Too Scared to Do Anything but Thrive (Part 3)

"It was the right decision to find that freak Karl first! Look, the Void Engine, this is our key to turning the tide!"

After explaining a few words with a stern face, the bearded Angel King reached out and gently pulled Ruo Ning up from the ship's railing, then waved his hand to drive his subordinates away.

Hua Ye closed his five fingers, dispelling the black vortex. After gently taking Ruo Ning's trembling fingertips, his face showed deep affection.

"I am, after all, a king; I should give my subordinates some face..."

These gentle words gradually dispelled the fear that had risen in Ruo Ning's heart, and she then changed the subject to ease the tense atmosphere.

"How do you know that freak Karl will definitely help us?"

"What if he sells us to the Lieyang Star? We almost missed out this time!"

Hua Ye gently stroked Ruo Ning's smooth hand, his eyes narrowing.

"It's simple, Karl doesn't want a massive entity of order to appear and interfere with his exploration of that Ultimate Fear."

"As far as I know, Karl and Liang Bing were alumni of the Super God Academy, and they possess the most advanced Celestial Computer, the Great Clock, which can distort time and space on a large scale."

"In terms of strength, Liang Bing is still a step behind her sister."

"In the previous five Angel-Demon War, Keisha always had the upper hand over Morgana, but now she's been outmaneuvered by the Demon Legion's small force. Do you think this is a coincidence?"

Ruo Ning suddenly realized the truth and understood the intricacies of the matter.

"You mean, Karl is secretly supporting the Demon Legion's power and even using his Celestial Computer to give Morgana advice?"

Hua Ye turned and sat back on the throne, stroking his chin and nodding slightly.

"That Karl, don't be fooled by his outwardly respectful attitude towards Keisha's Just Order. He's actually up to no good and very cunning."

"In the Known Universe, if there's anyone who most wants to stab Keisha in the back, he's definitely on the list!"

Ruo Ning recalled the five failed attempts in the Angel-Demon War, and seemed lost in thought.

It can now be basically concluded that Morgana is being sabotaged by that freak Karl.

However, thinking about this, Ruo Ning couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"If Karl and Morgana team up and actually take down Keisha..."

"After that, this Apocalypse King, with the power of the Styx Galaxy, pressed his advantage and seized the Angel Nebula. All our efforts were for nothing!"

Hua Ye smiled and waved his hand slightly, his tone playful.

"Join forces? Probably not!"

"If Keisha is an obstacle to Karl's Void Theory, then isn't the resurgent Morgana also an obstacle?"

Ruo Ning was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but remind her.

"You said before that Liang Bing wasn't Karl's first love? A very pure one..."

"He's secretly helped Liang Bing so many times, he seems to value old friendships, could he really bring himself to do it?"

Hua Ye stroked his stubble and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"First love? What good is that! Weren't Sumari and Hexi first love too?"

"But when those two turned on each other, they were more ruthless than anyone else!"

Ruo Ning glanced at the empty seat next to King Hua Ye and remained silent.

The Angel King, somewhat agitated, descended the steps, and Ruo Ning unexpectedly felt a sense of oppressive power from him.

"Karl might have had some sexual interest in Liang Bing before, but now he's turned himself into Phantom Body."

"What's the point of talking about something without a chicken?"

"Furthermore, if Karl were truly as pure as you claim, why didn't his Styx Galaxy forces clash with Keisha?"

"Don't forget, this time Liang Bing disappeared along with Keisha."

Hua Ye tapped rhythmically on the gunwale with his right hand, his gaze towards the Styx Galaxy behind him carrying a profound meaning.

"Help? You think he's really that kind-hearted?"

"Karl is keeping Morgana hanging in the air, keeping her half-dead, so he can continue to distract Keisha..."

"Calling him a pervert now is absolutely right."

But after offering a few insightful analyses, the Angel King reverted to his old ways, grabbing forward with his hands in a lewd manner and displaying a mocking expression.

"I think Liang Bing's brain is all in her chest."

"Compared to Karl and Keisha, she's the most naive one..."

Can't you be serious for a little while longer? Ruo Ning frowned and rubbed her forehead, somewhat speechless.

The female angel who had crossed paths with Liang Bing was overwhelmed with jealousy as Hua Ye's highly invasive actions subconsciously brought back the "evil" image on someone's chest.

Indeed, it's too big...

P. S.: I'm writing one or two more chapters.

Chapter 1069, Section 1024: A Coward Creates a World (Third Update)

"Could Karl become a threat to us?"

Ruo Ning pulled herself together from her rambling thoughts and voiced her concerns.

"It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but right now he's counting on me to dismantle Morgana's position and withstand Keisha's wrath..."

"After all, it seems Hexi has already gone to rescue Keisha and the others."

"This Michael isn't exactly known for his good temper. If he finds out who's behind her schemes, he'll definitely burn the Styx Galaxy to the ground..."

The black energy vortex in Hua Ye's hand gathered and dispersed intermittently. He stroked his chin thoughtfully, quite satisfied with the Void Engine on his equipment.

"However, I want all the benefits. I'm willing to slack off, but don't even think about taking the blame."

"In short, be careful. Things are getting tense lately. Let's go to the Mottled Blue Galaxy to lay low for a while and leave the mess to Karl. Don't be the first to stick your neck out!"

The Angel King, who had carved out his own niche in the universe, stroked his slightly itchy stubble, a shrewd glint in his eyes.

However, before Ruo Ning could even respond with a few words, Hua Ye began lecherously grabbing at things in mid-air.

"If I'm lucky enough to wait until they're both exhausted, hehe, I'll have a Keisha on my left and a Morgana on my right..."

"Smack!"

