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

Chapter 404 Dan Lei: "The universe does not belong to extreme justice, nor to extreme freedom."

Dan Lei retrieved Demon One and renamed it Immortal One, a month later.

With nothing to lose and a calm mindset, Danlei, along with Zhixin, leisurely piloted Vimana back to Earth.

At this time, the Earth has been completely invaded by the Taotie, and wars are raging all over the world.

To be precise, except for a few places under the protection of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, there is war everywhere.

Needless to say, the ecological ships in geosynchronous orbit are always avoided by the Taotie. They are very clear that although Dan Lei is not here, the Interstellar Peace Company still has at least two gods who can crush them as easily as playing with them.

On Earth, in Europe, the Parthenon on the Acropolis, rebuilt overnight, and the city of Athens have become the last pristine places on this continent.

When Athena returned to Athens, the Athens municipal government did not hesitate for a moment and handed over all municipal power.

In other words, Athena had no interest in controlling Greece, otherwise all of Greece would be her territory now.

Now, Athena devotees and Naga worshippers from Europe have been brought to live in Athens.

Athena is quite domineering. Anyone who cannot genuinely believe in her or Danlei is expelled from the city without giving them any chance to negotiate. If they dare to cause trouble, she dares to punish them with divine retribution.

After several visits, the locals quickly understood what it meant for divine power to be untouchable, and could only obediently follow orders or sincerely believe.

In North America, Artemis renamed New York City to the City of the Moon and gathered believers from all over the world. The North American government, which had been torn apart by the Taotie, had no objection to this.

In Asia, a 50-kilometer radius around Huangcun was designated as a safe zone by Koyanskaya.

Due to cultural differences, she didn't build any new city in this area; she simply called it the Dragon King's Protected Area.

These places then formed famous scenes of hell.

With Dan Lei's puppets protecting them, even in the heavily attacked Huaxia region, Taotie couldn't cause any trouble.

Faced with the standard weapons of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, the Taotie's spaceship, apart from the Grand Cross, had armor that was as thin as paper.

Even the Grand Cross, with its puppets wielding powerful weapons like the Blazing Crossbow, specifically designed for breaching defenses and armor, is not worried at all.

Because Koyanskaya ordered that no non-believers be accepted, and she also manipulated a large number of wild beasts to block outsiders at the boundary of the protective zone.

With the help of employees and puppets from the Interstellar Peace Corporation, no one was given any chance to smuggle themselves in.

Therefore, a scene of revelry and desolation is a famous example of hell.

This action actually caused dissatisfaction among some believers, but when Koyanskaya deliberately revealed Daji's "real name," the Chinese people immediately stopped making trouble and even felt that she had already shown mercy.

In Europe and America, people have become accustomed to passively accepting power.

The Taotie couldn't do anything about the Interstellar Peace Company, and the demons simply didn't have time to bother with it.

After Immortal One was placed in the artifact storage box and then into the Devouring Sac, the terminal on the Demon Wings that originally belonged to Demon One went completely dark, indicating that the Demon had completely lost this supercomputer.

Morgana is going crazy; losing Demon One means she has been squeezed out of the ranks of the gods.

Without a supercomputer, the fourth-generation divine body is just a bit tougher and harder to kill. As long as the enemy has supercomputer support, they can easily defeat it.

That's how Sumali became known as the "Shame of the Fourth Generation".

Without supercomputer support, even a fourth-generation divine body could easily be utterly defeated by a super soldier with such support.

So for the past month, Morgana has been frantically searching for the criminals who stole Devil One.

Karl was the first to be affected.

From Morgana's perspective, there are only a few people in the universe who have a chance to steal Demon One: Karl, Keisha, He Xi, and Dan Lei.

However, if the angels could have taken Devil Number One, they would have done so long ago.

Morgana knew very well that Keisha and He Xi might show mercy to her, their former sister, in battle, but they would certainly not hesitate to strip her of her supercomputer and weaken her power.

Of the remaining two, Dan Lei has just arrived in this universe and is unfamiliar with the place. While the possibility that he stole Demon One is not impossible, it is extremely small.

Because Danlei left Earth alone, he didn't take any of his subordinates with him, but left behind the army that was confronting Keisha.

Even if Dan Lei still had an army, how could he possibly take away Demon One?
Morgana knew that Danlei possessed a great deal of technology that transcended the known universe, but if any of it contained technology that could directly seize a supercomputer, then stealing the sacred treasure trove of knowledge whose master had already fallen would be far more appealing than Demon One.

