They were extremely cautious at first, so cautious that the fairy barrier was almost up before they got within five meters of the "angel".
Even at such close range, the "angel" still did not react much.
A dark angelic halo floated above its head, and its wings drooped behind it. It seemed like a ghost, floating in the air without its feet touching the ground, aimlessly wandering around that corner.
Its head was lowered, so its face was not visible, but one could imagine that it must have been a lifeless face.
The "Fairy Barrier" had unknowingly disappeared while it was observing the "angel".
"Fairy Beast" has also regressed back to "Cute Beast".
But the "angel," who should have been able to sense the presence here, still did not react.
As Dak continued to observe the "angel," he suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.
But he couldn't describe it, nor could he immediately pinpoint the source of that unease.
They were getting closer and closer to the "angel".
Eventually, they even came into direct contact with it.
The "angel" showed no reaction whatsoever, continuing to wander aimlessly with its head down.
What happened to turn an 'angel' into this state?
Dark said in a low voice, and the others were also deeply shocked by the abnormality of the "angel".
"Boom-"
Suddenly a bell rang, and the "angel" seemed to be struck in the soul, its entire body suddenly stopping, finally showing some reaction.
But its reaction was limited to simply spreading its wings and slowly drifting towards the direction from which the bells were coming.
Dark and the others exchanged glances, and then Lucia added a barrier to the carriage to shield their presence and silence them. They then followed the "angel" and slowly tracked after it.
They had assumed that more "angels" would gather from all directions because of the sound of the bell.
However, all we saw from beginning to end was that "angel." It was as if it were the only one left alone.

Judging from its aura, that "angel" should be associated with light, belonging to the most common and ordinary type of "light angel".
But this does not mean that their power is inferior to other kinds of (angels).
In fact, the "Angels of Light" have always been the main force of the Angel Legion, and they are among the strongest in terms of pure power.
Moreover, the "Angel of Light" possesses healing abilities surpassing those of other angels, and is virtually flawless in all aspects of her abilities, making her an all-rounder.
What Dark desires most are the angel feathers and other materials from the "Light Angel".
However, given the current situation, he still needed this "angel of light" to guide him, so he didn't make a move.
"Boom-"
The bell has already rung ten times, at a regular interval of three minutes. One more time, and it will be a full thirty minutes!
This also means that Dark and the others tracked the "Angel of Light" for a full thirty minutes!
This has nothing to do with distance; it's simply because that "Angel of Light" moves too slowly!
Although it was affected by the bell and stopped wandering aimlessly in place, it remained decadent overall, lacking any of the positive image that a "Light Angel" should convey.
Its slow, tortoise-like movement made Dak and the others following behind it wish they could have a carriage for it too!
But after moving slowly for thirty minutes, the "Angel of Light" finally entered a very special area.
Dark and the others followed the "angel of light" across the boundary of that area—as if they had passed through a transparent bubble and entered a completely different world.
The buildings that were originally in sight disappeared in an instant, and a brand new building complex appeared in front of everyone.
Even "Fantasy Beasts: Goddess of the Mind" couldn't foresee this change beforehand!
Dark has essentially ranked "Magical Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" in terms of power, placing it second only to the gods.
If something appears that even "Magic Beast: Goddess of the Mind's Eye" cannot see through, it can be said to be related to the gods!
Therefore, this "boundary" separating the inside from the outside must have been drawn by the gods through their authority.
After the carriage crossed the boundary line, Dak immediately signaled "Fairy Tale Animal? Little Rabbit" to stop.
They stopped tracking the "Light Angel" Gli—there was absolutely no need to continue!
Because in this area, there is a very, very conspicuous building! It is a building that, although located underground, still has an extremely tall spire—a church that shouldn't exist in this place!
What is a church?
A church is a place established by the church to spread its faith. But in this "heavenly court," the gods of various divine kingdoms possess temples that can completely replace the status of churches.
People pray in the temple, asking the gods for blessings or forgiveness.
There is absolutely no need for churches!
"Perhaps it's just another building that looks like a church," Aurora tried to help Dark expand his thinking.
Dark shook his head slightly and said, "Regardless, that should be where the 'angels' gather. Once we enter, many of the questions that have accumulated over time will be answered."
But Aurora looked over there with a furrowed brow and said, "But I have a very bad feeling about this."
“How could it possibly get better?” Lucia complained. “Who knows how many angels are hiding inside that church? The holy aura emanating from it is manifesting strange phenomena on the church. My advice is to think twice.”
The light emanating from the church unfolded in the air into a pair of sacred, pure white angel wings, enveloping the entire church in an extremely rich aura of light.
Since entering the "Heavenly Court," Dak has finally discovered a place completely free of pollutants.
This area is like a paradise completely isolated from the outside world.
There are no pollutants here, no broken walls or ruins, and no people or beasts fighting and killing each other.
Time here seems to have stopped in the past, before Ragnarok. Everything is so peaceful, so serene.
But ever since entering this place, Dak's sense of unease has grown stronger, like a lump of phlegm stuck in his throat that he can't cough up no matter how hard he tries.
As he gazed at the enormous church nestled in the center, surrounded by other buildings, his sense of urgency deepened.
But he did not act on his feelings.
Watching the "angel of light" drift unsteadily toward the church door.
Dark whispered, "Are the cooldowns for 'Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction' and 'Lost Prophecy' ready yet?"
"Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction" nodded and said, "Is it still Ori?" Dark gave an affirmative answer.
But just as "Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction" closed its eyes, the eleventh bell suddenly rang.
