A few seconds ago, they were still alive.
They should have had a better future.
These babies were originally lying down in cradles, smiling as their mothers sang them a lullaby.
But now, these lives who might have had a wonderful future had been ended!
Babies exploded one after the other.
The speed increased!
Marvin stood beside the barrier, gnashing his teeth in hate!
Sure enough, it was a Descent.
‘Glynos, this bastard!’
It was clear that the other was coming for him. The Shadow Prince already had a huge influence on this plane. Thus he was sending a powerful subordinate through [Descent] to come to this plane.
The other side would come to kill Marvin, and destroy the plane!
The Shadow certainly didn’t have patience. He mostly likely intended to purge this world of humans before recultivating followers.
This was his final gamble.
But Marvin could only look at this scene, with no way to stop it.
The Divine Barrier was so powerful that Marvin simply couldn’t remove it!
‘If only… there was one more Dragon Tooth!’
He clenched his fists and ground his teeth.
If he had one more Dragon Tooh, he could break through the Barrier and save these innocent children.
But reality was cruel.
Marvin didn’t have any way to remove the Barrier.
He could only pray that the next baby would be relatively compatible with the one descending, so there wouldn’t be another explosion!
…
Cries kept being heard on the streets of Royal City. Even those who didn’t cry had bitter faces.
This was the Shrine.
This was the God they worshipped day and night.
The Paladins silently removed their armors one after the other!
They completely lost their faith.
The Divine Power in their body began to burn and their faces looked full of pain, but no one regretted.
This was the punishment for a pious follower betraying their god!
Some Paladins were directly burnt by the Divine Fire.
Most could handle it, but they would contract many hidden ailments and wouldn’t be able to work too hard, let alone fight again!
This was the price of freedom.
Nana looked tearfully at the scene while biting her lip. Ultimately, she turned around and entreated the nobles, “Ladies and Gentlemen, are you now willing to join me in completely dealing with the Shrine in Nottingheim Kingdom?”
“Woosh!”
All the nobles knelt down.
The Shadow Shrine’s acts provoked their anger.
No one was willing to watch their own child die like that.
If Marvin previously three-shotting the Idol merely smashed the people’s fear of god, then the tragic death of those babies made them recall the Shrine’s cruelty!
The Shrine bound them like shackles, tightening a bit more everyday.
They were close to suffocating, but didn’t dare rebel.
Today, they finally made their decision.
Freedom.
Mankind was born free in this world and shouldn’t be controlled and ruled by something else.
“In that case, follow me.”
Nana wiped her tears and was extremely resolute. “Brother already left for the north to meet with the remnants of the army of the three northern Overlords from that time.”
“But there are still many forces belonging to the Shrine. We have to thoroughly eradicate them.”
A lord pointed at the scene in the sky and said, “That… These children…”
Nana bit her lip, “Regardless of what happens next in the Shrine, let Sir Marvin settle it.”
“This has already exceeded the range of our ability.”
“I believe that regardless of what difficulty he encounters next, he will prevail.”
“Because he promised me.”
…
Outside the barrier, Marvin was silent. The Hellhound already found a place to hide under his command.
A battle was sure to come.
He was actually quite confident he could win.
After all, even if his body was quite weak, he still had many cards in his hands.
But these babies were really too pitiful.
And in order to guard against a sudden attack, he had to pay attention to what happened inside the Barrier!
He unquestionably hated it.
‘Fuck, no matter which fucker descends, I’ll tear you apart!’
He kept watching the situation.
After almost half the babies were sacrificed, a female baby suddenly floated in mid-air.
She seemed very delicate and very lovely. There were a few golden hairs on her head.
She blinked.
The next second, a cold voice echoed in everyone’s hearts!
“Hehe, this body isn’t too bad.”
Following this voice, the baby began to quickly grow.
In a blink, she transformed from an eight month baby to an eighteen year old girl.
A pair of wings golden wings flickered on her back!
Marvin took a deep breath. ‘Ophanim!’
…
On Royal City’s street, a middle-aged couple tightly hugged each other, crying.
“This is Angela’s appearance after growing up?”
The woman looked dazedly at the angel in the sky, sobbing silently.

The middle-aged couple didn’t really think their child would turn into an Angel.
Back when she was born, they had this kind of wish, so they named her Angela.
But now that their child truly became an Angel, they became utterly pained.
Because they could see the indifference in the eyes of the angel through the cloud.
It was contempt toward life.
This wasn’t their child.
…
‘An Ophanim, as expected.’
‘The most powerful War Angels definitely can’t enter this world because their power is too strong and would be rejected by the plane’s Laws.’
‘Ophanims could still be considered powerful among the upper tier.’
Marvin coldly looked at the Ophanim. She in fact only had a pair of wings formed from essence, while behind that golden light were fake wings.
Ophanims were used by gods to patrol the mortal worlds.
