"Angels?"
When Chen Yu arrived at the Alien Research Institute in the Scientific Research Department and saw two angels, stark naked and confined like test subjects inside transparent containment chambers, he froze for a moment. So I've actually transmigrated into the Super God Universe.
Once he came to his senses, Chen Yu clicked his tongue in amazement.
The two angels had quite impressive figures, very much in line with the Human Federation's standards of beauty.
But unfortunately, ever since the Gene Ascension Project had been completed, beauties like these could be found everywhere in the star systems under the Federation government's control.
Even the most breathtaking faces weren't exactly scarce to the Federation government anymore.
You got used to seeing them.
Chen Yu gave them a couple of curious glances, then looked away.
"Marshal, the results are in." The Director of the Research Department came over and reported solemnly.
The Scientific Research Department had worked quickly. In an extremely short time, they had completed every kind of examination on the two angels, from head to toe.
They had read all of the data from the angels' brains without leaving anything out. To ensure rigor, they had even recorded complete data on every pore on their bodies...
Faced with the Federation's advanced biotechnology and physics, the two angels had virtually no secrets!
If the Federation wanted, it could even try to use their genetic templates to mass-produce a combat force of angel soldiers.
Chen Yu took the data and casually glanced over it. His brain recorded all of it.
He knew the Super God Universe fairly well.
The Angel Civilization, which yearned for justice; the Demon Civilization, which pursued depravity;
And the rigid Lieyang Civilization, which clung to a pile of rubble rather than let go, preferring to make its entire population defend a homeworld with only half its celestial body remaining instead of moving elsewhere;
There was also the Styx Civilization, devoted to exploring the mysteries of the Void...
These civilizations called themselves "gods." In the Known Universe as they understood it, they ran rampant, holding themselves above everyone else.
But in Chen Yu's eyes—and in the eyes of the Human Federation behind him—they were just a bunch of pathetic yokels, playing lord of the manor in their own little corner.
Gods?
How many fleets did they have?
These weakling civilizations thought they could call themselves divine in front of the Federation?!
"Marshal, these two alien species called angels can fly through space at ten to twenty percent of the speed of light. Their genes are extremely powerful. In their language, this is called a Super Gene, and it makes them much stronger than ordinary natives..."
"They also possess something called the Dark Plane Gene System, which allows them to make extensive use of their intelligence, like humanoid supercomputers."
"Their life force is also remarkably resilient, and their bodies are as strong as high-strength alloy. They took a direct hit from a Xuanwumen Class Cataclysm Cruiser's 'Sky Cloud Lightning' attack and somehow weren't reduced to ashes." The Director of the Research Department explained from beside him.
Inside the containment chambers, where all external energy was forcibly isolated in an environment approaching a near-perfect vacuum, Angel Yan and Angel Zhui slowly woke up.
Realizing their freedom had been restricted, they instinctively tried to break out, only to find themselves helpless.
They noticed a crowd of researchers outside watching them as if they were specimens on display.
The two disarmed angels should have felt ashamed, but instead their hearts sank into the abyss.
Holy angels had never been so defiled before mortals!
Angel Yan's mind worked quickly. She immediately gathered her thoughts and spoke with righteous indignation:
"Mortal, do you know what you've done?"
"We are under the command of the Angel Civilization's Holy Keisha..."
"Angel Yan, Left-Wing Guardian; Angel Zhui, Senior Angel Guard." Before she could finish, Chen Yu calmly supplied everything she had been about to say.
"There's no need to introduce yourselves. The Federation has already obtained all the information about you."
"I am the supreme commander of the Human Federation, the sole leader of human civilization."
"You entered the star systems under our civilization's jurisdiction without permission and initiated armed conflict with us. You have violated Federation law."
"You are hereby taken into custody and sentenced to permanent imprisonment, until your civilization makes amends for its offense."
"Otherwise, the Federation reserves the right to declare war on your civilization."
"Make amends?"
