An encounter with Liang Bing aboard the aircraft carrier

Only after more than three full hours of repairs did Lin Ran hear Azure Heaven report that the repairs were complete. By then, stars filled the sky. Monkey Brother gazed at the night sky, feeling somewhat wistful.

"This world is about to fall into chaos too."

"Don't worry, Monkey Brother. With me here, Earth won't fall into too much chaos."

"Earth needs a main god of its own. I look forward to the day you become that god."

"If none of Xiaolun and the others can shoulder the burden, I'll step up and carry it," Lin Ran said lazily. After chatting with Monkey Brother for a while, Lin Ran pushed open his door, lay down on the bed, and wished Qilin good night over Dark Communication.

Early the next morning, everyone boarded the plane. Today's training involved equipping their armor in midair and landing precisely on the deck.

The atmosphere inside the cabin was already off. Monkey Brother did not get along with Lieyang-that was a fact. As Rena was Lieyang Star's main god, Monkey Brother really had little affection for her.

As Rena kicked the dawdling Ge Xiaolun out of the plane, Lin Ran jumped out after him.

"Conquer me!" Rena grabbed Monkey Brother's wrist and jumped straight out. Just before landing, Monkey Brother activated his Combat Engine, instantly broke free of Rena's grip, and landed steadily.

Lin Ran followed the three goofballs through the hatch. A lovely figure in white slowly approached, leaving the three of them staring dumbly. Lin Ran also focused his full attention on sizing up Liang Bing. He had to admit, the queen really was beautiful without that demon outfit! Full curves and long legs-she was utterly captivating!

"Whoa, this aircraft carrier even comes with a view like that?"

"That woman-"

"Holy crap, those boobs are huge!"

"So evil!"

"Such enormous evil!"

"All you know is boobs. Xiaolun turned around to look at her ass!"

"Ah, right, right, right, right, right. Her ass is nice too."

"Come on, come on. Hurry up and assemble."

Listening to the familiar conversation, Lin Ran could not hold back a laugh.

"Brother Ran, what are you laughing at? Give us your assessment."

"Can't be bothered! Come on, let's assemble first. Rena and the others are waiting for us."

At that moment, Liang Bing was filled with confusion. Just now, she had seen Galaxy Power, the No Star God of War, and the De Star Spear, but she could not read the information of the man leading those three.

They arrived at the central control room, where a suit of black armor stood quietly inside a glass case. Lin Ran knew this was Monkey Brother's armor, but the sword beside it seemed to be for him.

Back when they had not equipped him with a weapon, he had said he wanted a sword.

"Hello, everyone. I'm General Du Kao, commander-in-chief of the Super Soldier Company."

"Old Du!"

"Wukong!"

"You know each other?"

"Of course. Wukong is Earth's true god of war. How could I not know him?"

"He just didn't expect us to be so close."

"Wukong, the Shenhe Armor is yours! And Lin Ran's weapon is finished too."

Lin Ran beckoned, and Azure Heaven began calculating the black dark alloy battle sword. In just three seconds, Azure Heaven completed its calculations, and the dark alloy greatsword instantly appeared in Lin Ran's hand. From now on, he could transport it out instantly whenever he needed it.

Lin Ran gave it a few swings. It felt good, but its capabilities were rather underwhelming.

"Azure Heaven, support Little Dark and optimize the sword in my hand," Lin Ran said calmly. This sword had been manufactured by Deno Three. Little Dark was itself a dark matter computer more advanced than Deno Three, so optimizing the sword's logical coding on its existing foundation was still within its capabilities.

Once the optimization was complete, Lin Ran tried it again. The blade was a little heavier, could draw on more dark energy, and its sharpness had risen dramatically!

Afterward, Rena dragged Qiangwei off to a meeting. With nothing to do, Lin Ran went looking for Liang Bing. She was still aboard the ship, perhaps unwilling to give up and wanting to probe his background further.

