Chapter 274: Divine Revelation! Kidnapping the Angel? Let the New King Redeem the People!
Chu Yang, who suddenly burst onto the battlefield, caused a subtle shift in the situation.
The high‑ranking angels and demons were still fighting fiercely, but Moganna and Kaisha had halted their actions.
"Why are you here?" Kaisha asked softly, not believing that Chu Yang was merely there for the spectacle.
Moganna snorted and said, "From your tone, it sounds like you're meeting an old lover!"
She said, casting a sideways glance at Chu Yang, "I never expected a twenty‑something youngster to be fond of a ten‑thousand‑year‑old old fairy!"
Chu Yang made a face, "Moganna, I only came for the spectacle. While my purpose hasn't changed yet, you'd better not speak so bluntly!"
Moganna let out a cold snort but said nothing more, fearing that the guy might, at the slightest disagreement, jump straight into the angels' side.
Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "You keep going; I just want to feel Karl's tactics."
Moganna's gaze hardened, a hint of delight flashing in her eyes.
If Karl makes a move, Chu Yang standing beside Kaisha will surely be sent to the Jade Star as well.
Thus, he would share the supernova's explosion with Kaisha! If they could use this chance to eliminate Chu Yang, it would be an unexpected delight for Moganna.
Repeated setbacks have left her with no goodwill toward Chu Yang, especially since his power is unfathomable—a being full of variables.
As long as Chu Yang and Kaisha both die, Moganna is confident she can join forces with Karl to lead the war council!
Kaisha frowned slightly; although she still didn't know what Moganna and Karl were preparing, the fact that they dared to launch a battle directly over Earth showed they were highly confident.
Kaisha didn't want to drag Chu Yang into this, because just last night she was still pondering, after this matter ends—or perhaps billions of years later—whether to act as a matchmaker for Chu Yang and He Xi. A mad new god and an old fairy who only knows scholarly research; who knows what sparks might fly between them? Yet Kaisha didn't intervene, although she and Chu Yang had only met a handful of times, she had already formed a solid impression of his character.
He is a man whose word is law; no one can sway his thoughts.
Since Chu Yang stays out of the fight, Kaisha and Moganna ignore him and continue this God‑King‑level contest.
The situation is lopsided; Moganna is almost being crushed, while the demons grow bolder, trading blows evenly with the angels.
Perhaps because Moganna is holding back, or perhaps because the gap between them is simply too…
In just a moment, Moganna was rendered powerless and seized by Kaisha.
"Farewell forever, my foolish sister!"
Kaisha's expression remained flat; she had suffered from Moganna's betrayal and occasionally recalled the warmth of their sisterly bond, but the righteous order would not permit her any mercy.
At that moment, a massive illusory head roared in, as if materializing from nowhere, swallowing Kaisha and the Chu Yang beside her in one gulp! "Queen!!"
The angels watched the queen being ambushed with eyes wide, their sockets seeming to split, and their attacks grew increasingly frantic.
Moganna, having succeeded, was not excited; she paced slowly to Kaisha's throne, turned and sat, her demeanor a bit despondent, murmuring, "Extremes have forged our present and shattered our future, yet perhaps not…"
"I seem to glimpse… an unparalleled future!"
It would be a future without the oppression of the pantheon of god‑kings, brimming with limitless possibilities! A dazzling light flashed, clearing Chu Yang and Kaisha's vision, revealing a fiery red planet ahead.
But that wasn't the planet's original hue; extreme instability made it seem ready to explode at any moment.
In front of the planet, Leina floated in space, arms outstretched.
Dark energy continuously seeped from her mouth and nose, evidently she was either driving or destroying the planet.
Kaisha waved lightly; a speck of stellar dust drifted over, taking a seat on the right half, and with a glance she invited Chu Yang.
Chu Yang sat on the left half of the stellar dust, arms crossed, eyes narrowed slightly, using the power of the Infinite Gem, combined with his own insight and Javis, continuously analyzing the star's propulsion and the principles of its explosion.
One of his reasons for getting involved was that supernova detonations are rare sights in the cosmos.
Another purpose was to personally experience the Void's power.
At this moment Chu Yang analyzed the Jade Star before him while repeatedly recalling the feeling of being enveloped by the Void's power.
