Super God: Kissing an Angel at the Beginning, Building an Empire

E-12 star system.

The intense golden light faded.

The battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

The surviving angel warships, like startled birds, frantically darted about.

The engine emitted an unstable flame.

The silver hull was covered with charred scars and jagged cracks.

More than half of the sisters were forever reduced to dust in the starry purgatory.

Inside the virtual bridge of the Skyblade 7.

The relief of surviving the ordeal did not appear on the faces of any of the angel warriors.

Instead, there is a deeper chill and coldness.

Angel Yan's body trembled slightly.

That's not fear.

That was extreme anger and the humiliation of being completely seen through.

She gripped the hilt of the flaming sword tightly.

The knuckles turned white from excessive force.

The bones made a faint grinding sound.

Did she win?

No.

She was risking half the lives of the entire angelic fleet for a chance to escape.

The other party, however, seemed to have anticipated all of this from the very beginning.

The flagship "Ziwei Palace" features a virtual bridge.

Yuan Lan stood quietly in front of the enormous star map.

Her beautiful, aloof face remained expressionless.

It was as if the earth-shattering attack that had just shaken the entire battle was nothing more than an insignificant exchange of pieces on the chessboard.

"Loss assessment".

Her voice was cold and devoid of any emotion.

"Reporting to the Marshal, the Tian Shu Squadron has suffered 17% casualties."

A staff officer quickly reported the data.

"The energy cores of the three Kuafu-class destroyers overloaded and disintegrated."

"Seven Jingwei-class frigates have suffered severe structural damage and have been withdrawn from combat service."

"The consciousness data of the fallen soldiers has left the virtual universe and is being reshaped at its origin."

"The Zhou Tian Star Array's energy integrity has decreased by 0.314 percent."

The staff officer's voice was calm and composed, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

"As expected."

Yuan Lan nodded slightly.

Her gaze swept across the red dots on the star map that represented the remnants of the angel fleet.

His eyes were deep and unfathomable, like a black hole that devours everything.

"She is smart and decisive."

Yuan Lan's evaluation was neither praise nor indifference.

"The successor chosen by Keisha does indeed have some courage."

"She knew that in the face of absolute power, any defense was futile."

"Therefore, we chose to concentrate all our efforts on one point, seeking to break through the surface by focusing on that point."

"But she, or rather, they, still don't understand."

Yuan Lan's lips curled into an extremely cold smile.

"The Zhou Tian Stars have never been a simple weapon."

The core space of the virtual universe.

Liang Bing's consciousness watched the horrific scene on the light screen and couldn't help but whistle.

His tone carried a hint of schadenfreude:

"Tsk tsk, that bitch Keisha's successor is actually quite capable."

Ye Chen's gaze was calm as still water.

He seemed to be admiring a painting whose ending was already predetermined.

"She did this on purpose."

"What do you mean?"

Liang Bing was taken aback.

"The universe is in motion, but the stars are the source of power."

Ye Chen's voice was like the most profound cosmic law proclaiming the truth.

"The 365 stars represent 365 independent nodes of energy and rules."

"They are both weapons and pieces that make up the chessboard."

"Tian Shu is the first star of the Big Dipper."

"It is the most conspicuous and easiest node to lock onto in the entire array."

"I set it to be the most violent and unstable entity in the entire array."

"It's like a canister filled with high-pressure gas, with a 'hazardous, do not touch' label on the outside."

"Any competent commander, when faced with an insurmountable predicament, will instinctively choose to attack the weakness that seems most likely to trigger a chain reaction."

"And the divine judgment, in essence, is a resonance explosion at the level of rules."

"Its attack on such an inherently unstable energy node is exceptionally effective."

Liang Bing instantly understood the chilling meaning behind Ye Chen's words.

"This is a trap?!"

"From the very beginning, Yuan Lan deliberately created a weakness for them?"

Liang Bing's voice even changed tone.

It was full of unbelievable things.

"At the cost of losing an elite squadron, just for..."

"So that they could escape into the cage that had been prepared for them."

Ye Chen's tone was frighteningly calm.

On the battlefield.

Just when Angel Yan thought she had finally caught a breather and was preparing to regroup and organize the remaining troops for a protracted battle.

Yuan Lan's cold and ruthless voice, like a divine decree, once again resounded throughout the command channel of the entire Yanhuang Fleet.

"Project Zhou Tian, ​​Phase Two"

"Star Lock, activate!"

As soon as the order was given, another sudden change occurred!

