Honkai Descends!

The City of Angels was not originally located on the planet Merlo, nor was it called the Merlo Heavenly Court, nor was it ruled by female angels. Instead, it was Heavenly Palace City that was once ruled by male angels.

At that time, female angels had a low status and their lifespan was not even enough to reach a thousand years. They could only be used as playthings for men, and this situation became even more serious after Hua Ye inherited the Angel King.

Later, the female angels, unwilling to be subservient to men, launched a rebellion. Finally, led by the three kings, they completely overthrew the Heavenly Palace Order ruled by Hua Ye and established the Justice Order of the Holy Kaisha.

Holy Kaisha was not directly called Holy; she was once only one of the Three Kings Heavenly Blade King.

Heavenly Blade King, Heavenly Base King, Heavenly Revelation King

With the combined strength of the three kings, the Angel Civilization once flourished, ranking above all the gods and revered with a holy name.

Ten thousand years ago, the era of the Three Kings ended when the Heavenly Revelation King Liang Bing, who is now the Demon Queen Morgana, betrayed the Angel Civilization, but a more prosperous period began.

The Justice Order was also introduced during this period and continues to this day.

The sudden departure of Holy Kaisha did indeed dampen the morale of the Angel Civilization. As the saying goes, without a leader, all sorts of villains began to stir, especially the Sky Scum led by Hua Ye, the male angel whose rule was overthrown by Kaisha 20,000 years ago.

By the way, "Sky Scum" is the common term used by all female angels to refer to them.

Keisha may have already foreseen the future developments, which is why she ordered the Heavenly King He Xi to guard the Heavenly Court of Merlo. When Yan returns to Angel City to ascend the throne, he will inevitably meet with this king.

It goes without saying which one has more prestige: a king or a crown prince. If Tianji King Hexi wanted to seize the throne, he wouldn't need to put in much effort; he could simply ascend the throne directly.

Although Yan felt that person wouldn't do that, it's always good to have a backup plan.

"So you're planning to have Fu Hua help you deal with that Heavenly King He Xi, and establish your authority?" Cang Xuanzhi looked at the vast universe, his expression slightly excited, yet he didn't forget to defend his own immortal.

"No, matters within our angelic realm can only be resolved by myself; it is my duty as king." Yan, waving her pure white wings, continued to lead the way, unwavering in the slightest.

At this moment, they have already left Earth by hundreds of millions of light-years and are heading to a transit station that the Angel Civilization once set up in this area. They can use this transit station to quickly reach the outer perimeter of the Angel City Merlo Heavenly Court.

The principle is the same as wormhole travel.

While the Angel Civilization's technology for wormhole transmission is not as advanced as Morgana's, it has its own research efforts. It will continue to study strategically important technologies such as the transfer station and the teleportation gate on the Heavenly Blade Seven.

"If that's the case, why did you make us come along?"

"On the one hand, it's because you were certain you would come; on the other hand, it's because of Queen Kaisha's orders."

"Tch, as if you were sure we'd come looking for ourselves. But why did she give that order in the end?" Book of Cang Xuan scoffed, his face full of resentment.

She hated that Angel Yan knew Fu Hua's ways so well, but she also knew that now was not the time to throw a tantrum.

"I don't know. Queen Kaisha only told me to bring you to the Merlo Heavenly Court, but didn't say what to do after that."

"You listen to your queen so much, huh!" Book of Cang Xuan said Yin Yang.

The subtext seems to be saying, "You're just a good baby who'll never grow up!"

Unfortunately, Angel Yan ignored the Book of Cang Xuan's mockery, because they had arrived...

"After passing through this portal, we will be directly on the outskirts of Angel City, and then it will still be a journey."

This was said to Fu Hua.

Fu Hua nodded, acknowledging Angel Yan's suggestion and telling her that they could continue forward.

The portal wasn't actually heavily guarded, but because it wasn't heavily guarded, it was built in a more secluded location and even had an identity verification system.

In fact, as the main city of the Angel Civilization, the Merlo Heavenly Court does not allow outsiders to enter. The identification system is also to distinguish angels from other beings.

Once someone is found to have forcibly broken through, the portal here will be destroyed directly, playing a very important role in protecting the main city.

So here's the question: how can Fu Hua, who isn't an angel, and the Book of Cang Xuan pass through?

In fact, as long as they have Angel Yan's authorization, they can pass through. After all, Angel Yan has already obtained Kaisha's authorization and is temporarily acting as the Angel King.

The Angel King's authority is the highest level in the entire system, but before Yan could do so, Fu Hua and the other person had already passed through the detection gate, and the gate did not react at all.

This surprised all the angels. How did they get here?

"Hmph, passing through such a simple detection gate is easy, isn't it?" The Book of Cang Xuan began to gloat again.

Angel Yan's eyes darkened, and she asked slowly, "Do you have even more advanced technology?"

The voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of deliberate imitation, sounding deep and soft.

