Lilies in Bloom

Forget it, getting angry causes wrinkles. Aren't all the native believers protected within the Angel Civilization like this?

Hexi waved helplessly, deciding to avoid the Orthodox Church Christians if he couldn't afford to offend them, and headed towards his own courtyard.

But the moment she turned the corner of the corridor, the angel, who had been standing straight and elegant, suddenly slumped down, like a dried-out salted fish.

Immediately, Hexi, whose face was somewhat pale, raised her right hand to support herself against the wall, stumbled, and leaned forward.

At this moment, a fair arm wrapped around Hexi's slender waist, turned to the side to help her straighten up, and then placed her on a rattan chair next to her to rest.

After catching her breath, Hexi explained with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

"We can't contact the Angel Network. The Flare Furnace technology we stole from Lieyang Star isn't mature enough. I didn't expect these guys' bodies to be so robust..."

"Tackling too much at once is a bit overconfident..."

Kevin nodded understandingly, keeping a straight face to smooth things over for the Heavenly Foundation King, and tactfully changed the subject.

"Judging from your tone upstairs, you seemed to know Ghidorah quite well?"

"Ghidorah? The new name for these guys? I remember you guys called it 'the incarnation of Satan's and 'the world-destroying dragon' in your religion."

Upon hearing this, Hexi was slightly taken aback before realizing what was happening. She then opened her private database to explain.

"Well, actually, in our angelic dictionary, these monsters have a special name—[Cosmic Dragon], a very dangerous and ferocious race."

"Their purpose is usually to extract planetary energy and destroy civilizations; in short, they're a lot of trouble!"

Angels actually had dealings with Ghidorah? What a coincidence!

Kevin, who is prone to paranoia, subconsciously harbors some doubts about the unusual arrival of the Ghidorah race and is therefore eager to obtain more information.

Moreover, according to reports from various locations, the situation is basically under control, and the location of Ghidorah's lair has been identified.

The real concern right now is whether there will be a second wave of attacks and how to respond.

Hexi met Kevin's probing gaze, found a comfortable position to lie down, and continued to explain the angels' records of Ghidorah.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, the Angel Civilization, in order to establish the Fourth Order, spread the Just Order across vast Star Domain..."

"During this process, more than a dozen groups of our sisters lost contact within the Kilax Galaxy..."

As the Heavenly Foundation King recalled that period of history, his brow furrowed and his gaze turned solemn.

"At the time, it was Queen Holy Kaisa who handled this matter; she personally led a team to the scene to investigate."

"Since our Merlot Heavenly Court is newly established and internally unstable, and we are also engaged in small-scale battles with Hua Ye and his group of Heavenly Scum outside, a lazy person like me has become the best choice to guard the home."

"So, I don't know the specifics of the battle. All I know is that what they encountered inside the Kilax Galaxy was what you call Ghidorah."

Kevin was slightly surprised, noticing that Hexi's expression wasn't good, and tentatively asked...

" With Queen Holy Kaisa personally leading the charge, how could she not achieve a resounding victory?"

However, Hexi's face darkened as these words stirred up memories.

"Keisha returned alive, and she even brought back the thing's three heads as trophies, which she added to her armory..."

"But she was seriously injured, and one-fifth of her elite troops were lost!"

"Although at that time, we had not yet developed the Sacred Body, her strength was only at the level of a peak main god."

"But it's unbelievable that such a monster could hurt her!"

Kevin, who had a premonition, had his pupils slightly contract upon hearing Hexi's revelation.

He suddenly remembered that when this Heavenly Foundation King was fighting in mid-air, he had referred to these Ghidorah as "calves"?

Chapter 899, Section 939: The Lilies Bloom

"Don't worry, there aren't that many freaks among the entire Cosmic Dragon. The one in the Kilax Galaxy is an exception."

"Furthermore, according to our later research, different mature forms would evolve due to factors such as growth environment, energy absorption level, and age at the time."

"Back then, the Kirax aliens, eager to expand, poured all of the galaxy's energy into feeding this ancient creature, which resulted in this monstrous being."

At this moment, Hexi saw Kevin's solemn expression and realized that the news she had just heard was somewhat shocking. She waved her hand and began to explain.

"It seems it should be called Emperor Kiddola. Once fully mature, it possesses the strength of Main God Level."

"But that's basically the limit for this kind of creature. These more normal King Kiddola are the main body of their species."

