Why is his holy light red?

Chapter 101 Endless Golden Light

When Mercury, carrying the Bran sisters, smashed through all the obstacles and rushed back to the surface.

The sky had completely darkened, and the heavy rain had turned into a light drizzle. Perhaps the rain would stop soon and the sky would clear.

Only a muffled rumble came from the depths of the ruins behind them, but the half-human, half-lizard monster did not immediately give chase.

Mercury's tense mood relaxed slightly.

He could feel that the golden holy light within his body was almost gone, and the light shield protecting the three of them was now as thin as a sheet of paper.

If Mercury were to encounter that time field again, he probably wouldn't last even half a minute.

But the monster didn't chase after us, which was definitely not out of mercy; it was probably continuing to accumulate energy.

Once that madman is allowed to endlessly accumulate power by "stepping on his own foot with his left" using the laws of time, then probably no one in the entire city of Ya Liu Tree will be able to restrain him.

"Head east to the Church of Divine Grace." Mercury didn't waste any words and gave the order directly to the panting Bran. "Go find Sister Maria; she can protect you."

Bran held her emaciated sister tightly in her arms. Looking at Mercury's bloodless face, her lips trembled violently. If it weren't for this man before her, not only would she not have been able to save her sister, but she herself would have been frozen forever in that gray hell.

But she knew very well that saying "thank you" now would be a waste of her life.

Bran gritted his teeth, nodded heavily, picked up his sister, and plunged into the rain, running towards the church without looking back.

Mercury then turned and walked into the dark alleyway that was the complete opposite of the church.

Now, the only one who can completely crush that "false god of time" underground is his old father, who possesses invincible power.

However, almost twenty minutes had passed since he sent the message to his elderly father.

The city of Yaliu Tree isn't that big. It shouldn't take more than three minutes to fly from the Upper City to the Root City.

Why haven't we seen a single person?

Mercury pulled out his blood-stained phone, and as soon as he turned it on, a dense barrage of news pop-ups instantly filled his screen.

The moment Mercury saw the title, his pupils contracted sharply.

Breaking News! Yong Sheng Technology Headquarters Building Suffers Devastating Explosion! 60-Story Commercial Building Breaks in Half!

[A series of terrorist attacks have occurred in the Upper City District! A large number of giant reptilian bio-monsters have gone on a rampage in the Financial District!]

In the video footage, the skyscraper, a symbol of the conglomerate's power, appears to have been forcibly severed in half by some immense force, its upper half collapsing with a roar and billowing flames. Below, the streets are filled with mutated monsters indiscriminately slaughtering civilians.

"These heartless beasts—"

Mercury gripped his phone tightly, his knuckles turning white.

Clearly, this was a major move orchestrated by Immortal Life Technology. To cover up this underground laboratory and to delay the Holy Light Angels' advance, they went so far as to overturn the table and deliberately create this chaos.

They knew all too well the Holy Angel's weakness; in the face of such a devastating crisis of civilians lying dead everywhere, that man would definitely prioritize saving lives.

But if that underground monster accumulates enough energy, the entire world's timeline will be destroyed.

Mercury gritted his teeth and quickly switched to the communication interface, but he didn't dial the number of the Holy Light Angel. The City of Aru Tree was in complete chaos; the Holy Light Angel was too busy saving people to even look at his messages.

He dialed another encrypted number directly to Richard Wong, the president of the Hero Association's Auriga City branch, also known as "Thousand Stars".

The call was answered after only one beep.

Before Richard on the other end of the video could speak, Mercury abruptly interrupted the conversation: "President! The largest nuclear bomb of Immortal Technology is hidden here! We must immediately notify the Holy Light Angels, or everyone will be doomed!"

In the video footage, Richard, with a sea of ​​fire in the background, was clearly stunned.

Mercury knew all too well how to deal with these high-ranking officials. Explaining what "time manipulation" or "local laws" was at this crucial moment was a complete waste of breath; a few words couldn't possibly describe the monster's danger.

But the phrase "super-large nuclear bomb" is different. It's simple, direct, and extremely lethal, enough to make everyone instantly understand its danger.

"Did you understand, President?!" Mercury roared at Richard, who was still somewhat dazed on the screen. "Now is not the time for your association to make political compromises or consider the bigger picture! I really am standing on a nuclear bomb that can wipe out everything! Once it explodes, no one will survive!"

Richard wiped the soot off his face, seemingly unsuspecting that Mercury was lying. However, there was a hint of helplessness in his voice.

"Mercury, the Association has deployed all its roster heroes." Richard's voice was terribly hoarse amidst the torrential rain and explosions. "But this time—it's not just Immortal Technology that's gone mad."

Richard abruptly turned the camera around, and all he could see was thick smoke billowing everywhere.

"The Black Olive Center has been detonated, and Warden Ms. Force is seriously injured." Richard stared at the screen in despair. "All the superpowered criminals incarcerated—they've all escaped."

Mercury gasped. What ruthless methods! Was he trying to drag everyone down with him?

But Mercury quickly calmed down. These threats were minor issues. Mercury said loudly, "Take me to see the Angel of Light. Only he can solve this bomb."

Thousand Star Hero didn't waste any words.

He knew very well that Mercury wouldn't joke around at this point, so since he said the root zone was the biggest problem, he decided to trust him this once.

The moment the call ended, a deep cluster of starlight appeared a few meters ahead.

