"As for now, we can do something else—go look for Lena. Once they've finished using her, they'll abandon her. And if we happen to run into Pan Zhen or someone like that, we can take the opportunity to get something out of them."
"I'm not especially fond of Pan Zhen. He looks honest and simple, but he's actually quite calculating. Lieyang had a lot to do with what happened this time, so they could use a little pressure." Xinyue stood up from the sofa. Although she belonged to the Skybase Legion and her first allegiance was to He Xi, Holy Keisha was the Angel Queen recognized by all. Now that their own Queen had been schemed against, and they knew who was responsible, they naturally wanted to vent their anger.
They couldn't beat Carl, so they had to pick on someone weaker. Xinyue might not be able to beat Pan Zhen on Lieyang Star, but here on Earth, she could at least give a third-generation Pan Zhen a beating while she had the upper hand early on. Even if something went wrong, Su Xinghe was there with her.
"Holy Keisha is dead. From now on, everywhere on Earth except Huaxia is our new home. And there's a bunch of kids on Earth who'll be part of our big Demon family, too. They're all one of us. Ato, find someone to take care of the people down there on Earth."
"Queen, Angel Yan has inherited Holy Keisha's position, and Su Xinghe and the Angels' elite forces are still on Earth. Shouldn't we be careful?" Ato walked behind her, feeling a little uneasy. Holy Keisha might be out of the picture, but the Angel Civilization was still powerful. And then there were He Xi and Su Xinghe, both on Keisha's level.
"Don't worry. With Holy Keisha out of the picture, our war with the Angels is over, too. Give the brothers some time off. Tell them to be careful and not cause trouble in Huaxia. Their Queen's taking a break, too. Go have fun."
"Hold on. The Queen's getting changed. Are you all coming with her?"
"Ato, I think the Queen's falling in love, but not with you." Nightmare watched Morgana walk away and casually dropped the remark. Almost everyone in the Demon Legion knew that Sword Demon Ato had feelings for Morgana. They just kept quiet about it—saying anything would get them beaten up.
"If the Queen loved me, she wouldn't be my Queen." That just went to show what a devoted demon Ato was.
"Ato, you don't need to come with me. Help me locate Xiong Bing Lian. The Three Great God-Making Projects could lead to unexpected developments in the future. As for Su Xinghe, I'll go see him myself. And don't worry—if he really wanted to attack me, a hundred of you could charge him at once and still get cut down by his Sacred Domain in one stroke. That kid has everything Keisha has, and even things she doesn't. It's enough to make me jealous. He has to be mine."
"If I can get him under my thumb, I'll have control of Holy Keisha's Armory and the Great Clock. How wonderful. So don't interfere with my plans. What do you think of this outfit?" Liangbing put on the brown coat she'd worn last time, shedding Morgana's demonic getup. Ato stared, transfixed. In all these thousands of years, he'd only seen Liangbing like this a handful of times.
"Queen, you look beautiful."
"Beauty is a demon's nature. All right, there's a girl in Xiong Bing Lian named Qiangwei who seems to have the Space-Time Gene, right? It may be incomplete, but that'll do. Find her. She's not as good as Su Xinghe, but it'd be best if she joined us and developed here. After all, Su Xinghe has the Shenhe Civilization backing him, which makes some things difficult to handle."
"Besides, He Xi got to him first, making him her guardian. I still don't know what the Shenhe Emperor and Empress saw in her back then. Never mind. I'm leaving. Keep an eye on things here."
"Liangbing, you dare show your face around here? I remember you had an agreement with the Heavenly Base King. You deceived her—aren't you afraid she'll come over and kill you?" Liangbing had barely appeared when Xinyue spotted her. Angel Leng and Su Xinghe had come along, too. Like Liangbing, they were all dressed in plain clothes.
"Xinyue, we're all from the same era. I even saved you once, remember? We're all Angels. All these years, I've only been fighting against Keisha. You know that, right? In the end, her Order of Justice would restrict the development of the Angel Civilization—and even the development of the universe. Besides, in all these years of war, the Angels who died were all mortals recruited into our ranks. Didn't your Great Judgment kill plenty of mortals, too?"
"So this is perfectly normal. There's no need for us to be enemies. Anyway, now that Big Sister's out of the picture, I'm sure some idiots will start making trouble. I don't feel like dealing with the Demon Legion for now, so you'll have to handle them yourselves."
"Big Sister's going to find Qiangwei now. With Keisha gone, it's about time I found myself a successor. I like the Space-Time Gene. Qiangwei may not be as good as your Prince, but she's still promising. She could grow into a Fourth Generation God Body." As she spoke, she glanced at Su Xinghe and gave him a flirtatious look. Xinyue frowned. Liangbing was flirting with their Prince right in front of her. She'd have to make a note of it and tell Skybase King He Xi when she got back.
"Wow, it's the end of the world, and there's still a guy running around with three beauties. Since it's the end of the world, how about we find somewhere to unwind?" Two thugs circled Liangbing and Xinyue, leering at them.
"Whoosh!" A flash of silver sliced off one arm from each thug. Given the situation, sparing their lives was already generous.
Because dark silver was so sharp, Su Xinghe, out of humanitarian consideration, directly blocked their sense of pain.
"What's going on? Were there not enough people to evacuate? Why are there still people here?" Qiangwei stopped her beloved little motorcycle and walked up to the two one-armed young men. Only then did she notice Su Xinghe.
"Su Xinghe, you're back from outer space?"
"Yes. Let these two punks go with the main evacuation group. Tell your people to keep order. We can't have punks like this showing up again—there are still Angels on Earth."
"If some Angel girl comes out for a walk one day and gets harassed by these punks, she might lose her temper and kill them all."
"Angels may stand for justice and kindness, but that doesn't mean they have to tolerate disgusting behavior."
Qiangwei frowned. Punks harassing girls was a textbook case of asking for trouble.
But the war had nearly destroyed all order, so things couldn't possibly go back to how they were before. That meant some of the scum who'd survived could do whatever they pleased.
At least they'd run into Angels today. If it had been an ordinary woman, who knew what might have happened?
"Miss, we didn't do anything! Our arms just got cut off out of nowhere."
