Conversation Between Angel Yan and Keisha

Angel Nebula.

Merlot City, inside Sacred Keisha's bedchamber.

"Queen, I... I got Qing Qing killed. I sent her to Earth to protect Long Qian, but I never expected Sky Scum to still exist on Earth. It was Sumari, the ancient God Slayer from that barbaric era. Qing Qing... was completely no match for Sky Scum."

After learning of Qing Qing's sacrifice, Angel Yan immediately came to the royal palace to plead guilty before Sacred Keisha.

Ordinary angel recruits, Second Generation Angels, and even High-ranking Angels without special genes had no way of defeating the ancient God Slayer, Sumari.

Qing Qing was even less likely to stand a chance. If Sumari had not fought her as though he were playing around, she would not have lasted dozens of exchanges. If he had been serious, Qing Qing probably would have been finished in a single move, let alone held on for so long and even spoken with her.

She was somewhat heartbroken. Qing Qing had not died while carrying out a mission, but because of her personal request.

Angel Yan had sent Qing Qing to Earth to protect Long Qian out of selfishness. After spending a day or two with him, she had found the child particularly mysterious, and she was filled with curiosity.

"Yan, come massage my shoulders for me!"

Keisha, seated before her dressing table, did not criticize Angel Yan. Instead, she asked her to come massage her shoulders.

Angel Yan and Keisha now seemed to share a relationship that was both teacher-and-student and mother-and-daughter.

Why did Keisha favor Yan so much? Even seven thousand years ago on Taro Star, when August Yan had spoken such treasonous words, and when Yan had trusted someone who ultimately betrayed her and caused irreparable casualties among the angels, Keisha had not blamed her too harshly. She had merely confined her and made her abstain.

In truth, the most important reason was probably Yan's mother, Angel Yu Tong.

Back when Keisha had yet to rise up in Heavenly Palace City, while she was still planning to overthrow Huaye's Heavenly Palace Order and later launching the war of resistance to become the King of Angels, Angel Yu Tong had already been Keisha's capable assistant.

In several wars, Angel Yu Tong had protected her. It could be said that although they were not blood sisters, they were closer than sisters. Yet in the end, she fell in Keisha's arms and died because of battle.

This also seemed to be the first time Keisha had shed tears. It was clear just how deep her feelings for Angel Yu Tong truly were.

Keisha was also raising Yan as a future king. Decades ago, she had planned for Yan to inherit the throne, but Pipi Xi had been right. Her Yan was, for now, truly nothing more than a pure warrior.

"Sumari, the ancient God Slayer, was Huaye's capable assistant back then. Countless sisters died at his hands, and even your mother was defeated by him.

After the Angry Sea War ended and Huaye was defeated, we did not wipe out the male angels completely. We exiled them instead. Of course, our strength did not allow it back then, since Huaye still had a million subordinates.

I never expected Sumari to have gone to Earth. Looks like Hexi will have something to play with."

Seeing Angel Yan's somewhat unnatural expression, Keisha began explaining.

An angel recruit like Qing Qing was certainly no match for a battle-hardened and exceptionally cunning Sumari.

Even if Sumari's physical data lagged far behind Angel Civilization's, it would be nothing but a fool's dream for an angel recruit to defeat him.

Without an Invincible Body, a Sub-biological Engine, or special genes, even a High-ranking Angel would likely need to put in some effort.

Of course, Sky Scum was completely negligible to her. But as the King of Gods of the known universe, she had to maintain a king's dignity. She could not simply go and kill Sumari herself.

"Queen, then why don't we directly wipe out that group of Sky Scum now?"

Angel Yan came before Keisha and began massaging her shoulders, asking in great confusion.

"Although some male angels possess certain desires, and are not as licentious and depraved as Sky Scum, they are still angels. Back then, we despised them, while the male angels who upheld the Heavenly Palace Order regarded them as outcasts. Yet they had not harmed female angels, had they? Wiping them out completely does not align with the ideals we held when we rose up to overthrow Huaye's rule.

As female angel genes grow ever stronger, male angel genes will decline. They will either grow old and die alone, or leave Heavenly City.

As for the angels who retired after participating in those battles, perhaps they still remain in contact with one another. But for tens of thousands of years, they have not come out to cause trouble, so we let them go. Perhaps when a new crisis erupts in the future, they may still be of some use, no?"

A mysterious smile appeared on Keisha's face. The known universe was not as safe and peaceful as it seemed.

The known universe still faced a massive threat: the beast-form threat, the so-called Form War.

Keisha considered more matters, and she thought much further ahead.

"Queen, Long Qian told me..."

Angel Yan looked at the immensely dignified Keisha reflected in the mirror. She hesitated, swallowing back the words she had originally wanted to say. Yes, how could Queen Keisha possibly fall? Even through a scheme, such a thing could not happen.

She had originally wanted to tell Keisha exactly what Long Qian had said that day, but when the words reached her lips, she could not bring herself to say them. Saying such things would only make her queen wary of Long Qian.

She did not want to bring Long Qian unnecessary trouble either. After thinking for several seconds, she chose not to say it. She would tell Queen Keisha later, once their relationship had progressed further.

"Hm... Qing Qing's Angel Gene has stopped collapsing?"

Keisha, who had been speaking with Yan, revealed a shocked expression. She was now extremely curious.

The Dark Data of every Angel Sister who died in battle would be recorded in her Sacred Knowledge Treasury after death. This was passively retained.

Ever since Hexi had updated the new generation of Angel Genes, all of their data had been placed on record.

What Keisha saw now was that the degree of Qing Qing's Angel Gene collapse had frozen at 99.9%. In other words, Qing Qing's Angel Gene could be considered lost. She was infinitely close to death.

With an Angel Gene collapse this severe, her Bio-engine had definitely necrosed.

Thus, Keisha was deeply puzzled. Who had used what method to stop the Angel Gene's collapse? This already defied the laws of the universe.

"Ah, the gene collapse stopped?"

Hearing her queen say this, Angel Yan also revealed a puzzled expression.

A thought surfaced in her mind. Could Long Qian have returned in time?

Other than Long Qian, she could not think of any other reason.

But now she was even more worried. Did this mean Qing Qing had violated the Just Order by returning from the dead?

"Queen, Qing Qing, she..."

Before Angel Yan could finish, Keisha interrupted her.

Keisha smiled and said, "It seems that this 'ordinary person' from the main biological world, from the Creator Civilization of the real world, truly possesses countless secrets.

Yan, I know what you want to say. Qing Qing did not die, nor did she come back to life. This does not count as violating my Just Order. He is an ordinary person. We must be patient with a new Male God. Perhaps he cannot grow to the height of a god, but he is special enough."

In Angel Yan's view, what Qing Qing had done was a violation of the Just Order, even if she...

Meanwhile, Little Milk Sha was also extremely curious. What kind of wondrous world could produce someone whose data compatibility with all of Angel Civilization reached one hundred percent?

She was curious what method Long Qian had used to stop a Super Gene from collapsing. She guessed it was not technology. An existence capable of stopping a Super Gene's collapse was simply a bug, an unsolvable existence.

However, this seemed to have side effects as well. A Super Gene ceasing to collapse did not mean it could recover. Perhaps it merely delayed death.

"Queen, Sky Scum exists on Earth. Should I or some other sisters go investigate?"

"No. Once Sumari learns that we have discovered his existence, he will hide and leave Earth. He is far more difficult to deal with than you imagine."
