Preparation

Just as Fu Hua was cooking for her suddenly added little ancestor, countless fleets were stationed in a star field not far from Tiancheng.

A huge circular barrier surrounds the ship, forming an invisible protective force.

There are quite a few of these ships, probably a dozen or twenty by sight. Among them, there is one that is rather special, standing out from the surrounding ships.

It's more like a ship than a warship, with two oars at the stern propelling it toward the Merlo Heavenly Court.

Inside this ship are hundreds of male angels, some piloting and others on guard.

Inside the ship's cabin, next to the bridge, the spacious cabin contained no offensive weapons, but rather an atmosphere of extreme luxury.

On the soft sofa, a handsome man lay sprawled, somewhat slovenly and unruly, perhaps best described as dissolute. A woman accompanied him.

Evil, the same kind of evil intent as a man.

The jet-black armor enveloped her body, highlighting her perfect figure, making her look like a devil, but compared to Morgana's temperament, she lacked the devil's seductive charm.

Only evil, extremely evil.

Angels have powerful genes, especially male genes. The strength of female angels was achieved during the Three Kings era when Hexi enhanced female genes by referencing the powerful genes of men.

From that time onward, female angels began to rise, which led to the powerful Merlo Heavenly Court, which is now ranked among the kings of the gods.

Hua Ye, once the Angel King of the old era, was exiled to a remote star system by Kaisha after his defeat, and has only reappeared now.

Perhaps sensing the end of Kaisha's era, he also prepared to rebuild his own Heavenly Palace Order.

The first step was to reclaim the former royal city.

"I heard that the angels are now commanded by... Yan, yes, Angel Yan. These are all little angels from who-knows-where, I don't even recognize their names," the man said casually.

Yet he could not hide his anger; an angel whose name he could not even remember had actually ascended the Angel Throne.

And he, once a member of the royal family, has fallen to such a state.

I wonder how many people still recognize him now!

"Hmph, Angel Yan is nothing more than a little girl from a few thousand years ago. There's no way she'll have any old angels who will believe in her. If it weren't for that woman Hexi's support, how could she possibly sit in that position?" the woman scoffed.

The number of old angels from Kaisha's era is dwindling, but those who remain are either powerful in combat or possess profound knowledge, such as Hexi! As for this woman...

"Ruoning, you're still so prone to jealousy. Jealousy can make a woman ugly."

As he spoke, he started to get handsy, but unfortunately, he dodged it.

Ruoning, formerly a left-wing guard, was a formidable fighter who could skillfully utilize wormhole calculations. After being replaced by Yan, she betrayed Angel Nebula and joined forces with Hua Ye. Now, she is leading Hua Ye and others in an attack on the Merlo Heavenly Court.

In her faith, the only order she recognized was Kaisha's Justice Order, but now it seems that Hua Ye's Heavenly Palace Order must be added as well.

As the saying goes, if you can't have it, you'd rather destroy it.

And so, she brought her people here, intending to destroy the Merlo Heavenly Court where she once lived.

He does have the air of a ruthless hero.

"Hua Ye, you're in such a hurry because you want to see Kaisha, but you don't even know where Kaisha is."

Her sarcastic tone, coupled with her sinister makeup, shrouded her entirely in shadow.

A ruthless and powerful figure also implies ruthlessness. The fact that Ruoning was able to bring Ruoning Hua Ye to fight against her former comrades shows how fierce and even heartless she is.

Fierce personality, cunning mind

If he were not a king, no king would tolerate such a subordinate.

However, Hua Ye is currently in a weak position and still needs Ruoning's assistance; otherwise, he wouldn't have ignored Ruoning's mockery so much.

He shrugged dismissively, besides, what she said was true.

Hua Ye is known to be fond of beautiful women, and what man wouldn't be?

"After all that, we still need to attack the Merlo Heavenly Court. There's not only Hexi there now, but also that Yan, though he's not much of a threat."

"Don't worry, leave the rest to me. But right now, we still need to get through the nine defenses outside the Merlo Heavenly Court."

As they spoke, they approached the outer star field of the Angel Nebula, where nine different defenses were set up.

Different defenses face different civilizations. What might be nine defenses for you could be eight, seven, or six for others.

The reason why the Angel Civilization ranks above all the gods is because their development involves continuous technological research targeting all known civilizations in the universe.

Here you can see the solar flare technology of the Lieyang Star, as well as the advanced technologies of various different civilizations, like a hundred flowers blooming, dazzling and magnificent.

But even the most glorious developments eventually come to an end; nothing is static.

People are, and so are things!

"You were involved in all of these technologies?" After reviewing all the research results, Book of Cang Xuan couldn't help but admire Hexi.

Some of the technologies here might not even be developed to this extent by their own Mingdu, yet Hexi has already researched them. She is like a natural researcher, tirelessly absorbing knowledge from the universe.

"As you live longer, you'll want to enrich yourself with certain things, and knowledge doesn't disappear with each new era."

"I've lived this long and I've never seen Fu Hua this amazing! (Referring specifically to scientific research)" Book of Cang Xuan muttered.

Fu Hua glanced at her briefly, then quietly said, "I'm not interested in scientific research."

"That's true, otherwise the master wouldn't have created me," the Book of Cang Xuan said with relief, further affirming its own value.

So go ahead and build!

For example...

"Fu Hua, why are you getting more and more handsome as you mature? If you keep being this handsome, even men will feel ashamed."

Fu Hua gets more and more handsome as she grows up, "..."

Should I take this as a compliment or an insult? The praise or criticism is all in one sentence. Should I say that Xiao Xuan has grown up, or that he's become better at roasting people?

