I! Cleaner!-Chapter 1098 - 1013: Old Affairs of Heaven and the Resurrected Demon God

They've actually started fighting...

Watching the purple-winged angels, corrupted to a deep violet and plunging into the abyss one after another, the Capricorn board member mixed in among them couldn't help but look up at the sky, wishing he could smack himself in the face twice.

I must have been out of my mind back then to think about teaching Aquarius the Abnormal Purification Secret Technique of the Capricorn Palace... Although Aquarius didn't quite grasp how to purify angels, the "angels" he purified have already almost "purified" the entire Heavenly Mountain.

"Lord Capricorn..."

Watching the angels with purple wings jumping into the abyss like dumplings, several equally purple-skinned Zodiac Bureau directors exchanged glances, and then, with expressions difficult to maintain, asked:

"What should we do? Should we run?"

"Run? Where to?"

Hearing the question from the Zodiac Bureau directors, the Capricorn board member turned to look at the surging purple-skinned angels behind him, his face full of worry twitching hard twice, and then he said speechlessly:

"We've been made the pope's guards because of our especially devout kowtowing, and because we carry something called 'the Lord's aura,' directly pushed into the middle of the Holy War army.

Any move would be noticed here, and no matter where we go, there are at least ten thousand angels blocking the way, so where are you planning to escape to?"

"..."

"Don't even think about it, just follow them down!"

Surrounded by a group of purple-skinned angels, after shuffling forward a long way, the Capricorn board member couldn't help but close his eyes, looking at the giant opening leading directly to the Abyss Hundred Prisons below:

"I could catch a high-ranking angel, purify myself temporarily, and then force my way out of the Heavenly Mountain, but you don't have my skills, and once you use your abilities and change your appearance, you'll be immediately recognized and thrown into the Pool of Resurrection.

Compared to that outcome, we might as well follow them into the abyss, at least we won't have to fight these brain-addled angels to the death... Especially since we've managed to blend in as the pope's guards, under normal circumstances we don't have to fight, following them into the abyss might actually be safer than fleeing directly."

"..."

That makes sense...

Unable to come up with any other solution, the Zodiac Bureau directors, after a brief discussion, finally had no choice but to follow the Capricorn board member's demands, straightening their spines and spreading their wings, posing with a spirited look, loyally guarding by the "pope's" side.

However, looking at the abyss opening, like a giant black eyeball, in the very center of the Pool of Resurrection, understanding the abyss's power, the Zodiac Bureau directors felt uneasy and couldn't help but continue asking:

"Lord Capricorn, you're the most familiar with the situation in Heavenly Mountain here, do you think this so-called 'holy war' of the angels can succeed?"

"Bound to lose."

Named as captain of the guards, the Capricorn board member, while alertly performing his duty, quietly smirked and "leaked" his response from his mouth.

"Since the bureau started recording it, the angels on Heavenly Mountain haven't been a match for the Abyss demons, almost always being the invaded side.

Ordinary angels and demons have comparable power, but angels are slightly outnumbered by demons, with a ratio of about six to seven. In terms of top-tier fighters, Heavenly Mountain has no advantage either.

Heavenly Mountain's nine angels are similar in strength to the seven Original Sin Demon Gods of the Abyss Hundred Prisons, but the problem is the Abyss Hundred Prisons also has a Great Demon God of Sin, mastering seven original sins. It's on par with the Supreme Four Pillar Gods, or even slightly stronger, capable of matching three Original Sin Demon Gods on its own.

The bottom is six to seven, the top is nine to ten, so in both the quantity of ordinary angels and the quality of top-tier fighters, Heavenly Mountain loses to the Abyss Hundred Prisons, hence why they've been getting beaten up from the past to the present without really winning."

So that's how it is...

The Zodiac Bureau directors, who didn't know much about Heavenly Mountain, which wasn't very prominent in the fourteen realms, nodded repeatedly after listening to the Capricorn board member's explanation, then asked somewhat puzzled:

"Since there's always been a gap in strength and there's a deep-seated hatred between each other, why hasn't Heavenly Mountain been completely wiped out by the demons of the Abyss Hundred Prisons after all these years?"

"That's a long story."

Faced with the Zodiac Bureau directors' questions, the usually talkative Capricorn board member was, of course, quite willing to answer, explaining cheerfully through the "private channel" built with spirits by the group:

"Firstly, although there is a gap in strength between Heavenly Mountain and the Abyss Hundred Prisons, it's not that extensive, so maintaining a standoff is barely achievable, at least enough to hold off an invasion of Heavenly Mountain.

Secondly, the opponents are demons after all; you can't expect demons to cooperate. Given their average morality, even if they refrain from stabbing each other in the back, that's considered saintly behavior amongst them.

On the other hand, the angels, despite their internal conflicts, can unite when it comes to fighting demons. With this dynamic, both sides are barely evenly matched; though Heavenly Mountain may take a beating without hitting back, they haven't suffered huge losses...

Well... at least not until now."

Looking down at the Pool of Resurrection, thoroughly polluted by the pus of evil and now dull and muddy, the Capricorn board member sighed and said:
