Negotiation? Chu Yang’s Dominance! Morgana Couldn’t Take It Anymore
Above Gorge City.
Watching the ship pierce through the clouds like a sharp sword, every officer and soldier aboard the Gorge-Class stood on high alert.
Angels!
This term, once heard only in legends, had been mentioned more and more often since the end of the Tianhe Battle.
The angels of legend represented holiness and light, but as news of aliens and superpowers spread, to Earthlings, angels were now nothing more than aliens.
The Taotie brought death, demons brought corruption. Earthlings had long since lost any goodwill toward aliens. Who knew what the angels’ arrival would bring?
On the deck of the Gorge-Class, every member of the Super Soldier Company wore a grave expression. The angels had come at the worst possible time.
Just yesterday, something had suddenly happened to Leina. The demons had controlled her through dreams, and no one knew what they would do with her power.
It was not just Leina. Sun Wukong had also been missing for some time. Supposedly, he had gone to seek out certain memories, but no one knew the details.
After word spread that the Lord of Pangu had gone to the Styx, Sun Wukong had become Earth’s greatest combat force. Yet now he had vanished without a trace, reducing the Super Soldier Company’s combat strength to its lowest point.
On her throne, Keisha crossed her legs and rested her chin on one hand, gazing down indifferently as she chuckled. "Isn’t this Du Kao, the war fanatic?"
"So you were here. No wonder Earth is such a mess."
Du Kao looked up at the sky, narrowing his eyes. He knew why the angels had come to Earth. He knew of the cooperation between Keisha and Chu Yang. More importantly, he knew that Chu Yang was currently on Earth, which gave him considerable confidence.
"Give me one minute to read Earth…"
White light covered Keisha’s eyes as she used the Sacred Knowledge Vault to read all of Earth’s information.
Back on the moon, Keisha had not investigated Earth at all, allowing everything to continue fermenting.
This stemmed from the confidence of the King of Gods, but also from the influence of the Justice Order, which made her unwilling to take even the slightest action that would break her promise.
Since she had said she would not descend upon Earth within two months, she would take no action against Earth whatsoever.
The white light faded, and Keisha said flatly, "A rather beautiful world, but its entire history has been war. No wonder Carl took an interest in Earth!"
"Oh? The chief instructor of the Super Soldier Company is that Pangu chief god?"
"Interesting… That cosmological scholar was him too. It seems my guess was correct…"
She had learned about Chu Yang by reading Du Kao’s information.
"War? Aren’t you here for war as well?" Du Kao demanded loudly.
Even if this was a war between angels and demons, once Earth had been chosen as the battlefield, Earthlings would inevitably be caught up in it.
"You think too highly of yourselves. But since Chu Yang is an Earthling, you do indeed qualify to be taken seriously by the angels."
"Du Kao, there are matters you cannot decide. Have Chu Yang come see me instead!" Keisha looked down as though a monarch issuing an edict.
On the deck, Ge Xiaolun grimaced as if he had a toothache and curled his lips. "Damn… That high-and-mighty old woman act is really annoying!"
"Chief, can I speak for myself?"
Du Kao glanced at him, then nodded.
The Galaxy Force represented limitless potential. He was a future god-level being. Though he had yet to fully mature, he still possessed a certain right to speak.
"Hey! You on the couch! The older one…"
Ge Xiaolun had barely begun his trash talk when Keisha interrupted him directly. "Oh! This little runt is the Galaxy Force?"
Du Kao’s gaze turned cold. "Holy Keisha! Since you came to negotiate, you should at least act like you’re negotiating!"
"Negotiate? Heh…" Keisha smiled. "Only Chu Yang on Earth is qualified to negotiate with me…"
Angel Yan, who had been searching for Morgana’s location all this time, suddenly said, "Reporting to the Queen, Morgana’s location has been locked, but it is uncertain whether she has upgraded to a Fourth Generation God Body."
"If we carry out a full-power Tian Ren Judgment now, we may be able to defeat her again, but it will harm Earth’s residents!"
"The number could be… one million!"
Keisha waved a hand, signaling her to prepare the Tian Ren Judgment. Then she smiled down below. "The choice can be left to humanity itself…"
Angel Yan’s wings shook, and she shot rapidly into the sky. But before she could leave the atmosphere, a black streak came whistling in from the side.
The black streak instantly pierced through Yan’s waist and abdomen. Its momentum dragged her body swiftly downward before brutally pinning her to the deck of the Gorge-Class!
The deck cracked, sending rubble and dust flying.
The Super Soldier Company was startled. Liu Chuang cried out even more dramatically, "Holy shit! Where did this huge black rat come from?"
Once the dust settled, everyone saw clearly that what had nailed Yan to the deck was an ancient-looking black longsword!
"Yan!" Zhixin, Chase, Cold, and the other angels cried out. They gripped their holy swords, waiting only for an order from their queen before making their move.
On her throne, Keisha narrowed her eyes. She raised a hand to stop the angels and said softly, "Chu Yang, show yourself!"
"Though I cannot analyze your power, I remember this aura."
"You attacked my left-wing guard. Are you preparing to go to war with the angels?"
As soon as she spoke, terrifying dark energy swept through the air. Electronic devices across half the planet malfunctioned in an instant, while alarms from Deno No. 3 blared continuously in the Gorge-Class command center.
On the deck, Chu Yang silently appeared beside Yan. He glanced at the beautiful angel, who was still struggling, then smiled as he pulled Fengdu out and waved at Ge Xiaolun. "Sorry, I hit your wife a little too hard!"
Ge Xiaolun was utterly bewildered. He looked at Yan, then at Rose beside him, repeatedly waving his hands. "No… No…"
"Rose, listen to me! I’ve never even met her!"
Rose turned her head away, too lazy to listen to his explanation. She did not care about it either, yet she still felt inexplicably irritated.
Chu Yang glanced at her. It seemed this girl had some feelings for Ge Xiaolun. It was just that in the original storyline, she had been forced to make a choice and had strangled those feelings in the cradle.
But he had changed everything. Earth would break free from the vortex, and Rose would no longer need to compromise with Morgana for Earth’s sake.
In that case, what would Rose ultimately choose?
No matter how he looked at it, she had no reason to join the demon camp.
Ge Xiaolun looked at Chu Yang with some resentment, unable to understand why his instructor was messing with him.
Yan possessed a Third Generation God Body, and Chu Yang had not intended to kill her, so her injuries were not severe. After struggling to her feet, she immediately wanted to draw her sword against Chu Yang.
But Chu Yang merely waved his hand lightly, and Yan instantly lost all ability to resist. She fell onto the ground on her backside, unable to summon even the slightest strength.
Deprivation!
After refining all the Infinity Stones with the Refining Treasure Sutra, the divine tree in the temple had borne a fruit, granting Chu Yang this ability powered by the Infinity Stones.
The effect of the ability was exactly as its name implied: with a single thought, he could deprive a target of something.
He could deprive them of power, deprive them of life, even deprive them of their souls!
Of course, this deprivation depended on absolute suppression. Chu Yang was stronger than Yan, so he could instantly deprive her of her power.
In battles between opponents of the same level, he could deprive an enemy’s attack of energy and elements. It was an utterly overpowered support ability.
Both sides might clash with full-force attacks, only for the enemy’s attack to have part of its power forcibly stripped away before it could even reach Chu Yang. The result was obvious.
In relative terms, weakening the enemy’s combat strength was equivalent to strengthening his own.
The most terrifying aspect of Deprivation lay in the absolute control a superior had over an inferior. Just like Yan at this moment, her heart was filled with helplessness.
Keisha remained calm. Looking at Chu Yang, she said, "Another power I cannot comprehend. I even wonder whether you are truly a creature of the Known Universe."
Chu Yang shrugged. "Queen Keisha, are you overturning your own theory of secondary creatures?"
In Keisha’s theory, the creatures that existed in the Known Universe were primary creatures, the rulers of the universe.
Those so-called voids, unseen things, and even things that did not exist were secondary creatures.
The distinction between primary and secondary had always been a lofty conclusion, but Chu Yang possessed such overwhelming strength that if he were classified as a secondary creature, Keisha’s theory would seem rather laughable.
Though Keisha was arrogant, there was merit in her theory.
Void Creatures existed and were powerful, but they could indeed be defined as secondary creatures.
After all, Void Creatures could be commanded by Carl, Ge Xiaolun could contend with them, and he might even be able to defeat them!
Moreover, Void Creatures truly did not exist within the subjective universe.
Keisha sidestepped the subject and asked instead, "Do you have any connection to Pangu Civilization?"
Chu Yang did not avoid the question. He shook his head. "No. It was all nonsense!"
Keisha laughed. To think that she, the King of Gods, had been deceived by Chu Yang time and again. Yet she was not angry; she found it rather amusing instead.
