The Dragon'S Blue Gem
(S3) Chapter 174 [Continent Collapse]

Arc-Angel Palace, Floating Continent

"Lu.cy.." groaned Uriel before her consciousness disappeared.

Uriel's eyes were dimly blurred. His body was lying on the floor helpless. Not only him, the same thing happened to Gabriel, Raphael and Zaphkiel. The four of them had comprehended a crushing defeat when against their former comrades.

Nostra 3rd Chair, The Fallen Angel, Lucifer

Lucifer's appearance was now very much different from the Luciel they were familiar with. His eyes were so cold and piercing. His expression was very dark, cruel and exuded a dangerous aura. Luciel who is warm, kind, careless, ignorant and cunning is no more.

Lucifer looked down upon the Arc-Angel lying beneath him. He walked up to them and snatched their halo ring and put it into a different dimension.

"Well, you're cruel too. They were your friends!" hecate's grim who was sitting in a henchman watching Lucifer fight.

Nostra's 8th chair, The Thousand Shadows, Hecate

"Well, no wonder. You're a super rookie who immediately occupies the third seat once entered after robbing your little friend's halo ring."

Hecate's words refer to Luciel's betrayal of Michael. At that time, after Luciel became the Fallen Angel Lucifer, Lucifer experienced a significant decrease in strength. Since Arc-Angel was created from light, directly by the Goddess, then when they rejected that light, their bodies would suffer damage and deterioration in quality.

But Lucifer outsmarted him by utilizing Michael's halo ring. He made use of the fact that his fellow Arc-Angel had high resonance and synchronization in the use of halo rings. In other words, it was easy for fellow Arc-Angel to borrow the power of another Arc-Angel. And it is also easy for them to take the property of others.

Thanks to that, Lucifer can restore his strength and become stronger so that he immediately occupies the third seat of the nostra. Lucifer's level is now at the Tssera level.

"If you also absorb the halo rings of the four of them, it will be as strong as anything later ya~" hummed Hecate.

Lucifer didn't bully her. "Borrowing Michael's own is already very draining. I can't use any of the other's if I want to maintain my consciousness."

"One. or a maximum of two, that's a limit that my body can bear."

Lucifer let out a small sigh, barely visible. The woman extended her hand towards the Arc-Angel. Simultaneously, the four of them were lifted into the air in an unconscious state. From there, Lucifer throws them into an all-black, slime-like creature in the shape of a large human.

BUUGH

"Bring them!" lucifer's orders.

The black creature carried all four Arc-Angel at once on its shoulders. "I understand, Madam."

Together with the creature, Lucifer leaves the Arc-Angel palace without waiting for Hecate. Hecate who was now in the body of a twintail-haired little girl seemed to sulk at Lucifer's treatment.

"Y!! Don't leave me, woi!! We are assigned together!!!" he chases after Lucifer.

With her mouth twitching the lollipop, Hecate continued to ramble next to Lucifer.

"Nee, nee... What do you want? Not killed?"

"Arc-Angel's body is precious. Killing him would only be a waste of resources. I will make full use of them" Lucifer replied calmly.

"Hmm~ then, may I make one of them my experiment materials?" tanya Hecate was excited.

Lucifer glanced at the girl with eyes that were hard to decipher, "Depending on what experiment it was."

Hecate did not expect Lucifer would not immediately reject him. To be honest, he doubted Lucifer's loyalty to Nostra because he did not kill the other Arc-Angel.

"It's like the experiment replayed the time they were exciting too. I want to make him a baby again, his memory is lost and try to be re-taught. What will the child be like later~?" jovial Hecate.

"ah! Keep going! I'm looking good again!! What if, something is not replayed, but only erased his memory so! Keep his race changed the same entered the memory of others. If that's how he's going to be a different person isn't it?"

"Yah!! Artificial creatures can also be made!!! I want to join two people!! If their memory, body and soul were united, would they be destroyed by each other's rejection? Or are they alive and becoming more amazing? Or are they even disabled for life!? Can't wait to get!!" the little girl's glee.

Lucifer did not change his expression even after hearing all that. He glanced at Hecate and the Arc-Angel alternately. His head was thinking something.

"..... The third attempt was rejected. It would be troublesome if they just became stronger."

"?"

Hecate's eyes instantly twinkled. "That means the first and second can be!!??"

"There's a condition."

"Sure, sure!! Just say!!!"

"For the first one, you have to hand the baby over to me after the experiment is over. I'll educate him myself, I'll beat him anyway."

"Can, can."

