Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Flying high in the sky, Tyrael saw a scene of devastation. Traces of war were everywhere on the two continents of Sanctuary. Countless villages had been burned down, cities were on fire, and fresh corpses were everywhere in the wilderness and the suburbs.

And the culprit behind all of this wasn’t demons but angels…

The High Heavens had almost replicated the original attack trajectory of Malthael. Their first attack was on Westmarch, this unlucky city that had just been destroyed by Malthael’s Reapers. It had only been rebuilt a few years ago, but it was destroyed by angels again.

It was no wonder that the refugees of Westmarch were so agitated after seeing Tyrael. The residents of Westmarch were more afraid of angels than demons.

On the western continent, the angel army attacked Tristam from Westmarch. On the eastern continent, Caldeum and the Kehjistan empire had fallen one after another. The massive number of refugees could only take the risk of venturing into the Dreadlands and the Dry Steppes. These two places were near the northernmost part of the land. But after arriving here, the refugees still felt that it was not safe, so they tried their best to cross the Frozen Sea and go to Xiansai. The mysterious and isolated Xiansai had now become the only hope for the refugees, but there were very few lucky ones who could reach Xiansai in the end.

How did this happen? How did this happen?

They were flying in the sky and attacking any human they could see on the ground. As long as there were more than a certain number of humans gathered together, angels would kill them.

Similarly, these angels would also be counterattacked by nephalem. But angels who could fly had a natural advantage. Moreover, compared to the militarized organization of the High Heavens, the nephalem lacked a unified operation command. They only formed sporadic teams and fought against angel armies all over the world. Therefore, even though some of the elite nephalem warriors were very powerful, they could only achieve some victories.

Of course, the angel army likely only had the advantage in the early stages of the war. The nephalem were becoming stronger and stronger. Now that they had lost the restraint of the Worldstone, it was not impossible for another fierce person like Uldyssian to appear. At that time, the situation might be reversed…

The angel soldiers naturally saw Tyrael flying in the air. They surrounded him and said in surprise, “Your… Your Excellency Tyrael?! Aren’t you missing?”

“Soldiers!” Tyrael didn’t have time to explain. He grabbed one of the angel sergeants and asked, “Who ordered you to attack Sanctuary?!”

“Uh, it’s Lord Imperius’s order!” The angel was a little confused, but he still replied.

“Damn it. How dare he?!” Tyrael was furious. He pushed the angel sergeant away and said, “Gather your warriors and withdraw immediately! The invasion of Sanctuary will make the mortals completely stand against us! Do you understand?!”

“Sorry, Lord Tyrael!” The angel returned to his senses and said awkwardly, “Pardon me for not obeying your order. The decision to fight was personally ordered by Lord Imperius. You might not know, but during your disappearance, mortals have repeatedly desecrated the dignity of the High

Heavens…”

“Damn it… I have to rush back to the High Heavens as soon as possible!” Hearing this, Tyrael knew that it was impossible for this sergeant to listen to his orders. After all, Imperius was the leader of the High Heavens, and it was impossible for the angel soldiers to disobey his orders.

Therefore, Tyrael left these angel soldiers, tore open space, and entered the Purgatory Space where the High Heavens were.

The Silver City, this was the name of the city where the angels lived. It was a unique small world. All the buildings in the city had glittering, soaring spires, and buttresses sprawled all over the entire city. All the buildings were flowing with radiant luminescence.

The entire city was a harmonious whole. Every Archangel of the Angiris

Council had their own living area in the city. The place where the Archangel of Valor, Imperius, lived was known as the ‘Halls of Valor’, where he made tactical arrangements and trained other angels. The halls echoed with majestic battle songs praising his illustrious achievements.

The place where the Archangel of Hope, Auriel, lived was known as the Gardens of Hope. It was in a quiet corner of the Silver City, and angels went there to seek clarity and peace in their souls. The heavenly sounds of the choir echoed in the Gardens of Hope all the time, causing the spirits of the angels to be in harmony and unity.

The residence of the Archangel of Fate, Itherael, was the Library of Fate. As an Archangel with the title of ‘fate’, Itherael’s duty was to be in charge of reading the mysterious and obscure fates displayed in the crystals in the library. The crystals in the Library of Fate were said to be fragments from the Crystal Arch, which was thought to be Anu’s spine. So the angels believed that these crystal fragments also carried Anu’s power.

The original Angel of Wisdom, Malthael, lived in a place known as the Pools of

Wisdom. The water in the pool came from a divine artifact known as the Chalad’ar, the Chalice of Wisdom. It was said that the water flowing out of these pools were infinitely deep wells of emotion. They were the sum of all the emotions experienced by all sentient beings in the universe at this moment.

Before Malthael fell, he often stared at the pools alone…

Finally, there were the Courts of Justice, the residence of Tyrael, the Archangel of Justice. It looked like a huge auditorium where angels gathered.

The residences of the five Archangels formed the core area of the Silver City. In the center of this core area stood the Crystal Arch. It was an incomparably tall and towering dome of light and the place where the souls of all angels returned. Thus, it was the core of the entire High Heavens.

The outermost area of the Silver City was surrounded by city walls, and only one set of gates allowed entry into the city. These gates were the Diamond Gates, and they were the most solid fortress. For millions of years, the armies of Hell had fought their way into the High Heavens several times, but it had never been able to break through the Diamond Gates, let alone enter the interior of the Silver City.

