Chinese animation: Starting with Bad Guys

Back then, although she strongly disagreed with Liang Bing's ideas, she never really thought of killing her own sister. She only imprisoned her, hoping that she could reflect and wake up.

What did Ke Liangbing do?

She directed her demons to launch a frenzied invasion of the Heavenly Court of Merlo, and tricked her former friend He Xi into opening the barrier by taking advantage of her trust and kindness!

After escaping, she even delivered a fatal blow to her older sister from behind!

That blow tore apart more than just the divine body.

"The wounds on my body have long since healed."

Keisha's fingers gently touched her perfect heart, her voice still calm, yet carrying a faint but soul-chilling pain:

"But the wounds here have never healed. They constantly remind me of what it feels like to have trust betrayed."

Liang Bing was surprised that Keisha would suddenly bring up this old grievance that she thought she had buried long ago. Her expression instantly became extremely unnatural, her eyes flickered, and she subconsciously avoided Qin Chuan's gaze.

She wasn't entirely without remorse at the time, but with tens of thousands of years of hostility and ideological conflict, that faint sense of guilt had long been covered and distorted by thoughts like "she deserved it," "she brought it on herself," and "she was a slave to the order of justice."

Being brought up by Keisha in person, especially in front of Qin Chuan, she felt a surge of intense embarrassment and anger, as if her last shred of dignity had been torn away. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to speak:

"Hmph! Why bring up such old, trivial matters?! It's never going to end! Fine, I'll just stand here and let you swat me with that damned Silverwing! That'll settle things! How about that?! Is that fair enough?!"

She raised her face, looking like a reckless, determined woman.

Keisha looked at her "what's the use of trying" attitude and suddenly chuckled very softly, a chuckle that revealed no emotion: "Fine."

Her slender, jade-like fingers twitched slightly, their trajectory almost imperceptible. In an instant, two incredibly sharp silver wing blades, their edges flowing with destructive energy and gleaming with a cold, icy light, appeared out of thin air, like venomous snakes waiting to hunt, emanating a terrifying aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

Liang Bing subconsciously tensed her body, not using dark energy defense, seemingly prepared to withstand this blow that was enough to tear apart a star.

However, Keisha's Silver Wings did not strike Liang Bing. Instead, in a fraction of a second, at a speed beyond the limits of visual perception, it suddenly turned to the side and behind a seemingly empty void filled only with wispy clouds!

A piercing shriek that seemed to tear space apart suddenly erupted!

"Clang—!"

A deafening clang of metal clashing rang out, accompanied by a mournful sound as space was forcibly torn apart!

A strange figure shrouded in a gray cloak was forced out of its highly concealed state by this sudden and incredibly precise attack!

Before he could even react, he was cleaved in two at the waist by the incomparably sharp silver wings that contained divine destructive power! His internal organs and strange energy blood gushed out instantly!

A painful groan rang out in the dark communication channel!

It was Snow, the most loyal Styx messenger under Death God Karl!

"Snow?!!"

Liang Bing's expression changed drastically as she instantly realized what had happened. She immediately used encrypted dark communication to sternly question Karl, who was far away in the Styx Galaxy:

"Karl! What the hell do you mean?! Didn't I clearly tell you the plan was temporarily canceled?! How dare you secretly do this behind my back?! Do you want to die?!"

After a moment of silence on the other end of the communication line, Karl's voice, which was always gentle but now sounded unusually cold and hollow, came through, without the slightest hint of apology:

"I'm sorry, Liang Bing. I cannot stand by and watch you form any kind of alliance. For the true arrival of the Void Age, for the manifestation of ultimate wisdom, some necessary sacrifices are unavoidable. Including our friendship."

The next moment, before Liang Bing could rage again, a massive, bizarre, and irresistible spatial fluctuation that transcended the laws of physics suddenly descended!

It did not originate from Snow, but was a pre-planned large-scale void transfer trap. Snow's exposure may have been merely a signal to activate it!

This force instantly engulfed Qin Chuan, Keisha, and Liang Bing!

