Super God: Angel King, takes down Angel Yan at the start.

Chapter 59 The Significance of the Crown

Su Yi didn't wait for her reply and continued speaking to himself. His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

"A crown makes the wearer stand out; it is a symbol of status."

"But the true meaning of the crown is..."

He paused, his gaze becoming incredibly serious, his golden pupils seeming to burn with flames.

"When disaster strikes, I will shield them from everything, and always let them see only golden hope!"

These words, like a pebble thrown into calm water, created ripples in Morgana's heart.

To protect his people from everything?

Should we only show them hope?

How familiar those words are, how naive yet heavy those ideas are!

Once upon a time, when she was still Liang Bing, the Queen of Apocalypse, did she also harbor similar ideals?

But later, reality shattered everything.

Thinking of this, a complex emotion flashed in Morgana's eyes.

But she quickly suppressed that feeling and replaced it with even sharper sarcasm.

"That sounds nice!"

She raised her hand and pointed to Hannibal, who was still standing in front of Su Yi, ready for battle.

"And now?"

"You only dare to hide behind him, relying on the sword of your loyal guard, to talk to me?"

"Isn't such a king far too cheap and ridiculous?"

Her words were like sharp knives, pointing directly at Su Yi's seemingly powerless situation.

Upon hearing this, Hannibal gripped his sword tighter, his eyes blazing with fury, yet he was unable to refute it.

Because what Morgana said is true to some extent.

The king's safety indeed rests entirely on his shoulders.

After all, in order to successfully escape Morgana's clutches, someone had to stay behind to buy time.

And he is undoubtedly the best choice!

However, Su Yi's smile did not diminish in the slightest when faced with this almost humiliating question.

He gently patted Hannibal's tense shoulder, signaling him to calm down.

Then, under Hannibal's surprised and worried gaze, Su Yi took two steps forward.

Instead of hiding behind Hannibal, she stood beside him, even leaning slightly forward by half a body length.

Golden wings spread out fully behind him, shimmering with a warm and resolute glow in the sunlight, a stark contrast to Morgana's dark, cold metallic wings.

"You're right, it seems the initiative is in your hands now."

Su Yi's voice remained calm, as if he were stating a fact that had nothing to do with him.

"Faced with a demon king like you who has roamed the universe for tens of thousands of years, I can only rely on the protection of my companions now."

He paused, but his voice remained unwavering.

"But there's nothing shameful about it."

"Just like a sapling, before it grows into a towering tree, it needs the shade of a large tree and the nourishment of the soil. This is the process of growth, not a disgrace."

"A king's responsibility is not achieved through brute force alone. It is about recognizing the limits of one's own power while still shouldering that responsibility."

"When you are weak, you know how to trust and rely on reliable companions. And when your companions need you, you will stand up without hesitation and become their shield."

His gaze deepened, as if piercing through Morgana before him and glimpsing a more distant future.

"Right now, Hannibal is protecting me. But one day, when disaster truly strikes, I will be the one standing at the forefront, shielding everyone behind me from everything!"

These words were spoken with neither arrogance nor servility.

It acknowledges reality while also expressing its intentions.

Upon hearing this, Hannibal's fingers tightened slightly on the hilt of his sword, a deeper sense of respect welling up within him.

Morgana's mocking smile faded somewhat.

This kid is interesting.

Instead of being angered by her words, he took the opportunity to explain his own ideas.

With this mindset alone, he may truly achieve something in the future.

However, precisely because of this, she was even less likely to let the other party go.

After all, only the Demon King deserves to have such an outstanding talent!

However, before she could make a move, a series of crisp applause suddenly rang out in the quiet mountain forest.

"Slap slap slap!!!"

Morgana's pupils contracted sharply, and she turned her head abruptly in the direction from which the applause was coming.

Not far away, ripples spread out in the air like waves.

Immediately afterwards, a figure with long silver hair and a graceful figure stepped out from among them.

She was dressed in simple angelic attire, her icy blue eyes, like a deep, still pool, calmly gazing at the three people in the room, a faint smile playing on her exquisite face.

It is none other than the Heavenly King, He Xi!

"Well said, little one."

He Xi clapped her hands gently, her gaze falling on Su Yi with undisguised admiration.

"The meaning of the crown lies not in being high above, but in protecting and bearing responsibilities. To be able to say these words under these circumstances at least proves that your character is worthy of the title of the Lord."

Her voice was clear and melodious, like jade striking each other, yet it carried an invisible pressure that seemed to freeze the air in the space.

"He...He Xi?!"

Morgana's voice trembled slightly with shock.

How did she end up here?

I just carefully checked the surroundings and confirmed that there was no energy fluctuation from the other party!

When did this old witch arrive?

How long have they been lying in wait?

Most importantly, why did she show up at this particular time?

Could this be a setup specifically targeting her?

Thinking of this, a chill instantly ran from the soles of Morgana's feet straight to the top of her head.

The thought of recruiting Su Yi and coveting the Dark Silver Weapon had long since vanished from her mind.

Facing He Xi, she had only one thought in her mind.

run!

immediately!

immediately!

He ran away without looking back!

She didn't want to go head-to-head with an opponent of He Xi's caliber in a place like this!

Especially since Devil One hadn't arrived yet, and he didn't even have a decent helper by his side!

"Liang Bing, it's been so long, why are you still so impulsive?"

He Xi's tone was as relaxed as if she were greeting an old friend, but even a fool could hear the sarcasm in it.

"You think you can just leave without even saying hello after seeing me?"

"Ahem!"

Morgana coughed twice, then quickly forced an extremely stiff smile onto her face.

"Um... He Xi, long time no see! Look how nice the weather is today, sunny and bright, perfect for a walk!"

""

As she spoke, she subtly began to move backward, her black wings folding slightly behind her.

"I won't bother you any longer. I suddenly remembered that I might have left the gas stove on, so I'll have to go now!"

Before she finished speaking, Morgana suddenly took a step back.

Space was like a torn curtain, and a tiny, purplish-black wormhole instantly opened up behind her!

She didn't even dare to turn her head, and practically crawled into the wormhole using both her hands and feet!