Compared with Seraphims and others, an Ophanim would have an easier time materializing in planes.
But to descend like that, finding a suitable body was very challenging.
Generally speaking, the regular way of descending involved the shrine putting blessings on these children. At the same time, the angel would choose to either let the baby keep his or her consciousness, or fuse with them. But if they failed to descend, the angel itself would suffer some injuries.
Not every human child was suitable for a pure angel.
To handle Marvin this time, the Shadow Prince allowed the Ophanim to use the method for urgent descent.
It was to disregard everything and try the body of every baby inside the Barrier!
Moreover, she clearly chose to swallow the baby’s consciousness.
Thus, she could display more power, but the body would also be terminated!
It was very difficult for the Ophanim to keep her current shape.
In one month at most, her source would return to the God Realm, and the body would die completely.
The baby’s soul had already been consumed by her.
The Angel’s descent was in fact no different from the soul swallowing favored by Hell’s lifeforms.
…
The Ophanim raised her head haughtily, looking at Marvin with contempt.
The next second, she wa
ved her hand and the Barrier shattered!
Marvin’s silhouette flashed like lightning, as he was thinking of saving the remaining innocent babies.
But a strange smile appeared on her face at that time.
“This world only has one angel.”
“These Holy Children aren’t necessary anymore.”
“Remember my holy name, Gwen.”
“I’ll purge you sinners in the name of the shadows!”
Following her cold words of judgement, the bodies of the remaining babies exploded!
In an instant, blood filled the ruins of the prayer hall.
Blood splashed on Marvin’s face!
“What’s wrong? Mortal?”
Gwen laughed gently. “Are you sad about the deaths of these ants?”
“You won’t have time to care about them because your own end will be a hundred times more pitiful than theirs. Your soul will be nailed down in the Shadow Realm, being burnt by God day and night until the end of the Universe!”
Marvin clenched his fist with an ashen face.
Facing Gwen’s lofty attitude, he only answered with a single line:
“Go fuck yourself!”
…
With two daggers in hand, Marvin’s silhouette flashed like lightning as he fiercely pounced toward Gwen!
The Ophanim’s wings gathered in front of her as she whispered, “Bone Crush!”
The next second, Marvin felt a burst of pain!
He was squeezed by a strong pressure all over his body!
Fortunately, he had a high Divinity and was very resistant to Divine Spells. He was able to withstand the pain from the Bone Crush and abruptly arrived in front of Gwen!
Shock could be seen in the Ophanim’s face.
This mortal was actually immune to her Divine Spell?
Not only that, it was complete immunity!
The Bone Crush which should have directly broken his arms, legs, and everything else was reduced only to a physical effect!
However, she wasn’t worried.
‘Just an insignificant mortal, seizing every opportunity to receive some strength. How could it contend with my power?’
‘This plane’s High Priest was too trashy. We must choose someone more powerful next time!’
Gwen remained where she stood, facing Marvin’s charge without flying away.
Both her hands searched through her wings and drew two sharp swords!
Judgment Swords!
Fake Artifacts produced by Glynos.
They had a Divine Spell on them, called Final Judgement. In the beginning, this Divine Spell was created in order to purge planes.
If she used this Divine Spell, the entire Arborea Plane would face a frightening natural disaster!
Mankind might become extinct.
Gwen was expressionlessly holding both swords in her hands, moving forward spontaneously!
It wasn’t time to start the Final Judgement.
If she used Final Judgement, the plane’s people would die, but this man in front might escape.
This guy’s strength was outstanding enough to possibly survive the disaster.
She had to kill him first, take his soul, and then cleanse this plane.
This was Glynos’ command.
…
Clang! Clang!
The Judgement Swords met the Blazing Fury daggers!
This was a pure contest of strength.
Marvin was sent flying, feeling an intense pain on his wrist.
He looked down and saw that the back of the Blazing Fury in his left hand actually had a crack!
‘Magic Weapons and Fake Artifacts are worlds apart after all.’
‘Looks like I have to upgrade my weapons after this!’ This flashed through Marvin’s mind, but his hand didn’t stop.
He was like a madman as he chose to fight the Ophanim in close range.
And the Ophanim wasn’t showing any weakness.
Even if she wasn’t comparable to one of the War Angels which were pure killing machines, Ophanims still had superior fighting skills.
Marvin and the Ophanim kept exchanging blows as he relied on his Godly Dexterity to stay in the fight.
He looked very irritable, very angry.
This made the Ophanim underestimate him even more.
Arrogance filled her face. Celestial lifeforms were always like this toward mortals.
In her eyes, Marvin’s blade techniques were still relatively good, but his body clearly had some injuries and couldn’t show his full strength.
Even if they were both peak existences on this plane, she felt she could easily crush Marvin!
“Receive God’s Judgement! Filthy mortal!” The Ophanim shouted in a heavy voice as her two swords stabbed forward.
