Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

The scene before him confirmed his perception: a golden-haired angel clad in silver armor and wielding a flaming sword was engaged in fierce combat with a massive, crocodile-like humanoid creature wielding a strange crescent-shaped axe.

The roar of colliding energy and the sound of collapsing mountains were incessant.

"Angel Chase, Crocodile God Soton..."

Qin Chuan immediately recognized their identities.

"Evil incarnate, accept the judgment of the angels!"

Angel Zhui Jiao let out a shout, her sword flashing fiercely, yet it could not conceal the disorder and exhaustion in her aura.

"Wow! Little girl, that's impressive! But it's not even enough to fill my teeth!"

The crocodile god Soton roared, its immense power easily deflecting the flaming sword, and with a backhand claw, it grabbed at the angel's chest with the force to tear through space.

Angel Chase tried his best to block, but was sent flying backward by the brute force. Cracks appeared on his silver armor, and he almost dropped the flaming sword in his hand.

Thorton pressed his advantage relentlessly, his massive body catching up at a speed disproportionate to its size, his enormous claws about to crush the beautiful angel along with her divine body!

At this critical moment, a figure silently slipped between the two.

Qin Chuan didn't even make any obvious movements; he just stood there calmly.

Thornton's massive claws, capable of crushing alloy, were unable to advance even an inch beyond three inches from his body, as if they had struck an invisible yet absolutely insurmountable barrier!

At the same time, an invisible and immense force descended instantly, like the most solid cage, imprisoning the roaring and struggling Soton in place, unable to move even a finger, leaving only his violent eyes filled with astonishment and confusion.

The angel had already closed his eyes and awaited death, but the expected suffering did not come.

She opened her eyes in surprise and saw the back of a man with an inexplicable yet reassuring aura, as well as the easily subdued Crocodile God, Soton.

She was about to express her gratitude when she saw the mysterious savior slowly turn her head. His gaze wasn't on her, but rather fixed on a blank spot to his side and behind him. He spoke in a cold voice:

"After watching this show for so long, do I still need to invite you out?"

As soon as the words fell, the space distorted, and a figure wearing a dark blue cloak and a strange metal mask staggered out of the dark space, looking disheveled, clearly having been forced out.

This person is Snow, one of the Four Horsemen of the Styx under the command of Death God Karl, who possesses the ability to trigger natural catastrophes.

Snow was horrified. He considered himself to be extremely skilled at concealing himself, so much so that even high-ranking angels would have difficulty detecting him. Yet this person saw through him at a glance and forced him to reveal himself!

Just as he was about to erupt, the eternally calm yet unquestionable command of his only god, Death Karl, suddenly echoed in his mind:

"Snow, you must show the utmost respect to this man, as if he were my own person descending upon us. There must be no slightest negligence or disobedience."

Snow swallowed back the harsh words he was about to utter. His expression behind the mask shifted rapidly, eventually settling into an extremely humble and obsequious posture. He even bowed slightly, his tone almost fawning:

"Your Excellency, please forgive me! I am Snow, and I was ordered by my god Karl to guard this out-of-control Thornton. I did not intend to disturb you and the angel. I am extremely sorry!"

Qin Chuan was not surprised by his change in attitude, and simply looked at him indifferently.

"This Soton, though it is the brainchild of my god Karl, has wreaked havoc on Earth and killed countless mortals. It is indeed a grave sin and deserves to be punished."

Snow continued with a forced smile, speaking cautiously:

"However, it has taken a lot of my effort to make. I wonder if Your Excellency could be lenient and allow me to retain its hidden information and seal it away as punishment?"

Angel Chase, who had stabilized his injuries, immediately questioned the words, pointing his flaming sword at Snow:

"Seal it? What if you seal it one day and then release it the next, causing havoc on the world again? Your reputation in the Styx Galaxy is worthless to us angels!"

Even when confronted by the angel's questioning, Snow remained humble, bowing even lower.

“Miss Angel, you flatter me! Holy Keisha is the Queen of the Gods of the known universe. The righteous order she established has always been revered and submitted to by our Styx Galaxy. How could we dare to disobey her and release sinners without authorization, thus going against Queen Keisha’s will? Please rest assured!”

His words elevated Keisha and the Order of Justice to an extremely high level, and his tone was sincere and humble to the extreme.

Although Angel Chase remained wary of Styx, she couldn't find a reason to refute his statement, since Styx had never publicly violated Keisha's ban.

She couldn't help but turn her gaze to Qin Chuan, clearly prioritizing him.

Qin Chuan neither commented on Snow's performance nor gave a direct nod, which was taken as tacit approval.

Snow felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and quickly bowed respectfully before taking action.

He took out a peculiar device and aimed it at the imprisoned Soton. A faint light flashed, and Soton's powerful physical body disintegrated like a sand sculpture. The dark information at its core was extracted and sealed in a cube covered with runes.

Having done all this, Snow bowed deeply to Qin Chuan once more, not daring to linger for a moment, and instantly merged into the dark space, disappearing without a trace.

With the formidable enemy defeated and the crisis averted, Angel Chase finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Qin Chuan, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity and gratitude. She clearly saw Snow's almost fearful deference towards this mysterious man.

This person is no ordinary person!

At the same time, the more she looked at Qin Chuan, the more familiar his profile seemed, as if she had seen him somewhere before.

The angel's powerful memory bank rapidly searched and retrieved information. A moment later, she suddenly remembered, her delicate body trembled slightly, and an incredulous astonishment flashed in her eyes!

"That's it! It's him! The only male statue in the central garden of the Heavenly Court of Merlo!"

