Chapter 473 Cause and Effect

　　He had just found a clue, and it would still take some time for him to find a way to crack it. But in the end, Dante and the others appeared at this moment. And as soon as they appeared, they appeared in Aesir City inside the barrier.

　　Now that Roy could not break through the barrier, it was naturally impossible to give them any support. This meant that Dante and the other two would have to face countless high-level angel enemies…

　　In fact, not only was Roy stunned, but Dante and the others who appeared in Aesir City were stunned as well!

　　After seeing Rodin, they had traveled with Bayonetta to the city of Vigrid. After entering Vigrid, Balder had immediately discovered their traces. The influence of the Ithavoll Group he founded was unparalleled in this city. So not only were the four of them attacked by angels, but they were also obstructed by humans. Under Balder\'s orders, the security forces of the Ithavoll Group attacked the four of them with all kinds of heavy firepower.

　　Dante and the others broke through the layers of obstructions and eliminated all the obstacles. Finally, they entered the headquarters of the Ithavoll Group, the Idavoll Building. Here, they finally saw the mastermind, Balder.

　　After seeing him, they discovered that Bayonetta was right. He had really deceived Mundus. When the four of them saw Balder, he had already purified Mundus\'s soul and extracted the solidified Ouroboros Mark in his soul.

　　If Dante could sing it, he would definitely sing a song about Mundus\'s sad end. Mundus, who had been clamoring to come back for revenge not long ago, could no longer realize his wish. A great demon lord who had ruled the Demon World for thousands of years actually died in the hands of a human like Balder…

　　After obtaining Mundus\'s Ouroboros Mark, Balder took out the Ouroboros Mark that Heaven had long prepared for him. Although this mark was only visible but not tangible, like a group of illusory lights and shadows, the sacred furnace from Heaven on the top of the Idavoll Building could use holy flames to fuse the two marks into one.

　　When Dante, Bayonetta, and the others arrived, they happened to witness the process of Balder holding up \'divine flames\' and see the two Ouroboros Marks decomposing and reforming together into a colorful Möbius Mark.

　　When Balder fused the divine spark, it was already too late for them to stop him. In the end, the only thing they could do was defeat Balder and prevent him from bringing the divine spark to Heaven.

　　Thus, a great battle broke out. The main characters of the battle were the three half-demon Children of Taboo plus an Umbra Witch VS Lumen Sage Balder…

　　When Balder appeared in the Demon World earlier, he did not dare to fight Roy and Sparda, so he had retreated with Mundus\'s soul. But this did not mean that Balder was weak, but because the Demon World was not his home ground!

　　But now, in the human world and the city of Vigrid, it was Balder\'s home ground. Dante and the others finally saw the strength of the strongest Lumen Sage.

　　With the mighty power of holy light and the terrifying power of psychokinesis, Balder, who had spread his peacock wings and soared in the sky, was comparable to a seraph of Heaven. But what was most against the rules was that he could actually mobilize the satellites of the Ithavoll Group!

　　They were several military satellites equipped with space-based weapons systems. These space-based weapons could attack Dante and the others from tens of thousands of meters in the sky following Balder\'s orders. The crimson high-energy laser beams arrived almost instantaneously, and they were hit before they could even react.

　　During the battle, Dante, Vergil, and Nero were all hit by high-energy laser beams. In the worst case, half of Vergil\'s body was burned away. If not for the powerful recovery ability of his demon bloodline, Vergil would have died.

　　Fortunately, although the high-energy laser weapons were powerful, they were only point-to-point attacks with a small coverage area. After suffering a few losses, Dante and the others learned how to deal with them and continuously maintained their mobility, never stopping. This forced Balder to give up on using the laser weapons to attack them.

　　Among everyone, the only one who could dodge the high-energy laser attacks was Bayonetta! Like Balder\'s Sage Time, Bayonetta could also enter Witch Time. After entering Witch Time, the flow of time around her would slow down, and only she remained unaffected in any way. This ability stemmed from the Left Eye of Darkness she wore…

　　Archangel Aesir was hailed as the God of Chaos by Heaven. He was the observer and monitor of the history of the world. The power of time might be his \'authority\', and the Eyes of the World condensed from all his power after his death naturally had the ability to control time. The Left Eye of Darkness and the Right Eye of Light after the Eyes of the World separated also inherited this ability. It was Sage Time and Witch Time…

　　After Dante and the others failed to keep up with Balder\'s movements and could not resist his Sage Time, Bayonetta became the main force in the fight against him. But during the battle, Balder kept talking and revealed another secret—Bayonetta was actually his daughter!

