At the Angels' Home

"Can we start?"

Di Lena wore dark-gold Lieyang Armor, shield and sword in hand. She looked valiant and imposing.

"Of course." Xu Yi waved a hand, looking relaxed.

"Fight!"

Di Lena gathered strength in her legs and launched herself skyward with a Thunder Leap, shattering the ground beneath her feet.

She descended from above with a slash, a layer of searing flames emerging across the blade.

Di Lena was a third-generation god of Blazing Sun. Her genetic model was Sunlight, one of the Three Great God-Making Projects. Her physical body could withstand nuclear bombs, and she possessed immense strength.

Of course, that was the program's data setting. Once the Dark Dimension was shut down and the Gene Engine disconnected, she would still be weak enough for ordinary people to bully.

That was the weakness—or flaw—of Tech Gods.

The power of Tech Gods lay in their connection between genes and the Dark Dimension. Once they lost that support, their strength would be drastically reduced.

That was also why Di Lena, clearly the god with the strongest destructive power in the Known Universe, always suffered setbacks before Styx Void Weapons.

The Void could block the Dark Dimension, equivalent to pulling the network cable while someone was online.

With Xu Yi's cultivation, dealing with Di Lena was effortless, but he had no intention of ending the battle so quickly.

So he shifted slightly and nimbly avoided Di Lena's slash.

When her first strike failed, Di Lena's sword erupted like a raging gale, slashing toward him at astonishing speed.

With every swing, Flame Sword Qi carrying light energy tore through the air and split the earth in two.

In just a few breaths, the ground had been blasted into a mangled mess.

"I'll see how long you can keep dodging."

Di Lena leaped into the sky again and swung her sword over a dozen times in succession. Each strike released a crescent-shaped sword qi. In the end, more than a dozen streams of sword qi attacked Xu Yi from all directions, sealing off every possible route of escape.

Seeing this, Xu Yi gently extended one hand. Invisible power rippled through the Void like water, freezing the Flame Sword Qi in midair. He clenched his palm, and the sword qi shattered into specks of light.

"Not bad."

Di Lena's gaze sharpened, but she did not think much of it.

She raised her slender right arm, gathering Lieyang Energy Balls in her palm. Their energy was extremely powerful, compressed to roughly the size of footballs.

"Go!"

The Energy Balls flew toward Xu Yi like tracking missiles. Xu Yi smiled faintly and waved one hand, controlling their trajectories with his mind and sending them back.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Caught off guard, Di Lena was bombarded by her own Energy Balls. Her hair stood on end, smoke poured from her mouth, and she coughed incessantly.

"No way, are you cheating?"

Di Lena patted her armor. The Energy Balls did not hurt when they struck her, but they had still left her looking thoroughly disheveled.

"I heard you're the Sun Goddess and possess the power to control the sun, but that display was a little underwhelming."

Xu Yi spoke calmly, still utterly composed.

"He's so strong. He casually neutralized Leina's attacks."

Qiang Wei glanced sideways as she watched, continuously analyzing whether she herself could have faced those attacks so easily.

After all, whether in speed or strength, third-generation god Leina was beyond the reach of Super Warriors below the third generation.

Even if Qiang Wei could contend with her for a while through skill, she definitely would not be Leina's match in a prolonged battle.

"Underwhelming? That's because this goddess can't activate maximum energy output on Earth. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have anywhere to dodge." Di Lena retorted.

"So the environment is affecting your output?" Xu Yi asked.

"Of course." Di Lena replied proudly.

"I don't like taking advantage of people either. Otherwise, you wouldn't accept your defeat."

Xu Yi waved his hand again. With Spatial Teleportation, the two of them vanished from Earth in an instant.

"?" Qiang Wei widened her eyes at the two people who had disappeared into thin air.

"Qiang Wei, where did Leina go?"

Du Kao's voice came through her earpiece, sounding rather anxious.

Leina was the Sun Goddess. If anything happened to her on Earth, Pan Zhen would never let Earth off.

"I don't know. They disappeared into thin air. But don't worry, there probably won't be any accidents." Qiang Wei answered.

"Probably?" Du Kao said.

The Universe, an unknown starfield.

When Di Lena came back to her senses, she was already floating in the Void of space. Darkness surrounded her, with countless stars scattered about and no shortage of suns.

"Where is this?" Di Lena steadied herself and found a meteorite to stand upon in space.

At this stage, she had not activated flight capabilities and could not travel through space.

"I don't know. I just teleported us somewhere at random," Xu Yi said.

"At random? What kind of Superpower is that? One second we were on Earth, and the next we were in the Universe?" Di Lena said.

"Don't worry about what power it is. This is the Universe. You can do whatever you want and unleash your full strength," Xu Yi said.

"Hahaha, true. On Earth, I was too constrained to let loose. Now this is this goddess's home ground."

"Solar Storm!"

"Flare Bombardment!"

Di Lena swung her Lieyang Longsword, and a slash thousands of meters long tore through the Void. Scarlet flames radiated through the entire space in its wake, instantly melting all meteorites within several thousand meters.

Xu Yi stood at the center of the storm, and one could imagine how immense the energy impact was.

Yet as always, the Solar Storm was blocked when it reached Xu Yi, unable to cause even the slightest harm.

"Activating Cosmic War Mode!"

Golden light overflowed from Di Lena's entire body, and terrifying solar energy surged forth.

Under the effects of the Stellar Drive Formula, she raised a hand and produced a fireball several thousand meters in diameter, then continuously hurled dozens more.

With such firepower, she could likely eradicate all life on a planet in less than a quarter of an hour.

In the entire Universe, only Di Lena could squander energy so relentlessly.

"Not bad firepower," Xu Yi praised.

"It's not over yet!"

"Art is explosion!"

Di Lena shouted the cringe-worthy line, and the dozens of kilometer-wide fireballs surrounding Xu Yi exploded at once. Surging energy devoured everything, destroyed everything, and incinerated everything.

Watching the blazing sea of explosions before her, Di Lena realized she had gotten carried away. She could not help saying, "Oh no, did I hit too hard? Did I blow that guy to death?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Xu Yi, you're not dead, are you?" Di Lena shouted toward the sea of flames.

But no one answered. There was no response.

Meanwhile, on a planet not far from this star system.

Angel Civilization, Angel City.

Within the Sacred Angel Hall, symbol of justice, Keisha, the Angel King seated upon the throne, suddenly opened her eyes.

Just now, she had sensed that some of the energy from a sun near the Angel Nebula had been siphoned away. Though it was only a small amount and did no real harm, she had still noticed it.

Unless she approved it, no one in the entire Angel Nebula could mobilize Stellar Level energy.

Moreover, the other party's method of extracting stellar energy differed from Angel algorithms.

"Who could it be?" Keisha pondered as her figure silently vanished.
