My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel Chapter 487 - 488: Divine Sword
Previously on My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel...
"Buzz—!!!"
The minds of Gu Xing and Liu Li didn't just combine; they blended completely, becoming impossible to separate.
This was a level surpassing the Contract itself.
Between them emerged a profound connection that went beyond even the ties of life and death.
Within his mind, Gu Xing sensed every aspect of Liu Li.
He witnessed the fierce flame in Liu Li's core, still raging defiantly yet nearly swallowed by shadows.
He experienced the excruciating agony ripping through her soul, caused by igniting her Divine Position.
He also connected with her unyielding, utterly pure determination to locate her master, shield him, and refuse to yield.
Liu Li's mind mirrored this experience.
She grasped it all.
She comprehended the immense burden Gu Xing carried for Vera, Qing Shuang, and all those depending on him.
She also sensed the intense passion concealed far inside his spirit toward her.
A sudden quiver ran through Liu Li's consciousness.
This passion wasn't the duty of a Contracted Beast or the faith shared between a Guardian Beast and her Beast Master...
It represented something she hesitated to dwell on, much less acknowledge.
It was love!!
A form of affection that Gu Xing himself may not have fully recognized yet.
This passion burned hot, remained spotless, and plunged profoundly.
It held a gentle hint of tenderness as well.
Gu Xing had logically encased it in multiple layers.
It lay hidden beneath his intense drive for duty, protection, and growing more powerful.
However, during this instant of soul blending, it stood revealed plainly to Liu Li.
Liu Li's spirit was utterly flooded by this boundless, blazing passion.
So that's how it is...
Her master harbors these sentiments toward her.
It turns out her feelings weren't unreturned.
"Master..."
A quiet summons echoed in Liu Li's consciousness.
Every bit of suffering, every act of giving, every ounce of resolve.
In this instant, it all converted into raw Power.
Her desire extended beyond mere safeguarding.
She yearned to journey alongside Gu Xing.
To venture everywhere, confront whatever lies ahead, forevermore.
Two streams of matching blazing, profound, and carefully guarded affections up to this point.
Within the ultimate domain of soul union, they collided with thunderous force.
And then...
They fused flawlessly, vibrated in harmony, and elevated to new heights.
Right then, the limits of the Contract faded into irrelevance, while the lines between life and death grew hazy.
Speech proved unnecessary.
Their united mind held infinite expressions, conveying it all without sound.
As this passion surfaced...
An unimaginable shift occurred in the nature of their Power.
The radiant gold and white glow encircling them abruptly grew denser and more controlled.
The hue of that glow began shifting toward a more pristine form of chaos.
The shadowy Domain crafted by the Demon God Abyss, facing this elevated glow...
Started to hesitate, cower, and withdraw!
In that instant.
The shadows, akin to frost encountering a blazing sun, rapidly dissolved and pulled back!
Senses of sight, sound, and feel engulfed by shadows...
All lost sensations swiftly returned amid the expanding golden radiance!
The cloying, oppressive shadows.
Resembling a veil ripped open by some unseen colossal force, it fragmented and vanished!
Within mere moments.
The once-overwhelming, hopeless shadows.
Got entirely expelled by this radiance born from the combined Power of Gu Xing and Liu Li.
Replacing it stood a golden realm spanning more than a thousand meters across.
It wrapped around 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 disbelief... laced with a hint of alarm.
The shadowy void he considered an invincible Domain had devoured endless realms.
Now, it sizzled like frost hurled onto searing metal, releasing a chilling, soul-piercing wail.
The cozy, naturally abhorrent golden radiance to him.
Pushed forward aggressively, cleansing and supplanting his Domain from the inside without halt!
What stunned him further was the source fueling this might...
Not any deep Energy, but rather...
A type of emotional harmony he saw as trivial, weak, and pointless?
How could ties among tiny insects reshape Power?
How could they challenge the unyielding Domain forged by his Demon God essence and the full Demon Abyss realm?
Unthinkable!
Utterly laughable!
Yet...
It was unfolding for real!
"Mere ants, how could they be my match!!!"
The Demon God Abyss's will boiled within the surging shadows.
Rage and murderous urge flared once more.
Yet this round, it carried a subtle element even he failed to notice...
Fear!!!
Meanwhile, Long Qingyan floated at the boundary of the golden realm.
Her light golden dragon gaze nearly froze, fixated intensely on the zone overtaking the shadows and radiating soothing, grand light.
Including the pair at the zone's heart, separated in stance but with auras fully synchronized and flawless.
Chaos still gripped the Law inside her, the sharp torment unrelenting.
But now, that agony paled against the staggering astonishment from the sight unfolding.
That golden radiance... that Power...
Never before had she beheld such spotless, nearly chaotic embodiment of Power.
What moved her profoundly was the state of Gu Xing and Liu Li right now.
Their presences blended so thoroughly they became one, separate entities on the surface but a flawless unity beneath.
She detected that the golden realm's ability to so readily banish the Demon God's shadowy Domain...
Stemmed from a core Power she couldn't fathom.
"They..."
Long Qingyan's mouth parted faintly, but no sound came forth.
Meanwhile, Vera and Qing Shuang quietly positioned themselves within the warmer golden glow closer by.
Their gazes mirrored the duo at the core.
Each had pushed to their limits, striving to escape the shadows.
However...
None achieved that peak harmony with Gu Xing.
From the beginning, both realized...
They could never rival Liu Li's unique spot in Gu Xing's heart.
Even with full awareness of this truth.
A faint, inevitable jealousy stirred deep within their cores.
Right then.
Gu Xing gradually rotated his head, glancing at Liu Li next to him.
Her eyes distinctly captured Gu Xing's form in that moment.
No exchange of words was required; their spirits linked seamlessly.
Gu Xing extended his arm, softly grasping Liu Li's chill-touched hand.
As their fingers met, their blended souls and Divine Power vibrated once more.
Golden radiance erupted from their joined hands, amassing, stretching, solidifying.
A mighty blade, forged from the Divine Power streaming from their Divine Positions, appeared gripped in their hold.
Its slim blade shimmered with an essence of boundless chaos.
At the grip, their forces wove together, mirroring their souls' firm bond at this juncture.
Instantly upon its creation, a formless force rippled across the area.
The bellowing shadows paused briefly.
Gu Xing and Liu Li positioned themselves shoulder to shoulder, sharing the blade's weight.
Their stares fixed upon the spot harboring the Demon God Abyss's most intense shadowy will.
