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

Chapter 377 [The Descent of Myth] Series of Magical Puppets

While Koyanskaya was active on Earth, Danlei was also busy in the asteroid belt.

With the imaginary subspace factory in place, Dan Lei only needs to extract the basic materials from the asteroids and put them in.

The asteroid belt in the solar system doesn't contain any particularly difficult-to-melt materials, so Dan Lei solved the problem with a single material separation magic array.

As for the hidden problem, we can simply use hundreds of asteroids to set up a large array to conceal light, quantum, and electrical signals, as long as it's not an angel of He Xi's level who personally goes to check nearby.

It would be impossible for an ordinary angel to detect it with their dark energy scan.

Since he didn't need to worry about the factory, Danlei had been spending this time tinkering with the magic puppets.

Of the puppet army I created on Avalon, I still have 50,000 under my command.

These 50,000 puppets could all serve as a generation of super soldiers in this universe; their only drawback is that they lack any special features.

These magical puppets lack the incredible micro-wormhole sniping ability of Qi Lin, the Shenhe sniper, and the powerful punch that He Weilan could use to severely injure a second-generation super soldier.

However, in terms of weaponry, aside from lacking any advantage against divine bodies, these puppets are equipped with a combination of the Immortal Boat Alliance's standard array swords and the heavy infantry of the Interstellar Peace Corporation. In a real fight, they could easily take on second-generation super soldiers one-on-one.

If you take into account all the heavy firepower, this puppet army would not be afraid to face the armies of demons and angels head-on.

The problem is that Danlei's side is still lacking in mid-level combat power.

Leaving aside the angels, even the demons who were badly beaten, right now, have a divine body, Xueyi, and under her command, Ato, Atai, and some demon leaders who were active in the battle against Keisha, all of whom are third-generation super soldiers.

The third generation of super soldiers is a watershed moment. When everyone has enough energy and their weapons (including the built-in engines that come with their genes) are not too far apart, those below the second generation will basically be easily defeated in a one-on-one fight against the third generation.

Therefore, even just to bolster his reputation, Dan Lei felt he needed at least a plurality of third-generation super soldiers as subordinates.

If Xiao Huanlong, Dreig, and Albion are considered high-end combatants.

Xiao Huanlong is probably only a supercomputer away from being a god of the fourth generation. If he encounters someone like Su Mali, a disgrace of the fourth generation, he can definitely crush her.

Draig and Albion are also absolutely god-tier.

If Skarabaz is released, you'll see the fifth-generation insectoid god with infinite energy.

However, it would be a waste to use these spirits in ordinary times.

In just over ten days, the Imaginary Subspace Factory had already built a small fleet of warships, and Dan Lei had also used various rare materials to create two humanoid puppets with physical bodies.

With the aim of making it visually appealing to women and taking into account the acceptance of Earthlings, Danlei named this series "Myth Descends".

Two individuals were initially created: Artemis (FGO 2.51) and Athena (the Godslayer, adult form).

After completing them, Danlei used his memories to bestow upon them settings and memories through the Memory Fate (Artemis's love for Orion was completely erased), and finally gave them souls with the [Fire Emperor] Source Fire.

Since the Memory Path has the power to set rules, Danlei can plant a setting in their minds that they will never betray him under any circumstances.

Moreover, Draeg and Albion hid inside Artemis and Athena's bodies respectively, ensuring that absolutely no accidents would occur.

And so, two artificial goddesses, created entirely by Danlei's power, were born.

Moreover, Danlei has preserved the possibility of upgrading within their bodies. If he later obtains god-level super genes, he can use them as experimental subjects.

However, this also nearly depleted Dan Lei's rare materials. It can only be said that creating powerful puppets is just burning money.

There's a reason why these mediocre puppets aren't popular in the Star Iron Universe.

Those who can create them are usually powerful forces, and they certainly have Star-level Destiny Walkers. Instead of spending a lot of money to create puppets, it's better to cultivate more Destiny Walkers.

Or create super robots like creation engines to serve as weapons of war.

Civilizations that need such humanoid puppet combat power are all small forces; they might not be able to create such puppets even if they exhausted all their resources.

Moreover, without the setting of the power of order, this puppet, which can be called a living being, also has the potential to rebel.

In short, two weeks after receiving news that Koyanskaya had captured Soton, Danle returned with Artemis and Athena.

Danlei has already collected all the materials needed to build the warship fleet in the asteroid belt, and the newly made phage plugs are now full.

Imaginary subspace factories can operate anywhere; there is absolutely no need for them to stay in the asteroid belt.

