My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 472 - 473: I Am Only Friends with You!
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
Within the Human Race territory of the Alternate Space.
Gu Xing inhaled the local air deeply as he returned once more to this familiar world.
It might have been a psychological trick of the mind, but he felt the atmosphere of the Alternate Space and Blue Star was far more to his liking.
Gu Xing extended his arms slowly, appearing as though he were embracing the entire world.
When he finally opened his eyes, they were filled with a clear and unwavering determination.
Back in the Angel Realm, Liu Li had successfully seized control of the Divine Position of the Angel Realm.
This achievement had also elevated Gu Xing and every one of his Guardian Beast totems to Totem Tier Three.
Now, with Gu Xing providing his full support, Liu Li might not completely eclipse the Demon God...
However, the gap between them would not be large!
Even more vital was the current situation.
At this moment, only a single Demon God exists within the Alternate Space.
But as time marches on, it is certain that more Demon Gods will descend upon this world.
Because of this.
Instead of waiting like a sitting duck for a Demon God invasion, it is far better to strike first.
The first step: slay this Demon God!
Nevertheless, a plan of this magnitude required meticulous preparation to be implemented.
Just then, Long Zhenguo led a group of people forward to welcome him back.
Long Zhenguo let out a long sigh of relief upon seeing that Gu Xing was unharmed.
Gu Xing’s status was no longer just that of a pillar for the Human Race.
He had become the pillar for the entire Alternate Space.
“How did it go? Was the mission successful this time?” Long Zhenguo inquired with a touch of anxiety.
Gu Xing gave a brief summary regarding the state of the Ghost Realm and the Angel Realm.
Then, his expression turned grave as he addressed the gathered crowd:
“I have resolved to move against the Demon Realm. While there is only one Demon God in the Alternate Space, we shall wipe him out!”
A sudden, heavy silence followed Gu Xing’s declaration.
The onlookers stared at Gu Xing, their faces masked in disbelief.
Had they misheard him?
Eliminate a Demon God?
Yet, studying Gu Xing’s features, they realized he wasn't joking in the slightest.
“I intend to persuade Long Qingyan and Feng Ni to join our forces. With the three of us working together, we will strive to execute Yuan.”
“The Demon Realm houses not just Yuan, but a literal legion of demons.”
“When the time comes, your task will be to keep those demons at bay!”
Long Zhenguo lifted his head slowly, meeting Gu Xing’s intensely serious gaze.
Subconsciously, he began to weigh the feasibility of such a bold strategy.
Currently, the Human Race is backed by several major races.
The Ghost Race, Blood Race, Angel Race, and the Dragon Race...
The Dragon Race is capable of providing high-end combat power at the Totem Level.
As for the mid and low-tier forces...
The combined strength of these allied races was not inferior to the Demon Race at all.
As these thoughts settled, a glint of resolve flickered in Long Zhenguo’s eyes.
This was actually possible!
However...
The most vital component to making this plan a reality was...
Whether Gu Xing and his two companions could actually succeed in killing the Demon God!
Consequently, Long Zhenguo’s face became incredibly solemn.
He looked directly at Gu Xing and asked with total sincerity:
“Are you confident?”
“Five percent!”
Long Zhenguo sucked in a sharp breath upon hearing Gu Xing’s reply.
A five percent chance was not low at all!
If they continued to hesitate and wait for more Demon Gods to arrive in the Alternate Space.
Then the predicament the Human Race would face...
A moment of absolute clarity struck Long Zhenguo.
“If that is the case, then we shall do as you say! I will lead every race of the Alternate Space toward the Demon Realm...”
“To declare war!”
....
Once the objective was set.
The Human Race began to function like a high-precision machine.
Tushan Yueli acted as the heart of this entire operation.
She managed the power balance of every race with cold rationality.
The Qingqiu Race, Dragon Race, Ghost Race, Blood Race....
And it wasn't just the dominant powers!
Even...
Small clans like the Cat Race and the Magma Clan.
Tushan Yueli assigned specific duties to each of them.
If the original chance of holding back the Demon Race to buy time for Gu Xing was only 60%...
Then, under Tushan Yueli’s management.
That probability was boosted to a staggering 90%.
While the other races were occupied with preparations.
Gu Xing sought out Long Qingyan and Feng Ni.
“Two seniors, I wish to invite you to assist me in slaying the Demon God!”
Both women were stunned by Gu Xing’s invitation.
After a long pause, Feng Ni spoke with a heavy tone.
“Gu Xing, are you aware...”
“In the past, the Dragon Emperor assembled the pseudo-god level experts of the entire Alternate Space to attempt to kill a Demon God, yet they failed!”
“Do you truly believe we have a chance to kill a Demon God with just the three of us?”
Gu Xing didn't offer a direct answer; instead, he shifted his gaze toward Long Qingyan.
“Senior Long Qingyan, what is your opinion?”
“What?”
Long Qingyan slowly regained her focus after hearing Gu Xing call her name.
Recently, her memories had almost completely returned.
Because of this, she struggled with how to interact with Gu Xing—this truly exceptional human!
Consequently, she would often drift into her past whenever she saw him.
She snapped out of her daze at Gu Xing’s prompting.
Gu Xing didn't seem to mind her momentary distraction...
Instead, he repeated his request with solemn emphasis:
“Senior Long Qingyan, I am inviting you to join me in taking down the Demon God!”
She was briefly stunned as she processed his words.
Fighting the Demon God?
A spark of pure hatred ignited in her eyes.
Dragon Island had been laid to waste, and her father had died at the Demon God's hands.
Every bit of that debt had to be settled with Yuan.
Thus, after only a moment's hesitation, Long Qingyan gave her consent.
With her agreement secured.
Gu Xing turned his attention back to Feng Ni.
“Senior Feng Ni, I cannot say for certain if we can kill the Demon God.”
“But I know that if I don't try, the Human Race will live under a permanent shadow of death.”
“You have no kin, so I am not sure if you can empathize with my feelings.”
“However, I will have no complaints regardless of what you choose.”
“My debt of gratitude to you was settled the moment you chose to protect the Human Race.”
“Therefore, I have no right to force you to risk your life against the Demon God with me.”
“This is, after all, a battle where death is likely!”
“I only hope that the Human Race can maintain a lasting bond of friendship with you.”
“If our mission fails, I ask that you protect the common people of humanity.”
After speaking, Gu Xing gave Feng Ni a deep, incredibly sincere bow.
It was a gesture that came straight from his heart!
Feng Ni was momentary taken aback by his words.
Gu Xing was correct.
She was a Celestial and Earthly Spirit Beast of the Alternate Space.
She was born to be alone.
She couldn't grasp why Gu Xing would put everything on the line for his race.
Consider this.
With Gu Xing’s raw talent.
Even if the Demon God were to conquer everything...
He could easily ensure his own survival.
Yet he chose to walk a path that put his life at risk.
Such logic was beyond Feng Ni's understanding.
However, one specific phrase resonated with her.
Feng Ni looked into Gu Xing’s eyes and spoke with deliberate clarity:
“I have no friendship with the Human Race; I only have a friendship with you!”
As the most powerful Fierce Beast in the Alternate Space!
She possessed her own immense pride.
Her willingness to guard the Human Race was solely for Gu Xing’s sake.
Making friends with the entire Human Race?
She had no interest in such tedious things!
“Therefore, as your friend, I will help you this time!”
