Chapter 374: Venting
Tang Song accompanied Elaine Belloc, chatting and drinking tea with great interest. A long time passed. Of course, it was mainly Elaine Belloc talking, while Tang Song, that old fox, chimed in and acted as a qualified listener.
During this time, he didn't forget to tell Elaine Belloc some interesting anecdotes from the Marvel Universe. As an old man who had lived for three lifetimes, Tang Song knew very well how to coax a Little Girl who was inexperienced in the ways of the World.
Tang Song even used Blood Mist within the Sacrificial Channel to conjure up the facilities of an entire Disneyland for Elaine Belloc to play in.
Although Elaine Belloc could have these things with a wave of her hand, what Little Girl could refuse the thoughtful companionship of a handsome Uncle?
In terms of handsomeness, the Angels in Most High Heaven were all exceptionally beautiful, but in front of Elaine Belloc, they only showed restraint and respect.
Even Uncle Uriel, when facing her, Elaine Belloc could feel the reverence in his bones. That wasn't for her, but for the half of the Supreme God's creative power within her Body.
This made Elaine Belloc feel very uncomfortable. It was also the Reason she didn't want to be the Supreme God. In the Eyes of those Angels, she was more like God wearing Elaine Belloc's Skin, rather than herself.
Today, accompanied by Tang Song, Elaine Belloc rarely enjoyed the kind of Happiness that should belong to her Age. On the roller coaster, Elaine Belloc, holding a cup of Da Hong Pao Tea Milk Tea, pulled a Silver Cross from her Neck and handed it to Tang Song.
"Here, this is your Remuneration for treating me to Milk Tea. It can help you better absorb and convert the Power of Faith. Also, don't forget, you owe me a pair of Sunglasses!"
Elaine Belloc reluctantly glanced at the amusement park, which covered tens of kilometers. There were still many Projects she hadn't played yet, but Uncle Uriel's call in her ear forced her to leave.
She waved her hand towards Tang Song, carrying a large pile of various small Gifts Tang Song had given her, and the prepared Milk Tea. Her Figure disappeared before Tang Song, returning to Most High Heaven.
Tang Song watched Elaine Belloc leave and let out a long breath. Accompanying this Little Girl was anything but easy.
Take these small Gifts and dolls, for example. During the time he spent with Elaine Belloc, Tang Group in the Marvel World gathered psychologists and toy manufacturers from all over Earth, and selected thousands of Little Girls around Elaine Belloc's Age. After asking about their Hobbies and their favorite toys, these toys and Gifts were carefully selected from dozens of toy factories.
Just transporting these toys from the Marvel World to this Sacrificial Channel consumed enough Energy to buy all the toy factories on Earth.
However, there is always a return for effort!
The small Silver Cross was not carved with the Crucifixion of Jesus, but with the image of a Little Girl wearing Sunglasses sitting on a Throne. Tang Song held the Silver Cross in his Palm. He could feel the vast Energy contained within the small Cross. Conservatively estimated, it contained at least the Energy of a Milky Way Galaxy.
Although it was a bit exaggerated, considering that the Supreme God was the Existence who created the entire DC Comics Multiverse, the Cross on Elaine Belloc, who inherited half of his Strength, was naturally no ordinary item.
Feeling the warmth of the Cross in his Palm, Tang Song inexplicably felt a sense of guilt, like he had tricked a child out of a Lollipop.
Communicating with the Energy Source within the Silver Cross using his Divine Sense, the Cross instantly released countless Holy Power. Extreme White Light bloomed within the Sacrificial Channel. The amusement park Tang Song had conjured using Blood Mist in the Sacrificial Channel immediately melted away and dissipated. Rolling Holy Power Aura poured into Tang Song's Body, then was transformed into the purest Light Energy by the Yin-Yang Fish millstone within Tang Song's Body. However, the Energy within the Cross was truly too vast. One Thought Clone of Tang Song simply couldn't absorb so much. The Yang Fish of the Taiji Diagram, which also belonged to Pure Yang Light Energy, instantly swelled several times, like a puffed-up pufferfish.
The overflowing Holy Power behind Tang Song rapidly condensed into six pairs of Wings made of White Light, so dense they seemed substantial.
The Holy Light spewing from the Silver Cross became increasingly powerful. The Taiji Diagram within Tang Song's Body, representing the Yang Fish, surged as if it had taken hormones. Dazzling White Light sprayed from every one of Tang Song's Pores, transforming into a hundred-meter-tall White Sacred Flame that fiercely burned around Tang Song.