The dozen or so warships that were built first were prototypes. Dan Lei planned to show them off on Earth and then take them to the skies for exhibition.

As for how they will make an appearance on Earth, according to the original storyline, when Soton was captured, the Super Soldier Corps had already assembled and begun training.

After about half a month to a month of training, and after everyone had a basic grasp of their abilities, Morgana descended. After Morgana's arrival, due to the sudden disappearance of Huang Village, Super God Academy invited Sun Wukong to return.

So, within two weeks, Dan Lei estimated that Morgana should have arrived. At this time, Demon One had not yet reached Earth, so using her as a stepping stone was the perfect solution.

I returned to Earth more than two weeks after Danlei left.

As promised, Koyanskaya's Interstellar Peace Corporation has grown rapidly and become a well-known civilian military company on the planet, renowned for its excellent service and high efficiency.

At this moment, both the Super God Academy and the Angels are closely monitoring the Interstellar Peace Company.

However, the two sides' attempts to contact Koyanskaya were repeatedly delayed.

The main problem is that Koyanskaya is always elusive, and unless she shows herself, neither Dukao nor Angel Yan can pinpoint her location.

Furthermore, neither side is quite sure what Koyanskaya is planning to do with this military company composed entirely of ordinary people.

Making money? This person, who is at least a third-generation super soldier or even a god-level being, would not need to work like a super laborer, struggling to make money by negotiating business deals with people everywhere.

To build her power, she captured the crocodile god Soton and subdued it by whipping it to work for her; the rest were all ordinary people.

This is a huge force on Earth, but what kind of force is it in the universe?
Therefore, when the Super God Academy and the angels saw that Goyanskaya was only engaging in minor skirmishes, they were in no hurry to meet her and said they would observe her further and find out her purpose before discussing it further.

So, after returning to Earth, Dan Lei went directly to a manor on a large island in the Pacific Ocean that belonged to the Australian government.

Koyanskaya and her henchman Soton had been waiting there for quite some time.

As soon as Danlei appeared with Artemis and Athena, Koyanskaya, seeing two imposing women beside him, pounced on him and wrapped herself around his neck, saying coquettishly...
"Master, you're finally back! I've missed you so much!"

Dan Lei felt the softness on his body and realized that this fox-bodied rabbit spirit was not to be touched. He gently broke free and praised, "You did a great job on Earth. In less than twenty days, the reputation of the Interstellar Peace Company has been completely established."

Danlei's praise pleased Gao Yangskaya, who, with a sickly expression, said while holding up her voluptuous body.
"That's for sure. The people here are very interesting, and many of them have super genes, making it much more fun than my original world."

"During this time, I've been traveling to battlefields in various places, watching them waver between hope and despair—it's been incredibly fascinating."

Koyanskaya's words sounded sinister, but Danlei learned that what she meant by seeing people wavering between hope and despair was that she had taken on a job delivering humanitarian aid to war-torn regions.

The forces under the Interstellar Peace Corporation were very powerful. After easily repelling both sides' forces in the war-torn region, they delivered the supplies.

People who have suffered greatly from war naturally have hope on their faces.

But Koyanskaya never takes long-term jobs; she stays in one or two days and then immediately moves on to another place.

Those who had just been rescued had only one good day before being immediately returned to the war-torn environment.

At this time, they had humanitarian aid and medical supplies, making them natural targets for warlord attacks, so their fates were not good.

This is what is meant by wavering between hope and despair.

All I can say is that Koyanskaya understands the rules of humanity too well. She perfectly utilized the rules to achieve her goals. Not only can no one find fault with her, but she also has an excellent international reputation.

Many of the armed men actually believed they had joined a company dedicated to maintaining world peace.

Of course, such a force was no longer suitable for North America, so Koyanskaya set up her base on an island group near Australia.

The island where Dan Lei is currently located is only one of those islands under the jurisdiction of the Interstellar Peace Corporation. At this time, this area is equivalent to Koyanskaya's private territory.

Since Koyanskaya's behavior conforms to human moral standards, Dan Lei naturally wouldn't say anything more about her.

She took out a brand-new women's self-defense pistol from the Star Iron Universe, purchased from the Interstellar Peace Corporation, and handed it to Koyanskaya, saying...
"This is your reward: a pistol powered by imaginary energy, capable of firing both energy bullets and physical bullets, powerful enough to injure your body."

Koyanskaya, who loved all kinds of weapons, happily accepted the gift, then looked at the two women behind Danlei and asked with a grin.

"Master, aren't you going to introduce your two younger sisters behind you? Are they your newly summoned helpers?"

Danlei wasn't going to hide Artemis and Athena's situation from Koyanskaya and spoke directly.

