SWISH!
Suddenly, another dark figure descended from the sun hanging in the sky.
"Forward, without hesitation!"
An orange‑glowing figure flew down. Unlike Tyrael, who attacked the moment he arrived, this one hovered motionless in mid‑air.
He was clad head‑to‑toe in radiant orange armor, held a long spear in his hand, and behind him, his wings resembled five blades of folded light!
"Imperius — Archangel of Valor!"
Imperius plunged downward from the heavens, his feet slamming violently into the ground with such force that the earth beneath him shattered completely, accompanied by an earth‑shaking boom.
BOOM!
At the island's edge, the ocean itself trembled. Massive waves rose up and crashed down, slamming one of the warships hard against the shore and nearly capsizing it.
It was almost impossible to believe that an angel barely three meters tall could unleash such immense power.
These two new arrivals were not as physically large as the two‑winged angels summoned earlier, yet anyone with eyes could tell that these two were on a completely higher level than the ten‑meter giants from before.
Whether it was their armor, their speed, or the overwhelming power they exuded, they were in a league of their own.
"Steady! Stay steady!" Kong roared, struggling to keep his balance amid the chopping seas. "Half the men — prepare for battle! Helmsmen, stabilize the ships!"
He then frowned deeply and muttered to himself, "Just what kind of technique is this…?"
Back on the battlefield, more and more angels were pouring out from the "sun" created by Grimm.
> [Call of the High Heavens Lv. 1]
> (Max Level: Lv. 3. Can be upgraded by collecting Revival Tokens. Requirement: 2,000,000 Tokens to reach Lv. 2; 5,000,000 Tokens to reach Lv. 3)
This ability was an unexpected reward Grimm gained after assaulting the World Government, where Kel'Thuzad had slain two powerful Celestial Dragons.
Simply put, this power was terrifyingly strong — yet it also carried immense risks.
Ability Description:
Summon angels of the High Heavens from Diablo III to fight for the host. Can summon the five Archangels of the Angiris Council plus angelic soldiers and warriors.
(At Lv. 1: Can summon Imperius and Tyrael)
The total number of angelic warriors summoned equals the total number of Revival Tokens possessed.
Note: Revival Tokens cannot be used while this ability is active, unless the host voluntarily cancels [Call of the High Heavens].
Essentially, this skill allowed Grimm alone to transform into an entire army of terrifying strength.
However, the drawback was obvious: during the summoning, if he were killed, he would simply have to respawn at a graveyard — and the summoned angels would dissolve, turning back into Revival Tokens.
But even with that flaw, it had to be said — this ability was monstrously powerful!
With over 60,000 Revival Tokens stored up, Grimm could instantly summon more than sixty thousand angels at once!
Although these lesser angels were roughly equivalent to fighters with a bounty of around 500,000, their sheer numbers were overwhelming… and to make matters worse, they could fly.
"What… in the world… are these things?!"
Shrieks of pure terror rose from the Marines as they saw such a vast host descend all at once.
One trembling soldier barely managed to gasp out the word "Angels…" before his head was separated from his shoulders.
His entire body was engulfed in holy radiance, incinerated until nothing remained but ash.
Just as the Marines were being overwhelmed and swallowed up by the sheer numerical advantage of the angelic legions, Imperius lunged toward the front lines using "Heavenly Charge", his spear aimed straight at the soldiers.
Suddenly, Garp appeared. With a single heavy punch, he sent Imperius flying backward, halting his advance dead in its tracks!
"WHAT ARE YOU SCARED OF?! THEY'RE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF WINGED BIRDMEN!!"
Garp's thunderous shout shook the terrified soldiers to their cores — it was like being slapped awake in the middle of a doze.
"Mortal…"
Imperius somersaulted in the air and charged once more. "I shall show you… the true power of the High Heavens!"
Facing the razor‑sharp tip of the spear, Garp's fists finally turned pitch black, coated in Armament Haki.
He caught the spearhead in one hand, grabbed the armor plating on Imperius's chest with the other, and with a roar, exerted all his strength!
"AAAHHH!!"
Garp roared and hurled Imperius straight through the air. Imperius struggled to steady himself, realizing instantly that this seemingly ordinary old man possessed strength that defied belief!
"Are you… a Nephalem?!" Imperius cried out in shock — before crashing completely through an entire mountain peak!
Monster! Garp was absolutely an old monster!
"Like I said… nothing but a bunch of winged birdmen!" Garp waved his hand, signaling a full assault.
"AAAAHHHH!"
"GET THEM!"
"MR. GARP SAID THEY'RE JUST WINGED BIRDMEN — LET'S GO!!"
The Marines roared back and rejoined the fray.
It had to be admitted: the elite Headquarters Marines were highly trained and capable fighters.
At the very least, in one‑on‑one combat, the lesser angels were simply no match for them.
Kizaru used "Soru" to teleport onto an iceberg. Perched atop a jagged outcrop, he tilted his head and gazed down toward the distance, where Grimm stood surrounded by his angelic host.
"Hmmm~ If I take out the commander, I suppose the morale of all these folks will drop drastically… though I'm not entirely sure they even have morale to begin with!"
He vanished instantly, leaping high above the flying army of angels. He crossed his hands together.
"Yata‑no‑Kagami: Eight‑Foot Curved Jewel!"
Countless particles of light rained down from above. But the instant they were fired, several streaks of silver light sliced through them as effortlessly as a knife cutting fruit.
Every beam was shattered into dust and knocked off course — not a single shot hit its target.
Kizaru: Why even bother… I called it "Edge‑Glancing Shot" for a reason…
SWISH!
Kizaru knew he wasn't as skilled in advanced Haki usage as the other two Logia‑users, Kuzan or that "Truck Driver" (Kaido), or even Issho… but hey — my Devil Fruit ability is seriously overpowered, and I've mastered it perfectly!
In the split second after the last silver streak flashed past, Kizaru spun around quickly to look behind him.
Standing directly above him was the teleporting angel — Tyrael.
His face was entirely shadowed and featureless, yet he was clearly looking straight down at Kizaru!
"Truly terrifying power and speed… Tell me, are you a Devil Fruit user?" Kizaru asked, sounding completely unbothered.
"Devil Fruit user? I am Tyrael — the Angel of Justice."
With that, Tyrael swung his sword straight down.
CLANG!
Metal rang against metal. At the very last second, Kizaru materialized the Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven, catching Tyrael's blade perfectly.
"You know… getting hit by that might actually be fatal~"
Kuzan leaped high into the air, hands shaped like blades. Two massive birds of ice erupted from his palms and rushed forward.
"Ice Ice Bird: Double Strike!"
Tyrael glanced back over his shoulder. Extending his left hand, he grabbed one ice bird by the neck and hurled it backward with immense force.
It collided head‑on with the second bird, shattering both completely into icy dust!
