Chapter 136: Taotie Descends
“For Angels, there’s no need for a boyfriend at all. That’s just petty romance. Sister’s entire life is dedicated to the Justice Order. That’s the true Great Love.” Yan said righteously.
“Heh.” Meng Huaifeng smiled without saying a word. Didn’t know who was the one captured and forced into celibacy for a hundred years?
“What level does your strength roughly equate to in the Unknown Universe?” Yan asked curiously.
“On most ordinary planets, I could barely claim to be king. In the Universe, I’m probably mid-tier.” Meng Huaifeng thought for a moment and said.
Yan frowned slightly. Although she was only a Third Generation Super Soldier, with the support of the Angel Network, she could fully match the Main Gods of other God-Making Civilizations. Only a few were opponents she couldn’t beat.
It seems the technological strength of the Unknown Universe is much stronger than that of the Known Universe.
“Since the fight is over, let’s head back. The room isn’t cleaned up yet.” March 7th said. The stuff she bought also needed sorting.
“Kid, trouble you to give Sister a ride. A certain someone showed no mercy at all. Sister is quite injured and needs time to recover. Not suitable for action for now.” Yan looked at Meng Huaifeng resentfully.
“No problem.” Meng Huaifeng agreed. One more or one less made no difference.
The five gathered close together. Meng Huaifeng enveloped them with Imaginary Energy, and Teleportation activated.
The first Teleportation arrived near Earth’s outer orbit. Looking at the glaring Wormhole, Meng Huaifeng paused.
“Uncle Yang, should we close this Wormhole?” Meng Huaifeng asked.
There are differences between Wormholes. Opening a nearby Wormhole, opening one connecting two Galaxies, and opening one connecting two different Universes are completely different matters.
“Decide among yourselves. Whatever choice, I support it.” Welt didn’t want to influence their decision.
“Of course close it. Maybe closing this one makes the planet safe?” March 7th said without hesitation.
“Impossible. The Wormholes opened by the Death God in the Chiwu Star System aren’t just this one. I don’t know how many are hidden. They’ve long targeted Earth. Closing one Wormhole won’t affect the outcome.”
“Moreover, the Death God’s Great Worm Bridge Technology isn’t that easy to close. Either use at least stellar-level Energy impact, or obtain Great Worm Bridge permissions. The Great Worm Bridge is backed by the Great Clock, a Celestial Computer no less than our Angels’ Sacred Knowledge Treasury. Anyway, neither method is something I can do.” Yan said discouragingly.
At least stellar-level Energy impact?
Welt glanced sideways. Why did he feel like any one of his Quasi Black Holes could destroy it? Was the Energy Utilization Rate in this world that low?
“Why don’t we just go through the Wormhole and beat them directly? Beat that Death God and make him stop the Invasion.” Xing suggested.
“Good idea. Saves Dan Heng from driving the Train. Let’s insert the Realm Anchor first. It’ll definitely surprise Dan Heng and the others.” March 7th’s eyes lit up, then she hesitated: “But, everyone knows the Death God is Invading Earth, but they haven’t actually made a move yet. If we go and beat them without a word, isn’t that a bit unreasonable?”
“So what? Didn’t I introduce the Styx Civilization before? They think offering Death as Sacrifice is just a bit better than our Destruction Legion there. We can’t beat Destruction Star God Nanook, but can’t we beat a Death God Karl? Beating such an Evil God is going easy. If he doesn’t repent, just make him disappear.” Meng Huaifeng said with murderous intent.
“Make him disappear.” Xing swung her Baseball Bat and repeated.
“True enough, but still feels a bit embarrassing.” March 7th scratched her head. Proactively going to someone’s door like this—she really hadn’t done it much.
“I say, are you underestimating Death God Karl too much? Though I haven’t heard of him acting personally, he has several Third Generation Gods under him alone. He himself shouldn’t be weaker than the Demon Queen.” Yan couldn’t help saying.
Such a Civilization’s Main God isn’t easy to deal with. Even if the Angel Civilization acted, there would likely be heavy casualties.
You only have so few people. Are you really opponents for Death God Karl?
Meng Huaifeng glanced at Welt. If Uncle Yang went all out, he could definitely win.
However, Death God Karl was so insidious, who knows what tricks he had hidden. With this world’s tech level, it was possible to burst out Envoy-level Lethality. Not impossible to capsize.