Behind him, a giant, thousand-meter-tall Cross made purely of Holy Power appeared.
"Interesting, interesting. With this appearance, who would doubt I'm the real God!"
"Hmm? Is it related to Faith! Why do I feel like this Holy Power is quite easy to use!"
Tang Song sensed the difference between the Holy Power and the Immortal Magic Power he had Cultivated. This Light Power, mixed with the Power of Faith and Incense Offerings, although not as vast in Strength as the Magic Power he had Cultivated, was very pure, especially in its lethality towards Dark Creatures.
Hmm, moreover, the Light Holy Power contained within this Cross was even purer than that of the God in the Marvel World. If the Light Holy Power unleashed by that God was a kitchen knife, then the Light Holy Power contained within the Cross was a Treasured Sword tempered a hundred times.
Tang Song snapped his Finger, and a Blood Mist rose, transforming into a Blood God Son before him.
Exposed under the Holy Light Cross, the Blood God Son immediately began emitting green smoke, accompanied by sizzling sounds. It didn't take long before the Blood God Son, which feared neither Blades, Swords, nor Magic Treasures, was actually illuminated until it turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated.
"This Holy Light's Restraint on the Blood God Son, even if not as effective as Ksitigarbha's Universal Salvation Buddhist Radiance, is not far off! It seems that Supreme God is truly Formidable!"
Tang Song looked at the dissipated Blood God Son, his Eyebrow involuntarily twitching. Although the Blood God Sons cultivated in Blood Sea Hell were far inferior to the Blood God Sons born from the Netherworld Blood Sea alongside Daoist Styx.
But in the Marvel World, he had not yet seen an Energy that could Restrain the Blood God Son so effectively.
At this moment, the Sacrificial Channel began Shaking. Tang Song looked towards the sound, only to see that outside the Blood Sea formed by the Sacrificial Channel, a Triangular Stargate with sides hundreds of kilometers long suddenly opened.
A handsome-faced Angel walked out from within the Stargate. Behind him, twelve Angels with six pairs of pure white Wings filed out with divine expressions.
Following that, the sound of dense Wings flapping continuously emerged, and millions of Angels silently surged out from the Stargate.
"Michael!"
The Archangel Raphael, who had come as Reinforcements, arrived beside Michael. Looking at the Blood Sea emitting an evil Aura not far away, just as he was about to speak, he suddenly widened his Eyes in astonishment and looked towards the Blood Sea.
A Man with Silver Light Feathers flapping behind him imitated the posture of Moses parting the sea, raising his Scepter high. The Blood Sea before him rumbled and split to both sides, revealing the Void Space Chaos below.
Raphael narrowed his Eyes and sensed the Aura on the Man's Body, then couldn't help but look at Michael beside him, who was holding the Crimson Divine Edge.
"Could it be that while I was in Slumber in Heaven, the Lord developed another Archangel? Does Heaven now have five Archangels?"
Michael was also stunned when he saw Tang Song walking out of the Blood Sea: "How is that possible? There are only four of us Archangels. Let alone Archangels, Heaven hasn't even had a new Power Angel in the last hundred years!"
"But his Holy Power is even purer than ours!..."
Hearing Michael say this, Raphael looked at Tang Song again. Seeing the smooth Wings behind him and the Cross overflowing with Holy Light, he frowned: "But his Holy Power is even purer than ours. Perhaps only the Morning Star before his fall..."
Raphael didn't say the last part out loud, but Michael knew who Raphael was referring to... Michael raised the Crimson Divine Edge in his hand high. A Holy Light about a li long shot out from the sword tip. The Light Feathers behind him vibrated, and the next moment, he appeared before Tang Song.
Michael stood about ten li outside the Blood Sea, frowning, looking at Tang Song, whose face was blurred by Holy Light. He kept feeling that Tang Song looked somewhat familiar.
Tang Song looked at Michael's bewildered expression and found it amusing. Not long ago, Michael had just fought with his Gonggong True Form, and the Gonggong True Form had the exact same face as him.
"Heretics who blaspheme the Lord, you have violated the Lord's Deal and actually made a Deal with Hell Demons!" Tang Song raised the Scepter in his hand and pointed at Michael, accusing him in a mystical tone.
As soon as Tang Song spoke, it instantly caused millions of Angels to Tremble. After all, Tang Song's appearance was there, and that pure Holy Power couldn't be faked.
Colluding with Demons, who? An Archangel? How is that possible?! Michael's whole Body Trembled upon hearing Tang Song's words. He shouted sternly: "Who are you? Your name is not among the Lord's servants!"
