254: Chapter 254 Heaven Loses Power, Angels Return to the Forest

Lin Yuan swept his gaze over the children, then looked at Donald.

"Your Heaven, powered by children?"

Donald sat on the chair, his fingers resting on the cross-shaped crystal core pendant.

"This is glory."

He smiled very steadily.

"Their faith is pure, so the miracle will not fade."

Qin Yumo's dual blades hung low.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen held her short blade horizontally.

Both of them realized it.

These children were the batteries for Anar and the Holy Sound.

One child's lips were pale.

Another child had wet themselves, yet they were still singing.

Lin Yuan took a step forward.

"In the Scissor Project, the high-level officials of the Old World treated ordinary people as surplus population."

"You changed the name."

"Called it the Choir."

He looked at the two A-rank guards beside Donald.

One fire, one ice.

Their eyes were originally numb.

When they heard the word "Choir," their eyelids twitched.

Lin Yuan said: "You are not guarding a god."

"It's a butcher."

The singing in the auditorium faltered for a beat.

On the giant colorful web, several lines flashed twice.

A few children stopped their lips, a hint of confusion surfacing in their eyes.

The smile on Donald's face faded.

He raised the cross-shaped crystal core pendant.

"Amen!"

The Holy Sound rose in volume.

The thin threads tightened simultaneously.

Blood seeped from the corners of the children's mouths, and the singing became orderly again.

Outside battlefield.

Four wings unfolded behind Anar.

The white light condensed into a spear, bypassed Wang Ya, and blasted toward the abandoned elevated road in the rear.

Wang Ya raised her hand.

A water curtain pushed horizontally, blocking half of it.

The remaining impact collapsed the elevated road.

Frontline soldiers scattered.

Debris pounded on the roof of the armored vehicle, making a thumping sound.

Donald's voice spread throughout Wan City via broadcast.

"Did you see that?"

"We fight for God."

He waved his hand.

The ice-element guard lunged at Lin Yuan.

The fire-element guard raised his palm, and flames sealed off the path of Qin Yumo and Grandmaster Ling Suzhen.

Cameras on both sides of the auditorium rotated.

The footage was synchronized to the global public channel.

Donald stood up.

"The whole world will see."

"How the tyrant Lin Yuan is judged by divine punishment in front of children."

In the ruins of Wan City, the remaining believers looked up again.

Some knelt down again.

"God is still here."

"We are not leaving."

A chill rushed into his face.

Lin Yuan did not move.

Qin Yumo moved first.

She actively passed through the flames and collided with the ice blade.

The flames scorched her arm, the ice blade sliced her shoulder and arm, and blood fell to the ground.

The pain ignited Wild Resonance.

Her speed increased, and her dual blades cut in.

Clang!

The blade edge collided with the ice armor.

The ice-element guard was forced back half a step.

Qin Yumo's voice was cold and hard.

"In front of Master, you are not even worthy of testing him."

On the other side.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen closed in along the edge of the flames, her short blade pressing down on the fire-element guard's wrist.

The pillar of fire deflected, burning through the wall.

The old wound on her shoulder tore open.

Blood flowed down along the bandages.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen struck with her knee.

The fire-element guard retreated, his shoe soles leaving two black marks.

The smile on Donald's face froze for a moment.

According to the intelligence, Grandmaster Ling Suzhen shouldn't be this strong.

According to his original plan, two A-ranks plus the augmentation of the Choir and the weakening of the opponents.

Would be more than enough to defeat Qin Yumo.

The singing of the children in the auditorium became chaotic again.

The light of the giant web began to dim.

Lin Yuan did not watch the fight.

He walked straight to the main node of the colorful giant web.

There was the thickest colorful thread emerging from the ground.

Donald's voice rose.

"How dare you! These children will all suffer brain death!"

Qin Yumo's movements paused for a second.

The ice-element guard seized the opportunity, his ice blade grazing her ribs.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen was also grazed by the wave of fire and retreated half a step.

The external communication went quiet.

Children.

Hundreds of children.

This was Donald's blade.

Lin Yuan stood in front of the Choir, looking down at that thread.

"You are using them to threaten me."

"Because you think I will save them."

A glint appeared in Donald's eyes.

He pointed to the camera with the red light still on.

"Isn't that right?"

"Now take your people and leave, and God will forgive you."

Lin Yuan raised his foot.

Stepped down.

Snap.

The thread broke.

No negotiation.

No dismantling.

No choosing according to the problem Donald set.

The colorful giant web extinguished.

Hundreds of children fell to the ground simultaneously.

The singing stopped.

Donald stood up.

"You?!"

Lin Yuan looked at him.

"You threaten me, and I have to be afraid?"

"I don't believe a single word of the crap you spout."

Outside battlefield.

The light of Anar's four wings suddenly dimmed.

