The heavens and earth fell silent, scorched black in every direction.
Only the Sky Dome's jade disk hung high above.
Even as the moon's cool light spilled over Huaxia at night,
over the scorched basin where Huang Village Ruins lay,
that moonlight
seemed to be swallowed by the vast expanse of blackened earth.
At first glance, it looked like a black hole, one that even light couldn't penetrate.
Thud~
The sound of someone hitting the ground rang out in the basin.
It was Angel Yan, her body covered in wounds.
Her wings were broken and charred. She lay on her side on the ground, her eyes slowly closing.
The Flame Sword running through her body, front to back, stood out starkly.
"It's finally quiet. It's a shame about all of Huang Village, but I can take this opportunity to find a quiet place to live. Somewhere aliens can't find."
Ye Yang sighed inwardly.
Rustle, rustle~
Suddenly,
something stirred in the scorched soil behind him.
Ye Yang turned to look.
Suo Dun was clambering out of the ruins in a sorry state.
His body was covered in black filth, impossible to tell whether it was burns from the electricity or scraps of other debris.
"Good grief, brother! That move of yours was way too powerful! I nearly got electrocuted to death!"
Suo Dun shouted in complaint.
But he sounded full of energy.
Clearly, he'd only suffered a few minor injuries.
Ye Yang looked at him, his expression briefly stunned.
"I was so angry just now that I forgot about you. You're not hurt, are you?"
Ye Yang stepped closer to check on him.
His personality really hadn't changed, even after being transported to another world.
Not only was he unambitious and lazy about work,
but when he got angry, he threw caution to the wind.
"I'm fine."
Seeing Ye Yang concerned about him,
Suo Dun immediately thumped his chest to show off his strength.
"Good. Let's head back and tell Miss Liang."
Ye Yang nodded.
Suddenly,
Ye Yang and Suo Dun both realized something.
They stared at each other, their expressions frozen in comical bewilderment.
"Brother, you blasted the whole village and town away. The courtyard where we live must be gone too. What about Miss Liang?"
Suo Dun glanced at Ye Yang beside him,
asking in a simple, honest tone.
Hearing that,
Ye Yang pressed a hand to his forehead and closed his eyes in exasperation.
Right, he'd forgotten about that.
He'd accidentally killed the tenant who'd come to bring him money for no reason at all.
What a sin.
"Hey, brother, look!"
Suo Dun suddenly shouted, his voice rising.
He pointed ahead with his crocodile arm and dashed several meters away.
"Our courtyard is fine! Holy crap!"
Hearing that,
Ye Yang's heart skipped a beat.
He immediately looked in the direction Suo Dun was pointing.
"What?!"
The little country courtyard where he lived sat quietly in place, completely untouched.
Even the incandescent lights in the yard were still shining.
It stood in stark contrast to the scorched basin around it.
"Come on, let's go take a look."
Ye Yang was puzzled.
By all rights,
his move, God's Sanction, had just unleashed power that could nearly destroy the heavens and earth.
How could the courtyard possibly be unscathed?
Without delay,
he took Suo Dun and jogged toward the courtyard.
Meanwhile,
behind Angel Yan's body,
the void rippled.
Angel Zhui and Angel Moi emerged from a wormhole.
When the two women saw Yan, pierced through the chest and back by a sword,
they hurriedly crouched down to examine her injuries.
"S-she's dead, Sister Yan!"
Moi held Yan's body in her arms.
When she realized that Yan's body no longer showed any signs of life,
her voice and expression filled with disbelief.
Beside her,
A Zhui closed her eyes and shook her head in grief.
Neither of them had ever imagined
that the end of Yan's seven-thousand-year career as a warrior would be so tragic.
And that she would die at the hands of an unknown Earthling.
When A Zhui opened her eyes again,
her gaze fixed on Ye Yang's retreating figure.
She gripped her Flame Battle Sword tightly, but didn't dare attack.
"Take Yan's body and get out of here. I need to report this to Queen Keisha immediately. From this moment on, Ye Yang is an enemy of the Angel Civilization!"
With that,
A Zhui and Moi carried Angel Yan's "body" and flew straight up into the sky, disappearing into the night.
At the same time,
Angel Yan felt her dazed consciousness gradually begin to stir.
When she opened her eyes,
she saw only a dark, chaotic void around her.
Her body felt insubstantial.
Although she still wore her silver armor and had a pair of wings on her back, with no visible injuries,
Yan felt as if she were floating like a ghost.
"W-wasn't I killed by Ye Yang using my own Flame Battle Sword?"
"Where is this?"
Yan murmured to herself.
Suddenly,
a woman's voice rang out in the dark, chaotic space:
"Hello, Angel Yan."
"This is our first meeting. I am your Sub-biological Engine in the Dark Plane."
"Your heart has stopped beating. Your life has ended."
Hearing the Sub-biological Engine tell her she was dead,
Angel Yan felt a pang of sorrow.
After all, the Sub-biological Engine inside her was a secret creation that went against Queen Keisha's Justice Order.
"All right, I understand," Yan said.
"Then I will activate inside your body. It will destroy and redefine your heart. You will no longer be an ordinary angel."
"I need to ask you three questions."
"First: why did Holy Keisha implant Sub-biological Engines in only you and Zhi Xin?"
Angel Yan replied, "Because Zhi Xin and I are the queen's guards, and we're responsible for the future queen. If we were to die in battle ahead of time, Ai Ni Xi De might never grow into that position."
"Then my second question: how do you view your resurrection?"
At this question,
Ye Yang in his Thunder God form appeared in Angel Yan's mind.
She clenched her fists,
her expression darkening as she said,
"This is a disgrace, a defiance of the order upheld by angels and the queen. Life and death are part of the natural order. Only then can one uphold the principles of justice."
"Third question: even if we activate it now, your body will remain very weak. But with a powerful enemy before you, are you willing to take this risk?"
Angel Yan's gaze was resolute. "Yes! Please take me, A Zhui, and Moi somewhere safe in the Milky Way immediately."
"Are you sure you want to use the Sub-biological Engine so recklessly?"
"Ye Yang is far too strange, and Morgana is still lurking in the shadows on Earth. I have to ensure that I'm safe until Queen Keisha arrives."
"Understood."
Outside,
Moi carried Angel Yan's body while A Zhui flew ahead with her sword drawn.
They had already made it beyond the atmosphere.
Suddenly,
a mysterious force swept up the three of them, and they vanished in an instant.
Meanwhile,
in the scorched basin of Huang Village Ruins,
a rural courtyard stood completely intact, its lights blazing.
Ye Yang and Suo Dun arrived at the fence.
