In the security office of the Angel Building in Tianhe City, Huaxia, a few security guards were whispering among themselves.
"Zhang Zheng is late again."
Everyone was betting on what excuse Zhang Zheng would use today. They were already used to Zhang Zheng's tardiness, but they were curious about the latest ridiculous reason he would come up with.
Newbie guard A: "Maybe Brother Zheng was caught in traffic! After all, it's rush hour."
How naive! This was the consensus among the older guards about the newbie's simple-mindedness. Traffic was not an issue. Zhang Zheng lived in an apartment right across from the Angel Building.
"Probably, he was helping an old lady cross the street or got lost in the journey of life."
The older guards recalled that Zhang Zheng's previous excuses for being late were quite nonsensical. Especially Captain Liu Lang, who was often fooled by Zhang Zheng's excuses.
Although Zhang Zheng was always late, he had a good reputation among his colleagues. He was cheerful, easy-going, and a graduate of a prestigious university. Yet, he ended up working as a security guard at Angel International, which many of his colleagues found puzzling.
"Good morning," Zhang Zheng greeted his colleagues with a smile.
"Sorry, Captain Liu, this morning a black cat was blocking my door, and I couldn't get out, so I'm late."
"Captain Liu… here we go again with a new excuse."
Even Captain Liu Lang, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help but curse inwardly. This was another new excuse.
Everyone in the security office laughed lightly, as this had become a daily routine. Zhang Zheng, who was 24 years old this year, had been a traveler from another world for a year, brought here by the Marvel system. The system provided him with a beginner's gift pack and then went silent.
Fortunately, the gift pack contained three god-tier items: Sentinel Serum, Infinity Gauntlet, and Stormbreaker. Zhang Zheng wasn't too concerned about the system going silent. With the beginner's gift pack, he could ignore everyone and become a dominant force in the universe.
However, everyone underestimated him. Although Zhang Zheng was initially fearful after arriving in the Super God Academy world, having gained power, he lost his sense of crisis and returned to his laid-back routine.
After graduating from university, Zhang Zheng took up a job as a security guard to make ends meet. Knowing that Earth would soon become a battleground for the gods, he didn't care much about money. Whenever he had some, he would treat everyone to meals and drinks.
As a result, despite his laid-back attitude, Zhang Zheng was well-liked. Even though he was late today, everyone let it slide with a smile, and no one really held it against him. At most, a few older colleagues would give him some gentle advice.
But today was destined to be different. In the top-floor meeting room, Chairman Wu and a group of senior executives were discussing a new acquisition plan. Suddenly, a meteor streaked across the sky and crashed into the meeting room.
This scared the senior executives out of their wits. What was happening? Even a meeting was interrupted by a meteor?
Everyone thought anxiously.
Chairman Wu, sitting in the front, saw through the smoke and realized it wasn't a meteor at all. On the chair sat a beautiful female angel. Seeing this, Wu quickly instructed everyone to leave the meeting room.
Wu was also quite nervous. Her family believed in angels. Angel International was actually established to serve angels, but she had never seen a real angel before.
Seeing that everyone had left the meeting room, Wu slowly approached the angel, stopping about a meter away, and knelt down with a mix of nervousness and respect, saying, "This is the first time I've seen a real angel."
Angel Yan looked at the cautious woman in front of her and said, "I remember over 2000 years ago, your ancestors said that the faith in angels should dominate Earth."
"We've changed our approach with the arrival of the Super God Academy," Wu said.
"By investing money," Angel Yan said.
"Investment," Wu corrected.
"Investment, impressive. But you're in grave danger," Angel Yan said disdainfully.
"What's happening?" Wu asked urgently.
"Evil is already in turmoil, and darkness is coming," Angel Yan said, pausing for a moment. "You are merely an Earthling, not an angel. The Underworld Galaxy is about to invade you."
Saying this, Angel Yan opened her Insight Eye and quickly read the dark information about Earth's hidden dimensions.
"Oh, Earth has already entered the pre-nuclear era," Angel Yan said.
"Who are you?" Wu asked cautiously.
"Angel Yan."
A sudden, sharp voice sounded next to Angel Yan.
"The Left Wing Guard of the Sacred Kaisha, 7,000 years old, has participated in three wars between angels and demons, with one defeat." The speaker was Zhang Zheng, who had come to inquire.
Angel Yan was startled by the sudden voice. As a 7,000-year-old angel warrior, she did not think that being unaware of someone standing behind her was due to her own carelessness.
Realizing this, Angel Yan immediately drew the Flame Sword and pointed it at Zhang Zheng while activating her Insight Eye to check Zhang Zheng's dark dimension information.