"Boom-"
The instant the bells rang, Dark suddenly looked up at the "angel of light"—it was still slowly floating forward, just a short distance from entering the church.
However, that short stretch of road determined life and death! Eleven bells rang out, with a total interval of thirty minutes.
If this "angel of light" that appeared outside for some unknown reason had consciously sped up, it should have already entered the church.
But it didn't accelerate; in fact, it showed signs of slowing down.
That feeling is similar to the description of "water angels," a sense of rejection that seems to be rooted in one's bones!
It was that sense of rejection that slowed it down, slower and slower. And then, its life ended before it even stepped through the church doors!
The appearance of that aura was extremely abrupt.
Although Dark had a premonition, he was still surprised at that moment.
A powerful aura of divinity suddenly emanated from the void above the "Angel of Light's" head.
Then the void cracked open, and a giant hand suddenly emerged from it—without questioning or judging—the giant hand fell instantly, its momentum seemingly capable of shattering the earth.
But in the end, it only landed on the head of the "Angel of Light" and, with an irresistible and ferocious force, instantly turned the dejected "Angel of Light" into a meat patty!
Amidst the terrifying sound of crashing to the ground, Dark and the others' faces instantly paled.
If even angels are powerless against that giant hand...
So how should they, who are even less than "angels," conduct themselves?
The giant hand did not immediately retract into the crack after smashing the "angel of light" flat.
It paused for a moment, then suddenly grabbed the meat patty that the "Light Angel's" body had turned into and casually threw it into a trash can.
Then, the giant hand finally retracted into the void.
The aura and pressure it brought with it disappeared as soon as it left.
Soft breathing sounds could be heard around Dak.
"What is that?" Lucia Artemis swallowed hard and asked cautiously.
"I don't know. It could be the work of a god, or it could be a special protective mechanism," Dark said cautiously.
“The arrival of that giant hand was clearly punishment for that ‘angel,’” Angry said. “But the ‘angel’s’ evil wasn’t fully revealed, which is why we emotionally sympathize with it.”
Dark said, "But what was the evil of that 'angel' that prevented it from entering the church within thirty minutes?"
After a brief silence, Angry said, "I think it's possible." The "Gitomon" beside him crossed its arms and said, "The 'angels' here are clearly subject to some strict regulations. That 'Angel of Light' somehow broke free and escaped from this area. But judging from its appearance, it doesn't seem to possess any conscious awareness or know what it's doing. The bells that appeared from the void are tools that can infuse consciousness into the 'angels' minds and summon them. If the summoning fails—meaning it didn't enter the church—it signifies that 'angel's' complete disqualification. The giant hand descending from the sky is highly likely part of this mechanism."
Dark nodded and said, "The possibility is very high. Has the result of the prophecy for 'Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction' been released yet?"
The "Lost Prophecy" in "Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction" was not interrupted by the appearance of that giant hand.
Even with greater interference, because the lost item was right in front of them, "Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction" for the first time predicted a specific time and place in the "Lost Prophecy"!
When Dak looked at her, its face was tense, and its eyes showed an extremely difficult expression.
Seeing its expression, Dark felt a sudden tremor in his heart and asked, his voice slightly shaking, "Where is Ollie?"
"Fantasy Beasts: God of Destruction" said, forcing a smile, "It's inside that church, in five minutes!"
"Five minutes later..."
Dark's gaze was fixed on the church that radiated a holy aura.
The description of "five minutes later" does not mean that Ollie will enter the church in five minutes.
This only means that she will be in the church at the point "five minutes later".
Before that, her exact location could not be determined.
They might not have even entered the church yet, or they might already be inside. But neither of these scenarios is what Dark wants to see.
Based on the principle of "seeking advantage and avoiding harm," the possibility of Ollie entering that church on her own will is almost zero.
Even though they had already entered this special area, they were still undecided and had not yet decided to go to the church to investigate.
But now that the results of the "Lost Prophecy" have been revealed, there is no option not to go.
The current problem is how to do it and who should do it.
The main problem for the former is whether to continue riding the "Lunar Chariot".
The main problem with the latter is the selection of the dispatch team.
On this point, Dak did not shirk his responsibility and was prepared to go alone.
But both Aurora and Angeli expressed strong opposition.
Afterwards, Zenny Burns, who had just recovered somewhat, finally came out of the carriage.
During this time, she had gotten to know Dak and the others and had a thorough understanding of the current situation.
Zenny Burns is a grassland spirit, but she is very introverted and doesn't like to talk.
But at this moment, she stepped forward and said, "Let's go together. I have a magic card that can make the carriage's aura blend completely into the environment for a short time, so that even 'angels' will have difficulty detecting it."
After a brief moment's hesitation, Dak agreed.
So Zenny Burns activated the magic card, and the incantation released from it was imprinted on the four walls of the carriage.
The concealment barrier originally set up by Lucia Artemis was instantly strengthened, and its ability to shield aura even surpassed that of the Fairy Beast's Fairy Barrier.
Dark felt a little more at ease and asked, "How long can it last?"
Zenny Burns said, "A quarter of an hour. But I have a lower-level alternative that I can use later, though it won't be as effective."
"Fifteen minutes should be enough." Dak waved his hand sharply. "Let's go!"
Under the influence of Zenny Burns's magic card, "Lunar Chariot" infiltrated the church without revealing any trace of its presence—there were no guards in the church, not even any guardian statues. The statues scattered throughout the church were exquisite, but they were all ordinary statues that could not be moved.