Marvin turned and took a Shadow Step with Burst!
In an instant, he arrived behind the Ophanim’s back.
His face suddenly became sinister.
‘Finally… I’ve been waiting for this opportunity!’
He let go of the daggers in his hands and pounced over!
“You are courting death!”
The Ophanim quickly turned while grinning, and sneered as she swiped her swords horizontally.
If Marvin took a step forward, he would end up dead!
But that figure in front of her suddenly increased in size!
On the chaotic ruins, the silhouette of the Fierce Asuran Bear could be seen enveloping the Ophanim!
Chapter 312: Hell Space
Chapter 312: Hell Space

The Ophanim was filled with disbelief!
Everything she knew about Marvin came from Glynos.
Even if the Shadow Prince had met Marvin several times, he actually didn’t know Marvin’s real strength.
The first time he came in contact with him was that night in White River Valley, when Marvin turned into an Asuran Bear and mauled the Crimson Patriarch to death!
But that battle was also Glynos’ most depressing night.
He arrived in Feinan and suffered from the combined force of Inheim, Owl, and Hathaway.
Not only did he lose his Time Molt, but his achievement of stealing the Moon Goddess Faniya’s lingerie was also revealed.
Under these circumstances, when he didn’t even have time to escape, how could he have the leisure to pay any attention to Marvin?
The second time was the during the Decaying Plateau’s war. This actually somewhat drew Glynos’ eye to Marvin.
A mortal who wasn’t even a Legend was able to kill Diggles with the Golden Scissors.
He was obviously not just any ordinary mortal.
Unfortunately, his attention was again on Inheim and the others, and thus he didn’t see Marvin turn into an Asuran Bear, and still didn’t know about it.
In fact, they had crossed paths earlier than that, but Glynos didn’t know. When he attempted to assassinate Hathaway after the tournament, Marvin was the one who had warned her. But with the appearance of the other Legends, he disregarded the mere mortal that was hanging about, and thus he never considered that it could have been Marvin.
As a result, even if he remembered Marvin’s appearance and wanted to investigate him, with the Universe Magic Pool and that layer of fog, he couldn’t get too much information.
Thus, overall he knew very little about Marvin. Level 18 Ranger or Assassin? He could use Battle Gunner’s tricks? And might possess Constantine’s [Brilliant Purple]?
This was all he knew about Marvin.
And the Ophanim had received all this information.
She thought she could easily kill Marvin, but the cruel reality ruthlessly slapped her in the face, and so did Marvin!
…
Marvin had deliberately been entangling with the Ophanim in melee just for this opportunity.
He lowered his opponent’s awareness, and the result was pretty good. Angels were truly a brainlessly haughty bunch.
Marv
in’s ability to seize an opportunity was first-rate.
The moment the Fierce Asuran Bear appeared, even the Ophanim turned pale!
If her real body was here, she wouldn’t be worried about a powerful creature like a Fierce Asuran Bear, but she had rushed over too hurriedly. This body had at most 40% of her strength.
Marvin swiped downward!
“Bang!”
The Ophanim flickering with golden light was shot into the ruins!
The pair of Judgement Swords also fell to the ground.
The difference of power between both sides was truly too big!
In a fight against a Fierce Asuran Bear, the Ophanim would normally make use of her flying advantage.
But would Marvin give her the chance to?
The answer was obviously no.
Not only was the Fierce Asuran Bear a lot bigger than before, but his Strength and Dexterity also greatly increased.
Marvin kept swiping, and it was actually very fun!
Thanks to his fight against the Crimson Patriarch, he was now sharper when it came to determining the timing of Divine Spells.
The Ophanim simply didn’t have any chances to use a Divine Spell.
Every time Divine Power finished gathering, it would be scattered by a bear slap!
The golden radiance on her body began to dim.
She tried to resist, but it was futile!
The next second, Marvin’s right paw ruthlessly swiped down!
“Bang!”
The Divine Power covering the Ophanim’s body scattered.
Fear was apparent on her face.
She hadn’t expected that just as she was going to end a mortal’s life with her Judgement Swords, she would face a Celestial Monster!
She felt extremely regretful. If she had been a bit more careful, if she had chosen to fight in the air… But what was done was done.
The Ophanim’s golden radiance began to dim quickly.
The Fierce Asuran Bear locked the Ophanim in his paws and grabbed the angel’s wings!
“No!” Gwen let out an heartbreaking cry.
Marvin ignored her scream and savagely tore her wings apart!
The two wings flickering with golden light were pulled off by Marvin.
Numerous feathers scattered, carrying drops of golden blood.
The Divinity flickering in Gwen’s eyes immediately began to disappear.
Marvin roared toward the sky. The angel wasn’t as awe-inspiring as she was earlier after losing her wings.
The Asuran Bear then quickly and efficiently turned her into a bloody mess!
