Angel Yan shot Kei Yamanaka a playful glare, her beautiful eyes flashing with teasing amusement at his cheeky expression.
At Queen Guy's command,
she connected Kei Yamanaka to the Sacred Knowledge Treasury via the portal to her dark dimension.
Guy also granted him top-level access for reading and downloading information.
Compared to Kamar-Taj's magical system, the Sacred Knowledge Treasury might lack the same vertical reach—its limitations stemming from its inability to transcend dimensions.
Yet in terms of breadth, it surpassed even magic systems, containing nearly all known data across the Superman Universe.
As the Quantum Engine initiated continuous downloads of that data,
the only thing Kei Yamanaka had yet to obtain was Shinigami Kal's Illusionary Body!
Sacred Atom... Stronger than I expected.
Kei Yamanaka scanned through the information about Guy's Sacred Body, a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes.
Initially, he had assumed Guy's Sacred Body was merely an advanced version of the Third-Generation Divine Body, further enhancing cellular genetic structure and increasing energy limits.
But according to records within the Sacred Knowledge Treasury,
the sacred atoms composing the Sacred Body already represented the ultimate fusion of Void technology and superior genetic engineering.
Compared to the Fourth-Generation Divine Bodies—which combined Third-Generation Super Warrior Genes with Secondary Biological Engines to achieve instantaneous cell regeneration and near-immortality—
Guy's Sacred Body could now partially resist basic Void abilities,
such as the Angelic Gene Strike ability attached to Void Engines,
which was completely ineffective against her!
This basically meant that without compromising biological life characteristics, it had reached the current technological limit!
Angels...
Kei Yamanaka sighed inwardly.
Hexi and Guy's research capabilities were actually no worse than Kal's.
But angels always maintained their own bottom line. Even while researching and using Void abilities, they only sought to enhance themselves.
Kal, on the other hand, respected nothing.
He sought not just self-actualization, but total annihilation of his enemies—showing no reverence for life whatsoever.
Thus, what the angels developed was the Sacred Body—preserving biological life traits—and the Secondary Biological Engine;
what Kal created, however, was the inhuman Illusionary Body and the Void Engine, designed solely for annihilating enemies.
That essentially marked the fundamental difference between Guy and Kal in ideology.
Qiankun, use the Quantum Engine, Sacred Body, and Second Biological Engine as your foundation—reverse-engineer Kal's Void Engine tech.
Kei Yamanaka mentally instructed Qiankun.
His Quantum Engine came entirely from the System's Keyword Copy and skill-list fusion effects—it gave him the "how," but not the deeper "why."
Now that he'd acquired the structural logic and basics of the Sacred Body and Secondary Biological Engine from the Sacred Knowledge Treasury, he was fully capable of quickly deducing how to build a first-tier Void Engine.
Theoretically speaking, crafting a Secondary Biological Engine without incorporating the Third-Generation Super Warrior Genes
would require only 1.5 planetary energy units for Kei Yamanaka to complete.
The Void Engine is essentially comparable to it in terms of power level.
Energy consumption should be roughly similar!
As for the void particles required to create these things,
according to original records from the storyline and Sacred Knowledge Treasury, this is a material formed by the interaction of stellar drive technology with black holes over many years—an entity beyond the scientific understanding of its time.
But in reality, it was simply a crystallized form of special conceptual force created when energy surpassing the realm's tolerance threshold impacted it.
In essence, it's roughly equivalent to items like the Time Stone or Reality Stone in the Marvel universe.
Of course, in terms of quality and rank, it's infinitely weaker.
In actual engine manufacturing, void particles only serve as a "catalyst."
According to simulations from the Quantum Engine,
Kei Yamanaka could fully substitute them with items containing conceptual force.
For instance, the Eternal Spear Gungnir imbued with Guaranteed Hit and Oath concepts, which he copied using his Concept Duplication ability.
And for him, anything that can be copied
is effectively limitless!
——————
Under the night sky, the Male Soldiers' Squad was going all out, enjoying themselves,
eating through nearly ninety percent of the barbecue shop's inventory!
As genetically enhanced warriors,
their genes had just been activated, so they needed to take in massive amounts of energy.
Ordinary food barely reached their stomachs before being completely digested. Feeling truly full wasn't easy at all.
After this long-awaited moment of relaxation, it was already past midnight.
