Rumbling--

Above the clouds and below the ground, two special portals slowly opened at this time.

The two messengers, representing Heaven and Hell respectively, arrived as scheduled, surrounded by their followers.

Coming from [Heaven] is a male archangel wearing refined silver armor, with a pair of white wings on his back, a strong face, and long golden hair.

He is Michael, the leader of the Seven Seraphim who once led the Angel Legion to defeat Lucifer! !

The one coming from [Hell] is a burly demon wearing a black suit and appearing as a male human.

Of course, it was none other than the Demon Lord Bruis, who was deeply trusted by Marduk Kurios!!
In fact, he has another unknown identity, that is, before he was expelled from [Heaven] because of rebellion, he was also a powerful [Seraphim].

So from there I became acquainted with Michael.

Under normal circumstances, as two mortal enemies, whenever they met, they would inevitably fight to the death.

But today, both of them have controlled their emotions very well and did not create a tense scene in the [ceasefire zone].

After fighting for a thousand years, it's nice to relax for a day now and then.

"A thousand years have passed like yesterday. It's nice to see you again... Michael!" Bryce walked into the [ceasefire zone], looked across, and spoke first with a forced smile.

"Bruce, it's my honor to meet you here!"

Michael slowly flew into the [Ceasefire Zone] and responded expressionlessly.

However, just as he was about to make a periodic summary of the wars that had taken place in the past millennium as usual, he was interrupted by Bryce on the opposite side waving his hand.

"Look, this isn't our first time participating in the Truce Agreement, so let's just skip those boring parts. After all, we all know what to do next, right?"

"Bruce, are you trying to break the rules?"

Michael keenly sensed something unusual and looked at the other person hesitantly. "Whether you have doubts about this or not, the rules set out in the [Armistice] cannot be changed... Eh? Who is that person?"

At this moment, a figure suddenly walked in from outside the barrier.

It turned out to be the dark wizard Necrodamus who was completely under Carl's control.

"Bruce, what tricks are you trying to play?"

Michael's brow was furrowed, but his face showed no fear at all.

As the most powerful archangel among the Seven Seraphim who serve God, Michael is not afraid of any enemy or any trick.

Even when facing an enemy as powerful as Lucifer, he never retreated a single step.

His power is undeniable, just like the true meaning of his name - "like God"!!

"Oh no, this has nothing to do with me."

Bryce did not notice anything unusual about the human wizard, and shook his head, trying hard to look innocent.

"You haven't forgotten, have you? After the [Armistice] began, no angels or demons other than the two of us could enter here... Isn't that right?"

"That's true, but I know all too well what you're like, Bryce."

Michael obviously did not believe the devil's nonsense and said mercilessly:
"Even if you appear to strictly adhere to the rules, you'll secretly find loopholes and resort to underhanded tactics."

Then, he once again cast his gaze towards the figure that kept approaching across from him. "But you are right about one thing. He is indeed neither an angel nor a demon, but a... mortal?"

"Dear Mr. Michael, you are right. I am indeed a mortal."

Necrodamus... Oh no, it should be Carl, after all, he is the one who really controls this body right now.

Carl slowly stopped about ten meters away from the angel and the demon, then nodded to them like a gentleman.

"Please allow me to introduce myself... My name is Nekorodamus, and I'm a talented wizard!"

"Mortal, if you have something to say to me, please speak quickly." Michael interrupted in a deep voice: "After all, this is not a place for humans!"

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point... I'm actually curious why God would design a [Truce] that allows mortals to interfere at will?"

Carl asked curiously, "I don't think he would make such a low-level mistake... unless it was intentional."

"Human, I have to admit, your thinking is indeed sharp. The war between Heaven and Hell has lasted for thousands of years, yet you are the first human to notice this... You guessed right, this is not a mistake at all!"

Michael first glanced at the Demon Lord across from him, seemingly weighing something in his mind, but soon he slowly explained:

"In fact, when the [Armistice] was first established, God took into account the influence of humans...

We all agreed at the time that if we wanted to maximize the free will of mankind, we must give them the right to intervene in the war between Heaven and Hell."

"Whether it's to bring the world to the brink of destruction, or to proactively prevent disaster and win the war... the power to choose should be left to humanity itself!"

"And what we [Heaven] have to do is to do our utmost to ensure that humanity has this fair opportunity to choose in this never-ending war."

"Of course, if humans fail to take responsibility in this matter, or even make the wrong choice, then this balance will eventually be broken."

So, humans have to thank you [Heaven]?

Carl almost laughed out of anger after hearing this.

This huge war between [Heaven] and [Hell] was clearly caused by the internal division of [Heaven's forces].

Humans have always been the ones most severely affected and suffered the most casualties.

How come now, in Michael's mouth, it seems as if humans are the real sinners who provoked this war, and then [Heaven] becomes the "savior" who spares no effort to redeem mankind?
Tsk tsk tsk, I've seen shameless people before, but it's rare to see someone so self-righteous and shameless!

"Mr. Michael, thank you for your honesty. So... even though God knows that things might deteriorate due to human interference, He still won't intervene and will let everything go on?"

The smile on Carl's face grew even more intense. He raised his hand and pulled out a delicate crossbow from his windbreaker. He pointed it directly at Michael and said,

"Well, to verify the truth of what you just said... Mr. Michael, you wouldn't mind if I run a little test with this little gadget?"

The reason why 'Carl' chose to make such a high-sounding move was neither because he was arrogant nor because he was stupid.