Their figures distorted and blurred violently in this isolated airspace, like a poorly projected image. Powerful energy tried to resist, but was quickly neutralized and disintegrated by the strange void energy, and then disappeared completely!

Only the severed remains of Snow were left, slowly falling into the endless sea of ​​clouds below, and the sky that quickly returned to calm, as if nothing had ever happened.

Karl's conspiracy, the cold fangs hidden beneath his academic robes, was finally fully revealed at this moment.

Chapter 30 Liang Bing’s Guardian Oath

Emerald Star, a massive and scorching celestial body, floats coldly against the dark backdrop of the universe, like the giant eye of death, radiating a suffocating light and heat.

Qin Chuan, Keisha, and Liang Bing were forcibly teleported to the front of this about-to-explode supernova by Karl's bizarre spatial displacement technology.

"Karl! You damned illusion! You treacherous bitch! How dare you scheme against me!!"

After realizing what was happening, Liang Bing immediately launched into a tirade against Karl through all available channels, her voice trembling slightly with anger and a pang of betrayal.

She had already abandoned her plan to use Lena to detonate Emerald Star because of Qin Chuan, but she never expected that Karl would continue to carry it out behind her back!

There was complete silence on the other end of the communication line. Perhaps out of guilt, or perhaps because he felt there was no need to say anything more, Karl did not respond.

The curses sounded powerless and pale in the vastness of space.

Liang Bing got tired of cursing and finally realized that cursing would not help.

She didn't dare to look back at Qin Chuan and Keisha, especially Keisha.

She turned her head, her voice tinged with a self-deprecating resignation: "Keisha, mock me all you want. Laugh at my foolishness and ignorance! I trusted the wrong person, and I deserve this fate!"

However, the expected cold mockery did not come.

Keisha's voice was surprisingly calm, even tinged with a hint of regret:

“Liang Bing, I’ve said it before: those who gaze into the abyss will eventually be swallowed by it. Karl is the best example. He was obsessed with studying ultimate fear, and now he himself has merged into that void, becoming some kind of phantom that is neither alive nor dead, and can no longer be considered a normal life.”

Her voice suddenly softened: "One of the reasons I strongly opposed your research back then, and even went so far as to imprison you, was because I was afraid you would end up like Karl now. I didn't want to see you go that way."

Liang Bing was stunned. Keisha's words were like a key, instantly unlocking the floodgates of her memories that had been sealed for tens of thousands of years.

At that time, her father was alive, and Keisha was not yet the Holy Keisha, nor was she Morgana.

During a competition between the sisters, she accidentally severely injured Keisha. Her father was furious and wanted to punish her severely. It was Keisha, lying in bed pale-faced, who, holding her father's hand, pleaded for her life with great difficulty.

In the end, she was only sent to the border for training, as a minor punishment to serve as a warning.

"She...she was protecting me in her own way from the very beginning?"

A huge rock was thrown into the cool, icy lake of the heart, causing it to surge with waves.

She and Keisha were indeed sisters for only a few hundred years, but mortal enemies for tens of thousands of years.

Looking back now, those centuries of sisterhood, those warm details buried by hatred and ideological conflicts, should have been the most cherished treasures of her long life.

She slowly turned her head to look at her sister on the throne, who was still majestic but whose eyes were no longer cold. Her voice was a little hoarse:

"If you... if you had told me this sooner... maybe we... wouldn't have ended up like this today."

Keisha also sighed softly, her sigh filled with the regret that time could not be turned back: "Yes, if I had faced you more as your sister, rather than as the Angel King, everything might have been different."

Overcoming tens of thousands of years of separation and misunderstanding, at this moment, in front of this dying star, the two sisters finally broke through the ice and truly saw the longing and cherishing for family affection that had never truly been extinguished deep in each other's hearts.

"As long as the knot in your hearts can be untied and you can make up," Qin Chuan's voice rang out gently, with a sense of relief, "it's never too late."

Just then, Karl's virtual projection appeared silently to the side.

