American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 450 Angel of Justice
The changes in the dream world seem to be affecting the real world.

First, FEA's detection equipment detected a high-energy reaction. Then, some of the unconscious people's bodies suddenly turned completely black, and a large number of tentacles inexplicably grew from their bodies, which began to attack people around them.

These mutated comatose individuals appeared to be immune to physical attacks, catching the FEA completely off guard, and several FEA agents were killed on the spot.

Thankfully, Jennifer and Neddy stepped in, especially Neddy.

Holy Light has a strong restraining effect on mutated comatose individuals, and thanks to Nidi's outstanding performance, FEA finally managed to control the situation.

However, this also made Gerald realize that Jennifer and Nydy were also supernatural beings. He had previously thought that these two were just pretty faces and that Roy was the one who solved the supernatural incidents.

Elizabeth, standing at the top of the Ferris wheel, looked extremely displeased and glared fiercely at Hannibal.

"Beelzebub, is this what you meant by 'no problem'?"

Hannibal frowned.

"How could this be? I only reshaped the bodies of four evil spirits and enhanced their strength, but that shouldn't have alarmed something like that. Lord Belial, is Mr. Black perhaps a bit special?"

Elizabeth was startled. She had actually been spying on Roy all along, and sometimes even watched him act in pornographic films.

Therefore, Elizabeth knew that Roy had some special abilities, including the ability to manipulate fear, which even she did not know how to do.

Elizabeth offered the Seed of Fear in exchange because she knew Roy possessed the ability to control fear.

"That's your problem! You promised that nothing would happen!"

The Sloth King is not one to reason, especially since Hannibal had indeed made a promise beforehand.

This left Hannibal feeling extremely helpless.

“Very well, Lord Belial, if you insist on doing this, I will take action now.”

At that moment, the dream world suddenly changed.

Roy couldn't stand by and watch over eight hundred innocent people die like this. In order to stabilize the surrounding space, he had to join forces with Freddy.

"Freddy, we must join forces! Otherwise, this dream world will collapse!"

Freddie hated Roy, but he was even more afraid of dying.

Now that the dream world is blocked, Freddy has no way out and has no choice but to take a gamble.

If he were to die again, Freddie wasn't sure if he could be resurrected, so he readily accepted Roy's suggestion.

"Alright! Let's work together to stabilize this dream world!"

Roy, in the guise of fear, maximizes the conversion of chaotic energy within his body into the power of fear, using his Nightmare ability to maintain the stability of the dream world.

Freddy's fear energy Keane is not as powerful as Roy's at the moment, but he has a better understanding of the Nightmare ability, so he can stabilize the overall framework of Roy and fill in some minor details.

With their combined efforts, the dream world gradually stabilized, the broken parts began to be repaired, and everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.

Just as Roy breathed a sigh of relief, the entire sky suddenly turned from day to night, and countless eyeballs appeared.

These eyeballs carried a terrifying malice, causing people's sanity to plummet. Even Roy, whose willpower attribute was as high as 99, felt as if his mind had been polluted.

Not to mention the ordinary people in the audience.

Many people instantly went into a state of madness, turning into beings as black and twisted as those grabbed by the black tentacles.

These mutated beings are attacking others around them in a frenzy.

Roy had a very bad feeling. The dream world had stabilized, but everyone had mutated into monsters.

Moreover, Freddie seemed to be affected by the eyeballs as well. He was never a man of strong will to begin with, and now he stood motionless on the podium.

To make matters worse, the three men who had just had their power drained by Roy's Fear Avatar form had recovered and stood up again.

Jason actually spoke up.

"Got you!"

Roy's pupils contracted. Jason's voice seemed to come from time immemorial. It was definitely not his original voice; it was very likely that an eyeball from the sky had attached itself to him.

It can't go on like this!

Roy suddenly reverted to human form and then began to transform into an angel.

The three burly men were about to charge at Roy, but the holy light emanating from the angel dispelled the darkness within them.

"No—this is impossible!"

