Angel City in Crisis

[Target analysis: Male Angel King Hua Ye]

[Peak Third Generation God Body, equipped internally with a advanced Styx-version Void Engine, advanced concept rewriting, advanced definition functions, additional Void Energy functions...]

[Core computational speed: 48–56 frequencies]

[Comparing data: Divine River One (temporary usage bonus from the Celestial Book Database + Holy Keisha's Knowledge Vault), 144 frequencies; divine concept rewriting, divine matter definition, advanced God-Slaying commands, advanced mental suppression strikes. Additional Void Ability, Anti-Void, Anti-Light Energy, Anti-Bioenergy, Anti-Dark Energy, capable of creating computational paradoxes.]

"Hua Ye, the moment Keisha went offline, you popped right out. Do you think you've lived too long?"

"Hua Que was quite a figure, yet he ended up fathering a dimwit like you. If he knew, he'd probably be so angry he'd climb out of his coffin and slap you twice." Against 56 frequencies, 144 frequencies meant more than double the suppression. Su Xinghe figured he could pin Hua Ye down tight even with his eyes closed.

"Enough talk. Let's fight!" Hua Ye didn't waste any time either. The moment he saw Angel Yan and Su Xinghe there, he knew this fight would be tough, so he struck first, intending to test their strength and then retreat.

"Master, I truly never expected you to join Hua Ye after leaving Angel City. I thought you'd gone to some other planet to become a lord or something." Angel Leng looked at Ruo Ning with mixed feelings. She was her teacher, after all. Leng hadn't expected her to end up alongside Hua Ye, the public enemy of the Angel Civilization.

Leng actually knew a little about what had led to this. Back when the Guardian Angel position had come up, her master hadn't wanted Angel Yan to take over. Queen Keisha's decision had left Ruo Ning dissatisfied, and she'd left.

"Girl, go protect Zhixin. I'll handle this. Let's settle the grudges between us as master and disciple." Angel Leng turned to Angel Yan. Since Ruo Ning had shown up, Leng was the best person to deal with her.

"Be careful. She's an Angel from the same era as Queen Holy Keisha." Without the Holy Keisha Knowledge Vault and armory, Angel Yan wasn't confident she could suppress Ruo Ning.

Angel Leng wasn't worried in the least. A God-Slaying Weapon, a Third Generation God Body, and a 12-frequency Sub-biological Engine were more than enough. Her opponent might be her master, but the Angel Civilization hadn't spent the last thousand years standing still.

Meanwhile, Su Xinghe and Hua Ye were evenly matched. Since Su Xinghe lacked practical close-combat experience, he was using Hua Ye to test himself. Even with the Void Ability added to his Black Hole Engine, he still couldn't meaningfully suppress the Dark Silver King's Sword with an ordinary Flame-Class Weapon.

"Not bad, boy. This king underestimated you. Then let's settle this!"

[Redefining space, creating a Void Domain to suppress!]

[10%...15%...]

"Hmph! You think a mere Black Hole Engine makes you invincible?"

[Activating the Celestial Book Database, restoring spatial definitions, activating Anti-Void, Anti-Light Energy, Anti-Dark Energy, Anti-Bioenergy, creating Absolute Vacuum, initiating Final Judgment!]

[10%...25%]

[Interrupting the opponent's calculations... interruption complete]

[35%...55%...80%...100%]

"Boom!" A gigantic head suddenly swallowed Hua Ye and Ruo Ning whole. The energy surge was so immense that it directly unraveled his Final Judgment.

"Carl, it seems his Void Ability really has surpassed what the Super Seminary studied before."

"He got away this time, but we've mostly figured out Hua Ye's strength. After this, he'll seek out allies. Even if he gathered all the Male Angel forces from before, he couldn't break through the Angel Civilization's Nine Defenses by himself."

"But if he finds the Triangular Body Alliance and gets Carl's help, then it's hard to say how things will go."

Su Xinghe looked at Angel Yan, his expression grim. He truly hadn't expected Death God Karl to protect Hua Ye so brazenly.

He'd assumed that after Su Xinghe killed Hua Ye, Death God Karl would secretly resurrect him. He hadn't expected Karl to rescue him halfway through.

"He Xi, you saw that just now, right?"

"Hua Ye's latest Void Engine can release black holes. That poses a huge threat to the Angel Civilization's defenses."

"The Angel Civilization's Nine Defenses can't possibly stop him completely. So, I was wondering if you could upgrade the defensive lines, or add one or two more on top of the Nine Defenses."

Su Xinghe contacted He Xi. He knew she'd been watching the battle the whole time.

With He Xi's scientific talent, she could reinforce or comprehensively optimize the Angel Civilization's defensive lines before Hua Ye gathered his forces and attacked Angel City.

"I saw it. Some things were still beyond my expectations. The Angel defenses are largely fixed, and only the first four can be optimized. I'll take care of the specifics. You should hurry to Freyzer and help Enixide eliminate the little demons. Once you've brought the people back to the Angel Civilization, everyone should return. I'll need your and Yan's help to have a chance of suppressing Hua Ye and Death God Karl."

A black hole. In the Heavenly Base King's hall, He Xi propped her head on one hand and studied the simulated black hole data before her. The best way to unravel a black hole was to enter it and understand its nature, but doing so would mean entering a state of consciousness, just as Keisha had.

That wouldn't be good for Su Xinghe. If He Xi went in, she had no idea how many decades it would take her to return. Either she'd find a way to crack the problem, or someone outside would have to unravel the black hole.

As the Heavenly Base King of the Angel Civilization, she had a duty to protect her people. As a Guardian Angel, she also had to consider her Male God's feelings.

"Skybase Legion, prepare yourselves. If anything happens to me while we're fighting Hua Ye in the future and I temporarily go offline, follow Prince Su Xinghe's orders and protect the Angel Civilization's defensive lines."

"If Angel City can no longer be defended in the future, abandon it if necessary and retreat to Freyzer or Earth. Wherever the flowers of justice bloom, there lies the Merlot Heavenly Court."

A single order from the Heavenly Base King brought fifty thousand retired Angels out of hiding. The Heavenly Base King's royal decree hadn't appeared since the Three Kings Era ended, yet now it had returned—and in the form of such an order.

As veterans of the Skybase Legion, they'd known for a long time that Heavenly Base King He Xi was betrothed to the prince of the Shenhe Civilization. Their compatibility was an astonishing 99.7%, near-perfect. Following their own Prince's orders was no problem, as long as those orders didn't harm the foundations of the Angel Civilization.
