The gathering from yesterday lasted very late into the night, and the members of the Xiongbing Battalion returned to the Supergod Academy. Zhang Zheng also contacted Dukao to request a star map.
"Can you tell me how to use this?" Zhang Zheng asked Lian Feng, looking at the high-tech star map in his hand.
Although it looked like a tablet computer, its principles were different. Zhang Zheng felt a bit out of touch for the first time.
Lian Feng patiently taught Zhang Zheng how to use it but was curious, "How do you plan to reach these civilizations?"
"I have my own methods," Zhang Zheng replied dismissively.
Then, as if recalling something, he asked Lian Feng, "Sergeant Lian Feng, do you know about 'gods' in the universe?"
"I want to know which powerful beings might be able to fight alongside me."
Aside from the few mentioned in the plot, Zhang Zheng didn't know of any other powerful beings. One of the reasons for finding Dukao was to inquire about the 'gods' in the universe from this war fanatic.
After thinking for a moment, Lian Feng listed a few names.
However, Zhang Zheng was somewhat speechless. Lian Feng's knowledge was less extensive than his own. Zhang Zheng at least knew about "Hua Ye," an ancient angelic king, which Lian Feng didn't.
This was a misunderstanding of Lian Feng. The Supergod Academy was a civilization in the universe that hadn't existed for long. The most powerful civilization, the Shinka Civilization, had already been destroyed. Currently, the most advanced civilization was the Angelic Civilization, followed by the Solar Civilization and the Nether River Civilization. Other civilizations with 'gods' had disappeared.
Since Lian Feng didn't provide the desired information, Zhang Zheng decided to challenge familiar characters. His first destination was to go to the Solar Star to find trouble with Pan Zhen.
After all, Pan Zhen was the guardian of Emperor Reina. Thinking about how Emperor Reina had bullied him so badly, Zhang Zheng found an excuse for himself.
Seeing Zhang Zheng disappear in a flash of golden light from the giant canyon ship, Lian Feng mourned for Pan Zhen for three seconds. Having such a goddess must be quite troublesome for Pan Zhen.
Zhang Zheng had a minor flaw; sometimes he would speak his thoughts aloud, which Lian Feng overheard this time.
In space, Zhang Zheng took out the Infinity Gauntlet. Seeing the six-colored lights flashing on it, Zhang Zheng was obsessed. It was his lifeline in this unfamiliar world.
Following the coordinates on the star map, he opened a blue space gate and stepped through.
"Who are you? How dare you intrude into the Queen's palace?"
What greeted him was a beautiful large bed with a woman in sleepwear, staring at him with large, beautiful eyes. Her right hand was already on the sword hilt, ready to draw it at any moment.
"I can explain," Zhang Zheng said, realizing he might have caused trouble with this confident-looking beauty.
The Infinity Gauntlet was still not mastered by Zhang Zheng. On Earth, he could open portals due to the Mind Stone, which allowed him to accurately locate every spot on Earth. This was Zhang Zheng's first attempt at long-distance teleportation.
Without the Mind Stone to locate Solar Star, Zhang Zheng relied on the star map's coordinates, which led to a slight error.
"I'm not interested in explanations now. When I catch you, I will interrogate you myself," Aini Xide said, full of anger at the man who had invaded her private quarters. She was even more furious with the guards outside.
Dozens of elite warriors stood guard at the door, allowing a man to silently enter her palace. If she found out it was due to the guards slacking off, she would send them to the front lines for re-education.
With that thought, Aini Xide drew her sword and pointed it at Zhang Zheng, shouting, "Guards!"
With Aini Xide's command, a group of silver-armored soldiers rushed in from the doorway. Upon seeing the situation in the room, they immediately drew their weapons and surrounded Zhang Zheng.
The leading captain protected Aini Xide, drawing his long sword and aiming it at Zhang Zheng with a look of determination.
"Salayan, how did he get in? Is this how you guard the palace?" Aini Xide asked loudly, not appreciative of the protection.
Salayan, seeing Zhang Zheng was surrounded but not resisting, relaxed. He turned to the queen, sheathed his sword, knelt on one knee, and said, "Queen, I didn't see anyone enter through the door."
Hearing Salayan's answer, Aini Xide believed he wasn't lying and looked at Zhang Zheng, saying, "Now you can explain how you got in and what your purpose is. I will judge you based on your answers."
"Sorry, Your Majesty."
"I came here simply because I got lost. As for how I ended up in the palace, you can think of it as a teleportation error."
After finishing, Zhang Zheng said "sorry" again and, without waiting for Aini Xide's response, transformed into a golden light and quickly flew out the door.
Watching Zhang Zheng fly away, Aini Xide's eyes twitched slightly. He treated her, the queen, so lightly, coming and going as he pleased.
"Salayan, inform everyone that tonight's incident should not be made public," Aini Xide instructed. Despite her anger, she didn't want to offend someone who could easily enter the palace.
Zhang Zheng, who flew away, didn't really leave but returned to the rooftop.
"No wonder she's the future heir of the angels, her demeanor and poise are exceptional. What do you think, Sacred Right Wing, Angel Burning Heart Miss?" Zhang Zheng suddenly said.
The reason Zhang Zheng didn't leave was that he had noticed the angel Burning Heart, who was secretly protecting and observing Aini Xide.
"Who are you? Why are you here next to Aini Xide?" Burning Heart asked, drawing her Flame Sword.
"Please come with me. It's not very convenient to talk here. You wouldn't want the mortals below to discover you, would you?" Zhang Zheng said.
Seeing the valiant and spirited young angel, who might eventually become Zhao Xin's girlfriend, Zhang Zheng didn't want to make things awkward. At the same time, he felt a bit envious of Zhao Xin. Even though he seemed destined for a lonely life, he had such a beautiful angel guarding him.
"Follow me," Zhang Zheng said, not waiting for Burning Heart and flying into space.
Seeing Zhang Zheng suddenly take off, Burning Heart spread her wings and pursued.
Looking back at Burning Heart catching up, Zhang Zheng was worried about the future of the angels. She was too naïve and easily deceived. If he had any malice towards Aini Xide, a simple trick could have been disastrous for her.
No wonder Karl was able to kill her so easily before. Meanwhile, Angel Yan never left the palace even when facing the enemy Morgana.
"Even with the Sacred Twin Wings, experience... such a difference," Zhang Zheng mused.
"I'm from the Chitu Stellar System, an Earthling. I came out to challenge powerful beings in the universe to gain combat experience. I ended up here purely by accident, with no malicious intent."
Looking at the angel Burning Heart, Zhang Zheng explained.
"Earth Star? Your planet should have been surrounded by the Devourers. How did you get out? Earth Star shouldn't have such advanced wormhole technology," Burning Heart, a top student, immediately asked the key question.
"I have the ability to open portals myself, but I made a mistake this time and ended up here."
"Don't doubt me. I'm a student of the Supergod Academy on Earth and have seen your Left Wing Guardian, Angel Yan, there."
"If you have doubts, you can verify with her. By the way, I need to go to the Solar Star. Can you help open a wormhole? My own positioning is not very accurate."
Zhang Zheng looked sincerely at Burning Heart and asked.
"Well... I can help you. The Angel City has a great wormhole bridge to all known star systems, but I need to confirm your identity with Yan Jie first."
"Thank you so much, Miss Burning Heart," Zhang Zheng said.
Angels might be proud, but they were genuinely kind, especially the younger ones.
