Morgana's Decision

At the edge of the Angel Nebula.

Inside a small house on the planet where Su Luo and Akashi had landed.

Angel Zhixin had already shared Angel Yan's vision with Su Luo and Akashi.

Some time had passed since Angel Yan went to clear out the demons, so the first thing Su Luo and Akashi saw was an extremely bloody scene.

The image showed a small village. There were quite a few ugly demons in the village, but Angel Yan had already slain them all!

"Did a lot of demons come this time?"

Akashi blinked as she asked Zhixin beside her.

But before Zhixin could answer, Akashi got her answer.

"Not many! The others were humans who became 'demons' after being infected with the demon genes they deliberately spread!"

It was Angel Yan's voice.

"They became demons after being infected with demon genes?"

"The demon genes created by Morgana are highly adaptable and highly contagious. To the demon army, infected people are replenishments for their troops. That is also how the demon army can expand so rapidly!"

"Of course, the demon army currently lacks resources and is still in the process of recovering its combat strength, so they do not have enough resources to spread complete demon genes. These infected demons can be considered inferior products! Even ordinary demon soldiers look down on them!"

There was a hint of mockery in Angel Yan's voice as she explained it to Akashi in as much detail as possible.

"So... originally, these demons were actually humans. They were just infected by something like a virus and turned into demons?"

Akashi frowned as she thought it over.

"Can't the infection be removed and turn them all back?"

The view on the screen shook. Clearly, Angel Yan herself, the one witnessing those scenes, was shaking her head.

"I understand what you mean, but it can't be done!"

Before Akashi could ask further, Angel Yan continued.

"The demon gene infection does not merely change their appearance into that of demons. Their awareness and thoughts also change along with it."

As Angel Yan spoke, she looked in another direction.

In the image Akashi and Su Luo could see, blood had gathered on the ground into a tiny river. And that blood... came from the other villagers.

"They only infected some of the people. The rest... were treated as toys by those whose minds had already changed after being infected... used to vent their desires, or for other things..."

Akashi pressed her lips together.

"After being infected, their awareness and way of thinking have already changed. Even if the demon genes are removed, their minds and awareness would still need to be dealt with somehow."

"Changing those things would inevitably involve memories. Manipulating memories is still very complicated. It is manageable when there are few people, but when there are many... there simply isn't enough time!"

Akashi nodded and did not ask any more questions. She did not doubt or question Angel Yan's methods; she was merely curious.

After answering Akashi's questions, Angel Yan flew into the sky. Red light flashed across the blade in her hand, and in the next instant, the small village was engulfed in blazing flames.

After doing that, Angel Yan headed for the next location.

There were not many demons who had descended upon this planet, but the trouble they caused this time was not small.

Angel Yan traveled through several locations in succession. There were small villages, small towns, and even large cities.

Other than the large cities, by the time Angel Yan arrived at the smaller places, there were no survivors left! All they could see was devastation. Blood flowing like a river was truly laid out before them at that moment...

Following Angel Yan's gaze, Akashi and Su Luo witnessed the demons' so-called 'freedom.'

Akashi did not find it particularly bloody. As a ship, what scenes had she not seen before? Su Luo, however, frowned slightly. Everyone in the port area had protected him well, and he truly found these scenes difficult to bear. His disgust toward demons gradually rose as well.

As if noticing Su Luo's expression, Zhixin blinked and thoughtfully blocked out the bloody parts. Su Luo's expression improved considerably.

Thanks to her overwhelming strength, Angel Yan quickly dealt with those demons.

Soon, Angel Yan appeared outside the small house once more.

"Yan!"

Zhixin nodded, gave up her chair, and sat down on Akashi's bed again.

Angel Yan did not decline and sat directly in the chair Zhixin had vacated.

"Su Luo, Akashi, sorry to keep you waiting! The special situation has been dealt with. We can continue our previous discussion!"

Akashi looked at Su Luo. She deferred to his opinion.