"Of course, my system contains a lot of technology from previous civilizations. Apart from some daily life programs, the rest of the system is filled with this data, all so that you Fu Hua, can live a better life... Wait, why does this voice sound a bit strange?"

Belatedly, she looked towards the sound, only to find it wasn't Fu Hua at all! It was clearly Yan, whom she disliked.

"I see"

Only...

What was the pre-civilization era?

Angel Yan noticed the word but couldn't connect it to anything else, so she could only suppress it for now and study it properly after these matters had passed.

"You..." Book of Cang Xuan was furious.

Fu Hua reached out and placed her hand on her head, gently stroking it to soothe her.

"Alright, Xiao Xuan, if you concentrate a little more, you won't be able to confuse my voice with hers."

Fu Hua and Angel Yan's voices are actually quite easy to distinguish. Even if Yan tries to imitate them, she cannot replicate the composure that Fu Hua has gained over the years.

How could Book of Cang Xuan, who had been by her side for so long, not tell the difference? Perhaps it was because Book of Cang Xuan wasn't paying attention, or perhaps there was another reason.

Fu Hua understood, but didn't expose it. She simply made her movements even gentler, letting the Book of Cang Xuan cause trouble.

"Ugh~ Fu Hua, she bullied me."

Upon hearing Fu Hua's voice, Book of Cang Xuan seemed to have finally found someone to complain to. He pounced on her chest and tearfully complained. Not content with that, he also pointed at Yan with his short little hand, his accusation full of accusation.

Fu Hua sighed and gave Angel Yan an apologetic smile. The latter shook her head, as she was partly to blame.

"Little Xuan is also mischievous."

"Hmph~" Refusing to admit it to the death.

However, in the mind of the Book of Cang Xuan, it was a completely different scene.

—I didn't expect Fu Hua to have changed so much! Is she still that blockhead? She's so good at spoiling people! How come I never noticed how gentle Fu Hua was before?! Now I'm even embarrassed to tease her anymore, waaaah! (rolls around)

She has a lot of inner monologues, but she still needs to maintain an air of authority on the outside.

"I remember that Cang Xuan set you up as a living doll. Why did you enter those data?" Fu Hua asked in confusion.

"Life and technology are inseparable! What if you get lured away by unscrupulous people because you don't understand these things?" Book of Cang Xuan said righteously.

All the angels, including Angel Yan, silently mourned in their hearts, thinking how pitiful those kidnappers were!

What does technology have to do with being kidnapped? Although she wasn't afraid, Fu Hua couldn't help but wonder.

But he still nodded solemnly.

"I see"

Angel Yan kicked it away. "Where did this person come from? Is he poisonous?!"

One is spouting nonsense with a straight face, while the other gives such a serious answer. You two didn't plan this together, did you?

I feel that if we let them continue talking, they will be the first to be poisoned. So, let's hurry to the Merlo Heavenly Court!

"Time is of the essence; we must set off as soon as possible," Angel Yan said solemnly.

The time spent in the portal is actually not long. Even if Wormhole Transport Technology is used, the teleportation is only the time it takes to travel from one point to another.

But time is the least valuable thing to them.

At this moment, there was no relaxed atmosphere in the Angel City of Merlo Heavenly Court.

After losing contact with the Holy Kaisha, the angelic community was thrown into chaos for a time, but this chaos did not last long until an order was issued, with the Angel Yan temporarily taking over the command of the Angel Clan.

Some angels may disagree, but the orders of the Holy Kaisha are absolute, and they will not disobey. From this perspective, the hierarchy of the Angel Clan is extremely strict.

"And they're incredibly obedient," Book of Cang Xuan couldn't help but remark, feeling a strange sense of ownership and pet relationship.

"Absolute obedience to orders is the most fundamental principle for a warrior of Holy Kaisha."

"Cut!"

Neither denying nor admitting

Because the Book of Cang Xuan understands that this is the duty of a warrior.

Absolute obedience

However, she would never let Fu Hua become a warrior like them; that would be too rigid and boring. The current Fu Hua is much better—gentle and alluring!

Cang Xiaoxuan, aren't you getting a little too cocky?

"In another 50,000 light-years, we'll reach the Merlo Heavenly Court."

This also signifies that Fu Hua and her companions' journey is coming to an end.

Fu Hua's journey is coming to an end, and the journey of Shrek Academy and his companions, far away on the Douluo Continent, is also about to conclude.

He traveled far from home, seeking strength, and endured hardships.

Countless arduous journeys have worn away their naivety, leaving only an even more resolute and courageous will.

Protect your family, defend your home, and save your loved ones.

This is a battle of love and hate, a pursuit that lasts until death.

It's not about right or wrong, it's about who has the last laugh.

It's just a matter of the strong ruling and the losers being condemned!

War is inherently cruel, and death has long been commonplace. On the vast plains, blood seeps into the soil, staining it crimson, and corpses can pile up into a mountain. But on this plain, there are not many horrific corpses, only a faint white powder. This situation is especially evident in front of Jialing Pass.

