Chapter 142: Taking Flight

The octahedral crystal hanging on Kamiyu’s chest once again glowed and grew warm. Behind her, a sacred platinum radiance emanated, and the halo above her head began to flicker faintly into view.

The people below the city wall started to reveal fanatical expressions in their eyes. Many laid down their weapons, knelt on both knees, and began to bow in worship toward Kamiyu.

Indeed, at the highest point of Main City Kaijistan, atop a tall tower, a woman had appeared with a hazy halo above her head and a sacred light emanating from behind her. Anyone would find it hard to resist the urge to prostrate themselves in reverence.

“A Divine Miracle! This is a Divine Miracle! Lady Kamier—no, Saintess Kamier!” one player exclaimed loudly.

“We are saved,” another player cried out.

Meanwhile, those who had earlier doubted Kamiyu—the surrenderers and slaves—lowered their heads in shame one by one. Many chose to go offline to escape reality.

Li Changde also showed an expression of admiration. “This time, we definitely won’t lose. It’s fortunate that we’ve been cooperating with Lady Kamiyu all along, leaving her with a good impression.”

Wu Yong stepped forward as well. “Guild Leader, we’ve achieved an immense merit by supporting the true heir. Thankfully, back then, our entire Guild, from top to bottom, worked together to gather construction materials.”

Lei Yao watched Kamiyu on the high tower with a grave expression, thinking heavily to himself, “There’s no mistake now. She has allied with the Heavenly Faction.”

According to the records of the Holy Light Church, the angels of Heaven waged an endless war against the Demons and the Demon King of Hell, leading to the destruction of the entire Crimson Earth.

Later, for certain reasons, the Hell faction gained the upper hand, completely driving the Heavenly Faction out of the Crimson Earth and destroying one Main City after another.

Until only the last Main City remained: Kaijistan.

Therefore, by orthodox standards, “Heavenly Father’s Saintess” Kamiyu was the legitimate heir of the Main City and the rightful successor of the Heavenly Faction. Lei Yao was merely a lowly usurper who had colluded with the external Hell faction.

His claim was illegitimate.

After understanding these positions of identity, Lei Yao firmly placed Kamiyu in the position of a sworn enemy to the death.

Lei Yao equipped new Legendary Armor, vowing to cut Kamiyu down.

On the high tower, Kamiyu was surprised to discover an additional layer of Invincibility Buff on her Interface Panel.

“Oh ho, did the Heavenly Father apply a Buff to me? So this octahedral crystal isn’t just for looks, making me glow—it actually has practical use,” Kamiyu said excitedly.

“In that case, I won’t hold back. Even without this Invincibility Buff, I would have found a way to deal with your Doombringer, Lei Yao.”

“Isn’t it just a contest of resources? I’m a player with both the Enhancement and Construction Sage Dual Talents. What do I have to fear?” With that, Kamiyu leaped high from the tower.

“Brothers, what am I seeing?”

“Wings.”

“They’re the same platinum energy wings as Heavenly Father Inarius,” a priest player said, eyes wide.

Many players followed the Holy Light Church. While An Dao had been secretly manipulating things behind the scenes, the outer believers were unaware and remained devout followers of the Heavenly Father, studying the ancient texts of the Crimson Earth daily.

Some Holy Light Church devotees knelt on the ground, fervently bowing to Kamiyu in the sky.

“Heavenly Father above, we are truly saved,” one devout player prostrated himself completely.

“A divine miracle, this is a true divine miracle, it cannot deceive.” Another player widened his eyes, afraid to miss this sacred moment worthy of being recorded in history.

“The Heavenly Father has not abandoned us; the Heavenly Father’s Saintess has finally come to save us.”

“When the blood sun hangs in the sky, as the Hell Army’s blood hooves trample every inch of soil on the Crimson Earth, about to destroy the Remnant People’s last Pure Land.

The sacred Saintess will tear through the dark sky, scattering holy light across the entire land, purifying this soil soaked in blood and flesh.” A high-tier priest took out an ancient book’s printed copy and recited the prophecy within.

“The prophecies are all true; we still have hope, and that hope lies with Lady Saintess Kamier.”

Kamiyu heard the fervent worship and shouts from below the city walls, and the octahedral crystal on her chest grew even hotter. A surge of violent, impacting energy churned and spun endlessly within the crystal.

The power of the players’ faith swiftly transformed the hatred inside the octahedral crystal into sacred power, for Kamiyu to wield.

Moved by the voices from below the city walls, Kamiyu glanced back at the platinum wings behind her and said earnestly, “I never thought the Heavenly Father’s invincible buff, besides making me invincible, could also let me fly.”

“Fly.”

Now she was even more “free” than “Freedom.”

Kamiyu had long wanted to fire the “Rainbow Cannon” in the sky, to experience the maneuvers of “Kira-sama.”

Since I can fly, you must die—even if you don’t, you’ll die.

Kamiyu quickly gained altitude, hoisting the Dark Gold Staff Chaos Voice, which resembled a Barrett in appearance.

Headshot Strike.

Frenzied Lightning Arrow, Super-Phase Energy Cannon.

Seven cannons, white on the outside and red on the inside, materialized out of thin air and slammed fiercely toward Lei Yao.

A Phase Energy Cannon with 540 times the power of an ordinary Ancestral Legendary Tier—Kamiyu’s full-force strike.

The furious electro-optical particle cannon struck Lei Yao’s body at the speed of light, like a Sky Pillar.

Lei Yao couldn’t even dodge; his entire being was submerged in the pillar of light. The ground beside him was blasted into a massive crater, and the surrounding area was crystallized by the Phase Energy Cannon.

But crystallizing it wasn’t enough; her DPS continued to intensify, shattering the crystals outright.

The heatwave from the Phase Energy Cannon’s eruption ignited a fiery whirlwind, impacting the Main City. People struggled to stand, some even blown to the ground by the scorching gale.

“Seven energy cannons? And the energy fluctuations are far stronger than before. Is this the true strength of Lady Saintess?” Debe, who possessed a Battlefield Perception Skill, exclaimed in astonishment.

“This one shot—no, these seven shots—are enough to instantly obliterate the Level 40 Boss we’ve farmed before into dust.” Sen Qiang stood up and sighed.

The priests and believers on the Main City walls shouted loudly, “This is the power of faith, the power of the Heavenly Father. The Saintess will wield the sword for the Heavenly Father, purging every evil soul.”

“Everyone, continue praying for Lady Saintess.” A High Priest, following the ancient text’s method, led the believers in singing hymns.

The octahedral crystal on Kamiyu’s chest grew even hotter, and the thirty-cross flash halo above her head became clearer, as if about to materialize into reality.

The pupils of her eyes gradually turned platinum as well.

“Ohhh, the strength is growing stronger and stronger.” Kamiyu felt the octahedral crystal continuously supplying her with energy.

“What powerful, pure energy.” Kamiyu increased her DPS output, continuously firing in Lei Yao’s direction.

However, some surrender-minded individuals inopportunely dampened everyone’s morale, openly questioning: “Wasn’t it said that Lei Yao’s Dark Gold Longsword can absorb energy? Isn’t she just aiding the enemy by doing this? Isn’t she constantly replenishing Lei Yao’s strength?”

“And why weren’t we allowed to attack Lei Yao earlier, yet now she’s attacking with such enthusiasm?”