“How about this: Leave the Wormhole for now. Wait for Dan Heng to bring the Train to the Styx Galaxy. Then with Dan Heng, we’ll go talk to the Death God. How’s that?” Meng Huaifeng said.
March 7th and Xing both agreed.
“Good decision.” Welt nodded in satisfaction: “However, we can’t overly protect Earth and solve all Crises. Giving fish is not as good as teaching to fish. Our help is temporary. What if alien Civilizations Invade Earth after we leave? Earth itself needs to grow to have self-protection ability.”
In other words, Earth still needs to feel some Sense of Crisis to progress and grow with self-preservation capability.
That way, if the Taotie really Invade Earth, they could go make trouble with righteous reason.
“I think staying under Angels’ wings forever is pretty good.” Yan voiced a different opinion.
Angel Nebula.
“Old fairy, how’s the analysis?” Kaisa asked via comms.
“Lacking relevant Information. Parsing progress nearly stalled. Confirmed not from Known Universe tech Systems, including Void. Micro Wormhole Transport Technology requires deconstructing matter molecules into Quantum State to traverse Wormhole then reassemble, needing massive Computing Power and Energy Consumption. But their Teleportation Technology doesn’t need to deconstruct molecules at all. Yan was Teleported directly. And that kid’s Warp Jump to Yan’s side in the previous battle was another Teleportation Technology, also without deconstructing the body.”
“The two sides’ tech aren’t on the same level. Or rather, this isn’t tech at all, but Metaphysics. Also, his Weapon form freely shifts between virtual and real. Per my initial analysis, it’s a editing method similar to Divine Language. Though he seems to only grasp superficial knowledge, it precisely shows lower Computing Power demand and Energy Consumption than Divine Language, with stronger Interference on Reality.” Huxi spoke at length.
“So, we’re completely Backward to them?” Kaisa frowned.
“Not necessarily. From the abilities they’ve shown so far, their tech combines with unknown things like primitive societies’ imagined Cultivation. If we learn it too, Micro Wormhole Transport Technology aside, Divine Language would definitely undergo qualitative change.” Huxi said.
“Should we be glad the ones from Unknown Universe are kind and lawful?” Kaisa smiled self-mockingly. Earlier she was full of confidence she could suppress them.
Suppressing the Universe for so long, it seemed not just ordinary Angels, even she had unknowingly grown arrogant.
“Tomboy, when the Stellar Train’s Nameless arrive at Angel Nebula, I hope to welcome them with you.” Huxi said eagerly. She had too many Questions needing answers.
“I would’ve called you anyway, old fairy.”
……
After discussing the Wormhole issue, Meng Huaifeng Teleported again, bringing everyone back to the Villa they rented.
Everyone found a Room. Yan also stayed here. After cleaning up, it was already dark.
March 7th dragged everyone to the Night Market. After returning, she and Xing explored this world’s native Games.
Late at night, Meng Huaifeng looked at the big chrysanthemum in the sky through the window and directly connected the Signal.
Angel Civilization’s Network was hard to invade continuously, but Evil God’s had no scruples.
Evil Gods aren’t people. No human rights.
Attempting to seize Great Worm Bridge permissions, a Firewall blocked Meng Huaifeng.
The Firewall’s Strength was unexpectedly not high. As Meng Huaifeng was about to crack it, another Firewall took over the Great Worm Bridge’s Information defense.
This time’s Strength was slightly stronger than the Angel Network defense on Yan. This was right—this was the Great Clock?
In other words, Death God Karl had noticed him.
Meng Huaifeng didn’t care, just kept invading. Even if unsuccessful, it could improve his tech.
Learning alone slowly, how could it compare to practical combat improvement?
Thanks to Death God Karl’s Great Clock for sparring.
Styx Civilization. The Death God slightly raised his head, revealing a handsome face under the hood’s shadow.
“What person dares probe the Great Clock? Let me see what you’re capable of.”
Karl said gently. The voice didn’t sound like an Evil God at all. He controlled the Great Clock to counter-invade Meng Huaifeng.
Meng Huaifeng got serious, even summoning Virtual Keyboard and screen, going all out to resist the Invasion. Yet he retreated step by step.
Great Clock—even if not matching the Scepter made by Rupert II—isn’t far off. Silver Wolf could succeed with some time. Meng Huaifeng was still far behind.
