyes when he heard this. These guys were really shameless. Even a child like him could not stand it anymore.

“Anyone who wants to leave can leave!” Roy said expressionlessly. “But let me say this first. If you leave and return to the Abyss, then the demon contract between us will become invalid. What happens to your Ouroboros Marks will then have nothing to do with me. Got it?”

“This…” Berial and the others hesitated when they heard this. Without their Ouroboros Marks, even if they returned to the Abyss, they would not dare to wander around in the future because it would be too dangerous. Once they died, they would not even have the chance to resurrect.

They were unwilling, but the pressure exuding from the Goddess of Light Jubileus in Aesir City was making them break out in a cold sweat. A demon lord thought about it and gritted his teeth as he made a decision.

Escape! If the demon contract became invalid, then so be it. If they could not get their marks back, then so be it. If they fought the Archangel here for their Ouroboros Marks, they might be killed before they could retrieve their marks. If they escaped back to the Abyss, they could at least save their lives for a while.

Everyone understood this choice, so after the demon lord who took the lead left, the other demon lords followed. When they made this decision, the demon contract they signed with Roy appeared and burned out.

“Hmph. If I had known they would become deserters, I would have kept the penalty for breach of contract!” Roy snorted unhappily and looked at Berial and Madama Styx. “What about you?”

After some hesitation, Berial and Madama Styx decided to stay.

Madama Styx forced a smile. “To be honest, I know that this decision is very risky. But since you’re staying, Lord Osiris, it means that you’re still confident. I also want to see what your trump card is…”

“Okay!” Roy nodded. “Then wait.”

With that, Roy looked at Julia next to him.

After Jubileus resurrected, Julia’s condition was a little off. She kept looking at the beam of light in Aesir City with a confused and dazed expression.

“Julia, what’s wrong?” Roy hugged her and asked softly.

“I don’t know… Or rather, I can’t say exactly…” Julia said. “I keep feeling that there’s a very special throbbing in my heart, and the source of this throbbing is that light… My body seems to be resonating with it. Darling, what’s wrong with me?”

Roy sighed. He knew that his previous guess really came true. Julia’s soul really came from the Goddess of Light Jubileus…

Therefore, he did not hide it from her. He whispered his guess to her, causing her eyes to widen.

“You’re saying that Samael used Jubileus’s soul to create me?” Julia exclaimed incoherently. “Then… then am I not merely a clone of Jubileus?”

“It’s not certain who the clone is!” Roy patted Julia’s back and comforted her. “Have you ever thought about what if you’re the main body?”

“W-what do you mean?” Julia did not understand.

“I mean, maybe you’re the biggest portion of Jubileus’s soul!” Roy smiled. “Samael might have only left a small portion of her soul. In that case, aren’t you the main body?”

“This… I don’t know…” Julia’s face was in a mess, which was a display of her questioning her self-cognition.

Roy could only comfort her and tell her not to think too much. Finally, under his persuasion, Julia agreed to leave Heaven for the time being because she knew that since she could sense Jubileus, Jubileus should be able to sense her. If she were to remain in Heaven, Jubileus might first act against her.

Roy was about to face a god-like Archangel, so he did not dare to be careless. In order to prevent any accidents from happening, he got Julia and Benia to leave with Cassandra and Sareth and return to the Demon World. After they left, he would be able to act freely.

Thus, only a few demon lords were remaining at the scene. The most determined one was Sparda. After all, Dante and the others were currently in the hands of the angels, and he had to save them no matter what.

Of course, there were also many high-level demons remaining, but…

The deterrence of an Archangel was actually so terrifying that the morale of the demons had completely collapsed before they even met. The demon army of tens of millions was now only a few hundred thousand.

The ones closest to Jubileus were Dante and the others in Aesir City. At this moment, the three of them were facing her directly. When they saw that this giant goddess had regained her vitality, the stimulation they received was unparalleled. In their vision, Jubileus was as dazzling as a blazing sun.

After the murmur dissipated, the light on Jubileus gradually disappeared, so Dante and the others could see her true appearance.

Jubileus was wearing revealing dark golden armor. This armor looked like it was made of countless feathers and was extremely gorgeous. Several braids hung down from her hair bun around her body like waves, and at the end of each braid was a cross-shaped flower ornament. In the center of the petals were faces with joyful expressions!

She did not have six wings as imagined. Behind her was only a pair of wings, but they were a pair of indescribably enormous wings of light that covered the sky and almost enveloped most of Aesir City. These wings of light were more like decorative emblems than wings. The bright golden light formed complicated patterns, and only the outermost lines were visible as the outline of the wings.

At Jubileus’s eyes, she was wearing a mask made of feathers, covering half of her face. Her black and white eyes shone with a dignified gaze through the mask. On her forehead, a golden round light was shining, like a third eye. This round light eye was slowly rotating and emitting incomparable power.

And this eye was the Eyes of the World!

After waking up, Jubileus crossed her arms in front of her chest and took a deep breath. This was her first breath after sleeping for thousands of years! As she breathed, the golden holy light of the Kabbalah shining and spreading throughout all of Heaven seemed as though it was being sucked into a vortex. And all of it rushed toward her.

After inhaling a large amount of holy light, Jubileus placed her right hand in front of her mouth and gently blew out a breath!

With this breath, endless golden holy flames instantly formed and rushed out of Aesir City, heading straight for the demon army. The next second, the holy flames swept over like a tsunami and swallowed the high-level demons who had been brave enough to stay. Countless demons let out earth-shaking screams and turned into ashes without even causing a ripple!

After a while, after the tsunami of holy flames passed, only Roy and the demon lords were left floating alone in the sky of Heaven…

After waking up, the Goddess of Light Jubileus merely took a breath and killed hundreds of thousands of demons…
