I materialized a sci-fi fortress in a magical world.

Chapter 103 I Saw an Angel!

Haimo and Wilby unleashed their strongest attacks on their opponents almost simultaneously.

The sword energy that instantly erupted from Wilby's body converged into a sword light capable of shattering even city walls, slashing towards Haimo's shoulder.

Haimo also brandished her military knife, which was burning with pure white flames, to meet the invincible sword light.

The blurry golden phantom behind her followed her movements and slashed down the blade in her hand.

Boom~

The two forces collided in the air, first producing a muffled thud, followed by a series of crisp sounds of shattering glass.

Then, fine cracks appeared on the protective barrier around the training ground, making it appear precarious.

The next second, Wilby, who had been sent flying backward, crashed heavily onto the protective barrier, becoming the last straw that broke the camel's back.

The highest-level barrier, capable of withstanding the combined attacks of several seventh-tier experts, shattered instantly into large chunks of light that dissipated into the air.

The entire Saintess's palace trembled slightly, and a chorus of gasps rippled through the room.

Hai Mo remained standing there, lost in thought, staring blankly at the military knife in her hand that had shattered into pieces.

Then, she noticed the deep trench in the arena floor—

The base of this arena is not made of ordinary material, but is a very expensive alchemical product that even an eighth-level being cannot destroy.

Haimo imagined that after receiving the blessing, she would become very strong, even stronger than if she had become God's chosen one.

But I never expected it to be so strong that even I was afraid of it.

"Your Excellency, what immense power have you bestowed upon me? Is this truly a power I can wield?"

She stood there stunned for a while before she came to her senses and rushed over to check on Wilby.

He was in very bad shape, bleeding profusely, and all his protective gear, along with the blessings bestowed by the bishops, was shattered to pieces.

This was even though Hai Mo didn't intend to hurt him. That attack was aimed at his sword light, and the injuries on his body were caused by the aftershocks from the collision of the two enormous forces.

Fortunately, his life was definitely not in danger. Several cardinals were around, and they used various high-level healing spells to cure him quickly.

However, the side effects after the full outbreak cannot be eliminated. He still cannot stand up, and this is because he was brutally defeated while in the outbreak state. He will become even weaker and will have to stay in bed for a month.

But Wilby's face showed no frustration or disappointment; instead, it appeared extremely shocked.

Having just regained some strength, he immediately shouted, "Help me! I need to pray! I just saw angels! They've returned!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the bishop who was examining him and said excitedly, "I've made up my mind! I'm going to make that good-for-nothing son of mine a priest, not some worthless mage!"

"Don't move around if you're injured!"

A dignified voice came from the side; it was Archbishop Akani speaking.

He then used soothing techniques to get Wilby to fall asleep.

But the next second I regretted it.

Wilby said he saw angels, but why didn't he see any himself?

She only felt a surge of immense power descend upon the saintess for a fleeting moment.

"Never mind, let's ask him after he wakes up—"

The archbishop shook his head, then turned to Haimo, who looked apologetic, and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your trouble, but please forgive my overstepping my bounds, you just—summoned angels to descend to the mortal realm?"

Hai Mo immediately fell into deep thought, repeatedly clenching and unclenching her fists as she tried to recall the feeling from just now.

Then he shook his head.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, I can't be sure—I did feel a powerful force descend upon me just now, but I don't know if it's what's described in the scriptures."

The Vatican has been silent for too long. Those once-powerful chosen ones are long gone. And back then, there were no artifacts to record their deeds. We could only fill in the gaps in our understanding through the descriptions left behind by those chosen ones. So Haimo didn't dare to make any definitive statements.

Because she had a vague feeling that if she had used her full strength just now, she could have split this palace in two—

This is much more impressive than what the predecessors described!

It seems that only by activating a sacred artifact can the same destructive power be unleashed.

But using sacred relics comes at a price, a particularly heavy one at that.

Looking at his own power, it came too easily. Not only did he not die a violent death after using it, but he also felt great and could do it a few more times.

I wonder how he'll fare against a true eighth-tier opponent. It's hard to find a strong opponent of that level, and you'd have to pay a hefty price to bring one in as a sparring partner.

It would be better to offer these sacrifices to the Governor!

So Haimo gathered her thoughts and said, "Alright, Your Excellency Archbishop, the warm-up is complete. I think your performance should have silenced a lot of dissenting voices, right?"

We can now continue our discussion of the previous topics.

"Of course, I am God's chosen one."

The archbishop smiled and nodded, already considering how to deal with his archenemies within the Vatican.

At this moment, Haimo suddenly remembered something else.

"By the way, that esteemed follower really likes our sacred artifacts; we should also consider that."

"Of course, but—never mind, let's talk in the conference room."

"My lord, here is the photo you requested."

As Haimo's voice drifted from afar, Luo Yue opened his hand, and a crystal ball immediately fell into his palm.

Just recently, the recording function detected the keywords he had set and alerted him, letting him know that Haimo was about to face a powerful enemy and was praying for strength.

Since it was the request of the top-ranked aunt, Luo Yue naturally wouldn't refuse. So he found an excuse to intervene in her prayer, chatted with her briefly, and also revealed a little about his own preferences.

-

Haimo had no doubts. As the agents of the gods, the Favored Ones could even draft announcements that represented the will of the gods, so what was a simple prayer?

So Royo spent 90 units of [Spirituality] to send three newly unlocked blessings, intending to see the effects.

A single blessing seems cheaper than 50 units of [Enlightenment], but it only lasts for 3 hours and costs 300 contribution points, so the cost-effectiveness is actually not high.

Only the top-ranked auntie is so wealthy that she can play this in practice matches.

There wasn't much footage to capture, and the battle scene ended almost instantly; Luo Yue finished watching it quickly.

"Is this what a seventh-tier warrior is like? Just watching a video is enough to stir my mystical intuition. If I were standing in front of him, I'm afraid—"

"But Haimo is really strong. With just one slash, she shattered the light and destroyed the arena and the surrounding barriers."

"This is a showdown between high-level powers in the new world. It's simpler than I imagined. There's no light pollution, and it's less of a back-and-forth battle. The outcome is decided in one round, but the destructive power is visibly strong."

"In comparison, I'm still just dabbling in things here. I wonder what will happen if I cast a blessing on myself—"
