An Unknown Main God?

"All right, Your Highness the Prince. Enixide understands. I'll complete the handover of the country as soon as possible. As for the demons in Freyzer, I'll leave them in the hands of the angel lords."

Angel Yan gave Angel Zhixin and Angel Leng a look, signaling them to deal with the lesser demons on Freyzer. One was Holy Keisha's Right Wing Guard, and the other was the Guard Legion's commander. They could handle a few insignificant demons with one hand tied behind their backs.

"Prince Su Xinghe, Queen Keisha assigned Angel Leng to Galaxy Power. I'd like to prepare a dowry for her. It would show how much we value Angel Leng while also helping Earth resist an invasion. So I've decided to send a warship from the Heavenly Blade Series to Earth. What do you think?"

After Angel Leng and Angel Zhixin left, Angel Yan and Su Xinghe strolled along the river as they talked.

"Hm?" Su Xinghe paused. In the original story, Angel Yan had been Ge Xiaolun's Guardian Angel, and had indeed sent Heavenly Blade Seven to Earth to better assist it. A number of young angels had even died because of it. But Angel Yan was no longer Ge Xiaolun's Guardian Angel, so there was no reason to give them such a generous dowry.

"This is your decision to make. After Keisha, you'll be the King of Angels. You should consider matters like this yourself instead of asking me. And if you do ask anyone, it should be Angel Leng herself."

"If you insist on hearing my opinion, then yes, Earth is far too weak right now, and we can't stay there forever. A battle fortress from the Heavenly Blade Series would help Earth, and it would also show Angel Leng and Ge Xiaolun just how much we value them."

"But you'll need to send angels with strong research abilities and decent combat skills. The core technology must remain in our hands. It absolutely cannot be allowed to leak."

"Then we'll send a Sixth-Generation Heavenly Blade warship, the Heavenly Blade 6, Model 004 battle fortress. It's not as good as the flagship Heavenly Blade Seven Series, but it'll be more than enough for Earth." Angel Yan thought it over. The Sixth Generation of the Heavenly Blade Series was the best choice for Earth. There were more Sixth-Generation ships than any other, and while their equipment wasn't as advanced as the Seventh-Generation flagships, they were more powerful than the Fifth Generation. They were currently the Angel Civilization's main warships.

"I'll have someone get it ready and send it to Earth."

"I just don't know what the Angel Civilization's future should look like. Queen Keisha passed her position on to me, but I don't know whether, when the next war comes, I'll lead the angels toward a brighter future or into an endless abyss."

The first clash with Hua Ye had made Angel Yan feel the pressure.

Aside from Hua Ye and Ruo Ning, the dozen or so male angels they'd brought were all at the Second Generation Angel level.

Death God Karl had even intervened at the end. If Hua Ye truly had Death God Karl's full support, then their troops could be mass-upgraded into Second Generation Angels.

By comparison, most of the Merlot Heavenly Court's 20,000-strong garrison were inexperienced first-generation recruits.

"Why worry? Didn't we just get the resources for Third Generation God Bodies from Pan Zhen?"

"We can pick them up on the way back. Choose the angels with the most combat experience from your Left-Wing Guardian and Right Wing Guard units, and outfit them all with Third Generation God Bodies."

"Build an elite angel corps with the strongest combat power. It could play a crucial role in the wars to come."

Put a few hundred Third Generation God Bodies on the battlefield, and as long as they held back the enemy's strongest fighters, they could slaughter the enemy's regular troops almost unopposed.

"What you need to do now is master Holy Keisha's Knowledge Vault as soon as possible. Only by mastering the Vault can you suppress Hua Ye with your presence."

"We can deal with the armory later. Master the Knowledge Vault first. It contains a way to suppress Death God Karl, and that's what we need most right now."

Su Xinghe still hadn't upgraded to a Fourth Generation God Body. The Celestial Book Database's data was incomplete, and it differed from the Holy Knowledge Treasury in certain ways. There were things Keisha had that he didn't—such as a way to suppress Karl.

In northern Freyzer, a pillar of icy blue light instantly froze Angel Leng and Angel Zhixin. Even the Void Engine's processing was restricted.

"Sister Leng, this field is far beyond our understanding. External communications are down, but Queen Yan and His Highness the Prince haven't come yet. They probably haven't received any word about what's happening to us."

"It's too cold. We have to get out quickly." Zhixin was weak. She stood back-to-back with Angel Leng. Now that the Void Engine was unusable, all they could do was hope Angel Yan and Su Xinghe would arrive in time to save them.

[Activating Celestial Book Database. Redefining space. Activating Sacred Domain. Breaking through the enemy's restrictions!]

Zhixin had just wondered whether she could hold out until Su Xinghe came to save them when he appeared the very next second, like a prince arriving on a white horse.

[Decryption successful!]

"This thing looks a little familiar." Su Xinghe grabbed one of the icy blue vines. Its surface temperature was already close to Absolute Zero. If Zhixin and Angel Leng hadn't both had Third Generation God Bodies, with their resistance to extreme heat and cold, they would've been knocked out the instant they were trapped.

"What is this? It's so cold—the temperature is far lower than the surface temperatures of Uranus and Neptune in the Chiwu Star System. Nothing like this should exist on Freyzer." Angel Yan stepped forward and tried to read the vine's data, but even the Holy Knowledge Treasury had no record of this species.

"It came up from underground. Zhixin and Leng must have disturbed something when they used the Great Judgment to attack the lesser demons."

"We can't analyze it, but it has signs of life. I'll go down and take a look. Wait here. If anything happens to me, seal off this area. Under no circumstances can we let this thing spread."

"Your Highness, this unknown species is terrifying, and we don't even know what it is. Shouldn't we contact Teacher? She went into the depths of the cosmos with Queen Keisha many times. She might have seen it before." After restarting her Void Engine, Zhixin went to Su Xinghe's side. If he went down and something happened to him, wouldn't her teacher be left a widow?

"There's no time. He Xi has to stay in Heavenly City. If Hua Ye invades, someone needs to take charge. I'll go down and take a look. If everything's fine, I'll come back up. Don't worry; if anything goes wrong, I can contact the Space Principal." With that, Su Xinghe jumped straight down. His instincts told him there was a life-form down there, at least a Fourth Generation God Body. Friend or foe, he had to find out what was going on.
