After expanding the Sacerdotal Faith Department, Lear felt quite pleased.

The potential threat brought by the Abyssal Dark Stone has been eliminated, allowing for more audacious preaching in the future.

Moreover, it’s a virtuous cycle; the broader the preaching, the greater the number of believers, increasing the chances of a fanatic being born.

The more fanatics there are, the safer this method becomes.

After finishing the work here, he didn’t rest and headed straight to Katana.

Flesh Butcher constructing the Divine Kingdom and hunting the Ghost God will still take some time.

Once this Divine Spirit, who has mastered new Power of Authority, has completed the construction of the Divine Kingdom, arrangements for the Dragon of Death will proceed.

Lear’s consciousness awakened within the vine body, and he immediately opened the Intelligence System—

The Desecrating Angels will be guided by a Divine Spirit from the Wild Pantheon to Katana on November 24th, with numbers exceeding a thousand.

They can be lured to the Temple, where the Wetland Angels can execute these corrupted beings.

The Divine Abomination is an entity born from the battle between the Creator God and the Ancient God at the beginning of creation.

It was sealed in the Underworld.

The release of this entity directly caused the collapse of the Underworld, triggering a series of chain reactions.

The prelude to this great upheaval began as a result.

However, the Divine Abomination soon vanished without a trace, with its few appearances merely being aftershock effects from its awakening.

The birth of the Desecrating Angels resulted from the Divine Abomination Power leaking out to the Original Plane, affecting the rules and causing many temples to become corrupted.

The scariest thing is the unknown.

With intelligence suggesting knowledge of specific reasons, Lear felt prepared.

After calming his mind, he headed straight to the Swamp Temple.

Gazing at the moss-covered Temple, his thoughts stirred, and he instantly exhausted the Power of Faith in his hand.

He recruited two squadrons of Wetland Angels.

Thus, the number of Wetland Angels in his hand reached an unprecedented five squadrons!

These are undeniably the ultimate soldiers.

Although possessing tens of thousands of Swamp Divine Race, they ultimately cannot enter Katana.

These five squadrons are equivalent to giving Katana a trump card, providing substantial confidence when facing enemy attacks.

However, the problem is, the number of Desecrating Angels is as many as a thousand, double that of the Wetland Angels.

To intercept these corrupted ultimate soldiers, additional arrangements are needed.

After glancing through the intelligence a few more times, an arrangement was formed in his mind.

On the night of November 23rd, Lear ordered everyone to retreat into the Underground City.

After months of construction, Katana’s Underground City is now quite complete, capable of accommodating 400,000 people, making 300,000 people easily manageable.

The army all retreated to guard near the Temple, with the Cold-blooded Cavalry, Dark Night Elves, and Half-Elf Shooters temporarily hiding in the vine building cluster.

Ancient Tree Guardians, which can’t be hidden, took root around the Temple.

Above the Temple, 200 Wetland Angels floated in the air.

The air was silently still.

In the quiet wait, the time reached the early morning of November 24th.

A low and distant howl suddenly rose outside Katana.

It was like the howling of wolves under the moon.

The sound was sorrowful and ferocious, chilling to the heart.

The howling quickly approached, and within a dozen breaths, it echoed outside Katana City.

Staring outside the city, Lear’s gaze suddenly sharpened.

A heart-stopping silhouette was reflected in his sight.

At this moment, one by one, the Desecrating Angels, exuding a rancid aura and with large patches of flesh falling off, flew quickly toward them.

Half of their faces still retained the perfect contour of an Angel, but the other half was decayed down to the bone, like the aftermath of being scorched by Dragon Breath.

Their chests were split open with spider-web-like wounds, exposing black muscles and bright red vessels, forming a stark contrast.

Large portions of muscle on their arms and legs peeled away, with white bones wildly exposed to the air, and the bones inscribed with obscure blasphemous runes, exuding dark aura.

Their wings, highly decayed, had only remnants of flesh hanging on.

Their entire bodies were enveloped in a shroud of corrupt fog.

Overall, they looked like unparalleled fiends born from corpses!

Desecrating Angels, ultimate soldiers, Level: 1 Star, Talent: Corruption, those killed by them will be corrupted into desecrating beings, Skills: Divine Profanity, Flesh Sacrifice, Damage Transfer...

Perceiving the presence of a living being, these ultimate creatures, corrupted by the Divine Abomination, suddenly became excited as they rushed into Katana.

On the angelic half of their faces, a gratified smile appeared... paired with the skeletal half, it was bone-chilling.

The Desecrating Angels suddenly accelerated towards the Temple.

They didn’t even bother to glance at the ground...

Witnessing this scene, Lear felt a sense of relief.

Although there were many Desecrating Angels, the value of 2 Stars intelligence dictated that the difficulty of countermeasure would not be insurmountable.

As the Desecrating Angels approached the Temple, the eyes of the Wetland Angels in the sky suddenly turned ice-cold.

The Cyan Moss Wings flapped, diving down like arrows.

In mid-air, they left behind several afterimages.

The severely decayed bodies of the Desecrating Angels burned with cold gaze, their hands wielding the long White Bone Battle Saber ferociously.

Like fierce and frenzied lone wolves.

CLANK~

In the frenzied charge, both sides clashed directly!

Sparks flew everywhere.

The Cyan Moss Battle Saber in the hand of the Wetland Angels interlocked with the white bone in battle.

Sizzle~ Sparks flew, and the surrounding void rippled like stones thrown into water, causing waves of ripples.