Shaking his head, Tang Song didn't answer the question. Instead, he paused, tapping the Scepter in his hand, and scattered large swaths of Holy Light Silver Stars. With a compassionate expression on his face, he said: "I have come by the Lord's Order to eliminate evil. I have now suppressed over a dozen Hell Demon Gods. You suddenly bring millions of Angels here, delusionally attempting to break the Seal. Michael, are you also going to abandon Heaven, just like Lucifer?!"
Michael could feel the commotion in the Angelic Legion behind him without turning his head. As the Heavenly Kingdom Vice-Regent, Michael naturally knew the role Lucifer played against Heaven from Hell... But there was no way to explain such Matters to the lower-level Angels. In the Eyes of the Followers and some ordinary Angels, Heaven and God represented Light and hope.
Pure Light naturally cannot be tainted by darkness.
Michael gave Tang Song a deep look and coldly snorted: "We have come by the Lord's Order to eradicate Heretics. I don't know what Method you used to impersonate a servant of the Lord, but, Heretic, today you shall face divine judgment!"
Saying this, Michael swung the Longsword in his hand, and a dazzling Holy Light Sword Qi slashed towards Tang Song!
Tang Song held the Scepter in both hands before his chest and softly shouted in a low and solemn voice: "For the glory of my Lord!"
Matching his soft shout, a crisp sound was heard. From the giant Silver Cross suspended behind Tang Song, tens of thousands of Light Spears, as thick as arms and a hundred meters long, shot out, bringing a sky full of Silver Light Rain rushing towards Michael and the Angelic Legion behind him.
The Light Spears rained down like Thunder and Lightning, pouring forth.
The Sword Light Michael slashed out immediately Trembled upon contact with these Light Spears. Thousands of Light Spears were Shattered by the Sword Light, but the Sword Light itself was like a small boat in a storm, pushed off course by the Light Spears.
The dense Silver Light Stream formed by the Light Spears was like the Qiantang River tide, bringing a Flood that rushed straight forward. Michael's Sword Light twisted and struggled within the silver stream, gradually having its Radiance obscured.
As for the millions of Angelic Legion behind Michael, the Angels standing in the front row, facing the dense Light Spears shooting out like a Flood, they either condensed Holy Light Shields or gripped the Cruciform Swords in their hands, wanting to slash and block them.
But when these Angels came into contact with these Light Spears, they realized how powerful they were.
Relying on the vast Strength within the Silver Cross, Tang Song freely unleashed an overwhelming number of Light Spears. The Energy of each Light Spear was equivalent to the full Strike of a Core Formation Cultivator.
For a Skyfather like Michael, taking a hundred or eighty of these Attacks was naturally no problem for him.
But those ordinary Angels couldn't withstand this kind of Attack, let alone the fact that these Light Spears were simply too dense. Every second, hundreds of Light Spears densely bombarded their Bodies.
The Light Shields manifested by these Angels shattered like bubbles. After being hit by concentrated fire from the Light Spears, their Skin was pierced, flesh torn, bones broken, and tendons snapped. Blood spurted from their seven orifices, and their Bodies spun as they flew backward. At this moment, another Archangel, Raphael, standing far behind the Angelic Legion, saw that the situation was wrong. Flapping his Wings, he opened the Bible in his hands.
Immediately, a pure white Holy Light Barrier blocked the numerous Angelic Legion. Tang Song coldly snorted, and the frequency of the Light Spears shooting out suddenly increased by about double. The volume of the Light Spears also increased by about three times, and their piercing Strength by at least ten times.
However, at this moment, Michael continuously swung the Longsword in his hand, and hundreds of Holy Light Sword Qi continuously slashed down, shattering the Light Spears Tang Song shot out.
Tang Song's Eyes narrowed. He was about to continue playing around with these Angels. Out of consideration for Elaine Belloc, he wouldn't kill them, but they were perfect for him to vent on.
Although the Little Girl was nice, the feeling of having his Life held in someone else's hands was truly unpleasant!
Just as Tang Song was about to make a move, he suddenly keenly sensed an extremely powerful Aura hidden in the Void Space.
The vastness of this Aura, which his Divine Sense had captured and detected, was even only slightly inferior to Elaine Belloc's.
Tang Song subconsciously looked towards that area of Chaos Void Space. A Figure radiating Golden Light and shining like the Sun stood quietly in the high Void Space.