With eight wings of light and standing on four halos of courage, protection, vitality, and purification, Roy emits a dazzling holy light, like a lighthouse in the dark dream world.

The purification aura can restore mutated individuals to their original state.

A vibrant aura can rejuvenate people's spirits.

The protective aura prevents darkness from harming people.

The aura of courage can help people resist the pollution of their eyes.

People who had returned to normal instinctively gathered around Roy for shelter, but the eyeball in the sky was unwilling to give up so easily and continued to exert mental pollution.

"Don't think you can fight me like this!"

Roy knew he couldn't fight the primal fear, even though the power of the Holy Light had a strong suppressive effect on the guy.

However, the difference in scale between the two sides was simply too great. Roy could only provide protection for a short period of time. Once all the chaotic energy in his body was exhausted, he would inevitably be killed by primal fear.

Unless... Roy's angel form can continue to upgrade!
At this point, some of the sheltered spectators began to kneel on the ground and pray to God; it was the only thing they could do.

Regardless of America's public image, the country remains a country with a very strong religious atmosphere. Even in the magical future, there is still a large number of believers supporting the traditionalists, let alone now that it is 2000.

Even if some people are not devout believers, at this time they can only kneel down and pray with others, at least that way they can feel more at ease.

Large and small points of light appeared on the bodies of the eight hundred people. These points of light slowly converged on Roy's body, making him feel that the energy in his body was actually starting to increase.

Could this be the power of faith?

Roy has always replenished his Chaos Energy by collecting Fear, Desire, and Justice.

This was the first time Roy had ever seen such an energy, similar to the power of faith, and its level was extremely high, far exceeding the level of justice.

Roy's energy is recovering rapidly; at this rate, it will be fully replenished in a few more minutes.

But simply restoring his health to full isn't enough; Roy needs to continue upgrading his angel form.

Therefore, Roy began to actively absorb the power of faith, wanting to use this power to break through to the 10-winged angel form.

"what--"

The holy light emanating from Roy grew ever brighter. If he was a beacon in the dream world before, he was now a small sun within it.

The dazzling light dispelled the surrounding darkness, and even the eyes in the sky had to close their eyes to avoid being blinded by the brilliance.

In this situation, Roy felt his spirit had been elevated.

A pair of new wings of light grew from his back with the help of the power of faith, carrying a new aura ability called the Aura of Redemption.

The Aura of Redemption can release souls that are controlled and unable to go to heaven, allowing them to find salvation. Coincidentally, the four major Hollywood assassins nearby, all notorious killers, imprisoned countless wronged souls within them. At this moment, Roy's Aura of Redemption released them all.

Without these souls, the four assassins were back to square one, losing all their former power.

That's not all; primal fear also devoured a large number of wronged souls, making the four major killers pale in comparison.

As a result, under the halo of redemption, even the primal fear suffered heavy losses, and within seconds it was forced to vomit out thousands of wronged souls.

Even if they devoured all the ordinary souls on Roy's side, it wouldn't make up for the loss.

To make matters worse, the ascension of a large number of wronged souls caused the gates of heaven to open in the dream world.

However, this time, the angels who came were not Michael and Rachel, but a twelve-winged angel wearing a fiery red battle robe and holding a spear.

Considering that Roy has already met three of the four twelve-winged archangels—Michael, Uriel, and Raphael—this twelve-winged angel must be the last archangel, the angel of justice, Gabriel.

"Primal fear, what are you doing!"

"Gabriel, it's you! Could this all be a conspiracy orchestrated by you?!"

"Hmph! God's messengers never stoop to using intrigue! Only worms like you need intrigue! Go, Spear of Longinus!"

Without a word, Gabriel threw his spear, which turned out to be the legendary Holy Lance that killed Jesus and was stained with the blood of Christ.

With Roy's keen eyesight, he couldn't see the trajectory of the Lance of Longinus at all. Gabriel seemed to have simply made the motion of throwing the Lance, and then the Lance simply disappeared.

