Swallowing the Stars: The cheat system only comes when I'm almost a god?

The Heavenly Court of Melo, the Queen's Palace.

A giant 3D projection floated in mid-air, clearly showing the fierce battle in the mountains near Huangcun. The footage was being broadcast live by angels in the sky above Earth.

Angel Queen Keisha leaned lazily on her throne, watching Morgana's discomfiture with great interest.

Tianji Wang Hexi stood beside her, a faint smile on his usually calm face.

The Holy Left Wing Yan stood below, his eyes fixed on the battle.

"Yes, Leng and the others cooperated quite well." Keisha nodded slightly. "Moreover, after using the Millennium Spirit Essence and other resources, the warriors' strength has increased more significantly than expected."

"After all, I designed a cultivation technique more suitable for angels based on the inheritance given by Lin Yuan, so it's only natural that they are strong in combat." He Xi's face was full of pride, and she was also in a very good mood as she watched Liang Bing, who had once stabbed her, suffer a setback at the hands of the little angels.

Keisha nodded: "Morgana didn't dare to hand over her divine body data to Karl, she only dared to use his resources to upgrade her fourth-generation divine body. But how good could her skills be after being chased all over the universe? She really thought she could do whatever she wanted after the upgrade. She should have learned her lesson by now."

At this moment, Zhi Xin, the right-wing guard who had been standing quietly to the side, stepped forward and respectfully reported: "Your Majesty, King Tianji, the main force of the Taotie Legion has arrived at the Great Insect Bridge Station near Pluto in the Chiwu Heng Star System, and its vanguard has launched the first round of probing attacks on various countries on Earth."

She pulled up another set of data: "Currently, all major powers on Earth have activated their super-soldier response plans."

The most prominent organization in North America is the Hate League.

On the Chinese side, the war maniac Dukao and others led the formation of a special force called the Super God Academy.

Its members include, but are not limited to: Liu Chuang, inheritor of the God of War gene of the Norstar; Lena, inheritor of the Light of the Sun gene; Ge Xiaolun, inheritor of the Galactic Force gene…”

After reporting, Zhixin quietly awaited instructions.

Keisha turned her gaze away from the battlefield and looked with a smile at her slightly clueless right-wing guard: "Zhixin, there's a guy named Zhao Xin in the Super Soldier Squad. What do you think of him?"

"Huh?" Zhi Xin was clearly taken aback, and pure confusion appeared on her delicate face.

She blinked her sapphire-like eyes, thought seriously for a moment, and then answered methodically, "Based on the available data, the target is Zhao Xin, whose super gene model is the Dexing Spear. Currently, his development level is low, his combat skills are crude, his tactical awareness is weak, and he is easily agitated. Overall evaluation..."

"Cough cough! Cough cough cough!" He Xi suddenly coughed violently, interrupting Zhi Xin's analysis report.

Keisha glanced at her old best friend, saw her coughing so violently, sighed helplessly, and waved her hand at Zhixin: "Alright, alright, you child... never mind, forget I asked. Go back to your work."

Zhi Xin was even more confused. She looked at the Queen, then at her teacher who was coughing incessantly, completely bewildered as to what had happened.

But she was used to obeying orders, so she bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

He then left the palace with a head full of questions.

After Zhi Xin's figure disappeared, Keisha patted He Xi's back in an annoyed tone: "Alright, alright, stop pretending. I know I was wrong, okay?"

He Xi immediately returned to normal, rolling her eyes at Keisha beside her: "Tomboy, is this how you act as a queen?"

Data matching is outdated; now we have the all-heavenly chat group as a direct route to the heavens, and the angelic civilization can break the 100,000-year curse in no time.

So you're still worrying about your crush's problems using that outdated algorithm? You must have a lot of free time!

Keisha chuckled at the retort and shook her head: "I'm just a little anxious because she's always in the lab, more like a research geek than you."

"I'm not even in a hurry for my apprentice, why are you in such a hurry?" He Xi snorted arrogantly.

Their laughter was interrupted by a sound coming from below.