Seeing that iconic hairstyle and the large S-shaped Armor emblem on the chest, Tang Song's heart Trembled. At this moment, Michael gripped the Longsword hilt tightly with both hands and fiercely slashed a Sword towards him. Tang Song tapped his Scepter, and a magnificent Holy Light condensed into a several-thousand-meter-long Holy Light Longsword that shot out from the Cruciform Sword behind him, fiercely colliding with the Sword Light Michael had slashed out.
With a loud bang, Michael himself was directly blasted hundreds of li away by Tang Song's Strike. His Silver armor was completely Shattered, and he landed in the middle of a group of Angel battle formations, knocking away a large group of Angels before being caught by the arriving Raphael. He was spitting out large mouthfuls of pale golden Blood Water.
In the high Void Space, Clark Kent, who had been waiting for the Gonggong True Form to appear, widened his Eyes. Those Eyes looked suspiciously at the Silver Cross behind Tang Song.
"That Little Girl's Strength, but how could he be fighting against people from Heaven? Aren't they Family?!"
Feeling that Gaze lingering on his Body, Tang Song didn't say a word, turned around, and left, stepping into the Sacrificial Channel of the Great Array of the Sea of Blood.
And after receiving Tang Song's Order, in Blood Sea Hell, Nv Ba and Hela, who were in charge of the Formation, fully activated the Great Array... Clark Kent slowly descended his Figure. Just as he was about to investigate, a Blood-red Light shot out of the cosmic Protective Membrane at a speed he could barely perceive.
Clark Kent stood near the Protective Membrane, his Eyes faintly glowing Red Light, wanting to capture the Red Light that had vanished into the Chaos... But even with his Eyes, which had evolved from absorbing thousands of years of Sunlight and could see through any Space, all he saw in the Chaos Sea were endless waves of Chaos.
"Who are you?! Are you in league with that Heretic!"
At this moment, Michael also noticed the suddenly appearing Clark Kent. The Archangel, filled with pent-up anger, directly pointed his Sword Finger at Superman (nickname Da Chao).
Clark Kent, suspended with his back to the Crowd, turned around. He looked at the Angels pointing their Swords at him, glanced at Michael, and muttered: "Forget it, I'll give the Little Girl some face!"
Before the numerous Angels could react, Clark Kent took a deep breath and exhaled a stream of eerie blue Cold Qi. The Void Space instantly crackled. Under this Cold Qi, even Space itself condensed into ice crystals. Michael, Raphael, and the Angelic Legion behind them didn't even have a chance to dodge before they, along with the surrounding Space, were directly turned into an Ice Sculpture tens of thousands of kilometers long and wide.
"A visitor from outside the Multiverse?!" After exhaling completely, Clark Kent no longer paid attention to the Angels. Instead, he turned his Gaze towards the outside of the cosmic Protective Membrane.
As an Existence of the Multiverse, Clark Kent, while enjoying Life, also felt somewhat lonely, just like Elaine Belloc.
This Multiverse was simply too small for Existences like them! They longed for Worlds outside the Universe, but the Chaos Sea was an Obstacle difficult to cross even for Existences like them.
Feeling a Holy Power coming from the Void Space, Clark Kent shook his head, stretched his arms forward, and his entire Figure transformed into a Golden Light, disappearing into this Void.
And when the God of Parallel Universe 52 arrived with the two Archangels, Gabriel and Uriel, they only saw a massive Ice Mountain floating in the Void Chaos, and the Frozen Angelic Legion.
Rip!
After passing through a Fleshy Membrane, Tang Song appeared at the center of the Lotus Altar in Blood Sea Hell within the Marvel Universe. The first thing he did after appearing at the Altar was to place the Silver Cross in his hand onto the center of the Altar, directing the power of the entire Blood Sea Hell to suppress it. The Holy Light on the surface of the Silver Cross, which had been emitting a faint Holy Light, immediately dimmed. The next moment, a tear appeared above Blood Sea Hell, and another Tang Song, wearing a Daoist Robe and stepping on auspicious clouds, appeared in Blood Sea Hell.
The Tang Song within the Sacrificial Channel instantly turned invisible with a whoosh and merged into the Tang Song wearing the Daoist Attire. Tang Song picked up the Cross. The hem of his Daoist Robe and the hairpin on his head emitted multicolored Radiance.
Time, Reality, Space, Soul... Tang Song investigated thoroughly, and only after confirming that the Little Girl hadn't left any Backup Plans on this Cross did he hold the Cross in his Palm.
Given Boss Tang's nature, if he hadn't investigated it thoroughly, he really wouldn't have dared to take this Cross!
At this moment, two Sword Implements flew out of Hela and Nv Ba's hands. Like two Fish, they continuously Rotated around Tang Song, like two little Dogs wanting to attract their Master's attention.