Ruo Ning's face darkened, and she slapped Hua Ye's hand away, feeling displeased.

Keep dreaming! If you want them so badly, are you planning to dump me next?

Hua Ye opened his eyes helplessly, grabbed Ruo Ning's hand, and launched into a series of affectionate complaints.

"Tsk, look at you, we've been married for so long, and you're still so jealous. I was just saying..."

"Besides, nothing beats having something you can't have, you're my precious little darling..."

As Hua Ye approached Ruo Ning from behind, his mischievous hands roamed over her voluptuous curves, causing the woman's face to flush slightly before her expression softened.

However, due to the failure of Freyja and Angel Nebula's two plans, coupled with the fact that Sumari had both met their demise, Ruo Ning felt a strong sense of unease.

Unlike usual, she wasn't easily swayed by Hua Ye's sweet words. She quickly regained her senses and grabbed the Angel King's claws.

"Once we conquer Angel Nebula, I want something!"

"One thing won't do, I'll give you my heart..."

Hua Ye chuckled and nibbled on Ruo Ning's earlobe, continuing his daily routine as a lecherous old man.

"Just one thing! You have to promise me!"

"The Armory of Queen Holy Kaisa..."

Ruo Ning shifted her body slightly, creating a small distance between herself and the others, her expression solemn and serious.

"What do you need that for? I'll be there for you no matter what happens!"

At this moment, Hua Ye, who had been grinning, stiffened slightly, patted Ruo Ning's hand lightly, and changed the subject with a shifty look in his eyes.

You won't give it to me?

Ruo Ning shook off Hua Ye's arm, her face darkening.

"Here you go! I'll give it to you, okay..."

Hua Ye quickly raised his hands in surrender, making a solemn promise.

"Are you satisfied now? The journey is still long, let's go have some fun."

Seeing that Ruo Ning no longer gave him a hard time, the old lecher immediately picked up the Rebel Angel and rushed towards the bedroom.

"A deathly sight..."

Ruo Ning rolled her eyes at her impatient old lover, gave a light snort of annoyance, and inwardly felt proud of her remaining attraction, all traces of displeasure vanishing.

However, the rebellious angel, in her relaxed state of mind, failed to notice the icy coldness in the depths of Hua Ye's eyes as he turned away from her!

I worked so hard to create Morgana and Keisha, and now I'm supposed to help you rise to the top? Are you just making things harder for me?

This stupid woman really thinks I'm a sucker?!

Hehe, do you know why I could see right through Karl's character? Because we're pretty much the same kind...

With your IQ, you still have the nerve to play with Morgana and Keisha? If it weren't for me, you wouldn't even know how you died!

Hua Ye inwardly scoffed, his eyes cold and indifferent.

With the Void Engine, his dependence on Ruo Ning was no longer of any importance.

If he were to uncover any more of her secrets, this woman would be so repulsive he'd even want to use her as a toy.

As the spaceship passed through a meteorite circle, the mottled blue starlight shone into his eyes, and a strange, sinister smile appeared on the face of the Angel King.

It seems I'm going to visit that group of Triangle Body, but I haven't had time to prepare a gift yet...

Lost in her daydream, Ruo Ning was completely oblivious to the impending danger, unaware that Hua Ye's earlier speculation about Morgana's fate could also apply to her.

On the planet Freyja, in the desolate southern desert, a middle-aged man with black hair, clad in light silver armor and carrying a longsword with a golden sheath at his waist, traversed quicksand as if walking on flat ground.

However, what was just a brightly lit desert turned gloomy in a moment, as howling winds tore through large swaths of dark clouds.

The sand and dust beneath the lightly armored man's feet were swirled up layer by layer, gathering forward with the turbulent airflow.

When the desert travelers looked up, they saw dozens of tornadoes piercing the sky, already within a hundred meters.

A strange energy field, with an ominous aura...

It seems we're almost there—the ruins of the Shurima Empire...

The middle-aged man, exuding an air of authority without anger, murmured softly, his expression calm and serene, and continued walking at a leisurely pace, his figure gradually being swallowed up by the raging tornado.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the dimly lit universe, the Ryze the Wandering Mage stood atop a prayer wheel, slowly opening his eyes as if sensing something.

"They were too hasty. Knowing the truth too early and attracting the attention of those things won't benefit anyone..."

Should we make a move?

A voice, possessing both gentleness and coolness, resounded, its magic soothing chaotic thoughts.

The void was sparsely populated with stars, and a pure white lotus seat with thirty-six petals rotated on its own, with a transparent figure exuding a mysterious aura standing within it.

Beneath the gleaming bald head, the face devoid of joy or sorrow, was none other than that of the Ancient One Sorcerer Supreme.

"No need. Curiosity is an innate quality that no creature of the Divine River Body can suppress..."

"Sometimes, the more you try to stop it, the faster it might actually accelerate..."

Pulling over a chair, the figure sitting suspended above the starlight was none other than Great Inventor Ding Gehei, the founder of the Super God Academy and the great inventor.

After a brief silence, Ding Gehei's deep gaze froze in the unknown darkness of the edge space, and he spoke slowly and deliberately, his voice low and dry.

"Besides, we have more important things to do, and time is running out..."

At this moment, Ryze the Wandering Mage, and the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, were on high alert, staring intently at a certain spot in the boundless darkness.

In that instant, my heartstrings trembled, and the wet, murmuring thoughts in my mind burst forth.

Clumps of indescribable Light Orb polymers were squeezed out of the darkness, and thousands of Starlight Tentacles shot toward the boundaries of the Known Universe.

At the critical moment, a cold, silvery-gray and pale green light shone down, and the dense, Starlight Tentacles shattered as if they had crashed into a transparent wall.