Upon hearing this, Kevin calmed himself down slightly and realized that he had indeed been a bit overly sensitive.

Hexi rested her chin on her hand, blinked her eyes, and savored the memories. As she opened her lips, an amused smile appeared on her face.

"However, after learning her lesson, that tomboy Keisha behaved herself for a while."

"Only after she and I perfected our Sacred Body and entered a higher form of life did we begin to construct a Just Order universe."

"But that woman is very vengeful. Her personal guards suffered heavy losses and were taken advantage of. She'll inevitably seek revenge."

"During that period, as the angelic army was sent out to gather intelligence, if they discovered any trace of a cosmic creature like Ghidorah, they would immediately report it, Keisha would personally lead a team to wipe them out."

"Yeah, it's like playing a hunting game, she's addicted. She's practically slaughtered every single Ghidorah she could find!"

Then, this Heavenly Foundation King used an algorithm to construct a wormhole, retrieved an illustrated Latin Bible from his small warehouse, opened Revelation chapter 12, and savored its verses.

"And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought against it, but they were not victorious, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven..."

Then, Hexi blinked and showed Kevin a rubbing of a religious painting depicting Archangel Michael wielding Sword of Flames and beheading a dragon, a hint of exploratory pleasure shining through her dejected face.

"Well, in a sense, many of the legends about wars between angels and dragons in the universe originated from Keisha's whims."

Kevin smiled, nodded with interest, and took the rubbing to examine it.

Faced with such an interesting topic, the man couldn't help but rhythmically tap the rattan chair with his right hand, contemplating mythology and reality.

"It seems the four supreme archangels are almost complete..."

"Queen Holy Kaisa is Michael, the Fire Angel who represents [Absolute Justice] and defeated the evil dragon..."

"You are not only a scholar of the Merlot Heavenly Court, but also a pioneer in spreading civilization to the natives of different planets, therefore you are depicted as Raphael, the Wind Angel..."

"I represent anger and thunder, guard Eden, and serve Hell Commander. I am Uriel, the Judgment Angel..."

Kevin spread out the three pairs of wings behind him, touched them with a flick of his finger, and a slight smile appeared on his lips as he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"This is probably the Information Anchor for my successful fusion with the Angel Gene. It turns out that the old geezer Aeon God Kieran, had foreseen everything all along."

"What's yours is yours, no matter how you try to hide, you can't escape it..."

Upon hearing this, Hexi rolled her eyes and snorted in annoyance.

"What's wrong with us angels? Why are you so disgusted with us? We didn't even eat your rice!"

Kevin realized that his words had been somewhat misleading, so he took out his treasured desserts and drinks from the Void Rift and tossed them to Hexi, who shared his personality, as an apology.

With the food as a bribe, Hexi's expression improved considerably.

Driven by the joy of sharing discoveries, this Angel of Wind, whose true nature and elegance are far removed from reality, shamelessly revealed her own inside story.

"The remaining Gabriel, the Water Angel, actually has a prototype in the Merlot Heavenly Court, namely Liang Bing..."

"There is also concrete evidence: Gabriel represents the dual divinity of [wisdom] and [revelation]..."

"Coincidentally, Liang Bing's academic achievements are no less than mine, and she even holds the title of [Apocalypse King]..."

"Furthermore, according to the Bible and some legends, Gabriel is also the mastermind who blows the trumpet of destruction at the Doomsday Judgment, intending to cleanse the human world..."

"Look, the elements of judgment and destruction are combined again. After that, it's only natural to extract its original genes and create a new generation of Judgment Angel?"

Kevin carefully compared the text and found that it matched the scriptures perfectly. He nodded in agreement with Hexi's judgment and then gave her a thumbs up in admiration.

"Brilliant!"

The pleasure of being praised by fellow puzzle enthusiasts made Hexi overjoyed, and she couldn't help but reveal some dirty secrets about the Merlot Heavenly Court.

"Let me tell you a secret, don't be fooled by Liang Bing's flamboyant outfits and promiscuous behavior. She talks like she's begging to be pushed around."

"But in reality, this guy is a complete novice who hasn't even had sex education. He'd probably blush for ages if he seriously talked about anything related to love!"

Ahem, does this have anything to do with the mythology we're discussing?

Kevin's expression was strange, and he muttered to himself, but his ears were very alert, and the image of Liang Bing in his mind became clearer and more vivid.

