Battle and Capturing an Angel

"This is..."

A wormhole tunnel opened.

Clad in silver armor, two graceful figures with pure white wings on their backs appeared in the outer space of United Star.

Angel Yan and Angel Zhui stared in astonishment at this peculiar planet, a veritable masterpiece of engineering.

A world fused into a single city, a single city forged into a world!

This grand technological vista from the Starry Universe struck them with a unique sense of awe.

Which civilization's planet was this?

Why had they never heard of such a civilization suddenly appearing in the Milky Way?

Angel Yan couldn't help but let her eyes roll white, activating the "Eye of Insight" to read this civilization's information.

Beside her, Angel Zhui watched the strange planet with a wary expression.

Neither of them noticed that the moment they appeared in United Star's outer space, the entire star system erupted like a slumbering giant awakening.

On the star's orbit, the massive ring-shaped main structure of the Sky Pillar Fortress space station entered a combat-ready state.

One after another, covert faster-than-light signal waves folded rapidly through subspace.

Meanwhile, at Sky Pillar Fortress's starport, warships emerged from stealth like dormant beasts, one after another.

The density of warships was enough to blot out the sky and cover the sun!

Yet they remained completely unaware.

Angel Yan's white-rolled eyes showed confusion, her focus entirely on United Star before her: "What's going on? I can't read any information?"

"Sister Yan, what's wrong?" Angel Zhui asked, her expression slightly tense.

For some reason, she sensed a faint, elusive threat from this mysterious planet.

[Warning!]

[United Star is under intrusion by an unknown indexing source—]

[The other party appears to be attempting to infiltrate the Federation's information network. Countermeasures are being initiated. Negative Time Key generating...]

Angel Yan's eyes snapped back to normal. She clutched her head, a look of confusion on her face.

An Angel Warrior's brain rivaled a supercomputer. With the aid of the Dark Plane Gene System, they could efficiently and rapidly process vast amounts of external information.

Logically, this should have been easy—not just for a Spaceflight-level Civilization or a Pre-nuclear Civilization.

Even against a fellow God-level Civilization, an Angel could read their information with ease.

But she couldn't read a single bit of this civilization's data!

How was that possible?

Within the Known Universe, how could a civilization possess information technology surpassing the Angels?

Angel Yan's heart was filled with shock, but it didn't last long.

A lead in information technology alone didn't prove anything else.

Angel Zhui was also taken aback.

"Sister Yan, should we return and report this to Queen Keisha?"

After a moment's thought, Angel Yan gritted her teeth.

"No. I'll enter this planet to see the specifics. Ah Zhui, you stay in space as backup."

She decided to breach United Star's interior and find out just what this civilization was!

Shwoosh!

Angel Yan plunged like a falling meteor, streaking toward the surface.

Shwoosh, shwoosh, shwoosh!

To her surprise, before she even entered the atmosphere, dozens of Cruise Drones shot out from the Star Ring Base encircling United Star to intercept her.

Their speed was astonishing—reaching light speed!

[Warning!]

[Detection of a mysterious alien entity attempting to breach United Star. This act violates the Human Federation's interstellar sovereignty. Automatic defense mechanisms activated!]

The warning was issued.

Without any preamble, the system launched a defensive counterattack against Angel Yan.

The image of an Angel with pure white wings, as defined by the Human Federation's species classification, fell entirely outside the scope of orthodox humanity.

After being automatically identified by the intelligent system, the two Angels were directly categorized as unknown Alien Species.

Threatening Alien Species must be eliminated!

Tachyons signal waves transmitted faster than light through the vacuum.

Angel Zhui in the rear immediately received and decrypted the warning message sent by the other party, her delicate face full of surprise:

"Human Federation?"

"The encryption language they're using is actually from the Shenhe Language Family!"

"Sister Yan, watch out!"

The situation was urgent!

Angel Zhui quickly summoned her Flame Sword and rushed to support Angel Yan.

Chirp chirp chirp—

A series of azure beams shot toward Angel Yan.

Angel Yan's pupils contracted as she raised her Flame Sword to block, but sparks flew from the impacts, and her entire body was sent flying dozens of miles through the vacuum.

Like a billiard ball knocked away.

Shwoosh!

Space drones zipped past at light-speed, their movement terrifyingly fast, instantly surrounding the two angels in a tight circle!

The energy missiles released by their weapons seemed to carry some kind of decomposition field, packing considerable power.

Angel Yan's Flame Sword, in the earlier clash, had been nearly decomposed at the molecular level and rendered useless on the spot. Even her silver armor was mostly burned through, exposing her smooth body with horrific scorch marks.

Without her weapon, her divine power had nowhere to go, leaving Angel Yan to dodge frantically.

In the cosmic space beyond the atmosphere, an angel's wings could normally fly at 10% to 20% of light speed, with the limit tied to the dark energy power their gene engines could mobilize.

That speed was already fast, even outpacing the Taotie warships invading Earth Civilization!

But against true light speed, it was still as slow as a turtle.

"How can these machines be so terrifying?" Angel Yan suffered a heavy loss in her first battle, sensing great danger.

She had never seen any civilization's mechanical technology reach such a level!

Even she, a dignified Left Wing Guard of the Angel Civilization, seemed pathetically weak before these machines.

"Sister Yan, let's retreat first and report this to Queen Keisha." Angel Zhui said, back-to-back with Angel Yan.

Angel Yan wanted to open a micro-wormhole transport channel to escape this trouble spot.

But a cruiser-class starship in the distance had already aimed its ship-mounted cannon at them.

Boom!

A surging thunder-light erupted, a light-speed strike arriving in an instant, engulfing their bodies.

[Threat neutralized!]

[Battlefield cleanup in progress. Detecting faint life signs. Initiating capture...]

"Report to boss, an alien creature attack occurred in outer space near United Star." Gray Wind blinked his eyes and suddenly reported:

"The incident has been properly resolved."

"Two strange alien entities were captured. The Armed Forces Department has taken them into custody and sent them to the Scientific Research Department's lab for entity study."

"Oh?"

Chen Yu was slightly surprised. Busy ordering fleet deployments, he found the encounter near United Star unexpected.

So soon, alien scum had come knocking?

How dare someone invade the territory of the Human Federation—outrageous!

Alien scum were alien scum, unappreciative of civilization, devoid of reason, no different from beasts.

Without even going through diplomatic procedures, they attacked directly—courting death!

As a Star River Guardian, Chen Yu felt it was his duty to represent the Federation, in the name of humanity, to engage in some friendly exchange with the civilization behind these alien scum.

Still, he was curious. In this universe's Milky Way, weren't they all native civilizations?

Where did these blind aliens come from, with the ability to break straight through to United Star's outer space?

Had they come from another galaxy?
