Tigranov, after leaving the Temple, went straight towards the Aetherium Kingdom. As he hid in the void and drew nearer, for an unknown reason, he had a minor bad premonition.
'I must be thinking too much! How can that Castle Lord and his lackeys cause trouble for the Great High God Tigranov? It must've been the influence of the divine mark of those Goddesses.'
Late at night, as the Blood Moon was in midair, the Aetherium Kingdom's surroundings, that should have been endless beast roars and the sharp cries of bird-type monsters, was filled with absolute silence as the Aetherium Kingdom's royal army had slaughtered all of the wild monsters within a thousand kilometers of the capital.
The entire Angel City was also covered with the Sanctum Aegis, an Intermediate God Tier magic barrier. Under its protection, it was not easy for even an Intermediate God to infiltrate but High Gods were countless times stronger. Although they had the divine power to destroy the Sanctum Aegis, they couldn't be silent.
Once it was attacked, the entire Angel City was instantly awakened. There were no creatures that could sneak into the capital of the Aetherium Kingdom without a sound. It was difficult for even Gods who specialized in assassinations to do so.
Tigranov naturally couldn't do the same. He stood hundreds of thousands of meters in the air, looking down at the Aetherium Kingdom that glowed with dense holy light and he fell into deep thought, trying to think of a way to sneak in.
It took Tigranov just less than ten minutes to cross tens of thousands of kilometers from the northern plateau of the Endless Prairies to the vicinity of Angel City, but it had already been half an hour but he still hadn't found a way to sneak in which made him feel very annoyed!
If the news spread that the great and mighty High God Tigranov had failed to infiltrate a city that hadn't even been established for three months, the Gods of Faith would probably laugh at him to death. Thus, he could not retreat.
"I can't forcefully destroy this barrier which will wake up their Gods!" Although Tigranov did not possess any assassination skills, he could wait. If there was no chance tonight, he would wait until tomorrow, if not tomorrow then the next day.
"As a High God, I can easily suppress an early-stage Lower True God! As long as I'm fast enough, I can search his soul before his subordinates can react!" Tigranov muttered to himself. At the same time, he released his divine senses, trying to carefully find any flaws of the Sanctum Aegis.
Tigranov didn't know that since the moment he had arrived, a pair of eyes had been staring at him. It was none other than the Zodiac God Angel Stella. Although she was also at the early-stage High God Tier like Tigranov, her actual combat strength was far above him.
Stella was spying on Tigranov but as she was hiding in the void, even though she was staring unblinkingly at Tigranov, he didn't notice anything. He didn't even have a premonition that someone was spying on him.
The Gods, especially the strong ones like Tigranov, have always believed in their premonitions. After all, they possessed powerful Divine Laws and were able to easily sense things that ordinary people could not.
In the throne room, Haru had also received a report on Tigranov from Stella. Noticing Mary looking at him with a puzzled expression, Haru clarified, "There is a High God from the Beast God Pantheon who is trying to spy on the kingdom. It is obvious that this fellow has come with ill intentions!"
Mary was left a little surprised, "A High God?"
As a Twelve-Winged Angel, her growth potential was limited to the peak of Intermediate God Tier. Although it was only one step away from the High God Tier, the gap between them was enormous. It wouldn't generally be a problem for a single High God to fight against ten peak Intermediate Gods. Thus, to her, a High God was already an extremely powerful enemy.
Haru smiled, "Don't worry. Stella told me that this one is only an early-stage High God. With her strength, she alone could suppress him! She's on stand-by because I told her to wait a little longer to see whether any more enemies might show up!"
Haru wanted to kill more than just those Beast Gods. There were two other High Gods, the God of Destruction and the God of Slaughter that controlled the Dynasty Alliance behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, Haru also told Mary about them, which caused her to show a worried expression. As she helped Haru put on his armor, she asked, "Lord Almighty, with Stella's strength alone, can she deal with three High Gods?"
"It will be very difficult! Among the God of Destruction and the God of Slaughter, the former is a late High God, while the latter is an intermediate-stage High God." Haru shook his head and explained, "With Stella alone, we can only barely hold them but you don't need to worry. Celestia is about to become a High Goddess as well! If we add her to the equation, they will easily kill all three of them!"
Angels were sacred creatures. Some lowly Beast Gods would obviously not be able to compete with them. At the same level, only pure-blooded high-ranking Demons could compete with Angels.
As for Celestia, she was even more terrifying. As the supreme leader of the Angel Race, second only to Haru, at the same level, Celestia was even stronger than Stella. If we add the Astral City, then the side that won would definitely belong to the Divine Kingdom of Heaven.
"I don't know when I'll be able to possess the strength of Sister Stella and Sister Celestia!" Mary said enviously as she sensed the powerful aura in a distant courtyard, "Compared to them, I'm simply too weak!"
Hearing this, Haru didn't know whether to laugh or cry. How did her mentality become similar to Sylvana? Earlier, she had also lamented that she was too weak, claiming that she had become the weakest Goddess of the Aetherium Kingdom.
"Lord Almighty!" As if she could hear Haru's thoughts, she lowered her head and said, "It's not just me, but Lysandra, Seraphina, Eveline and the other high-ranking Angels all feel that we are too weak! Even though we have the potential to grow till the peak of Lower True God Tier or even High God Tier, we still need time to grow and we can't contribute as much in this period. Sometimes, we even feel useless!"
Haru smiled and pulled Mary into his arms and said, "How could you feel useless? Don't forget, you were the first multi-winged Angel I 'created'. You, Seraphina, Lysandra, Eveline and the others have killed countless enemies for me! Without your hard work, it would've been impossible for me to establish the Aetherium Kingdom so quickly."
"Mary, remember one thing. All of you are my closest Angels! The adult Angels that have been born these past two days are only temporarily ahead in strength. You will also possess power comparable to them, or even surpass them soon! Have some confidence in yourself!"
Mary was extremely moved as she lay in Haru's embrace. He changed the topic and asked, "Did you use the Bloodline Evolution Blueprints that Celestia distributed to you?"
Mary shook her head and said, "Not yet, Lord Almighty!"
Haru was puzzled. "Oh, why?"
Mary answered, "Lord Almighty, now that our bloodline is already quite pure so the low-level and intermediate-level Bloodline Evolution Blueprints are no longer useful. Even if it's a high-level evolution blueprint, the chances of failure are significant. Therefore, we plan to wait until the number of high-level blueprints has reached a certain number to increase our chances of success. It would be even better if we could achieve a super evolution of our bloodline!"
"That's good!" Haru thought about it and agreed. Stacking multiple high-level blueprints might increase the odds of super evolution, "I look forward to seeing one of you achieve super evolution!"
