The officer on duty nearly blacked out when he saw that sa nonconformist lunatic sprint past him again.
Wasn't this just plain provocation?
His chest felt tight with rage, the frustration stuck halfway up his throat. He stord over to an old police cruiser, yanked open the door, and fired up the engine.
One glance at the full gas tank was all he needed. He floored it and took off in hot pursuit!
Let's see if that guy's two legs can outrun four wheels!
...
"Yan, this stuff tastes amazing!"
Now that Angel Azhui was finally able to relax, she started devouring the lamb skewers one after another, not even pausing to breathe.
anwhile, the Demon Queen was scrambling in retreat, while the angel lounged nearby, happily munching on grilled at and sipping barley juice.
If soone posted this scene on the angelic communications channel...
Wahh~ (?＞?＜?)~~
She'd definitely get a ton of admiration and jealous stares from the other girls!
...
"Yamanaka, you don't seem like you actually intend to kill Morgana."
Angel Yan held a glass of barley juice, watching Yamanaka Shinno crack open peanuts with a contemplative look.
Even though Morgana had been trapped here...
He hadn't used a single truly harmful attack from beginning to end.
"You've all been stuck in this back-and-forth for tens of thousands of years. Why should I be the one to stress over it?"
Yamanaka Shinno's eyes never left Morgana, even as she ran. He casually divided up the grilled food on the table, storing half of it in the Dust Song Pot to share later with Denisa and Clare.
...
"Queen Keisha…"
Angel Yan furrowed her brows slightly.
Unlike Azhui, who was barely over a thousand years old, she knew much more about the Demon Queen Morgana.
Morgana— was an angel warrior who had fought alongside Queen Keisha to overthrow the old celestial order.
...
"Don't overthink it."
Shinno leaned back in his plastic chair, showing no interest in elaborating further.
He wasn't the type to air other people's dirty laundry.
The war between angels and demons had dragged on for tens of thousands of years.
And based on what was shown in the original canon, Keisha—with her holy body and silver wings—was fully capable of overpowering Morgana.
If she had truly resolved to end Morgana once and for all, then no matter how Morgana fled, Keisha could've just kept tailing her, launching ambushes and sniper strikes over ti. With ten thousand years at her disposal, Morgana would've been dead a thousand tis over.
Don't give that excuse about "the Angel Queen has too many civilizations to govern, she can't spare the ti."
We're talking ten thousand years—not a day, not a decade.
So clearly, Keisha herself was conflicted.
Once upon a ti, Morgana had been soone extrely important—special—to her.
Since she lacked the resolve to eliminate Morgana outright, she chose to follow proper protocol instead: whenever demons showed up, she'd send angels to wipe them out, preventing the spread of fallen ideology throughout the known universe.
But if the day ca that she and Morgana stood face to face again...
Whether it was for her fallen angel warriors, or to uphold the justice and order she championed—she would not hold back!
She would leave it to fate.
...
Could Morgana guess what Keisha was thinking?
Of course she could.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have reacted so strongly when Death God Karl asked her to be bait to distract Keisha.
...
"I'm not so naive little girl."
Angel Yan shook her head and didn't delve further into Keisha and Morgana's history.
If sothing wasn't docunted in the Knowledge Vault, that ant Queen Keisha didn't want anyone to know about it.
Angel Azhui, who had been eavesdropping with her ears perked and curiosity brimming, imdiately straightened up when she heard Yan's response.
Hmph, she was over a thousand years old too!
Definitely not so clueless little girl!
...
Buzz—
Far off on the horizon, more than ten kiloters away...
A bizarre structure appeared in the sky—like a floating island with a pair of devil's wings. This was the pinnacle of demon technology: Demon One.
Outside the interference field of the Dinsional Engine, it opened a massive spatial wormhole.
The island itself was enormous—over a thousand ters in diater—but the demon wings on either side stretched over ten thousand ters!
Even an ordinary civilian could see it clearly!
As the first person noticed the anomaly and began screaming in panic, the people of Huang Village—who had been watching the cop chase the "madman" for entertainnt—plunged into chaos.
They began fleeing in all directions.
Even the officer chasing Morgana jumped out of the car, forcing himself to be brave as he tried to organize an evacuation.
...
Demon One, guided by its demon pilots, quickly approached Huang Village and crashed directly into the interference zone.
They had co to find and rescue their Queen.
But before they could even locate her...
Most of Demon One's dark-energy propulsion systems began failing. The massive craft plumted from the sky.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
A series of thunderous explosions shook the region.
The people, already on edge, were now consud by full-blown terror.
...
Among the chaos, Morgana stopped in her tracks, her face dark as she stared toward the direction Demon One had fallen.
She had already spotted Yamanaka Shinno, Angel Yan, and Angel Azhui nearby.
She'd been holding out—waiting for Demon One to arrive and assist with processing power, hoping it might crack this bizarre field surrounding her.
But those idiots...
They flew straight into the trap!
Now they were gonna get wiped out in one go!
...
"Wait here."
Yamanaka Shinno stood from his seat.
In a single step, he vanished and reappeared beside the wreckage of Demon One.
Though others were unable to use any space techniques within the interference range of the Dinsional Engine, he was the one operating it—like a ga master with backend admin access. The rules didn't apply to him.
The colossal Demon One had created a massive crater in the desolate forest.
Most of the demons onboard were groaning in pain, unable to even move.
A few unlucky ones had died instantly upon impact.
Yamanaka Shinno swept his right hand across the air.
A multicolored flash from the Primordial Cosmic Realm flickered, and both Demon One and all the demons onboard were instantly sucked into the now greatly expanded dinsional space.
All that remained was an enormous crater.
...
With another step, he reappeared at the BBQ stall and sat back down to keep enjoying his skewers.
"All done?"
Angel Yan eyed him with curiosity.
With dark energy blocked, she had no way of knowing what had happened while he was gone.
"Mm. Demon One is mine now."
Yamanaka Shinno grinned and popped open another bottle of cold beer.
The Dinsional Engine, now supported by his overclocked dinsional supercomputer, was already working to hack Demon One's dark-dinsion database.
It wouldn't be long now.
All of the demon tech would be his.
And Demon One would be fully under his control.
...
"Yan, Mr. Shinno—she's coming."
Angel Azhui instinctively reached for her dark-dinsion Fla Sword.
Then rembered she couldn't access it here.
Her hand hovered awkwardly at her waist as she anxiously looked ahead...
