My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 480 - 481: The War Begins!
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
The orders issued by the Demon God Abyss rippled through the entire Demon Realm in a heartbeat.
Arrogantly, these commands echoed within the consciousness of every member of the Demon Race.
Within their society, hierarchy is dictated by power, and the Demon God stands as the ultimate sovereign.
They would offer nothing but absolute obedience to the Demon God’s decrees!
“Awoo—!!!”
“For the glory of Lord Demon God!”
“Shred those vermin to pieces!!”
A brief moment of silence was instantly replaced by a frenzied, tidal wave of responses!
Under the influence of the Demon God’s mandate, all lingering fear was transmuted into the most primal and savage bloodlust!
Entrenched in the core of the realm, terrifying demons revealed their true forms and stirred from their slumber.
They began a massive surge toward the outskirts, targeting the coalition forces from the Alternate Space.
The sky, which had only just begun to see the light of day, was once again cast into shadow by their staggering numbers.
Nearly ten Totem Level Nine demons spearheaded the charge.
The very earth trembled and groaned beneath the rhythmic stomping of the demonic legion.
However, the Alternate Space coalition proved to be just as formidable.
With several Totem Level Nine dragons at the helm, they advanced toward the heart of the Demon Realm, accompanied by Totem-level experts from various tribes.
The two opposing tides of power soon collided head-on.
No words were exchanged; no unnecessary movements were made.
Upon initial contact, the two massive armies slammed into one another with violent force.
Following a thunderous explosion of sound,
the world seemed to stand still for a heartbeat before erupting into absolute chaos.
The heavens were the first to yield to the pressure.
“Roar—!!!”
A multitude of Totem Level Nine golden dragons released sky-shattering roars as they engaged the Totem Level Nine demons in the first wave of combat.
“Boom—!!!”
The resulting shockwaves of pure energy instantly vaporized low-tier demons within a several-mile radius.
Predicting the arrival of these Totem Level Nine demons, Tushan Yueli had fortunately ordered all coalition units below the Totem level to fall back.
This tactical move significantly reduced the casualties for the coalition.
The Totem Level Nine combatants on both sides recognized the situation.
A battle between beings of their caliber would bring total annihilation to those beneath them.
Thus, by mutual, unspoken agreement,
they ascended higher into the atmosphere, shifting their duel further away from the ground.
Meanwhile, on the surface,
the lower-ranked soldiers of both factions began their clash.
The battlefield was transformed into a literal meat grinder in an instant.
In a conflict of this scale, the strength of a single individual was trivial.
Only through collective unity was there any hope of surviving this slaughter.
Tushan Yueli’s role was to ensure that every soldier could hold onto that sliver of hope...
while simultaneously inflicting the most brutal damage possible upon the Demon Race.
“All defensive Guardian Beasts, maintain the formation!”
At the vanguard, a commander screamed until his voice cracked, the veins in his neck bulging with effort.
One after another, defensive Guardian Beasts were summoned to the front lines.
Eventually, an unbreakable wall of defensive Guardian Beasts was established.
Barely a second after the line was set, the demon horde struck like a devastating tsunami!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!!”
The heavy sounds of impact merged into a single, unending rhythm.
The beasts in the front row were visibly crushed and broken under the weight of the charge.
Yet, in this dire moment, no Beast Master mourned their companions, and no beast showed a trace of cowardice.
Even with death staring them in the face!
“Long-range Guardian Beasts, unleash maximum fire support!!”
From the rear, the long-range units that had been holding back finally found their opening.
A storm of projectiles soared over the heads of the defensive line, crashing into the demon tide that had been momentarily halted by the collision.
Frost, wind blades, and raging flames...
Elemental attacks of every kind exploded within the demonic ranks, causing dozens to fall with agonized shrieks.
The wall of defensive Guardian Beasts had successfully secured a window for the long-range troops to deal massive damage.
But the sheer quantity of demons was overwhelming.
Fallen fiends were ground into the dirt as those from the rear stepped over their corpses to continue the assault.
They lashed out with teeth and claws, throwing their bodies against the line.
The pressure became too much for the defensive Guardian Beasts to withstand.
Slowly, the line began to splinter under the relentless pressure of the demonic tide.
Nevertheless, Tushan Yueli remained calm and composed.
She extended her Spiritual Power across the entire theater of war,
monitoring every sector and observing every combatant.
Just as the demons were on the verge of a breakthrough, Tushan Yueli’s voice resonated in the minds of the soldiers.
“Members of the Ghost Race, advance and hold the position!”
“Blood Race and Angel Race, provide cover from behind the Ghost Race.”
“Qingqiu Race, focus all efforts on buffing our allies.”
...
Following Tushan Yueli’s precise directions,
each race fulfilled its designated role.
Under her strategic guidance, the chaotic battlefield began to stabilize.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Gu Xing shifted his focus toward the deepest reaches of the Demon Realm.
He had his own war to wage.
Even if the coalition managed to wipe out every demon in sight,
it would mean nothing if the Demon God Abyss remained standing.
A single Demon God possessed the power to wipe out the entire coalition single-handedly.
Gu Xing took a deep breath, steadying his heart.
He spoke slowly, delivering his instructions:
“Liu Li, Vera, Qing Shuang—you will accompany me to confront the Demon God.”
“Snow Woman, I will provide you with all necessary support; your priority is to minimize our coalition's losses.”
“As for Lilith, the blood on this battlefield belongs to you! Ensure not a single Totem Level Nine escapes!”
Gu Xing’s strategy was carefully calculated.
At present, only Liu Li, Vera, and Qing Shuang held Divine Positions.
Only those who possessed Divine Positions could actually threaten the Demon God Abyss.
In contrast, Snow Woman and Lilith had different strengths.
One possessed unmatched restorative powers, while the other could grow stronger by absorbing the blood spilled on the field.
These two Guardian Beasts were perfectly suited for high-scale warfare.
Thus, Gu Xing chose to leave them behind to anchor the main battle.
Hearing these arrangements, Lilith raised her crimson eyes but remained silent.
Despite reaching Totem Level Nine,
and having her body undergo a mysterious mutation through the Blood Covenant,
she still lagged behind the half-origin talents of Guardian Beasts like Liu Li and Vera in terms of pure combat power.
Snow Woman offered no objections either.
Combat was never her specialty.
Joining the fight against the Demon God would only make her a liability to Gu Xing.
On this massive battlefield, however, her skills could be utilized to their full potential.
After finishing his orders, Gu Xing paused as if remembering something important.
He turned back to Lilith and added:
“Make sure to look after Ying Bing and the others for me!”
Though it was a personal request, Gu Xing felt it necessary to ask.
With only Monarch-level strength, Ying Bing and the rest were in extreme danger in a conflict of this magnitude.
He had previously warned them to stay away from the fight.
But his warnings had fallen on deaf ears.
“I will!”
Gu Xing nodded after Lilith gave her consent.
His preparations were now complete.
Turning toward Long Qingyan and Feng Ni, he spoke with gravity:
“Seniors, I am counting on your support!”
