Chapter 916: Chapter 917 Innocence_1

Seeing Song Jian approaching, the one-winged battle angel Zhuo Wen dropped to one knee, seemingly resigned to his fate.

“Respected Judger, Battle Angel Zhuo Wen salutes you. I am willing to accept your judgment and atone for the errors I have committed in the past,” Zhuo Wen said, lowering his head to Song Jian.

“Do you know what the outcome will be if you are judged?” Song Jian asked. Nearly all the angels in the Judgment Hall were there for the errors they had made and were waiting for judgment. Unfortunately, following the fall of Sky City, after centuries of lonely years, the majority of battle angels were seduced by the forces of darkness, breaking their vows and becoming slaves to those dark powers—turning into monsters.

But this battle angel before him, though also eroded by the dark forces quite a bit, remained resolute and did not succumb to the darkness, falling into a murderous monster.

“Only by undergoing judgment can I cleanse myself of the sins I bear. No matter the outcome, I will face it bravely!” Zhuo Wen lifted his head, his eyes clear as he spoke to Song Jian.

What Song Jian didn’t know was that it was precisely because he had eradicated all the sinful angels who had fallen into darkness that Zhuo Wen received immense encouragement. It allowed him to temporarily break free from the dark forces and regain his sanity.

At this moment, Zhuo Wen felt a relaxation he had never experienced before, wishing only to quietly wait for the adjudication of the Judger—this had been his obsession for centuries.

Song Jian looked at Zhuo Wen, raising the Sky-breaking Sword in his hand and pointing it at him, he loudly recited, “Judgment!”

The Sound of Judgment echoed in the sky, and a white beam of light descended from above, enveloping Zhuo Wen completely.

“The Judger judges the Sinful Angel Zhuo Wen. Verdict: Innocent. Zhuo Wen is restored to the glory of a Battle Angel!”

Song Jian was taken aback. To think that those detained in the Judgment Hall were all angels burdened with sins, how could Zhuo Wen possibly be innocent?

“Maybe there was a mistake before? Or perhaps after centuries of confinement, Zhuo Wen had in fact already atoned for himself?” Song Jian speculated in his heart.

A look of surprise appeared on Zhuo Wen’s face. He too seemed shocked and taken aback by the verdict, but soon his expression turned to one of relief, and a smile spread across his face.

The white column of light that enveloped him didn’t disappear but instead condensed continuously until it formed a single white feathered wing covering his back.

Originally a one-winged Zhuo Wen, he had now been restored as a Battle Angel. Powerful strength flowed unceasingly from the Angel’s Wings, and Zhuo Wen let out a satisfied groan. This sensation of power had been absent for centuries, and today, it finally returned to him.

Just like that, a cross-shaped sword appeared in his hand. With a casual swing, a large hole broke open in the cell before him, and Zhuo Wen walked out of his cage.

“Sky City has fallen. I fear I might be the last angel in this world,” Zhuo Wen lamented.

“How can that be? Aren’t there many Sky Cities in this world?” Song Jian said curiously. “I’ve heard that there’s more than one Sky City.”

“What you speak of is merely a projection of Sky City, whereas this city is the origin!” Zhuo Wen gave Song Jian a glance, shaking his head, “Even the Judger inheritance has been obtained by a human, I’m afraid it won’t take long for angels to become creatures of legend.”

Song Jian was somewhat at a loss for words. He could sense that Zhuo Wen was somewhat dissatisfied with him having attained the title of “Angel Judger,” but if he hadn’t received the Judger’s title, he wouldn’t have been able to judge Zhuo Wen, and Zhuo Wen wouldn’t have been able to get a “not guilty” verdict. Eventually, the darkness would erode him, and he would fall into becoming a monster just like the other Sinful Angels;

“I want to visit the Prayer Tower to see for myself. Inside the Sacred Spirit Temple there, there should be a considerable number of Heart of the Angel. As long as we have enough Heart of the Angel, the glory of Sky City will surely reappear in this world!” A determined expression emerged on Zhuo Wen’s face. Since he was now the last Battle Angel in this world, the responsibility of rebuilding Sky City and restoring the Battle Angels’ glory naturally fell upon his shoulders;

“In fact, I once fought alongside a Battle Angel in Abyssal Hell, and his name was Kekaul!” Song Jian hesitated before speaking, “Sadly, he fell in battle within Abyssal Hell, but his roar coalesced into an Angel Egg. My friend hatched it, and it became his combat companion!”

“What, are you saying that I’m not the only angel in this world?” Zhuo Wen suddenly became excited;

“He hasn’t grown up yet, still looks like a child, only at level seven!” said Song Jian, shaking his head;

“Level Seven…” Zhuo Wen mused for a moment, then plucked a feather from his Angel’s Wings and handed it to Song Jian, “Since he has chosen to become your friend’s combat partner, I will respect his choice! Please pass this Angel’s Feather to him. Once he reaches level ten, he must return to Sky City and undergo the most orthodox Battle Angel training. The inheritance of the Battle Angels will be passed down through us two; that is his duty!”

Song Jian nodded, taking the Angel’s Feather and placing it into his inventory. He suddenly realized why Sky City appeared so close to Doomsday City—perhaps it was because it sensed Xiao Yong’s presence that it appeared here;

After explaining everything, Zhuo Wen flapped his wings and flew toward the exit of Judgment Hall. Song Jian carefully searched the Judgment Hall once more and found nothing else, so he had to leave the instance;

By the time Song Jian left the instance, the trace of the Battle Angel Zhuo Wen had already vanished. His gaze turned toward the white tower, and at that moment, Zhuo Wen was probably already inside it.

Just then, a violent explosion suddenly came from afar;

Boom~

A small mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and the ground of Sky City trembled slightly;

Song Jian frowned and looked in that direction, unable to help but mutter, “Who just dropped an intercontinental missile here?”

Of course, the power of the explosion was not comparable to an intercontinental missile. If it were really an intercontinental missile, this city floating among the clouds would probably have been shattered to pieces, utterly destroyed;

After the explosion, Song Jian heard a roar like thunder. A monster wrapped in golden chains appeared before him. Several players were continuously attacking it, but their attacks were like mosquitoes around an elephant to the monster—annoying at best and without any real deterrent effect;
