Yan's Thoughts

Chapter 9: Yan's Thoughts

Angel Nebula, Merlo Heavenly Court.

I, Angel Yan, left-wing guard of Holy Kaisha.

In my seven thousand years of battle, I have fought three great wars against demons, suffered one defeat, and lost one hundred and eight sisters who lived and fought by my side day and night.

For justice, we do not begrudge death.

We relish the thrill of clashing with evil, and the adoration of the multitudes.

We possess the most perfect bodies in the entire universe, yet we undertake the most dangerous tasks.

In battle against evil, whether dying a tragic and beautiful death or bringing order to a region, the legends of angels are scattered across the cosmos.

The Taotie Civilization, under the protection of their Death God Karl, abandoned their proud flesh, carrying their souls within machinery. They possess greater destructive power, but have already lost all humanity.

A thousand years ago, out of goodwill, I traveled to Planet Earth in the Chi Wu Star System. The Divine River Civilization had already been born there, though it was still quite weak at the time.

I informed the inhabitants of Earth of the impending crisis of the Taotie and offered some assistance.

However, their reply surprised me... They... refused the angels' help, and from their eyes... I read that they did not welcome me.

Three months ago, learning of the Taotie's imminent invasion of Planet Earth, I came alone to Planet Earth to tell the people that darkness was approaching.

What comforted me was that Earth had already developed to the Pre-Nuclear Era, but they still lacked the power to resist the Taotie Civilization.

There, I also met a little boy.

His name is Yi Chen, calling himself the Star Bolt Power.

A very interesting kid.

I heard from Queen Kaisha that his genes are very powerful, and the Queen has high hopes for him.

The Queen also said that he... might become my future male god.

Hearing this news, a hint of panic stirred within me, a strange feeling arose, but... I couldn't find the reason.

I have observed him for a while. His heart is stirring with youthful passion, harboring the most primitive form of love.

Recalling a certain hundred years of my past, I was locked in a room to abstain from desire, a full hundred years. After that, the Queen asked me what my attitude toward men was.

I replied:

"Having endured a hundred years, I can endure anyone."

And then seven thousand years passed in a blink. If the Queen asked me again now, I would say:

"Having waited seven thousand years, I can wait another seven thousand. I think this little boy really can be observed for another thousand years. He must also pass through this trial of abstinence!"

— Yan's Monologue

"Yan, are you there?" Queen Kaisha's voice sounded in Yan's Dark Dimension.

"I am here, my Queen."

"I got some news about Morgana from that pervert Karl down on Earth. Go take a look."

"Yes, my Queen."

"You can also go see your male god on the side. Consider it a vacation for you."

"..." ... Chi Wu Star System, Pluto.

Near the Great Worm Bridge.

This place is filled with Vanguard Flagships belonging to the Taotie, as well as countless Firepower Ships, a pitch-black mass that is somewhat terrifying.

They come from the Styx, one of the subsidiary civilizations of Death God Karl, and also the most powerful civilization Karl has on the surface.

The Taotie Civilization is a biological civilization, and their mechanical warriors were created by Death God Karl through research on Phantom Bodies, summarizing methods to preserve consciousness, and finally preserving the consciousness of the Taotie within machinery.

The hierarchy of the Taotie army is very clear. First is the leader of the Taotie army, the Taotie King Shi Ji. He has already abandoned his flesh, his entire body replaced by blue-white mecha.

The second level consists of commanders like Wind Thunder and Xiong Lu, also with full-body blue-white mecha.

Below them are the Taotie soldiers who have not abandoned their flesh...

The Taotie fleet also has a very clear hierarchy. First is the Command Ship, where the Taotie King Shi Ji resides.

Next are the Battleships, followed by the Vanguard Flagships. The Vanguard Flagships are surrounded by Cross Barriers that absorb solar energy, so they are also called Great Cross Ships.

After that come the Main Ships, Firepower Ships, Transport Ships, and many small Gunboats and Aircraft.

At this moment, inside a Vanguard Flagship, Xiong Lu and Wind Thunder are discussing strategies related to attacking Earth.

"Our vanguard action in reaching the Chi Wu Star System might have been discovered by some divine civilization..."

Wind Thunder, hearing Xiong Lu's words, was completely dismissive and said indifferently:

"With our God Karl here, besides the angels, what other gods do we need to worry about?"

His words were full of disdain, then he continued: "Previous reconnaissance of Juxia City on Planet Earth reported the existence of a large number of intelligent life forms surpassing the Pre-Nuclear Civilization..."

But Tianhe City, which also possesses a monument of civilization, has absolutely no defenses against our Taotie vanguard! We can start there and sow death!"

Xiong Lu listened, paused, and analyzed:

"Earth's civilization has now entered the pre-nuclear era, equipped with nuclear explosives of varying yields. Their conventional weapons can't break through our defenses...

Their aerial combat units are even less capable of contending with us!

But if they resort to nuclear power... it would put immense pressure on us!"

Wind Thunder agreed: "So my idea is low-altitude combat!

They belong to the Old Divine River Radiation Civilization and deeply respect the morality of life—they won't drop nuclear explosives on their own cities!"

Xiong Lu nodded.

On the Giant Gorge Ship, after the battle with Sun Wukong ended, the Xiong Bing Lian members had moved aboard, supposedly for better combat and training.

That day, an uninvited guest arrived on the Giant Gorge Ship.

"Hah... with your current strength, there's no way you can improve him. By the time the Taotie attack, he'll still be stuck at a first-generation Divine Body. All you're doing is holding him back. We angels are willing to train him, and you're still not happy?"

The speaker was Yan, who now looked disdainfully at Du Kao and Lena sitting across from her.

Behind her were two other angels, Angel Chase and Angel Mo Yi, her comrades and close friends.

Lena, sitting opposite Yan, wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Du Kao beside her.

"Forget it, Lena. We really can't teach him. Continuing like this will only limit his growth. However, I have one condition...

As long as he never leaves Planet Earth, he will always be an Earthling, always a warrior of the Xiong Bing Lian." Du Kao said sternly.

"Heh... rest assured, we angels don't force people to do things."
