Angel Yan and Angel Zui instinctively rose from their seats at the barbecue stand, wings unfurling and weapons drawn, the moment they spotted Morgan.
This reaction had practically become second nature to all angels when confronting demons.
"Wait. Let Demon Unit One come first."
Kei Yamanaka lightly pressed his finger downward, using magic energy that dark energy couldn't detect to forcibly keep Yan and Zui seated.
"W– Mr. Han, isn't Demon Unit One already on Blue Planet?"
Angel Zui's face flushed slightly, her eyes narrowing in confusion.
Earlier, Kei Yamanaka had detected Demon Unit One's dark energy reconnaissance in advance and took precautions accordingly.
It proved he fully possessed the ability to detect—and even pinpoint—Demon Unit One.
So why wait?
"The space-time wormhole is still open."
Angel Yan suppressed the intense urge to kill that surged unbidden at the sight of demon queen Morgan.
Her gaze fixed on the hundred-meter-tall space-time wormhole that had yet to close.
The demon legions could fight against angels for millennia not only because of their continuous resurrection of demon warriors, but also because Morgan was exceptionally skilled at fleeing and hiding.
She'd recently suffered a crushing defeat.
Weakened by heavy energy loss and lacking subordinates, she was sure to be on high alert now.
And the recent planetary-scale dark energy scan by Demon Unit One—if it hadn't detected her and Zui, it must have found others.
These sly bastards were no doubt preparing a quick escape at any moment.
Mr. Han wasn't in a hurry to send them into action.
Chances were, he wanted to cut off Morgan's escape routes, forcing Demon Unit One to intervene in person.
That way, they avoid the hassle of chasing after the demons, making it easier to eliminate both in one strike.
"You're sharp."
Kei Yamanaka gave a light chuckle, offering Yan an appreciative glance.
No wonder Angel Yan had been given such responsibility and named the new Queen of Angels after Kaissa's disappearance.
Without relying on engines or celestial computers—
her judgment and reflexes surpassed those of other angel warriors.
"Quantum Engine, seal off every possible escape route Morgan might use."
Kei Yamanaka silently instructed the Quantum Engine within his mind.
[Initiating Quantum Combat Mode. Analyzing target: Target is humanoid lifeform possessing Angel Third Generation Genes, Demon Third Generation Genes, and advanced dark energy manipulation capabilities... Scanning for all current escape methods used by Morgan.]
[Scan complete. Activating High-Level Defined Matter and Concept Manipulation Protocols. Spatial Concept Lockdown activated within a ten-kilometer radius surrounding the target, Morgan, prohibiting all spatial abilities—lockdown completed. Underground Protective Barrier erected, disabling all Earth-based earth-teleportation techniques—formation complete. Dark Energy Repulsion Field engaged...]
"Oh, and also disable Morgan's demon transformation capability too."
Kei Yamanaka perceived a slight shift in spatial concepts and casually grabbed a lamb skewer from the table, taking a bite as he waited.
[Demonic Transformation Protocol: Gene strikes, transplants, activation, catalysis involved.]
[Optimal Algorithm: Anchor point locked via temporal concept.] Anchor setting completed. [Gene Rewriting Effect: Reverts subject to anchored temporal state.]
"Dormammu must've received this process too."
Kei Yamanaka felt his yuan energy draining rapidly. He mentally scoffed, then raised his hand and chugged another cup of beer.
Under the gazes of Angel Yan and Angel Zui.
The world around him remained almost unchanged.
Except the spatial wormhole hovering a hundred meters overhead had already vanished while Kei Yamanaka continued eating and drinking casually.
Meanwhile, Morgan, standing in front of the door at the center of the street, remained completely unaware.
Still reciting her demonic proclamation.
"...You sheep bound in chains, your Queen shall bestow upon you a millennium of life, freedom without limits, and the freedom to soar at will. Embrace your ultimate evolution! Rejoice in the beauty of demons!"
Morgan's scornful gaze swept over the crowd.
Those ordinary people who sensed something wrong began running away.