This is no ordinary war; the soldiers are all composed of Soul Master —ranged attackers, melee fighters, support fighters, and agile warriors.

Countless dazzling Soul Skill bloomed on the battlefield, causing extremely tragic casualties.

The battlefield, which should have been so brutal, was now eerily silent, with only the sound of the wind audible.

The breeze turned into a hurricane in everyone's ears, and beads of sweat slid down their temples, but they dared not wipe them away. Only the still-cold weapons in their hands could bring a trace of coolness, but this coolness was quickly taken away.

Red, a red more vibrant than blood, reflected on everyone's faces.

Both the armies of the Spirit Hall Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire remained silent, watching each other from behind the wall.

Wall?

This is a tall and dangerous wall of fire, composed entirely of Lie Yan. It is extremely hot and beautiful, but also very dangerous. Any ordinary Soul Master who tries to pass through it will be instantly turned to ashes.

Even some high-level Soul Master could not escape it, but inside this wall, there were still several figures moving about, their fists and feet clashing, their Soul Skill fighting, emitting earth-shattering power, yet they were still suppressed within this wall of fire.

Outside the wall of fire, Dai Mubai and the others gazed solemnly at the horizon. Where the high wall met the sky, a crimson figure sat leisurely.

As if isolated from the world, transcending this realm, her red figure stood alone above the rest of the world.

Her fire was even more malevolent and extraordinary.

Even Ma Hongjun's Phoenix Flame cannot compare to it.

Even though they were all Titled Douluo of level 95 or above at this moment, the combined strength of the six of them was still insufficient to contend with him.

The original eight members of Shrek Academy have been reduced to six after Fu Hua left and Zhu Zhuqing disappeared.

Both Shrek Academy and the Heaven Dou Empire searched for Zhu Zhuqing after she suddenly disappeared, but her traces seemed to have been erased, completely vanishing from the Douluo Continent.

Even after Tang San inherited the Sea God Godhood, he still couldn't find any trace of Zhu Zhuqing on the Douluo Continent.

Thus, they were forced into a final showdown, and the Spirit Hall Empire launched a general offensive.

The battle was fierce, and the disparity in strength was enormous. If it weren't for the Hidden Weapon left behind by Tang San within the army, the battle would have been completely one-sided.

The Spirit Hall Empire has far more Soul Master than the Heaven Dou Empire. Even if they were to form an army using the most ordinary low-level Soul Master, they could still drag the Heaven Dou Empire down.

If low-level warfare cannot achieve results, then we can only rely on high-level combat power.

However, even with their superior combat strength, they could not compare with the Spirit Hall Empire, especially after Empress Bibi Dong had already ascended to the Rakshasa Divine Seat. If Tang San and the others had returned in time, their Heaven Dou Empire would have no choice but to accept defeat.

For them, failure meant annexation or death.

"What a boring contest! All they fight for is this little bit of land. In the end, they're trapped on the chessboard, at the mercy of the other players."

Sitting atop the high wall, Himeko was utterly bored. She looked down at the army below, which was trembling with fear, and then at the two people fighting within the domain she had created. She yawned listlessly.

For someone of her strength, the fight between Tang San and Bibi Dong was like a three-year-old child's squabble—nothing to worry about, and could simply be considered a pre-meal pastime.

For Himeko, her gaze had never lingered on the Douluo Continent; the only one who could make her stop was that one person.

Unfortunately, that person is traveling all over the world.

By the time she gets back, things will be almost over here.

"Hmm~ Interesting stories are definitely better shared; watching a play alone is so boring."

As Himeko changed from sitting to standing, a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes—a very wicked kind of amusement.

Her long, crimson hair flew freely, and her proud figure was wrapped in a crimson robe that split from her thighs to her ankles, forming a gorgeous cheongsam.

So beautiful, so passionate

She is fire, and fire is her.

The world was dyed with her color.

And this land and sky were indeed stained with her colors.

At this moment...

"Honkai!"

P. S.: Oh my god, I wrote two chapters, both trying to match the title, but neither of them fits. I originally planned to write one chapter straight to the end, but after looking at it, it's a bit too much. If I write one chapter straight to the end, it will be more than 10,000 words.

I might as well just end it here; I guess the next chapter will fit the title I originally designed.

Speaking of which, I went back to read your comments again, and how should I put it! Suddenly, a surge of motivation welled up inside me, like the motivation to keep writing. A novel of 500,000 words, with over 4,000 comments, I feel pretty pretty amazing.

Actually, I always thought my novels were boring and dull, and I didn't think many people would complain about them. After all, I'm a very serious person (no arguments allowed). I really didn't know how to make them silly, but seeing more than four thousand comments made me quite happy.

PS: Also, it only lasts a few chapters. The story of Douluo World is just so-so. There's really nothing good in the middle. It goes straight to the final battle. It shouldn't feel abrupt. I'm also trying to design the ending so that it doesn't feel too rushed.
