Ge Xiaolun seems to have been implanted with some kind of special data by He Xi, making him obedient to Angel Yan and even the entire Angel Civilization.
Seeing that Angel Yan was encountering setbacks, he quickly came out to find an excuse for her.
"Hehe, no need for further words, defeat is defeat."
Angel Yan smiled sadly; she understood.
Even without Lu Renjia's appearance, the angel legion she led was no match for the combined forces of demons and scum.
Failure is like the Sword of Damocles hanging over one's head; it's only a matter of time.
"Sister Yan, now is not the time to talk about this. I have activated the defense system, but we must be wary of Lu Renjia's sudden attack."
After taking over He Xi's celestial computer cluster, Angel Zhi Xin shouldered the important responsibility of protecting the Heavenly Court of Merlo.
"Sister Yan, you need to ask those retired angel seniors for help. I'm afraid no one but you can get them to help," Angel Zhixin suggested.
However, upon hearing this suggestion, Angel Yan felt even more self-deprecating.
If those old angels truly recognized her as the Queen of Angels, why would they choose to retire?
Moreover, they already knew the fate of the young angel legion; under her leadership, they were all wiped out.
Even her sacred wings, those of the Angel Queen, perished in that brutal war.
So what if we have a secondary biological engine?
Faced with those terrifying methods that can directly attack the soul, the secondary biological engine appears utterly fragile.
Ge Xiaolun, understanding Angel Yan's thoughts, advised, "Now is a critical moment for the survival of the Heavenly Court of Merlo. Even if they do not approve of you, they will not stand by and watch the Heavenly Court perish."
"Now is not the time to worry about saving face. Preserving the Angel Civilization and the Heavenly Court of Merlo are the most urgent tasks."
Angel Yan took a deep breath and nodded heavily, knowing that there was no room for hesitation at this moment.
She immediately decided to convene a general meeting, a privilege reserved for the King of Angels, and even if the old angels harbored resentment towards her, they had to obey this order.
Before long, the plaza of the Heavenly Court of Merlo was packed with angels.
The angels were clearly divided into two camps: one side consisted of young angels, full of vigor yet also showing some naivety and panic;
On the other side were the older generation of angels, their expressions calm yet revealing a hint of detachment and indifference.
Angel Yan felt a surge of helplessness as she looked at the scene before her.
She knew what the old angels were thinking, but since things had come to this point, she had no other choice but to hope that they would lend a helping hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, due to my flawed decision, the new angelic legion has been completely annihilated. I know my sins are unforgivable, but now the enemy is coming on strong, and the Heavenly Court of Merlo is in grave danger."
Angel Yan's gaze was fixed on the old angels' camp, her expression solemn and earnest. "I implore you all to lend a hand and help the Heavenly Court of Merlo overcome this crisis."
The old angels' camp immediately stirred up a commotion; clearly, they were unwilling to follow Angel Yan's orders.
After all, they have already retired, and even the King of Angels has no right to order them around at will.
Angel Yan was prepared for this. She bowed deeply to the old angels, her tone full of sincerity and self-reproach.
“I know that you all have a lot of opinions about me, and I have indeed let you down and disappointed you time and time again.”
"Here, I solemnly promise you all that as long as the Heavenly Court of Merlo can overcome this crisis, I will abdicate the throne of the Angel King and, in accordance with Queen Keisha's last wish, pass the throne to Crown Prince Anishid of Fraser."
As soon as he finished speaking, the square erupted in an uproar.
Angels Zhixin and Ge Xiaolun never expected that Angel Yan would offer to give up the throne of the Angel King in exchange for the help of the old angels.
Actually, Angel Yan has another deeper meaning.
She knew her own abilities were limited, and if someone could lead the angels to a more glorious future, she was willing to help.
The young angels were speechless with astonishment. They never expected that Angel Yan would so resolutely give up her supreme position.
Upon hearing this, the old angels couldn't help but look at Angel Yan with newfound respect.
Although she may lack some abilities, her self-awareness is commendable.
If she continues to covet power, the old angels will absolutely not lend a hand.
Even if the Heavenly Court of Merlo is destroyed, it will never waver.
Their loyalty is to the Holy Keisha, not to the angelic civilization, much less to the angel Yan.
After a discussion, the old angels weighed the pros and cons.
Angel Yan remained bowed, quietly awaiting the old angels' response.
A few minutes later, a representative from the old angel camp slowly walked out.
“Angel Yan, we can help, but you must remember what you just said. It’s not that we’re targeting you, but you simply cannot lead the angels to a higher realm.”
Angel Yan straightened up, a hint of loneliness flashing in her eyes, but she nodded with unwavering determination.
“I understand, I am just a warrior. The Heavenly King also taught me to see things with the eyes of a ‘god,’ but I have never been able to grasp it.”
Perhaps I am truly not cut out to be a supreme god, but the prosperity of angelic civilization is also my heart's desire.
How could Angel Yan not have any longing for the throne of the King of Angels?
She had to make this choice for the sake of the future of the Angelic Civilization.
"Understood. From now on, we will follow your orders and work together to protect the Heavenly Court of Merlo and overcome this crisis."
After the old angel finished speaking, he turned and returned to the queue, waiting for orders with a solemn expression.
Angel Yan breathed a sigh of relief. With the addition of the older generation of angels, the angel civilization could finally be considered complete.
Even with the loss of a young angel legion, the angel civilization remains the most powerful legion in the known universe.
Although the beast warrior legion under Death God Karl was strong, it ultimately could not defeat the angel legion composed of the older generation of angels.
Although they have retired, they still possess everything that young angels had.
His combat experience and vision far surpass those of the young angels.
Soon, with the angels' heartfelt deployment, each angel received their assigned task.
The next day, Lu Renjia woke up.
Next, it's time to put the plan to conquer the universe on the agenda.
"Who should we start with? An angel? A demon? Or the River Styx?!"
There are still three angels left: Angel Yan, Angel Zhixin, and Ge Xiaolun. Moreover, the older generation of angels have not suffered much loss, making them a tough nut to crack.
Although only Death God Karl could see through the Styx civilization, he was an illusion with many tricks up his sleeve, making him very difficult to kill.
So there's only one target left: the demon.
Among the demons, only Morgana is passable; the rest are just minor demons and not worth worrying about at all.
"Then it's you, Morgana. Hopefully you'll put up a fight, otherwise it'll be too boring."
