Affinity Points Through the Roof (Part 5)
In order to carry out the final step, Morgana deliberately left a clue on Earth to retrieve it, namely the so-called [Apocalypse Battle Engine].
It must be said that this Demon Queen's research on her own sister and the Merlot Heavenly Court was almost ingrained in her very being.
No one could have imagined that the devil would leave behind the angel's genetic program to collect data and serve as a location marker.
Therefore, throughout the long millennia, the [Apocalypse Battle Engine], which was operating quietly, remained undetected by the Merlot Heavenly Court.
Now, after considering the bombshell revelations Morgana has made, Kevin finally understands why, in the "script," this Demon Queen is so determined to make Earth her new home.
The reason why angels and demons fought the Finality battle in the Chiwu Star System, and why Morgana later regarded Earth as her own possession, is thus revealed.
Such a far-sighted plan, such a move foreshadowed over a thousand years, made Kevin look at the carefree, black-haired Mature Woman in front of him with new respect.
In a daze, he couldn't even figure out whether Morgana was a brilliant strategist or not.
However, upon reflection, Kevin quickly suppressed any contempt he might have felt for the Demon Queen.
Her carefree and easygoing personality is just that—her personality. It doesn't mean this Demon Queen is without guile.
It's worth noting that in the original script, this Demon Queen, who was chased all over the universe, not only escaped five large-scale sieges by the Merlot Heavenly Court.
Moreover, during the Sixth War between Angels and Demons that broke out on Earth, Morgana, who was on the verge of defeat, actually used the Light of the Sun to detonate Emerald Star Reina the help of Death God Karl, blasting the body of the Queen Holy Kaisa into billions of Divine Atom, and accomplishing an almost impossible god-slaying feat!
However, things didn't go as planned. Kevin's confrontation with Sumari in Canghai City, and his advice to Cocolia, triggered a chain reaction.
Upon receiving a report from the Angel Fund, Queen Holy Kaisa severed the space route for the Demon Legion to the Chiwu Star System.
Forced into a corner, the Demon Queen, guided by the God of Death God Karl, led the Melo army into the Hongmeng Galaxy, hoping to find a glimmer of hope by taking advantage of its unique environment.
Therefore, Morgana's long-planned God-Slaying Operation was aborted, and the stunning match that led to the fall of the Queen Holy Kaisa also vanished without a trace.
But anyone who truly believes Morgana is a fool is truly foolish.
After all, cunning and deceit are also synonyms for evil.
Once Kevin regained his senses, he couldn't help but think to himself: these God King-tier beings are indeed not to be trifled with.
"Well, I've told you everything, now you should believe me, right?"
"Don't let your angelic appearance fool you, it has nothing to do with that bitch Keisha. We're on the same side."
Morgana pinched the soft flesh of Kevin's cheek, propped up his smooth chin with one hand, lowered her head, and looked at the little guy on the bed who was unable to move due to his serious injuries with a smile.
Kevin nodded, then firmly shook his head.
"I am an angel, you are a demon..."
"Based on the history of civilization on Kunsa Star, I know how you will treat humanity on Earth..."
"Fallen Free Thought, gene implantation technology!"
"My fellow countrymen have their own paths to walk. Even if they inherit your legacy, I will absolutely not allow them to run rampant on Earth!"
The man reiterated his stance, refusing to back down.
"You naive kid! How can there be no leaps in civilization without people dying?"
"Hunger, disasters, diseases, war—since all sorts of factors can become ways to eliminate the weak, why can't you accept my selection criteria?"
"Once you get past this hurdle, these things will no longer be a threat to you..."
Morgana was not angry; after her earnest advice failed, she looked dejected.
"Objective force majeure and subjective acts of infringement cannot be equated..."
"If excessive freedom is promoted, and some unworthy individuals suddenly seize power, then the social order of humanity will inevitably collapse!"
Kevin stated his views calmly and righteously.
"Fine, fine, since your planet has already given birth to a civilization's leader, then let them make their own decisions. I'm not an unreasonable person..."
"At worst, it'll be tough. I'll lead my demon army back to Kunsa Star..."
"But if you want me to give up taking control of the Chiwu Star System, you have to agree to one condition. That's not unreasonable, is it?"
Morgana was surprisingly easy to talk to. After waved her hand dismissively to change the subject, she looked intently at Kevin.
The man hesitated for a moment before cautiously opening his mouth to speak.
"You go first..."
Morgana spoke earnestly and eagerly, grabbing Kevin's arm.
"I want you to work for me!"
P. S.: One more chapter is coming, and it's being rushed.
Chapter 1034, Section 1079: Overwhelming Favorability (Fifth Update)
"I?"
Although he was somewhat prepared, Kevin still found it hard to believe when he heard Morgana's burning desire.
"Is it really worth it to trade my participation for a habitable planet?"
Besides, shouldn't your true love be the Space-Time Rose? The man swallowed the rest of his sentence, silently grumbling to himself.
"Is it really necessary?!"
Morgana raised her voice instantly, jumping out of bed with a look of exasperation, and excitedly rubbed Kevin's cheeks until they were distorted.
"You unlucky kid, don't you know how important you are to me!"
"Don't even mention trading a planet; I'd gladly exchange it for the Angel Nebula of the Merlot Heavenly Court!"
Well, there must be a reason for this off-the-charts level of favorability, right?
Kevin's face, constantly shifting shape, revealed a searching gaze.
After Morgana finished playing with the table, she paced back and forth in front of the bed, her demeanor changing as she began to talk eloquently.
"Karl and I are both at the Super God Academy, and we each have our own research topics."
"If his representative works are [Ultimate Fear] and [Void Engine], then my greatest achievements are [Space-Time Theory] and [Apocalypse System]..."
