Chapter 144: Too Difficult

Chapter 144: Too Hard

The next day, Yun Yang and Zhao Xin arrived at the grand assembly hall of the Meiro Celestial Court, where they received a lavish reception.

Looking at the angels standing guard on both sides with spears in hand, a solemn atmosphere hung in the air.

Zhao Xin glanced around a few times and secretly sent a telepathic message to Yun Yang.

"Yangzi, their figures are not bad at all. They must all be beauties."

Yun Yang also stole a few glances before replying.

"How do you know they are beauties? They're all wearing helmets."

"Nonsense, when have you ever seen an angel who wasn't pretty?"

By the time the two finished chatting, they had already arrived beneath the throne.

Looking up, they saw Angel Yan sitting gracefully upon the throne.

The two exchanged a glance and bowed slightly.

"Respected Queen of Angels, Yun Yang (Zhao Xin) from Earth has come to pay respects."

Angel Yan nodded slightly, and then a majestic voice echoed throughout the vast hall.

"Welcome, our allies, to the Meiro Celestial Court. Now, there are some historical dregs attempting to challenge the majesty of the Celestial Court. Are you aware of this?"

The two nodded slightly, and Yun Yang stepped forward, speaking in a loud voice.

"I am willing to represent myself in fulfilling my responsibilities as an ally."

Hearing Yun Yang's words, Zhao Xin also looked up and said, "I am also willing to represent myself in fulfilling the responsibilities of an ally."

"Very well. I am deeply gratified to have such allies. For the Order of Justice to be recognized by the known universe, it cannot do without the support of civilizations that hold justice in their hearts."

Angel Yan paused here, crossed her legs, and asked in an inquiring tone.

"I intend to recall the high-level angels stationed on Earth to the Meiro Celestial Court to wage a holy war against those historical dregs and completely eradicate them. What is your view on this, gentlemen?"

With those words, Yun Yang and Zhao Xin began whispering to each other.

"Yangzi, Angel Yan has changed so much."

"That's not important. Can we really represent Earth?"

"Probably not, but the angels staying on Earth shouldn't be considered Earthlings anyway."

"True, not really. Let's just go with it."

Yun Yang spoke up loudly once more.

"Respected Queen of Angels, Earth currently faces no threat of war, and we hold no command over the angel warriors stationed on Earth. Therefore, we have no right to interfere with your arrangements."

"Very well. Then I shall summon them back, though the的天刃七 (Sky Blade Seven) and several vanguard angels will remain on Earth to serve as the diplomatic mission of the Angel Civilization."

After receiving their stance, Angel Yan stated her deployment plans.

She then glanced at the angel warriors below and said calmly, "Alright, you may withdraw."

The angel warriors replied in unison, then formed neat ranks and slowly filed out of the grand hall.

As the doors slowly closed, Angel Yan shed her previous majesty and gestured for the two to come closer and speak.

Approaching her, the two sat down on a sofa that materialized out of thin air.

"The one about to arrive in the Angel Nebula is the ancient evil god Hua Ye. The number of ancient freaks under his command is simply too large, placing immense pressure on the Celestial City."

Having lost her majestic aura, Angel Yan wore a bitter expression of worry.

Yun Yang wasn't very familiar with Angel Yan and didn't know what to say, while Zhao Xin asked with a hint of confusion.

"With two fourth-generation gods like you, you still can't beat those ancient freaks?"

"That's right, and you have nine lines of defense." Yun Yang chimed in.

"It's different. Fourth-generation gods are only high-end combat power; winning a war still requires frontline warriors. Moreover, the enemy has Ruo Ning, the former left wing. The nine lines of defense won't be of much use."

Angel Yan shook her head and offered an explanation.

"Then let's just kill Ruo Ning, and that will solve everything," Yun Yang said matter-of-factly.

Zhao Xin nodded in deep agreement.

"Even if they are blocked outside the defenses of the Celestial City, what happens to the dignity of the city? What happens to the civilizations under the Order of Justice?"

Angel Yan smiled wryly and shook her head, questioning Yun Yang's perspective.

"That's true. If they attack the civilizations under your rule, the angels will have to rush out to put out fires everywhere, making it even easier for the front to collapse."

Thinking it over, Yun Yang realized the flaw in his suggestion.

"Why not just bring those civilizations under your rule into the Angel Nebula, or simply ignore them and take care of your own first?" Zhao Xin offered another opinion.

"There are simply too many civilizations under our rule. As for ignoring them, the Order of Justice does not permit us to do so."

She smiled with a hint of self-mockery before continuing.

"You two wouldn't understand these things anyway. Why am I even explaining this to you? To put it simply, the forces in my hands are too scarce, and I cannot command the older generation of angels. That's why I want to recall the high-level angels."

Hearing this, Yun Yang scoffed inwardly. With a legendary figure like Keisha back, expecting the older generation of angels to listen to you was a pipe dream.

They were probably all being kept by He Xi, waiting for the moment you couldn't hold on any longer so Keisha could make a grand return and turn the tide.

"Well, we understand that part. But you don't need to worry; I've witnessed the foundation of the angels. Those older generation angels are terrifying. Just do things your own way."

Yun Yang implied that the angels had nothing to fear from those ancient freaks.

Angel Yan nodded lightly, then smoothly changed the subject.

"How is Ge Xiaolun doing right now?"