"For the second, I will choose whose memory will be planted into him. And I'll take him after that. It's up to me to get it done."

"Bo.blu. The point is you just want to take all the results, right?" tanya Hecate quipped.

"No, anyway. That's your right. I really enjoyed the process!" answer Hecate.

"Last..."

"Eh!? There's more!?"

"Last!"

"Hufth. okay, just say it..."

"I don't want any defects during the experiment. I handed the products in good condition, so I also want them to come out in good condition. Otherwise, prepare your life instead," Lucifer said with emphasis.

"Oi, oi, oi... Who do you think I am? If that need not be said. All the experiments I've done have always been successful without flaw, don't worry. Your high-class products will not be damaged anyway" replied Hecate confidently.

"Just so."

"So? Who are you gonna hand it over to me?"

".... I'll give Gabriel the first experiment and Raphael the second. Uriel and Zaphkiel will wear them myself" said Lucifer after a moment of thought.

"OK ready!! Promise yes!!!!"

"Yes, yeah..."

Together, the two stepped out of the Arc-Angel palace. There were countless angels who were battered, fainted, and even died on the road they were on. The angels tried to stop them both. But the power difference is too great to make them can do nothing but donate their lives when their superiors are taken away by criminals.

At the end of the Floating Continent, a young, fit and muscular grandfather (shadow-like sebas) was waiting for them while feeding his Wyvern.

[ The wyvern ]

The wivern is a mythological winged creature with a dragon head, reptilian body, two legs, and a curled tail. They are distant relatives of dragons and have a similar shape but are much smaller than dragons. Of course, his strength and intelligence are very different. However they are still dangerous creatures and have a high level.

Realizing the arrival of Lucifer and Hecate, the grandfather stopped feeding his Wyvern and turned towards them. "Yes, Oya... You guys have arrived. Hm? Ohoho, and even bring souvenirs."

"What is it for our Goddess? Or for Lord Vladislava?" ask the grandfather.

Hecate shook his head with a mocking smile, "No, no! This is Lucifer's private property. Ifi's grandfather better not say that, otherwise Lucifer will be angry."

The grandfather chuckled, "Ohohoho, so it was. Then forgive me, Miss Lucifer."

"No problem. Come back," said Lucifer casually.

The woman took out her wide black wings that were as dark as night but shone like a star. The black creature that was Lucifer's direct subordinate flew behind him without any wings thanks to Lucifer's gravitational magic.

"Y!! This Lucifer!! She is why the hell!? I love playing that game!!!" hecate growled while puffing his cheeks.

"Hohoho, let's follow up with Miss Hecate.

"Alright. let's go cake. Before the nagging granny scolded us for being late."

Hecate jumped high, riding one of the Wyverns.

Before long, the grandfather also boarded another Wyvern. "Miss Mael would be upset if you called her such a granny."

"Biarin, he won't be horrified!" reply Hecate.

The two flew up Wyvern, back to their origin, the Nostra headquarters that was deep within the Demon Continent, precisely at the near end of the Land of Death.

And just before they flew darting after Lucifer, the grandfather stopped his Wyvern facing the Soaring Continent.

"Hohoho, as expected. Miss Lucifer didn't do much damage. Either because he was like that, or because this place holds a lot of memories."

The grandfather crossed his arms forward, pointing straight at the Soaring Continent. The eyes that he had always closed were like that of a blind man, slightly open. His eyes are no ordinary eyes. The grandfather's eyes did not have a ball or difference in the color of the iris of the eye with the white part of the eye like ordinary people. His eyes had only one color, and it was the color of the universe.

[Vselennaya prikazala snova vernut ⁇ ya v ob ⁇ yatiya material-zemli. Spuskat ⁇ ya! ]

Right after that sentence was said, Demetria rumbled. There was a high earthquake not only around the grandfather, but also felt all over the world. The world was again shocked by the wide-scale magic whose impact could be felt to the limit of the fairies and spirits surrounding the Floating Continent and the Demons.

The Mythic level magic whose impact had almost reached the God level instantly attracted the attention of all Demetria living beings including beings outside the boundaries that kept the peace of Demetria, such as Great Dragon, Fairy and Spirit.

"I Ifigenia, 2nd Chair of Nostra, call for a war drum on behalf of my Goddess," said the grandfather as he bowed politely over his Wyvern which flew into the gate that led to their headquarters.

Exactly a few seconds after the shadow of the grandfather disappeared, the Soaring Continent that was the origin of the earthquake lost its flying ability and collapsed into the ocean.
