Chapter 52: Eyes of the Goddess

"God--"

"Jesus."

“Holy shit!”

People couldn't believe that under the attack of the nuclear bomb, the demon not only did not die, but became even more powerful.

Its body was wriggling more violently than ever before, and its size was expanding. Only holes were left where its eyeballs had originally been, with black fluid constantly oozing out. There was still a single eyeball left in the middle, but that eye was rapidly expanding.

Glenn's face seemed to age ten years in an instant.

He slowly took off his hat, slowly sat on the chair, and looked at the staff officer on the side: "Tell the president that I will fight in New York until the last moment."

The staff officer forced a smile on his pale face: "It is my honor to work with you."

Just when everyone thought that the demon was unstoppable, only Bai Shihang knew through [listening] that the demon's body had reached the end of its strength and was about to self-destruct, which was why its body expanded rapidly.

Although I couldn't understand what the demon said, I could understand the rhythm inside its body.

His chance has come!

Since you are going to self-destruct anyway, why not let me use a parasite and feel the power at the same time.

Manhattan city area.

A troop is clearing the rubble.

Logically speaking, tasks like clearing ruins should not be carried out while the battle is still going on.

But there is no way, because the person buried inside is an "angel"!
However, engineering machinery cannot be deployed at present, and blasting is not allowed, which means that the engineers can only rely on small equipment for excavation, and the progress is slow.

But unfortunately, their work was in vain.

The angel controlled by Bai Shihang was just looking for a place to lie down for a while. Now that the opponent is no longer able to do it, he can do it.

An engineer had just shoveled away a piece of stone when he felt a vibration underneath him. He was so scared that he quickly left the ruins.

But a few seconds later, a glowing figure rose into the sky from the place he had just left.

Cameras deployed in many places on the battlefield quickly turned to the angel. His broken body and broken arms all told of the fierce battle between him and the devil.

Despite this, people can still feel his holy light and indomitable will.

The commander-in-chief, Glenn, and even the people in the command room did not hold out much hope, but they still made the sign of the cross on their chests and prayed silently.

The angel raised his only remaining left hand high, and the light on his body became stronger and stronger.

Bai Shihang used all his strength to unleash the [Injury Aura], and at least the visual effect looked very good. In the camera footage, the cracks on his body were quickly repaired, but his broken arm remained.

Even though people were several kilometers away, they could feel the healing power of the holy light. Their panic was immediately quelled, and the fire of hope continued to sprout from the bottom of their hearts.

The angel Michael looked directly at the devil, who was also roaring.

With a sound of breaking through the air, a spreading cloud circle was left in its place. The real body had already appeared above the demon's huge eyeball and swung a punch containing holy light.

At this time, the devil has expanded to the extreme.

Looking at the hateful little flying stick above its head, it self-destructed directly in the direction of the angel.

It looked like an angel had delivered a powerful blow.

In silence, an extremely thick beam of light bombarded the sky. Looking up, the dark clouds were directly blown away, and the sun was visible in the sky. The tremendous energy even made the sea boil!

"This power can be used as a disposable planetary engine." Bai Shihang looked at the pillar of light rising into the sky outside the window, a little envious of such great power, "Sure enough, I am still far behind."

The parasite was killed directly, but it seemed to have discovered something before it died, so Bai Shihang controlled another parasite that entered the void and contained it. The beam of annihilation reached a height of one thousand kilometers, and the low-Earth orbit satellites that were nearby to watch the excitement fell into chaos and interference. Even the satellites in the geosynchronous orbit were interfered and could not be used for a short time.

When the light faded, the rainstorm gradually subsided, the dark clouds fell silently, the sea filled up, a large number of fish carcasses floated on the sea, and the steaming mist drifted into the city with a strong fishy smell.

"Is this what it means to burn the sky and boil the sea?" exclaimed someone who is well versed in the culture of the great Eastern country.

"So, the demon was... destroyed?"

"It seems, yes! But our satellite equipment has been interfered with, and we have activated the nearest drone to conduct reconnaissance."

Inside the command room, everyone clenched their fists, anxiously waiting for the final confirmation.

"Drones, fighter jets, and deployed ocean monitors have simultaneously confirmed that no demon remains have been found!"

"God! We won!"

"Long live the angels!!!"

"Today is our new 'Independence Day'!"

The command room was in a frenzy, and even the serious Glenn rarely smiled.

"Report to the commander-in-chief."

"Yes!"

Soon after, in the presence of many reporters who had been waiting for a long time, the President delivered a national speech. After a series of modifications to the war, he announced the victory of the human defense war.

"God bless America, this is a great and glorious victory, we defended our homeland and all mankind"

Bai Shihang also saw it, and he didn't expect that a battle to defend New York would be elevated to a battle to defend humanity. But it doesn't matter, there will be many opportunities to play slowly in the future, so I'll give you a little sweetness first.
Well, if they really think it's sweet.

In mid-air, walking in the void, he looked at the devastated city of Manhattan, the famous center of the world.

Dilapidated high-rise buildings, thick smoke drifting into the sky, rubble all over the ground, and a crying but cheering crowd.

No wonder superheroes like to use this place as a battlefield. It turns out that the feeling of destroying everything is so refreshing.

I really wonder if Jennifer will think she has traveled through time when she wakes up and sees this scene.

Shiraishi Hang thought happily.

Retracting his gaze, he pinched a strange eyeball and held it in front of himself.

This was the little gadget he found when the demon blew itself up.

With his metaphysical intuition, he gave this thing a name and description.

【Eyes of the Goddess】

The effect occurs when carried, the crystallization of the good thoughts in the goddess statue.

Effect 1: Can mark five beings, then actively grant weakened abilities or grant weakened abilities when the other party requests a blessing. The duration depends on the owner. The more demons it kills, the greater the improvement in physical fitness, and it will provide certain feedback to the owner.

This ability is a weakened version of symbiosis, but it allows him to create a force that does not need to take anything and can gain abilities purely through "blessing". The disadvantage is that such a person will not mutate to give him new abilities, and can only kill the demons he created to improve his insignificant physical fitness.

Effect 2: It is regarded as having the ability of [Holy Light]. The more evil a being has, the more destructive this ability is, but there is also a limit.

With these two abilities, I can easily pull out a team of paladins, which is an unexpected gain. I didn't expect that demons could also drop gold coins.

What other "existences" filled with evil thoughts are there in this world? Shiraishi Kou knows of at least one, although it is not strictly speaking a whole and is located in Tokyo. With the evil thoughts accumulated in that thing, it is probably more difficult to deal with than the goddess statue, so it can only be postponed.

So now, he plans to use this marking ability to lay some foreshadowing.
