They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 376 The Silly and Adorable Thorton Gets
Angel Yan was speechless when she heard Angel Zhui's words, wondering which faction this strange woman belonged to.

This tendency to recruit anyone with potential is somewhat reminiscent of Morgana's style, but Morgana wouldn't create a Star Peace Corporation as a gimmick for child's play.

She doesn't consider words like "evil" or "depraved" to be derogatory; she only uses them casually, saying that joining the devil allows one to freely fall into depravity.

Moreover, Angel Yan has dealt with demons for thousands of years, and she knows all about the demons' methods.

The energy used by the woman who claimed to be an Earth native was not dark energy at all, but some kind of life energy.

Furthermore, how could a native Earthling use the term "Earth native"? She acted so casually, clearly showing a great disdain for Earthlings.

This woman doesn't seem like a demon, nor does she seem like someone from the Styx forces, because the people there are mostly strangely shaped, and those who are so handsome they're practically inhuman. It wouldn't be easy to find a woman as beautiful as her.

Lieyang... doesn't seem like it either; her clothes and hairstyle are too avant-garde for Lieyang.

In short, Angel Yan racked her brains and compared information on a large number of cosmic forces in the database, but she still couldn't guess where this woman came from.

We can only speculate that she might be related to the unusual energy fluctuations on the moon yesterday, or she might actually be some local super soldier hiding on Earth.

So Angel Yan stopped guessing and pressed the angel for an answer.
"Forget it, let's not investigate her anymore. We'll find out which side she's on the other side when she shows up next time and have a chat with her."

This time, she was merely a scout helping Earth eliminate the Taotie; we can observe her further.

Angel Zhui had no objection to Yan's arrangement. Now that Earth has gathered many forces from the universe, it is indeed not advisable to rashly make contact with this strange guy who suddenly appeared.

Meanwhile, Qi Lin, who survived the battlefield, was also being questioned by her superiors.

Since the government leadership was fully aware of the existence of aliens, and this gluttonous scout, who was completely helpless against by their own army, was instantly killed by Koyanskaya with a single shot.

So after scanning the business card in Qilin's hand and finding nothing unusual, she returned it to her.

You're asking about the employment contract?

Of course, it disappeared along with Koyanskaya.

Since Qilin did not agree to sign the contract, Koyanskaya naturally wanted to take it back.

Questioning Qilin obviously wouldn't yield any results; at most, a medical examination might reveal that she possesses a very complete super gene.

The situation was reported all the way to Dukao, who frowned after reading it and asked Lianfeng, who was doing technical analysis beside him, "..."
"Lianfeng, which side do you think this suddenly appearing super soldier is on?"

Lianfeng wanted to roll her eyes at Dukao when she heard this question, but he was her superior, so she couldn't. She could only answer seriously.

"A beam rifle that can withstand the Taotie beast with its bare body, if it does not have a special energy shield, its physical strength is no less than that of a second-generation super soldier with primary defense."

The ability to disappear into thin air proves that it has mastered a certain degree of micro-wormhole capabilities.

However, it is not possible to determine her faction based on the above two points alone.

As for the Interstellar Peace Company, all the information I could find was about organizations that appeared in online novels and web dramas.

The only company with this name is one that was registered in North America today; after analysis, that company seems to be a shell company.

Interstellar Peace Company was just registered today. There is only company registration information online, nothing else.

Lianfeng obviously didn't check the surveillance footage from the Ministry of Commerce of the strongest country in North America, so she mistook this information for a duplicate name.

After all, in Lianfeng's eyes, if a force already possesses super soldiers, surely it has an official website and a base.

Dukao still trusted Lianfeng's judgment, so after thinking it over, he said...
"Understood. Report what you found to the military."

Our advice is not to specifically seek out this super soldier whose stance is unclear.

He helped us eliminate the Taotie, and suggested that we send someone to make contact with her next time she appears.

The policewoman was released first, and someone was assigned to follow her. Headquarters was notified immediately after Koyanskaya appeared.

Dukao and Angel Yan reached the same conclusion, except that Dukao added the judgment of monitoring Qilin instead of recruiting Qilin into the Super Soldier Squad.

All I can say is that this person is a bit too suspicious. Qi Lin has already made contact with super soldiers from an unknown force, and she's not on the list of Deno descendants, so we must carefully consider letting her join.

Of course, the most crucial point is that Qi Lin only possesses the genes of a first-generation super soldier.

Compared to Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuang, a Deno god-level gene carrier and a generation of super soldiers, seems less important.

