Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

It is like a lurking beast, emanating a chilling dark energy fluctuation.

Inside the command center, the light was dim, with only the various control interfaces flashing a ghostly green light.

Morgana, or rather Liang Bing, was scolding a sleazy-looking demon shrouded in black robes, Nightmare Blackwind.

"Black Wind! What are you doing! I asked you to put psychological pressure on her and create openings, not to portray Qin Chuan as such a sleazy guy! He's practically on par with that scumbag Hua Ye!"

Morgana's voice carried obvious dissatisfaction.

The scolded Nightmare Black Wind shrank back dejectedly, its voice shrill:

“Your Majesty, please calm down! The target’s subconscious impression of Mr. Qin Chuan is so deeply ingrained that it’s almost impossible to find any obvious moral weaknesses in him that can be exploited or amplified. I’ve racked my brains, and the only thing I can do is try to distort his behavior patterns and forcibly create conflict and fear…”

He muttered to himself, "But the effect seems unexpectedly good? The target's mental fluctuations are very intense, fear, shame, and even a little excitement? It should have left a considerable psychological scar..."

Morgana sighed, looking utterly exasperated: "Good results my foot! What I need are controllable flaws, not this kind of..."

She couldn't find the right words to describe it.

Black Wind, as if trying to make amends, weakly raised his eyes and suggested, "Your Majesty... um... if you would like to experience that style for yourself... I can also tailor-make one for you..."

"Bullshit!" Morgana cursed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her powerful aura causing the surrounding air to freeze slightly. "If I wanted to sleep with him, would I need to just fantasize about it? I'd be in real life already..."

Her voice abruptly stopped as a figure appeared without warning at the door of the command room, silently watching her—it was Qin Chuan.

Morgana's expression froze instantly, a rare hint of embarrassment and panic flashing across her face.

"Holy crap! When did he get here? How much of what he said just now did he hear?"

She cursed inwardly, but being the infamous Demon Queen, she quickly composed herself, coughed, and waved her hand to tell the bewildered Black Wind and the other demons who were trying hard to suppress their laughter to get lost.

"Get out of here! What are you looking at!"

After her subordinates scrambled away, a slight surge of dark energy coursed through her body, and she quickly transformed back into Liang Bing's refined, perfect, and intellectual appearance, attempting to ease the embarrassment caused by her previous rudeness.

"Ahem... What brings you here?"

Liang Bing tried to make her tone sound normal, and even attempted to force a natural smile, but her slightly flickering eyes betrayed her unease.

Qin Chuan walked into the command room, his gaze calmly sweeping over the surroundings before finally settling on her. He stated his purpose directly: "It's about Lena."

Upon hearing this, Liang Bing's slight embarrassment was immediately replaced by understanding. She shrugged, even adopting a "I'm doing this for your own good" expression, and her tone returned to its usual languid manner:

"Oh, you mean that Little Sun? I just saw you weren't getting along with Lieyang and his gang, so I was helping you get revenge! It kills two birds with one stone, isn't that great?"

She spoke as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, as if she were just making a harmless joke.

Qin Chuan slowly shook his head: "My old grudges with Pan Zhen and even the Lieyang Civilization are one thing. Lena is another. She is pure-hearted and kind-hearted, and she was not involved in those past entanglements. Don't try to take advantage of her anymore."

Liang Bing pursed her lips, seemingly unimpressed by his "differential treatment".

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, a sly glint and a barely perceptible hint of jealousy flashed in her icy blue eyes. She gave a soft snort and took two steps forward:

"That sounds high-sounding. But I think you're not really worried about that clueless little sun; you're just afraid I'll use her to deal with that bitch Keisha, aren't you?"

She stared into Qin Chuan's eyes, trying to find some clues, while lowering her voice to say:

“I won’t lie to you. Karl and I did make a deal. Part of the plan was to control Lena, detonate Emerald Star, trigger a supernova explosion, and completely destroy Keisha’s sacred body. What, you’re going to stop me?”

Qin Chuan met her gaze and readily admitted without hesitation: "Yes. I will stop you from hurting Keisha."

