: Michael, Vice-King of Heaven

What exactly have I forgotten?

Qiao Ye's thoughts were in a daze, and he couldn't think straight.

Never mind, let's not think about that for now.

It is of utmost importance to defeat the enemy at hand.

On the battlefield, the seven great demons stood in formation beneath the throne of King Joye, confronting the five archangels.

Demonic thoughts and holy light separated yin and yang, as if cutting the entire world in two.

Then, the two forces collided completely.

Seven demonic shadows pressed down on the five archangels.

Holy light and demonic shadows clashed high in the sky, each clash sending the entire city trembling.

Angels kept falling from the sky, their golden blood raining down.

In those suspended images, all the world sees is a chaos woven from light and darkness—

It's impossible to tell who's attacking, or who's falling.

All that could be seen was that destructive storm growing larger and more intense.

Qiao Ye, however, saw it very clearly.

The five archangels fought desperately, but the demons' relentless power grew stronger and stronger.

But they did not back down.

For the holy light of heaven is still expanding, and the thick fog is still advancing.

As long as they stand, the Kingdom of Heaven will not stop.

boom--

Finally, after countless clashes, the two sides parted ways.

They revealed what they looked like after the battle.

The demon's minions were covered in wounds.

But the Heavenly Kingdom was in an even more sorry state.

Raguel lost three wings, and the remaining nine were also badly injured.

"If this continues, we'll all die here," Raguel gasped.

Why be afraid?

The Code of Gabriel was broken, but his faith remained steadfast, he said:

"If we can keep our duty, even if we die, a crown of righteousness will remain for us."

"As long as the faith in the Kingdom of Heaven remains, you and I will naturally be reborn in the Kingdom of Heaven."

Raguel nodded.

is also like this.

He glanced back:

Uriel's key was cracked, yet he persevered; Raphael lost both arms, but used his remaining body to support the holy light; Metatron's thousand eyes were mostly closed, and blood flowed from their sockets.

The Heavenly Kingdom camp is no longer able to hold on.

But those demons remain powerful.

It's time to fight to the death!

Raguel made up his mind, and once again activated the holy light, determined to unleash his final sword strike.

At that very moment—

The sky cracked open.

The rift stretched across the sky.

A beam of light, more intense than the sun, cleaved down from the highest point in the sky.

The light was so intense that it instantly evaporated Goebbels' black writing, forced Himmler's darkness back dozens of meters, and made Göring's whiskers retract as if they were on fire.

All the demons raised their heads at the same time.

Something is descending from the crack.

First, the wings.

Countless pairs of wings, layer upon layer, blotting out the sky and the sun.

Every wing was burning, shining, and emitting a thunderous hymn.

Beneath the wings was a figure.

He was taller than Raguel, and his entire body seemed to be composed of immortal holy light.

He wore golden armor covered in ancient runes, his face was as handsome as a sculpture, and his eyes burned with golden flames.

The moment he stepped out of the crack, the entire square trembled.

"Michael..."

Gabriel murmured, his voice filled with unbelievable surprise.

"Vice-King of Heaven... Right Hand of God... Commander-in-Chief of the Heavenly Army..."

祂！

He actually woke up!

Hope rekindled in Raguel's eyes.

Michael stepped down, as if ascending invisible steps.

With each step, the hymns in the sky grew louder.

Two steps later, the suspended images began to tremble and shattered, severing the connection to the entire world.

In three steps, he stood before the five archangels, confronting the seven demons.

Michael's rank is clearly higher than that of the archangels.

When he appeared, Qiao Ye could clearly feel that the offensive and defensive momentum had completely changed.

"Michael..."

Raguel wanted to say something, but before he could finish, he saw Michael shake his head slightly.

In that instant, Raguel understood something.

"I see."

The five archangels simultaneously showed expressions of realization.

The next second, the world turned upside down.

The scene before Qiao Ye suddenly changed, as if the whole world had been torn apart and rebuilt.

After everything settles down.

The seven demonic minions and the five archangels vanished simultaneously.

Only Michael remained standing on the opposite side.

Six wings of light fluttered slowly, and runes flowed across the golden armor.

Clearly, this was Michael's doing.

There are no more heavenly armies, no more hymns, and no more demons.

"King of Demons".

Michael spoke, his voice eerily calm, "Now, it's just you and me."

He will face off directly against the Demon King.

Qiao Ye did not speak.

He rose from the throne of bones.

Bone-spiky wings unfurled behind him, and the skull throne vanished behind him.

He faced Michael from afar.

A one-on-one duel?

Yeah.

Michael gripped the Heavenly Army Sword tightly in his hand, looking at Qiao Ye as if he had discovered something.

"The Demon King—"

He suddenly spoke, "Do you remember your name?"

name?

Qiao Ye frowned.

How could I not remember? Of course his name is...

and many more……

What's his name?

The moment this thought popped into Qiao Ye's head, he felt a wave of dizziness.

What's his name?

He opened his mouth, as if to say the name.

Joe... Joe what?

The word hovered on the tip of my tongue, but I just couldn't utter it.

wrong.

He must have a name.

Everyone has a name.

But who am I?

He raised his head and looked at Michael across from him.

The Vice-King of that Kingdom stood there, his six wings of light slowly flapping, his eyes burning with golden flames looking at him.

"really."

Michael said, "You have used demonic power that is not your own, and now you have begun to completely forget yourself."

"Soon, your ego will be completely erased, and from then on, you will be completely replaced by the Demon King."

"But I also want to express my admiration for you; you have achieved your goal."

"The progress of the Kingdom of Heaven's arrival has completely stopped, and the fog of salvation will no longer expand outwards."

"As a human being, you have accomplished a miracle."

replace……

Qiao Ye's pupils contracted slightly.

He finally understood what the price of using forbidden power was.

I will completely disappear from this world.

Only the true Demon King remained.

Is this my fate...?

Qiao Ye was not flustered, after all, he had already made mental preparations before transforming.

He could accept whatever the outcome.

but--

"Qiao Ye!!!"

A sound that was almost a scream came from beside my ear.

This awakens Qiao Ye from his daze.

Following the sound, he looked down and saw a kitten jump out of Qiao Ye's chest.

Sienna.

She miraculously broke free from her suspended animation and regained consciousness.

This is undoubtedly an extremely reckless act.

Now that the Demon King is facing off against the Vice-King of Heaven, any aftershocks of the battle could annihilate her completely.

But she still jumped out.

And it was this one sentence that changed the course of Qiao Ye's complete demonization.

"Qiao Ye?"

Are you calling me?

The black markings on Qiao Ye's body suddenly began to tremble.

"Qiao Ye..."

The lines gradually faded, revealing a normal skin tone.

"My name is... Qiao Ye!"

A moment of clarity finally permeated Qiao Ye's mind.

His name is Qiao Ye.

He remembered.

His name is Qiao Ye!