However, Koyanskaya's recruitment of Kirin led Dukao to suspect that she was spying on Earth's super soldiers.

Therefore, at a subsequent high-level military meeting attended by Lena, Dukao proposed to assemble the Black Armor Brigade as soon as possible, and the proposal was approved.

During the meeting, just like in the storyline, Huang, the military leader, named the Black Armor Brigade the Super Soldier Company.

For the next two days, the world was in the calm before the storm.

Although Qi Lin was absent from the Super Soldier Corps' recruitment, the others gradually moved into the Super God Academy on Earth.

Back in North America, Koyanskaya also recruited some mercenaries to make a show of things, and the framework of the civilian military company was finally set up.

However, Angel Yan and Angel Zhui were even more confused when they saw that the Interstellar Peace Corporation recruited a bunch of ordinary people, but neither upgraded their super genes nor provided them with weapons that surpassed Earth's civilization. So they decided to observe more and did not rashly contact Koyanskaya.

As for the Taotie, they were also making preparations. After learning that Earth truly had super soldiers, the Taotie requested support from the Styx River.

Returning to the original plot, Carl, with the mindset of making use of waste, sent Snow to Earth to release the sealed Thornton.

However, Snow's whereabouts were exposed by Taotie as soon as he arrived on Earth.

Danlei is located in the asteroid belt. A small reconnaissance ship can pass through the Denuo III, but it cannot hide from Danlei.

There's no need for investigation; they must have gone to Earth to resurrect and capture Thorton.

So Danlei notified Gaoyanskaya early on to wait for her in Tianhe City.

Soton, that simpleton, has fighting ability; he can be subdued by food.

It's perfect to be a tool for Koyanskaya.

You ask why Soton, who was sealed in the Nile River basin, would run to Tianhe City?

The answer is that he was launched there after being resurrected.

Taotie confirmed that there were super soldiers active in Juxia City, so he decided to test the waters in Tianhe City.

In the original story, the Taotie Conference also made it clear that Tianhe City, which also had records of god-level civilizations, had relatively few super soldiers, which is why they decided to attack that place first.

In fact, Angel Yan and Angel Zhui must have discovered Taotie's actions as well, since Angel Zhui personally witnessed the sealing of Soton.

However, right now it's a war between the Taotie and Earth, and a war between the Styx River and the Deno descendants plus the Super God Academy. Since Earth and Deno don't ask for help, they can't directly intervene.

It can only be said that the super gene brought to Earth by the Deno descendants has, to some extent, harmed the planet.

If it were merely a normal pre-nuclear civilization, the Taotie attack would be considered an invasion of a lower civilization by a higher one. Earth, as a planet with intelligent civilization within the angelic civilization's jurisdiction and having spread angelic beliefs, could be directly intervened upon. However, the Deno civilization brought super genes to Earth. Even if Earth itself is only a pre-nuclear civilization, in the eyes of the major powers in the universe, they are considered a god-making civilization.

So the Taotie successfully exploited the bug, and the lower civilization took the initiative to attack the higher civilization, which the angels certainly wouldn't care about.

Moreover, young angels like Yan steadfastly uphold Keisha's order of justice and will not break the rules without authorization.

The only reason Angel Yan and Angel Zhui were active on Earth was to hunt down demons. Since the demons had not appeared, they did not have the authority to intervene in the war between Earth and Taotie.

In short, Koyanskaya only needs to go to Tianhe City and wait for the crocodiles to fall from the sky. With such a big commotion as Taotie capturing Soton, it's no wonder they've noticed.

At noon that day, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded in the sky above a pedestrian shopping street in Tianhe City. A giant crocodile-man, standing upright and about two meters tall, fell from an unknown height and crashed straight to the ground.

His mind was clearly not quite processing what had happened. He sat on the ground, looking at the people around him, and then said in a simple, honest way...
"It's...it's alive? They sent...they sent so much food?"

This Thornton's thinking is still stuck a thousand years in the past, treating humans as food.

However, he had just been resurrected, and his body was almost empty.

What happens when a super soldier runs out of energy? Consider how Lena's abilities were sealed and she was almost raped by thugs.

Thornton was in slightly better condition than Lena was then, but at this point his legs were so weak he couldn't stand up.

So even though he was very hungry, he didn't pounce on the passersby to feast, but instead sat down to rest.

However, despite lacking energy, the Thornton III super soldier's physical functions are still intact.

He could hear low-level communications directly, so he still heard the order for the Taotie reconnaissance ship in space to send down airborne troops to capture him.

However, Thornton's mind is now blank; he doesn't even know what communication is.