"Tell me! What exactly is your purpose?"
Keisha’s smile faded. "You dared attack my left-wing guard, which means that compared to two months ago, you now have the confidence to stand against the angels."
"I could even interpret it as… you possess the power to destroy me!"
Chu Yang smiled. "I never intended to make enemies of the angels, nor do I wish to be enemies with any civilization."
"I will not interfere in your war once it leaves Earth."
"But on Earth, warriors or gods from any civilization must sheathe their fangs and lay down their weapons!"
With Chu Yang’s appearance, Keisha’s dark energy could no longer affect Earth. At the same time, Lianfeng, who was operating Deno No. 3, broadcast the current scene live onto every screen around the world.
This was clearly not Du Kao’s doing. This war fanatic was capable of commanding battles, but he was far less skilled at uniting public sentiment and morale.
This decision had been issued by Uncle Huang in the command center.
As he put it, this was a war of gods, and Earth needed a god to step forward!
The people of the world also needed to know that when facing alien civilizations, Earth was not at the mercy of others!
Chu Yang’s words were like a powerful stimulant, rekindling hope in the hearts of Earthlings who had grown numb and despairing from disaster and death.
"You should say that to Morgana. The demons have harmed Earth, and the angels will judge her!"
Keisha said calmly, "We are not enemies. Earth is worthy of protection under the Justice Order, but it must pay a small price."
"A small price?" Chu Yang suddenly sneered. "The lives of a million Earthlings are no more than ants in your eyes."
"Keisha, our cooperation exists on a cosmic level, but on Earth, angels are no nobler than any other lifeform!"
"If you bring down judgment, then I can only judge you first…"
As he spoke, Chu Yang ran a hand across Fengdu’s blade. Sun and moon rose from his shoulders, making him resemble an Ancient God!
A terrifying aura soared into the sky. Many angels could not withstand the pressure and began to sway unsteadily.
Keisha’s expression sharpened. She waved a hand, once again drawing upon vast dark energy to block Chu Yang’s aura. Only then did the angels steady themselves.
But when they looked at Chu Yang again, every expression had turned grave, as if they faced a great enemy.
Only a few minutes had passed, yet the two sides’ positions had completely reversed.
Just moments ago, the Super Soldier Company had been on edge, gritting their teeth as they glared at the gods.
Now, the angels were the ones filled with tension, their lofty demeanor gone.
Chu Yang raised his eyelids slightly. "Morgana, come to Gorge City!"
Through the connection Jarvis had established with Demon One, his voice rang directly in Morgana’s ears.
Not long afterward, Morgana’s projection appeared above Gorge City.
She looked at Chu Yang standing with sword in hand, then at Keisha on her throne. Remembering the past two days she had spent like a corporate slave, an inexplicable rage rose in her heart, and she cursed, "Keisha! You bitch!"
"Angel Civilization really is like a pack of dogs, following the scent all the way to Earth!"
"Your queen is right here! If you’ve got the guts, come at me!"
Chu Yang’s face darkened. He slightly raised Fengdu and said flatly, "Morgana, you want to use Earth as a weapon? Aren’t you afraid of hurting yourself?"
Morgana immediately fell silent. She had been watching the situation in Gorge City all along. Seeing Chu Yang control Yan with a mere gesture, and even make Keisha wary, how could she possibly want to provoke such a formidable enemy?
"I cannot be bothered with your affairs. Before the Void Battlefield is completed, you cannot fight."
"Once the Void Battlefield has been completed, as long as you leave Earth, fight however you want!"
Keisha was silent for a moment before saying, "Chu Yang, I have no objection to your desire to protect Earth."
"But if Morgana keeps hiding here, then you will not merely be protecting Earth. You will be protecting the demons as well!"
Chu Yang waved a hand. "Relax. Once she finishes building the Void Battlefield, I’ll make her get lost."
"I @&*#¥$!!!"
Morgana finally snapped and began cursing loudly. The corners of the Super Soldier Company members’ mouths twitched, while the residents of Gorge City stared at one another.
A god… could curse so foully too?
Keisha’s head began to ache from listening. She raised a hand and forcibly cut off Morgana’s projection, then looked at Chu Yang. "I agree. Before the War Council begins, I will not attack Morgana. But Tian Ren No. 7 will remain here. I need to monitor Morgana’s movements at all times."
"Also… for you, the War Council will be a test for the ascension of a new king. You should prepare yourself mentally."