Angel Yan felt humiliated, anger showing on her beautiful face.
As Keisha's Left-Wing Guardian, she had nearly seven thousand years of combat experience. Her devotion to justice gave her pride of her own.
Now she had been captured and confined like a living specimen, and faced permanent imprisonment.
This was a flagrant violation of her rights!
Even the angels had never been treated with such indignity by the demons.
And now they expected the Angel Civilization to make amends?
For what?
They were the ones who had been wronged!
"Imprisoning angels, reading our information, desecrating and studying us... Your actions have violated the Order of Justice and brought shame upon the morals of the Divine River!" After learning the extent of their predicament, Angel Yan gritted her teeth and said:
"From this day forward, the gods of the Known Universe will show you no favor, and Holy Keisha will not let you go!"
"Your civilization will be classified as evil, and the angels' Heavenly Blade Judgment will eventually descend upon you!"
"Holy Keisha? What the hell is that?" Chen Yu said calmly, dismissively.
"Gods? Just children entertaining themselves in a playground."
"We know about your so-called Order of Justice, too. It's nothing but a pitiful joke made up by a bunch of children. So what if we violate it?"
Those who plundered resources across the universe in the name of divine authority to maintain their rule had no business going around calling themselves moral. It was absurd.
He had dealt with real Void Gods before. Compared to those things in the Void Realm—
The gods of the Super God Universe really were laughable by comparison.
They were merely somewhat powerful creatures. How could they call themselves divine? In front of the Human Federation, neither angels nor demons were all that powerful.
Their work was science, yet what they advocated was divine authority.
What was their purpose? At heart, they were simply trying to preserve their rule and cling to a pitiful, backward ideology. In practice, they were making a complete mess of things.
Civilizations like these heretical alien species were everywhere in the Starry Universe. The Federation had crushed countless of them.
Were civilizations like the angels and demons really so different from those others?
No.
Because in the eyes of the Federation, all such heretical, alien civilizations were equal—they were enemies to be eliminated!
The only distinction between enemies was whether they were still alive or had once been alive.
Chen Yu's dismissive remarks left Angel Yan and Angel Zhui both humiliated and astonished. Their delicate bodies trembled.
At the same time, they were secretly shocked.
Could this Human Federation that had suddenly appeared really have the strength to challenge the Angel Civilization?
Angel Yan didn't think so.
She believed that she and Angel Zhui had been captured because they had underestimated their opponent and let their guard down.
This Human Federation was an enemy the angels had never faced before. Its technology and tactics were simply too unfamiliar.
They had suffered a crushing defeat because they were caught off guard.
If they regrouped and fought again, Angel Yan was confident they would never end up here!
"Keep deciphering their Dark Plane data..." Chen Yu couldn't be bothered to care what Angel Yan was thinking. He instructed the Director of the Research Department beside him:
"Do your best to break down the structure of their Super Genes and add them to the Alien Gene Bank."
"Yes."
Tens of millions of light-years away.
The Angel Nebula.
Angel City stood atop the dazzling nebula.
Light shone across the world and pierced the clouds. In a resplendent golden palace, a throne stood at its heart.
"Queen, Sister Yan and Zhui have lost contact in the Milky Way. The Sacred Knowledge Treasury can't receive any information from them either. They may have met with disaster." Beneath the throne, Angel Zhixin reported to Keisha:
"Their final transmission mentioned an unfamiliar term, 'Human Federation.' It sounds like the name of a civilization—"
"After that, contact was lost completely."
"I think they may have run into Morgana. But even if Morgana has recovered, she shouldn't be able to take out two third-generation angels at once, and she certainly shouldn't be able to cut off their connection to the Sacred Knowledge Treasury."
"I suspect another God-level Civilization has gotten involved. This is a conspiracy!"
As soon as the Angel Warriors in the palace heard this, they sensed a storm was brewing. One after another, they turned toward the graceful, dignified figure on the throne.
