"Galactic Power, I hope you'll authorize me to use the Heavenly Blade Judgment to crush Morgana. As for the 8 million people in Moyue, I sincerely apologize—they are sacrifices for the peace of the universe."
Keisha no longer wished to reminisce with Morgana, as she had lost interest. The queen was capricious like that.
Ge Xiaolun looked at Keisha, then at Morgana, and finally turned his gaze to Du Kao.
Zhang Zheng had passed the burden onto him. Recently, Ge Xiaolun's emotional intelligence had been growing rapidly. Although he didn't care about the 8 million people in Moyue, he didn't want to bear the blame himself.
"Commander, I'll listen to you. You decide."
Ge Xiaolun looked at Du Kao with genuine eyes, as if he were the best soldier, leaving everything in his superior's hands, ready to follow orders without question.
"Damn it."
Du Kao felt like he was seeing Ge Xiaolun for the first time. When did this guy become so clever? The way he shifted the responsibility was so natural that no one could fault him.
No matter the decision, Du Kao would have to bear the consequences.
Du Kao scanned the members of the Xiongbing Company, who all looked ready to obey, and suddenly felt old. The young generation today had become quite devious.
Despite his thoughts, Du Kao stepped forward with determination.
"Holy Keisha, please do not start a war with the demons on Earth. Earthlings will not abandon their compatriots."
After speaking, Du Kao glanced at Ge Xiaolun and the others, and seeing no reaction from them, he was relieved. These kids were sly but hadn't turned bad.
"Du Kao, my conversation with you is over. Galactic Power, tell me, what is your decision?"
Keisha couldn't be bothered to look at Du Kao, thinking, "A warmonger like you pretending to be a pacifist?"
Under Keisha's gaze, Ge Xiaolun felt immense pressure.
Recalling what Zhang Zheng had told him, a glint of understanding flashed in Ge Xiaolun's eyes.
"Auntie, Brother Zheng said that whatever you want to do on Earth, I shouldn't authorize it."
Ge Xiaolun's survival instincts kicked in, and he decisively passed the buck to Zhang Zheng, making it clear that it wasn't his decision.
As soon as Ge Xiaolun finished speaking, a blue portal appeared behind him. Before anyone could see who it was, a foot clad in black casual shoes emerged and kicked Ge Xiaolun in the rear.
The sudden kick left Ge Xiaolun bewildered. What just happened?
Lying on the deck, Ge Xiaolun turned to see who had kicked him, and his eyes nearly popped out.
"B-Brother Zheng?"
Ge Xiaolun was so scared that he stuttered.
"Queen Keisha."
Behind Zhang Zheng, Zhixin and Yan walked through the portal, first greeting Keisha, then turning their gaze to Ge Xiaolun, smiling with amusement.
This was just too funny. They had originally come to pay respects to the queen, but Zhang Zheng had stopped them, saying to wait until Keisha was done. Who would have thought that Ge Xiaolun, lacking resolve, would sell out Zhang Zheng so quickly?
They had watched the drama unfold at home, marveling at how quickly Zhang Zheng had changed his demeanor.
"Ahem, Queen Keisha."
Zhang Zheng glared at Ge Xiaolun, a bit embarrassed as he greeted Holy Keisha.
Then, he turned his gaze to Morgana, twitching slightly at the sight.
"Morgana, can we see Liang Bing instead? I'm still not used to this look."
Zhang Zheng's words dealt a crushing blow to Morgana. In the projection, Morgana suddenly pulled out a small mirror, ignoring everyone else, and began examining her reflection.
Looking closely from all angles, Morgana couldn't see anything wrong with her appearance.
"Zhang Zheng, you scum! Just because you have bad taste doesn't mean you should act like some aesthetic expert—it's disgusting."
Morgana didn't see anything wrong with her makeup. Besides, her entire castle was filled with sycophants, making her proud.
"Come on, Morgana. Liang Bing is truly beautiful, but as for you, Morgana... no offense, but it's really not great."