His expression remained calm, even carrying a hint of scholarly sincerity: "I apologize for interrupting this touching reunion of the two sisters. But out of respect, I feel it is necessary to explain the current situation to you."

"In the minds of most living beings, spacetime is stable and unchanging. But I believe that spacetime can be defined and manipulated."

Karl's voice was as if he were explaining a simple physical theorem:

"Civilizations in the known universe have used wormholes to travel from one point in space to another. Void technology, on the other hand, does not require moving the living organism itself, but directly moves the position of 'space'."

"Theoretically, the three of you are still above Earth. I have simply 'moved' the space where Emerald Star is located to your position."

He pointed to the star that was about to explode.

"Furthermore, from the very beginning, I didn't necessarily need the sunlight to detonate it. The stellar drive technology of the Lieyang Civilization was already backed up in the Great Clock's database. This was originally a project jointly researched by Principal Kiran and the first Sun God Emperor Hongkun."

Carl added calmly, completely shattering the last shred of hope in Liang Bing's heart.

Liang Bing couldn't help but swear again, but felt a wave of powerlessness.

Karl let her hurl insults, calmly announcing, "The Emerald Star before us will explode in less than a minute. Unless you can, like me, abandon your fragile organic life forms and merge into the great void, even Queen Keisha's divine body will not be able to survive the supernova explosion."

Keisha sat regally on her throne, her expression still calm, even carrying a hint of mockery: "You're right. A supernova explosion is indeed enough to shatter my divine atom."

"You have thirty seconds left."

Karl's voice was like a countdown to death; he extended an invitation to the three, especially Liang Bing:

"Come, join me. Embrace the void, and you will not only survive, but also explore the ultimate wisdom of the universe with me..."

Liang Bing suddenly raised her head, her face filled with determination and disgust:

"Shut up, Karl! I'm telling you, even if the universe is destroyed, I will never become like you, that inhuman monster!"

She seemed determined to tear everything apart at the last moment; she pointed at Carl's projection, her voice sharp and clear:

"Don't think I don't know! You've had a crush on me ever since we were at Super God Academy! Right? But look at yourself, with that gloomy, loser look! Even if I, Liang Bing, were blind, I could never like you! From beginning to end, there has only ever been one person I've loved—"

She turned her head sharply to look at Qin Chuan beside her, her eyes burning with sincerity, no longer concealing anything: "—It's him! Qin Chuan!"

Karl's figure swayed slightly, and the projection seemed to dim a bit. He remained silent for a moment before asking in a dry voice:

"Is it because of his time-space abilities? Do you think that's the only hope against the ultimate fear?"

"Pah!" Liang Bing spat. "His ability to travel through time is only part of his charm! His strength, his sense of responsibility, his occasional mischievousness... everything about him is something you, a loser who's always scheming in the shadows, will never understand!"

Perhaps it was the fearlessness of facing death, perhaps it was to give Karl one last jab, or perhaps it was the final outpouring of true feelings, but Liang Bing actually faced Qin Chuan and, in an unprecedentedly solemn and affectionate tone, recited the vow of protection that an angel can only utter to one person in their lifetime:

"I am willing to be his guardian angel."

Love what he loves, think what he thinks.

To bear his pain and help him through his suffering.

Whether poor or rich, whether lowly or noble, whether living in chaotic times or ignored by the gods,

I will draw my sword and fight for him.

Fold his wings.

"Never to part, forever!"

The solemn and sacred oath echoed through the desolate starry sky, creating an eerie contrast with the rapidly escalating energy fluctuations of Emerald Star.

Karl's projection froze completely, and a crack, seemingly born of "the greatest sorrow is a broken heart," appeared on his perpetually calm face.

He didn't speak again; his consciousness seemed to have left, leaving only the projection mechanically and coldly counting down the final seconds.

The countdown numbers jumped in sync with the devastating energy eruptions on the surface of Emerald Star.

The moment the last number reached zero, the echo of Liang Bing's vow seemed to linger.
