Kei Yamanaka noticed Reina's eyes darting toward the barbecue stall behind him. She tried hard to keep her face serious, but the corners of his mouth twitched upward in a faint smile.
As one of the Three Divine Projects—the Light of the Sun—Reina possessed an indomitable divine body and the ability to channel solar energy.
From birth, she had been designated as the next Primordial God of Lieyang Star.
The harsh memories of Lieyang's past were not transferred to this twenty-three-year-old girl. This young goddess, who had never faced the brutal truths of the universe's shadowed forces, remained pure and naïve.
When confronting Regent Lord Panzhen, she was a slightly rebellious girl; against enemies, she was the unwavering Light of the Sun who would fight till the very end; with comrades, she was a dependable ally who had your six.
She always showed the utmost kindness to others.
There was even a certain clumsy charm about her.
But…
She had terrible luck!
Honestly, what rotten luck!
Because of Regent Lord Panzhen's mistake years ago, when she came to Superman Institute for support, she was constantly belittled by Monkey.
Just when she'd finally built sincere camaraderie with Male Soldiers' Squad, Morgan used her to destroy their flagship, the Great Canyon.
Ashamed before her comrades, she wandered off into exile—only to be captured and used by Shinigami Kal, ultimately leading to the demise of Angel King Guy.
This cheerful young goddess, so full of laughter and playfulness,
After all these tragedies, no longer smiled.
Yet was all of that… really just bad luck?
Kei smirked inwardly.
Endowed with immense power as the Light of the Sun—one of the Three Divine Projects—she still had most of her abilities sealed due to the previous Solar Deity's mistake and final decision. Authority over those powers was transferred to the Elder Council and Regent Lord Panzhen, leaving Reina only with basic capabilities.
She couldn't wield them herself, but her enemies could unlock and use them.
Of course she became a target.
Bang! Clang!
The dormitory door behind Ge Xiaolun and others was kicked open by Liu Chuan, wearing black battle armor and wielding a god-slaying axe.
Du Qiangwei, Rui Mengmeng, and Rin stood at the ready on either side, armed and prepared.
But upon witnessing the scene inside,
Liu Chuan scratched his head in confusion and turned to Du Qiangwei beside him.
"Hey, Sis Rose, looks like they're not about to start a fight or anything."
"…I don't know either."
Du Qiangwei shrugged. She'd simply rushed over after hearing Reina yell, "Enemy attack—call everyone!"
She had no clue what had actually happened.
Pushing past Liu Chuan and brushing aside the blocking figures of Ge Xiaolun and Zhao Xin,
Du Qiangwei stepped forward to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Reina, facing Kei and the others beyond the spatial gate.
"Reina, what the hell is going on?"
"Ah~ Well, hey you two—angel lady and handsome guy—where are you from, and what do you plan to do?"
Reina blinked, suddenly realizing she hadn't even asked what they were there for.
She quickly straightened up, trying to play the role of the experienced leader of the Male Soldiers' Squad.
Only, that subtle motion of nervously gulping might have deceived Ge Xiaolun and Zhao Xin,
But not someone far superior to her—like Kei Yamanaka.
"Why don't we get some barbecue and chat over food?"
Kei Yamanaka glanced at the first batch of Male Soldiers' Squad warriors who had arrived and pointed his right thumb toward a nearby barbecue stall.
"You're buying?"
As Reina finished speaking, Du Qiangwei poked her in the small of her back.
Suddenly aware that her words might damage her goddess-like image, she hastily cleared her throat and added,
"Hmm, then let me see what your real intentions are."
With those words, Reina marched through the spatial gateway.
Beside her, Du Qiangwei's eyes twitched with frustration—was that really what she meant?
She clearly wanted Reina to take things seriously!
Not just focused on food!
First, figure out the purpose of these strangers who suddenly showed up on the Blue Planet and even opened wormholes within the Superman Institute.
Yet here she was, rephrasing things slightly and charging in headfirst anyway?
As Du Qiangwei wondered how to handle the current situation,
A voice crackled through the communicator built into her Black Armor.
"Reina, Qiangwei, there's been a massive space wormhole fluctuation and demonic presence detected in Huang Village, southwest region. We believe Morgan has arrived on the Blue Planet. Alert the Male Soldiers' Squad to prepare for battle."
"This is already Huang Village. Tell General Ducao we've already dealt with it."
Kei Yamanaka lifted his gaze toward Qiangwei.
He gestured toward Ge Xiaolun, Zhao Xin, and others who looked excited but hesitant amid the uncertainty.
"Bro, the big shot says we're invited too."
Ge Xiaolun swallowed hard and glanced at Zhao Xin beside him.
"What are we waiting for? BBQ and beers! Time to dig in!"
Zhao Xin all but skipped into the space-time portal.
"Chuan, coming over?"