"No, it is the life I have newly created."

They are Artemis and Athena; don't bully them too much.

Upon hearing this, Koyanskaya's expression visibly relaxed, and she asked with a smile.
"Artemis and Athena, who are they in mythology?"

Dan Lei nodded, gesturing for the two to step forward, and said...

"Yes, I supplemented their consciousness and memories based on the legends of those two. Although the energy used is imaginary energy, I say they are Artemis and Athena, and they are."

"By the way, from now on, don't call me Master when we're out; just call me Boss."

After saying that, Danlei looked at Soton, who was sitting on the living room floor devouring roasted meat, and deliberately asked...
"So, you are the third-generation beast form Soton created by the Styx?"

Soton looked at Danlei's defiant face, but when he glanced at Koyanskaya beside Danlei, he trembled and said...
"I am Thornton, but I see you have skinny arms and legs, I don't agree to be the boss."

My boss only recognizes the CEO.

Seeing this, Danlei stopped Koyanskaya from teaching Soton a lesson, because he knew that the guy would only behave if he was personally beaten into submission.

Dan Lei took a step and moved almost instantaneously behind Soton, grabbed him by the back of the neck and threw him out the window, where he landed on the lawn outside.

Then Dan Lei slowly walked out, looked at Soton who had taken out the giant crescent-shaped hand blade, and beckoned to him, saying...
"Come on, there's no point in arguing with a fool like you. If you're not convinced, I'll just beat you into submission."

Upon seeing this, Soton's ferocity increased dramatically, his eyes turned blood red, and his body swelled to three meters.

The transformation looked like he was about to charge into melee combat, but in reality he shouted "Go!" and threw his left crescent blade like a boomerang at Dan Lei.

Thornton's weapon could slice Morgana's divine body in two.

However, in order to give it a sufficient shock, Dan Lei drew some power of wisdom and destiny from the Immortal Trapping Sword and combined it with his own balanced destiny, with preservation as the main focus and wisdom as the secondary focus, to create the Echoing Interweaving: Dislocation and Shifting.

He channeled the power of dislocation and climbing into his right index finger.

The crescent blade that Soton threw was unable to penetrate the energy of the protective and intelligent defenses. Dan Lei easily deflected it, sending it flying and leaving Soton dumbfounded.

He never expected Dan Lei to be so strong, but since he had already used his ultimate move, he didn't back down. He roared and used the Crocodile's Death Roll technique to use Crocodile-style Tooth Swipe to burrow towards Dan Lei.

Dan Lei remained unmoved in the face of Soton's attack, deflecting it with a single finger.

Dan Lei is now using the power of the Balance Envoy, making his fight against Soton feel like a complete free-for-all; none of his attacks can break through the Dislocation and Climbing defense.

In the ensuing battle, Soton was hit by Dan Lei using his fingers as if they were ping-pong balls.

Then he got really angry and dove straight into the sea next to him, saying he wanted to have a water fight with Danlei.

He probably thinks he has an advantage as a crocodile in a water battle against Danlei, a human.

Faced with this reckless behavior, Dan Lei didn't hold back and went into the water with him.

However, once inside the sea, Danlei revealed his true form.

When the Imperial Sun Pearl appeared, Soton was almost scared to death. He thought the opponent was a human fighting a water battle, but it turned out to be the Dragon King. What should he do?
However, he didn't have a chance to think about how to beg for mercy. Dan Lei directly controlled the water to create a huge whirlpool, spinning him until he was dizzy and then throwing him onto the shore.

Once Danlei reached the shore, Suo Dun's eyes turned into mosquito coils, and he kept muttering...
"Dragon King, spare my life! Dragon King, spare my life!"

Seeing this, Danlei knew he should submit, and said to Koyanskaya...
“The damage to the manor will be deducted from this guy’s wages, and if he has no wages, it will be deducted from his food allowance.”

Koyanskaya naturally had no objections and said with a smile.
"No problem, but this guy actually dared to lay a hand on the boss, so I'll definitely have to teach him a lesson."

"Boss, want a crocodile belt? This guy's skin's tough and thick; a belt's worth of material won't kill him."

Soton, who had just regained some consciousness, was so shocked by Koyanskaya's words that he almost fainted.

He was truly convinced now. A fox spirit with at least several thousand years of cultivation and a dragon king—this combination had skinned him alive, and he dared not resist.

Thorton was now filled with regret. If he had known his boss was the Dragon King, he wouldn't have bothered rebelling at all; the Dragon King was the king of all aquatic creatures. (Thorton had Chinese mythology in his mind, including the Bagua diagram Snow used to unseal him.)
