My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 487 - 488: Divine Sword
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
"Buzz—!!!"
The merging of their consciousnesses went far beyond a mere blend; it united them completely, making separation impossible.
This formed a realm that surpassed the Contract itself.
Between them emerged a profound connection that defied even the limits of life and death.
Within his mind, Gu Xing fully sensed the essence of Liu Li.
He witnessed the fierce flame in Liu Li’s heart, stubbornly enduring as it nearly drowned in shadows.
He experienced the agonizing torment ripping through her soul from igniting her Divine Position.
And he felt her unwavering, utterly pure devotion to locating her master, shielding him, and refusing to yield.
Liu Li’s awareness mirrored this completely.
She grasped every detail.
She comprehended the immense burdens Gu Xing carried for Vera, Qing Shuang, and all those depending on him.
And she sensed the intense passion concealed at the depths of his soul toward her.
Suddenly, Liu Li’s consciousness quivered.
That passion wasn’t the duty of a Contracted Beast, nor the faith shared between a Guardian Beast and her Beast Master...
It was an emotion she hesitated to dwell on, much less acknowledge.
It was love!!
A form of affection that Gu Xing himself might not yet fully comprehend.
This feeling burned hot, remained untainted, and delved profoundly.
It also held a gentle hint of tenderness.
Gu Xing had logically shrouded it in multiple layers.
It lay hidden beneath his fixations on duty, protection, and relentless growth in strength.
But in this instant of soul union, it stood revealed plainly before Liu Li.
Liu Li’s heart surged entirely under this boundless, blazing passion.
So that’s how it is...
Her master harbored such sentiments for her.
It wasn’t just her own unreturned affection, after all.
"Master..."
A quiet invocation echoed in Liu Li’s consciousness.
Every agony, every offering, every bit of resolve.
In this very moment, they transformed into raw strength.
She yearned not only to safeguard him.
But to journey alongside Gu Xing.
Through any path, confronting whatever destiny awaited, forevermore.
Two streams of matching intense, profound, and carefully guarded affections up to now.
Within the ultimate domain of soul union, they collided with thunderous force.
And then...
They blended flawlessly, vibrated in harmony, and elevated to new heights.
In that instant, the restrictions of the Contract faded into irrelevance, while the divides of life and death grew hazy.
No utterances were required.
Their combined awareness held infinite expressions, conveying it all without sound.
As this passion surfaced...
An unimaginable shift occurred in the very nature of their Power.
The radiant gold and white glow encircling them abruptly grew denser, more controlled.
The hue of the radiance began shifting toward a more pristine form of chaos.
The shadowy Domain crafted by the Demon God Abyss, facing this elevated radiance...
Started to falter, cower, and withdraw!
Right then.
The shadows, akin to frost encountering a blazing sun, rapidly dissolved and pulled back!
Senses of sight, sound, and feel swallowed by the gloom...
All lost sensations swiftly returned amid the expanding golden brilliance!
The cloying, oppressive murk.
As if ripped open by some unseen colossal force, it fragmented and vanished!
Within mere breaths.
The once-overwhelming, hopeless blackness.
Got utterly expelled by this radiance born from the combined Power of Gu Xing and Liu Li.
In its stead appeared a golden domain spanning over a thousand meters wide.
It shielded Gu Xing, Liu Li, and nearby Vera, Qing Shuang, Long Qingyan, and Feng Ni.
"No... impossible!!!"
For the first time, the Demon God Abyss’s will unleashed a roar of denial... laced with faint alarm.
The abyssal void he considered an invincible Domain had devoured endless realms.
Now, it sizzled like metal plunged into searing heat, letting out a chilling wail.
The comforting yet innately hostile golden radiance to him.
Pushed forward relentlessly, cleansing and overtaking his Domain from the inside out!
What stunned him even more was the source fueling this surge...
Not some arcane Energy, but...
A type of emotional harmony he dismissed as trivial, weak, and pointless?
How could the tie between insignificant insects elevate Power?
How could it challenge the unassailable Domain forged by his Demon God essence and the full might of the Demon Abyss realm?
Unthinkable!
Utterly laughable!
And yet...
It unfolded right before him!
"Mere ants, how could they rival me!!!"
The Demon God Abyss’s will boiled within the surging shadows.
Fury and murderous urge reignited.
But now, woven in was a subtle thread of fear he himself failed to notice...
Dread!!!
Meanwhile, Long Qingyan lingered at the boundary of the golden domain.
Her pale golden dragon gaze nearly froze, fixated intently on the zone supplanting the shadows with its warm, sovereign glow.
Together with the pair at the heart of it, positioned separately yet radiating a flawlessly integrated presence.
Chaos still gripped the Law inside her, the sharp agony unrelenting.
Yet now, that suffering paled against the staggering awe from the sight unfolding.
That golden radiance... that Power...
Never before had she beheld such unadulterated, nearly chaotic Power in action.
What moved her most profoundly was the current bond between Gu Xing and Liu Li.
Their presences intertwined beyond distinction, separate entities that formed an ideal unity on a profound level.
She realized the golden domain repelled the Demon God’s dark Domain so effortlessly...
Because at its heart lay a Power she couldn’t fathom.
"They..."
Long Qingyan’s lips parted faintly, but no sound came forth.
Vera and Qing Shuang, meanwhile, stood quietly within the nearer glow of the gold.
Their gazes mirrored the duo at the core.
Each had pushed to their limits, striving to escape the shadows.
However...
Neither attained that pinnacle of harmony with Gu Xing.
From the beginning, both recognized...
They could never match Liu Li’s unique spot in Gu Xing’s heart.
Even with full awareness of this truth.
A flicker of jealousy stirred uncontrollably in their depths.
Right then.
Gu Xing gradually turned his head, gazing at Liu Li next to him.
In her eyes, his form appeared vividly at that instant.
Words proved unnecessary; their spirits linked seamlessly.
Gu Xing extended his hand, softly grasping Liu Li’s somewhat chilled fingers.
The moment their tips met, their united souls and Divine Power thrummed once more.
Golden brilliance erupted from their joined grip, swirling, stretching, solidifying.
A mighty blade, forged from the Divine Power streaming from their Divine Positions, took shape in their hold.
Its slim form shimmered with an essence of formless chaos.
At the pommel, their Powers wove together, echoing their souls’ tight bond in this moment.
As the blade materialized, an unseen force rippled across the area.
Even the howling darkness paused briefly.
Gu Xing and Liu Li positioned themselves shoulder to shoulder, sharing the blade’s weight.
Their sights fixed on the spot where the Demon God Abyss’s deepest malice gathered.