"Xiaolun? He's doing engineering work on the outer fringes of the solar system. Shall I have Yangzi take you to see him? He misses you terribly."

Hearing Angel Yan mention Ge Xiaolun, Zhao Xin instantly perked up and began egging her on to go visit him.

"Yeah, yeah, Xiaolun thinks about you day and night. If he weren't so busy, he would have come to see you this time."

Yun Yang also began assisting in the matchmaking for Ge Xiaolun.

However, it was completely useless. Angel Yan clearly had no intention of visiting Ge Xiaolun. Instead, she stood up and said, "We'll stop here for today. I need to track Hua Ye's movements, and I will confirm your departure arrangements then. If nothing else, you are welcome to stay here for a while."

Watching her glide away gracefully with her cape fluttering gently behind her...

"Xiaolun has it way too hard."

"Yeah, a thousand years..."

The two burst into gloating laughter.

That afternoon, Zhi Xin and Zhao Xin returned to Earth and reported the stance of the Angel Civilization to the high command.

The next day, the angels began returning to the Celestial City one after another, while Zhao Xin headed to Mars as usual to check on the construction progress of the Martian base.

Today, the moment he stepped out of the portal, he saw someone he least wanted to encounter.

His pupils constricted sharply, his muscles tensing all over as he prepared for a life-or-death struggle at any moment.

The person was none other than Morgana. She was currently in a terrible mood because, in a moment of inattention, both Yun Yang and Rose had vanished.

This had nearly led her to believe that Carl had already made a move, and had even snatched two people at once.

However, after a careful inspection, she discovered that Zhao Xin and Zhi Xin had disappeared at the same time.

This gave her a rough guess. Therefore, after Zhao Xin returned, she began keeping an eye on him, which led to her waiting for him right at the wormhole gate.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. I mean no harm."

Seeing the tense Zhao Xin, Morgana quickly waved her hands to indicate her peaceful intentions.

Zhao Xin muttered inwardly, *You're the Demon Queen with a fourth-generation body who could obliterate me in a second. How can I not be nervous?*

Naturally, Zhao Xin kept these words to himself. Instead, maintaining a posture ready for a desperate fight, he asked, "What do you want? Don't pull any stunts."

"I just want to ask if you know where Rose is."

Seeing Zhao Xin's defensive posture, Morgana didn't want to waste time and went straight to the point.

"I know, but what if I don't tell you?"

Zhao Xin felt that in front of this Demon Queen, it was better not to mention the angels.

"Fine then, let's play it your way. Did she go to the City of Angels? Answer quickly, or else your Martian base will be history."

As Morgana spoke, she materialized a dark demon claw.

"Stop, don't do anything rash! Fine, she's in the City of Angels."

Seeing Morgana's action, Zhao Xin didn't dare to stall and blurted out the answer.

Morgana's suspicion was confirmed. She couldn't help but smile and turned to leave.

It seemed Carl had scared the two of them so much that they fled to the City of Angels for refuge—not a bad strategy after all.

Still, you could hide for a moment, but not for a lifetime. If you didn't want to be threatened, you had to become strong yourself.

How could she get Rose back? She couldn't let her stay in the City of Angels forever; otherwise, her strength would never improve, and the future of the demons would be ruined.

After Morgana left, Zhao Xin's expression turned extremely grim, accompanied by a trace of profound helplessness.

The demons were still in the solar system and could access Earth's military facilities at any time.

Earth was simply meat on a cutting board; something had to be done.

Since Morgana had asked about Rose, she was clearly here for her.

He would let Rose stay in the City of Angels, but on his end, he needed to tell Ge Xiaolun to speed up the progress of the Black Wall Belt.

He also needed to send Yun Yang to the Demon No. 1 to see if his abilities could be used to deter the demons.

Meanwhile, Yun Yang, far away in the Celestial City, had no idea that simply because he had casually revealed his abilities to Zhao Xin during a game, Zhao Xin had already scheduled him for a mission. It was a classic case of sitting at home while work fell from the sky.

Zhi Xin, stationed on the Sky Blade Seven, suddenly received a communication from Zhao Xin, which confused her since he had just left.

"Zhao Xin, what's wrong?"

"Babe, I just ran into Morgana."

"What? Run immediately! You are no match for her."

Hearing this, Zhi Xin's heart tightened, and she immediately ordered Zhao Xin to fall back.

"Relax, after exchanging a few words, she's already gone."

Sensing Zhi Xin's anxiety, Zhao Xin spoke softly.

"She left after just a few words?" Zhi Xin was skeptical.

"Here's what happened..."

Zhao Xin recounted the situation and shared his thoughts, asking Zhi Xin to find an angel returning to the Celestial City to pass a message to Yun Yang to come back and get to work.

After agreeing, Zhi Xin looked at Qing Xue, who was engrossed in a video game, and inspiration struck.

"Uh-huh, alright, I got it."

Upon receiving the message from Zhi Xin, Qing Xue gave a very perfunctory acknowledgment to show she understood.

Looking at Qing Xue gaming away, Zhi Xin felt she wasn't reliable enough, so she turned her gaze to Angel Leng.

The response she got was similar to Qing Xue's because Leng was currently teaming up with Qing Xue in the game.

Helpless, Zhi Xin finally turned her target to Ah Zhui.

This time she finally received a serious reply. Zhi Xin pouted, feeling that life was simply too hard.

With a sigh, a virtual screen materialized before her eyes, and she tapped on an icon.