　　Bayonetta, whose original name was Cereza, was a child of taboo born hundreds of years ago after Balder fell in love with the Umbra Witch Rosa. Although the Lumen Sages and the Umbra Witches each controlled a piece of the Eyes of the World, the two clans were not allowed to marry each other because they were worried that they would lose the ability to control the Eyes of the World after the bloodlines mixed.

　　As a result, after Balder and Rosa gave birth to a child, it naturally triggered a confrontation between the two clans. Cereza was placed in the care of an Umbra Witch family to raise, and Balder was no longer allowed to see her.

　　Originally, if this had been all, it might not have been a big deal. But coincidentally, during the confrontation between the two clans, Heaven had begun to plan to resurrect Goddess Jubileus, so they wanted to take back the Eyes of the World. The Lumen Sages, as the representative of the angels, naturally had no problem, but the Witches refused to hand over the Left Eye of Darkness.

　　As a result, Heaven began to plan to use force to take back the Left Eye of Darkness. The angels decided to use the power of humans and instigated them to initiate the Witch Hunts, causing the Witches to suffer heavy losses. Finally, they ordered the Lumen Sages to take the Left Eye of Darkness.

　　In the end, for some reason, the Lumen Sages were instead defeated by the Witches. The result of the war was that only Balder remained of the Lumen Sages, and the Witches only had Cereza and Jeanne left. As for Cereza\'s mother, Rosa, she was killed in the war.

　　Finally, Balder, who had lost his beloved, went mad. He realized that the so-called balance between light and darkness was nothing more than a lie. The opposition of light and darkness would only bring more disputes. Only by using unparalleled power to unify and rebuild the world of the Trinity of Realities could this conflict be resolved.

　　Then, from the initial passive acceptance to active integration, Balder put on the golden half-mask, sealed his feelings, and began to participate actively in Heaven\'s plan to resurrect the Goddess of Light Jubileus. He even did not hesitate to attack his own daughter to seize the Left Eye of Darkness.

　　In the end, Cereza\'s good friend, Jeanne, hid her at the critical moment, hiding her for five hundred years…

　　Thus, Balder\'s plan to seize the Left Eye of Darkness had to be delayed for five hundred years. And because the soul of Jubileus had been weakening, just having the power of the Eyes of the World was not enough. Heaven also had to replenish her weakening soul. So during the five hundred years of the plan being shelved, Heaven asked Balder to find a way to contact a powerful demon who had come from the Demon World more than two thousand years ago and told him that this demon was a pawn that Heaven was reserving for future use…

　　Needless to say, this powerful demon was naturally referring to Mundus. In fact, Mundus had already entered the pit more than two thousand years ago. Heaven had taught this demon, who desperately wanted to become a god, how to condense the Ouroboros Mark. But because Sparda sealed Mundus later, Mundus lost contact with them.

　　The angels could not go to the Demon World, so they could only send Balder, a human, to contact Mundus. After Balder found an opportunity to go to the Demon World, he saw Mundus, who was still sealed, and brought him a promise from Heaven. He told him that once he escaped from the shackles of the seal, he could help him become a true god…

　　Perhaps it was because Balder had been lonely for many years, but after seeing his daughter again, he told the four of them everything while fighting them, leaving them dumbfounded.

　　After listening to Balder\'s story, Bayonetta completely recalled all her memories from before she was hidden. But unlike what Balder had imagined, after learning that Balder was her father, she did not have any intention of helping him fulfill his wish. In her opinion, Balder was also being deceived by Heaven. Unifying the Trinity of Realities sounded good, but it was nothing more than resurrecting Jubileus to counterattack the Demon World. Regardless of whether it was the Demon World attacking or Heaven attacking, it was still ultimately war. In the end, the unlucky ones would likely be the human worlds on both sides…

　　In order to stop Balder\'s delusions, Bayonetta attacked with all her might without hesitation. With the cooperation of Dante and the other two, she successfully defeated Balder and shot a lipstick bullet with powerful magic power into the center of his forehead.

　　They originally thought that it would end like this, so the four of them relaxed a little. Unexpectedly, when they were about to leave, Balder actually appeared again. Taking advantage of the moment when Bayonetta fell into grief from thinking that she had killed her father with her own hands, he sneak attacked her and knocked her unconscious. Then before Dante and the others could react, he carried Bayonetta, flew into the sky, and entered a golden Gate of Heaven that had just opened.

　　In a moment of desperation, they chased after him into the Gate of Heaven. As soon as they passed through the spatial channel, they saw the densely packed ancient angels around them…

　　What should we do? If we go back now, can we still escape…