Even if Danlei is seduced by the angels, there's still the universe's number one supercomputer, the Great Clock, protecting him.

Moreover, Morgana knew that Lena was subsequently controlled by Danlei, which is why there was still the option of the Heavenly Tower.

Therefore, Morgana couldn't believe that Danlei had stolen her Demon One.

After eliminating three people by process of elimination, who else but the thief could be left?

Moreover, Morgana believed that Karl had both the motive and the opportunity to steal the Devil One.

With Keisha's fall, the universe's supreme god, excluding himself and the outsider Danlei, was reduced to two and a half.

I, He Xi, and Lena are half of them.

Karl clearly couldn't touch He Xi's space-based computing group.

The Heavenly Dao Tower under the blazing sun, however, is not so easily disturbed.

On the other hand, Devil One cooperated with Carl multiple times in the effort to eliminate Keisha, and the Big Clock and Devil One had communicated with each other.

It's not impossible that Carl took the opportunity to plant something in the data transmission.

The computing power of the Great Clock far exceeds that of the Demon One, and Morgana admitted that she didn't know everything about Carl's research.

Moreover, Morgana has always been skeptical about how much humanity Karl, who has transformed himself into something neither human nor ghost, still retains.

Even if he once loved her, his current attitude is another matter.

Therefore, after the Devil One terminal completely lost the Devil One signal, Morgana quickly calmed down from her rage.

Then, Carl's clandestine communications were destroyed.

Actually, Carl was also confused about the Devil One incident.

He truly couldn't believe that Dan Lei could move the Demon One's main body directly.

It's important to know that the location of supercomputers is the biggest secret of all the major powers in the universe, the kind that they won't reveal even after someone dies. Even Karl himself didn't know where the Demon One was hidden.

Carl determined that Devil One was stolen by Dan Lei using the process of elimination.

In conclusion, apart from Dan Lei, who possesses extraterrestrial technology, no one else could steal the Devil One.

However, Morgana dismissed Karl's words as utter nonsense, not believing a single word of them.

She cursed and swore in the dark communication that if Karl didn't return Demon One, she would fight Karl to the death, even if it meant squeezing every last drop of potential from the demon race.

Karl was truly innocent and had no way to defend himself. So, he could only abruptly hang up Morgana's call and hurry to check his large clock.

Because Danlei has a way to steal Devil One, he can also steal the Great Clock, so Karl has to be on guard.

But Morgana saw Karl's act of hanging up as a sign of guilt.

So she began a covert communications bombardment of Karl.

If Carl doesn't answer the phone, he'll call him almost every minute.

Morgana is helpless right now.

Without a supercomputer, I'm like a skinny tiger without teeth and claws, unable to even overpower someone with my weight.

So now, besides yelling a couple of times and moving their mouths, they can't do anything else.

Of course, during this month, Morgana was also having the demons urgently assemble a stellar computer as a contingency plan.

However, without void and anti-void technology, this hastily assembled computer is only slightly better than the main computer in the Demon Wings.

It cannot compare to the Angel's Skyblade-class fortress computer, and it is not even as powerful as the Qiankun Stellar Computer that Ge Xiaolun created in the original work by combining void abilities with the Angel's divine coding and the blazing sun energy conduction technology.

In short, when Danlei returned to Earth, the demons were still cowering, even more cowardly than when the angels had arrived.

Without the supercomputer, Morgana dares not take any risks now.

However, Danlei had barely returned and hadn't even settled in when Morgana flew aggressively to Vimana's side and roared...

"Danlei! You and Keisha have finished your honeymoon with your little angel! And you're back?! You better get out here!!"

Morgana's actions resembled catching her husband cheating.

But her real purpose was to join forces with Danlei to deal with Karl.

However, the next second, Dan Lei flew out with Zhi Xin, saying unhappily...
"Morgana, what are you doing? I just got back, I haven't even had a chance to sit down properly, and I haven't even had a chance to catch up on the current state of Earth. I don't have time to trade with you right now."

However, Morgana, seeing Zhixin behind Danlei, immediately teased him.

"No time to trade? Are you sure it's because you just got back and are too busy? Or is it because you've been drained dry by the little angel behind you?"
Keisha wasn't very sincere; she gave you an angel, but instead gave it to some unknown junior.

"Little angel, who are you?"

In response to Morgana's question, Zhixin immediately raised her Flaming Sword and pointed it at Morgana, saying...
"Holy Right Wing of Keisha, Blazing Heart!"

