Earth, Tianhe City, Huang Village.
After sending Morgana away, Zhang Zheng returned here.
After all, it's not so easy to kill a great demon like Ato.
Indeed, upon returning to Huang Village, Zhang Zheng saw that Ato was still struggling in the pit.
Ato, struggling, was momentarily stunned when he saw Zhang Zheng approaching him. At this moment, in his mind, Zhang Zheng should either be fighting his queen in the starry sky or have already been killed by her.
Ato had never considered the possibility that his queen hadn't returned and Zhang Zheng had come instead.
"Where is Queen Morgana?" Ato, struggling, asked Zhang Zheng anxiously.
"I sent her to the City of Angels," Zhang Zheng replied absentmindedly.
Zhang Zheng was currently pondering whether to capture Ato or kill him directly. If Morgana was dead, killing Ato wouldn't be a problem. However, if Morgana was still alive, killing Ato might lead to complications.
Zhang Zheng wasn't afraid of Morgana causing trouble for him, but he was concerned that if Morgana was still alive and learned that one of her top generals was killed, she might retaliate against Earth.
With this in mind, Zhang Zheng decided to capture Ato. This way, he could prevent Ato from seeking revenge if Morgana was dead and also protect against any potential vengeance from Morgana if she was still alive.
With this thought, Zhang Zheng looked at the struggling Ato and said, "I don't know Morgana's status right now. If she's dead, I'll send you to see her. If she's still alive, you'll still have a chance to see her." After saying this, Zhang Zheng ignored Ato's struggles and knocked him unconscious with a single punch.
Carrying the unconscious Ato, Zhang Zheng then had to decide where to imprison him. He thought of Dukao and decided to leave the matter to him.
Ignoring the daring villagers who were still watching, Zhang Zheng flew towards the Great Canyon with Ato in tow.
Great Canyon
Dukao, looking at the demon Ato carried by Zhang Zheng, felt a bit overwhelmed.
The demon hadn't even arrived yet, and now a demon had already come to Earth.
Moreover, hearing Zhang Zheng say that he had tricked Queen Morgana, Dukao was also uncertain.
Zhang Zheng, seeing Dukao's serious expression, gave him a sympathetic look and said, "Don't worry too much, Dukao. Even though Morgana's status is unknown, even if she is still alive, I can handle it. Earth won't become a battleground for the gods."
Zhang Zheng tried to reassure Dukao.
Although Zhang Zheng spoke with confidence, Dukao couldn't afford to be careless and quickly went to arrange the Earth's defense.
As for the demon Ato, Dukao said he couldn't keep him and subtly expressed a preference for Zhang Zheng to handle it himself.
Looking at the demon Ato in his hand, Zhang Zheng wasn't sure how to deal with him. Sirius was still in its early stages, and Zhang Zheng didn't want to expose it to the demons too early.
He decided to ask Zhixin if Morgana was dead. Zhang Zheng made this decision after considering it for a moment.
"Zhixin, are you there?" Zhang Zheng asked, placing his right hand to his ear.
After waiting a long time without hearing Zhixin's response, Zhang Zheng was about to end the communication when suddenly, Keisha's voice came through.
"Oh, little guy, impressive. You actually dragged my City of Angels into this for your Earth," Keisha said harshly over the communication.
"Queen Keisha, I don't understand what you're saying. I only heard that you were chasing Morgana across the universe, so I thought of sending her to you," Zhang Zheng replied, playing dumb.
At this moment, Zhang Zheng didn't dare provoke Keisha.
From her tone, Zhang Zheng inferred that Morgana wasn't dead; otherwise, Keisha wouldn't have spoken this way.
To protect Zhixin, who was still in the City of Angels, Zhang Zheng decided to endure. After all, he couldn't afford to offend Keisha.
"Alright, little guy, I was careless this time. Morgana was rescued by Carl. Be careful on Earth. From what I know about Liang Bing, she will definitely return to Earth. Don't fall into her trap," Keisha said, offering a final piece of advice.
Zhang Zheng, hearing Keisha's reminder, wasn't too concerned. As long as Du Qiangwei was around, Morgana wouldn't dare cause trouble on Earth. Otherwise, she might truly lose her time-space gene, which she cherished most.
Although Zhang Zheng wasn't worried, he still said to Keisha, "Thank you for the reminder, Queen Keisha. By the way, isn't this Zhixin's communication channel? How did it get redirected to you?"
Zhang Zheng was curious about this. After all, if his private conversations with Zhixin were being overheard by Keisha, he would have to reconsider his future interactions.
"The entire Angel communication network is set up by me. In your Earth terms, I am the data terminal. I can connect to whoever I want. Do you have any objections?" Keisha replied with irritation.
"No, none," Zhang Zheng quickly responded.
Since he couldn't reach Zhixin, Zhang Zheng didn't want to engage in any more meaningless chatter with Keisha and quickly ended the call.
With a thought, Zhang Zheng decided that since Morgana wasn't dead, he would return Ato to her.
After Zhang Zheng secretly observed the departing Ato, Dukao sighed in relief. He was truly worried that Zhang Zheng would leave the demon Ato behind.
It wasn't that Dukao didn't want to keep Ato, but Earth was simply not equipped to handle such a situation. The Xiong Bing Lian was still developing, and the Black Wall project had just started. Ordinary people had no way to deal with demons.
So Dukao had to wait until Liu Chuang and Ge Xiaolun had made some progress before dealing with the demon issue.
Because the original story had a protagonist added, Dukao wasn't as passive as in the original.
Zhang Zheng took Ato to Pluto and roughly woke him up.
Ignoring Ato's serious injuries, Zhang Zheng said, "Your Queen Morgana isn't dead. You should find a way to contact her yourself. If I find out you're causing trouble, I'll throw you into the sun."
After saying this, Zhang Zheng didn't care about the barely conscious Ato and flew back to Earth.
Earth, Super God Academy
Xiong Bing Lian was still waiting for their next mission.
At this moment, Emperor Reina's phone buzzed with a vibration. Reina quickly stood up to answer the call.
"Commander, Xiong Bing Lian is fully assembled. Please give instructions," Reina said loudly.
At this moment, Reina truly appeared to be the leader of Xiong Bing Lian, not the somewhat immature deity of the sun. Although still inexperienced, she had an impressive presence.
"Reina, stand down the alert. Zhang Zheng has solved the problem," Dukao's voice came from the phone.
"D*mn, Zhang Zheng is quite impressive, huh?" Reina cursed upon hearing Dukao say the problem was resolved. She hung up the phone without waiting for Dukao to respond.
The members of Xiong Bing Lian, watching Reina's sudden change in demeanor, couldn't help but admire her.
"The phrase 'a person has a thousand faces' must be referring to you, Reina," was the shared sentiment among the Xiong Bing Lian members at that moment.
