Chapter 519: Prophecy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

While feeling the Light Soulstone trembling in his hand, Tyrael quickly flew to the Diamond Gates.

In the sea of clouds outside the Diamond Gates, Tyrael put down the Light Soulstone and took a few steps back.

The place he chose was known as the Cloud Sea Plains. Although it was a sea of clouds, it was actually the foundation here, the foundation of the entire Silver City. But because of the special nature of the s.p.a.ce where the High Heavens was, clouds and mists were always rolling on this land throughout the year, so it looked like a cloud layer.

Over the millions of years, the demon armies of the Burning h.e.l.ls had attacked the High Heavens several times, and the demons had all deployed their troops on this vast plain By the same logic, there was a similar place in the Burning h.e.l.ls that the High Heavens used to deploy their troops when they attacked h.e.l.l. In any case, during the entire Eternal Conflict, the demons had fought in the High Heavens, and the angels had also fought in the Burning h.e.l.ls. Both sides attacked and defended from different directions, and this cycle continued.

Therefore, in fact, both Tyrael and Imperius were not too anxious when they Imew that a demon army was about to attack the High Heavens because they were already very familiar with this attack and defense process.

The entire angel army of the Silver City was mobilizing in an orderly manner. But because they had attacked Sanctuary earlier, there were still many angel soldiers who hadnt been able to transfer back. Moreover, the one who came to attack the Silver City this time was not Mephisto, Diablo, and the other old demon kings but an unfamiliar demon king. So the angels were still a little unsure about what the other party would do.

While waiting, Tyrael had already spread his light wings and put on his archangel armor. He held Eldruin, the Sword of Justice, in his hand. Just as he finished preparing, three golden streams of light suddenly descended from the sky and landed behind him.

These three golden streams of light were Imperius, Auriel, and Itherael. They slowly stood up and walked toward Tyrael.

The light wings behind the Archangel of Valor Imperius looked as red as flames. These light wings were like Imperiuss personality, fiery and full of fighting spirit. As for the Archangel of Hope Auriel, the light wings on her back were flowing with a faint blue color, like gentle flowing water. As for the Archangel of Fate Itherael, behind him were light wings full of purple light, just like fate, mysterious and unfathomable.

In addition, Tyraels pure white wings of light symbolized justice. It could be said that the four Archangels each had their own characteristics. They abandoned their corporeal wings and no longer used the number of wings to divide their ranks. The color of their wings of light was only a symbol of their respective duties and authority.

Whether it was Imperius, Auriel, or Itherael, under their visors and hoods, they were only ma.s.ses of light without any faces or expressions, making Tyrael look like an anomaly. Fortunately, angels didnt care about this. After the three of them stood beside Tyrael, the four Archangels looked at the Light Soulstone not far away.

Is this the crystal that can seal the soul of an Archangel? Auriel asked curiously. Her voice sounded so gentle, like a harmonious movement,

unforgettable.

Tyrael nodded. Yes. If Im not wrong, the trembling of the crystal is Demon King Osiris trying to contact it. Osiris will use it as a beacon to open a portal to enter the High Heavens.

This crystal cant fall into the hands of any demon again! Imperius snorted coldly. If Demon King Osiris wants to open a Gate of h.e.l.l to summon demons, its wishful thinking! After he appears, the four of us will kill him first and not give him any chance to open a Gate of h.e.l.l. After defeating him, well retrieve this crystal and find a way to erase the s.p.a.cetime beacon on it. This way, demons can forget about using it to teleport next time.

Thats exactly why I brought it back! Tyrael nodded and said solemnly, Osiris set up a scheme for me, forcing me to expose the location of the High Heavens to him. But as long as we defeat him with absolute strength, we can break this scheme!

Auriel nodded as well. Fortunately, ordinary low-level demons cant open a portal in the s.p.a.ce where the High Heavens is. And the seven demon kings are still recovering their strength, so we only need to guard against Osiris

Imperius looked at the silent Itherael and asked, Has your Scroll of Fate shown anything?

Itherael didnt say anything. He only raised his hands, and a huge scroll full of golden light appeared between his hands. He gently opened his hands, and the golden scroll slowly opened.

On the page of the scroll, lines of words quietly appeared.

And, at the End of Days, Wisdom shall be lost as Justice falls upon the world of men. Valor shall turn to Wrath and all Hope will be swallowed by Despair. Death, at last, shall spread its wings over all as Fate lies shattered forever.

