At some point in the boundless universe, a brilliant sphere of light drifted through space.
Through layers of luminous curtains, one could see a world filled with singing birds and fragrant flowers, dotted with magnificent classical buildings.
This was the Merlot Heavenly Court, the headquarters of the Angel faction in the Supergod world.
It was also a defensive celestial body built by Holy Kaisha and the Sky Base King Hexi. It was called a celestial body because the Merlot Heavenly Court moved in an irregular pattern.
Other than Angels, few could pinpoint its location.
At that moment, a craft shaped like a one-handed holy sword made a spacetime jump and appeared within the Merlot Heavenly Court.
Seeing Heavenly Blade Seven return, the Angels flew out from their residences and gathered before it to watch, sweet smiles hanging on their lovely faces.
"Heavenly Blade Seven is back! Sisters, hurry and take a look! I heard it even brought back a human male!"
"What's a man? That's such a rare species! I want to be the first to study him!"
Someone had leaked the news, or perhaps Angel Yan had included news of Lin Ye in her report.
Angels with all kinds of graceful figures fluttered their wings and landed before Lin Ye one after another.
Lin Ye had only just stepped out of Heavenly Blade Seven and set foot on the soft ground when he was surrounded by beautiful Angels staring at him as though he were some rare animal.
No, wait.
He was handsome, sure, but he wasn't handsome enough to warrant this many people gawking at him.
It was honestly a little embarrassing.
Still, why did their gazes feel so heated?
Lin Ye looked over the Angels around him, his eyes passing over face after face. Their eyes burned with desire, as if they had not seen a male in hundreds of years.
"Look, is this a human man? He's really handsome. Exactly my type."
"Do you think human men are built differently from us? Should we have him take it off and let us see?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down, girl. What if he's Sister Yan's sweetheart? Don't let her catch you."
Hearing the Angels' discussion, Lin Ye's face darkened.
Angel Yan, who was walking ahead, was equally speechless. "Are you all that idle? How about I request that Queen Kaisha marry every one of you off to the Chi Wu Star System? Then she can assign each of you a handsome man to read novels with."
The Angels all turned pale when they heard that they were going to be married off.
Though they possessed endless lifespans, the only person they believed in was the Angel Queen, Holy Kaisha.
If they were married off, wouldn't they be unable to see Holy Kaisha for a very long time?
That was absolutely unacceptable.
For a while, the Angels quieted down, only giggling and chatting with Yan.
Yan might have seemed cold on the outside, but she was warm-hearted. She was only scaring them and would never actually do it.
"Zhi Xin, take Lin Ye to a room on Island One. Observe him for a while, and don't let him run away."
At that moment, Yan turned and spoke to Zhi Xin beside her.
Zhi Xin was Holy Kaisha's right-wing guard. Yan felt at ease leaving the task to her.
Besides, until they figured out Lin Ye's identity, this was a necessary measure.
"Mm."
Zhi Xin nodded, manifested her wings, and took Lin Ye flying toward Island One.
Yan, meanwhile, went alone to meet Holy Kaisha and report on the operation.
Inside Holy Kaisha's palace, marble pillars supported the vaulted ceiling, and dazzling golden light filled the entire hall.
Within the Angel Hall, Holy Kaisha sat on her throne, resting her cheek on one hand as she calmly listened to Angel Leng's report.
"Queen, Death God Karl's thousand-year war plan appears not to have stopped. The Taotie Army under his command has already set out for the Chi Wu Solar System. In just a few more light-years, they will arrive."
"The Chi Wu Solar System has only one planet with intelligent life—Earth. If the Taotie endanger Galaxy Power..."
Angel Leng had a lock of long hair hanging to one side of her forehead, making her look exceptionally cold and glamorous. Yet when Galaxy Power was mentioned, a trace of concern appeared in her eyes.
Galaxy Power belonged to Shenhe Civilization, the universe's strongest civilization.
After Shenhe Civilization perished, Angel Queen Kaisha acquired Galaxy Power and added Angel Gene to it, giving Galaxy Power the potential to become the strongest God.
That was why Angel Leng was worried that Galaxy Power might fall into the Taotie's hands or perish midway.
"I know what you're worried about, but the Taotie are merely a motley army Karl cultivated on a whim. They are nothing worth mentioning."
On the throne, Kaisha's calm eyes remained utterly undisturbed as she spoke indifferently.
"What I'm more curious about now is that Karl's ambitions seem to be growing ever greater. His Void Theory is something we must guard against."
Just as she spoke.
An Angel Warrior flew in from outside, bowed, and reported, "Queen, Angel Yan is waiting outside and wishes to report to you."
Kaisha nodded and waved a hand, signaling for Yan to enter.
At that moment.
Tap, tap, tap...
Angel Yan landed on the steps outside the hall, climbed them one by one, and entered the palace.
"You're here?"
As Yan entered the main hall, a hollow voice with its own echo rang beside her ears.
It was as though that voice had transcended the realm of ordinary life and reached the height of a God.
Yan looked solemnly toward the throne in the distance, dropped to one knee, and saluted. "Queen Kaisha, Angel Yan is here to report on the Kunsa Star operation."
"Tell me, how did the battle go? Did any of that bitch Morgana's subordinates die?"
Kaisha's silver eyes were devoid of the slightest impurity, seemingly without any emotion, as clean as a blank sheet of paper.
Yet when Demon Queen Morgana was mentioned, she could not help but curse aloud.
Yan was used to the Queen badmouthing Morgana when no outsiders were present, so she was not surprised.
After thinking for a moment, she said, "My apologies, Queen Kaisha. During the operation, I failed to eliminate the remaining demons and allowed them to escape."
"You took Heavenly Blade Seven and still let Demon Xue Yi escape. Yan, you're becoming more and more useless." Angel Leng mocked from the side.
Faced with the mockery, Yan showed no emotional reaction. She merely looked toward Kaisha on the throne, apology in her eyes.
"My apologies, Queen. I have disappointed you."
"A minor issue."
Kaisha waved it off carelessly and asked, "But I'm curious. How did they escape?"
Yan began to explain. "At first, everything went smoothly. Heavenly Blade Seven was hidden in the shadows, and once Xue Yi appeared, I launched Heavenly Blade Judgment."
"But..."
"A strange human suddenly appeared in midair. He was directly in the path of Heavenly Blade Judgment's light, disrupting the plan."
A human?
Kaisha was slightly surprised, and a peculiar emotion appeared in her eyes.
There should have been no living creatures on Kunsa Star besides demons and those crawling vermin.
Where had a human come from?
Kaisha frowned and told Yan to explain the entire sequence of events clearly.
So Yan recounted everything about Lin Ye meeting Heavenly Blade Judgment with one hand and dismantling its light within ten seconds.
She even told Kaisha every last detail of Demon Xue Yi glancing at Lin Ye before leaving.
"So you mean a man appeared in the path of Heavenly Blade Judgment, dismantled it with one hand, and remained completely unharmed?"
Kaisha understood what Yan meant and pieced together the events, but that only made the matter stranger.
"Yes, Queen." Yan nodded.
Kaisha fell silent, surprise flashing through her normally calm eyes.
How could an ordinary human dismantle Heavenly Blade Judgment?
Their species had developed less than fifty percent of its brain potential, let alone possessed the ability to dismantle Heavenly Blade Judgment.
And he had done it with one hand, within ten seconds. Was that even possible?
If such a person truly existed, Kaisha wanted to recruit him under her command.
Even marrying one or two Angels to him would not be a problem.
But the possibility of such a human existing was almost zero.