However, the last time Diablo gathered the power of the seven demon kings and returned, he finally broke through the Diamond Gates. At the time, Diablo had even invaded to the Crystal Arch deep in the core. But when he wanted to corrupt the Crystal Arch, he ultimately failed.

After this battle, the Silver City gradually eliminated the corrosion and pollution left by the demons and repaired the Diamond Gates. The current High Heavens was no different from before.

When Tyrael returned to the High Heavens, he directly appeared in his residence, the Courts of Justice. As soon as he walked out, he saw a large number of angel troops moving back and forth in the entire Silver City. It was a busy and tense scene. It seemed that under Imperius’s orders, the High

Heavens had entered a state of war.

But this time, their opponents were not an army of Hell but the humans of Sanctuary…

Tyrael hurriedly went to the Halls of Valor. He barged into the halls and immediately saw Imperius, who was making strategic adjustments.

“Imperius!!!” Tyrael shouted excitedly. “Why did you order to attack the humans?!”

“Tyrael?!” Imperius was a little surprised to see him, but then he reacted and snorted coldly. “Tyrael, where have you been during this time?! Why didn’t you return to the High Heavens to report?”

Hearing Imperius’s words, Tyrael calmed down a little. He remembered that he had been trapped for so long, and there had been no news of him in the High Heavens for a long time, so he told Imperius what had happened.

“You’re saying that Demon King Osiris actually created a soulstone with the same function as the Black Soulstone to imprison angel souls?” Imperius was very surprised. In his impression, although demons were cunning, shameless, and lied one after another, most of the time, they relied on their armies to crush others. He had never heard of a demon king who was proficient in alchemy…

“Yes. When I escaped, I brought back this soulstone!” Tyrael showed Roy’s Light Soulstone to Imperius and then said anxiously, “Listen to me, my brother! We should immediately gather all the angel troops and stop attacking Sanctuary. Your order to attack Sanctuary is a mistake! You have destroyed all the trust the nephalem had in us!”

“How dare you!” Imperius shouted angrily. “Tyrael, how dare you criticize me as soon as you return? I don’t blame you for your soul being imprisoned by a demon. But you don’t even understand the causes and effects of this matter, and you’re talking nonsense to me?! Do you know what those mortals did to the holy light faith?!”

Finally, Imperius emphasized again, “I am the leader of the High Heavens. All our decisions are for the dignity of the High Heavens. You have no right to criticize me!”

“But what if all of this is a scheme of the demons?!” Tyrael argued. “Haven’t you thought about what if Demon King Osiris is behind all of this?”

“So what?” Imperius snorted coldly. “I’ve said before that the nature of these nephalem with demon bloodlines is like this. They’re capricious, and it’s reasonable for them to be bewitched by demons. Don’t you have the same worry? Now that they’ve desecrated the holy light, betrayed the faith, and confirmed their fall, isn’t what we need to do to correct them?”

“But even if it’s correcting them, there’s no need to fight like this! Killing will only bring hatred and push them further away!” Tyrael retorted.

“Ha!” Imperius laughed angrily and asked, “Then, what do you want me to do? Persuade the mortals nicely? Even though they’ve torn down churches and killed angels, do we have to pretend that nothing has happened?”

“This…” Tyrael was speechless for a moment. To be honest, although he felt that it was wrong for Imperius to attack Sanctuary, he hadn’t thought it through clearly and come up with a solution in this situation.

“Step down, Tyrael!” Seeing Tyrael’s weak performance, Imperius felt a burst of joy in his heart. “You have to be punished for your mistakes. This is a matter of course, and what I did was to let these mortals realize their mistakes… You don’t have to say anything else. If you have the time, why don’t you tell me all the information about Demon King Osiris…”

Before Imperius could finish speaking, the Light Soulstone that Tyrael took out suddenly trembled slightly!

“What’s going on?” Imperius was puzzled.

Tyrael sighed. “That’s what I wanted to say. Our true enemy now isn’t the nephalem but demons! This Light Soulstone has a spacetime beacon set by Demon King Osiris. The moment I entered the High Heavens, he easily grasped its location. Soon, he will open a portal through this soulstone and lead a demon army into the High Heavens…”

“Tyrael, you!! Imperius gritted his teeth in anger and wanted to punch Tyrael hard. But looking at Tyrael’s grief- stricken face, he finally held it in and resentfully relaxed his fist. He shouted at Tyrael, “What are you doing?! Do you want the demon’s portal to open directly inside the Silver City? Now, either you find a way to destroy this soulstone or throw it out of Silver City so that we can at least rely on the Diamond Gates to stop the invasion of the demon army! Do you understand?!”

“I’ll go now!” Tyrael knew that it was urgent, so he immediately took the soulstone, spread his wings, and flew up.

Seeing Tyrael’s figure disappear, Imperius stood in the Halls of Valor and clenched and unclenched his fists several times. In the end, he could only sigh deeply.

I’m so tired…

I can’t take it. I can’t take these brothers anymore… It was like this with Malthael, and now it’s the same with Tyrael. Why do they all have their ovvn thoughts? Is it so difficult to communicate with each other?

After standing quietly for a while, Imperius raised his head and shouted, “Quickly inform Auriel and Itherael! Summon all the angel troops in Sanctuary! Close the Diamond Gates and activate the city’s protective barrier! Prepare to defend against the attack of the demon army!”
