Taking a Day Off (Just Got Back from the Hospital) / Sorry, I'm the Mole

"That's right, I doubt you'd have the guts..."

Morgana was quite easy to coax, and in the blink of an eye, she extinguished the last trace of the wisp of smoke. Then, she played with the jade slip in her hand, rested her chin on her hand, looked up at the vast starry sky, and her brows gradually furrowed.

"What's wrong? Is something the problem?"

Kevin turned to the side and asked earnestly.

"After reviewing this jade slip again, a very serious question suddenly occurred to me..."

Morgana looked around, her fingertips brushing against the cracks in the intact black stone wall, where time seemed to have left no trace.

"Without a doubt, the Pangu Civilization lost the war against the Void Creature. Even the twelve Colossi in their final primordial form could not withstand the arrival of Ultimate Fear."

"Considering the condition of the Graveyard of Gods on the outer edge of the Hongmeng Galaxy, the last bloodline of the Pangu Clan entered these three floating fortresses after withdrawing from their mother planet."

"But they seem to have quickly abandoned this place and chosen to seek refuge in other Star Domain."

"The Void Creature are clearly trapped in that mist, so what are they afraid of?"

Suddenly, the Demon Queen seemed to realize something.

"Could it be..."

"This place... is not safe!"

Kevin added Morgana's guess in a dry voice, his expression frozen.

"If the Void Creature are truly the destroyers of civilization, they must have methods to detect highly intelligent life forms!"

"Therefore, with the arrival of angelic and Demon Civilization, the risks exposed to these three floating fortresses will increase exponentially!"

Hearing the solemn and tense expression on the person's face, Morgana, who had initially expressed her concerns, became somewhat skeptical.

"Could we be overthinking it? We've been here for months, how could it be such a coincidence that we've run into each other these past few days..."

"Laugh!"

Kevin looked over Morgana's head at the forming, jet-black chrysanthemum-shaped fissure, his expression frozen.

Damn it! Can you guys stop being so jinxed?! It's like your worst fears have come true!

Morgana's lips twitched, but she forced a smile and pretended to be calm.

"This was an accident, a small one..."

"Laugh!"

Just as the Demon Queen was about to make excuses, another magnificent chrysanthemum appeared in the starry sky, stretched open by hundreds of ribbon-like star tentacles.

"Damn it! Can't a person even speak?!"

Morgana was so angry she jumped up and down, pointing at the two large chrysanthemums of the Sky Fortress, one in front of the other, and cursing viciously.

Dear angel, please stop healing me! I can't take it anymore!

Kevin, who had just enjoyed a few days of peace, felt like crying.

However, this person is completely unaware of their unlucky fate that brings misfortune wherever they go.

"Highest Red Alert!"

"Catastrophe Level - Dragon!"

At the same time, the Demon No. 1, which had been monitoring the area surrounding the floating fortress, sounded an urgent and shrill alarm.

The Demon Warrior returned to their posts, while the Sword Demon Ato and Black Wind, who were recuperating, hurriedly logged out of the medical pod and ran towards the conference room.

"Enough talk! Kill him!"

Morgana gritted her teeth, suppressing her inner turmoil, her face contorted with rage. She then summoned the Demon Claw, which led her to the flagship Demon No. 1.

At that moment, Kevin, who was flying swiftly with outstretched wings, suddenly received a signal from Cang Xuan and Hexi.

As the channel connected, Kevin could vaguely see, through the perspectives of the two, a similar large black chrysanthemum appearing in the sky above their Star Domain.

However, compared to the situation of the angels and demons, Cang Xuan and the others were in a much better situation.

Damn, they really are the nemesis of civilization. The more people there are, the more Void Creature they attract!

"Boss Kevin! Big crisis! Big crisis!"

"The thing in the Nameless Mist has broken through the blockade and is heading straight for us!"

Cang Xuan spoke urgently, his tense face revealing barely concealed nervousness.

"How did the Pangu Clan from outside the Hongmeng Galaxy escape? You have the most thorough understanding of the Pangu Civilization, find me a solution!"

