The Result

When Angel Yan and Angel Zhixin had just arrived next to Su Luo and his companions and were conversing with them, based on the information revealed by Su Luo and Akashi, it seemed that the Angel Civilization was not lacking in resources... they probably weren't.

Technology... The technological level of the other party's world was clearly higher than theirs. Su Luo's previous claim of mastering time was not to be discussed, as it couldn't be verified for now. However, the cube that the Sacred Knowledge Repository couldn't decipher was concrete proof. The other party could mass-produce something that they couldn't even analyze...

And as their most proud and confident means, the Angels themselves... Currently, they didn't hold much appeal for Su Luo. Not to mention, Su Luo had already answered her question. For ship girls like Akashi, Su Luo's world had many, and they even possessed the technology to manufacture ship girls... Kaisha knew perfectly well what this meant.

Sighing inwardly, Kaisha could only try her best to think of what to say, to see how she could attract Su Luo's attention more, so that the Angel Civilization could reach this cooperation with him.

For Su Luo and his group, this cooperation might not mean much, but for the Angels, this cooperation was essential! After all, this was a fallback plan Kaisha was finding for the Angel Civilization. It was a retreat for the Angel Civilization when facing a survival crisis in the future.

Kaisha felt helpless, constantly thinking. In secret, the Dark Plane communication system had been trying to contact Hexi, but Hexi had long since blocked communications, and it was impossible to get through now.

In the small cabin, Su Luo looked at Kaisha, who was frowning opposite him, a faint smile appearing on his lips.

After a moment of silence from Kaisha's side, Su Luo spoke again.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not refusing to cooperate! I still agree to this cooperation."

Kaisha, whose brows were furrowed, heard Su Luo's words and was stunned for a moment. Angel Yan and Angel Zhixin in the cabin were also a little dazed. Only Akashi understood what her Commander was thinking. As for Azi...

Azi was sitting in Akashi's arms, playing with a Manjuu.

By the way, the silly "rabbit" that Akashi had prepared for Azi as a pet was rejected by Azi. Azi also seemed to think it was too silly.

Akashi had originally planned to release the silly rabbit, but now, she had a new plan for the "rabbit" that was so silly it made one doubt if eating it would affect one's intelligence!

"You agree to cooperate?"

Kaisha asked again to confirm.

"That's right, I agree! I said it from the beginning, let's talk about cooperation... didn't we?"

Angel Yan recalled that Su Luo had indeed said that at the beginning.

"So... you mean you agree to cooperate, but you're not satisfied with the terms of cooperation we proposed, or rather, the rewards we can offer you, is that right?"

"Exactly!"

Su Luo nodded in confirmation.

Kaisha nodded, and the tension in her heart, which had just relaxed, tightened slightly again.

Su Luo didn't give Kaisha much time to think and said, "Regarding the terms of cooperation you mentioned, our side believes they need to be modified!"

"No matter how you look at it, what you just proposed sounds more like asking us for help, rather than... cooperation! As for asking for help, your initial attitude towards us was not satisfactory. From the perspective of cooperation, the terms you proposed do not provide us with sufficient benefits."

Although this was indeed the case, Kaisha was still somewhat silent upon hearing Su Luo's words.

As Su Luo spoke, his gaze fell on Azi for a moment before he continued to address Kaisha.

"Therefore, our side believes that the terms of cooperation need to be changed."

"How do you want to change it?"

Kaisha calmed down and asked Su Luo.

"Since it's cooperation, then... it should look like cooperation."

Su Luo looked at the projection in front of him, sat up straighter, and said solemnly.

"What your Angel Civilization seeks... is nothing more than... the continuation and stability of the Angel Civilization after the Justice Order that rules the universe is overthrown!"

"This point actually has little to do with our port. We have no reason to manage your affairs. Because the benefits you can bring to the port... are indeed not many."

Su Luo first belittled the value of the Angel Civilization to lower their expectations. Although he was speaking the truth.

"However, considering that if your universe becomes unstable, it might affect the stability of the world where the port is located one day... for this reason, we can still cooperate with you."

"As for the content of the cooperation..."

Su Luo paused, his gaze sweeping over Kaisha's projection, as well as Angel Yan and Angel Zhixin beside her. He was satisfied with their somewhat defeated and confused gazes, and then continued.