He looked at Liang Bing's slightly changing expression and continued in the same firm tone, "Similarly, if Keisha wants to subject you to her so-called final judgment, I will stop her."

Liang Bing was completely stunned, her red lips slightly parted, unable to utter a word for a moment.

She never expected Qin Chuan to give such an unexpected answer.

This is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of both her and Keisha, yet trying to protect both of them.

This is an almost arrogant promise...

She looked into Qin Chuan's deep eyes, which seemed to encompass the starry sky and see through all illusions, and remained silent for a long time, her complex emotions churning in her eyes.

In the end, she seemed to give up on investigating further, or perhaps she temporarily restrained herself, and whispered, almost muttering, a hint of expectation and doubt that she herself was unaware of: "I hope that when the time comes, you really can do it."

In the end, she seemed to compromise, or perhaps to give Qin Chuan face, she waved her hand, and her tone returned to its usual casualness:

"Alright, alright, I got it. For your sake, I'll leave that little heater alone for now. Is that alright?"

She added, "But let me make this clear: if she comes to me on her own, or if Pan Zhen makes any move first, I won't be lenient."

"So best."

Qin Chuan nodded; he had achieved his goal and said no more.

The figure faded slowly like an ink painting, just as it had come, without causing any spatial fluctuations, and disappeared silently from the Demon One command room.

Liang Bing was left alone, gazing in the direction he had disappeared, her eyes filled with a complex and unreadable expression.

Only the faint hum of the instruments could be heard in the command room.

She stood there for a long time, her fingertips unconsciously tapping the control panel, which eventually turned into a soft, ambiguous sigh that dissipated into the cold air.

Chapter 28 On-site Mediation Meeting for a Love Triangle

The following morning, golden sunlight streamed through the portholes of the Juxia, casting dappled patterns of light into the cabin.

Lena's eyelashes fluttered as she awoke from her sleep.

The first thing I saw was the bed opposite. Qin Chuan had just finished his meditation, and the faint energy flowing around him was slowly receding.

The moment their eyes met, Lena looked away as if she had been burned, her cheeks flushing red and even her earlobes turning a light pink.

She frantically tidied the already neatly made quilt, her eyes darting around, a far cry from her usual forthright demeanor.

At this moment, she was exactly like a young girl experiencing her first love, feeling helpless and overwhelmed.

Last night's absurd and shameful dream made it impossible for her to face Qin Chuan with a normal heart.

Rose and Su Xiaoli, who were standing nearby, took in the whole scene and exchanged a knowing look.

A few days later, inside the command center of the Giant Gorge, all members of the Super Soldier Company sat upright, holding a tactical meeting on how to deal with the main fleet of the Taotie.

Dukao stood in front of the holographic projection, analyzing possible combat scenarios.

Suddenly, a piercing alarm blared without warning throughout the base, and red warning lights spun wildly!

"Warning! Warning! An unanalyzable massive dark energy source has been detected overhead! The energy level exceeds the detection limit! All units, immediately enter Level 1 combat readiness!"

The monitor's voice trembled with horror.

Dukao's expression changed drastically. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up: "Attention everyone! High alert!"

The members of the Super Soldier Company instantly stood up, transformed into several streaks of light, rushed out of the conference room, and quickly arrived at their combat positions on the deck.

The sky, which had been completely overcast just moments before, was now shrouded in an invisible pressure.

The clouds seemed to be parted to both sides by a giant hand, and a dazzling and holy golden light poured down from the sky, dyeing the entire sea surface golden.

Under the tense gaze of everyone, a group of beautiful female angels with pure white wings, wearing silver armor, and with stunningly beautiful faces, slowly descended, surrounding an incomparably magnificent throne.

When their wings spread, they scattered starlight, their solemn and sacred aura almost making one want to prostrate oneself in worship.

On the throne, the one who leaned lazily, whose gaze seemed to pierce through the stars, was none other than the Queen of Gods of the known universe—the Holy Keisha!

She simply sat there, as if she were the center of the entire universe.

