Chapter 1132 Diving Towards the Ground

"Angels are stronger than humans"—this is a self-evident fact.

In Christian doctrine, the hierarchy of the two is predetermined, and even saints, who are beings of extraordinary status, are far inferior to angels in rank.

This was already proven by Kanzaki Kaori during the "Angel Fall" incident—even this outstanding human being could only barely contend with the "power of God" despite her best efforts.

To put it more simply and directly, the angels' stats completely overwhelm those of humans.

Even if angels simply exist, they are destined to overwhelm humanity; and the strongest among humans are at best only able to "offend slightly".

Lin Wuming was "resisting," and it was "futile resistance."

Even though he had become a true Level 5 superpowered being, Lin Wuming still felt as if he were facing a "superior species" when facing the Archangel Gabriel.

—It is flawless in every aspect, and there is not a shred of chance of winning.

The feeling is similar to an ordinary person facing a saint at full power... perhaps the gap is even greater.

The result of this is—

Lin Wuming was falling at high speed!
Archangel Gabriel was well aware of the fundamental difference between the two, so He abandoned all other techniques or magic and chose the simplest and most direct way to end the battle.

Crash!

By fully leveraging the inherent advantages of "angels," "divine power," just as its name suggests, manifests the "power of God" in the most primal way.

—A selfless charge.

Breaking through countless barriers of mental energy, He charged into Lin Wuming's arms, bringing a tremendous impact; however... this attack was not fatal, and Lin Wuming did not enter "bullet time" mode, which surprised him slightly.

But Lin Wuming immediately understood why. Gabriel did not intend to use this attack to kill Lin Wuming. He seemed to realize the special nature of "bullet time" and therefore chose a safer tactic.

Using its own "angelic" body and "divine power" as a restraint, it locked Lin Wuming's body, leaving him nowhere to escape; then, it dragged him down to the ground...

Unfurling its angel wings, it accelerates its "fall," or rather, its dive—a rapid descent towards the earth!
Lin Wuming was unable to break free.

Archangel Gabriel's strategy was correct—if He truly possessed thought and "strategy"—in the event of a normal attack, even against a superior being like an angel, Lin Wuming wouldn't be completely helpless thanks to "bullet time," at least he could dodge using "teleportation."

But now, without a fatal crisis, "bullet time" cannot be triggered, and Lin Wuming himself failed to seize the opportunity to actively enter the "bullet time" state; at this time, his whole body is also imprisoned by "divine power", and he has nowhere to escape, so he can only be forced to follow the archangel Gabriel to dive to the ground!
—Do you have a way to deal with attacks like meteorite impacts?
Lin Wuming couldn't help but think to himself.

—If it's a real meteorite impact and you're the one being hit, then there's still a way to deal with it. You can either dodge it or use the "psychic acceleration cannon" to shatter the meteorite.

But now that I'm a "meteorite," I can't exactly shatter the ground, can I?
Moreover, the attack method of crashing into the ground... is unsolvable even by "bullet time" - even if time is slowed down by billions of times, it will still crash into the ground in the end - it is an irreversible dead end!

Lin Wuming attempted to slow down or adjust his direction using his telekinetic powers, but all these attempts failed under the violence of Archangel Gabriel.

It is less than 30,000 meters above the ground.

Lin Wuming made a tough decision, changed his strategy, and simply accelerated further toward the ground.

In this predicament, the only option is to gamble that this "meteorite hitting the earth" attack will also be fatal to Archangel Gabriel, and also to gamble that Gabriel does not intend to perish with him... If so, He will release Him before hitting the ground, and that brief moment will be His chance to save Him!

Therefore, Lin Wuming also accelerated, solely to enhance the destructive power of this attack. He even felt a kind of self-destructive impulse—if all else failed, he might as well take this angel down with him!

Having made up his mind, Lin Wuming devoted himself wholeheartedly to the plan he had devised.

He and Archangel Gabriel accelerated rapidly, quickly overtaking Accelerator who was ahead of them, and swept past him.

"Nameless! Damn it!" Upon seeing this scene, Accelerator immediately realized what had happened and clicked his tongue in amazement. Just as he was about to do something to help, he suddenly saw a streak of light flying from the horizon.

Correction: That was an incredibly fast figure—a new character has joined the battle.

After seeing the newcomer's appearance, Accelerator did not rush to attack, but watched as she charged towards Lin Wuming and Archangel Gabriel below.

That's "Fuse Wind Slash," belonging to the "Artificial Angels" of Academy City.

There is a hierarchical difference between humans and angels, so the only one who can directly confront an angel is another angel.

Fuse. Wind Slash departed a little later than Lin Wuming and Accelerator. Because she possesses space-type superpowers, she can perform super maneuverability within the atmosphere and arrive at the battlefield in time.

Upon entering the battlefield and seeing Lin Wuming in danger, Fuse.Wind Slash didn't have time to think and instinctively adopted the same tactic as Archangel Gabriel earlier—a self-sacrificing charge.

The sculpted face of Gabriel, the "Power of God," displayed a human-like expression of astonishment.

Then he was knocked away by the fuse. Wind Slash.

Driven by the enormous impact, Lin Wuming broke free of his restraints and tumbled violently in the air.

Because of the excessive speed, Lin Wuming was already very close to the ground when he was rescued. As he rolled, his body crashed heavily into the snow.

It stirred up a sky full of white snowflakes and black mud waves.

Having lost the restraint of "divine power," Lin Wuming had ample time to save himself. Although the collision appeared to be extremely destructive, it caused almost no harm to Lin Wuming himself.

"Wind Slash...you really saved my life this time!" Lying in the impact crater, Lin Wuming looked up at the battle in the sky.

Although caught off guard, Archangel Gabriel was indeed stronger than the "artificial angel" Kazakiri.

After the formal confrontation began, Fuse.Wind Slash was quickly suppressed and fell into a disadvantageous position.

Lin Wuming knew he couldn't just keep watching like this.

And so, a "giant" made of mud, stones, wood blocks, and snow rose from the ground.

After the "giant" took shape, it immediately picked up the dirt and stones on the ground around it and threw them into the air.
