Huaxia, Tianhe City, Angel International Building.
It was the headquarters of Angel International Cultural Investment Company and one of Tianhe City's landmark buildings. It was also the city where the Taotie invasion of Earth would collide with the Super Soldier Company in their first iconic battle.
At this moment, Tianhe City was incomparably prosperous, with traffic flowing and crowds bustling through the streets. No one could have imagined that Earth's great upheaval was about to begin, nor that Tianhe City would soon become ruins and fire the first shot of resistance against the invasion.
On the top floor of Angel International Building, Angel International's headquarters was holding a cultural industry investment conference. The crowd was excited, and the room buzzed with voices.
"We have to acquire it this round!" Angel International's chairman spoke with great fervor at the meeting, waving his hands in excitement. He looked like the head of a pyramid scheme brainwashing people. Every attendee echoed him, raising their hands like people who had been deeply brainwashed beyond saving—or crazed celebrity fans.
Just as the chairman finished speaking, with a bang, a meteor-like object blazing as it tore through the atmosphere streaked in from beyond the sky and shot toward the top floor of Angel International Building.
A deafening sound erupted atop Angel International Building. The glass on the top floor shattered instantly with tremendous force. Yet strangely, aside from the broken glass, no one was injured, and the floor itself remained completely undamaged.
Either the building's construction quality was simply excellent—after all, good construction was hard to come by these days—or... the force of the incoming object had been controlled with extraordinary precision, to the point of absolute mastery. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for only the glass to shatter while everything else remained untouched.
"Ah..."
"Cough, cough."
"Cough, cough."
Smoke from the impact filled the room, making the attendees at the Angel International meeting cough incessantly. Some had clearly been frightened and were crouching beneath tables or in corners with their heads covered.
As the smoke dispersed, a sight appeared that left everyone present utterly incredulous.
A winged being, resembling an angel from Western legends, sat in the main swivel chair on the top floor.
"This..." Seeing this, Angel International's chairman's pupils contracted involuntarily. Countless thoughts raced through his mind, as if he had remembered something. He stepped forward to stand beside the female angel seated in the chair and said to the frightened attendees:
"Alright, alright... we'll end today's meeting here. Everyone, go back... go back..."
After all, angels were legendary beings to the people present. They had never expected to see one in person. Today had truly opened their eyes.
After everyone left, Angel International's chairman looked at the angel sitting in his seat with an expression of disbelief. He walked over, quickly dropped to one knee, lowered his head, and said excitedly:
"This is the first time I've seen a real... angel..."
"I remember that two thousand years ago, your predecessors said they would let faith in angels guide Earth." Her golden hair fell loosely over her silver armor. Her eyes were deep, her brows twitching slightly as though teasing someone like a mischievous little sprite. She had a delicate nose, an oval face, faintly red lips, and long legs crossed together, with both hands resting on the armrests. An indescribable pressure spread through the room.
Her voice was loud, as if she had her own amplifier, endlessly echoing around them. Her deep eyes were filled with confusion and incomprehension.
"With the Super God Academy here, we changed... our approach." Angel International's chairman replied with difficulty.
"Through what? Giving away money?"
Angel Yan's tone carried faint mockery and disdain.
"Investment..." Angel International's chairman looked at Angel Yan's exquisite face and answered with a slight tremble in his voice.
"Investment... How capable." The corner of Angel Yan's lips lifted slightly, carrying a trace of mockery and disdain.
"Disaster is upon you, Earth."
Angel Yan gently turned her chair, rose to her feet, and faced the shattered window. Looking into the distance, she seemed to mutter to herself.
"What happened?" Angel International's chairman hurriedly stood and asked.
"Evil has erupted, and darkness is about to descend... Justice, sigh... You are only an Earthling, not an angel." Angel Yan spoke as she walked. Thinking of justice, she seemed to realize that Earthlings did not understand angelic justice, so she stopped what she had intended to say and explained the matter directly.
"The Styx Galaxy is coming to invade you. Oh... Earth has already reached the pre-nuclear age?" Angel Yan's melancholy, deep eyes gradually turned pure white as she frantically read Earth's current information, surprise apparent in her voice.
After all, more than a thousand years ago, angels had come to Earth and eliminated the Super Gene creatures created by Carl. Back then, it had still been the age of cold weapons. In the blink of an eye, a thousand years had passed, and Earth had reached the pre-nuclear age. Its development was quite rapid!
"Who are you?"
Angel International's chairman interrupted directly.
Angel Yan also withdrew from her information-reading state. She glanced at this Earthling, then slowly turned to look at the angel emblem on the wall of the building's top floor.
"Angel Yan."
Juxia City, police station.
Jiang Ming seemed to sense something and glanced toward Angel International Building in Tianhe City. His gaze appeared to cross countless barriers, and his expression changed instantly. Jiang Ming had clearly confirmed that Angel Yan had arrived on Earth, and Deno No. 3 would certainly detect the news of an angel arriving on Earth as well.
However, Jiang Ming had no time to concern himself with that right now. Ge Xiaolun, that loser, was still in the police station! The chief had asked him to take Ge Xiaolun's statement and wait for the higher-ups who would come to collect him.
But Ge Xiaolun kept going on and on about how he had acted bravely in the face of danger. Of course Jiang Ming knew Ge Xiaolun had done that, but he should at least have called for some people! Instead, he had charged straight in without using his brain—nothing but charging ahead and throwing punches. Was he the human incarnation of a honey badger or something?
If his Super Gene had not happened to activate, he would not have ended up at the police station. He would have ended up in the morgue. He was utterly brainless, yet he was supposed to be Earth's future god. If he became a god, Earth would be finished. What future would it have left?
Du Kao would have to sing a funeral song for him. Then none of everything that happened later would have occurred.
Elsewhere,
At this moment, a vehicle with the license plate "Juxia A-35151" drove toward the police station. It carried Qiang Wei and A Jie, who had received Du Kao's orders to collect Liu Chuang and Ge Xiaolun, the two men who had landed in police custody.
"Old Du sent me to deal with these people, but I'm not good at talking people around." Qiang Wei sat in the passenger seat, her eyes fixed coldly on the streets and pedestrians racing backward beyond the window.
"It's fine. Don't say anything later. I'm good at this sort of thing." A Jie drove while speaking to Qiang Wei in the passenger seat, indicating that he had everything under control and she could rest easy.
A Jie knew perfectly well that General Du Kao had not expected Qiang Wei to be of much help. It would be good enough if she did not make things worse. With Qiang Wei's icy personality, how many ordinary people could stand her?
Still, when dealing with a group of hot-blooded young men, Qiang Wei's beauty could play a major role.
After all, since ancient times, countless heroes had fallen to honey traps. Against losers like Ge Xiaolun and Liu Chuang, a honey trap would be incredibly effective. More importantly, he had monitored Ge Xiaolun for a long time. A Jie knew exactly what Ge Xiaolun was capable of, what his personality was like, even how many times a month he did it. With Qiang Wei there, wouldn't Ge Xiaolun be easy to capture?
At the end of the day, they were all men! Hehe!