Su Luo nodded without objecting.

"We have now seen the demons' 'freedom' and 'depravity' with our own eyes. Indeed, if a world were ruled by such an order... that truly would not be a good thing!"

Su Luo still had something he did not say. To the strong, the demons' 'freedom' meant doing whatever they pleased. Under such circumstances, the strong would pursue greater power more and more desperately.

It was still the same question: had the universe containing the port area become connected to this universe or not?

If it had, then one day... even if Void creatures did not appear, might these civilizations that had lost all restraint discover the location of the universe containing the port area...

What he wanted was a peaceful, quiet port area, not one where people came knocking every other day looking for trouble.

After considering it again and again, Su Luo decided that, to be safe, cooperation could still be discussed.

Better to prevent trouble before it happened.

"Mm... considering our current situation and yours, cooperation is not impossible... then let us discuss cooperation."

While Su Luo and Angel Yan discussed the terms of cooperation, elsewhere, inside Sorrowful Song Academy.

"Bitch!"

Morgana casually cursed.

"Why did that bitch Kaisha react so quickly this time?"

Morgana's face was dark with anger. The subordinate who had come to report stood silently to the side, waiting for her decision upon seeing how furious her Queen was.

Carl, who had been watching Morgana from the side, spoke up instead.

"Liang Bing, don't be so angry. Queen Keisha is no fool. What you can think of, she can naturally think of as well..."

Carl had barely said a few words before Morgana started cursing at him.

"Shut up, you bitch! What the hell do you know? No one understands that bitch Kaisha better than I do!"

"You bitch, you're even speaking up for that bitch Kaisha! You're all bitches! Hmph!"

Morgana rolled her eyes at Carl, ignored him, and strode off to one side, looking as though she did not want to speak to him.

Carl shook her head, his expression calm as she turned around and continued the research she had just been doing.

Having walked aside, Morgana silently pondered to herself.

"This situation is far too unusual. The truth is definitely not that simple!"

"There must be something hidden on the planet visited by the squad that was wiped out first among the second group we sent!"

Morgana looked at the demon waiting nearby and asked.

"Other than the demon squads we sent being wiped out again, what other intelligence is there?"

"Before the third squad was wiped out, they sent back relevant footage."

The demon subordinate recalled it before answering.

"Why didn't you say so earlier, bitch! Show it to me!"

"Yes, Queen."

The subordinate shrank back slightly and projected the footage for Morgana.

"This is... Angel Yan? That bitch Kaisha's left-wing guard?"

"One squad was completely wiped out by Angel Yan. There were no other angels besides her..."

Morgana glanced at the location where the squad had been before it was wiped out. Mm, the third squad had been the first squad wiped out this time...

"That bitch Kaisha's Sacred Left Wing is guarding a planet that the angels have already cleared once... Is there something on that planet that the angels care about?"

Morgana narrowed her eyes in speculation. A moment later, she made her decision.

"Send two smarter ones to that planet. Stay hidden and do not let them discover you. Find out exactly what is so special about that planet!"

The demon subordinate nodded at Morgana's orders and headed outside.

"I'd like to see what exactly you're hiding!"

Morgana snorted, turned around, and looked at Carl, who seemed to be seriously conducting experiments but was actually glancing at her from the corner of her eye now and then. She snorted again.

"Carl, where are the resources I asked for?"

"Liang Bing, I have already arranged them for you. The first batch of resources has already been handed over to you!"

"Not enough! Are you trying to fool a child with that little amount of resources?!!!"

"Liang Bing, allocating resources takes time. Don't be so impatient!"

"Hmph, bitch, they're all excuses!"

Carl shook her head without getting angry, her expression remaining gentle.

"Liang Bing, don't worry. The remaining resources will arrive soon!"

"Fine, I'll wait! Hurry it up!"

"No problem, Liang Bing!"

Morgana nodded.

"And don't call me Liang Bing!"

"Okay, Liang Bing!"

"Fuck, bitch!"
