Chapter 289 Are you... ready?
Alberto rushed into the council chamber with a bead of sweat on his forehead.
This cardinal, who was known for his composure in the Church of Holy Light, even lost his breathing rhythm at this moment.
"Your Excellency, we have just received news—"
He took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound less panicked.
"Li Jun's private plane has landed at KND International Airport."
Uriel turned around, a cold smile playing on his lips.
"I already knew that."
"There's nothing to be surprised about."
"But----"
Alberto swallowed hard, his voice becoming even more urgent.
"After getting off the plane, Li Jun went straight to the Rocky Mountains!"
"What?!"
Uriel's eyes narrowed, and the temperature in the entire council chamber seemed to drop several degrees.
It was originally thought that after arriving in the New World, Li Jun would at least rest for a day or two to understand the situation before making any plans.
After all, ninety-three nature spirits gather deep within the Rocky Mountains, and anyone facing such a lineup would act with caution.
But that mortal, upon disembarking from the plane—
For a moment, Uriel stood still, his golden eyes flashing with an uncertain light.
Alberto carefully observed the angel's expression, not daring to even breathe loudly.
"What a fine Mr. Li!"
After a long silence, Uriel finally spoke.
His voice remained calm, but Alberto could hear a hint of unease hidden beneath that calm.
"I underestimated him."
Uriel walked to the window and looked in the direction of the Rocky Mountains.
Logically speaking, the combined power of ninety-three nature spirits should be enough to change the current state of the world. Whether it is Heaven, Olympus, or other pantheons, they would all find this power extremely troublesome.
But for some reason, Uriel felt a vague unease in his heart at this moment.
That mortal was so composed.
From slaying the Cherry Blossom Gods, to planting the sword atop Mount Olympus, and now heading directly to the Rocky Mountains—
Every step was taken with unwavering determination.
It was as if everything was under his control.
"The personnel from each pantheon haven't arrived yet—"
Uriel muttered, a hint of annoyance in his voice.
To prevent Li Jun from discovering anything amiss beforehand, the personnel from the various pantheons have not yet arrived in the New World.
Their original plan was to secretly gather after Li Jun arrived in the New World, and then take advantage of his battle with the Nature Spirits to surround and kill him.
But now, Li Jun went straight there to kill them.
Next, once Li Jun starts a war with the natural spirits, given their strength, they may not be able to hold out until the gods arrive!
"Your Excellency, what should we do now?"
At this moment, Alberto asked cautiously.
Uriel did not answer.
He stood by the window, his fingers unconsciously tapping the windowsill, making a rhythmic sound.
One, two, three —
"It's too late!"
"I must personally make a trip to the Rocky Mountains."
Uriel stopped, a resolute glint in his golden eyes.
Alberto was taken aback by what he heard.
"Your Excellency, sir, you—"
Uriel offered no explanation, but simply ordered, "Immediately contact all the major pantheons and order their forces to descend to the mortal realm as quickly as possible, then proceed to the Rocky Mountains."
"I will first try to calm down those natural spirits and buy them as much time as possible."
"Once the forces from the various pantheons arrive, Li Jun won't be able to escape even if he had wings!"
Alberto opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end he just nodded emphatically.
"yes!"
"Be careful, Your Excellency."
Uriel waved his hand and turned to walk away.
His steps were quick, but each step was steady and powerful.
In just a few breaths, they disappeared at the entrance of the council hall.
Alberto stood there, watching the departing figure, a sense of unease rising within him.
Lord Uriel put it lightly—delaying time.
But He had to face Li Jun, who had annihilated 100,000 gods.
Even if He is a six-winged angel, even if He possesses the authority of "divine light"—
But can you really buy time in the face of something like that?
Deep in the Rocky Mountains.
In the nameless valley, ninety-three natural spirits floated in mid-air, maintaining a subtle distance from each other.
At this moment, the energy fluctuations emanating from the far reaches of the Rocky Mountains were growing closer and clearer.
Every nature spirit could sense that the terrifying aura was approaching the Rocky Mountains at a steady pace.
That speed, for beings like them, didn't seem like they were traveling.
It's more like a stroll!
"He—he's deliberately slowing down?"
The three-tailed fox's voice was filled with disbelief.
"Is he... giving us time?"
Upon hearing this, all the natural spirits looked even more grim.
Intentionally slow down.
Give them time.
Is this applying pressure remotely?
No.
This is confidence.
It is absolute self-confidence.
"Arrogant!"
The giant crocodile let out a low roar, but the sound contained more fear than anger.
"What gives him the right to be so arrogant?!"
No one answered it.
Because all the spirits of nature know the answer.
He single-handedly annihilated 100,000 cherry blossom spirits.
He single-handedly shattered the four islands of cherry blossoms.
He planted his sword on the summit of Mount Olympus.
He is currently the most terrifying being in this world.
"Don't panic, everyone!"
The white wolf finally spoke, its voice still calm, but a tremor, imperceptible even to itself, flashed in its icy blue eyes.
"Haven't we gathered here for this moment?"
"With us working together, even that Taoist priest Li wouldn't dare to underestimate us."
"What we need to do now is let him know that we are not to be trifled with."
"We have a chance as long as he's willing to sit down and talk."
The white wolf's words eased the fear of all the natural spirits present somewhat.
Yes.
Ninety-three natural spirits.
This power is enough to make any being wary.
Even that Taoist priest Li could not ignore their demands.
At that moment, just as all the natural spirits were comforting themselves, a golden light flew in from afar.
The light was incredibly fast, reaching the sky above the valley in the blink of an eye.
Amidst the light, a blond man stood in mid-air, dressed in a pure white holy robe, with six pairs of pure white wings faintly visible on his back.
It was Uriel.
In the valley, all the natural spirits tensed up at the same time, watching the uninvited guest warily.
The giant emerald green snake flicked its tongue, its vertical pupils filled with apprehension.
"Angel?"
"What are you doing here?"
Uriel stood in mid-air, looking down at the various natural spirits below, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"I have a piece of advice for you."
His voice, calm and serene, echoed through the empty valley.
"Li Jun of the Great Xia Dynasty is on his way."
"Are you all ready?"
