The metallic puppets trembled in unison, and strange mechanical noises echoed across the sky.
CLANK… CREAK… WHRRRR…
Gears rotated inside their bodies while plates shifted and locked into place. Their chests opened one after another, revealing rotating cores glowing with blue and crimson energy. Long mechanical barrels extended outward, and countless missile chambers unfolded like blooming iron flowers.
Then—
Thousands of missiles launched at once.
Flames burst from their backs as the projectiles screamed through the sky toward the descending Angels. Trails of fire crossed the heavens, turning the battlefield into a burning web of destruction.
BOOOOOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Explosions swallowed entire sections of the sky. Angel formations shattered as shockwaves rolled endlessly. Light barriers broke apart while fragments of divine wings scattered like falling feathers.
The heavens shook violently.
Kael watched the chaos unfold and threw his head back, laughing wildly.
