The Undead Empire That Travels Through the Multiverse

What do angels look like?

In the impression of orthodox believers in European and American countries, angels should be fat children without clothes, with a halo on their head, a pair of flapping white wings behind them, and some small musical instruments in their hands.

This is a very classic post-Renaissance angel image, reflected in many paintings and sculptures.

On this basis, human-shaped angel images have also become popular, most of which are images of white robes, haloes, and wings, and this has become the most intuitive impression of angels for most people.

But in fact, angels don't look like this.

There is this description in Chapter 6 of the Book of Isaiah in the Old Testament: “In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne high and high, and His garments hung down and covered the temple. There were seraphim standing on it, each with six wings, covering his face with two wings, covering his feet with two wings, and flying with two wings."

Seraphim are the so-called Seraphim, the highest-ranking angel.

There is a similar description even in the New Testament: "Each of the four living creatures had six wings, and their bodies were covered with eyes both inside and outside. They kept saying Holy, Holy, Holy day and night."

In short, the image of Seraphim in the Bible is that of a person whose body is burning with fire, has six pairs of wings, and is covered with eyes. Two wings cover his face, two wings cover his feet, and two wings are used to cover his face. Lai Fei kept saying "Holy, Holy, Holy" all day long.

As for the images of angels in Ezekiel in the Old Testament, they are even more bizarre: "They were like men, each with four faces and four wings. Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like calves' hooves, and they were as bright as light. copper."

"Under the four wings were human hands. The faces and wings of these four living creatures were like this. Their wings were connected to each other, and they walked without turning around. Each of them walked straight forward."

"As for the faces, each one had a human face in front, a lion's face on each right side, an ox's face on each left side, and an eagle's face behind each. Each had its upper two wings spread out and connected, and each had its lower two wings. The wings cover the body.”

"It was like the shape of burning coals, and like the shape of torches. The fire went up and down among the four living creatures, and the fire had brightness, and out of the fire came lightnings."

"Beside each face of the living creature, there was a wheel on the ground. The shape and color of the wheel were like beryl. The four wheels were all of the same pattern, and their shape and shape were like a wheel within a wheel."

"As for the rims, they are tall and formidable. The four rims are surrounded by eyes."

It is conceivable that if you look at angels from today's perspective, what kind of twisted and weird thing they are.

And now, summoned by the church, what appears over the city of Rome is a cherubim that looks like four wheels superimposed on top of each other and is full of eyes.

Outside the city of Rome, watching the wheel-shaped cherubim descending with flames and lightning, Littorio's face became a little unsightly, and he asked a silver-faced lich next to him: "Do you have any way to deal with it?" This angel?"

It's not that Littorio is afraid of angels or God, it's just that she has never faced an enemy like this before, and she doesn't know what kind of ability and power the enemy has, so she feels a little unsure.

"It's just a Cherubim. Your Majesty has already prepared for this." The silver-faced lich was already prepared for this. While nodding, he also ordered to the other lichs standing behind him: "Prepare the summoning spell." Array, summon the Death Weapon Divine Guard."

The lichs of the mage group took the order and left, and the space warriors on the other side immediately expressed their readiness for battle.

For these Space Marine veterans, coming to this world is like coming to a garden world in the Warhammer universe.

Everything here is so beautiful, especially hearing from Chen Mo that this is ancient Terra in another world, which makes the loyal warrior have a different kind of affection for this planet.

Of course, this good impression will not affect their behavior, it just makes them cherish this planet more.

And when they received the order to go into battle, these Space Marines, in addition to being full of fighting enthusiasm, also had a sense of honor and sanctity of fighting in ancient Terra.

They all regard this battle as a battle of honor, even if they are facing only ordinary mortals, who are too weak compared to the enemies they have faced before.

But when the angel who looked like a wheel with eyes appeared, these Space Marines were furious.

"How blasphemous is that! Your Majesty, such an evil thing is actually called an angel?!" The battle team sent by the Dark Angels has a priest. Although the Space Marine's priest is not a priest of the Imperial Church, But he also had absolute loyalty and belief in the Emperor, and was undoubtedly full of anger and hostility towards the completely non-human "monster" in front of him.

Even the Chaplain, who should remain rational and calm among the Chapter, is full of anger and wants to purify the "evil". It is completely understandable what the attitude of other Space Marines is.

Especially the Space Marines of the Blood Angels. They are too sensitive to the word angel. When they heard that the angels in religious mythology looked like their own original bodies, they almost fell into black rage. I want to purify the image of all winged people on this planet.

But at this time, the church did not know that Chen Mo had already prepared the means to deal with the angels, and was currently carrying out the ritual of summoning the angels to come very enthusiastically.

Although the highest-ranking Seraphim was not summoned, a Cherubeus, who is also one of the upper-third-level angels, is considered by the church to be enough to solve the situation facing the church.

Compared with the previous generation of popes who were unwilling to use these holy relics to restore the prestige of the church, this generation of popes is quite disapproving.

In his opinion, these holy relics should be used to contribute to the cause of the church instead of sitting in the holy treasury and gathering ashes.

Of course, he was also opposed to using holy objects against the army, because it was meaningless.

But now the cardinals of the church have been insulted and the face of the church has been trampled on. At this time, summoning an angel to come can not only perform miracles, but also punish heretics, remind the world of the greatness of the church again, and reduce the declining influence of the church. Be maintained and improved.

This is something that can serve multiple purposes and can also solve the current dilemma the church is facing.

Therefore, when the current pope instructed one of his confidants to make this suggestion, he quickly obtained the consent of all the cardinals, opened the holy treasury, took out the deepest holy relics, and held a ceremony to summon the angel to descend. .

When the Cherubim truly arrives, a selected devout nun will be offered on the altar. She will become a sacrifice and will also become a carrier for angels to walk in the world.

As the huge body of the Cherubim merged into the nun's body, a pair of white wings spread out behind her, and the sacred brilliance flowed through her body.

Seeing this sacred scene, all the clergy and believers shouted wildly: "Holy! Holy! Holy!"
