Chapter 474: Resurrected Goddess
Seeing the angels all around them, Dante, Vergil, and Nero subconsciously stood back-to-back to each other and raised their guns vigilantly.
But this action naturally aroused the displeasure of the angels. The angels around them immediately held their weapons and surrounded them, looking eager to try.
Dante looked up and saw the Sky Dragon of Osiris behind the golden light screen in the sky. He knew that Roy was definitely on it, so he quickly shouted, “Hey, what’s going on?”
“…” Roy did not say anything and looked down at him speechlessly, letting him realize it for himself.
After returning to Heaven, Balder finally felt much safer. Although he looked disheveled, he still calmly said to Dante and the others, “Stop struggling. Can’t you see how powerful this barrier is? Your father and those damn demons can’t attack now…”
“How did this happen…” Nero’s forehead was full of cold sweat. He gulped and looked into the distance. As expected, through the gigantic membrane of light, he saw the dense army of demons outside.
“I really admire you. Who gave you the courage to follow me into the Gate of Heaven?” Balder held Bayonetta in his arms and sneered. “Did you think you wouldn’t die?”
Dante did not say anything. In this situation, he could not afford to provoke any more trouble, so he could only temporarily put away his usual frivolous attitude.
But while observing the surroundings, Dante could not help but look up at Roy outside the light screen and was stunned.
Due to the distance, he could not see too clearly. He seemed to see Roy pressing down with both palms…
Dante quickly understood what Roy meant and realized that he was telling them not to act rashly!
Yes, in this situation, be it their father, Sparda, or Osiris, they were both far away and could not help at all. If they still tried to resist in the face of so many enemies, it would be courting death! It was better to surrender for the time being and save their lives first.
Thinking of this, Dante threw his demon sword onto the ground and spread his hands. “Okay, Balder, you win this round…”
Vergil and Nero instantly reacted. Although they were unwilling, they followed Dante’s example and abandoned their weapons, giving up resisting.
“… A very smart choice!” Balder was silent for a while before nodding. “I thought you would choose to be purified by holy light…”
The surrounding angels rushed forward and pressed down the three of them. Golden holy light formed shackles on their limbs and restrained them. Balder turned to a seraph beside him and said, “Your Excellency Arklando, fortunately, I did not fail my mission and brought back the Left Eye of Darkness!”
This seraph named Arklando was a mighty and fierce-looking angel. He was wearing ornate golden armor and had a scarlet cloak on his back. His six golden flame-like wings were flapping slightly behind him. But what was strange was that his body was like a headless knight, with no head in sight!
He held a holy sword in his right hand and a shield with a sun-like pattern in his left. On the shield, there was a human face—it was Arklando’s face…
After hearing Balder’s words, Arklando raised his shield slightly and brought his face up to his neck. Then his face revealed a happy expression and grinned. “Good job, Balder. Let’s not delay any longer and immediately start waking up Her Holiness Jubileus!”
Balder nodded, and the seven seraphim led him to where the statue of Jubileus was. Before leaving, Balder looked up at the sky and found that the long dragon flying in the sky had disappeared!
Roy left. After instructing Dante and the others to surrender, he realized that the resurrection of Jubileus might already be a foregone conclusion, so it was useless to stay here. The demons had to consider how to deal with it now, so he left.
Dante and the other two noticed this, but they did not know when Roy left. They could only think that he was cold-hearted while being escorted by the angels to the statue of Jubileus.
After Balder’s return, the angels had become full of confidence and were no longer afraid. They looked forward to seeing Jubileus waking up and leading them to victory. So before that, they planned to let these three Children of Taboo feel the majesty of the Goddess of Light Jubileus up close…
When they arrived under the trunk of the Kabbalah, Dante and the others finally saw the appearance of the so-called Goddess Jubileus. They could only look up at this towering statue.
Many angels were gathered here, but only the seven seraphim and Balder could approach the statue.
When the resurrection ritual began, Balder stood in front of the statue with Bayonetta in his arms. He did not move at all as his body emitted the light of magic power and slowly floated up. When he floated near the face of the statue, the Right Eye of Light on his chest radiated bright light.
A group of seven-colored lights emerged. It was the Möbius Mark that he had stored in the Right Eye of Light. After appearing, the Möbius Mark slowly flew toward Jubileus’s glabella and then merged into the statue.
Under the gazes of countless watching attentively, after a short period of calm, the statue of Jubileus suddenly began to tremble slightly. This trembling gradually became greater and greater. At the same time, the statue grew taller at a visible speed, growing from about twelve meters to about twenty meters!
“It’s effective! It’s really effective!” Seraph Arklando looked at the statue excitedly.
In fact, when Jubileus first fell into a long sleep, the statue she transformed into was at this height. But as her soul weakened, the statue became smaller. Arklando and the others had studied this phenomenon for a long time before coming to a possible conclusion. They believed that when her soul was damaged, her divine spark also sustained damage, causing her soul to be unable to heal on its own. The divine spark that Balder brought back was to make up for and repair her original divine spark.
When the statue of Jubileus returned to its original height, the angels sensed her soul began to strengthen gradually, indicating that everything they did was useful.
“Quick, Balder!” Arklando shouted. “Quickly fuse the Eyes of the World and let the Goddess awaken!”
Balder lowered his head and looked at Bayonetta in his arms. After sighing slightly, he gently tossed her upward.
Bayonetta’s body emitted black light. It was the light from the Left Eye of Darkness in front of her chest. After her entire body slowly floated to the left eye of the statue, she began to merge into it.
Balder himself emitted white light as the Right Eye of Light activated, and he dived into the right eye of the statue.
After Balder and Bayonetta merged into the stone eyeballs, the eyeballs suddenly turned transparent, from the original stone into a watery texture. Balder and Bayonetta stood quietly in the eyes of the statue. The light radiating from their bodies made the statue’s eyes look black and white and extremely strange.
“Come back, Your Holiness Archangel Jubileus!” The seraphim below, including the countless ancient angels on the periphery, were all kneeling on one knee and bowing in worship to the statue. “In the name of holy light, the glory of Heaven shall bloom because of you!!”
Buzz! A faint sound came from inside the statue. In the statue of Jubileus, the Right Eye of Light on Balder’s chest and the Left Eye of Darkness on Bayonetta’s chest resonated together. Endless light spread throughout the statue’s entire body. This light became stronger and stronger and finally formed an incomparably dazzling beam of light that shot into the sky!
The beam of light passed through the dense and resplendent leaves of the Kabbalah and finally hit the top of the domed barrier. Then it continued bombarding the barrier.
Kacha! The barrier that countless demons could not break earlier unexpectedly cracked under the impact of the light beam!
The angels heard the sound of the barrier shattering, but they did not panic because this was already within their expectations. When the Eyes of the World fused, it needed to vent energy, and this immense energy was bound to break the entire barrier from the inside. But since Jubileus had resurrected, it did not matter to the angels if there was a barrier…
In the endless light, the statue of Jubileus actually moved. She slowly closed her eyes, and the moment her eyes closed, Balder and Bayonetta disappeared from her eyes.
The moment Jubileus opened her eyes again, all the rock layers on the surface of the statue collapsed, and a graceful, tall body broke out of the statue. A lazy murmur echoed throughout the entirety of Heaven…