The immense divine power made it difficult for the members of the Super Soldier Corps, except for Sun Wukong and Lena, to breathe. Ge Xiaolun even felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders.

Dukao's face was ashen. He stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Holy Keisha, what are you doing on Earth?"

Keisha's gaze swept over Dukao indifferently, with an undisguised contempt: "Oh? Dukao, the war maniac from Nova? No wonder Earth is so turbulent, so it's you here."

Her gaze lingered on Ge Xiaolun for a fraction of a second, and she nodded slightly: "Hmm, Galactic Power. He's quite a promising talent."

But his tone was as if he were commenting on a work of art that concerned him personally, casual and indifferent.

She didn't even bother to glance at anyone else.

In her eyes, the only people she cares about, in the entire known universe, are that person and Morgana.

"Queen Keisha! Morgana's exact location has been pinpointed; she is over the former Japanese island."

Angel Yan stepped forward and respectfully reported:

"However, her dark energy signals indicate that she may have upgraded to a fourth-generation divine body. If the full-power Heavenly Blade Judgment is executed at this moment, there is a 37.5% probability that it can be completely defeated, but there is an extremely high probability that it will cause devastating consequences to the remaining Earth inhabitants in that area."

Keisha lazily raised her hand: "Let humanity decide for itself."

Her gaze swept over the Super Soldier Company, who were standing ready for battle. "According to my theory of theocracy, only the supreme deity of a civilization is qualified to make choices on behalf of civilization."

The gaze finally settled on Ge Xiaolun, whose palms were sweating with nervousness:

"The Galactic Force, though still a work in progress, is arguably a candidate for a supreme god. The future of Earth is in your hands. Will you allow me to rid you of the greatest known evil in the universe and bear a 'small' sacrifice, or will you continue to live in the terrifying shadow of Morgana?"

Ge Xiaolun was stunned by this sudden "heavy responsibility." He never imagined in his life that he, a nobody, would be qualified to talk to the King of Gods and even decide the fate of Earth.

He instinctively stood at attention and stammered, "I...I...I obey the arrangements of the country and the leaders!"

Dukao stepped forward, blocking Ge Xiaolun's path, his tone resolute:

"We disagree! The fate of Earth is in the hands of Earthlings themselves! We will never accept a 'just' judgment from outsiders! If Queen Keisha insists on going her own way, then we will go to war!"

To demonstrate his resolve, Dukao suddenly waved his hand: "Activate! Three-Stage God-Slaying Operation!"

Upon receiving the order, the members of the Super Soldier Squad did not hesitate at all!

Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuang, and Lena immediately took the lead, while Qiangwei, Qilin, Zhao Xin, Cheng Yaowen, and others quickly deployed their formation, sparing no effort to create conditions for their attack!

Even Sun Wukong gripped his golden cudgel tightly, his eyes sharp.

Even when facing the king of gods, they dare to draw their swords to protect the land beneath their feet!

Keisha looked at the scene, which seemed to her like children playing, and even a faint smile appeared on her lips: "Commendable courage, but unfortunately meaningless."

She seemed to see through something, her gaze sweeping across a certain spot in the void, and she said meaningfully, "He's been reluctant to show himself, probably because he wants to use me to properly ignite your fighting spirit and courage, right? This style of doing things is truly as consistent as ever."

Hearing Keisha's words, and hearing her speak of Qin Chuan in a tone different from how she spoke of others—a tone that seemed to carry a special familiarity—the members of the Super Soldier Squad and Du Kao were all stunned, and a strange thought simultaneously arose in their minds:

Judging from the tone, it sounds like there's something going on between Qin Chuan and Keisha.

Just then, a calm voice finally rang out, breaking the tense standoff: "That's enough."

Qin Chuan's figure appeared silently at the front of the deck, as if stepping out of an ink painting, standing between the Super Soldier Company and the Angel Legion.

He first turned around and nodded to the tense soldiers of the Super Soldier Company: "Well done. Facing an invincible enemy, having the courage to draw your sword is the mindset a soldier should have."