The four Archangels all saw this text. But unlike Imperius and the others who couldnt make heads or tails of it, Tyrael exclaimed, This this is the content of the Book of Cain?!

Book of Cain? A book of mortals? Imperius sounded displeased.

Yes, I remember! Deep creases appeared on Tyraels dark face. This is a book written by a great wise man among the humans of Sanctuary. When I fell into the human world, I even witnessed his death with my own eyes. Ive read the book he left behind, so it left a deep impression. This pa.s.sage is what he wrote at the beginning of the book a text similar to a prophecy. Prophecy? Was he a prophet among mortals? Auriel asked.

No I dont know if he was Tyrael shook his head. But I believe that he might really have seen some fragments of the future.

Hearing this, Itherael finally spoke. It seemed that because he hadnt spoken much for a long time, his voice was hoa.r.s.e. The fate of the mortals in Sanctuary has never appeared in my scroll because these mortals are not natural creations. But during this period of time, this text has always been displayed on the scroll

What do you mean? Imperius didnt understand.

I cant see the fate of mortals, but mortals might be able to see their own fate Itherael explained. Perhaps the Scroll of Fate is using mortals to show us something

Hearing this, the four Archangels fell silent.

At first glance, the words on the Scroll of Fate were a little blurry. If it was decades ago, they wouldnt have understood the meaning at all. But after experiencing Diablos invasion of the High Heavens and Malthaels fall to become the Angel of Death, the four Archangels could find the corresponding mapping in these words.

Justice falls upon the world of man It should refer to the incident of Archangel Tyrael destroying his wings and falling into Sanctuary to become a human.

Death, at last, shall spread its wings over all

As for Valor shall turn to Wrath, it should be referring to Imperius. Diablo gathered the power of the seven demon kings and attacked the High Heavens. At the time, Imperius had indeed lost. With his incomparably proud character, this naturally became his most humiliating defeat. Every time he thought of how the Crystal Arch had almost been contaminated, he would feel extremely angry. Even Auriel often worried that this negative emotion would affect him and eventually lead him to an extreme.

In that case, is it me and Itherael next? Auriel looked at the words on the scroll. And all Hope will be swallowed by Despair As Fate lies shattered forever So, will I be devoured by some kind of despair?

Tyrael said, Then, who is Despair

Everyone couldnt help but think of Demon King Osiris. Was this Despair him?

Before everyone could figure it out, the Light Soulstone on the ground suddenly stopped trembling and slowly floated in the air. When Tyrael saw this, his thoughts froze as he shouted, Hes here!!

A vertical black thread suddenly appeared above the crystal. This black thread quickly extended on both ends and stopped after it reached a length of a few meters. Then the thread began to become thick and grow on the left and right. When it turned into a black rift, the four Archangels saw a pair of demon claws glowing with metal light extending out of the rift. These demon claws grabbed the edges of the rift and began to pull.

The owner of the demon claws was naturally Demon King Osiris. Tyrael was certain of this because he had seen Roy and still remembered what his hands looked like. He knew that Demon King Osiris was using his power to forcibly tear open this spatial rift and turn it into a portal that he could pa.s.s through.

With Roys powerful tearing, the spatial power leaking out began to affect the surrounding environment. A large number of fine lightning bolts appeared around the rift and burst with intense light.

The rift kept expanding, and the light became more and more dazzling. Tyrael, who had a mortal body, couldnt help covering his eyes with his hands. Then with a loud bang, a circle of light suddenly spread out with the rift as the center, and the rift was completely torn open!

Floating in the air, Roy spread his arms and supported the two edges of the rift. Under the support of his endless magic power, the black rift finally stabilized and turned into a vortex-like portal.

Only then did Roy retract his arms and completely emerge from the portal. He landed on the ground with a thud, causing the ground to tremble. This action made his entire body squat slightly.

Under the gazes of the four Archangels, he slowly straightened his body, and the huge reverse wings behind him stretched out. His mist-like body seemed to be one with the Cloud Sea Plains.

Looking up, the first thing Roy saw was the towering city in the distance. Golden holy light shone down from the gaps of the clouds like sunlight, illuminating the entire city. This beautiful scene made even him sigh in praise.

What a good place

Osiris!! After seeing Roy, Tyrael raised Eldruin in his hand and pointed it at Roy. You really dared to come?!

Roy grinned sinisterly.. Why wouldnt I dare to come? You have to know that

Im here to chase down an angel thief who stole something of mine! Archangel Tyrael, I didnt expect you angels to do such a thing!
