[As a Hakimi, Kal'tsit doesn't even have the awareness of being a pet, and even tries to scheme against you, her master.]

[This is no ordinary Hakimi; we need to strike hard.]

[We recommend you adjust the halo sensitivity to 3000x]

Chen Ran: "?"

3000 times? What does that mean for the Magic Cat?

Even though Savior Kal'tsit, nodded in agreement and then, in order to demand the halo, planned to overturn Precise.

Chen Ran had already guessed that this semi-transparent pop-up would definitely be followed by an episode of CatTV.

But now...

Chen Ran was more inclined to complain, "Your semi-transparent pop-up has quite a wide range of applications, huh? You even know about the '3000 times sensitivity' meme?"

This made Chen Ran burst out laughing, but his laughter seemed to cause Savior Kal'tsit, to misunderstand something.

"I know that for someone of my status to ask you for something divinely bestowed is indeed presumptuous..."

Savior Kal'tsit hesitated for a moment before speaking, "So, if you're unwilling—"

"Oh, no, I just saw something quite interesting."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ran smiled and waved his hand, dispelling the semi-transparent pop-up in front of him. Then, holding the Savior Cat, he turned and walked towards the table.

"Savior Cat, if you want it, I'll give it to you. But have you thought about how to deal with the strange looks from the other two cats?"

"I have a mouth, I can speak, and the three of us are essentially the same person. What I worry about, they will naturally also consider."

As expected, Chen Ran brought the Savior Cat to the table.

Reaching out again, he took one of the ten halos and, as if to crown the cat as a queen, placed it on her little head—

The two people, the normal cat and the Lost Cat, barely reacted to this.

On the contrary, when the Savior Kal'tsit raised her head and the halo above her head shone, the two cats were stunned for a moment.

Well... how should I put it...?

Chen Ran was also examining the halo above the Savior Cat's head:

"Although the shape of this halo is not much different from that of the Sarkaz Angels, it just has a certain... um..."

"Oh right, there's that kind of thing where you're playing through the story, you see a new NPC, and you point at them and say, 'With that artwork and those accessories, this NPC is definitely going to be added to the gacha pool, and they'll be a 6-star operator.'"

The aura of holiness makes people feel at first glance that this person must be a 'Divine Messenger,' completely different from the crudely made halos above the heads of those Sarkaz.

That's roughly how it feels.

Savior Kal'tsit, had absolutely no idea what Chen Ran was saying.

Even when she looked up, the halo seemed to be welded to her head, moving along with her head tilting back.

So much so that this Savior Kal'tsit looked like a cat with a foam ball stuck to its head, its little head shaking left and right for a long time.

Finally realizing she couldn't see it, Savior Kal'tsit, gave up.

Then she turned to experience the other abilities that the halo granted her.

Ah, what she felt wasn't empathy, but rather—

The Savior Kal'tsit gently stretched her waist, and then a pair of Angels wings appeared behind her.

Unlike Horya's pure feather Snake Snake, Savior Kal'tsit's wings have a more technological feel, almost like a holographic projection.

Not only could she control it with ease, but with Savior Kal'tsit's attempt, she was able to float up for the first time by lightly touching her toes.

As if she had found a new toy, Savior Kal'tsit flew around several times, thoroughly enjoying herself.

Until she heard Chen Ran's teasing. "Oh ho, you used to be the one who was persecuting me, saying that only Kal'tsit couldn't fly. Now that Kal'tsit has become a cat on a celestial body, the target of your persecution has become Miumiu."

Upon hearing this, Savior Kal'tsit was flying happily, subconsciously glanced at the table.

Then I saw Mylnar, pouting her little lips.

"Hmph, even if you say that, they won't fall for it."

Oh well, it seems there's no need to worry about this Water Elf's mood.

However, Savior Kal'tsit, seemed to have had enough fun. She flew back into Chen Ran's palm and said, "Thank you for your grace, my Lord God. In order to meet your expectations, please put me back on a planet in the normal Worldline."

"There's no need to rush."

Chen Ran laughed and said, "I'm really not that mischievous as to let you, Savior Cat, experience empathy remotely, so don't worry, empathy won't be activated until you come back, Savior Cat."

The empathy of the halo is indeed powerful, but it can also be turned off actively—although the authority to switch this on is in Chen Ran's hands.

However, it was clear that after Chen Ran made his assurance, Savior Kal'tsit, though her expression remained unchanged, was visibly relieved.

So Chen Ran smiled, took the Savior Cat back into his palm, and placed her into the planet model, saying, "Alright, I'll be waiting for you to come back."

Kristen, the golden retriever, was the first person to ride a rocket into space, have the honor of meeting the gods, and return unharmed.

Her role goes far beyond that of a 'pioneer' and a 'milestone'.

Kristen not only brought back intelligence from beyond the stars, but also drew the first star map.

This gave the Preservators a clear direction, so much so that the interstellar warships they are building now are all aimed at the moon, the closest moon to Terra.

"So our first stop after embarking on our interstellar journey is this moon, Terra Satellite II."

In the absence of divine intervention, Divine Messenger, or divine pronouncements, the decision is usually made by the Preserver.

