Male Core

On the outskirts of Shendu, at the corps' temporary base.

"Whew, good thing we had the Angel Legion's help. Otherwise, we would've lost quite a few people along the way. Xinghe and I used to be best buddies in the same dorm, the kind who jokingly claimed each other's kids as our own. I never expected him to become the Shenhe Prince and a prince of the Angel Civilization, commanding hundreds and thousands of angels and fighting across the heavens and earth."

Ge Xiaolun had just taken out another fleet of the Giant Wolf Civilization and returned to the temporary base. The moment he came in, he started grumbling. He'd thought that once he got superpowers, he'd be able to marry ten campus beauties. But now his roommate had married a queen and was commanding armies.

Even Zhao Xin had Zhixin, while he was still single. It was painful. Qiangwei was still ignoring him, too.

"Don't lose heart. The Galaxy Power will become the Main God of the Milky Way Galaxy in the future, a Main God on Queen Keisha's level. His status will be equal to that of the Main God of the Shenhe Civilization."

"I have an idea. We can use decimal language. You're Anti-Void, and I'm Void. If we work together, we can create a Void Controller."

"A Void Controller? What's that? And decimal language? I only know that hackers use binary." Ge Xiaolun looked completely baffled. As a liberal arts student, he'd only ever heard of these things; he'd never encountered them himself. He didn't even know what a Void Controller was.

"A Void Controller is actually similar to a Void Engine, except a Void Controller is a little more advanced. An engine starts at 1 hertz, while a Void Controller starts at 6. But this violates the Angel's Order of Justice, so we'll have to wait until Queen Yan and the others arrive. I need to ask for her opinion first."

The Void Controller was based on Void theory. If Queen Holy Keisha had still been around, research like this would have been absolutely forbidden. But now they could give it a try. For one thing, the situation was tense, and developing a Void Controller to help Ge Xiaolun grow would benefit the angels, too. It would be an indirect way of helping the Angel Civilization uphold the Order of Justice.

"Th-then, does Big Brother Su have a Void Controller of his own?"

"Aido, His Highness the Prince's is probably not just a Void Controller. It should be something more advanced. But a Void Controller can be upgraded. Once it's complete, you can later build a scaled-down Great Clock—an astronomical computer. That'll increase your computing power."

"In theory, if I help you make a Void Controller and we assume it has the minimum computing power, then adding an astronomical computer should bring it up to 10 to 12 hertz. The exact figure depends on how much information is stored in the astronomical computer."

"If you've got such a good idea, you can give it a try. As for the rule that angels can't research the Void, Hexi was actually researching it long ago. Keisha knew about it."

"The reason we didn't let little angels like you research it before was that the Void contained too much. It was easy to end up pursuing extreme research, like Liangbing did back then."

"But a Void Controller is essentially the same kind of thing as a Void Engine, so researching one doesn't count as violating the Order of Justice."

Su Xinghe and Angel Yan walked into the tent side by side. He had just overheard Zhixin's words. Making a Void Controller for Ge Xiaolun—that is, the later Xiongxin—was something he'd have brought up even if Zhixin hadn't offered to build one for him.

Earth really did need a powerful Main God to keep things under control. Victorious Fighting Buddha, Sun Wukong, alone wasn't enough.

"Queen Yan, Prince Xinghe." Zhixin rose and gave a slight bow. Beside her, Angel Leng looked at the rather dopey Ge Xiaolun and curled her lip, her thoughts unclear.

"Right, Zhixin. Go ahead and do whatever you think best about making the Void Controller. Once it's done, we'll head to Freyzer and bring Enixide here."

"All right, Ge Xiaolun. Let's get started. It's actually very simple. You and I are Void and Anti-Void, respectively, which can be defined as 0 and 1."

"Then we convert binary into decimal and turn the decimal into Holy Code. I'll handle these preliminary steps."

"You just need to interface with me."

Ge Xiaolun didn't understand any of it, so Zhixin had to help him with the preliminary work, which required two people to do anyway.

Actually, if Angel Yan or Su Xinghe had helped him, the resulting Void Controller—Xiongxin—would have worked much better.

But Angel Yan was no longer Ge Xiaolun's Guardian Angel, so she had no reason to keep helping him.

As for Su Xinghe, he couldn't be bothered. Xiongxin's initial 12 hertz would be more than enough. Later, once Qiankun was built, its computing power would rise to 20 hertz.

As the amount of knowledge it held grew, it still wouldn't match Hua Ye's Black Hole Engine, but its computing power would be about the same as that of a single Heavenly Blade Seven.

"Big Brother Su, will this really work?" Ge Xiaolun was a little uneasy, but curious, too. This thing was going inside his body, after all. He was afraid that one day something might go wrong and cost him his life.

"It'll be fine. I have one inside me. Just follow the steps in a moment. I'll be away from Earth for a long time, so Earth needs a battle god to lead its people to final victory."

"All right, I've finished writing the basic program. Next, I'll give you a Holy Code learning program. It's just like when you learned how to control your energy."

"The world of the Void really is fascinating. No wonder that mad pervert, Death God Carl, loves researching it." Angel Yan couldn't help exclaiming as she watched Ge Xiaolun and Zhixin interfacing their information.

At present, the only people in this world who could directly use Anti-Void were Su Xinghe and Ge Xiaolun. Even she couldn't do it yet.

"Well, I came to Earth looking for Liangbing, but look at all these adorable little skirts!"

"Don't be afraid, little angels! Your King Hua Ye is back to liberate you! Hahahaha!"

"Hua Ye?" Angel Yan and Su Xinghe looked at Hua Ye in the air, their expressions changing. They could both tell that he'd been upgraded.

"Yan, Hua Ye's been upgraded. Go deal with Ruo Ning. I'll suppress Hua Ye. You've only just taken control of your Sacred Body, so you need a battle to get used to your current Fourth Generation God Body."
