Yun Zhao followed the navigation toward Huang Village in a leisurely, swaying drive. Just as he was about to reach his destination, he sensed that something was wrong.
A large armed force had appeared ahead, seemingly sealing off the area.
"Was there a scene like this in the original story?"
Yun Zhao frowned, utterly confused.
Just then, a middle-aged man in military uniform walked up to his car and lightly knocked on the window.
Yun Zhao lowered the window and asked in confusion, "What is it?"
"Hello, Mr. Yun Zhao. My name is Du Kao. Please get out of the car. I have a few questions for you."
"Du Kao?"
Good grief, what is that old geezer Du Kao doing outside Huang Village? Could those people monitoring me have tipped him off? No, wait. There are so many armed forces here too. What, is this Du Kao planning to play the 'dagger revealed from the map' trick on me, trying to capture me in Huang Village? Hearing his inner thoughts, quite a few goddesses turned their gazes toward the area outside Huang Village.
While Yun Zhao was muttering inwardly, he had already opened the door and gotten out.
"What do you want to ask me?"
The moment he finished speaking, Du Kao waved his hand, and seven or eight soldiers holding steel rifles immediately surrounded them.
Their dark muzzles pointed at Yun Zhao.
Seeing this, Yun Zhao's expression turned cold. He looked down at Du Kao and asked, "What do you mean by this?"
"Mr. Yun Zhao, don't misunderstand. We received reliable information that you were coming to Huang Village to meet with an extremely dangerous individual."
"To prevent you from doing anything that might endanger Hua Xia, we had no choice but to take these measures. I hope you will cooperate."
"Heh. Reliable information? Where did you hear that?"
Yun Zhao froze. What the hell was this supposed to mean?
Where had this so-called reliable information come from? And what did they mean by saying he was meeting an extremely dangerous individual?
How did he not know about it himself?
Wait. Could the extremely dangerous individual he mentioned be Morgana? Was Deno 3 really that impressive now? It could even detect the whereabouts of Morgana, a Fourth Generation God? No, that did not make sense. This had never happened in the original story. Could his appearance have caused the people monitoring him to deduce his objective, after which they discovered something through Deno 3? Although he was puzzled, Du Kao's actions had already thoroughly displeased him.
"What? Du Kao, are you provoking me?"
"Shut up and behave!"
One of the soldiers shouted angrily, then pressed the steel rifle in his hands against Yun Zhao.
Bang! Yun Zhao's expression turned cold as tremendous force erupted, directly sending the soldier flying.
Although the impact was considerable, the soldier was not seriously injured.
"What are you trying to do?"
The others immediately grew wary when they saw this.
Yun Zhao could not be bothered with them. Instead, he stared sharply at Du Kao and continued asking, "Are you Deno Remnants provoking me?"
He had called them Deno Remnants as a gesture of consideration toward Earth.
Seeing his attitude, especially after hearing him say "Deno Remnants," Du Kao's expression turned cold once again.
"This is Hua Xia. I am a citizen of Hua Xia. I have the duty and obligation to guard against and suppress all dangerous elements."
"If you insist on calling this a provocation, I have nothing to say."
"Oh? Is that so? Are the Deno Remnants feeling bold now? Provoking the angels?"
Just then, Angel Yan and Azhui arrived.
Wearing Silver Armor and holding a Flame Sword, Angel Yan looked down at Du Kao from above with disdain.
"Angels? Why are you here?"
Du Kao was slightly startled.
"Why are we here? Isn't it because of you? You provoked the future Male King of my Angel Civilization and even deployed armed forces to threaten him. Do you Deno Remnants want to be wiped out completely?"
The instant Yan's voice fell, powerful Dark Energy erupted from her body and directly bore down on Du Kao.
Caught off guard by the suppression, Du Kao was forced down into a seated position on the ground.
"Are you trying to start a war between the angels and Earth?"
"You Deno Remnants don't represent Earth."
Yun Zhao sneered. A horizontal blade appeared in his hand and pressed against Du Kao's throat.
"I allowed you to arrange people to monitor me. That was already my concession. I never expected you to be so ungrateful and even try to force such a label onto me."
"Do you think I, Yun Zhao, am easy to bully? Or do you think that having the Super Soldier Company means you are strong enough to establish yourselves in the Known Universe?"
"A bunch of stray dogs whose planets have all been destroyed. Earth kindly took you in, yet you turned around and tried to represent Earth?"
"Are you worthy?"
His words made the surrounding Earth soldiers frown. They looked at Du Kao, then at Yun Zhao.
They understood some of what he was saying, but faced with the current situation, they had no idea what they were supposed to do.
"Lord Yun Zhao, please calm down."
At that moment, a wormhole appeared out of thin air, and a bald old man walked out.
With a smile covering his face, he introduced himself, "Hello, Lord Yun Zhao. My name is Ryze, dean of the Earth branch of the Super God Academy."
"You have been on Earth for some time now, and we know that you harbor no ill will toward Earth. On the contrary, you have even helped Earth before."
"Today's matter is just a misunderstanding. The people below were ignorant and made too much of it."
"Old Du was simply too worried about Earth's safety, so he acted somewhat too aggressively. He was at fault for neglecting and offending you."
"Allow this old man to apologize to you on his behalf. We will immediately withdraw the people monitoring you. How about we let this matter end here?"
Hearing Ryze's words, Yun Zhao curled his lips and shook his head. "How about no."
"You monitored me, created such a huge commotion, and randomly slapped labels on me. You think a light apology is enough to let this go?"
"Do you think the blade in my hand isn't sharp enough? Why don't you test it?"
Yun Zhao moved the horizontal blade in his hand forward slightly. The sharp tip cut through the skin at Du Kao's throat, and bright red blood slowly seeped out.
Seeing this, Ryze's heart sank slightly.
"Then what will it take for you to let this matter go?"
"He provoked me, didn't he? And I asked him twice. Since he is so confident in himself as one of the Deno Remnants, I would very much like to cross blades with all of you Deno Remnants."
"Let's see where his confidence comes from."
Hearing this, Du Kao's expression changed drastically. He had no idea that Yun Zhao had such a deep connection with the angels. If he had known, he absolutely would not have done what he did today.
Cross blades with the angels? Not to mention the Deno Remnants—even if you asked the Super God Academy, would they dare?
Put simply, Du Kao had acted so recklessly because he believed Yun Zhao was merely an unaffiliated Super Soldier with no background or backing. The Deno Remnants had no need to fear him.
"Lord Yun Zhao, you jest. It was only a minor misunderstanding. There is no need to take things this far."
"How about this? I see that you are already a Second Generation Peak Super Soldier. We will offer some Third Generation Upgrade Resources as compensation. How does that sound?"
"Hmph. Do you think the angels lack such resources?"
Yan snorted coldly, her gaze toward Ryze filled with disdain.
"Of course the angels do not lack such resources. This is simply compensation. It was only a minor misunderstanding, and there is truly no need to make such a fuss over it. What do you think, Lord Yun Zhao?"
"Not enough."
Yun Zhao calmly uttered two words.