As for the villagers who had fled Huang Village with their families when Demon Unit One appeared, soldiers had gradually arrived to escort them back.
Although neither Kei Yamanaka nor the angels had shown hostility toward the Male Soldiers' Squad or Blue Planet,
the sudden appearance of Queen Demon Morgan here meant higher-ups wouldn't ignore this place—they'd definitely conduct monitoring and inspections.
Seeing everyone was satisfied,
Kei Yamanaka, who had also completed the simulation for Void Engine technology, turned his head toward Rose.
He waved his hand, tossing her a gold bar hidden beneath the pile of dishes.
"Your people took the barbecue shop owner away. Help me settle the bill later."
"Are you gods always this generous?"
Du Qiangwei tossed the nearly one-kilogram gold bar in her hand.
This year's gold price on Blue Planet was approximately 280 credits per gram.
Spending two hundred and eighty thousand credits on a single barbecue dinner—absurdly generous!
"Gold is ultimately just a form of matter. When you can control basic elemental manipulation, it's no different from any other element," said Kei Yamanaka, pausing mid-sentence as he looked up in mild surprise at the night sky.
Angel Yan, noticing his reaction,
immediately had her eyes glow white, likewise turning her gaze to the horizon.
Under the dark energy scan of the Omniscient Analytical Vision, she immediately detected the small alien fleet emerging from wormholes outside Blue Planet's atmosphere—vanguards from the Giant Wolf and Tao Tie civilizations, heading directly toward them.
"Shinigami Kal has accelerated his actions. Target... seems to be us?" Angel Yan's eyes narrowed.
Queen Guy had long realized there was a connection between Shinigami Kal and Morgan.
Even now, the two were likely plotting something unknown to her.
But under the protection of the Great Clock, even the Sacred Knowledge Treasury couldn't uncover Kal-El's plans.
"After all," Kei Yamanaka smirked, "her beloved is missing. It's normal to be anxious."
Beside him, Reina and Rose reacted immediately to the conversation, signaling everyone to gear up in Black Armor, prepare for battle, and report the situation to Male Soldiers' HQ.
Rin clutched her sniper rifle tightly while Mengmeng kept swallowing hard.
As for Ge Xiaolun, Zhao Xin, Cheng Yaowen, and Liu Chuan—who had never seen real combat—they followed the Superman Institute's breathing techniques to calm their nerves.
"Hey, stud, how many enemy warships are we dealing with? Troop count too?"
Reina planted a hand on her hip and tilted her head toward the horizon.
Even before she unlocked the Gene Lock, she hadn't feared the Tao Tie or Giant Wolf civilizations—now with the Gene Lock Controller, those guys weren't worth the sweat.
"Four mid-tier warships, seven escorts. 372 lifeforms registered."
"Want to do me a favor?"
"A favor? What's in it for me?"
Kei raised an eyebrow as he turned toward Reina.
"How's this for starters?"
Reina lifted her visor, leaned in, and planted a soft kiss on Kei's cheek.
The entire Male Soldiers' Squad gawked in disbelief.
Even Angel Yan, seated across from Kei, raised an eyebrow in amusement.
This little girl…
Didn't she fear falling into the classic trap—like sending a steamed bun to fetch a dog, never to get it back?
"Let's hear what you need first. I'll decide if it's worth it."
Kei felt the soft touch linger slightly on his cheek, lifting his mood considerably.
See?
He was, after all, a Dimensional Demon God blessed with the Purple-Tier Trait: [A Strong One Doesn't Fall to the Cleaver].
Of course, goddesses would fall head over heels for him!
"The Demigod Trial! Real Mode, two-player teams! I want four rounds!"
"Not bad. Manageable enough."
"Hehehe~ Stud, you've got some serious torment skills, huh?"
"What exactly do you have in mind?"
"I'll pair Zhao Xin and me together, Rose and Ge Xiaolun, Cheng Yaowen and Mengmeng, and Liu Chuan with Rin. If anyone slacks off or backs down, hope you don't mind dishing out a little… discipline."
"That's doable."
Kei's eyes gleamed with mischief as he glanced at the rest of the Male Soldiers' Squad.
Ge Xiaolun instinctively shielded his crotch.
Zhao Xin scrambled behind Ge Xiaolun.
Liu Chuan, Cheng Yaowen, and the others suddenly felt even more tense than before.
You've gotta be kidding me!
It used to be about living or dying—but now even surviving might mean suffering!
