Previously, the birth of an Angel Warrior often required a massive amount of resources and time.
After all, while an Angel's Super Gene could be passed down, activating it required possessing a true Angel heart.
But with the "Final Defense Protocol" in control, these numerous objective conditions were almost invisible.
The technology wielded by the "Final Defense Protocol" was akin to that of gods. Ever since it accessed the Sacred Knowledge Treasury and the Sky-based Computing Cluster's databases, countless secrets of the Angels were transparent to it.
Then, the entity actually modified their Angel Genes!
Using this as a blueprint, and with Shenhe lifeforms from other planets as a foundation, it created new male Angels to pair with the original Angels of the Merlot Heavenly Court.
The Super Gene inheritance formed by tens of thousands of years of Angel evolution was manipulated like clay in the hands of the "Final Defense Protocol." The entity then modified it into a more powerful Angel Gene and forcibly replaced their existing ones.
In a short period, the Angel population, which was originally only a few million, surged exponentially!
Furthermore, every Angel now felt as if they could distort physical constants with a mere gesture.
The strength of each of their divine bodies had also evolved to a level that completely distinguished them from the so-called third and fourth generations.
It was like a super evolution from microorganisms to prehistoric behemoths!
Keisha herself felt that with her current self, even without the Silver Blade Armory as backup support, she could easily defeat ten thousand of her former selves who used to control the Silver Blade Armory.
What surprised her even more was that not only her, but every Angel Warrior had currently reached the same level as her.
In the past, she relied on the resource control of the Angel King to wield power superior to all Angels, and even all gods in the known universe.
But now, her personal combat power had increased tenfold, yet Keisha wasn't entirely confident she could defeat a few Angels who were previously only first-generation warriors.
The Angels had achieved true collective evolution, with every Angel Warrior receiving resource allocation without any disparity.
The gap between each Angel had been infinitely narrowed.
The once strongest Angel King was now indistinguishable from the once weakest Angel Warrior.
At this moment, Keisha finally truly understood what a real interstellar civilization and a real space-faring species should be like.
In the Theocratic Era, she, with her own powerful martial force, commanded thousands of Angels, and these thousands of Angels, in turn, commanded thousands more.
With this method of rule, she led the Angels to create a seemingly glorious Order of Justice.
They arbitrarily spread their justice throughout the known universe...
But Keisha knew what the truth behind all of this was.
The truth was that the burden of the entire civilization rested on her shoulders alone, and the direction of the civilization's progress was also led by her alone.
As for where the entire civilization was being led, or to what height, Keisha herself couldn't be sure. However, they could be certain that they had surpassed other God-level Civilizations, thus they could boast—
"Angels stand at the pinnacle of the known universe!"
Under the Order of Justice, what justice was, was defined solely by her. And what was the meaning of existence for other Angels?
Were they executors of the Order of Justice?
Were they maintainers of the Order of Justice?
Or were they propagators of the Order of Justice?
They were all of these, and yet none of them.
Regardless of the strength of their beliefs or their status, all other Angels were actually pitiful dependents of the Order of Justice.
Justice never represented fairness.
Keisha had never told the Angels who had once fervently believed in justice the truth: "The universe is vast, and within justice, there are many questions they cannot answer..."
If one day, justice became meaningless, then these ordinary Angels, as dependents, would also fall into dust.
Their once radiant exteriors would be stripped away, leaving them looking disheveled.
This was not a flaw of the Order of Justice, nor a flaw of the Angel Civilization, but the inherent limitation of every civilization that created gods.
When the Order of Justice no longer existed, all Angels, looking back at the glorious past of the Order of Justice, might feel lost and confused.
Is this the civilization behind us? Is this justice? Why does it have such a dirty and unbearable side?
Such a cruel truth.
Keisha sometimes asked herself, if she were one of the most ordinary Angels, could she accept such a truth?
After much thought, her answer was only prolonged silence...
Perhaps some Angels would refuse to face the ugliness behind the Theocratic Order of Justice, choosing to blind themselves, continue to persevere, and keep shouting for the sake of justice, sacrificing and striving...
Perhaps some Angels, after facing this cruel truth, would still confidently persist on their inner path of justice, using it to remind themselves—
"Was this the justice of the past? Alright, let's do it again!"
Perhaps there were many other possibilities, but no matter which one, it inevitably confined them tightly within the framework of theocracy and the Order of Justice, making escape impossible.
But with the intervention of the "Final Defense Protocol," a cross-era technology akin to divine intervention, the shackles of Angel theocracy were directly broken.
Everything of the past vanished like smoke.
The Angels of today were more like a civilization, a collective!
No longer was justice dominated by one person, but a torrent formed by the convergence of countless Angels!
If these tens of thousands of Angels continue to uphold justice, then this will be a true torrent of justice!
Newest novels first release!
The old Order of Justice has completely ended, silently.
If the Angels still had a chance to forge a new Order of Justice, it would undoubtedly be a new order without divine authority, formed by the unification of countless voices.
What the future of the entire Angel race would be in such an order, Keisha could not imagine in detail.
But Keisha was certain that it would be a hundred times stronger than before.
As long as they had this resolve, there was probably nothing the Angel race could not achieve now.
She only hoped they weren't waking up too late.
The "Final Defense Protocol" was like a creator reborn to the Angels!
But as her thoughts returned to reality, Keisha was doused with a bucket of cold water, and that bone-chilling cold reappeared.
She didn't understand why seemingly cold and unfeeling machines could bring the Angel race an unprecedented warmth, offering them such care and protection.
And why could the "Human Federation," with their flesh and blood bodies like the Angels, be so cruel?
According to the subsequent prompts from the "Final Defense Protocol," Keisha recognized the current state of the Angel Nebula.
Over thirty stars had been ruthlessly destroyed by the Human Federation. With this war efficiency, the entire Angel Nebula being annihilated into dust was probably just a matter of a few more waves of such attacks.
Keisha wanted to represent the Angels and help the "Final Defense Protocol" deal with the current threat, but she was strictly confined within the Organic Sanctuary by the sub-individuals guarding them.
Rumble!
A massive spacetime effect occurred, and Keisha could clearly feel the wormhole fluctuations within it.
"What's going on?"
Whoosh!
Outer space.
The entire Merlot Star vanished, as if erased from its original position in the universe.
When it reappeared, the planet was now located in an extremely hidden, unknown star field.
If the Angels within the Organic Sanctuary knew of this situation, they would likely exclaim in disbelief.
Directly teleporting an entire planet, based on their current understanding of wormhole theory, was something that could almost never be accomplished!
