Enixide

"This..." Pan Zhen was in a difficult position. They had only one or two hundred Third Generation God Bodies in all of Lieyang, so 450 sets of upgrade resources would practically empty their coffers.

"Queen Yan, Your Highness the Prince, we really don't have that many resources for upgrading the bodies. Could we substitute other resources instead?"

There was no helping it. They'd been caught doing something shady, so they had to pay compensation. Still, paying less would obviously be better.

"Then how about 240 sets of Third Generation God Body resources, 3,000 tons of Dark Silver ore, 10 tons of dark iron, a Stellar Drive, and Stellar Region Technology? Your civilization has deep pockets. You should be able to afford that much, right?"

"Your Highness the Prince, what do you think?" Angel Yan turned to Su Xinghe. The resources weren't an enormous amount, but they were still a considerable sum for Lieyang Civilization. After all, not every God-level Civilization was as wealthy as the angels and the River Styx.

"Sounds good. With six thousand years of accumulated resources, we can afford it."

At that moment, Pan Zhen's heart was bleeding. These demands were far less than the original request for God Body resources, but they were still enough to make Lieyang Civilization pay dearly.

"Queen Yan, Your Highness the Prince, we can provide these resources as compensation to the Angel Civilization. I'll have the relevant personnel prepare everything you need. You can collect it whenever you like. I'll take my leave now and report to our Main God."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Zhen vanished in a flash. He had to run—otherwise, he was afraid Su Xinghe would extort even his last pair of underwear. Those one or two encounters had already cost him half his life.

"He sure left in a hurry. Tell me, what's so important that you left the Angel Civilization's internal affairs to come find me on Earth?"

"It's about Enixide." Angel Yan glanced at Liangbing before speaking.

"Enixide? Hasn't she become a pawn now? According to Keisha's and my plan, she could become a very capable support Angel. If you want to do something, you can go to Freyzer and bring her back to the Angel Civilization for training. As for the throne, take your time. You can wait until Keisha returns before making a decision."

Su Xinghe had always kept an open mind about Enixide. He neither accepted that she was Keisha's sole and direct successor nor ruled it out. Whether she could succeed would depend entirely on how she developed.

It would be at least several thousand years before Keisha returned. By then, it was hard to say whether Enixide would have risen to that position.

"Yes, but He Xi wants you to go with me. I don't know the exact reason, either."

"Wait... me, too?" He was dumbfounded. They were only going to pick someone up. Sending Azhui would already show plenty of respect, yet He Xi wanted him to go with Angel Yan.

"Did she say when? If not, we can wait for now. Liangbing has made peace with us, so Enixide is safe for the time being. On the surface, she's a monarch, but in reality, she's just a mortal. Death God Karl won't do anything to her. Right now, he's more likely to target He Xi and Liangbing. If all three of the Angel Civilization's top fighters are taken out, the angels won't be able to stop him from carrying out his Void invasion plan."

"Our priority is dealing with Hua Ye. We have to take him out before we can move on to the next step."

"Hua Ye? After we defeated him, Keisha killed everyone around him who had any brains. If Ruo Ning hadn't betrayed us, he'd just be leading a bunch of idiots. He wouldn't be any threat at all."

"But with Ruo Ning on his side, he knows the Angel City inside out. And Death God Karl is helping him. Without He Xi, I'd bet that even with the Angel City's Nine Defenses, it would fall in no more than eight years." As the King of Apocalypse, Liangbing knew the Angel City's Nine Defenses well. And then there was Death God Karl's Void Technology.

"I say you should go. There are probably at least a million little demons on Freyzer by now. For all you know, Enixide might already be a corpse by the time you get there."

She'd sent Ato to slaughter the northern tribes. There were tens of millions of people there; even if only a tenth were infected by the virus, that would still mean millions of demons. They'd tear through Enixide's southern kingdom.

Without help from a God-level Civilization, it would take no more than three years for the whole world to become a kingdom of demons.

"I'd forgotten about that. A few million little demons will be a real problem. I don't particularly like her, though. Mortals take far too long to grow."

"But if I have to go, then I'll go. I should at least show Keisha some respect. She personally chose Enixide as her heir."

"Liangbing, keep an eye on things here on Earth. Holy Keisha is offline, and He Xi is in Heavenly City. Hua Ye will definitely come after you first. Don't get beaten before we even get there."

Liangbing shot him an annoyed look. Morgana and Liangbing were two different people, okay? Did he really think Morgana was Liangbing?

Still, she could tell that Su Xinghe didn't like Holy Keisha's chosen heir. Maybe this would be the source of a future conflict between him and the angels.

After all, she knew her sister very well. Holy Keisha liked to make decisions on her own, and they'd argued about the heir issue more than once.

She also thought Enixide wasn't up to the task, but Holy Keisha had always trusted the results calculated by the Knowledge Vault.

"Oh, so someone finally realizes Enixide isn't up to it. I've thought my sister had a screw loose for years. Xiao Xing, you've got good judgment." Liangbing laughed heartily. Even with Holy Keisha offline, she couldn't resist taking a jab at her. It always made her feel good.

Angel Yan frowned. To her, Liangbing's mocking of Holy Keisha in front of her was an insult to the Order of Justice.

"Liangbing, watch your words. I've never thought Queen Holy Keisha's decision was wrong."

"You should know that before Enixide was even considered, I was the best candidate for Angel Queen. It was only because of things like the Void that our plans were disrupted."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have become the King of Apocalypse. Of the Three Angel Kings, my sister represented absolute force, He Xi represented scientific research, and I represented doctrine. I was supposed to lead the Angel Civilization toward a better future."

"If you don't believe me, ask Xinyue. When the Angel Civilization faces a major decision, do you think they'll listen to me or to you?"

After Liangbing said that, Angel Yan fell silent. It was true: not a single old Angel had attended her coronation. Clearly, she didn't have the influence to command them.

So she quickly changed the subject and turned to Su Xinghe. "On my way here, I contacted Zhixin. She's almost reached Beizhixing. Let's go meet her first, then help restore her Angel Gene and bring her along. She knows a bit more about the situation in the Holy Aland Kingdom."