Kevin spoke succinctly, the voice of his soul resonating deep within his mind.

"Yes! I was just about to say that!"

"The three space fortresses have emergency evacuation procedures. We must obtain the Jade Token that controls the core operations, meet at the designated coordinates, and jointly activate [Pure World Red Dust]!"

"During the docking process of the Star Fortress, demons and angels must fight side by side to survive."

"Otherwise, once more and more Void Creature enter the core area of Hongmeng Galaxy and solidify the Space Anchor, even more terrifying beings will descend!"

Cang Xuan's expression was solemn, his voice urgent, and he finally clasped his hands in prayer.

"Everything depends on you..."

Kevin and Hexi frowned, remaining silent.

The catastrophe came too suddenly; neither the two traitors nor either the angels or the demons were prepared.

There's no other way; if we want more people to survive, we have to try.

P. S.: My hospital visit ended on the afternoon of the 8th, and I'll resume updates tonight. These two chapters were written this afternoon when I had some free time.

Wow, there are eight people in the ward, and five of them were snoring last night. I was half asleep, but it felt like I didn't sleep at all.

I was drowsy during the day, but I managed to write two chapters, which I find unbelievable. Anyway, I guess I should take a day off. I'll find time to finish the manuscript.

Section 1092: Taking a leave of absence (Just got back from the hospital)

I just got back from the hospital. It took a while to process my medical insurance application, longer than I expected. I didn't get home until this afternoon. I haven't slept well for two days, so I'll catch up on some sleep today.

I'm currently 5 chapters short. Starting this Friday and ending next Friday, I'll update three chapters a day to make up for it.

Don't worry, everyone. If you want to get the bonus each month, you need to write 150,000 words. I guarantee I'll reach that word count this month.

Chapter 1046, Section 1093: I'm sorry, I'm the mole.

"Warning! Spatial Rift continues to spread!"

"Short-range jump gate cannot be opened! Multiple active reactions have appeared inside!"

Inside the main control room of Demon No. 1, a group of warriors responsible for data control were rapidly typing on the light-emitting keyboards and urgently reporting to Queen Morgana.

"So, does that mean we can only break through from the front?"

The Demon Queen, with steel claw wings on her back and dressed in a tight black leather suit, impatiently waved her hand as she looked at the several deformed, slime-covered lumps of flesh squeezed out from the large black chrysanthemum on the Illusionary Screen.

Several technicians nodded solemnly, their eyes filled with a sense of gravity.

Accustomed to using Wormhole Technology for guerrilla warfare, this kind of unpretentious head-on confrontation is too bloody and primitive for demons.

However, the arrival of these Void Creature is essentially a subversion of the various rules in the Known Universe. They know very little about Ultimate Fear and can only proceed cautiously, taking it one step at a time.

"Near asteroid B7274 on the Left Arm of the Hongmeng Galaxy! Let's meet there!"

Kevin, who arrived a little late, rushed into the command room and began to ponder.

Morgana was about to give the order, but noticing the awkward and complicated expressions on Kevin's face from the demon soldiers around her, she turned to her Guardian Angel behind her and asked.

"What's the reason?"

"As I mentioned before, I came to the Hongmeng Galaxy with the Queen Mother of the West, a descendant of the Pangu Clan. The city she resides in is called [Taiqing]."

"This, along with the [Shangqing] city we are in, and the [Yuqing] city occupied by Keisha, are a trinity."

"When the core systems of the three space fortresses converge, they will have the authority to restart the Hongmeng Galaxy's defense mechanisms and open the Star Worm Gate!"

"In that case, we might have a chance to escape!"

"It seems that the invasion of the Void Creature activated the emergency procedures of Taiqing City. I have already contacted the Queen Mother of the West and the others."

Kevin responded quickly, Morgana's eyes lit up, and the surrounding Demon Warrior were also quite interested.

"Consider the remaining information on the Jade Slip: the twelve colossus were destroyed, and the three Star Fortress became the last refuge!"

"Think about the Graveyard of Gods outside the Hongmeng Galaxy. Those descendants of the Pangu Clan gathered in the Star Fortress, so how did they escape?!"