The next second, a terrifying scream came from the darkness.

"Gabriel, I'll remember you!"

The darkness began to recede rapidly, and then the dream world began to regain its light, while the wronged souls continued to fly towards the gates of heaven.

The Spear of Longinus returned to Gabriel's hands, and he slowly descended to stand before Roy.

"Roy Black?"

Roy looked at Gabriel in surprise; he was certain that this was the first time he had met the Angel of Justice.

"You know me?"

Gabriel nodded.

“I have already heard about your deeds from Michael, Uriel, and Raphael.”

Although Uriel and Raphael were on Earth, they were still able to communicate with Heaven.

Roy suddenly realized what was going on and was about to ask Gabriel what was wrong when the other man glanced at the sky and then turned and left.

"Roy Black, I hope you won't go astray in the future."

Why can't this person say anything?
Well, it seems like all angels are like that. When Roy first met Michael, the other angel spoke quite strangely, and so did Rachel.

Angels like Uriel and Raphael, who could perfectly integrate into human society, might be the odd ones out in Heaven.

Gabriel returned to the Gates of Heaven, taking with him the released souls.

Roy then used his Nightmare ability to bring everyone out of the dream world to prevent Primal Fear from launching a surprise attack.

Inside the tent, Roy returned to reality in the form of a ten-winged angel, startling everyone.

Thankfully, this was inside a tent; if it had been outdoors, it would probably have been filmed by a helicopter from a distant television station.

"Roy, you're finally awake!"

Ashley and Meryl embraced Roy on either side, staying by his side after he woke up.

As for Jennifer and Nydia, they were keeping watch at Santa Monica Beach because some people had previously mutated and attacked others.

Claire stood not far away, watching her best friend with envy. She also longed for a warm hug.

However, since Claire has chosen the path to heaven, she will inevitably have to sacrifice something.

Gerald was immediately informed by FEA agents that Roy had awakened.

"Mr. Blake, how is the situation?"

"I have successfully brought most of the people out."

There were still about a hundred people who were killed in the dream by the four Hollywood assassins. Roy couldn't save them. Their souls had probably already entered heaven and were probably already at the entrance to Hell.

Upon hearing this, Gerald breathed a sigh of relief.

If thousands of people died suddenly without natural disasters or war, Gerald's term as director would be over.

Fortunately, Roy minimized the losses.

"Thanks to you, Mr. Black, I owe you a favor!"

Roy rubbed his temples wearily.

"Let's save the pleasantries for tomorrow. Right now, I just want to go back and get some rest."

Gerald nodded.

"Mr. Black, you can go back and rest now. Leave the rest to FEA."

The FEA in Los Angeles is very professional at cleaning up messes, but what happened tonight is destined to have a huge impact.

With the increasing number of supernatural events worldwide, coupled with the growing development of the internet, it is becoming increasingly difficult to conceal certain matters.

Gerald was having a headache over this.

The FEA has the ability to suppress mainstream media and silence them, but it cannot silence a thousand victims.

There will always be someone who posts about it online or spreads it through tabloids.

America is the world's largest breeding ground for conspiracy theories.

"It seems we can only take it one step at a time!"

Gerald scratched his head; his hair had been falling out in a clump lately, and it seemed his last bit of stubbornness was about to give way.

FEA got busy, and no one noticed the two people standing on the Ferris wheel.

"Lord Belial, it seems I don't need to take action."

Hannibal smiled. This was the best outcome. He could tell the three demon kings the truth: it wasn't that he failed to kill Roy, but that Roy's strength exceeded his expectations, and Gabriel had also intervened.

"Hmph! Of course, don't you see who chose this person?"

The Gluttonous King thought to himself, "Elizabeth's attitude just now wasn't like that at all."

"Beelzebub, do you now think Roy is worth betting on?"

Hannibal looked at Elizabeth's cold eyes and was about to answer when he heard another man's voice.

"Hey, why is it so lively here? Everyone's here!"

That voice... it's Lucifer!
