Just then, a cautious inquiry came through.
"Um... why are you attacking me? Why attack the Demon King City?"
Jona Velli was stunned and replied casually.
"I don't know."
As she spoke, her heterochromatic eyes narrowed slightly. Approaching, she discovered something unusual about this so-called [Angel].
Because she found that this person was not a pure-blood Angel; another bloodline was mixed within her body.
It was a force of chaos, terror, and evil, possessing extreme aggressiveness.
This was... feedback automatically transmitted from her inherited memories—Abyssal Demon.
Abyssal Demons, the overlords of the continent during the darkest era, originating from the never-before-seen Abyss.
They are powerful, tyrannical, chaotic, and evil; they are natural invaders, living for only one goal: to constantly erode other worlds and offer the conquered worlds to their only master—the Abyss.
Since the end of the Age of Demons, those demons integrated into the continent, biding their time.
Eventually, they even mated with humans and demi-humans, giving rise to various Demonoids. Some creatures with demon bloodlines could even undergo Demonization.
They have always been a threat, always.
Until the subsequent Age of Divine Right, when the gods opened up Divine Kingdoms and formed the Divine Realm.
At this time, the Gates of the Abyss opened once more. The demons lurking across the continents were beyond excited, preparing to make the world feel fear once again.
The power of the mighty demons was difficult for the gods to contend with.
While the lesser demons on the continent posed no threat, they often heard of the Greater Demons and Demon Lords within the Abyss from those demons' mouths.
More importantly! Without knowing the True Name of a high-level demon, they cannot be killed!
Yes, even with holy weapons, holy magic, silver weapons, Holy Word, Purification, and other counters, high-level demons cannot be killed; only low-to-mid-level demons can be.
Although the gods didn't care and could erase them with the power of Authority, how many demons were there? Plus, the powerful ones were not few in number.
This was one of the reasons the gods feared the Abyss.
And wanting to know a demon's True Name was also quite difficult.
It required charm, enticement, domination, prophecy, confinement, or methods like checking classical records for recorded demons, willpower suppression, soul exploration, and so on.
Regardless, these methods were all very troublesome. Generally, only Exorcists and Demon Hunters would seek them out.
However, nothing is absolute. Certain special creatures and magic can still slay demons, but they are few.
For example, Legendary powerhouses can use the Power of Laws to erase them, but how easy is it to become a Legend?
And just as the gods stood ready, what emerged from the Gates of the Abyss were not terrifying-looking demons.
But rather, holy, beautiful, elegant, and powerful birdmen.
They had two pairs of pure white wings, with gentle expressions, yet they carried a natural sense of solemnity and approachability.
They called themselves messengers of heaven, conveying the will of God, cleansing filth and sin for the gods.
Among them, one Angel with a naturally evil aura stood out from the crowd.
He bore three pairs of black wings, eyes like fire, and often showed a wrathful face to others.
He was the most powerful among these Angels.
He called himself Lucifer, or he could be called Satan.
He opened a sub-plane called Hell and called himself the Lord of Hell.
Then, the Angels drove all the demons into Hell, renamed them Devils, enlightened them, and eventually turned them into the Lawful Evil alignment.
Subsequently, Satan remained guarding Hell, a Divine Kingdom where no one dared to tread.
As for the other Angels?
They often slept high in the heavens and rarely appeared.
The number of Angels was extremely small, so such a powerful race was feared even by the gods.
Some Angels also revealed that this world was created by their God, and countless eons ago, the Abyss had marked this world.
To avoid a bloodbath, their God led the powerful Angels to actively plunge into the Abyss, fighting on the front lines.
This was why the world remained at peace. And the purpose of their return this time...
Was because some of their compatriots had been tainted and beguiled by the power of the Abyss, turning into Fallen Angels.
Their duty was to create a sanctuary for these Fallen Angels, allowing them to slowly decompose the power of the Abyss.
Later, the last powerful chief god, Hades, became the God of the Underworld, opened the Underworld, and called himself the King of the Underworld.
He held many authorities such as death and judgment.
He reached an agreement with Satan: all dead beings who were heavily burdened with sin would be cast into Hell.
This was the story of the Angels; not much was recorded in the inherited memories.
As for the God the Angels supported and how strong that Fallen Angel in Hell was, Jona Velli was not clear.
All she knew was that when the next slumber came and she broke through to the Legend rank, she would be able to obtain the inherited memories of the Starry Sky Dragon Race.
This was what her father, that mysterious, so-called Time Dragon, had told her.
Jona Velli looked at the blue-haired girl; her gaze now filled with scrutiny, solemnity, and curiosity.
She didn't understand why someone could possess both demon and Angel bloodlines at the same time.
One should know that demons, Devils, and Angels are sworn enemies, the kind that fight to the death.
Although Chromatic Dragons and Metal Dragons are hostile to each other, there is still the matter of the mating season, which neither side can control.
But Angels wouldn't; their divinity is extremely high. One could even say they are puppets of that God, almost never controlled by lust.
Then, Jona Velli shook her head. Now was not the time to think about these things; she was considering whether or not to kill her.
Although the one before her wasn't a demon and they were strangers, the relationship between Angels and dragons wasn't exactly good either.
It was just that for some reason, Angels never easily killed dragons.
"What is your name? Why are you in the Demon King City? Tell me everything about your origin and background, otherwise... I'll kill you."
The blue-haired girl was startled, but seeing the seriousness in those heterochromatic eyes, she swallowed hard.
She felt that this sweet-looking person might actually kill her.
Her eyes darted around a few times. Sensing the loli's increasingly impatient gaze, she finally spoke.
"My... my name is Aifanier Kenonaduo. (Group member, no C2 appearance)"
"Because I am a wanderer. Decades ago, I was expelled from human city-states by those cultists. I don't know why, and I don't know what I did wrong."
Aifanier's voice grew smaller and smaller, as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
But Jona Velli still heard her clearly. Her beautiful brows furrowed just as Aifanier was about to continue.
Jona Velli suddenly raised her hand, her gaze turning cold.
"I smell the scent of a lie. I'll give you one last chance. If you dare to deceive me, then return to the Abyss."
Hearing this, Aifanier was stunned and looked at Jona Velli in confusion.
"Abyss? What?"