Reaching a lounge, Lin Ran knocked on the door. Liang Bing opened it in some confusion, then could not help being startled when she saw him.

"Impressive methods, Your Majesty. Deno Three really might as well not exist as far as you're concerned."

"You know who I am? Then why didn't you expose me earlier?"

"Why would I expose you? We couldn't beat you anyway."

"True enough. Little brother, you have no future following the Super God Academy. Why not follow your big sister instead? I'll be sure to nurture you properly."

"Sure! Agree to two conditions, and I'll consider joining your camp."

"Let's hear them. Your big sister is perfectly sincere, so long as they aren't too excessive."

"First, let me absorb some energy. Second, keep your Demon Legion under control. Do whatever you want with those Western countries, but you can't spread your faith here."

"Let your queen think about it," Liang Bing said, putting on a thoughtful expression.

"Take your time. I'll be going!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't go! Why are you so impatient? Your queen agrees! What does your first condition mean?"

"Nothing much. Just give me your hand." Lin Ran immediately changed his expression.

Liang Bing's great skill also gave her great courage. She had already decided that if this brat dared deceive her, she would string him up and whip him!

[Angel Gene detected. Analyzing---10%--20%--30%...100%]

[Analysis complete! Target possesses a Fourth Generation God Body. Gene model: Battle Angel! Equipped with the Void Cosmos Engine and the Demon One Celestial Computer. Weapons arsenal information unknown.]

[Recording---10%--20%--30%...100%. Recording complete!]

An immensely powerful force surged from Liang Bing's body into Lin Ran's. His god body's upgrade progress instantly jumped a considerable amount. Lin Ran estimated that with one more person on Liang Bing's level, he would be able to upgrade to a Fourth Generation God Body.

Lin Ran leisurely released Liang Bing's hand. Liang Bing looked at him in confusion. That sensation just now had been very peculiar.

"You possess Angel Genes?"

"No."

"Then why is there an anomaly in my gene system? It seems a little more advanced than before!" Liang Bing sensed the changes in herself and muttered somewhat uncertainly.

"Azure Heaven, what's going on?"

[Her gene system had an underlying logical flaw. During the genetic collision just now, it perfected itself.]

After hearing Azure Heaven's explanation, Lin Ran immediately understood. Liang Bing's gene system was probably quite intelligent, much like Azure Heaven. If Azure Heaven detected its own shortcomings, it would fill in the gaps. This was a kind of logic similar to autonomous evolution.

"All right, your queen has done what she promised. Can you come with your queen now?"

"Come? Where?"

"Are you trying to trick your queen, brat? I'm telling you, I could destroy you and those teammates of yours right now!" Liang Bing feigned a vicious tone, hoping to intimidate Lin Ran.

"I didn't trick you. I only said I'd join your camp. I never said I'd leave the Super God Academy's camp. How about this? I'll stay here normally, and you can call me if anything comes up."

"What if you cut off contact with me once your queen leaves?"

"Don't worry, I keep my word! You're the Demon King. Making an enemy of you wouldn't do me any good, would it?"

"Fine. Then remember, you're to come whenever your queen calls!" Liang Bing moved close to Lin Ran and stared straight at him as she spoke.

"Got it. Take care, Your Majesty!"

To Lin Ran's exasperation, Liang Bing called him over Dark Communication not long after leaving.

"Aren't you supposed to come whenever your queen damn well calls?"

The next moment, Lin Ran was already standing before her.

"What is it?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to test whether you really would come whenever I called!" Liang Bing said haughtily.

"All right. If there's nothing else, I'm heading back."

"Go on. In a while, I'm going to release a Super Soldier sealed on Earth. Remember to come then!"

"Sure. Just call me when the time comes."

Lin Ran stepped into a wormhole and returned to the aircraft carrier Juxia. Ge Xiaolun and the other two looked at him enviously. They wanted to travel back and forth like Lin Ran too!