Several older men bolted straight into the nearest precinct and yanked out the officer on duty.
Some bold young people watched from afar,
pointing repeatedly at Morgan's bizarre outfit.
Before the Tao Tie civilization's invasion, most residents of Huang Village clearly hadn't yet grasped the true danger of a grotesque stranger appearing like a deus ex machina.
"Oh? Long time no see, Atuo."
Morgan looked toward the young man holding a hoe.
She swayed toward him, approaching with a slim-hipped strut, and lightly patted his shoulder.
"I'm not Atuo... I'm Yu Baosheng."
The young man, being touched, stammered in reply.
A faintly seductive smirk curled Morgan's heavily made-up lips. Activating her inner engine, she exhaled dark energy toward the youth.
But...
her breath did leave—only to dissipate instantly upon release.
Before the trace demon genes could take hold, an unfamiliar presence surged from Yu Baosheng.
As if rewinding time itself, he snapped back to his original, unaffected state.
"What the *hell* was that?!"
Morgan stumbled back in shock.
Too late, she realized—her command over dark energy was being blocked. Once released, it simply vanished!
The spatial wormhole she'd kept open in the sky for immediate escape had already disappeared!
Even her link to Demon Unit One had been cut!
Without hesitation, Morgan leaped upward. Her demonic wings flared behind her, trying to lift her skyward and flee this village that now chilled her bones—but she barely cleared half a meter before crashing down again.
Staring down at the unbroken surface below, Morgan truly began to panic.
Under the effect of some local ability, the ground wasn't just steel-hard—it was a flight-restricted zone!
Otherwise, with her strength just now, she could've easily jumped dozens of meters!
"Damn it! I'm so screwed! Karl, you moron! You said this was a pre-nuclear civilization—no powerful fighters around! Is that girly bastard trying to kill me or something?!"
Morgan shot a fierce, dangerous glare at the crowd, trying to pinpoint whoever had sabotaged her from behind.
The young men nearby, who had once bravely gathered to watch the chaos, hurriedly retreated even farther at the sight of this raging lunatic.
What else could they do when facing a complete lunatic?
"Hey! Disturbing public order! Come with me to the station for some proper cooling off!"
An officer from the precinct approached.
He stared at the punk-styled madwoman in front of him with pure helplessness.
Letting ordinary folks watch was fine,
But he couldn't let this madwoman keep stirring up trouble on his turf—otherwise, there'd be complaints by morning!
Feeling encircled by danger, Morgan had already lost any patience for wasting words on regular civilians.
She raised her arm and launched a punch straight into the officer's gut, hoping to swat this annoying fly aside!
However, the officer, who should have flown backward from the impact, seemed to rewind through space, standing right back in front of her less than half a second later.
Looking down at the fist embedded in his gut,
The officer frowned.
"Assaulting an officer?! Guess we're putting handcuffs on you then!"
"What the actual f*ck... What is this..."
Without hesitation, Morgan took off running down the street!
If even an ordinary person had mysterious protective forces like this, how powerful must her hidden enemy be?!
Staying here any longer would make her an idiot!
"Heh? Trying to run too?"
Seeing the punk-styled lunatic making a break for it, the officer immediately gave chase.
Back in the day, he used to be a Class Two athlete. There's no way he'd let someone escape right in front of him...
Wait... Is this chick seriously rabbit-fast or something?
"Quantum Engine, generate a circular running track and adjust the gravity field to help her warm up properly."
Kei Yamanaka saw Morgan, visibly terrified and hair-raisingly panicked, and smirked, once again mentally instructing the Quantum Engine.
Pitter-patter~
A cacophony of rapid footsteps echoed through the air.
Angel Yan watched as Morgan's legs blurred with speed after passing the police station entrance for the third time, then propped her chin in one hand with one leg casually slung over the other.
"Zhuikui, did you get that recorded?"
"Got it! Got it! I'll send it straight to the Queen later, hehehe~"
Behind Morgan, the determined officer finally halted at the station entrance, panting heavily, both hands resting on his knees.
