Super Game Maker Restarted

In Amagi, with the negotiations concluded and everything basically settled, Queen Keisha relaxed considerably. She let out a long breath and rose from her throne.

After stretching a little, Queen Keisha sent another Dark Plane communication request to Hexi.

After a long while, Hexi still did not answer. However, there was now a signal from Hexi's side, which meant she had lifted her block on receiving Dark Plane messages.

Queen Keisha blinked and sent Hexi a message.

"Hexi, you've lost your throne!"

The message was sent. A moment later, it showed that the other side had received it. Queen Keisha blinked as she waited for a reply.

Just as Queen Keisha expected, before long, her communication channel received a call from Hexi.

A smile appeared on Queen Keisha's face as she leisurely accepted Hexi's call.

"Old hag, are you tired of living?!!!"

Hexi's very first words made Queen Keisha's expression stiffen slightly.

"Hexi, you don't have to be so... direct. As the Heavenly Base King, shouldn't you show some kingly courtesy?"

"All right, then... Kaisha, are you tired of living?"

On the other end of the communication channel, Hexi blinked and used a somewhat more polite form of address.

Queen Keisha's cheeks remained stiff.

"Hexi!"

Queen Keisha's tone became firmer.

On the other end, Hexi clicked her tongue before replying.

"Fine, fine, I get it! Then, my respected Queen Keisha, have you come to your senses and decided not to abdicate?"

Pretending to worship Queen Keisha deeply, Hexi asked her in an exceedingly fawning voice.

Queen Keisha curled her lips. She knew Hexi was still being cheeky, but she was in a good mood and could not be bothered to argue with her.

"Yes, I've come to my senses! I'm not abdicating. So, Hexi, you've lost your throne!"

"Tch, so what if I have? I never wanted it anyway. Did you think I wanted to be dragged back into service?"

"So, how did you come to your senses?"

Hexi became more serious as she questioned Queen Keisha.

"I spoke with Su Luo, and we ultimately reached a partnership agreement. The terms are that they will help us eliminate the people and forces in the Known Universe that threaten the Justice Order."

"You proposed it?"

There was some confusion in Hexi's voice.

"No, Su Luo proposed it!"

"And you agreed?"

Hexi sounded even more confused.

"Yes!"

"Liang Bing is included among those forces, right? Have you made up your mind?"

"Liang Bing died when she thrust that sword at me. The one who exists now is merely Morgana."

"Heh, looks like you've truly let go."

On the other end of the communication, Hexi smiled and shook her head.

"In the past, you were never this decisive when it came to Morgana. After all, throughout the wars between angels and demons, you had many chances to kill her."

"But you didn't, did you?"

Queen Keisha did not deny it.

"That was part of the reason, but not all of it."

"And the other part?"

"Morgana hated me, not the angels of Amagi. So, if the Justice Order were ever truly overthrown, after I was gone, Morgana—or rather, Liang Bing—would also have been a source of support for the Angel Civilization."

"And now?"

"Now? As I just said, Liang Bing died when she thrust that sword at me."

Inside the Sorrowful Song Academy.

Morgana was arranging the resurrection plans for the demon legion.

In their last war against the Angel Civilization, the demon legion had suffered tremendous losses. Only recently had some members been resurrected one by one, and she had basically sent all of them out to cause trouble for the angels, preventing them from discovering the demons' hiding place too early.

Now, the resources Carl had prepared for her had finally been delivered. Having grown considerably wealthier, Morgana could finally begin resurrecting more members of her legion.

"Carl, the resources are in place. I've arranged the resurrection of the demon warriors, and their Dark Plane genetic data is ready too. Hurry up and use the Great Clock to gather energy and revive them for me! I can't wait to lead my warriors into battle against that bitch Kaisha again!"

Carl sighed.

"Liang Bing, don't be impatient. We still need to wait. The time is near, and Queen Keisha will certainly be dealt with then."

Morgana looked at Carl and snorted.

"Hmph, I know. Wait. I'll wait for the day Kaisha gets killed!"

Carl nodded and was just about to say something when Morgana abruptly turned hostile.

"But I just told you to gather the energy immediately. I'm resurrecting my legion! Bitch!"

Carl froze for a moment, then nodded again.

"I'll begin gathering stellar energy at once. However, Liang Bing, to avoid alerting Queen Keisha, gathering enough stars will take some time!"

"Then why aren't you hurrying up? Bitch!"

"Liang Bing, I've already begun gathering it. Just wait patiently!"

Morgana rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay Carl any attention.

"Fine, Carl, I'll wait. But you had better ensure that the energy needed to resurrect my warriors is supplied properly! If the resurrection fails and resources are wasted because the energy supply is interrupted or insufficient, Carl, that will be your responsibility! You'll compensate me for my losses then."

Carl nodded, not particularly concerned about that. With the Great Clock at work, how could such a mistake happen?

"Liang Bing, don't worry."

Morgana glanced at him, rolled her eyes again, and looked toward the doorway.

A demon stood at the entrance.

"What is it?"

"Queen, the warrior sent to the Angel Nebula to investigate is nearly in position."

"Nearly there?"

Morgana blinked.

"Yes. Understood. Once he arrives, have him investigate the situation thoroughly. If he discovers anything, report to me immediately."

"Yes, Queen!"

Inside the cabin, lunch was over, and Su Luo had finished his discussion with the angels. He handed Azi over to Angel Zhixin's care.

He then followed Akashi outside.

Angel Yan carried out her duty as a guard and followed alongside Su Luo and Akashi.

By her calculations, the Commander and she had been in this world for more than a day. Akashi believed that their companions in the port area had likely already begun searching for them.

On that point, Akashi had sufficient confidence in her companions at the port area.

Moreover, the Commander had now formed a partnership with the Angel Civilization, and the angels had even sent someone to help protect him. Their current surroundings were therefore quite safe.

Furthermore, a solution had been found for replenishing the Commander's genetic system energy. Thus, the Super Game Maker that Akashi had shut down over concerns for the Commander's safety... could now be considered for activation.

They could also begin trying to contact the port area.

Outside, Akashi glanced at Angel Yan. After thinking it over, she decided not to ask Angel Yan to leave.

Although the Super Game Maker had a game-balance-like mechanism that adjusted the strength of generated monsters according to the strength of the "players," having only Angel Yan added to their side should not be a problem.

Su Luo understood this as well, which was one reason he had not agreed to go to the Merlot Heavenly Court immediately when Queen Keisha invited him earlier.

After all... if the Super Game Maker judged every angel in Amagi as their companion and generated opponents with matching strength... Su Luo felt that Morgana and Carl would probably laugh themselves silly.

After signaling Angel Yan to protect Su Luo, Akashi took the Super Game Maker from her cargo hold.

A moment later, Akashi had completed the steps required before activating the Game Maker. She looked at Su Luo again and told him and Angel Yan to stay alert.

Then Akashi took a deep breath and pressed the start button on the screen.
