Where's Your Dignity? Don't Need It!
"To fight the demons, the Angel Nebula is now just an empty shell..."
"With my Demon Wings and current manpower, the chances of winning this battle are very slim..."
Morgana's voice was low as she gazed at the distant starry sky, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.
The Demon Queen then turned her head, concealing her unspoken vulnerability, and looked at the six-winged Creation Angel, beckoning him with a smile.
Can I borrow your shoulder?
Kevin shrugged, indicating that it was up to him, and let Morgana rest her head on his shoulder.
Hiss!
However, as the excruciating pain shot through him, Kevin's facial muscles contorted slightly, and he gasped for breath, shattering the hazy, ambiguous feeling instantly.
This shoulder isn't for leaning on, it's for biting...
Kevin turned his head to look at the tiny silver teeth biting into his flesh, and the streaks of crimson blood seeping from the teeth marks. He opened his mouth, speechless.
There's a reason why the Three Kings of Merlot have remained single for so long.
Then, seemingly because the target's reaction was too calm, the floodgates of Morgana's violent desires were immediately opened.
The Demon Queen grabbed Kevin's trailing, light-like wings with both hands and yanked them, her smile gradually becoming unrestrained and perverse.
The action, like plucking chicken feathers, caused the beautiful, shimmering feathers to scatter and flutter, revealing a hint of destructiveness and cruelty.
Whew! That feels so much better...
Morgana slowly composed herself, stood up with a smile, and the gloom on her face dissipated considerably.
"Being so good today? What you want must be something special..."
Morgana smiled and pinched Kevin's serious cheek, mischievously changing his face into various comical shapes, a pleased smile playing on her lips.
"But since your Queen is in a good mood today, I'll agree to anything she says, so hurry up!"
Kevin noticed that although Morgana appeared nonchalant, her devilish pointed ears twitched slightly, and a hint of seriousness appeared in her eyes.
"I think..."
"What are you thinking? Speak up, are you afraid your Queen will renege on her debt!"
Morgana's breath hitched, a faint sense of anticipation stirring within her.
As one of the Seven Archangels of Creation, Morgana could tell from someone's words and actions that this was an upright, serious (just kidding), and even somewhat arrogant fellow.
With the deal made and the stakes clear, Kevin, coerced and lured into joining, was finally considered to have truly become one with the Demon Legion.
Kevin took a deep breath, placed one hand on Morgana's shoulder, and slightly pulled away from the Demon Queen's face, which was almost touching his, before his lips moved slightly.
"... to become your Guardian Angel..."
"What? Did you get your brain damaged just now? Was it that bastard Ato who did this? I'll get revenge for you later!"
Morgana looked on incredulously. After figuring out a possibility, she patted Kevin on the shoulder with pity, her face full of righteous indignation.
"You heard me right..."
"Seriously?"
Kevin nodded slightly, his tattered wings fluttering gently, and the plucked feathers reformed as energy.
When dealing with enemies, he can be extremely cunning and ruthless, but when it comes to genuine emotional interactions, his emotions inevitably override his reason.
This time, if he just opened his mouth, he was 80% sure he would get Morgana's Guardian Oath.
But Kevin couldn't convince himself to use pure self-interest as leverage to achieve his ulterior motives.
"Forget it, your Queen isn't that easy to fool."
Morgana stroked her chin, scrutinized him for a moment, then chuckled and waved her hand, rejecting Kevin's unconventional show of loyalty.
"Remember, Your Queen, my kindness to you was entirely voluntary."
"Because you are the answer I've been looking for, don't feel guilty about it..."
"As for becoming Guardian Angel, don't make things difficult for yourself..."
"Angels protecting demons? Don't you think that's a bit absurd?"
"Let's keep it for Keisha. Maybe if we lose, it can save your life..."
Kevin shook his head slightly, unmoved by Morgana's well-intentioned advice.
"As the head of the Three Kings of Merlot, Queen Holy Kaisa is worshipped by billions of angels and already shines brightly; it is not my place to serve her..."
"But the current Apocalypse King needs a staunch supporter, even if it's just one..."
"As your successor, if I can't even understand and support you in this respect, then on the side of the angels, you're truly all alone, Liang Bing..."
The man placed his right hand on the Demon Queen's shoulder, their gazes meeting in a deep, dark intensity that seemed to pierce her very soul.
"Actually, you've been trying to save the future of angels..."
Chapter 1043 (Section 1089): Where's my face? I don't want it anymore!
Morgana was slightly taken aback, then chuckled and turned her head away.
"Me? Are you kidding me? If those people from the Merlot Heavenly Court heard you say that, they'd tear you apart!"
"Besides, your Queen established a great Demon Civilization and promoted Fallen Freedom; she's a complete traitor."
"Besides, I reckon I've killed at least a thousand, if not eight hundred, angels. They all wish they could skin me alive the moment they saw me..."
Kevin rolled his eyes, mercilessly exposing the rhetoric.
"First, your experiments on Kunsa Star, which spurred the evolution of the local natives, were precisely in an effort to find a shortcut to the evolution of civilization in order to combat Ultimate Fear..."
Morgana's creation of demonic genetic technology was essentially a means to match angels, bringing a completely new possibility to the Angel Nebula.
Keisha wasn't in a hurry, but the Demon Queen was aware of the possibility of the Void Civilization existing, so she couldn't wait any longer.
However, this method was too extreme for the angels, ultimately backfiring despite good intentions, and was labeled by Keisha as a heretical doctrine causing chaos...
"Secondly, after you betrayed the Merlot Heavenly Court, besides focusing on your own development, how did you manage to provoke Keisha and the others..."
"On the contrary, it was this Holy Angel King who initiated the war, using his overwhelming technology to flatten Kunsa Star, thus forging a deep-seated enmity between the two sides..."
