Chapter 15: The Unparalleled Queen
Chi Wu Star System, Planet Earth
On the Giant Gorge Ship, Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuang, and the others were conducting their daily target practice, drenching the ground with their sweat, all for the sake of shedding less blood on the battlefield.
A month had passed since Yi Chen left. During this month, the members of Xiong Bing Lian had grown considerably, experiencing battles both large and small. Except for a few individuals, everyone else had already become qualified warriors.
That day, the Xiong Bing Lian received another mission and were heading to the meeting room to discuss the battle plan.
"Hey hey, Monkey Brother, what do you think it is this time?" Liu Chuang said to Sun Wukong. His admiration for Sun Wukong was now even stronger than at the start—once a childhood idol, now a comrade-in-arms.
Although Sun Wukong had previously looked down on Liu Chuang, after training alongside him for so long, he discovered that Liu Chuang was indeed a promising talent. He never complained of exhaustion or hardship during training, and in every battle, he dared to take the front line, absorbing damage for his teammates and dealing output. In Sun Wukong's eyes, that made him far superior to that guy Ge Xiaolun. So now, his opinion of Liu Chuang had changed.
"How would Old Sun know? Ask Old Du yourself when you get there," Sun Wukong said.
All members of Xiong Bing Lian had arrived and were seated around an office desk. Before long, Du Kao, Ling Feng, and a man in military uniform entered the office together.
"Warriors, hello everyone. I am General Du Kao, the overall commander of this mission."
"Just now, the military used Denuo 3 to detect that the vanguard flagship of the Taotie Civilization has entered the Chi Wu Star System and is now approaching Earth."
"Warriors, war is coming. You must be prepared at all times. Only you can win this war. Whether now or in the future, we must win. Understood?"
"Understood!"
"Good. Time is tight. Go prepare. From now on, be on combat alert at all times."
Outskirts of Planet Earth, Great Worm Bridge
Here, countless Taotie warships were densely parked. An advance force, consisting of one vanguard flagship, ten firepower ships, and countless aircraft, had already begun entering Earth.
On the main ship, Wind Thunder, the overall commander of this operation, was discussing battle strategies with his subordinates Xiong Lu, Jing E, and Ting Feng.
The four of them were covered head to toe in blue-and-white armor, retaining only their consciousness—what they called Void Warriors blessed by Death God Karl.
"My opinion remains low-altitude combat. Nuclear weapons pose a significant threat to us, and since this planet belongs to the old Divine River Civilization radiation sphere, they highly value life and morality and won't drop nuclear bombs on their own cities," Xiong Lu said.
"I think it's feasible too. Although low-altitude combat is riskier, it's a better option than being bombarded by nuclear weapons at high altitude.
However, Ming Chuan was taken out on Planet Earth before. And according to my god Karl's data, it's certain that Planet Earth has a large number of super-Pre-Nuclear Civilization beings. Some of them even possess power beyond ours. Among them is one called the Power of the Galaxy. According to the data, he has an Undefeated Body. If we encounter him, we should avoid direct confrontation as much as possible. Besides the Power of the Galaxy, I've heard that Di Lena of the Blazing Sun Civilization is also on Planet Earth. Right now, Planet Earth is like a hot potato—every civilization wants a piece of the pie. But for my god Karl, we do not fear sacrifice."
"Pass my order: the vanguard flagship fleet will enter the atmosphere at full speed. Let us fire the first shot."
Angel Nebula, Brahma Star
The sun was setting, and night was about to fall. In the sky, a faint crescent moon and a few sparse stars were already visible.
Within the Angel Nebula, there were artificial stars, but not every planet had unchanging daylight. Often, the cycle of day and night brought a better experience.
"Kid, starting tomorrow, I'll be away for a while."
"Because the Queen has ordered me to accompany her to Earth. Apparently, there's some news about Morgana."
Yan said, hugging her knees as she spoke to Yi Chen beside her. Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible; if not for his divine body, Yi Chen might not have heard her clearly.
"Morgana? The Demon Queen? Why would she appear on Earth? There shouldn't be anything on Earth worth a demon coveting..." Yi Chen said. He often heard Yan talk about Morgana and demons. Demons were extremely cunning; if there was no benefit, they wouldn't casually reveal their identities, as that would invite angelic pursuit.
"Heh, kid. I heard from the Queen that this time, Morgana got some help from Karl. Otherwise, she wouldn't dare to make such a big show of coming out. She probably has some confidence. And the first thing she did after coming out was head to Earth, so there must be something going on. So starting tomorrow, I'll be going with the Queen to Earth to 'judge the demons.' It should take a while. You stay here obediently, don't forget your training, and... remember to miss me, kid!"
As Yan spoke, she winked at Yi Chen. But Yi Chen seemed to pretend not to see it. Although he couldn't say he was completely immune to Yan's teasing, at this level, pretending not to notice was enough to remain unaffected. However, there was one thing he cared about deeply.
He wanted to go back to Earth with Yan this time. Hearing that Morgana was on Earth made him worried. Although he hadn't been in this world long, he felt like a wanderer who had drifted for ages, endlessly reincarnating through different worlds. Now that he had suddenly found something worth protecting, he naturally wanted to make some sacrifices.
But from what Yan said, she was going on a mission this time. She probably couldn't take him along. Perhaps in her eyes, with his current strength, going back to Earth would be walking to his death, or there might be other reasons.
"Kid, something on your mind? Want to tell Angel Yan about it? Maybe she can help clear things up!"
Yan smiled as she looked at the distracted Yi Chen. Called out by Yan, Yi Chen snapped back to reality.
"Um... Yan, can I come back to Earth with you this time?"
"Back to Earth? Kid, you're still thinking about Earth! It's not possible this time. Morgana is on Earth. If she sets her sights on you, it'll be very troublesome. Although with us angels around, she can't touch you, if you act alone later, it'll be very dangerous. If she seduces you into siding with the demons, then we can only be enemies." Yan said seriously, her tone carrying a note of gravity.
"I..."
"Do you think you won't be seduced by her? You don't understand her. You should know, in the Kunsa Language, Morgana means 'The Unparalleled Queen.' Once, without using a single blade or arrow, Morgana conquered the entire Kunsa Civilization with nothing but her personal charm. If you think you can compare to an entire civilization and prove it, then I'll take you to Earth. If not, then sorry, kid. I can't take you along this time."