The Angel Civilization has evolved into a pure land of women, with the Heavenly Court of Merlo being the supreme holy land.

However, at the heart of that holy site, an ancient male statue has always stood.

In her rare moments of leisure, Queen Keisha would often stand alone before that statue, gazing at it quietly with a complex and unfathomable look in her eyes, as if lost in endless memories.

The angel had the good fortune to have seen the statue's face from afar a few times, and it was remarkably similar to the person before him!

The statue's expression was more detached from worldly affairs, while the person in front of it had a more real, down-to-earth feel.

"Who exactly is he? How could Queen Keisha gaze upon him so often, and Styx Snow revere him like a god?"

Realizing that Qin Chuan's identity might be extremely surprising, Angel Chase dared not be negligent and immediately contacted his superior, Left Wing Guardian Angel Yan, secretly through the Angel Communication Network.

"Sister Yan! I met someone on Earth..."

She quickly described everything that had just happened, especially Qin Chuan's physical characteristics and Snow's unusual reaction.

On the other end of the communication, Angel Yan, who was over six thousand years old and had seen much of the world, also fell into a brief silence, obviously retrieving data from the database for comparison.

A moment later, her voice rang out with a hint of doubt:

“Chase, the human male you saw does indeed closely resemble that ancient statue in the Celestial Court of Merlo. However, there is no clear record of the statue's origin, even in the angels' top-secret archives. It seems to be related to the Queen's ancient past. I also have no way of knowing its true identity.”

"Even Sister Lianyan doesn't know?"

The angel was even more surprised.

"Keep him calm, go after him, try to communicate with him as much as possible, but be careful and don't provoke him." Angel Yan's voice turned serious. "I will contact Queen Keisha immediately! This is no small matter!"

After ending the communication, Angel Chase looked at Qin Chuan again, and suddenly felt a little helpless.

She had spent almost her entire life fighting evil alongside her sisters and had almost no experience in normal communication with men. For a moment, she didn't know how to start the conversation to complete Sister Yan's task of "keeping him calm."

Qin Chuan, on the other hand, seemed to see through her embarrassment. He turned around, looked at her calmly, and asked, "Little angel, who is the greatest enemy of the Angel Civilization today?"

His voice was gentle, carrying a reassuring power.

The angel instinctively stood at attention and answered, as if reporting to a superior:

"Your Excellency, the greatest enemy of the Angelic Civilization is currently the Demonic Civilization! Their leader is the evil Demon Queen Morgana! She spreads corrupt and free ideas, desecrates life, and is a mortal enemy of justice and order!"

Her answer was resolute, filled with hatred for the devil.

However, she was still young and had not experienced that ancient era, so she did not know Morgana's true identity hidden beneath her demonic makeup.

But how could Qin Chuan not know?

Morgana, Liang Bing.

The former Apocalypse King, Keisha's sister, the cool girl who was passionate about time and space technology in the laboratory and would bombard people with questions.

"So it really came to this?"

Qin Chuan sighed softly in his heart, a sense of indescribable regret spreading through him.

Although he had expected it, hearing it from an angel warrior himself still made him feel a pang of sadness.

The tides of time and the differences in ideals eventually washed away the friendship that once stood shoulder to shoulder, leaving it unrecognizable.

Chapter 12 The Man the King of Gods Has Waited For Over 20,000 Years

Angel Nebula, the Heavenly Court of Merlo, the private garden of the Holy Keisha.

This is one of the most tranquil corners of the known universe, like an eternal island in a raging sea of ​​energy.

On the floating island, exotic flowers bloom silently, shimmering with a faint light and emitting a refreshing fragrance.

It is not ordinary water, but a miniature star waterfall made of pure energy, hanging down from the suspended cliff like a soft silver veil. The splashing light fragments shimmer like broken diamonds and quietly blend into the diffused light mist.

The air was filled with a gentle and pure energy, and every breath was enough to prolong the life of mortals.

In the center of this exquisitely beautiful, almost dreamlike pure land stands a delicate pavilion carved from a single piece of warm white jade from the universe.

Two of the most noble and powerful women in the known universe are seated facing each other.

Holy Keisha, Queen of the Gods, Supreme Leader of the Angelic Civilization.

She leaned back in her chair with a slightly languid air, her beautifully tailored silver battle dress spreading out, outlining a figure that combined strength and elegance.

She casually rested one hand on the armrest, while holding a cup of steaming hot tea in the other.

Her long, golden hair, like the sunset, cascaded down, making her appearance even more divine and unparalleled.

However, deep within those all-seeing eyes, there was a faint trace of weariness, almost imperceptible to anyone. It was not physical exhaustion, but a subtle detachment from the unchanging world that had settled over the years.

Opposite her was Tianji Wang Hexi.

Her long, silver hair, as smooth as moonlight, cascaded down, and her icy blue eyes were like a deep lake that had been sealed with ice for ages, both clear and unfathomable.

A simple yet elegant blue dress added to her cool and focused demeanor, befitting a top researcher.

She tapped her fingertips lightly on the table, seemingly still working on some complex formula, but her attention was clearly more focused on her old friend across from her.

"Old hag."

Keisha spoke, her voice steady, revealing little emotion, yet naturally carrying a convincing authority:

"You say that in the known universe today, among billions of stars, countless civilizations sing the praises of angels and revere their power. Justice and order are like the inextinguishable starlight, shining on every corner we can reach."

She paused slightly, her gaze seemingly piercing through the pavilion and looking into the boundless depths of the universe.

"But why do I feel like all of this is meaningless?"

She said it very softly, as if she were asking He Xi, or as if she were talking to herself.