Tang Song stroked the two Lifebond Sword Artifacts and sprayed out three streams of Natal Vital Qi to nourish the two Sword Implements. Only then did the two clingy Sword Implements fall back to the center of the Altar, continuing to absorb the Killing Intent from the Blood Sea to Temper their blades.
"Master!"
Nv Ba bowed towards Tang Song in greeting. Tang Song nodded at her.
As for Hela, when she saw Tang Song, she haughtily turned her head away.
"You did a good job! Come back with me. Your Attributes are suitable, and you can use these Medicinal Pills!"
In the Feng Shui Jade Vat at the center of the Altar, Tang Song collected the remaining Blood Pills condensed from this Blood Sacrifice and said to the two of them.
"Yes, Master!"
Nv Ba's Figure transformed into a Bloodlight and directly merged into the Yin-Yang Auspicious Cloud above Tang Song's head. Slap!
After Tang Song's Slap, Hela also followed him, leaving Blood Sea Hell and heading to Great Luo Heaven.
Marvel Universe, Milky Way Galaxy, Sovereign. Within a magnificent Palace nestled by the mountains and sea, the Gold-cast Castle illuminated the Sky, turning it golden.
Melodious music echoed within the golden Palace.
Pairs of Sovereign people, as if coated in Gold Powder, held their heads high. Riding in extravagantly decorated Airships, they arrived from all directions of the Planet.
Following the long, wide Tunnel in front of the Palace, they proceeded inside the Palace.
In the tallest and most magnificent hall of this Palace complex, Ayesha of the Sovereign, whose entire Body seemed cast from Gold, sat in the center, holding a Scepter.
Below her were over thirty Sovereign Noble Elders and Regents.
Without exception, they were all glittering with Gold Light, the kind that felt dazzling just to look at.
"High Priestess, may I ask, what is the theme of this meeting? You've actually summoned all the Elders!"
An Elder, dressed impeccably in Clothes that seemed cast from Gold and inlaid with over a dozen yellow Gemstones, bowed slightly and looked at Ayesha.
As he lowered his head, his slicked-back hair was as smooth as Gold threads. Under the illumination of the golden Lights above, his golden hair actually shimmered with Gold Light.
"It's about that so-called East Galaxy Company. Their Energy dumping has severely affected our Energy exports. The Nova Empire has sent a notification that this Cosmic Year, the proportion of our Energy Batteries purchased by the Nova Empire has decreased by twenty percent!"
Ayesha gripped the Gold Scepter in her hand tightly. Her Eyes, like Gold Gemstones, swept over the Elders present: "For the prosperity of the Sovereign, I intend to wage full-scale War against this East Galaxy Company!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
The proud Sovereign people considered themselves the most noble Race in the Milky Way Galaxy. They had evolved for hundreds of thousands of years, long abandoning natural childbirth and instead cultivating newborns from the most basic Cells using machines.
Because they felt that Gold, a substance born from supernova explosions, symbolized nobility, these Sovereign people had changed their Skin color through Gene Modification of their chromosomes since they were single Cells.
Every Sovereign person enjoyed a life of superiority unimaginable to other Races. Behind this superior life, besides the extremely advanced Technological Level of the Sovereign, there was another important Condition: a major output of the Sovereign.
The Energy Batteries they Manufactured were extremely important strategic Resources throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. The Energy Batteries they exported annually to the Nova Empire and Kree Empire were enough for their entire Race to live a superior, upper-class life.
And the East Galaxy Company, which appeared out of nowhere, dumped pure Energy Crystals. Their Energy utilization rate was actually fifteen percent higher than their Energy Batteries. This severely affected the Sovereign's foreign Energy Trade, which was something the Sovereign High-level Staff could not tolerate.
As one of the foremost Alien Races in the Eastern Galaxy, the Sovereign people naturally also occupied many Habitable Planets. However, many of these Planets were the private territories of these Elders.
Generally speaking, these Elders would not always stay on Sovereign, but would Enjoy Life in their own territories. Only when a situation like today's occurred, requiring a resolution to be passed by the High Priestess and all Elders together, would they come to their Homeworld.
After passing the resolution to launch a full-scale War against the East Galaxy Company, inside the Palace, High Priestess Ayesha hosted a welcome Cocktail Party for the Elders and Regents who had come from afar.
An impeccably dressed Sovereign Elder stood beside another Elder, holding a Gold Wine Glass and looking at Ayesha seated on the Throne.
He asked his old friend beside him: "Elder Porter, how much do you know about that East Galaxy Company!?"