Before Fu Hua could come up with an answer to this question, the Book of Cang Xuan was created again.

"Look at Sister Hexi, she has such a gentle temperament."

Hexi, who was called "older sister," was speechless.

Should I say thank you?

Speaking of which, who was it that said she was treacherous and cunning?

Fu Hua glanced casually at the Book of Cang Xuan that Ke Jin was creating, his tone indifferent.

"Xiao Xuan, I think there might be something wrong with your language system; it needs to be fixed."

Of course, at the physical level

"Um... Sister Hexi, please continue."

The trembling Book of Cang Xuan chose to back down and betrayed the enemy, turning to another's embrace.

Hexi also liked the witty Cang Xiaoxuan, so she didn't object to her getting close. Following Fu Hua's head.

"The nine defenses were designed to target different civilizations. The first solar flare might not stop Hua Ye and his group. With Ruoning present, these nine defenses are essentially useless, but they are still quite effective against the other Taotie fleets."

She wanted to reduce the enemy's fighting strength as much as possible, as she didn't want too many of the soldiers she had trained to sacrifice.

War always involves sacrifice, but there are ways to minimize it, like Fu Hua.

"I can prevent them from entering the nebula."

Fu Hua has confidence, and more importantly, the ability to achieve it.

One man against a hundred fleets

"At the very least, you are still a guest of our Merlo Heavenly Court. What host would expect a guest to exert great effort?"

In fact, Hexi didn't believe that Fu Hua had this ability. Even Hexi herself would need to consider the possibility of a hundred-strong fleet, let alone one against a hundred.

Fu Hua stopped explaining; facts speak louder than words, and she would eventually find out.

Just then, Hexi suddenly put down her teacup and stood up. "Let's go! They're here."

Who's here?

It was naturally the Taotie team led by Hua Ye. Just as Hexi said, with Ruoning's guidance, they quickly passed through the outer defenses of the Merlo Heavenly Court, and were now only a few hundred million light-years away from the Merlo Heavenly Court.

The Taotie Vanguard Ship fought its first battle, passing through nine layers of defense and arriving in Merlo Heavenly Court. They looked at a distant point of light, which was the place they were about to set foot in.

Within the Taotie Vanguard Ship, ten ships formed a small squadron, advancing gradually in pairs, slowly approaching the docking station in front of the Merlo Heavenly Court.

"It seems too quiet," said an officer in the vanguard fleet.

"We've lost a significant portion of our fleet across our nine outer defenses. Even though we have a decent number of combat personnel remaining, the angels on the other side are seriously underestimating us!" one of the operators said.

"Have the angels already left?" a soldier wondered.

The officer immediately silenced the gluttons' commotion. No matter what schemes the angels might have, they just had to crush them.

They completely disregarded the difference in strength between the two sides; this demonstrates their unwavering trust in Death God Karl, and also their trust in a particular individual.

It wasn't just Hua Ye would hide behind them, but...

A fiery respect appeared on the officer's ugly face as he looked toward a small supply ship behind his fleet, where a powerful figure sent by Death God Karl was sitting.

Stronger than them, stronger than Hua Ye, and certainly stronger than the angels in the Merlo Heavenly Court.

Unreserved trust—that's what allows them to become so arrogant and launch such a pioneering campaign.

Inside the Merlo Heavenly Court, Hexi and Fu Hua arrived at a preparation room. The space was only about 100 square meters and was empty. In the center of the empty hall, a three-dimensional map appeared before their eyes.

Hexi slowly walked to the three-dimensional space map, which displayed a star map and the attack route of the Taotie fleet, presented very clearly in front of them. Both Fu Hua and Cang Xiaoxuan were amazed by it.

"Wow, amazing! A complete 3D model! How did you do that? Aren't you afraid of losing a corner and making the model incomplete?" Cang Xiaoxuan asked in confusion.

She wasn't unfamiliar with 3D stereoscopic images, but such advanced stereoscopic images piqued Xiao Xuan's curiosity. If she could learn this technology, she could see the enemy's position and next move before the enemy even got close to Fu Hua.

This is a perfect example of seizing the initiative!

"Actually, it's nothing much. It's like a battlefield sand table, but I've expanded its area beyond those nine defenses to completely cover the Merlo Heavenly Court. Even if the enemy breaks through the nine defenses, I'll be able to detect their location immediately."

It's like guarding against insiders.

"Oh! I know about battlefield sandboxes too, but this one's radar effect seems so much better. How did you do that?" Book of Cang Xuan, ever eager to learn, asked Hexi.

Perhaps not expecting Book of Cang Xuan's obsession with this, Hexi was somewhat surprised, but she didn't intend to hide anything; after all, it was just a problem with a computer cluster.

"I'm connected to this sandbox thanks to the immense computing power of the space-based computer cluster. Even for me, it's impossible to cover such a vast area of star systems."

"A computer cluster?" Book of Cang Xuan pondered.

"This is still too much for Xiao Xuan. It's basically impossible to cover the entire detection area of a star field," Fu Hua comforted Cang Xiaoxuan by patting his head.

That's true.

However, the Book of Cang Xuan did not give up. Her current computing power could not cover such a wide area, but it could still detect small areas.

If computing power is concentrated on one point, it is possible to perform large-scale detection in a short time, such as within a radius of one kilometer, or even further.

Her processor was selected and optimized by Cang Xuan, so this capability is not a problem.

The two in the Merlo Heavenly Court chatted happily, but there was also some impatience beneath the surface.

Thirty billion light-years have passed since the Merlo Heavenly Court, yet not a single angel has been seen. Is it because they don't care about them, or because they are too arrogant?

They simply didn't believe that the other side had completely withdrawn.