Richard the Thousand Stars stepped forward and appeared in front of Mercury.

Richard beckoned to Mercury with his finger, and another burst of starlight appeared, enveloping the two of them.

The intense feeling of weightlessness lasted only half a second.

When Mercury stepped firmly on the ground again, the stench of the slaughterhouse had turned into gunpowder smoke and the pungent smell of blood.

Thousand Star Hero teleported him directly to the outer streets of the Eternal Life Technology headquarters.

This place has been completely transformed into a boiling, scorching inferno.

The towering orange-red flames distorted the night sky as the towering technology building was repeatedly struck by a series of explosions, spewing out thick smoke.

Several enormous, grotesque bio-monsters rampaged through the congested traffic, tearing cars apart like soda cans with their bare hands.

On the streets, countless civilians screamed and fled in all directions like headless flies amidst the flames and severed limbs.

The world was in chaos, like the end of the world.

But amidst this extreme chaos, the most striking sight was the entire sky.

Above the night sky, where torrential rain raged, were countless, dazzling golden lines that flickered like high-frequency pulses.

The angels of light are saving people at an incredible speed.

"Whoosh—!"

'

A dazzling golden thread descended from the sky, precisely entangled a pregnant woman who was about to be hit by a falling lamppost, and teleported her dozens of meters away.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Three more golden lights flashed in succession.

Just as the claws of a bio-monster swung down, the three students beneath the claws were instantly enveloped in golden light, defying gravity and disappearing. Before the monster's claws could even land, they were reduced to nothingness by the next golden thread.

Every second, more than a dozen people are rescued.

The golden holy light was like a super neural network with its own independent consciousness, covering everything.

It frantically scans, locks onto, and pulls between the flames, ruins, and the gaps between the monsters' teeth.

The speed was so fast that the ordinary person's retina could not capture the specific movements of the Holy Light Angel. They could only see countless golden lines in the air, like a reverse meteor shower, frantically snatching lives from hell.

Those civilians enveloped in golden light were teleported to a large square two blocks away before they even had time to cry out in surprise.

The Hero Association has already set up a quarantine barrier there.

Dozens of guild heroes responsible for logistics and defense were on high alert. They were sweating profusely as they received the survivors who were constantly being teleported in, while simultaneously unleashing their superpowers to hold off the scattered monsters trying to break into the safe zone from the outside.

Faced with this terrifyingly efficient rescue assembly line, those incredibly destructive monsters seemed to have become sluggish, lifeless objects.

Mercury stood beside a burning, overturned car, tilting his head slightly upwards.

He looked at the figure in the sky that was enveloped in golden light.

This is the angel of holy light, the savior when disaster strikes, the god in the eyes of the world.

But now is not the time for sentimentality.

Despite the deafening explosion and howling wind, Mercury suddenly raised his head and roared at the sky, which was filled with golden lines.

"Holy Angel!"

Amidst the city's stern sirens, the roar of fires, and the screams of tens of thousands, the sound was as faint as a mosquito flapping its wings, and was instantly swallowed up.

But high in the sky, the golden afterimage that was frantically darting about suddenly stopped. For that man, no matter how noisy the surroundings, he could always hear his son's voice.

"Buzz"

There wasn't even a tenth of a second of delay. The angel of holy light, who was ten thousand meters away just a moment ago, hovered in front of Mercury, accompanied by a gust of wind.

Those eyes, radiating divine light, scanned Mercury rapidly from head to toe. Only after confirming the boy was unharmed and covered in the blood of others did the angel of holy light relax slightly, speaking in rapid succession: "What's the rush? I don't even have time to catch my breath!"

Mercury quickly said, "The Time Dragon! It's in the basement of the Root Zone."

Richard, standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded: "What?! A Time Dragon?! Didn't you just say there was a super-sized nuclear bomb?!"

But the Angel of Light didn't listen to Richard's question at all. The moment he heard those three words, his expression changed.

"What did you say?!"

The angel of holy light grabbed Mercury's shoulder and asked excitedly, "Are you sure?!"

"Absolutely right."

Mercury gritted his teeth, enduring the pain, and spoke rapidly, "It's the CEO of Immortal Technology who mutated. He still looks somewhat human now, but if this drags on any longer, Auriga City will truly be finished!"

"What exactly is the Time Dragon? Hey! Can you hear me?!" Richard demanded repeatedly.

Mercury offered no explanation to Richard, but simply stared intently at the god before him.

He knew how cruel this request was; he needed the Holy Light Angel to immediately stop the rescue efforts and prioritize killing that terrifying monster.

The angel of holy light fell silent.

His gaze swept over the wailing civilians in the surrounding inferno, and he made his decision after only two seconds of thought.

He raised his hand and pressed hard on the headset communicator.

"Robert, it's me."

The voice of the Holy Angel became extremely resolute.

"I'm going to start the redemption plan. You provide me with the details and the scope—the entire city of Aru Tree."

Mercury had no idea what the Iron Titan on the other end of the communicator heard or how it responded. He only saw the Angel of Light transform into a pillar of light shooting upside down into the sky, crashing through the rain and rising back into the heavens.

next second.

The night has vanished.

An indescribable, tangible ocean of golden light exploded outwards from the angel of holy light at its center.

The torrential rain in the sky was instantly evaporated by the extreme heat, and an endless golden waterfall cascaded down, enveloping everything in golden light.
