Morgana's journey aboard the "Giant Gorge" came to a complete halt once Sun Wukong appeared.
Morgana could sense Sun Wukong's power; if they were to fight, it would be impossible to determine a victor in the short term.
If Zhang Zheng were to arrive, Morgana felt she would be completely finished. Even if Zhang Zheng didn't come, the already ascended War God Nox would be able to severely injure her with a single strike. Therefore, not wanting to be besieged, Morgana immediately opened a wormhole and fled upon seeing Sun Wukong.
"Damn it, when did Earth get such a powerful monkey? It couldn't be something Carl created, could it? He does love researching beast bodies."
Thinking of Carl, Morgana quickly dismissed the idea. Carl's technology probably wasn't advanced enough yet; otherwise, with just five beast body warriors of that monkey's strength, Carl's Death Song Academy wouldn't need to fear the Angel City of Kaisha.
When Morgana saw Sun Wukong, she recalled a legend in the universe about the Solar Blaze Civilization being severely weakened on Earth by a monkey. If it were before, Morgana would have scoffed at such tales, but after seeing Sun Wukong, she began to believe them somewhat.
As long as Pan Zhen, the melee mage, was even slightly careless, Sun Wukong could definitely injure him severely right away. After that, any other gods from Solar Blaze would certainly be unable to defeat Sun Wukong.
Thinking of this, Morgana suddenly felt a headache; Earth was tough to handle!
"Giant Gorge."
"Xiao Lun, who exactly were you fighting just now?"
Seeing that the enemy had already left, Dukao hurriedly asked Ge Xiaolun.
As for why he didn't ask Liu Chuang and Zhao Xin, Dukao said that among the three, Ge Xiaolun was still relatively reliable. This was a case where without comparison, there was no harm; among the unreliable members of the Xiong Bing Lian, Ge Xiaolun was only ranked third.
"Report, Commander, at first, we didn't know who the other party was. It was only because their dark energy was too evil that we were on guard. Later, during the confrontation, the other party identified herself as the Demon Queen Morgana."
"Brother Zheng said Morgana is a great demon lord, so we started fighting."
Ge Xiaolun felt their luck was too bad; encountering a 99-level boss as their first monster was really unfortunate. So, his tone still carried some lingering fear.
Dukao's mood soured upon hearing Ge Xiaolun's report. He had regarded the Giant Gorge as the most formidable sea-based defense base on Earth, yet the Demon Queen had already toured his base without the defense system detecting her. If Ge Xiaolun and Liu Chuang hadn't discovered it, he might have been decapitated without knowing how. It was quite disheartening.
As if thinking of something, Dukao rushed back to the command center.
"Lian Feng, check the system and see if there are any signs of intrusion."
Back at the command center, Dukao said urgently to Lian Feng.
"Report, it has been checked. The core database has been accessed."
Lian Feng, who had followed Dukao for thousands of years, checked the core database of the Giant Gorge as soon as she discovered an intrusion. However, by then, Morgana had already reviewed the necessary data.
"We're at a disadvantage now."
Upon hearing Lian Feng's report, Dukao realized that their side's information had been leaked.
"Wukong, you went over earlier as well. How do you assess Morgana's strength? Can we handle it now?"
Dukao asked, since the information was already exposed, they could only confront the enemy directly. Therefore, Dukao needed to first understand if Sun Wukong, his strongest subordinate, could withstand the Demon Queen Morgana.
As for Zhang Zheng, Dukao didn't even dare to think about it.
Zhang Zheng had already blocked Morgana twice, yet Morgana still came to Earth. Dukao couldn't expect Zhang Zheng to follow Morgana around all the time. That wasn't realistic, and besides, there were other enemies besides Morgana.
What Dukao didn't know was that if Ge Xiaolun and the others hadn't taken action first, Morgana wouldn't have wanted to engage personally. After all, Morgana knew Zhang Zheng's strength better than anyone.
"Old Du, this time I arrived late. Morgana didn't actually fight me. She saw me and left right away."
"The demon's wormhole technology is too strong; I couldn't catch up with her."
"However, based on dark energy analysis alone, I can still fight her."
Sun Wukong said, also feeling fortunate that if his injuries hadn't healed, he wouldn't have been able to fight Morgana.
"That's good. With you here on the Giant Gorge, I can be a bit more at ease. Otherwise, with just those kids, I'd really have no confidence!"
Dukao finally sighed in relief upon hearing Sun Wukong's words. He was only a war commander, though his command abilities were among the best in the universe.
But even the best commander needs warriors. Ge Xiaolun and the others' current strength was still insufficient for a battle at the level of the main gods.
Fortunately, there was Sun Wukong, an old friend who was willing to follow his commands. Otherwise, Dukao wouldn't know how to fight future wars.
As for Zhang Zheng, Dukao couldn't command him.
Just as Dukao was relieved, a teleportation portal suddenly appeared in the command center.
This sudden scene made Dukao, who had just relaxed, tense up again.
How is it that anyone can just visit the Giant Gorge at will?
"Don't worry, Old Du, this is Zhang Zheng's teleportation portal. He's one of us, so there's no need to worry."
Sun Wukong recognized the teleportation portal and knew Zhang Zheng was coming. So, he quickly reassured Dukao.
Sure enough, as soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, Zhang Zheng walked out of the portal, holding Angel Zhixin.
"Did Morgana leave?"
As soon as Zhang Zheng appeared, he went straight to the point, asking without unnecessary pleasantries.
Just before, he had been spending time with Zhixin.
Suddenly sensing Morgana's dark energy near the Giant Gorge, Zhang Zheng initially didn't pay much attention. But as Morgana's dark energy response suddenly became more intense, indicating a battle, Zhang Zheng knew they might have fought. So he immediately came to check.
However, when Zhang Zheng wanted to see Morgana, Zhixin insisted on coming along, saying she wanted to meet Morgana, which caused Zhang Zheng to arrive late.
As for why he was late, it was because Zhang Zheng initially didn't want to bring Zhixin. He feared that Zhixin would start a fight with Morgana upon meeting her, which would be problematic for the Giant Gorge.
Going back in time? Zhang Zheng really didn't want Ge Xiaolun and the others to know about that, as it would make them dependent.
Given Zhixin's current strength, although she might not necessarily defeat Morgana, she was barely capable of putting up a fight.
If a real battle occurred, the Giant Gorge would be finished.
But heroes are not immune to the charms of beautiful women, and Zhang Zheng was no hero.
Zhixin, hearing that Zhang Zheng didn't want to bring her, began to act coquettishly.
Zhang Zheng, despite his firmness, couldn't resist Zhixin's coquettishness and agreed. The world's biggest priority was his wife.
"You're late, kid."
Sun Wukong said.
As for why Sun Wukong answered Zhang Zheng, it was because Zhang Zheng initially didn't look at Dukao; he was asking Sun Wukong.
"Oh, by the way, what exactly happened? I had an appointment with Morgana. How did she end up fighting you?"
Zhang Zheng asked Liu Chuang. Since Liu Chuang seemed to be the first one to act, Zhang Zheng could only ask him for the reason.