Seeing he couldn’t hold out, Meng Huaifeng fully dispersed his Mobile Phone Martial Spirit. The Information source completely vanished.
He couldn’t invade the Great Clock, but the Great Clock couldn’t track him either. Forget Great Clock—Silver Wolf said as long as he temporarily disperses Mobile Phone Martial Spirit, even she couldn’t track him.
Without a target, Karl unwillingly controlled the Great Clock to access Earth’s entire Dark Plane, trying to find the existence that invaded him earlier.
However, the prepared Meng Huaifeng had hidden their Information. If face-to-face, Karl might detect. This aimless remote search access couldn’t find them.
But Karl didn’t gain nothing. He discovered the anomaly caused by Stellar Train’s appearance that day.
“Other unknown forces have descended on Earth too? Getting more chaotic. Angels, can you still suppress this time?” Karl gave up the search.
“What a thrilling battle.” Meng Huaifeng fell asleep.
The next few days, daytime sightseeing at various famous landmarks and scenic mountains and waters on this planet.
Famous landmarks undoubtedly one of the best channels to understand a planet’s human history.
Scenic mountains and waters, one channel to understand this planet’s environment and landforms.
Evenings, Meng Huaifeng engaged in Information offense-defense with Great Clock. When couldn’t hold, directly vanish, ensuring no tracking.
In the intense Information offense-defense, Meng Huaifeng’s Hacker Technology improved rapidly, sustaining longer and longer.
Gradually, Karl seemed to give up tracking Meng Huaifeng, ignoring the Invasions and just defending with Firewalls.
Meng Huaifeng slowly cracked the Firewalls, gaining a few points progress daily, but tech improvement slowed compared to before, leaving Meng Huaifeng regretful.
This day, the Train Crew was touring a scenic spot abroad.
“Such a big gap, how does the tour guide have the face to say a needle can’t fit?” March 7th complained while taking photos.
“Boasting. Exaggerating ancient history is normal. Don’t mind.” Meng Huaifeng was used to it.
“So still need Huai Feng to explain the real history. Stuff online and from others isn’t reliable.” March 7th said helplessly.
“Let me check first.” Meng Huaifeng directly searched the true history recorded among all things here.
Meng Huaifeng’s brow twitched slightly.
“What? Not another fake, right?” March 7th widened her eyes.
“It really is… This ancient site was built by people over two hundred years ago. Before that, just a sandy area, nothing. Not from over two thousand years ago.” Meng Huaifeng said speechlessly.
“This lady is done. Can’t they learn from that Country to be more real, make fewer fakes? Half the famous attractions in these Countries are fake! Pisses this lady off.” March 7th wanted to delete the earlier photos.
“Not used to it yet? I’m used to it. Better go to primitive forests to see small Animals.” Meng Huaifeng shrugged.
“We’re here already. So what’s the real history here?” March 7th sighed.
“Hm?” Welt suddenly looked at the Wormhole in the sky.
“What, Uncle Yang?” Meng Huaifeng asked.
“Something’s coming out.” Welt frowned.
“Earth starting to be Invaded? Let’s go check. This fake ancient site can be skipped.” March 7th instantly changed mind.
“Art of Heavenly Inquiry!”
Meng Huaifeng activated the bootleg Art of Heavenly Inquiry, quickly finding Information on the entity descending to Earth.
“It’s the vanguard of Taotie Civilization under Death God, descended to Ju Xia City.” Meng Huaifeng said. Seems the plot hasn’t changed for now.
“Ah? Isn’t that where we’re staying? So coincidental?” March 7th said surprised.
“Coincidental what? We’re bound to appear near the Protagonist, and troubles appearing near Protagonist is normal, right? Let’s go.” Meng Huaifeng called back the wandered-off Xing and instantly Teleported back to Ju Xia City.
Ju Xia City City Center. Several fully armed Taotie Warriors were on a killing spree.
Powerful Weapon Equipment easily blasted big holes in buildings. Vehicles exploded instantly. Countless pedestrians screamed and fled.
“Hey, is this the police? There are several terrorists on a killing spree here. They have Weapons. Save me quick…” Someone called to report.
Countless Police Cars wailed sirens rushing to City Center. The Military Base always monitoring Ju Xia City detected anomaly first. Several armed Helicopters took off.
This chapter was tough to write.
Original timeline very vague. I stretched the time a bit. Qilin reports a few days after Ge Xiaolun enrolls.