"Your Majesty, King Tianji." Angel Yan stepped forward, her face showing obvious doubt. She pointed to the projection that was still playing the battle, "I have a question."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Keisha sat up straight, gesturing for her to continue.

Since deciding to groom Yan as her successor, she has been encouraging Yan to think from the king's perspective, and appropriate guidance is also necessary.

Yan organized her thoughts and asked, "We already knew through the chat group that Morgana would arrive in Huang Village, and we also knew that the Taotie were about to launch a large-scale invasion of Earth."

Why did we only send the Cold Squad to stop Morgana from spreading corruption and resurrecting Ator, but seem to have no plan to directly intervene in the Taotie Legion, which is about to cause mass slaughter on Earth?

This is a question that the Holy Left, who was purely a warrior and an executor of orders, would never have asked.

But now, with more responsibilities on her shoulders, she must consider the strategic intentions behind it.

Keisha and Hexi exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing approval.

He Xi coughed lightly and said softly, "Yan, that's a very good question."

First, regarding Taotie.

They are essentially pawns of Death Karl, currently waging an invasion of a pre-nuclear civilization by a space-class civilization.

Interstellar invasions of this scale are not uncommon in the known history of the universe.

Yan nodded; she had seen quite a few similar cases during her years of military service.

"But!" He Xi suddenly changed the subject, her gaze sharpening as she stared at the other person: "Earth is very special!"

Everything Yan thinks about.

Tianji Wang continued to explain: "In the memory copy you saw through the chat group, how many planets are very similar to it? And how many group members have intricate connections with Earth?"

Lin Yuan, Gu Yi, Ye Fan, Meng Qi… the backstories of many group members are also inextricably linked to Earth's culture.

Keisha replied, her voice calm and wise: "Although the culture and history of our world and this planet were formed under the influence of the Lieyang and Shenhe civilizations, other worlds do not have them."

However, the historical trajectory of Earth in these worlds has remained largely consistent with that of Earth, so we have reason to believe that there is some profound connection between them and the myriad worlds that we have not yet understood.

It may be a special turning point, where the rise of many powerful beings began. We have to admit that this blue planet is the protagonist of the universe.

Geng Nu Vajra Pestle presents "Swallowing the Stars: The Golden Finger Only Arrives When You're Almost a God?", exclusively released for the first time!

Therefore, angels must be extremely careful when getting involved in anything related to them, lest they inadvertently offend others in the chat group.

He Xi nodded: "While it is simple and efficient to directly use the Heavenly Blade Judgment to wipe out the Taotie fleet on a large scale, it is inherently inconsistent with the angels' ideals."

Secondly, doing so is tantamount to us, in the guise of gods, forcibly and brutally rewriting the crucial process by which Earth's civilization faces its own existential crisis and achieves transformation.

This might cause resentment or wariness among group members who have deep ties to Earth, and we need to leave a positive impression of not overstepping boundaries in potential future interactions with other beings.

"As for Morgana..." Keisha turned her gaze from the battlefield to Yan, her voice carrying a rare mix of emotions: "Judging evil is indeed the mission of angels, but that's only one of the reasons."

Keisha said slowly, "Morgana was once the Apocalypse Queen of the Heavenly Court of Merlo. Even though she has been fallen for thousands of years, her title has never been officially abolished in the angelic canons."

He Xi crossed her arms over her chest, and a screen of light unfolded before her: "If we knew Morgana would descend upon Huang Village, knew she would transform the village's mortals into demons, and yet we stood idly by..."

"Then," Keisha's voice suddenly turned cold, "how would those group members who have countless connections with China view the angels? They would think that the angels' justice is nothing but selective hypocrisy, only carried out when it benefits them."

Yan was shocked and finally understood the Queen's deeper meaning.

"So Leng has to go." He Xi pulled up a topographical map of the area near Huang Village. "But how to deal with Morgana requires a more ingenious plan."

Keisha gazed into the distance, as if she could see her sister, who had once fought alongside her, through layers of space: "She has gone too far... but there are some bottom lines that cannot be crossed."

……

Seventy kilometers north of Huangcun lies an unnamed mountainous area.