The man's cold voice added fuel to the fire in everyone's hearts.

"That's right! These three Star Fortress must have a secret entrance to leave the Hongmeng Galaxy!"

Morgana was the first to react, excitedly slapping the table with a joyful smile on her face.

"Moreover, to trap so many Void Creature in the Hongmeng Galaxy, these three sanctuaries left for the Pangu Clan must have something to counteract the Ultimate Fear!"

"Let's do it! To asteroid B7274! Perfect timing to deliver a big gift to that bitch Keisha."

"While the angels are focused on dealing with these Void Creature, we'll seize the opportunity to take control and make our escape!"

"Ah ha, thinking about it this way is so exciting, it's even getting me, the Queen, a little excited!"

They really are best friends who love and hate each other. Even when disaster is imminent, they still can't forget to think about how to trick their own sister.

Kevin secretly curled his lip, scoffing at Morgana's delusions.

Putting aside the fact that you were being chased all over the world by angels like rabbits, it's questionable whether you can even survive this skirmish.

Moreover, the higher the level of civilization concentration, the more rampant the invasion of Void Creature becomes. Keisha is already too busy to handle everything herself, and you're bringing along such a large group of dangerous things.

Haha, if the angels and demons start fighting amongst themselves now, they're definitely doomed together!

Moreover, with me and Hexi as traitors, you two probably won't be able to fight each other.

There was no other way; since internal reconciliation could not proceed smoothly, the only option was to force the angels and demons to stand on the same side by sending in an external enemy.

However, Kevin didn't offer any helpful advice, since this was precisely the strategy that the three parties had quickly agreed upon.

Since we've already been put in a desperate situation, the only way forward is for the sisters to unite and defend against external aggression.

Morgana, of course, could not fathom Kevin's dark thoughts. Looking back at the majestic floating city in the holographic projection, she rubbed her temples, her head throbbing with pain.

Thanks to the demons' technology, they have only developed 30% of Shangqing City, although they can still operate simple systems such as flight and energy shields.

However, carrying such a large target posed an extremely high risk to the Demon Legion, which had witnessed the terror of Void Creature.

Just then, Kevin threw a hazy ball of light containing a large amount of purplish-red data stream toward Morgana, his expression solemn, and he opened his mouth to ponder.

"Just now, the Queen Mother of the West and the others transmitted to me the data for deciphering the Jade Token."

"With these, we can restore at least 70% to 80% of the functionality of this Star Fortress!"

Seeing that several twisted lumps of flesh had spewed out from the rift in the starry sky, Morgana decisively stuffed the purplish-red light into the Jade Token, and then the runes on both sides gradually flickered and lit up.

The surging flow of data entered the Demon Queen's database, and as the information was shared, a clear map of the city's structure appeared on the Illusionary Screen of Demon No. 1.

"Let me see what good stuff you have..."

"Holy crap! 3,000 Rune Matrix Cannon! Stellar Fusion Furnace! Tactical Manifestation Unit! Built-in Spatial Ecosystem!"

"Damn it! Colossus... encrypted! Hongmeng Light... unlocked! Pure World Red Dust... not activated!"

"This thing is a mobile miniature Life Ark! Staying on it, including the area of the spatial units, is equivalent to having a small habitable planet!"

"We've struck gold! We've struck gold! We'll drag this amazing stuff back even if it kills us!"

Morgana became increasingly alarmed as she read the inscription, her face lighting up with a delighted expression. Like a dragon eyeing a treasure, she gripped the Jade Token tightly, then with a bold wave of her hand, her fighting spirit soaring.

"Demon No. 1, take charge of navigation, everyone who can fight, get to the front!"

As black and purple halos exploded and rippled outwards, Demon No. 1 roared into the air, hovering in front of the Star Fortress, and then opened its side slits diagonally opposite the two large black chrysanthemums.

At Morgana's command, the Demon Legion's treasured Matter Annihilation Bomb flew out of the hatch and crashed into two Spatial Rift that resembled large black chrysanthemums.

"Boom!"