Upon hearing Zhixin's words, Morgana immediately clutched her stomach and burst into laughter, saying between laughs...
"Hahahaha, hahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Keisha is really getting older and older. The right wing of the angels actually chose a little girl who is not even a thousand years old."

By the way, you didn't just temporarily become a right-winger so you could give Danlei a concubine, did you?

Just like those women in ancient Earth who rose to the rank of princess and then married into political alliances.

Zhi Xin didn't refute Morgana's words; she went straight to the point, striking at the heart of the matter.
“Morgana, you’ve already lost the Demon One supercomputer, so what gives you the audacity to laugh at me now?”

Upon hearing Zhi Xin's words, Morgana's expression immediately turned serious, and she asked with a murderous look in her eyes.
"Little guy, how do you know Devil One is gone? What else do you know?"

Without hesitation, Dan Lei took out the rare item storage box and asked...

"Morgana, do you recognize this?"

Morgana looked at the glass ball in the artifact storage box, feeling a slight sense of familiarity, but didn't think of it as the Devil One. Instead, she said sternly...
"Dan Lei! Don't change the subject! How do you know about Devil One!"

"Could it be that you guys were really responsible for the disappearance of Devil One?!"

Morgana was already somewhat irrational at this point, because Demon One really did go missing because of Dan Lei, and with her current strength, she had no right to throw a tantrum in front of Dan Lei.

However, Morgana, who had lost her very foundation, didn't care about any of that. She had already summoned her two demonic claws and was ready to fight.

Seeing this, Dan Lei carefully put away the treasure box and summoned the Immortal Execution Sword.
"If you don't recognize this, that's fine. I wasn't planning on giving it to you anyway."

By the way, you don't need to look for your Demon One anymore. What I just showed you was the compressed version of Demon One itself, except now it's called Immortal One.

After saying that, Dan Lei didn't wait for Morgana's reply at all, and more than a dozen spatial rifts instantly appeared around him.

These cracks were all the result of the Zhuxian Sword cutting through them.

To prevent a repeat of Karl using spatial displacement to rescue Morgana, Dan Lei directly destroyed the spatial structure around her with the Immortal Execution Sword.

In this way, its space displacement cannot be activated.

As for Morgana herself, having lost the supercomputer, she was not qualified to fight Danlei, who used his command power right from the start.

The Demon Claw was easily sliced ​​through the Spirit-level Immortal Execution Sword like tofu.

Even with her own gene engine, she couldn't detect the flight trajectory of the Immortal Execution Sword.

By the time Morgana realized what was happening, her two demonic claws had turned into metal blocks, and her body was in pieces.

However, the fourth-generation divine body has its own atomic aggregation ability. As long as there is still energy, even if the particles are not far apart, they can quickly aggregate.

So Morgana, who had been shattered into pieces, flashed purple light and reassembled herself on the spot.

However, the surrounding space had been torn apart, so she could not use the wormhole to teleport and could only regroup on the spot.

Having regained her original form, Morgana was jolted awake by Dan Lei's attack. Knowing she was no match for him, she promptly began to play the victim, deliberately feigning fear and saying...
"Dan Lei, we've known each other for a while now, and I've never done anything to wrong you. I won't hold it against you for taking my Devil Number One. Please spare my life."

Morgana's move might be somewhat effective against Keisha and He Xi, because in the original story, Keisha genuinely showed mercy to Morgana several times; otherwise, Morgana would have died at least twice before being taken to Emerald Star by Karl.

However, this tactic was ineffective against Dan Lei, a straight man who showed no mercy when he made a move.

Suddenly, the Immortal-Trapping Sword appeared behind Morgana, its built-in slowing force field combined with ice element instantly slowing Morgana's consciousness by half a beat.

In that moment of distraction, Dan Lei flashed in front of Morgana, joy and memories intertwined and echoed: the power of the ice coffin and the guinea pig pressed directly onto her head.

Morgana's last conscious thought was of Dan Lei speaking slowly.

"The gods of the old era are about to leave one by one. Keisha is the first, but certainly not the last."

If you still have a chance to wake up, I suggest you leave the stage of the stars. The future of the universe belongs neither to extreme justice nor to extreme freedom.

Maintaining a dynamic and changing intermediate state is what the order of the universe should look like.

So, you should rest.

After Dan Lei finished speaking, Morgana in front of him was completely frozen.

After finishing, Danlei said to Zhixin beside him...
"Zhi Xin, place Morgana's ice sculpture in a vacuum sphere devoid of any energy, then ask the demon if he would be willing to exchange his demon wings for an ice sculpture."