But--

"No, according to the will of God, your first stop is the planet 'Holy City of Angels'."

With just one sentence, the Preserver's decision was overturned.

This made the Preserver instinctively turn their heads to look.

Then Savior Kal'tsit, with a halo above her head and wings on her back, descended from the sky like Angels descending to earth to save the world.

Just as Chen Ran had complained before, even though the Savior Kal'tsit hadn't revealed her identity.

But almost everyone had the same thought the moment they saw Savior Kal'tsit:

'So radiant, so sacred, this is undoubtedly Divine Messenger.'

Even the Preserver was stunned. "Ama-10? What's with that halo and wings above your head... No, no, no, please forgive my overstepping, Divine Messenger Excellency."

The Preserver's attitude became noticeably more respectful—a rare occurrence for Savior Kal'tsit, who also sensed this.

Then, as Savior Kal'tsit, couldn't help but reveal a slightly subtle expression.

The Preserver then asked again, "May I ask, which planet is the 'Holy City of Angels' mentioned in the Lord God decree?"

Chapter 149 It seems there's a little glutton who stole a halo.

It's late at night.

The Demon King Rabbit, who has a good sleep schedule, was already asleep.

Even Mylnar grumbled something about 'I'll never wear the halo, don't even think about it!' and returned to the little castle early.

And besides the carefree Blue T, who, Red T, also became an internet addict—

Chen Ran, Normal Cat, and Lost Cat were also awake.

"So, normal cat, what are you going back for? Savior Cat has already taken over for you, so just stay here. There are plenty of rooms in that little castle anyway."

"Lost Cat, what are you going back for now?"

"If you two really have nothing to do, I'll get you a model of a planet. You two can live on that planet, and I'll speed up its rotation."

"If you two spend a few hundred years researching on that planet, you'll find a cure for Oripathy."

Honestly, both the normal cat and the Lost Cat were quite interested in each other.

For these two cats, lifespan is not an issue; they have both lived for over ten thousand years.

If there really were a planet like this, and you stayed there for 100 years, you'd emerge to find that only one day had passed in the normal Worldline.

Then illnesses, difficulties, and regrets no longer matter.

And neither of the two cats felt that Chen Ran was deceiving them. He was a god, capable of creating things out of thin air with ease. A simple difference in the flow of time was nothing more than a matter of a thought.

"Alright, you two cats, take your time thinking about it. Once that Savior Cat returns, you two can go ahead—"

With a buzz.

Before Chen Ran could finish speaking, a beam of white light shot out from the planet model behind him.

"Oh, looks like that Savior Cat has finished its business?"

Upon seeing this, Chen Ran naturally turned around and walked to the planet model, then reached in and pulled the Savior Kal'tsit out of it.

"Is the matter finished?"

Chen Ran asked.

"Yes."

Savior Kal'tsit stood in Chen Ran's palm and nodded. "According to what you said, when the Preserver step into interstellar civilization, their first stop will be the 'Holy City of Angels' Worldline."

"That's fine."

Chen Ran turned around and walked to the table, putting down the Savior Kal'tsit in his hand.

Seeing the three cats reunited at the table, Chen Ran chuckled, "Three cats gathered at the top, huh? Shall I get you some cat food... oh wait, I mean, some dinner?"

You just mentioned cat food, right...?

Even though the Savior Cat initially wanted to agree, it firmly shook its head at this moment. "No, no need to trouble you. I'm just tired from the journey. May I ask, Your Lord God, if I may go and rest for a while?"

"Go ahead, if you're tired, so be it. Why are you asking me for permission? Am I going to drag you out of bed and say, 'How can you sleep at your age?'"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ran waved his hand and said, "Anyway, you were the first one here Savior Cat, so I probably don't need to explain and introduce you again, right?"

"No need."

After receiving Chen Ran's approval, the Savior Kal'tsit immediately called the other two cats and headed towards the small castle.

Anyway, the little castle has plenty of rooms, so they can just choose a few.

"They run pretty fast."

Upon seeing this, Chen Ran couldn't help but chuckle.

It seems this Savior Kal'tsit has taken her words to heart.

After all, Chen Ran had promised her that "empathy wouldn't be activated until you, Savior Cat, come back."

So, Savior Kal'tsit, as if afraid Chen Ran would say, "Oh, Savior Cat, you're back, right? I only said I wouldn't activate Empathy until you came back, but you're back now, so come on, Savior Cat, show us how to spray water."

"Fine, let them run away then."

Chen Ran didn't mind. "Anyway, those three cats definitely won't sleep tonight. They'll probably find a big room to exchange information, discuss countermeasures, and talk about what I said before about getting a planet model to cause them trouble."

As Chen Ran said this, he turned around and walked towards the sofa.

As Chen Ran passed the small box containing the halos, he stopped and, on a whim, counted how many halos were left.

"Miumiu is a drama queen. Even if she says something like 'I would never do that,' she'll probably still secretly take a spot on someone else's pedestal."

"Adding the halo given to the Savior Cat, there are only 8 halos left out of the original 10."

There should be 8 halos left, right?

How many are left in this small box?

7.

"Huh?"

Chen Ran raised an eyebrow.
