Chapter 89
—
“Is the Goddess really going to appear?”
“I’m not sure. I’ve heard that an Archangel is the one who will appear…”
“Anyway, a showdown between the Goddess and the Demon King. I’m so lucky to witness this.”
“But what if something happens? If those two fight, won’t the continent be destroyed?”
“The Demon King-sama said it would be safe, so would it really be dangerous?”
The murmuring audience seats.
A shocking event of a confrontation between the Celestials and the Demons.
Those who had beaten the high competition rate to attend were all excitedly waiting for the start.
“Will this be okay?”
“Being able to face the Goddess is rather a blessing.”
In the VIP seats, the Tower Masters, the Pope, and the royalty were all present.
For the Pope, this was the first time witnessing the existence of the Goddess.
It was a monumental event for the religious community as well.
“Is JeBbit not coming?”
“Can you shut up, brother?”
Rikal also waited nervously for the start of the match.
This event was extremely significant for the future direction of the continent.
While the true purpose of the showdown between the Demons and the Celestials wasn’t fully revealed,
it was clear that the result would bring about major changes.
“Now, the showdown between the Celestials and the Demons, the Demons and the Celestials, will begiiiiiiiiin-!”
With Rai’s declaration, the cheers erupted.
Rai then began introducing the representatives of the Demons and the Celestials.
“First, the Demon team. The Demon King-sama’s squad is everywhere! Representing the Demons are five members, including the Demon King-sama.”
“Demon King-sama! Please look this way just once!”
“Omos-sama, you’re so cool!!”
“Lesha-sama’s stockings are amazing!!”
The Demon representatives were already familiar to the inhabitants of the Middle World.
Thanks to their participation in several international tournaments and personal broadcasts, they had amassed many fans.
“And now, opposing them, are the representatives of the Celestials!”
The representatives of the Celestials began entering from the opposite side.
“Uh, uh…!”
“My, my eyes…”
“Is that the Goddess? Her light is so blinding that I can’t see anything!”
They entered, radiating a divine light so intense that it blinded onlookers.
Unlike the Demons, the Archangels spread their pure white feathered wings wide, with halos, symbols of saints, shining brightly above their heads.
“Ah… Ahhh…!”
The divine power they emitted was several times stronger than what people had indirectly experienced before.
The worshippers of the Goddess naturally bowed their heads.
They began to revere the holy beings.
“The light is too bright, I can’t see anything! Is there any way to fix this?”
Rai, standing on the stage, spoke with his eyes tightly shut.
The light from the divine power was so intense that it was like standing before the sun, making it impossible to see ahead.
“Our apologies, we were careless. We’ll adjust it.”
The Archangels adjusted their divine power.
Thanks to the now softer glow of the divine power, people could finally observe them with their own eyes.
“This is a historic moment. It’s the first time that those from the Celestial Realm have directly revealed themselves. Could you please introduce yourselves?”
The five Archangels began introducing themselves in turn.
At the same time, the reality of the Goddess and the Celestial Realm became clear.
The descending Goddess was revealed to be Michael.
The Archangels, protectors of the Celestial Realm, had come to capture the Demon King-sama, who was corrupting the Middle World with evil.
“Ohh…! It’s true! Then the Archangels…”
“So the Celestial Realm’s lore is this vast. This is going to be so entertaining.”
“Ahhh…! Gabriel-sama is so beautiful…”
The worshippers of the Goddess were even more ecstatic over the expanded lore.
After all, it was unchanged that they were the ones protecting the Middle World.
The audience, divided between the Demon King-sama’s squad and the worshippers of the Goddess, began to cheer enthusiastically.
“Now, let’s begin the first set of the Celestial-Demon War, begiiiiiiiiiiiin!”
-Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh-!
Amid the passionate cheers, the first set began.
However, there wasn’t much expectation for the match itself.
Because when it came to gaming, everyone knew how poorly the Celestials performed.
“The game will obviously be won by the Demons.”
“No matter what, the Celestials are just too bad at games.”
The initial unease about the clash of beings from different dimensions was short-lived.
Soon, people were engrossed in analyzing the capabilities of both sides.
“…Hm?”
Among them, Denian, sitting in the VIP seats, tilted his head.
It was the moment he looked at the Celestials’ nicknames.
“What’s the matter, sir?”
Galliard, seated next to him, asked.
Denian checked the Celestials’ nicknames again before speaking.
“<The Cruel Judge of Fire>. That’s definitely the user I met in ranked yesterday.”
“…What? Then their tier is…”
“Yes, Challenger. And I’ve also seen nicknames like <The Sacred Light’s Guide> and <That Spirit’s Presence> before.”
The Archangels’ tiers were different from what was expected.
Most of them were Challenger tier. Among them, the mid-laner <The Cruel Judge of Fire>, Uriel, was particularly well-known for his skill.
“I thought the Celestials weren’t good at games?”