Seeing Zhang Zheng's information, Angel Yan thought to herself, "D*mn, are Earth's security guards this powerful? To be able to silently stand behind an angel warrior without being noticed, and calmly read my dark dimension information."
"Is this some kind of joke?" Yan thought to herself.
Wu, however, did not think too much of it. Seeing Zhang Zheng wearing her company's security uniform, she was afraid that Zhang Zheng might offend the angel. She quickly said, "Who told you to come in? Get out immediately."
Zhang Zheng, of course, did not leave. Instead, he slowly removed his security uniform and said to Angel Yan, "Beautiful angel, could you please put down the Flame Sword? I am no longer a security guard, and the Angel Building is no longer under my jurisdiction. We have no conflict and don't need to be so hostile."
Hearing this, Angel Yan slowly sheathed the Flame Sword.
She playfully said, "How come this kid knows so much about me?"
"Could you tell me your identity? Not everyone can read an angel's dark dimension information," Angel Yan said playfully.
"I have my own methods," Zhang Zheng replied.
He then asked, "Can I know the purpose of the angels' descent to Earth?"
"There is no specific purpose. The Underworld Galaxy's Tianyu civilization is about to invade Earth, and the angels need to ensure that Earth remains under the banner of justice," Angel Yan explained slowly.
At this moment, Angel Yan returned to her high and mighty role as the Left Wing Guard.
"Can you explain what justice is?" Zhang Zheng asked with confusion.
Angel Yan looked at the puzzled Zhang Zheng and said, "The concept of justice was established 17,000 years ago by the ruling angels of the Sacred Kaisha City to ensure the orderly operation of the known universe. We call it the 'Order of Justice.'
"On the other hand, a certain fallen being known as Ultimate Fear is defined as… evil…"
"So, the definition of justice ultimately rests in the hands of the angels."
"Then, beautiful angel, according to the angels' definition, is Earth currently considered just or evil?" Zhang Zheng could not help but ask.
Angel Yan did not expect Zhang Zheng to ask such a sharp question but still answered, "According to angelic observations, most of Earth's government departments are filled with justice."
"That's great. Thank you very much for the angel's answer."
"And I advise you to leave Earth as soon as possible," Angel Yan added.
"Morgana has already advanced to the fourth-generation divine body and will soon descend to Earth."
"Based on my judgment, you are not her opponent and will be beaten badly."
"At the same time, I don't want to see a war between angels and demons on Earth."
"Earth cannot withstand the war between you two."
After saying this, Zhang Zheng left the meeting room without waiting for Angel Yan's response.
Angel Yan watched Zhang Zheng leave the meeting room, seemingly wanting to ask something.
But in the end, she didn't say anything. She glanced back at Wu and, without speaking, flew out of the Angel Building.
She quickly flew towards the clouds to join the angel Mo Yi, who was waiting, and they discussed the information obtained from Zhang Zheng.
As for Zhang Zheng, he went back to the security office and told Captain Liu, "Do you know what I just saw?"
"What?" Captain Liu asked without looking up.
"An angel, a beautiful angel, was just in the conference room upstairs," Zhang Zheng said excitedly.
Despite Zhang Zheng's laid-back demeanor, his earlier show of bravado in front of Angel Yan was all just an act. If he couldn't win over an angelic girl in the Super God Academy world, it would be a shame.
Having acted like a big shot in front of Angel Yan (which, in terms of power, was indeed accurate), Zhang Zheng was now eager to brag to the few friends he could talk to before leaving the company.
"An angel? Are you still dreaming?"
"Why don't you sleep a bit more? Don't worry, I'll pretend I didn't see anything and won't report you."
Captain Liu didn't believe him at all, thinking Zhang Zheng was just talking nonsense again.
"No, I'm resigning," Zhang Zheng said.
The arrival of the angel meant that the plot was about to begin, and work was no longer important.
Previously, working was to avoid being too troubled before the plot started. After all, he had the Sentinel's energy and didn't need to eat, but he still needed clothes. He had not yet learned to control molecules to create clothes.
In the Marvel original story, Sentinels could only passively resurrect in the early stages until they fought and were killed three times by Molecule Man Owen before mastering the ability to control molecules.
Hearing that Zhang Zheng was resigning, Captain Liu thought he had found a better job. As a graduate of a prestigious university, Liu was quite happy for him and invited him out for dinner to celebrate.
However, Zhang Zheng declined. Looking at Captain Liu, who was a good friend, he said, "Brother Liu, listen to me and resign and move to North Star."
Originally, Zhang Zheng wanted to share his excitement about seeing the angel with Captain Liu.
Now, he had lost the mood.
There was no way to avoid the instability in a poor man's heart.
