Under the warm sunset, two women with perfect figures were draped only in a thin layer of gauze, water droplets glistening on their skin, adding a sacred aura.
"What do you think?"
Kaisha gazed at the dying star, her lightly shadowed eyes turning to Hexi beside her.
"What?"
"How should we deal with Lin Ye?"
Hexi thought for a moment, then replied, "Better to send him back."
"Sending him back to Earth—wouldn't that be too simple?"
Kaisha casually conjured a glass of red wine, swirling it gently as she teased, "After all, he's the man who teased you, the Sky Base King. Who knows, maybe you have a thing for him?"
"Kaisha, cracking a joke about me, an angel over thirty thousand years old—that's not funny at all."
Hexi pursed her lips, involuntarily recalling the way Lin Ye had looked at her body.
That kid was still a virgin, looking frail and weak.
Heh...
"Alright..."
Kaisha stood up, her tone turning serious. "Small talk ends here."
"Lin Ye cannot stay in the Merlot Heavenly Court, or the entire Angel Civilization will have no secrets left from him."
"But we can't just let him leave freely either. It's best to establish some kind of bond."
Her tone was decisive and unwavering.
Hexi knew there was no room for negotiation. She herself was quite curious about Lin Ye's abilities.
She had originally planned to take him as a disciple if the opportunity arose.
But now, Kaisha had made her stance clear.
"Let Yan go with him to Earth Civilization. I heard Milan has established a Super God Academy there," Hexi suggested after a moment.
Milan was a survivor of the Shenhe Civilization. The Super God Academy he founded had trained batch after batch of Super Soldiers for Earth.
"That plan works. Let's discuss it back home, then send them off." Kaisha nodded.
Meanwhile.
On the other side, Lin Ye was practicing flying with the Angel Wings in the sky.
Whoosh!
On an island beneath the Angel Left Wing, Yan watched the dark-winged figure streak past and nodded in satisfaction.
"You're picking it up quickly. The Angel Gene feels like it was made for you."
"This shows that the Knight Spirit within you is very strong."
For some reason, even though the wings were woven from the Angel Gene, they manifested as black feathers.
Angels rely on the Knight Spirit; wherever there are knights, angels will exist.
And Lin Ye's black wings were clearly the externalization of his unique Knight Spirit.
Hum!
Midair, Lin Ye flapped his Dark Silver Wings, his form turning into a streak of light as he swiftly flew over Yan's head.
The black wings fluttered gently, kicking up a puff of dust.
Even in his normal state, this allowed Lin Ye to fly at supersonic speeds.
If he connected to his Heavenly Blade System, with the boost from the Concept Rewrite Engine...
He wondered if his speed could reach the level of space-warping.
Lin Ye slowly descended from the sky, clenching his fist. "With the Angel Gene, I feel like my mental processing speed has increased quite a bit, and my physical fitness has been slightly enhanced."
"That's because you have the potential to awaken the Angel Gene. If you'd grown up in Fei Leize, you might have become a decent... male angel."
Yan trailed off, the word "trash" on the tip of her tongue but never spoken.
Lin Ye hummed in acknowledgment, looking down at the building behind him. "Is this where you usually live?"
"No, I usually live on a warship. But they all said this place is good for watching the sunset, so I brought you here."
Today, Yan wore a long T-shirt, her short hair draped over her shoulders. Under the setting sun, her angelic face was on full display.
Lin Ye stared at Yan's profile, frozen for a couple of seconds.
Angel face, devilish figure—that was exactly the kind of girl Yan was.
Just then.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for shocking Angel Kaisha and Angel Hexi. You have received a massive body gene enhancement.]
[Congratulations, host, for further strengthening your Divine Body, reaching the upper tier of the Third Generation Divine Body!]
[Due to the host receiving Angel Gene enhancement, physical level may exceed that of an ordinary Third Generation Divine Body]
Hm?
After reading the system prompt, Lin Ye was utterly confused.
When did he even shock Kaisha and Hexi?
Could it be from repairing those warships these past few days?
That shouldn't be the case...
Lin Ye shook his head, unable to make sense of it.
The blood and qi in his body began to boil, the surrounding air rippling from the high temperature radiating off him.
Lin Ye's transformation was also reflected in Yan's eyes.
She stared at Lin Ye in surprise, her delicate brows furrowing slightly: "Reading Lin Ye's physical condition... read failed."
"Detected target as a Third Generation Divine Body."
"Actual strength exceeds the scope of standard Divine Body."
Yan let out a soft sound of confusion.
Strange. Lin Ye's Third Generation Divine Body had undergone a rapid enhancement in a short time.
Had he cracked the genetic technology?
Just as Yan was about to ask, she saw Lin Ye's physical changes come to an end.
Then, a white orb of light materialized in each of Lin Ye's hands, each brimming with powerful energy.
It seemed as if celestial bodies were revolving within them.
This was...
"A Celestial Computer?"
"Mm. I'm planning to create a portable Celestial Computing Cluster, similar to Sister Hexi's Heavenly Blade System. I've named it the Great Heavenly Blade."
"Sister Hexi? You sure know how to claim connections." Yan chuckled, then looked at a microscopic particle floating in Lin Ye's hand and asked, "But this little thing you've made isn't very powerful. Can I give it a try?"
Wanting to test the Sophon wasn't out of the question.
Besides, he needed a guinea pig to find the flaws in this Low-End Heavenly Blade System.
With that thought, Lin Ye flipped his palm.
A cluster of Sophons radiating a white halo appeared in his palm, fluttering like fireflies above his hand.
These were all Sophons, but Lin Ye had specifically arranged them according to the laws of the Heavenly Blade System.
In other words, this was Lin Ye's Great Heavenly Blade Computing Cluster.
"So this is... the Great Heavenly Blade Computing Cluster?"
Yan looked at the white light cluster, smaller than a basketball, hovering above Lin Ye's palm, and reached out to touch it.
The moment she made contact, the white specks of light seemed to find a guiding signal, all of them burrowing into Yan's body.
"Heavenly Blade, give Yan a little shock. Overclock operation."
Lin Ye tapped his finger lightly against the void. The next instant, Yan was horrified to find a vast, ocean-like computational power surging into her.
With a thunderous boom!
Yan's entire aura churned like boiling water, her eyes glowing with a white light similar to Kaisha's, clearly entering a state of knowledge reading.
She attempted to crack the problems she had recorded. With the enhancement of Lin Ye's Heavenly Blade System, these past difficulties became like small puddles, easily stepped over.
Her cracking speed reached nearly 60 frames per second. For reference, an Angel's Sub-biological Engine only operated at around 30 frames!
"Such terrifying cracking ability. I wonder how much it boosts combat power."
Yan stood up. Her silver armor gleamed brilliantly, wreathed in a layer of blinding thunder.
Her jade-like hand slowly raised. A bolt of writhing Heavenly Thunder seemed to come alive, lightning serpents dancing wildly, covering a range of five hundred meters in all directions.
Yan felt this still wasn't the limit of the Heavenly Blade System's enhancement!
"Full throttle!"
With a thunderous crash, lightning exploded!
Lin Ye watched as Yan's body transformed into light in that instant.
Literally, she turned into light.
[Heavenly Blade System overloaded. 20% of Sophon Computers damaged.]
[Please repair as soon as possible.]
Two lines of prompts appeared before Lin Ye's eyes. He personally witnessed Yan being blasted away by the white light of the exploding Sophons.
"Uh..."
Looks like the technology isn't mature yet.
Yan's lightning element was still too much of a load.
He'd have to find someone else next time. Yan probably wouldn't volunteer to be a guinea pig again.