Om-! ! !
The 364 surviving energy "stars" did not lose their brilliance; instead, their light became deeper and more restrained.

They no longer spew out devastating beams of energy.

Instead, countless intricate dark gold runes appeared on the surface of each "star".

These runes flowed wildly, echoing each other.

The next moment!
Three hundred and sixty-four beams of dark golden energy, refined to the extreme, shot out from the core of each "star".

Their target was not the surviving angel warships.

Instead... it's each other!
These energy beams, with trajectories that transcend the logic of three-dimensional space, precisely intertwine and link in the void.

A sheet covered the entire E-12 star system.

A net of pure energy and distorted spacetime took shape instantly!

"Warning! Supernormal spatial blockade detected!"

"Space curvature is being forcibly defined! Our warp drive has failed!"

"The sacred communication network is being interfered with by unknown rules, and the signal has been attenuated by 99%!"

"Warning! Our warships are being pulled by an invisible force and are unable to evade it effectively!"

Inside the bridge of the Skyblade 7, the piercing alarm sounded like a death knell.

It relentlessly bombarded the nerves of every angel warrior, pushing them to their limits.

Angel Yan looked up in horror.

She saw that beneath that enormous, all-encompassing energy net...

The "rules" of this star system are being forcibly rewritten!
The space became viscous, like a swamp.

The light was distorted into eerie arcs.

Their warships resembled insects caught in a spider's web.

Every struggle was firmly bound by that invisible force, leaving them unable to move!
This is not a war.

This is a hunt!

And they are the prey who are completely imprisoned and waiting to be slaughtered at will!

"how so……"

Yan's lips had lost all color as she murmured to herself.

Yuan Lan's figure appeared silently on the main screen of the bridge of the Tianren No. 7 ship through some kind of projection technology.

Her figure remained upright.

His eyes were still cold.

He calmly gazed at the young queen on the throne, whose face was pale and whose eyes were filled with humiliation and resentment.

It's like looking at a prisoner.

A prisoner who has lost all power to resist.

Yuan Lan's voice pierced through the screen and clearly reached the ears of every angel.

"This is the Heavenly Prison."

"You are all prisoners."

"prisoner?!"

These two words, like a red-hot branding iron, were fiercely burned onto Angel Yan's pride.

She suddenly stood up from the throne.

Fury burned in his golden pupils.

She stared intently at Yuan Lan's cold face on the screen.

Yan looked at the other person with a hoarse voice.

"Even if it comes down to the last man, an angel will never be humiliated as a prisoner!"

Yuan Lan's face remained expressionless.

She looked at Yan calmly.

It's like watching an immature child making pointless venting.

"This is neither a request nor a threat."

Yuan Lan's tone stated established facts.

"This is a notice."

After she finished speaking, she didn't say anything more.

The figure disappeared silently from the screen.

In her view, talking to a “prisoner” who has completely lost the ability to resist is a waste of time.

"what--!!!"

Yan let out a roar.

She gripped the flaming sword tightly.

The sword burst forth with a dazzling light.

A sword slashed fiercely at the empty screen.

boom!
A burst of violent, divine energy erupted.

The space remained completely still.

"Star Lock" completely defines this place.

Inside the bridge, the surviving Angel Warriors were filled with righteous indignation.

The fighting spirit is high.

"Queen!"

"We'll fight them to the death!"

"Even if it means death, they must pay the price!"

They would rather die for honor.

I will never accept the fate of becoming a prisoner.

However, after Yan vented his anger with that sword strike...

She slowly closed her eyes. Yan knew better than anyone else.

Faced with a weapon of war like the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen" that touches upon the level of "rule definition".

The so-called "desperate efforts" are nothing but a pathetic joke.

They are now.

Even the authority to detonate the core of his own divine body.

They have probably all been stripped of their rights from the rules by the other party.

The virtual universe, another battlefield.

On the flagship of the Demon Legion, atop the "Throne of Kunsa".

Sheeyi was also keeping a close eye on the battle situation in the E-12 star system.

When I saw the angel fleet completely imprisoned by that sky-covering "star lock".

When they saw Yuan Lan's pronouncement, which sounded like divine punishment.

Her face always wore a seductive smile.

For the first time, a hint of solemnity appeared.

"Boss, the Secretary General of the Yanhuang Empire is a madman."

A demon commander approached Sheeyi and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Isn't this going a bit too far?"

"Wipe out the angels' main fleet in one fell swoop?"

"Now look what's happened, that little wench Yan is probably going to be furious."

