"Sacred Left Wing, we still don't know her main purpose for coming here. Your Highness and the Angel Civilization can make contact with her and sound out their intentions."
"Your Highness can arrange your own schedule now. Would you like to meet the angels first, or go to Xiong Bing Lian? After all, your current combat power is about on par with Sun of Light Lena's. There aren't many people on Earth—or even in the universe—who can hurt you."
"Okay, then let's go see Xiong Bing Lian first. I still don't know Angel Yan's exact location, and even your Deno Three can't track her." Su Xinghe was stating a fact. Deno Three sounded impressive, but compared to the supercomputers of a true God-level Civilization, it was practically garbage.
And relying on his own power to calculate her location would take a long time. He might as well meet Xiong Bing Lian first and look for a chance to fight Lena, to see how strong he was now.
"Safe travels, Your Highness. You're welcome to visit me when you have time. You can use the Gate of Time and Space to meet the scientists of the Shenhe Civilization. Their technology could help you. Of course, in some areas, the angels have already surpassed the Shenhe Civilization."
He paid Ryze no mind. He would come back when the time was right. If he didn't get involved in some kind of story with the Three Angel Kings while he was here, he'd be letting himself down.
Super Seminary, classroom.
Ge Xiaolun and the others were watching the news about a crocodile that had appeared in Tianhe City that morning. As young people of the twenty-first century, this was the first time they'd encountered anything like it. Though Qiangwei had told him, when she invited him here, that they'd eventually be fighting aliens, he'd never actually believed aliens existed.
"Are we really here to fight aliens?"
"What else did you think?" Just as Ge Xiaolun was muttering to himself while staring at the screen, Su Xinghe suddenly appeared beside him.
"Holy crap, what's going on? Xinghe, what kind of superpower is that? How did you suddenly appear in the classroom?" Ge Xiaolun jumped at the sight of Su Xinghe appearing out of nowhere. Everyone else except Qiangwei and Lena stared at him curiously. Their superpowers didn't include suddenly appearing out of thin air.
"Micro Wormhole. At last, we've got a Super Soldier with decent abilities. Introduce yourself. You're not on my list." Lena was the one in charge here, so she stepped forward first. She didn't have any data on Su Xinghe, but figured he was probably an unregistered gene like Qilin, the Shenhe Sniper.
"Hello, I'm Su Xinghe. My gene is Divine River's Lord. As for my identity, I'm about the same as you—the heir to the Shenhe Civilization."
"You nearly scared this Goddess to death! You're from the Shenhe Royal Family? Pan Zhen told me they're very mysterious. My grandpa's the only one in all of Lieyang who knows much about them. The Shenhe Civilization may have fallen, but its core forces are still around. Are you really from the Shenhe Royal Family?"
"You don't look much older than me. Does Shenhe really have such young members of its Royal Family?" Lena stared at Su Xinghe in disbelief, as if she'd discovered some priceless treasure.
Ge Xiaolun was completely baffled. When had his roommate become some kind of royal? And one who sounded incredibly powerful, at that. Why hadn't he known? Or, for that matter, why was an alien studying at a university on Earth? He'd thought having superpowers was already pretty amazing. Now it seemed he was still just a loser.
Correction: a superpowered loser, the number-one loser in the universe.
"There's nothing impossible about it. As for why I'm still this age, I don't know either. But when I awakened my Super Gene, I met the Space Principal. Maybe he knows why."
"Great, we've got a big shot here. Third Generation Super Soldier, spatial abilities—and given how powerful the Shenhe Civilization was, you should have your own engine. Come on, let's fight and see how strong you are." Lena looked eager to take Su Xinghe on. Earth didn't have anyone else at this level. Apart from her, Xiong Bing Lian was a bunch of misfits. Even Qiangwei was only half-trained.
"Just what I had in mind." He'd come here to fight Lena. Since she'd suggested it first, he'd graciously agree to bully—er, fight her.
"Whoosh!" In an instant, they were both suited up in armor and outside on the plaza. The others followed to watch the excitement. It was their first time seeing aliens fight.
"King Armor? You must be rich. Not something a country girl like me can compete with. But when it comes to fighting, you might not be a match for this Goddess." Lena couldn't help feeling a little envious of the King Armor Su Xinghe wore. As the Lieyang Main God, she still used equipment from the Black Armor Series. It wasn't that Lieyang couldn't forge King Armor; they just weren't willing to spend the resources, and besides, she didn't need it right now.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Su Xinghe knew that if they fought hand to hand, he wouldn't stand a chance against Emperor Lena. They were about the same age, but he'd lived on Earth without any real training. Lena was different. As Lieyang's Main God, she'd been taught close-quarters combat by Pan Zhen from a very young age.
"Cheat!"
[Activating Divine River One Engine. Defining target: Emperor Lena.] [Target is a Shenhe life-form. Compatible with Third Generation God Body.] [Gene Model: Sun of Light] [Activating Anti-Light Energy, Anti-Dark Energy, Anti-Void, and Anti-Bioenergy. Creating an Absolute Vacuum!]
"Gene Engine? You're cheating! You even have Anti-Void? Isn't that Galaxy Power's specialty?" Lena looked at the barrier around her without a trace of panic. She'd expected Su Xinghe to have a Gene Engine, but she hadn't expected it to be this powerful—not to mention having Anti-Void.
As the Main God of the Lieyang Civilization, she knew that among the Three Great God-Making Projects, only Galaxy Power had the Anti-Void ability.
[Deactivating.]
"Nothing unusual about that. If the Shenhe Civilization could develop something like Galaxy Power, then it could develop another one, too. I came here today to see this so-called Three Great God-Making Projects. I'll leave them to you now. Train them well. They have a bright future."
He'd wanted to test his strength against Lena, but the result had clearly disappointed him. In the end, he decided to go find Angel Yan instead. The computational power of her Heaven's Blade Seven would definitely be formidable.
"Aren't you going to stay and help this Goddess? They're all still a bunch of deadbeats: liberal arts students, technical college students, farmers, security officers, and gangsters. What a mess. If we really end up fighting someday, we'll have to rely on actual gods." Lena spoke softly.
Honestly, even though she was part of one of the Three Great God-Making Projects, she still didn't think much of the people in Xiong Bing Lian. She didn't even know what A Jie was thinking.