Upon hearing the familiar words, Kevin subconsciously murmured them.
"Space-Time Rose?"
"You even know this! It seems those old fogies at the Super God Academy really did apply this theory to the creation of the Divine River Gene..."
Morgana looked somewhat surprised, then stroked her chin thoughtfully.
"That's right. The Deno Galaxy is a staunch supporter of the Super God Academy. Since they became homeless, it seems that both sides have sought refuge in the Chiwu Star System."
"Moreover, their Gene God-Making Project is quite complete, making them the most likely inheritors of this system..."
Kevin noticed the astonishment in Morgana's eyes, and with a quick glint in his eye, he tried to shift the blame.
"How about this? I'll give you Du Qiangwei, the Divine River Warrior who inherited the genes of time and space. Consider it a foundation for peaceful exchange between us..."
While it was something to be proud of to have piqued the interest of the mature, dark-haired Mature Woman before him, Kevin felt uneasy about this strange sense of familiarity, due to a combination of factors.
After all, his and Hexi's plan was not to side with either the angels or the devils.
By maneuvering between Keisha and Morgana, bringing down these two troublesome sisters from their thrones, and then seizing power to end the war, this pair of traitors ultimately aimed to achieve their goal.
Excessive attention often means a greater risk of exposure.
Therefore, it's better to use the Du Qiangwei to attract attention than to become the center of attention yourself.
Old Du, we're already so close, you shouldn't mind if your daughter makes a sacrifice for you, right?
Very well, your silence is tantamount to consent.
Kevin outwardly maintains the hypocritical image of an angel, steadfast and unyielding, while inwardly selling out his former students without any pressure, showing absolutely no integrity befitting a teacher.
However, Morgana's reaction surprised Kevin.
The Demon Queen was taken aback at first, then she actually laughed in anger, and pounded her fist on the headboard in great excitement.
"You unlucky kid, are you kidding me?! The value of the Space-Time Rose can't compare to yours!"
"Do you even know what the true purpose of this Angel Engine, which records my initial genes, is?!"
Seeing Kevin's still bewildered expression, Morgana took a deep breath to avoid being driven mad by the unfortunate child in front of her.
"It's evolution!"
"Evolution that integrates various external factors and continuously pushes the limits of biology!"
"Can't you be a little more dignified?!"
"Fallen Freedom is not unrestrained indulgence! It is a return to the most fundamental evolutionary desire of living beings!"
Morgana was filled with passion, and a flush of excitement and fervor gradually rose on her face.
"We ignore all obstacles! We are fearless! We never stop!"
"We regard everything as something to be conquered! We regard resources as food to sustain ourselves!"
"We break free from any shackles that bind our minds and bodies! We trample on all unreasonable rules!"
"Life ultimately ascends to the pinnacle of evolution in its authentic, id state!"
"This is my true Fallen Freedom!"
Immediately, the Demon Queen raised one hand, spitting as she began to berate her old nemesis.
"That bitch Keisha's 'Just Order,' talking about not wanting war, protecting the weak, and promoting civilized development, but she can't even allow weapons of mass destruction..."
"The problem is, this method can only produce flowers grown in a greenhouse..."
"In this situation, why are they, the angels, forever stuck at the top of the pyramid, depriving other races of the right to evolve? On what grounds?"
"There is no place for the weak in the universe; fairy tales like this can only fool little girls!"
Kevin was unaware of what he had unintentionally touched upon, causing Morgana to unleash her pent-up resentment at being hunted by Keisha for millennia in a fit of passion.
As this founder of Fallen Free Thought explained, men gradually gained a more comprehensive understanding of some of their prejudices against evil.
While Morgana's ideas and practices are relatively extreme, they are not without merit. It is indeed biased for Queen Holy Kaisa to simply define them as heretical.
But while he could understand, Kevin felt compelled to offer a gentle reminder as the Demon Queen's criticisms of Keisha had escalated to personal attacks.
"Your Queen, you've gone off-topic..."
"It's all because of that stubborn old man!"
Morgana choked on her words, then reluctantly shut up, before speaking in a serious tone.
"Given the frequency and intensity of the natural disasters you described, I never even dared to imagine that the Apocalypse Engine I left behind could eventually cultivate a suitable host."
"But you succeeded! You even broke through the inherent limitations of angels and became a more perfect being than I had imagined!"
The Demon Queen paused, then, counting on her slender white fingers, expressed her excitement to Kevin.
"Think about it, what have you incorporated..."
"Biochemical virus, Honkai energy, the Will of Nature, the Flower of Calamity, ancient runes, the bloodline of the Eternal Race..."
"These not only don't conflict with each other, but they also complement each other."
This means that you yourself are a vast and all-encompassing genetic treasure trove!
"A few random items you take out, with a little optimization and development, can trigger a revolutionary transformation of an entire civilization!"
"Angels fear these calamities and forbidden powers; I've always dreamed of having them!"
"As long as you follow me, Queen! The Demon Legion can crush that bitch Keisha in less than ten years!"
"Who cares about Earth! I'll just storm the Angel Nebula, or rebuild Kunsa!"
Morgana seemed to have envisioned a bright future, and as she spoke, her eyebrows danced with excitement, exuding an aura of dominance.
It turns out that Earth is the most suitable environment for this Angel Engine to operate.
Moreover, this was not only guided by the Super God Academy, but even Hatsune Miku later shut down the solidified data of the Apocalypse System, allowing him to grow wildly without restraint.
Ultimately, he achieved his goal of becoming a galactic god-king capable of handling all kinds of natural disasters, and his true strength even surpassed that of Morgana and Keisha.
"Of course, and more importantly..."
After savoring the afterglow for a moment, Morgana stepped forward with shining eyes, her gaze intense.