"This is not a game."

Xueyi shook her head.

Her eyes were deep.

"This is... establishing authority."

"The Yanhuang people are using the most direct and brutal methods."

"Declaring who will be the master of the new order of the future."

"Then what do we do?"

"Another demon asked."

"Just looking at it?"

"The Yanhuang people have dealt with the angels, so aren't we next?"

This question caused a brief silence to fall over the bridge of the "Khunsa Throne".

Everyone understands the principle of "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold".

"Afraid of a bird!"

A rough voice broke the silence.

It's the devil Ashin.

He was carrying a huge battle axe.

He said in a muffled voice, "At worst, we'll fight them!"

"I, the devil, have never been afraid of war!"

"Do it? Do it with what?"

Sheryl glanced at him.

His tone was unfriendly.

"Use your brain, which has nothing but muscles?"

"Didn't you see that damn thing called 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou' from the Yanhuang era?"

"Once that thing is turned on, will our meager possessions even be enough to fill their teeth?"

Ashin choked and his face turned red.

But they couldn't refute it.

indeed.

The overwhelming power displayed by the Yanhuang Empire.

It's beyond their comprehension.

"Your Majesty, you foresaw this day."

Xueyi sighed softly.

His gaze was fixed on the distant void.

It was as if they were having a conversation with some being.

"The Queen mentioned Ye Chen, that man."

"His ambition is more vast than the universe itself."

"What he wanted was never conquest."

"It is not a complete integration, but an absolute control."

"Then let's..."

Ashin was getting a little anxious.

"Wait."

A sly glint flashed in Xueyi's eyes.

She was like the most astute hunter.

In the E-12 star system, within the Heavenly Prison.

After experiencing initial anger and resentment, Angel Yan...

She forced herself to calm down.

Yan knows.

Any emotional reaction at this point is pointless.

She began frantically operating Keisha's knowledge treasury.

An attempt was made to analyze the composition of the "Star Lock".

Look for any potential weaknesses.

However, the data returned was...

But it was a despairing blank.

[WARNING: The target is a rule-defined weapon, beyond the scope of the knowledge repository's analysis capabilities.]

Conclusion: Unbreakable, uncounterable, and unescapable.

A cold, hard conclusion.

This pierced Yan's heart once again.

at this time.

A gentle and familiar voice.

It slowly echoed deep within her consciousness.

"Yan."

It's Queen Keisha!
Yan's body jolted violently.

Tears welled up in her eyes instantly.

"Your Majesty! I...I have disgraced you..."

Yan's voice was choked with sobs.

"No, you did great."

Keisha's voice was filled with relief.

"But...we are now..."

"I know."

Keisha interrupted her.

"I think I understand Ye Chen's purpose."

"He doesn't want to destroy us."

"He wants to...reshape us."

"Reshape?"

Yan is puzzled.

"Yes, reshaping."

Keisha's voice carried an indescribable complexity of emotions.

"He wants to use this war."

"It has shattered the order that we angels have upheld for tens of thousands of years."

"Then, on the ruins."

"To establish a completely new order that belongs to him."

Yan fell silent.

She couldn't accept this fact.

Yet they were powerless to refute it.

"Yan."

Kesha's voice sounded again.

With unprecedented solemnity.

"Next, do as I say."

"Give up all resistance."

“Accept his ‘gift’.”

"what?!"

Yan suddenly raised his head.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Your Majesty! You want us to surrender?!"

"This is not surrender."

Keisha's voice became incredibly firm.

"This is for the future of the Angelic Civilization."

"A necessary step."

"Trust me, and trust him too."

"The future is far more brutal than you can imagine."

"We need to become stronger."

After she finished speaking, Keisha's voice fell silent.

Only Yan was left behind.

He stood blankly on the bridge.

Queen Keisha's last words kept echoing in my mind.

She doesn't understand.

She really doesn't understand.

Why did the Queen make her make this choice?

But that was Queen Keisha's order.

It was what she followed throughout her life.

A faith that lasts until death.

After a long time.

Yan slowly raised her head.

In her golden eyes.

All the resentment, anger, and humiliation.

They all gradually faded away.

Instead, there was a resolute determination.

She communicated through the few remaining, weak communications.

To all the trapped angels.

One, and the most difficult, order was issued.

"All angels, heed my command."

"Disarm all forces."

"Give up all resistance."

"us……"

Her voice was incredibly heavy at that moment.

"...I accept Yanhuang's arrangement." (End of Chapter)
