Villain: Ultimate Mutation System in the Alternate World

Chapter 144: Divines



"That Inferior Being! I will kill him! "

A powerful voice echoed through the walls, its intensity so powerful that it reverberated through the very foundations of the palace.

The voice emanated from a woman with silver hair and golden eyes, bearing resemblance to the priestess Reign had killed.

However, this woman was far more beautiful and ethereal, her aura exuding a power at least a hundred times stronger.

She was now seated on a resplendent golden throne, its right and left side adorned with five pairs of majestic silver wings , each pair shimmering .

Behind her throne, a gate of ancient design stood tall, its imposing presence enhanced by numerous chains, each link pulsating with power.

"Archangel Uriel, what's the matter?" Dozens of minor angels hurriedly entered the throne room, bowing their heads in reverence.

They were all adorned in flowing white robes intricately embellished with golden lacing.

The insignia of Uriel, a lantern with flames dancing within, was prominently embedded on the chest of each garment, shimmering in the ambient light.

They all knelt on the ground, their heads bowed, awaiting Uriel's next words.

The figure before them looked womanly, but none of them think of her as one.

Archangels, the original divine beings, transcended gender.

Unlike minor angels, they possessed the ability to assume any form they desired, so gender was not a binding concept to them.

'That inferior being thinks he's strong?. If not for this constraint,' she gritted her teeth in frustration, glancing down at her hands bound by golden chains.

That's correct. The golden chains were not her true power, but actually something that had been restricting her.

Because of the golden chains, even when she went to the human world, she could only use the chains to fight and not her innate abilities.

Her true power was immense.

Archangel Uriel stands as one of the mightiest among all archangels, endowed with a unique gift: the ability to reflect the Light of God.

The brilliance of God's light was beyond human comprehension, but through Uriel, mortals can experience a semblance of being in the divine presence.

To have the light of God mirrored upon them by her was the closest humans can come to basking in the actual radiance of the Almighty.

What Reign fought was a severely weakened version of Uriel.

She spoke the truth when she claimed she could kill him with a mere flick of her fingers.

"Prepare another vessel for me," she ordered, eager to return to the human world and seek revenge against Reign.

Angels were inherently prideful beings, and what she had experienced was intolerable and embarrassing to her.

"I apologize, Archangel Uriel, but it will take time to send you back," replied the subordinate angel.

"Why?" Uriel's voice echoed, her eyes filled with frustration.

"The human word's law had increase its defenses; it would be much more difficult now," the angel explained, bowing his head, wary of invoking her wrath.

After hearing this, Uriel took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.

She was well aware of the laws of the world, the very rules that prevented angels from directly intervening in the human world in the first place.

In fact, the reason her power was currently restrained by these chains was because they served as a punishment.

It was the consequence of her attempt to enter the human world using her true form.

"How many days until I can come back?" Uriel asked, recognizing that her frustration shouldn't burden her subordinates.

"At least 12 months in human time," the angel subordinate replied.

Uriel leaned back on her throne, pressing her hand against her forehead. She felt a headache coming on from the effort of controlling her anger.

Judging from Reign's rapid growth, even if she were to return to the human world in 12 months, she would need to amass more devotees just to stand a chance against him in battle.

The connection between the human world and Heaven had only opened up more than a year ago.

All the angels feared that this connection would be forever severed.

And they worried that once humans were eradicated, their power would gradually fade, and the Heavenly Realm would vanish along with it.

They attempted to contact their creator, the one above all, but even their last hope lost connection with them.

It felt as though they had been forsaken, left for dead and abandoned.

But just when all hope was lost, something or someone overwhelmingly powerful forcibly opened the barrier of the human world.

This was a feat that not even the combined efforts of the strongest Archangels could accomplish.

When this small gap opened, Uriel attempted to descend with her real body, only to be restrained.

To bypass this, the other Archangels chose to send only fragments of their consciousness, ones they could afford to lose.

"I hate to do this, but..." She paused. "Send a message to Ariel for me," she ordered.

She didn't have a good relationship with her other siblings, leaving her with few options.

Seated on a simple throne was a woman with short green hair and emerald eyes.

Unlike Uriel, her body was petite, and she did not wore any extravagant attire.

She adorned herself in a modest white robe, accentuated by delicate green patterns.

A crown of intertwined roots graced her head, adding a natural elegance to her appearance.

Her throne, too, lacked flamboyance. Carved from roots, it seamlessly blended with her palace, located inside a colossal tree.

"That Uriel is doing something unnecessary again. For an angel supposed to reflect light, she's very narrow-minded," Ariel sighed after reading the message.

She was requesting to locate someone in the human world out of revenged.

"I could do it for a favor, but should I?" Ariel pondered silently.

Even among the angels, she was known for her pacifism and aversion to conflict.

But that didn't mean she was the weakest; in fact, it was quite the opposite .

Ariel's vessel was not only more powerful but had also been cultivating her own religion for a much longer period.

And unlike Uriel, Ariel did not face the constraints of the golden chains, allowing her to use her innate abilities to control Elements.

Though she might not access her full power in the human world, her command over her innate abilities would be a big advantage.

'I won't do it,' a smile graced on her lips.

She didn't particularly like Uriel, so she felt no obligation to obey her request.

Besides, Uriel was a problem child, too impulsive and headstrong for her own good. Her behavior often irritated Ariel most of the time who was more calm minded and easy going.

If her guess was correct, Uriel had likely attacked this particular person, who then defended himself and ended up killing her.

'It's your fault for being annoying,' she chuckled as she burned the letter.

She decided she would just pretend to comply with Uriel's request .

After she was done with her own things to do, she closed her eyes, and began linking with her vessel.

Her priority now was to expand her influence as much as possible, allowing her to access more of her power.

During the time that the angels were cut off from the human world, she discovered that the demons had grown stronger.

A few of them were close to achieving the same power level as the Archangels.

'Those Demon Gods are the real problem' Ariel muttered.