Javis's calculation speed was modest, but Chu Yang's insight, in any world, would unquestionably be of a prodigious level.
He used Javis to simplify those complex algorithms, then reverse‑engineered the principles with his prodigious insight, achieving great efficiency.
"That truly exceeds my comprehension…"
Kaisha wasn't particularly surprised, having long anticipated this moment, though she hadn't expected Moganna and Karl to set the trap this way.
"Your contempt for the Void…" a low, hoarse voice suddenly rang, followed by the emergence of a void shadow.
But before he could finish, Kaisha cut in, "You're not Karl; who are you?"
"I…" the projection began, but Kaisha interrupted again, "Karl! Come on! Explain!"
"I…" the projection was extremely depressed, but it was abruptly shattered.
Immediately after, another void shadow materialized nearby.
It was a short, young‑handsome man cloaked entirely in a black mantle.
Death God Karl!
A deity who wields the Great Clock, stands atop the Cosmic Tech Tree, and is obsessed with studying the Void.
He is also an extremist who glorifies death! Karl placed his right hand on his left chest, bowed slightly, and said, "My apologies, Queen Kaisha, and to this Earth new god who shouldn't have been drawn in."
Chu Yang shrugged, "I just came for the spectacle; you keep going."
Karl nodded and truly ignored him, as if it were the most ordinary thing.
Kaisha glanced at the two, suddenly sensing some commonality between them, then asked Karl, "How did I get here?"
Chu Yang selectively blocked their conversation, focusing on analyzing the Void and the star‑detonation principles, unwilling to be distracted by Karl's theory.
Regarding the Void, everyone has a different understanding—some differ by a hair's breadth, others, like Karl and Kaisha, are diametrically opposed.
At that moment Chu Yang seemed to attain sudden enlightenment; his mind raced so fast that even Javis struggled to keep up with his analytical speed.
After all, compared to Chu Yang, the continual simplification of algorithms imposes a huge load on Javis.
Such a revelatory state is rare, but unfortunately Chu Yang has little time left.
Because the supernova before them will explode in less than a minute.
Kaisha slowly rose, spread her arms, smiled, and said softly, "Come on! I'd like to see how you destroy my sense of justice!"
Chu Yang looked up suddenly, as if a galaxy flowed within his eyes.
At the instant before the Jade Star exploded, his and Karl's projections vanished simultaneously, leaving Kaisha alone to face it.
Above Earth, Heaven Blade No. 7.
After Kaisha's death, Mogan Na stepped forward; facing the suppression of a fourth‑generation divine body, the angels were repeatedly repelled with heavy casualties. Fortunately, the vast majority of seriously wounded angels, once they fell into the Yellow Springs, are rescued by Qiang Wei and Qi Lin.
Seated on the throne, one hand propping her chin, Mogan Na, who occasionally waved a hand to crush an angel with demonic claws, suddenly widened her eyes.
Because not far ahead, a familiar figure suddenly appeared!
"Chu Yang?!" Mogan Na exclaimed, her face full of disbelief.
Immediately after, she stomped and raged, "What is that idiot Ka Er doing?"
Wasn't Chu Yang taken away by Ka Er together with Kaisha?
Jade Star is an unknown number of light‑years from Earth; how could this guy return so quickly? Remembering Kaisha's rather "ambiguous" attitude toward Chu Yang earlier, Mogan Na instantly felt like retreating and waved a hand, ordering, "Withdraw!"
We can't keep fighting; if this guy makes a move, even if we escape ourselves, the demons under our command will be severely damaged.
At this moment Mogan Na even felt somewhat relieved; she had dispatched A Tuo and Suo Dun elsewhere, so she wouldn't lose any of her left or right arms.
Chu Yang, after returning, kept a furrowed brow in deep thought, completely ignoring Mogan Na and not hindering the demons' withdrawal.
Watching Demon No. 1 depart, the angels felt no joy, for this did not count as a victory.
Then each angel voluntarily fell beside Chu Yang, staring at him eagerly.
This Earth deity was taken away with the Queen by a mysterious force; now only he has returned, while the Queen's situation remains unknown, and only he can resolve everyone's doubts.
The angels all hoped to hear from Chu Yang confirmation that the Queen is safe.
Chu Yang slowly came to his senses, shaking his head with some regret.