Ge Xiaolun slung an arm around Cheng Yaowen's shoulders, calling to Liu Chuan and others behind him.
"Holy hell, bro, this is epic!"
Liu Chuan quickly stowed away his god-slaying axe, gave Kei Yamanaka a thumbs-up, and hurried into the spatial gateway.
Barbecue!
Since he'd arrived here, it had been nothing but nutrient meals every day!
The moment that lamb skewer scent hit his nose, he could barely suppress his drool!
Rin and Mengmeng glanced toward Rose beside them.
Seeing her slight nod after communicating with General Ducao, they followed in as well.
None of them powered down their Black Armor.
Clearly, General Ducao wasn't fully letting his guard down around these sudden angels and unfamiliar men.
"Yo, what's going on with this village? How come not even a single soul's around?"
Liu Chuan bolted straight to the barbecue grill, grabbed a fresh lamb skewer from the nearby table,
And began roasting it over the coals while scanning the area.
Reina, Ge Xiaolun, Zhao Xin, Qiangwei, and others couldn't help but turn their gazes toward Kei Yamanaka, waiting for clarification.
"The demon ships drove everyone away earlier. They'll come back once things settle down. No casualties."
"Dude, top-tier stuff!"
Zhao Xin cracked open another beer while throwing in some flattery.
Kei Yamanaka, Angel Yan, and Angel Zui shifted seats again, finding new spots to sit together.
Angel Zui, extremely observant, raised her hand and sent a pulse of dark energy information to Reina, the only one in the group who could manipulate dark energy effortlessly. The data contained everything that had just happened.
"Wow~ How should I address you, handsome?"
Reina transmitted the data back to the Superman Institute through her Black Armor while receiving the information. Her eyes lit up as she turned toward Kei Yamanaka.
Her database contained extensive knowledge about Morgan and Demon Unit One.
That demonic queen was a force as mighty as the Primordial Gods.
Even Panzhen would have to be cautious when facing her.
Yet this man before her had casually toyed with her as if she were nothing. What incredible strength!
The key point?
There wasn't even a single bit of information about him in her database!
"Dimensional Demon God, Zhongjing Shan, from Blue Planet in another realm."
"A realm beyond the dimensions of the known universe? Not just galaxies or planets?"
"Mm."
"Our Lieyang Star believes in peace and prosperity; angels embody Just Order. What do you believe in?"
"I believe in practically everything. There are no strict requirements in that area..."
"Then how do you govern your people?"
Kei Yamanaka paused briefly before roughly explaining the order and rules within the Ninja World, along with the current situation of Blue Planet in the Marvel multiverse.
Beside him, Angel Zui listened quietly, carefully recording every word spoken.
In contrast, Angel Yan's gaze carried a hint of surprise.
The angels' attempt to test this Dimensional Demon God mostly relied on indirect questions, gradually analyzing his personality, decision-making style, and belief systems.
But maybe the Light of the Sun's direct approach worked better than all that subtle probing?
Cute in innocence...
Hmm… Could sincerity truly be the ultimate weapon?
Resting her chin in one hand, Reina feigned a slight frown.
She still found being the goddess of Lieyang Star quite challenging.
How could the man across from her manage such a vast domain without becoming overwhelmed?
"Mr. Han, the Wuling Realm has a well-established warrior training system, which is acceptable, but regarding Blue Planet in that vast multiversal world where civilizations have yet to unify, relying solely on something called the 'Demigod Trials' to select warriors… wouldn't that be extremely stressful?"
Angel Yan's eyes showed genuine confusion, and unlike before, she abandoned roundabout questions, choosing instead to directly voice her concerns.
A vast multiversal world inevitably overflowed with various conflicts.
The man controlling this planet not only had to defend against invasions from other civilizations in this universe but also fight against demigods from different dimensions.
Yet governing a planet filled with numerous independent nations...
Would naturally make efficient cooperation difficult.
So why not unite all life forms on this planet into one cohesive force, pooling all available strength?
"Different cultures and ideologies give rise to more possibilities."
Kei Yamanaka replied casually.
He was about the same age as Reina in this life, and had only recently arrived in the Marvel Realm.
Even if he wanted to, how could he possibly be ready so soon?!
As for telling Angel Yan that he was only in his twenties?
Seriously? With her Jester personality, once they actually got to know each other, wouldn't she start calling him a little brat every single day?
"God, can you use the Demigod Trials here? Are there any strength restrictions?"
Reina poured a beer for Kei Yamanaka, her cheeks flushed with eager anticipation.
"Yes. Anyone weaker than me will be dragged into it... What are you planning?"
"Panzhen said he's coming to Blue Planet soon, hehehe~"
"..."
Kei Yamanaka looked at Reina, whose mind was already racing with plans to turn heaven and earth upside down just to show Panzhen up, and couldn't even begin to tease her properly.