“Of course, the Celestials wouldn’t be good at games. But that doesn’t mean they’re weak. Former hero Galliard.”
“Hm?”
A voice came from behind Galliard.
It was the 7th Legion Commander of the Demon King’s army.
He was famous for his excellent skills in auto chess.
“If the Celestials were weak, they wouldn’t have become our rivals. When they put their minds to it, their power is formidable. Especially Archangel Uriel—unlike the typical Celestial, he has a belligerent nature. He probably led their training.”
As he said, the Celestials had been improving their COL skills under Uriel’s leadership.
Rather than focusing on sportsmanship and honor, as they used to, Uriel had emphasized the importance of winning.
However, in terms of sheer physical prowess, the Demons still outshone the Celestials.
Thus, the Archangels’ strategy lay in achieving victory through proper operations and tactics.
On the other hand, the Demons were renowned for their ability to overwhelm with superior physical abilities.
“This is going to be an interesting match.”
“But if that’s the case, does it mean that the Celestials are on par with the Demons?”
Denian asked the 7th Legion Commander.
Galliard looked puzzled at Denian, who was asking a question unrelated to COL.
“Indeed. For us, it’s amusing that humans worship them.”
“In that case, wouldn’t it be possible for Sir Galliard here to kill the celestials, just as he once repelled the Demon King’s army in the past?”
“Well, if it’s the former hero Galliard, he could handle a few archangels. The difference between beings of the Celestial and Demon realms and those of the Middle World is that the former are born with their powers, while the latter claw their way up to obtain them.”
“Why are you asking this all of a sudden, sir? There won’t be any more wars, so what’s the point?”
“Oh, I was just curious. Of course, war must not happen. It’s just that this idea contradicts all the religious knowledge we’ve had so far.”
Denian smiled awkwardly.
And so, the first match began in earnest.
“Oh? The Celestials’ skill is no joke!”
“Exactly. They’re holding their ground against Omos in the mid lane…!”
It didn’t take long after the game started for the audience to be stunned.
The skill of the archangels was remarkable.
In particular, <The Ruthless Judge of Fire>, Uriel, was evenly matched with Omos in the mid lane.
“Ohhh, the archangel Uriel! He’s not losing the lane against Omos, the Demon Realm’s second-in-command!”
Omos, who in the past had scored a solo kill even against his peers, was now being held at bay. This alone demonstrated the strength of the Celestial Realm.
“Could all those claims about Celestials being bad at games have been false all along?”
“Aaaahhhh! Bottom lane! The Celestials take down the bot duo of Lesha and Tesha!”
In the bottom lane, even the succubus sisters, Lesha and Tesha, fell.
Michael and Sariel showcased flawless synergy, even managing to take down the Demon team’s jungler who arrived late to help.
The first blood taken by the Celestials was enough to upset the morale of the Demon team.
They had assumed an easy victory.
Far from being incompetent, the Celestials were proving to be on par with the Demons.
(Global Chat) Demon King Sama (Aatrox): Aaaahhhh! Stop running and fight me head-on!
In contrast, the Celestials played with far more precision than the Demons.
The Demon King Sama, renowned for his exceptional skills, was forced into cautious play.
Gabriel, playing in the top lane against the Demon King Sama, opted for a defensive tank champion and prioritized a stable approach.
The Celestial team’s strategy revolved around holding the line defensively while focusing on growth in other lanes.
“Demon King Sama! He’s let another chance slip by! This puts even their jungle pathing at a disadvantage.”
While the Demons aimed to dominate early with physical prowess, the Celestials relied on trust and a calculated approach to victory.
They played for the long game, focusing on the ultimate objective—destroying the enemy’s Nexus.
Their playstyle was fundamentally different.
The Celestials made steady, calculated progress toward victory.
Even if there were no immediate rewards, their noble goal of defeating the Demons kept them motivated.
Without relying on fleeting instincts, the Celestials methodically built their lead, eventually securing a win in the first game.
“An upset has occurred! Like a steady drizzle soaking clothes, the Celestial team snowballed their way to victory!”
-Whoooaaahhhh!!!-
The worshippers of the Goddess cheered wildly.
The archangels smiled and waved toward them.
“T-this can’t be happening…”
“Graaaaaagh! Impossible!”
In contrast, the Demon team and the Demon King Sama’s faction were steeped in despair.
A loss they had never anticipated left them in agony.
Of course, some of it could be attributed to their overconfidence.
But their opponents were far from weaklings who could be easily defeated.
The live broadcast on “Tworch” was flooded with rapid-fire comments, most of them expressing shock at the Celestial team’s unexpectedly high skill level.
“You wicked Demon King. Things won’t go as you plan.”
“Grrrr…! We’re not wicked! If anything, you voyeuristic angels are the depraved ones!”
“Let’s see how long you can keep saying that, Demon King.”
The Celestials mocked the defeated Demons, who had collapsed in despair.
