Hua Ye stood frozen in complete confusion.
Just a moment ago, he had been on the warship, watching his angel legions launch an all-out assault on Keisha and her two companions.
A vulgar smile curled on his lips.
"Three mere angels… How could they ever stand against thousands?"
Sitting on the bridge like a victorious monarch, Hua Ye was basking in luxury, being served sweet fruits by a female angel.
And then—
In an instant, everything changed.
A flash.
His entire angel army vanished without a trace.
Thousands of soldiers — gone, like steam evaporating.
Only Keisha and her two allies remained.
The fruit tumbled from Hua Ye's slack jaw and hit the floor. He didn't even notice.
Shoving the female angel aside, he bolted to his feet.
『Hua Ye』: "What the hell is going on?!"
His voice echoed as he glared at the empty battlefield.
Even the angels assigned to protect him aboard the ship couldn't explain it. They were just as lost.
『Hua Ye』: "You! Go check it out!"
『Random Angel』: "Yes, sir!"
The angels turned to move, but before they could take a step—
They vanished.
Just like the others. Gone without a trace.
『Hua Ye』: "WHAT'S HAPPENING?! WHERE DID THEY GO?!"
Panic set in.
A sudden blur passed before Hua Ye's eyes.
A searing pain clamped down on his neck—as if a vice of steel had latched onto it.
The scenery shifted violently. He was no longer on his ship.
He was suspended mid-air.
Surrounded by four figures.
Three were angels — the very ones he had tried to capture.
The fourth was a black-haired man.
This man gripped Hua Ye by the neck, holding him like trash.
Furious, humiliated, Hua Ye — self-proclaimed King of the Angels — trembled with rage.
All his life, he had wallowed in indulgence, worshipped like a god. This? This was beneath him!
Roaring, he threw a punch at his captor—
Useless.
The blow had no effect. Only his own fist throbbed in pain.
Still, he struggled. Anything to break free.
But the grip only tightened. His neck felt like it would snap.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Meanwhile, Keisha's parents stared in stunned silence at the man holding Hua Ye.
They recognized him instantly.
Hua Ye. The self-titled King of Angels.
As former angels themselves, there was no way they wouldn't.
But what puzzled them was: How had this man captured Hua Ye?
Wasn't Hua Ye just on his warship?
Could this black-clad stranger have boarded the ship and seized him—
All without them noticing?
That was impossible, wasn't it?
No one could move that fast…
Keisha, meanwhile, looked curiously at Carl.
『Keisha』: "Carl-sama, who's that you're holding?"
『Carl』: "Hua Ye. He should be the so-called King of Angels right now."
So it was him after all.
Keisha nodded, eyes studying Hua Ye.
It was her first time seeing the man in person.
She had to admit — she was disappointed.
This was the Angel King? Seriously?
His face was plain, forgettable. His aura was sleazy, not regal.
Held aloft by Carl, face red with strain, Hua Ye twisted and squirmed pathetically.
『Keisha』: "So once he's dealt with, does that mean the mission is complete?"
『Carl』: "Probably."
Two beams of red light flared from Carl's eyes —
[Skill Activated]
The energy struck Hua Ye.
In a flash, the man was gone. Melted away, armor and all. No scream. No struggle. Just… gone.
[Target eliminated. Searching for mission completion confirmation…]
Silence.
[Objective not complete. Remaining hostile forces detected.]
『Carl』: "Hmm? Still not finished?"
He had wiped out the male angels aboard the ship. The women were untouched.
『Carl』: "They're not warriors… No weapons, no armor. They're attendants, not soldiers."
But if the system still counted them…
『Carl』: "Do I really have to kill them too?"
He paused, contemplating.
Then activated his enhanced vision —
[Super Sight: Active]
Scanning the galaxy…
In a blink, he vanished.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Keisha's parents finally snapped out of their daze.
『Keisha's Father』: "He… where did he go?"
『Keisha's Mother』: shakes head
They turned to Keisha.
『Keisha』: also shakes head "I have no idea where Carl-sama went."
『Keisha's Father』: sighs deeply "That man… his strength is unimaginable."
『Keisha's Mother』: "He must've killed those angels. No one else could've done it."
They had doubted it before. Thousands of angels defeated by one man? Impossible.
But after seeing him capture Hua Ye with their own eyes… they couldn't deny it any longer.
And with Hua Ye dead, a weight lifted from their hearts.
As renegades from the City of Angels, they had been living in fear.
Always cautious. Always watching.
Finally, they could breathe easy.
Both were immensely grateful to Carl.
『Keisha's Father』: "So… how did you meet this Carl fellow?"
『Keisha』: awkwardly "Uhh… it was kind of a coincidence…"
She had no idea how to explain the chat group. It was too bizarre.