The Wetland Angels at the forefront clashed with the Desecrating Angels in fierce close-quarters battle.

The scene became extremely frenzied in the moment of their clash.

Every attack blurred the surroundings.

After consecutive strikes, the Desecrating Angel suddenly seized an opportunity, its White Bone Battle Saber misaligned, viciously slashing at the chest of the Wetland Angel.

But before it could rejoice, a translucent Cyan Moss Shield rippled, blocking its attack.

The Wetland Angel’s gaze turned cold, and a terrifying Sword Qi suddenly erupted, directly cleaving through dozens of meters of void space ahead.

The Desecrating Angel, thinking it had the upper hand, had no time to evade and was torn apart by the Sword Qi.

The Wetland Angel advanced fiercely, delivering a kick as if a boulder had collided.

Bang~ The opponent’s body was knocked back tens of meters.

But astonishingly, at the moment of being knocked back, the severely damaged body of the Desecrating Angel was reforged.

Once again wielding the saber to attack.

The scene escalated even more fiercely!

As both sides fought more intensely, suddenly, a terrifying Cyan Moss Battle Sword appeared in the sky.

It pierced straight down, targeting those Desecrating Angels...

The Desecrating Angels were in a panic, desperately attempting to flee.

But as they moved, that Cyan Moss Battle Sword directly pierced through time and space, penetrating the head of a Desecrating Angel.

Splatter~

The soul was directly annihilated.

Swamp Judgment——selects enemies within 300 meters for a forced judgment, summoning a 10-meter-long Cyan Moss Holy Sword to descend from the sky to execute the enemy, guaranteeing a hit with a 90% chance of execution on non-hero units, killing them directly.

Has a 50% chance of triggering execution on hero units, each cast consuming 5000 points of Cyan Moss Power.

Killing Skill!

But the Desecrating Angel suddenly twisted, its Fire of the Soul unexpectedly reignited at that moment.

Yet, before they could recover, a second Cyan Moss Battle Sword coalesced in the void... Splatter~

Crack~

The Desecrating Angel’s soul shattered once again.

This time, the nearby Wetland Angel suddenly spewed blood from its mouth.

Crack~ The Cyan Moss Shield on its body directly shattered, unleashing an energy shockwave impacting hundreds of meters...

Damage rebound!

In that instant, the Desecrating Angel’s soul and body reformed once more.

But as they resumed their actions, a third time, the Cyan Moss Battle Sword appeared in the sky!

This time, splatter~ the struck Desecrating Angel exploded instantly, turning into a skyful of blood mist.

Dead on the spot!

Over two hundred Desecrating Angels were thus all executed...

The scene appeared quite spectacular.

At the same time, Desecrating Angels continued to pour into Katana City.

The Wetland Angels did not retreat or avoid.

They engaged forcefully!

The Cyan Moss Battle Swords in the sky did not slow down but instead appeared even more densely... First wave soul slash, second wave damage rebound, third wave execution.

One must admit the power of this Ultimate Soldier, requiring three Killing Skills to truly kill them.

If it were an ordinary army, they would have already collapsed.

And as long as they were near a temple, the recovery speed of the Wetland Angels’ Cyan Moss Power was extremely fast.

No worries about consumption issues...

Those Wetland Angels casting Swamp Judgment were all hidden within the vine-based building complex below.

The outside attracted the Desecrating Angels’ attention, while the inside cast their Killing Skills.

If the enemy had commanders, they wouldn’t be so easily killed... But these Wetland Angels were unconsciously corrupted by the Divine Abomination Power, with no one commanding, only instinct to destroy and corrupt everything.

An uncommanded unit is a scattered army; no matter how powerful, it shatters when faced with a well-coordinated regular army.

The desecrating angels that came one after another were forcefully executed by the Wetland Angels.

Until the last wave, an anomaly appeared, this time directly surging in with 4 squadrons... Their ferocious stance was as if they intended to overturn all of Katana City!

But this time, the Wetland Angels did not hold back. After executing two squadrons, they charged directly from their hidden buildings.

Along with their companions in the sky, they hunted the enemy.

In the battle grindings, the fearsome nature of these Desecrating Angels was revealed.

Once killed, they could rapidly reforge and resurrect, even transferring damage to the Wetland Angels, requiring three total deaths to truly resolve them!

If they weren’t outnumbered and more coordinated, these two hundred Desecrating Angels might have caused considerable damage to the Wetland Angels.

But, war doesn’t deal in ’ifs’.

The last remaining Desecrating Angel was soon executed.

A victory with no casualties.

Lear looked at the now calm battlefield, taking a deep breath.

He did not feel much excitement; instead, he felt a bit heavy-hearted.

This massacre reminded him of more; these Desecrating Angels had only just been corrupted recently, yet their combat power was already so monstrous.

If they were Ultimate Soldiers personally corrupted by the Divine Abomination, how strong would they be?

If the current situation continues to evolve, they will inevitably confront even stronger Divine Spirits in the future.

At that time, the strength of the Ultimate Soldiers could very well decide the battlefield’s victory or defeat.

As he pondered, his gaze landed on a talent of the Wetland Angels.

Killing over ten thousand lives will promote them to 2 Stars.

Although they had gone through several battles, they were still far from that figure.

It seems a way to improve the Wetland Angels’ level is needed.

Simultaneously, a method to increase the number and level of the Swamp Divine Race, Master of Marshes should be considered... preparedness averts peril.