In my memory, this fallen Demon Queen used the word "bitch" all the time.

When she personally negotiated with the terrorists, trying to recruit them, she couldn't even grasp the implications of "I want to leave my seed in your body," making her a complete novice who only knew how to talk big.

Hexi patted Kevin on the shoulder in a friendly manner, her tone becoming even more mysterious. She glanced around furtively, then pulled out several rubbings of the image of the angel Gabriel from the Space Wormhole.

Kevin peeked out and saw that the image was clear and distinct.

In orthodox church art, Gabriel is depicted holding Lily Branch and a sword.

Among them, the sword represents "justice" and "truth," which is very fitting for Liang Bing's identity as a scholar.

As for the Lily Branch... the man seemed to suddenly realize something, and looked at Hexi with a strange gaze. Across from him Heavenly Foundation King, who was increasingly resembling a gossip reporter, nodded with a peculiar smile.

"In many civilizations on various planets, the Lily Branch symbolizes purity and virginity..."

"So, Liang Bing is actually a lifelong virgin who has never had any romantic experience!"

"However, later I felt that this dark history was too shameful, so I simply used outrageous behavior to cover up my failure in a certain area."

Kevin twitched his lips, finding Hexi's gloating somewhat both amusing and exasperating.

He estimated that the Heavenly Foundation King, who was responsible for balancing the conflict between the Keisha sisters, had long harbored resentment after ten thousand years of mediating disputes.

Now that they've finally found an equal, someone to properly roast the two sisters, Lady Hexi, who has suffered humiliation for millennia, is naturally eager to vent her frustrations.

However, based on Kevin's foresight, Hexi's judgment just now may not be entirely correct.

Besides the connotation of purity, the word "lily" also carries a metaphorical meaning of lesbianism on Earth.

Judging from Liang Bing's future attitude towards Du Qiangwei, could this Demon Queen really have ulterior motives?

Wow, it seems like there's some big gossip going on in the Merlot Heavenly Court.

Kevin's thoughts wandered, his curiosity surged, and in a moment of impulsiveness, he couldn't help but whisper and ask about the romantic histories of the other two Angel Kings.

"I heard that Sumari forcibly kissed you?"

"You guys are focusing on the wrong thing. The important thing is whether we succeeded or not, okay?"

Somewhat lazy and carefree, Hexi was a little annoyed by this old topic and didn't even bother to avoid it.

Sumari is an extremely vain man who relies on these flowery words to gain prestige.

Moreover, his orientation is actually closer to homosexuality; given the chance to force a kiss, wouldn't he push Hua Ye away first?

However, often what groups want to know is not the truth, but rather sensational news.

As time goes by, if people are willing to believe that version, the false becomes the true.

Therefore, Hexi, who is usually very lazy, did not want to waste her energy correcting or arguing.

Kevin nodded sympathetically, gently patted the victim's shoulder in comfort, and asked another question that puzzled him.

"That Queen Holy Kaisa, she..."

Hexi looked disdainful, rolled her eyes, and snorted.

"Asking this must be because of information manually entered into the Apocalypse Combat System? Tsk, that woman Liang Bing, even with this little bit of free time, she doesn't forget to gossip about me and Keisha..."

"Think about it. Ghidorah, who angered Keisha, was almost wiped out by this tomboy. If Hua Ye really succeeds, will he be able to walk out of prison alive after being captured?"

Hearing that Liang Bing had unwittingly taken the blame for his gossip, Kevin chuckled and turned his attention back to the main topic.

"Ghidorah, yes, do you have any other information about them?"

However, at this moment, Hexi solemnly placed her right hand on Kevin's shoulder, her eyes narrowed, and her smile was strange.

"Little brother, I've been asking around for so long, and I've even risked being hunted down by those sisters to tell you everything. Shouldn't you show some sincerity?"

"Sincerity?"

Kevin's eyelids twitched, and after a moment of confusion and questioning, he sensed something was wrong. He tried to make an excuse to slip away, but Hexi held him firmly in his seat.

"Mediating disputes is exhausting. After being caught in the middle for so many years, it's getting harder and harder for me. Maybe I should try someone else."

"Your genes are inherited from Apocalypse King Liang Bing, but your identity is that of a male rejected by the Merlot Heavenly Court..."

"From a standpoint of principle, you have always upheld the continuation of civilization, which can be considered, albeit Just Order."
