Angel City
In the palace, Queen Kesha had not gone to bed.
After the battle with Zhang Zheng today, Kesha had realized the gap between herself and Zhang Zheng.
"Maybe he's right; angels really do need to make some changes." Kesha recalled Zhang Zheng's words and began to entertain some new thoughts.
The angels couldn't remain stagnant. If what Zhang Zheng said was true, then where did all those vanished civilizations go? Kesha's mind was in turmoil. Although she had already decided to abdicate, could Anishid truly take on the responsibilities of the Angel King?
While Kesha was lost in thought, Yao's voice came through the communication device.
"Queen Kesha, I have some news about Morgana. After you've seen it, you might have a good dream!" Yao's playful voice came through the communicator.
"Hmm, Yao, you should be with Zhang Zheng right now, right? You still remember me, your teacher. Not bad, better than Shixin." Hearing Yao's voice, Kesha's mood immediately improved.
The last time Yao spoke so playfully with her must have been many years ago, either five thousand or six thousand years.
Since the failure in the war against the demons, Yao had not spoken so casually with her.
"Your Majesty…" Yao's face turned red with embarrassment upon hearing Kesha's teasing.
"Alright, what data do you have that can make me happy? Send it to me!" Kesha wasn't too deep into teasing and only touched upon it lightly.
However, Kesha was quite curious about why Yao contacted her at this time.
"Alright, Your Majesty. Please get ready to receive it." Yao said and started transmitting the data to Kesha.
Kesha looked at the data Yao sent. At first, she was puzzled, but after the mecha self-destructed, everything became clear.
Morgana had really gotten herself into a dire situation.
After seeing the data, Kesha's mood indeed improved significantly, and the pressure from Zhang Zheng was momentarily set aside.
After all, at this stage, Morgana was her biggest enemy, especially since this sister had stabbed her in the back. Plus, Kesha needed to avenge Allen.
"Kesha, did you see the data Yao sent you?" He Xi's voice suddenly rang in Kesha's ear.
"Yes, I saw it. Quite interesting, isn't it?" Kesha replied.
Her tone was filled with happiness. At this moment, it was just her and He Xi, and it was the most relaxed Kesha felt.
"Yes! I didn't expect Zhang Zheng to be so sneaky. He forbids other civilizations from using nuclear-level attacks on Earth, but he himself creates a bunch of mechas with self-destruct systems, using nuclear reactors as power sources. No wonder Morgana fell for it."
He Xi found Zhang Zheng's actions amusing. Although weapons of nuclear-level power couldn't be used, Zhang Zheng played with reactor self-destruction. No other god would dare to do such a thing, only Zhang Zheng, who didn't care about such matters.
Once the Galactic Force and the Star God of Nox grew stronger, Zhang Zheng would simply pass the blame and leave. At that point, even if someone sought trouble, there would be the Galactic Force as the legitimate Earth deity to handle it.
"He Xi, you've known him for a long time. Zhang Zheng has done many outrageous things. Which god would act like that? Even the little girl from the Sun Star wouldn't be as flamboyant as him."
Hearing He Xi talk about Zhang Zheng's outrageous behavior, Kesha immediately thought of Zhang Zheng's flamboyant cries. Every time she thought of it, her mood would brighten considerably after a long day.
"True, which god can live as freely as Zhang Zheng? Knowing his own civilization is being invaded, he still has the leisure to come to our Angel City to steal the Heaven Blade battleship. I really admire him."
He Xi sometimes envied Zhang Zheng. He was young and vibrant, with unparalleled power. He Xi believed that even if Zhang Zheng wasn't on Earth, other civilizations' gods wouldn't dare to act against Earth.
Even Morgana had become more restrained on Earth. If Zhang Zheng hadn't had some leverage over Morgana, He Xi would never believe it. She was certain that Zhang Zheng had some kind of hold over Morgana, otherwise, Morgana's personality would have led her to leave Earth and develop elsewhere. He Xi was convinced that Morgana's weakness was on Earth.
"This might be our misfortune. As angels, the darkness we've experienced has made us strong but also bound us." Kesha spoke with a touch of melancholy on her face.
Who doesn't want to live freely? It's just that their status no longer allows it.
"Yes, but that's all in the past, isn't it? Your Majesty, be cautious when you go to Earth this time, as Morgana has joined forces with Karl."
He Xi was concerned for Kesha. After all, the only angels she could talk to were her student Shixin and Queen Kesha. As for other angels, due to their status and seniority, there weren't many who could speak freely in her presence, including Yao.
"Hmm, don't worry, He Xi. Shixin has already informed me. I will be extra cautious."
Kesha said lightly. She had come to view life and death with indifference, so when talking about her own death, her tone remained calm, as if she weren't the one facing it.
"Then, Your Majesty, please rest. I won't disturb you further."
He Xi could tell from Kesha's voice that she would be cautious but would also accept whatever came. This was what He Xi read from Kesha's words.
"Alright, He Xi, I'm ending the call now." Kesha said the final words before ending the communication.
Heaven Blade VIII
"Yao, is the data sent to Queen Kesha?" Zhang Zheng asked as he looked at Yao, who had just finished her task.
"Yes, the data transfer is complete, but I forgot to report to Queen Kesha about going to Earth with you tomorrow," Yao realized after ending the call.
"Ha, don't worry about that. Yao, your secondary biological engine hasn't been activated yet, right? I want to help you activate it now; otherwise, I'm a bit worried about you going to Earth."
Zhang Zheng was concerned about Morgana on Earth.
Morgana thought Zhang Zheng was crazy, and Zhang Zheng was equally wary of Morgana. Especially after fighting Kesha, Zhang Zheng recognized the formidable nature of these older gods.
Although Zhang Zheng didn't care about fighting them, destroying Earth would be easy. He couldn't use the Time Stone to save Earth every day.
So, considering Morgana's lack of boundaries, Zhang Zheng decided to upgrade Yao's capabilities.
"Does this require Queen Kesha's approval?" Yao asked, knowing that Shixin had activated her secondary biological engine.
"No need. Queen Kesha said that we should make our own decisions regarding our matters."
Zhang Zheng recalled that Kesha had previously stated they could make decisions about their own affairs, so he wasn't worried about Kesha's approval.
"Alright, what do I need to do? You have to be gentle with me. It's my first time."
Yao, seeing that Shixin didn't say anything, believed Zhang Zheng's words. However, she still playfully added some suggestive comments.
"Just lie down, fairy."