It was because apart from this, as a mortal "Necrodamus", it was simply impossible for him to successfully hit a Seraphim legion leader with great military achievements in this special barrier space.

Even if the distance between the two was only about ten meters, even if it was a sneak attack...

But if Michael wanted to, he could kill Necrodamus the moment he attacked, or dodge it calmly.

Although Carl could still use the power of the "Five Little Ones" to complete the assassination, doing so would inevitably expose his identity prematurely, not only failing to achieve his strategic goal of "diverting the trouble eastward," but also adding another powerful hostile force to his arsenal. This outcome was simply not worth the loss for Carl.

That was why he decided to continue with Necrodamus's original plan before taking action, which was to take advantage of Michael's arrogance as he was doing now.

That’s right, it’s [Pride]!
A kind of arrogance that comes from "God" towards tiny human beings.

"Mortal, what I want to tell you is that every human has a dark side within them, but what can truly save you... is the side dominated by humanity."

Just as Carl expected, Michael had no intention of taking action or avoiding the attack, and his face still had that expressionless and cold look.

Because he simply didn't believe that a mere human could use earthly weapons to hurt him.

"I know what you want to do, but I still hope you won't do it, because everything you do will be in vain... Human weapons can't kill me!"

"Really? But I don't think so."

The next second, 'Carl' pulled the trigger without hesitation.

whoosh-

With the blessing of the two special Runes of "Speed" and "Concealment", the silver crossbow arrow disappeared from the sight of the three people almost at the moment "Carl" pulled the trigger.

Then, as if teleporting, it hit Michael's chest directly and accurately.

puff--

A splash of golden holy blood splashed out.

"This is……"

Feeling the curse power contained in the "Archangel Killer" and the deep resentment from Judas, Michael, who already knew that his fate was about to end, finally showed a rare look of shock on his poker face that was usually emotionless.

As the holy archangel who once defeated Satan, the king of hell, Michael has been responsible for almost all of Heaven's tough battles over the years.

It can be said that he has seen many storms.

But he never imagined that one day he would be defeated so completely at the hands of a human wizard.

Wait!
wrong……

Michael suddenly realized something and his eyes widened. He then turned to look at the Demon Lord Bryce, who had remained silent and chosen to "watch the show" since the human wizard appeared.

The curve of the other person's mouth said it all.

Damn it, it was definitely his doing!!
What exactly does Marduk Kurios want to do? Isn’t he afraid that triggering the “safety mechanism” will trigger a full-scale war between [Heaven] and [Hell]?
Time seemed to be infinitely stretched at this moment, so that Michael had enough time to figure out the trick here.

That’s right, the demon leader is indeed not afraid.

Because the person who did it was not a devil, but a... mortal!
Just as he had said to Carl before, the factor of human influence was taken into consideration when the [Armistice] was designed.

This impact can be either positive or negative.

Perhaps Marduk Kurios and Bruis had already realized this, which is why they went to such great lengths to find this human to carry out the assassination?
In this way, the "insurance mechanism" of the [Truce] will be automatically triggered due to the death of the [Heaven] messenger, and the portal to Earth will be closed forever.

But at the same time, since the people who attacked were not demons but humans...therefore, there was no reason for [Heaven] to launch a full-scale war against [Hell].

We can only sit back and watch the demon army of Marduk Kurios invade the human world wantonly!

What a plan!
Good trick!
No, I must let God know who the real mastermind is!
Time seems long, but it only passes in a moment.

"Ah ah ah..."

Michael desperately mobilized all the divine power in his body to resist the deadly invasion of the "Archangel Killer".

Just to delay for even a second, so that he could pass the message to the angels in the sky who had not yet recovered from their shock...

Even though he knew that no sound could be heard from within the [Truce] barrier!!
"Really... the real murderer is..."

But things backfired.

The crossbow arrow stuck in his chest, after tasting the blood of the archangel, instantly "came alive" like a fully revived vicious evil spirit, and then drained all of Michael's vitality in one gulp.

Michael's angelic body suddenly became like a shattered statue, with countless fine cracks appearing on the surface, and dazzling golden light flashed from these cracks.

boom--

Michael's entire body instantly exploded into a dazzling golden light, and then disappeared from the spot.

An invisible [force of the subspace] forcibly snatched away Michael's soul essence from a certain [law] that remained in Michael's consciousness and had a recycling function, as well as from the deep resentment from Judas inside the crossbow.

At the same time, lines of prompts appeared on the light screen in front of Carl.

……

[Reputation +999, +444, +444...]

[Detected collectible high-level angel souls, subspace soul count +1]

……

Nice!!!

A look of satisfaction appeared on Carl's face.

However, the plan is far from over even at this stage!
The real show is about to begin...

Because the incident happened suddenly, the entire process from Carl's assassination to Michael's death actually only took one or two seconds.

Therefore, the members of the angel army who were responsible for holding the line outside the [Truce: Barrier] were stunned for several seconds after Michael's death before they recovered from their extreme shock.

"That damned human, he...he actually killed Lord Michael?"

"Impossible, human weapons are absolutely incapable of harming Lord Michael?"

"Kill him..."

In an instant, hundreds of angel warriors armed with weapons flapped their holy wings and rushed madly towards the position where 'Karl' was below.

bang bang bang-

bang bang bang-

But the next second, they all crashed into the golden barrier and were bounced back by an invisible force.