Jia Wei Si's computation frequency is far too low, unable to keep up with his analysis speed; without a simplified algorithm, his brain simply cannot parse it.
Thus, although he entered a sudden‑realization state, the time was too brief, yielding limited gains.
Looking at the angels gathered around him, Chu Yang was momentarily stunned.
An angel stepped forward, urgently asking, "Lord Chu, the Queen…"
Chu Yang waved his hand and said, "I told Zhi Xin that I don't like this title."
"Ka Er used the Void to bring us to a supernova about to explode."
"Her holy body was blown into countless particles, which the Great Clock then sent to every corner of the known universe."
"To re‑coalesce, it would take at least three hundred million years!"
Hearing Chu Yang's words, all the angels wore a stunned expression, even forgetting their grief.
They could not believe that Kaisha, who single‑handedly established the order of justice, revered across the universe as the King of Gods, could actually die!
It was the angel who reacted first, eyes reddened, asking, "Chu… Mr. Chu Yang, did the Queen leave any instructions?"
Chu Yang shook his head, saying, "She had long foreseen her death and made no attempt to resist."
"Matters after her death have presumably been properly arranged in the Holy Knowledge Repository."
"You can return to Angel City to ask He Xi, and also welcome the new king's coronation!"
"New king? Is it Ai Ni Xi De?" an angel asked blankly.
Chu Yang shook his head, saying, "Instead of asking me here, better wait for a message from the Holy Knowledge Repository."
Speaking, he seemed to recall something, smiling at the angel, "A Zhui, go back and tell He Xi, or your new queen, that all angels who fell to Earth in this war are in my hands."
"The bodies of the fallen dead, I will hand over to you unconditionally."
"But to take away the living, a price must be paid to redeem them."
After speaking, Chu Yang's figure flashed, leaving Heaven Blade No. 7 and returning to Earth.
The angels wore bewildered faces, looking at each other, feeling that Chu Yang's words were even more absurd than the news of the Queen's death.
Redeem the living?
What is this? Kidnapping? In all these years, it's the first time they've heard anyone dare to kidnap angels! Everyone's gaze seemed to contain three words…
What to do? Upon careful thought, it seems there is no other way but to bring the news back.
That day, over the skies of Great Canyon City, they had witnessed Chu Yang's might; now that Queen Kaisha is dead, aside from Heaven Base King He Xi, who can challenge this new Earth deity? Moreover, the Queen had issued an order that no angel may enter Earth without permission from Chu Yang or the Heroic Legion.
Even though Kaisha is dead, she remains the highest belief in the angels' hearts; no one would defy her command.
With no other choice, the angels could only pilot Heaven Run No. 7 toward the Great Worm Bridge in the Milky Way.
At this moment Demon No. 1 also passed through the Great Worm Bridge, hurrying back to the Demon Nebula.
On the ship, Mogan Na couldn't wait to establish communication with Ka Er, then immediately launched a tirade.
"Bitch! Ka Er! Why did Chu Yang return alive?"
"You almost killed me!"
Ka Er's tone remained unhurried, as if nothing could stir his emotions, "Liang Bing, I've never seen you fear anyone so much."
"Not even Holy Kaisha could make you feel fear."
"I @&*#%$… " Mogan Na erupted.
She had seen with her own eyes Chu Yang's ancient sword that surpasses God‑slaying and Void‑level weapons.
Mogan Na had no doubt that it was capable of destroying a fourth‑generation divine body.
Most importantly, Chu Yang is simply too mysterious! To date, all the powers he has displayed cannot be understood with any knowledge of the known universe, as if he were a heretic.
After she vented, Ka Er said again, "Liang Bing, I understand you; he truly is a terrifying person."
"It's not that I let him go, but that I couldn't keep him!"
"He, like me, has penetrated the Void; perhaps his understanding is limited, yet he has countered my methods."
"Kaisha is too powerful; even your wormhole calculations combined with the Great Clock cannot perform wormhole transport on her."
"Thus I used the Void to shift the location of the space they occupy without altering Kaisha's or Chu Yang's positions."
"Therefore, although I brought them to Jade Star, theoretically they remain above Earth."
"Chu Yang, relying on his understanding of the Void, broke through my Void power, which allowed him to return to Heaven Blade No. 7…" (End of chapter)
