Chapter 313: The Price of Corruption
For whatever reason, the Colosseum and the sky above it were saturated with magic and various energies. Gi-Gyus gate could be a likely culprit; all in all, the incredible energies here made it the perfect descending ground for monsters.
A bright light shone in the sky.
Ahhh exclaimed the Roman citizens all around the place. Ahhh! Please save us!
They had been on their way to the Colosseum to seek safety, but when they saw the bright light, they knelt on the ground and began praying. The Vatican still had a great influence on Italy. Although most of the religions were gone, many still remained religious.
And at this very moment, the magical light was enough to strengthen their faith.
Its time an elderly gentleman in an elegant suit rose and whispered. At the time, there was a myth: One day, the sky would illuminate their country and bring salvation. Consequently, the crowd erupted in murmurs, and some even knelt on the ground. However, they all looked around to figure out the situation.
The elderly gentleman continued, The light will arrive from the sky
Although he was mumbling, everyone could still hear him. He continued, Sending Gods warriors to destroy our enemy.
Fwoosh!
Initially, the light only beamed down in the middle of the Colosseum. However, it began to spread; it soon enveloped everything around the Colosseum.
Kyaaaa!
GGods light!
What the hell is that?!
When the people saw an ominous black light trying to devour Gods light, they began screaming.
***
Several figures chuckled ominously in the middle of the Colosseum, where the light shone the brightest.
Kekeke.
The great beings have arrived. Alberto, they will tear you limb from limb and then feed you to the monsters! said a politician to Alberto. It was hard to believe a high-ranking politician would speak so coarsely. Alberto couldnt help but sigh when he thought about how such an individual was responsible for leading Italy.
These people were solely responsible for the current situation.
Marchetti Alberto thought about Marchetti and other Argus members. Marchetti had said he wasnt sure but believed many ex-Argus members were now loyal to the Vatican.
Seemingly, all those members had one thing in common.
They were told that their dead families will be resurrected.
Alberto found this promise ridiculous. The very same people who had killed their families had promised to resurrect them.
Well, I guess they arent the only ones responsible, Alberto muttered. A part of him blamed him for what had happened. This wouldnt have happened if he hadnt formed the group. And even if he did, he shouldve cared for the members better.
One of the politicians screamed, You have the appearance of the great beings, but! Your wings are black! Clearly, youre impersonating the great beings!
When the politicians first saw Hamiel, they had revered him. However, they had soon realized Hammiel didnt look like the ones they worshiped. They still couldnt attack him, but they now seemed certain Hamiel was not on their side.
Fwoosh.
The light beaming down on the Colosseum grew brighter. Slowly, the politicians and their guards began changing.
Kekeke They stopped speaking words and began groaning like beasts.
Are you okay? Alberto asked Hamiel, unperturbed by the politicians transformation. He was more worried about how tense Hamiel looked. An ominous energy danced around Hamiel.
Hamiel chuckled and replied, Im fine.
Alberto flinched and looked away when a frown appeared on Hamiels face.
What happened to him? Alberto wondered. Back when the first monster had attacked the Colosseum, he had chased after Cardinal Castro with Hamiel. At the time, Hamiel had a respectful attitude and had introduced himself as a servant of his grandmaster, Gi-Gyu.
Hamiel roared, Eat up.
The dark energy from Hamiel began devouring the light beam from the sky. It was then that someone came down from the sky.
Was one of Gods apostles descending?
Hamiels forehead and lips twitched. He mumbled, Grandmaster I am forever indebted to you. I will repay you with everything I have until my soul disappears.
The descending angel looked familiar.
Alberto murmured, Cardinal Castro.

How do you feel? the one who used the alias Ras asked. He held a low Seat of Power but had enjoyed great power in hell after Lucifers demise. But Marquis of Dissension wasnt satisfied with this. In the end, he had extended his claws to Earth.
Andras, I can tell you have prepared a lot for this.
I am relieved you are satisfied with my work, Andras replied respectfully. It was hard to believe that a powerful figure like him was acting so humble. He knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to the figure in front of him.
But its not perfect yet. Is this all you have accomplished so far?
No. Andras raised his head. Your current body was about to shatter, so I made this as a temporary measure.
The figure nodded arrogantly.
Andras continued, Your actual new form is being prepared as we speak. I am sparing no effort to create a powerful shell to hold you.
The figure finally looked satisfied. He said to Andras, It looks like Gabriel has made his move.
Yes. Andras bowed deeply enough to touch the ground again. Now that he has realized the truth, he must be impatient. He has been waiting for a very long time. Knowing what hes like, the fact that he has waited this long must mean
It must be because he isnt in good condition.
Indeed.
Both Andras and the man smiled.
He was a complicated problem. I was planning on using him as a pawn, but he kept trying to change the game. But its understandable. The smile on the mans lips deepened. He was stuck inside Chaos for a time, so it makes sense that he isnt in a normal state. This actually works to our advantage. He was a tricky problem, but now he has become nothing.
Very much so.
All right, so I hear you helped him.
Andras raised his head again and explained, I only helped a little in his plan.
Kekeke the man chuckled. He suspected Andras did much more than just help a little. He was certain that Andras had manipulated Gabriel to further their plan.
The man rubbed his chin and mumbled, But you acted too rashly. I think its because
The man frowned when he felt his hairless chin. His original face was covered in an unruly beard, but now, his face was clean-shaven.
He asked, Is it because of that child?
Yes. Andras bowed again guiltily.
Fine, I can understand that. But everything will find its place eventually, Andras.
I am at your command, Andras offered.
The man ordered majestically, Continue working on the new body for me, but at the same time, you must also find the remnants of my other forms. The things Gaia and my old forms held will help us greatly in the future.
Of course, I will do as you wish, so Andras bowed again and continued, You must become the king of this world and all the dimensions. Youre the only one fit for the position, and When the time comes, please do not forget your promise.
Andras inhaled deeply before whispering, Oh, mighty Kronos.
The man quickly disappeared as if he was just an illusion. The only thing that proved he had been here was the smile on Andras lips.
