Their Justice

High above the South Sea Fleet, the once-calm sky suddenly churned with winds and clouds.

When everything had settled, several figures appeared in the sky. They were sacred and noble, as if untouched by the mundane world. There was no doubt: they were Angels of the Angel Civilization. Among them was the strongest being in the Known Universe—the Angel King, Holy Kaisha.

"Oh? Isn't that the war maniac Du Kao? Seeing you here makes everything fall into place." Kaisha spoke from her throne. She looked haughty and superior, an unpleasant sight. Around her were more than a dozen High-Level Angels, including Yan. A force like this could destroy the world of any low-level civilization.

"You're Holy Kaisha. What are you doing on Earth?" Du Kao called up to Kaisha from the deck of the Giant Gorge Ship. Behind him, the members of Xiong Bing Lian watched the group of outsiders in the sky with furrowed brows.

"Give me a minute to read Earth." Kaisha ignored Du Kao's question and opened her Scouting Eye to read Earth's information.

"Mm... quite a beautiful world..."

"Huh? It's war everywhere. Your entire history is war... war... war. Death... death... death. No wonder Death God Karl is interested in you."

"Aren't you here for war?" Hearing Kaisha's assessment of Earth, Du Kao couldn't help speaking up.

"Here for war? Don't flatter yourself. We wouldn't bother going to war just to argue with you." Kaisha gave a soft laugh, her voice full of disdain.

"Queen, I've pinpointed Morgana's location. However, I can't confirm whether she has upgraded to a Fourth Generation Divine Body. If we execute a full-power Heavenly Blade Judgment now, we may be able to defeat Morgana again, but it could harm Earth's inhabitants." Yan spoke up. She had been using Kaisha's Knowledge Repository to search for Morgana ever since they reached the Milky Way Galaxy, and had just obtained her exact location.

"Mm. We can leave the choice to Earth itself." Kaisha watched the members of Xiong Bing Lian with interest.

"Go prepare."

Yan nodded and flew beyond the atmosphere. She didn't stop until she reached the outer edge of the equator. Then she raised her holy sword, and energy visible to the naked eye began converging on the Sword of Flames in her hand. The powerful energy fluctuations filled everyone with dread. This was the Angels' way of carrying out justice—Justice Judgment.

"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Du Kao shouted angrily from the deck.

"You can't stop the Angels from judging demons, and you shouldn't." Kaisha gave a soft laugh at Du Kao's furious shouts, her tone utterly calm.

"This is Earth. Countless innocent people live here. Stop..." Du Kao continued. His anger had turned to something heavy, like a beast gathering strength.

"Earth will deal with this itself."

"Heh. Deal with it itself? How? Xiong Bing Lian? Galaxy Power? Don't be foolish. You don't have the ability."

"As the greatest evil in the Known Universe, Morgana must be eliminated by us Angels. If Earth had the ability to eliminate her itself, we Angels would gladly stand aside and let you handle it. Unfortunately, you don't."

"Good. This conversation is over, Du Kao."

"This is Earth, not a place where you can do whatever you want..."

Outer space around Planet Earth

Yan held the Sword of Flames aloft. Flame-like energy wrapped around its blade, and the temperature around her continued to rise, as if it were gathering enough power to destroy the world.

"Queen, Morgana's location is locked above Juxia City. But if we release the Heavenly Blade Judgment now, a million people will die, and Earth's civilization will suffer." Yan spoke. Her long hair billowed amid the intense energy fluctuations. At that moment, she seemed to have returned to being the Thunder War God, who had fought her way through the ranks of demons. The Judgment Blade in her hand looked capable of cleaving through all darkness.

"Mm."

"Ge Xiaolun, as Earth's future Main God, make your decision quickly."

"Xiaolun, don't agree to it." Before Ge Xiaolun could answer, Du Kao hurriedly spoke up.

On the Giant Gorge Ship, Ge Xiaolun was slightly stunned to hear his name called. Just as he came back to himself, Du Kao's communicator suddenly rang.

"Chief, this is Du Kao."

"Xiao Du, this is the Central Command's highest directive. Whether war comes tomorrow, death comes, or the apocalypse comes, the people's army will never betray the people, and will never trade the people's lives. We'll face it together, through thick and thin."

"Yes, I will carry out the Central Command's orders without fail."

A look of resolve flashed in Du Kao's eyes. He turned to the members of Xiong Bing Lian and nodded silently when he saw that they weren't afraid. Then he looked up at the sky, at the strongest being in the Known Universe.

"Xiong Bing Lian, prepare for battle."

At the outer edge of the equator, the Sword of Flames in Yan's hand still blazed fiercely, its fiery light illuminating her face. But her usually delicate features were now creased with a slight frown.

"Queen, their government and people are filled with justice. They simply can't sense the Angels' presence. Wouldn't doing this be too cruel to them?"

"Yan, our justice stands at the height of the universe, while theirs stands at the level of ordinary lives in a Pre-Nuclear Civilization. Heh. This world is right. They deserve the Angels' protection." Kaisha answered Yan, then looked down at the ground.

"Earth, prepare to face annihilation."

"Yan, cancel the Heavenly Blade Judgment. Let's go."

"Yes, Queen."

At once, the sky churned with winds and clouds again. When everything had settled, the Angels had vanished from the sky. They had come and gone in a hurry, yet left behind an impression that could never be erased.

Angel Nebula, Brahma Star

After a day of training, Yi Chen sat on the edge of a cliff. Before him stretched an endless ocean. The setting sun lit his stern face, lending him an air of nobility.

"Host, according to the Divine River Calendar, today is the final deadline to accept the mission. If you still don't accept it, the system will automatically cancel this mission, and its reward will also be forfeited. Furthermore, there will be no missions for the next three months. Please make your decision." A mechanical voice rang out in Yi Chen's mind.

"Accept it. It's time to start preparing." Yi Chen stood up. At some point, a Dark Forest had appeared behind him. It was dark beyond measure, as if sunlight could not pass through the treetops and bring even a trace of light to the forest.

Yi Chen turned and walked slowly toward the Dark Forest. His figure soon disappeared into its depths.