Wang Ya's water prison closed in.

Water lines wrapped around her wrists, ankles, and wing roots, pressing her down from mid-air.

Boom!

The snowy ground exploded.

The angel fell to the ground.

The pendants on the chests of the Templar Knights dimmed one by one.

Qin Yumo and Grandmaster Ling Suzhen counterattacked simultaneously.

Without the Choir's augmentation, the ice-element guard retreated three steps in a row.

Qin Yumo sliced open his throat guard with one blade.

The second blade severed his spine.

Grandmaster Ling Suzhen flicked her short blade along the crook of the fire-element guard's elbow.

The flames deflected.

She stepped forward half a step, the blade entering his heart.

Two A-ranks fell.

The remaining composure on Donald's face finally cracked.

"No... impossible, without the Holy Sound, you are also A-rank..."

Qin Yumo licked her lips.

"Superpowers also have levels of strength."

Donald shouted through gritted teeth.

"Lin Yuan, do you think you've won?"

He spread his arms.

"Anar is not just a miracle."

"She is also the core of Heaven."

"After losing the fuse of Heaven, she will explode."

"The power is no less than a nuclear bomb."

"You are seeking your own death."

Liu Qing's voice was half a beat hurried.

"Master, the energy readings inside Anar are skyrocketing."

"For safety, we must evacuate immediately."

Where Anar fell, white light shone through her skin.

Wang Ya's water prison was forced open.

The water area under her feet exploded continuously and then re-aggregated.

Lin Motong stood beside the armored vehicle holding her teddy bear and looked up.

Black and red pupil light spread out.

Taking advantage of the fact that the attention of the people in front of him was diverted, Donald took out an A-rank crystal core.

"Goodbye, you young person who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

"The United States sends its regards to your whole family."

"Hahahaha."

Spatial ripples lit up beneath his feet.

What he didn't know was that Lin Yuan's super-high Mental Energy of 156 had long since noticed his small movements.

Looking at this blond-haired man in front of him, Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Grandmaster Ling."

At Grandmaster Ling Suzhen's fingertips, a crystal core shattered.

Time around them stopped for half a breath.

The disgusting smile on Donald's face froze at its most arrogant moment, with his gums clearly visible.

The unaffected Lin Yuan raised his hand.

Dimensional Space opened.

The A-rank crystal core in Donald's palm disappeared into thin air.

Half a breath ended.

Spatial ripples extinguished.

Donald stood on the spot with empty hands.

He looked down at his palm.

Confusion overwhelmed his disguise for the first time.

Lin Yuan said: "What did you say?"

Qin Yumo's blade pressed against his neck.

A line of blood appeared.

Outside.

The white light inside Anar expanded to the limit.

Lin Motong took a step forward.

Wang Ya turned back.

"Lin Motong."

Lin Motong shook her head.

"Daddy wants a toy that can move."

"If it blows up, Daddy won't be able to play with it."

The black and red in her eyes pressed down.

The Empress's authority covered the ruins.

The white light was forcibly locked back into Anar's body.

Anar's four wings twitched.

Her mask cracked a slit.

The exposed eyes had no focus.

A few seconds later.

The white light extinguished.

Anar in the snow stopped moving.

Lin Motong raised her hand.

The Zombie Horde lowered themselves.

Black and red Mental Energy drilled into Anar's body.

Her four light wings were stained with gray-white patterns bit by bit, and black lines grew at the wing roots.

It was more like being taken over again.

Anar stood up from the snow.

The mask shattered and fell.

Silver-white long hair hung down.

A circle of black and red surfaced on the edge of her gray-white pupils.

In the ruins of Wan City, no one was singing anymore.

Even the crying stopped.

Zhao Dingshan watched the screen, his Adam's apple bobbing.

Lieutenant Colonel Liu Zheng whispered, "The angel... has become Lin Yuan's?"

Tang Qiqi was stunned for two seconds in B2.

"Good grief."

"Limited edition bird-woman."

"Should I design a sexy outfit for her?"

Inside the auditorium.

Captain Han Xue and the medical team took over the children.

Whatever brain death, it was just Donald's bluff.

Without formations, without equipment, just relying on a few energy lines to cause brain death?

Then the Pharmacist wouldn't have needed to turn Lujiazui into a living hell in Shanghai back then.

A boy in a white robe slowly opened his eyes.

He didn't cry, just looked at Lin Yuan.

"Uncle..."

"Is Heaven gone?"

Lin Yuan glanced at him.

"It's gone."

The boy's lips moved.

"Then can I sleep?"

Captain Han Xue picked him up, her voice lowered.

"Yes."

Donald was pressed to his knees on the ground by Qin Yumo.

He looked at Anar standing up on the screen, the color draining from his face bit by bit.

Lin Yuan walked up to him.

"Now, tell me."

"Do you still have contact with the United States?"