He even asked himself a question in the air.
"Who? Who called me? Which fairy goddess is speaking?"

However, he was met with a sniper bullet.

Soton is a third-generation super soldier with thick skin and tough flesh. The Taotie has a shortage of god-slaying weapons that target divine bodies, so they can only exchange them for their own most penetrating sniper bullets.

But the bullet that hit Soton bounced off directly, and only the impact caused the weakened Soton to stagger.

However, this was just an appetizer. Before Soton could get up, the three Taotie aircraft, each carrying two Taotie soldiers, ignored the large number of civilians below and directly used the aircraft's beam machine guns to spray bullets at Soton.

Although Thornton has high defense, he still feels pain from being hit like that.

Feeling utterly powerless, he couldn't even summon his own weapons and could only pick up a motorcycle from the roadside and throw it to fight back.

Needless to say, aside from knocking one Taotie off the aircraft, they accomplished nothing.

Moreover, the Taotie was not dead. It shook its head, stood up, and jumped back onto another aircraft.

Soton, thinking that a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, turned around and tried to run away. However, before he could even jump, he was grabbed by the grappling hook on the Taotie aircraft like a claw machine and trapped under the aircraft.

Originally, at this point, the Taotie team's mission to capture Soton would have been completed, and they would have retreated immediately.

But just as Thornton caught up, three bullets struck the pilot of the aircraft in the head simultaneously.

The Taotie's armored helmet offered no protection whatsoever, and it was instantly blown apart in the head.

The three aircraft instantly went out of control and crashed into the surrounding buildings.

The surviving Taotie immediately spoke in the communication.

"Sniper! Has anyone seen the sniper...?"

"Puch-"

"Another one died, I saw it..."

"Puch-"

The last Taotie looked at its dead teammate, and there was no need for it to say anything more.

With another "thud—", it was also killed by a headshot.

The one who attacked the Taotie was naturally Koyanskaya. She was standing on the top of a high-rise building five kilometers away, with three sniper rifles made of pink energy in front of her. She easily sniped all the Taotie with them.

After finishing, relying on the ability to manifest alone, Koyanskaya teleported directly to Soton, who had landed in the building with the aircraft.

She looked at Thornton with disdain and complained.
"You're the helper recommended by the Master? How come you're so weak and not very bright? Aside from being thick-skinned, you don't seem to have any other redeeming qualities."

"Does Master only want your crocodile skin?"

Upon hearing this, Thorton immediately objected and shouted...

"What did you say, you little dumpling! I'm just hungry. You want me to eat my fill? I'll chop you up and mince you into mincemeat!"

Upon hearing Soton's words, Koyanskaya's eyes instantly turned gold, revealing a beastly aura, and she said...
"Interesting. Anyway, Master only told me to try recruiting you as a tool, not that I had to recruit you."

Since that's your attitude, I'll skin you alive and have roasted crocodile for dinner tonight.

The moment the aura of the Koyanskaya Beast was revealed, Soton, in his beast form, immediately sensed it and exclaimed in surprise.
"Oh my god, it's a female demon! Oh no, I'm really going to be eaten today."

"Sister, dear sister, let's make a deal. If you don't eat me today, I'll go out and hunt for you right now, and I'll get you whatever you want to eat."

Seeing Soton back down, Koyanskaya knew he was definitely not convinced, but looking at the police cars that had already surrounded them, she still spoke.
"Is that so? Then I'll have to test your hunting skills properly. Come with me."

Koyanskaya's Beast IV is essentially [an existence persecuted by humans, an existence used during human persecution, and an existence used during persecution].

This is a rather convoluted statement, but in simple terms it means that it encompasses all [destructive tools created by humankind].

Therefore, she can conjure any gun or bomb.

Of course, this also includes cold weapons.

Suddenly, a soft whip covered with iron rhombuses appeared in Koyanskaya's hand, and with a flick, she bound Soton.

The soft whip was a manifestation of Koyanskaya's power. With the enhancement of her strength, it easily broke through Soton's crocodile skin and pierced into his flesh, causing him to howl in pain.

But Koyanskaya ignored Soton's screams, grabbed him and flew into the sky, disappearing into the horizon.

　Displayed separately:
　　As proof of espionage, it is the ability of a drifter.

　　Koyanskaya, who possesses the Beast attribute, can intervene in any otherworld or anomaly.

　　As a Beast larva, Koyanskaya could easily teleport to Lostbelts or the blank Earth using this skill, but due to her significant downgrade, it seems she can no longer teleport as easily as before.

　　Using this skill to traverse ordinary space would be overkill.
