As A Human Child, I Was Pampered By Angels - Chapter 23
Chapter 23 False Alarm, The Storm Disperses
“It’s that figure again?
What the hell is going on?”
Seeing a familiar shadow in the storm, Ian’s expression immediately changed.
If the first time he saw the shadow near the statue of the eighteen-winged angel had been a coincidence, the second time he saw it in the storm had struck Ian as unbelievable.
He wanted to tell Karris about this, but Ian realized that other than him, the other angels did not seem to notice anything unusual.
In other words, no one could see the shadow.
This made Ian even more puzzled.
Who was that shadow?
Did he have any thoughts about him?
Why was it that such a clear figure, or
rather… the shadow of an unknown creature,
could only be seen by him?
Countless questions popped up in Ian’s mind. This feeling of being targeted by some existence made Ian very unhappy.
But there was nothing he could do now.
In fact, if possible, he really wanted to ask who the other party was.
However, both parties were far away at the moment. If he rashly spoke, he would only be thought by the angel sisters to be delirious or frightened by the storm.
It was also impossible for him to leave the hall and enter the storm alone.
Thus, Ian could only suppress the doubts in his heart.
However, this matter had taken root in his heart.
If there was a chance in the future, he would definitely find out.
While Ian was thinking about this, the shadow in the storm gradually disappeared.
Not only did this not reassure Ian, but he became even more vigilant.
The fact that the other party could silently appear near the angel statue and freely enter and exit the fierce law storm meant that its strength was definitely not ordinary.
Don’t forget, even High-level Gods couldn’t resist such a law storm, but he could come
and go as he pleased.
Didn’t this mean that the other party’s strength had to be at least at the level of a Main God?
Or perhaps… the other party’s strength was comparable to a Divine King!
That was because being able to withstand a storm and being able to calmly enter and exit a storm were two different concepts. After an unknown period of time, the violent storm on the horizon gradually disappeared. The remnant power of the old Divine King once again protected the beautiful race of
angels.
Marlena and the angels heaved a long sigh of relief when they saw the storm dissipate.
She walked to the front of the crowd, placed her left hand across her chest, and knelt on one knee with her head slightly lowered. The other angels followed Marlena’s example and knelt neatly on the ground.
This was a form of etiquette when the angels saw the Divine King.
Millions of years ago, when angels relied on
the Divine King for glory, angels would use such actions to express their gratitude to the Divine King.
There were hundreds of similar etiquettes.
Worship, request, gratitude, welcome,
respect…
The etiquette between gods was complicated. Whether it was angels or other living beings, they had to use different etiquettes to show respect when they saw Main Gods or higher existences.
Just like how the angels bowed to Ian previously, it was very different from how they were thanking the old Divine King now.
Then, under Marlena’s lead, the angels completed the gratitude ceremony.
After the storm completely dissipated, the angels repeated their previous actions and removed the defensive barrier above them. They walked out of the hall one after another.
Ruth patted her chest gently. “That was close. Fortunately, we have the protection of the Divine King. Otherwise, we would all have been destroyed by the storm.”
Kai En nodded slightly. “The Divine King has
passed away for a million years, but he still protects us.”
Then, she looked at Ian. “My little Holy Son,
when will you grow up and replace the dark forces to become the new Divine King?”
At her words, the other angels turned their
attention back to Ian.
Every time they saw Ian, their eyes were always filled with vitality.
Putting aside everyone’s love for Ian, Ian was the last hope of the angel race.
However, Ian ignored these beautiful sisters.
When the storm invaded the barrier just now, he had clearly seen some fluctuations in the barrier. Ian was actually very worried that
this fragile barrier would one day completely shatter.
Therefore, he was thinking about how to help
the angels resist the storm once and for all.
After all, the barrier was fixed and could only be used for defense.
This kind of fixed defense was actually very passive. For example, if outsiders invaded on a large scale and the angels did not have time
to open the barrier, they would face a massacre!
However, Ian knew that this matter was not
simple.
The best way to eliminate the threat of the
storm was to directly destroy the source of the storm.
However, the reason why the law storm was
formed was because of the ancient war between the gods.
The battlefield of the gods was close to the edge of the Heaven Realm.
After all, no matter how much the gods
fought for power, they would not make a mess of their territory unless it was absolutely necessary. Therefore, the gods had tacitly moved the battlefield to the edge of the
Heaven Realm, near where the angels lived! This place was the most vulnerable to storms. At the moment, Ian’s strength was definitely not enough to eliminate the power of the laws of chaos.
Who knew when he would become a Supreme
Angel?
Therefore, in the short term, the best way to
avoid the threat of the storm was to let the
angels leave this place and live somewhere else.
But this obviously wouldn’t work either.
This was because although the Angel race was
guarding this place on the surface, they were actually sent here by the 12 Main Gods. If the angel race left without permission, they would definitely attract the secret revenge of the 12 Main Gods.
At that time, without the protection of the
barrier left behind by the old Divine King, the fragile angel race might be instantly destroyed.
If the Main Gods were any more shameless
and personally came down to encircle and annihilate them, then the history of the Angel race would come to an end.
After thinking about it, Ian couldn’t think of a good solution.
At this moment, the angels at the side did not know what Ian was thinking.
Seeing Ian in a daze, they thought that Ian was frightened by the storm, so they surrounded him and teased him.
“Don’t be afraid, Ian. Sister will protect you.”
“The power of a Divine King is indestructible. You’ll understand when you become a Divine
King.”
As these angels spoke, they gently pinched Ian’s face.
At this moment, Ian’s brows were tightly
furrowed, and his little face was slightly puffed up. As long as the angels took a look, their hearts would melt. Who wouldn’t want to play with such a cute new baby?
