Summoning the Holy Sword

“… Good news and bad news.”

Gazing at Canary, Mini Bubble Gum, and Lydia, Rhode spread his arms apart helplessly and said.

“Good news: we know where this place is, at the very least. Based on the things I found earlier, we’re now deep inside a moon base. As for the bad news, this isn’t the region where we came from in our real world.”

“Isn’t that a good thing, Leader?”

After hearing his words, Mini Bubble Gum seemed relatively optimistic.

“Since this isn’t our region, that means we can defeat them all! Since they attacked us, they are definitely hostile. Besides, we may have already exposed our identities here. In order to not create any more problems, why don’t we just eliminate them all?!”

After hearing Mini Bubble Gum’s remarks, Canary knitted her brows. Neither did she agree nor reject her suggestion. She also felt like it was impossible to be treated amicably here. This was why they might as well kill them all, so they could at least escape and avoid capture. But this time, Rhode shook his head and denied Mini Bubble Gum.

“No, we can’t leave this place for now. It would be best if we can gain control over this base. Since we arrived here, it means their signaling position is within this base. We have to find the connection between the two, so…”

“Rather than leaving this place, we are better off controlling the area and conducting an investigation. That’s my leader! I love this bold idea!”

All of a sudden, Mini Bubble Gum became excited, while Canary rolled her eyes and kept quiet. Well, she couldn’t be blamed. After confirming that this was her ‘native home’, she felt mixed emotions. Mini Bubble Gum and Canary were ‘good citizens’ who obeyed the law and hadn’t been treated to tea by any police officers in a police station before. And now, they had actually attacked an official army of a country. Moreover, they weren’t weak, fragile young ladies anymore, but were strong, formidable beings instead. The battle against the steel machines earlier boosted their confidence and now, Mini Bubble Gum was like one who had coincidentally awakened mysterious powers and in a delusion to take over the world.

As the soldiers arrived at the warehouse, the leading soldier suddenly came to a halt.

“Sir, high-energy response spotted ahead!”

“Everyone take guard!”

After hearing the captain’s order, the soldiers dispersed immediately. They raised their weapons and aimed at the heavy, steel gate ahead. They had a reason to act cautiously because rays of light were escaping through the gap of the steel gate. The light was faint, but was increasing in brightness gradually. Shortly after, rays of light passed through the impenetrable steel gate like blade rays and the blinding light reached its peak.

Boom!

In a loud explosion and powerful impact, the steel gate instantly shattered and flew into the air. Then, a blinding ball of light flew out from within. Looking at this scene, the soldiers raised their weapons quickly, aiming at the intruder with uncertainty.

“Everyone get ready! Fir—”

But that was the end.

The full command almost left his mouth, but was forcefully held back as he stared at the terrifying scene. The soldiers also widened their eyes in bewilderment.

“T-This is…”

The dazzling brilliance enveloped everything in its path. A young lady donned in an incredibly-elegant, long dress drifted casually in the air. Her beautiful face was so pure and sweet. The pair of white, majestic wings behind her expanded to the sides, sprinkling glittering golden dust. This view was so beautiful that it enchanted the soldiers.

“Oh, Lord…”

Looking at this scene, many soldiers laid down their weapons and stared blankly at the young lady in disbelief and widened eyes.

“It seems like the plan worked.”

Upon sensing the situation outside, Rhode displayed a proud smile. He knew that even though religions existed in this world, none had truly witnessed divine emissaries. And now, this true archangel of Lydia showed up before them. Even if she didn’t lay a finger on them, her sacred aura was sufficient to bewitch the soldiers. So, the next move would be…

“Canary, Bubble, are you ready? It’s our turn now!”

“Of course, Leader!”

Upon hearing his question, Mini Bubble Gum turned around, smiled at him, and gave a thumbs up.

“Remember, no Russian!”

Ding——!

At the same time, the elevator doors opened.