"The terms of cooperation are set as follows: deal with the evil elements that cause chaos in this universe. That is, the people you call Morgana and Karl."

"On this point, both sides can cooperate. At that time, the port will provide you with necessary assistance. And, if the Angel Civilization truly encounters the crisis of civilization extinction that you mentioned, the port will, as you expect, help you find a new suitable place for the Angel Civilization to live."

"This is not difficult. Whether you want to go to any area or parallel universe in your Known Universe, or to any parallel universe in the port's world, it's all possible!"

"Even if you feel reluctant to leave your homeland, we can even help you shield the location of your Merlot Heavenly Court, so that outsiders cannot enter. Don't doubt it, the mirror sea area technology can achieve this, it's just... a bit large. But the sea of stars is also a sea!"

Su Luo shrugged.

"Let's return to the content of the cooperation itself. Previously, the method you wanted to adopt was to let events unfold and only try to protect the continuation of the Angel Civilization. However, doing so would still leave the universe in chaos, and more and more people and civilizations would suffer the pain we just saw through Angel Yan's eyes... perhaps even worse. To watch the Known Universe become like this would be contrary to your original intention of establishing a Justice Order, wouldn't it? This is also why you just 'entrusted' us with your civilization."

"And what I want to cooperate with you on is... to continue your Angel Civilization's rule over this Known Universe and eliminate those who bring chaos, both people and forces. Such cooperation would be beneficial to both you Angels and us, wouldn't it?"

"You can continue to govern this Known Universe, making it more peaceful and beautiful. And our port will also avoid being disturbed by various messy things in the future, allowing us to live peacefully."

"After all... if you truly reach the point where you need us to help you find a new home... you will no longer have the opportunity to gain the high status you have in the Known Universe like you do now!"

Su Luo finished speaking and quietly waited for Kaisha's decision.

What order was implemented in this universe actually had little to do with Su Luo and the port. However, implementing a Justice Order here was more beneficial to the port!

After all, whether it was Karl's Void or Death, Morgana's Fall and Freedom, or Lieyang's Heavenly Dao... none of them were as good as the Angels' Justice Order for the port.

Karl might court death and attract all sorts of enemies.

Morgana's order would bring about results similar to Karl's. The strong would remain strong, and the weak would become weaker! Powerful civilizations would begin to "involution" to become stronger than others, initiating an arms race between civilizations until they touch upon taboos and, like the suicidal Karl, attract all sorts of enemies...

As for Lieyang's Heavenly Dao...

Lieyang is indeed pragmatic. If someone is stronger than them, then the nation will be prosperous and the people at peace. If they are the strongest, they will execute the Heavenly Dao...

It's not that they couldn't cooperate with Lieyang, but the key issue is... Lieyang's strength is not comparable to the Angels. When facing Karl or Morgana, they would be at a significant disadvantage compared to the Angel Civilization!

This means that if they chose Lieyang... it wouldn't be a simple matter of providing some assistance; it would be blatant poverty alleviation.

The port requires the stability of this world, so that it doesn't constantly attract some random high-dimensional enemies who then run from some obscure corner to the universe where the port is located to cause trouble.

They aren't here with good intentions to provide technological instruction!

Not to mention, they are currently dealing with Angels, not Lieyang. Lieyang would be even less likely to be chosen!

The Alpha World proved one thing: messing around leads to death!

And the Angel Civilization's Justice Order... from the port's perspective, it completely triumphs over other orders in one aspect: it does not acknowledge the existence of higher intelligence and prohibits research in that direction.

This perfectly aligns with Su Luo's requirements. As long as the civilizations in this world don't court death, they won't attract any troublesome things, which means they won't pose any interference to the port. There's no need to worry about any messy entities popping out to disrupt the peaceful life of the port.

As for the argument that the civilizations in this world might experience slow or even stagnant technological development due to the suppression of the Angels' Justice Order.

Who among the few people sitting in this room cares?

Kaisha was silent for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with Su Luo's statement.

Or rather, she didn't actually have the right to choose.

"Alright, I agree to the conditions you've stated. Likewise, as I said before, you can handle anything the Angel Civilization possesses however you wish, as long as you need it!"

Su Luo nodded, not saying anything about not needing or looking down on anything, giving the Angel Civilization some face.

"Then, happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation."