Upon hearing this, Morgana recalled the scene from the past, and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Kevin paused, then pointed to the indignant expression on Morgana's face.
"Third, you wrote down all your thoughts on it. When you heard that Hexi was coming, you actually reacted that the Merlot Heavenly Court was vulnerable and might be in danger. You even said you weren't worried about your fellow citizens of the Angel Nebula?"
"Furthermore, your Angel Gene haven't reversed at all towards the demonic direction. Leading Keisha to the Hongmeng Galaxy was probably also out of a sliver of hope for reconciliation..."
Immediately, the observant Judgment Angel pointed out Morgana's subtle actions that revealed her true emotions, leaving the Demon Queen was trying to make excuses, speechless.
"You're too headstrong. Keisha objected, but you insisted..."
"They misunderstood, and you're only confirming it because you're trying to save face..."
Kevin unconsciously adopted a tone of reprimanding a student, silencing the speechless and enraged Demon Queen.
"Okay, okay! I'll stop pretending! I'll confess!"
"Everything you've done before was for the Angel Civilization, and now you still act like a fool, constantly thinking about them! So what!"
Morgana grew angrier as she spoke. Now that her thoughts had been exposed, she had no intention of hiding them anymore and simply let loose and vented her anger.
"I did nothing wrong! Why should I admit I was wrong!"
"Does she know what kind of life the people of Kunsa Star lived before I spread genetic technology? Does she know that they were almost wiped out during years of famine?"
"The natives here are all willing to accept the baptism of evolution and even regard me as their incomparable Queen. What does it have to do with Keisha!"
"Why is it that whatever that bitch Keisha says is black, and whatever she says is white, is white?"
"Just because I refused to admit defeat, they imprisoned me, bombed Kunsa Star, and killed so many of us. Why did they do this?!"
"Bitch! Dictator! Blockhead! Hypocrite!"
Kevin shrugged and pointed out Morgana's own flaws without reservation.
"We're in the same boat. Let's set aside for now the rights and wrongs of your early creation of the Great Demon Civilization..."
"But the problem is, in order to replenish manpower and spread chaos, using gene implantation technology to occupy the bodies of indigenous people, do you dare to say you are white?"
"In the later stages of the game, you two got bloodshot. The number of unfortunate souls who died at your hands probably exceeded the number of warriors who perished as angels and demons, right?"
Morgana's lips twitched, her expression unfriendly.
"Hey, whose side are you on?"
Kevin thought for a moment and then responded in a serious tone.
"Um, is it okay if I stand in the middle?"
Upon hearing this, Morgana smiled with narrowed eyes, gently pulled Kevin over, and then affectionately gave him a hickey on the neck while viciously cursing.
"I'll make you stand in the middle! I'll bite you to death, you traitorous fence-sitter!"
"Can you please stop being so servile! What will you do if your subordinates see this? What about your reputation?"
"No, I don't want it!"
Enraged, the Demon Queen retaliated against the angel who had exposed her shortcomings with a heavy punch, chasing after Kevin and beating him mercilessly.
Morgana only pushed the victim down and pulled his arm behind his head when she was completely exhausted from making a scene.
Meanwhile, the Demon Queen also maliciously used Kevin's pure white wings as a cushion, sprawled out on the black stone city wall, and grumbled irritably.
"In the past, there might have been female angels who showed you some sympathy, but now I guess I'm the last angel standing by your side. Joking aside, take it easy."
Kevin glanced at Morgana, who was curled up to one side, and gave her a gruff reminder.
"You're an angel who neither associates with Hua Ye nor shows much reverence for Keisha, so why do you trust me, the Demon Queen, so much?"
"What if I tell a lie? I can make it sound really good."
"Tell me the truth! I'll bite you to death if you keep arguing!"
Morgana rolled over and got up, baring her gleaming silver teeth menacingly. She was increasingly enjoying this slight sadistic sensation, especially since her target was the angel who fueled her rage.
Kevin sat up straight next to the Demon Queen, thought seriously for a moment, his expression became serious, and his gaze softened.
"I don't want to see you walking this road alone; it's too lonely..."
"Your Queen, you need me more than they do..."
"Since we're going the same way, it'll be good to travel together..."
The fact that this Demon Queen retained her Angel Gene shows that she values her angelic identity more than anything else.
Morgana's inner turmoil was something her demonic subordinates could never truly comprehend.
The pioneers who bravely fought for their hometown should not have frozen to death amidst misunderstandings and criticisms.
In that case, what's wrong with me, as an angel, becoming your pillar of support?
Morgana was stunned for a moment before turning her head away, her shoulders seemingly twitching slightly.
The atmosphere between the two remained silent for a full quarter of an hour. Morgana hugged her knees, looked up at the starry sky, and, without her usual carefree facade, murmured to herself with a hint of self-deprecation.
"I never imagined that sisters and best friends of tens of thousands of years wouldn't understand me as well as a little kid I've only known for a few days..."
But before Kevin could offer any words of comfort, Morgana's strong self-regulation ability dispelled the gloom from her brow.
Then, the Demon Queen patted Kevin on the shoulder with a smile and raised her chin with a touch of pride.
"I appreciate the oath of protection, but your Queen has always been the one protecting others. I'm not so weak that you'd cry."
"Besides, you are the answer I've been searching for, more important than my life in some ways."
"Since they're my people, I should be the one to take the oath!"
"Rest assured, I, the Queen, will take responsibility for you and your galaxy!"
"So, stand still and behave!"
Kevin stared at the figure under the starlight who was solemnly contemplating while pulling his right hand. He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled helplessly.
Unintentionally planting willows can lead to unexpected and lush growth; sometimes, fate truly plays a role.
