Prime Originator

"Hm?"

Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis in the area quickly glanced at the partially-scorched plants along the scar line before their eyes widened with astonishment.

"W-what is happening to these plants?" one of the Paragon-level Golden Suannis uttered with shock.

At that moment, the partially-scorched plants were proliferating rapidly in bizarre ways that shouldn't have been possible or normal for the plants of their kind.

The green vines grew thorns. And from those thorns, more thorns grew. They coiled up into thorn bushes.

On the other hand, the transformation of the jungle trees was even more exaggerated.

The tips of the branches rapidly grew in spherical shapes while the leaves wrapped around them like a layer of skin.

The final results were numerous heads with sharp thorny teeth. The branch tips of the jungle trees had all turned into man-eating plants.

The power of Wrath contained within Cruel Angels' sunbeams had made the plants lively and aggressive.

Coupled with the toughness and tenacity that the jungle plants already possessed, the man-eating plants' threat level was comparable to Rank 2 Transcendent-level beasts.

Some even had the toughness of Rank 3 Transcendent-level beasts!

Snap!

The man-eating plants snapped at the nearby Paragon-level Golden Suannis with their thorny teeth forcefully and frantically but failed to reach them.

Even so, it caused Dawnchaser and the other Paragon-level Golden Suannis frown deeply.

"The Central Western Jungle has become too dangerous of a battlefield with those monsters around. We need to evacuate our clan members further away from here while Lord Goldenstride and Supreme Leader Cindertail are keeping those monsters busy," Dawnchaser stated firmly.

"Goldblazer, Nickelback, and Firestar, each of you should lead a group to the south, west, and north and guide the scattered clan members to the east. Let us all meet further in the east."

"Understood," Goldblazer and the other two Peak Paragon-level Golden Suannis nodded.

Shortly after, they grabbed several dozen Paragon-level Golden Suannis and headed off to bring the scattered clan members away from the outskirts of Gran Crevasse.

…

At the same time, Leon also returned to his group's side and ordered, "Go back and bring your family far away from here. Follow the rest of the Golden Suanni Clan. None of you will be able to contribute in this level of battle."

"Master, I want to stay," Rainshine stated determinedly.

Leon glanced at the Mid Paragon-level Winter Cat and said, "I'm telling you all to leave for your own safety. If you insist on staying, I won't stop you. However, you only have yourself to blame if you get caught in the Cruel Angels' attacks."

"Un, I am aware of that. Thank you for your concern, Master," Rainshine stated.

At the same time, Firepaw and another Mid Paragon-level Golden Suanni from the group also decided to stay back while the rest led their families to safety.

Leon gradually focused on the ten Cruel Angels, which posed great threats to everyone.

The Whitebone Fiends didn't just amalgamate into existences comparable to Half-step Celestials; they were also Half-step Celestial existences that could control the Wrath and Solar Laws to some degree.

That made their threat level even higher than normal Half-step Celestials.

'The Cruel Angels are targeting Cindertail because of his divine golden flames. That means the Cruel Angels fear it. They aren't invincible,' Leon mused.

Although the Whitebone Fiends had become very strong by amalgamating to become the final ten Cruel Angels, it wasn't done without a price.

As Leon observed the Cruel Angels, he noticed that they were very slow.

Even though the Cruel Angels were stronger than the Paragon-level Golden Suannis, their sunbeam attacks couldn't keep up with their movements.

Furthermore, the Cruel Angels were keeping their distance and only attacked from the sky.

Leon found that strange.

Nevertheless, Gran Crevasse was losing most of its ground. Leon couldn't keep analyzing the Cruel Angels.

Once Gran Crevasse loses all of its open ground for Cindertail to run on, it will be more difficult for Cindertail to dodge the Cruel Angels' deadly sunbeam attacks.

"Master, please do something!" Cindertail's plea was heard as he continued to evade the Cruel Angels' delayed sunbeam attacks on the ground level.

Leon furrowed his brows as he was bothered by the light shining on the abyss from which the monsters came.

"Just hold on for a bit longer, Cindertail," Leon hollered back.

Shortly after, Leon rose into the sky and flew past the Cruel Angels. And despite that happening, the Cruel Angels completely ignored him and focused on Cindertail and Goldenstride.

Nevertheless, Leon ascended into the clouds and used his Divine Will to pull the clouds together again in an attempt to close the big hole in the black clouds.

At the same time, an even more tremendous amount of Wrathful Demon Energy poured down on him.

Wrathful Demon Energy never stopped gushing down from outside the black clouds.

All the Wrathful Demon Energy in the Dark Abyss Continent was trying to enter the Dark Abyss Continent through this single opening in the black clouds as if they were being pulled like a vacuum.

As Leon closed the hole in the sky, he also absorbed all the Wrathful Demon Energy into his Black Vortex Space for refinement without reservation.

However, that action of his finally drew the Cruel Angels' attention.

Skreee!

The Cruel Angels howled with a piercing yet ringing frequency as they directed their fingers at Leon. They were enraged by Leon stealing the source of their power.

Nevertheless, Leon felt like another existence locked onto his presence.

No, it was more precise to say that the ten Cruel Angels were controlled by a single will. And it was that will that locked onto him.

Strangely, Leon almost instinctively knew who that will belonged to.

'This is… Empyrean Allheaven Wrath's will…?' Leon thought with surprise.

'To think the Cruel Angels had absorbed Wrathful Demon Energy to the point that the accumulated slivers of will contained within the Wrathful Demon Energy took control of the Cruel Angels…'

It was quite close to Empyrean Allheaven Wrath's incarnation manifesting in the Cruel Angels.