The battle had been going on for more than twenty minutes.

"Clang!"

Angel Leng's flaming sword once again pierced Morgana's back with pinpoint accuracy, unleashing a burst of holy flame that turned the surrounding rocks into lava.

Morgana, however, only staggered a step, patted the spot where she had been hit, and sighed dramatically, "Hey you little bitches, aren't you tired? How many times has this happened?"

She simply abandoned all defensive postures, stood in mid-air with her hands on her hips, and let the four angels launch attacks from different directions.

"Judgment by the Blazing Sun!"

"Holy Light Judgment!"

"The thorn of justice!"

Each attack landed on Morgana, bursting forth with dazzling light.

But after the light faded, apart from a few holes burned in her clothes, there wasn't even a white mark left on her skin.

The hardness of the fourth-generation divine body, combined with Morgana's own divine body technology, made her material defense reach a terrifying level.

While ordinary flaming swords could suppress her, they couldn't break through her defenses at all.

"Damn, I see now." Morgana yawned. "Is that all you've got? Keisha sent you guys just to tickle me?"

She even adjusted her posture and pointed to her shoulder: "Come on, chop here. The previous few blows weren't strong enough; they didn't massage properly."

Angel Lingxi turned pale with anger and was about to rush forward again, but Leng raised her hand to stop her.

"Sister Leng!" Lingxi said unwillingly.

He stared intently at Morgana, his hand gripping the sword trembling slightly from the force.

She could feel the terrifying hardness of the fourth-generation divine body; the second-generation angels couldn't pierce it at all. Although she was already a third-generation divine body, the flaming sword in her hand was still the standard version, and its attack power was limited.

Unless they have Dark Silver weapons or similar God-Slaying weapons, they simply cannot inflict any real damage on Morgana.

As for the Dark Silver Weapon... Leng thought of his pitiful contribution points and felt a sense of powerlessness welling up in his heart.

Queen Keisha did allow them to use Dark Silver weapons, but the upgrade of her third-generation divine body had almost exhausted her savings of thousands of years, so she simply couldn't afford to replace them.

Just then, a clandestine communication from the Celestial Court of Merlo came through:

"Cold, send her to the designated location and warn her not to touch China."

It was Queen Keisha's voice, calm and majestic.

Leng gritted her teeth and replied via the encrypted communication: "Queen, she..."

"Execute the order." Queen Keisha's voice left no room for argument. "You can't kill her now, and she can't hurt you either. There's no point in continuing this stalemate."

"...Yes, ma'am."

Leng took a deep breath and slowly sheathed the Fiery Sword.

Seeing this, the other angels, though puzzled, also stopped their attack.

The battlefield suddenly fell silent.

Morgana waited for a while but no next wave of attacks came. She opened her eyes in confusion: "That's it? Why aren't you continuing? Those last few hits felt pretty good. You guys almost cured my frozen shoulder."

"You—" Angel Lingxi was so angry that she was about to draw her sword again.

Leng raised his hand to stop her, staring at Morgana with an icy expression: "Get out."

Morgana froze, picking at her ear: "Huh? Get lost? Get lost where?"

"East," Leng pointed towards the Pacific Ocean, "that small island has a population of 100 million, enough for you to wreak havoc."

Morgana's eyes lit up, but she immediately became wary: "Wait, are you guys really that kind? Could this be some kind of trap?"

"Go if you want, don't go if you don't," he said coldly. "But remember one thing: keep an eye on those little devils of yours, don't let them come to China and cause trouble. If even one of them breaks free and runs over..."

Her voice suddenly turned stern: "Next time you'll see a royal decree personally delivered by Queen Keisha!"

Morgana's playful expression vanished.

She knows her older sister all too well.

Keisha could tolerate her running around freely and the repeated resurgence of the demon civilization, but once her bottom line was crossed...

The scene of Keisha chasing her across half a galaxy with her silver wings is still vivid in my mind.

"Tsk, I know, I know." Morgana waved her hand, reverting to her nonchalant expression. "So what if I don't touch China? It's not like I care that much."