Zhang Zheng was a bit nostalgic for Liang Bing, who was undoubtedly a rare beauty. But as for the demon in front of him, Zhang Zheng couldn't appreciate her makeup.
"Queen Keisha, did you teach Liang Bing how to do makeup? As her sister, don't you feel any shame? You let your sister become like this."
Zhang Zheng looked at Keisha, puzzled, while gesturing to emphasize his point.
"Um... sorry, I've been too busy in Angel City. I didn't teach her well, and I apologize for letting her scare people."
Keisha appeared genuinely remorseful, looking at Morgana with regret, as if saying, "It's my fault your sense of aesthetics got so messed up."
"It's fine, just make sure to teach her better. It's one thing if she scares us, but it wouldn't be good if she frightened children."
Zhang Zheng waved dismissively at Keisha, appearing magnanimous and forgiving.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Keisha replied sincerely.
"No problem. After all, managing such a vast angelic nebula must be exhausting."
Zhang Zheng nodded in understanding, willing to overlook Morgana's offenses.
Watching Zhang Zheng and Keisha ridicule her in unison, Morgana felt utterly defeated. Her chest heaved with anger as she hurled the mirror at Zhang Zheng and Keisha.
"You scum! I'll kill you both one day!"
Morgana yelled, shutting off the projection in a fit of rage.
Watching Morgana disappear, Zhang Zheng disdainfully gave the direction of Moyue the middle finger.
"Queen Keisha, let it go. Morgana is already a fourth-generation god-body. The Heavenly Blade Judgment won't work on her. There's no need to cause unnecessary casualties on Earth."
After flipping off Morgana, Zhang Zheng turned back to Keisha with a sincere tone.
Without waiting for Keisha's response, he opened another portal and reached up to grab Angel Chase from the clouds, pulling her back to the Juxia.
Angel Chase, seeing herself being dragged back by Zhang Zheng, blushed and kicked him in the leg, scolding, "You're getting more annoying, God."
Then, she flew back to Keisha's side, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Queen, I..."
"It's alright, Chase."
Keisha, seeing Zhang Zheng's antics, found it both amusing and slightly annoying. Wasn't this guy just interested in Angel Chase?
No one knew Keisha's inner thoughts, but seeing Chase's embarrassment made the other angels burst into laughter.
Hehe! The sound of their laughter rang out above the Juxia.
They had wanted to laugh earlier when Zhang Zheng and their queen teamed up to mock Morgana, but had held back out of respect for the queen. But seeing Chase's embarrassed state, they couldn't contain their laughter any longer.
Feeling even more flustered by her sisters' laughter, Angel Chase glared at Zhang Zheng again, deciding never to speak up for him in front of Queen Keisha again.
"Zhang Zheng, Chase is my holy left wing. If you keep bullying her, be careful—I might just beat you up."
Keisha, seeing how flustered Angel Chase was, decided to stand up for her new left wing.
"Queen Keisha, how could I? Chase and I get along just fine. You can ask Yan—when they were at my place, they were the ones bullying me."
Zhang Zheng, noticing Chase's embarrassment, realized he might have gone too far. After all, it wasn't appropriate to manhandle a lady.
"Alright, enough joking around. Just make sure you don't regret today's decision."
Keisha felt she had achieved her goal today, seeing both the future gods of the Milky Way and Nuoxing.
As for Morgana, since Zhang Zheng didn't really want to pursue it, Keisha decided to give him some face.
"Yan, Zhixin, and Zhang Zheng, Earth is in your hands now."
With that, Keisha and her angels left the Juxia.
"Xiaolun, I think we need to have a little chat."
Zhang Zheng turned to Ge Xiaolun, who was hiding behind Liu Chuang, after Keisha had left.
"Brother Zheng, I can explain."
"Sure, I'll listen to your explanation... at your grave."
"Commander Du Kao..."
Ge Xiaolun looked to Du Kao, pleading for help with his eyes.
"Don't kill him—he's still useful to us."
Du Kao glanced at Ge Xiaolun, then addressed Zhang Zheng.
"Fine."
"Then do as you please."
