Although she was somewhat prepared for these words, Angel Yan still subconsciously frowned.
Looking at his indifferent gaze, she could only sigh softly.
The more time passes, the more she understands the meaning behind every action Wang Ji has taken along the way, as well as his strong self-confidence and clear judgment.
Although Queen Keisha has fallen, this seems to be one of the closest the angels have to eliminate Morgana.
Because Morgana is currently in Wang Ji's hands, cut in two, she certainly cannot reunite, and is being obediently suppressed.
As long as Wang Ji can hand Morgana over to their angels, figuring out a way to eliminate her won't be too difficult.
But... his refusal was very firm, without the slightest hesitation.
For the angels, eliminating the demon queen Morgana was almost the most important thing, but for Wang Ji, it was not something he was in a hurry to do.
He is not an angel.
He is not a member of the angels.
In his hands, Morgana was merely a crucial bargaining chip and leverage to control the situation, not a sworn enemy he was determined to eliminate at all costs.
Talking to him about the universe, justice, the big picture, and standing at the height of the universe is useless.
"I'm so angry my stomach hurts..."
After a long silence, she snorted, half annoyed and half amused.
She covered her wound and glared at him, almost like she was being coquettish...
Wang Ji ignored it; he already had a guardian angel.
"Your injuries are so severe, won't it affect your ability to have children in the future?" He glanced at Angel Yan's wounds and smiled faintly.
The wound was on the abdomen, deep enough to reach the bone, meaning it affected the stomach, intestines, and even the spine. However, because the divine body was strong, it didn't leak out easily.
The large, bloody, dark gash was slashed by the Void Engine Greatsword and won't heal quickly.
To put it bluntly, if Wang Ji were to cause trouble now, he could pull out a whole piece of meat from that mess.
"Get lost..." Angel Yan glared at him sideways.
"Don't be angry. If you're really capable, go catch it yourself in the future. Don't even think about what I have." Wang Ji leisurely took out a teapot and teacups and said casually.
Things in the world are not always black and white, nor can everything be resolved quickly. In the case of Morgana, he could arrest her, but he couldn't kill her.
That's just how frustrating things are.
The logic is simple: if he kills Morgana, then Demon One will turn around and destroy Earth together, and all life on Earth will be wiped out, without a doubt.
Qi Lin and the others can escape, but can ordinary people escape?
So, is it possible that he might do it?
Of course not.
Moreover, this would also put Reina's life in great danger, with a probability of over 90%.
Perhaps for the angels, or even for all life in the universe, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to kill Morgana.
Defeating Morgana would at most destroy one Earth, and perhaps add a goddess like Lena, but the entire universe would instantly become peaceful, and countless worlds would no longer suffer devastation. It would be a blessing for the entire universe.
Moreover, with Wang Ji's current perspective, how could he not understand this principle, the principle of sacrificing the small to save the big, the principle of sacrificing one family to benefit all families?
But... ugh!
What does this have to do with him? Everyone has their own beliefs, and his belief has always been simple: to help more people on Earth live better lives. This is his mission as an unqualified soldier.
Protecting his loved ones and his home is also his unwavering responsibility.
The greater good of the universe is righteousness, and so is his righteousness towards his family and country.
He never tied himself to any war machine, wasn't it so that no one could influence his judgment at crucial moments?
"If Morgana were so easy to catch, she wouldn't be in this situation today. Who has the ability of Your Majesty, the Heavenly King..." Angel Yan muttered to herself.
Actually, she felt that Morgana's loss was not unjust, nor was it due to carelessness; the main reason was that no one knew how formidable Wang Ji was.
Wang Ji won because no one knew how capable he was.
Anyone who knows this, even if it's not targeted, will just run away.
"Before, you were the one begging for tea from Queen Keisha, but now times have changed, and it's me, the next Angel King, begging for tea from you..." She frowned as she watched Wang Ji slurp his tea, and then reached out her hand matter-of-factly: "Trying to eat alone?"
Wang Ji waved his hand dismissively: "Your intestines are leaking out, what are you drinking tea for?"
Angel Yan: "..."
"Are you going to be the next King of Angels?" Wang Ji sipped his tea, glancing at her casually. "I can't believe it."
"The Holy Left Wing, the first in line to succeed the Supreme Commander of the Angelic Legion in emergencies, and concurrently the Acting Angel Queen." Angel Yan glanced at him sideways: "What? Doesn't seem like it?"
"I thought it would be my Hexi," Wang Ji said nonchalantly. "I didn't expect that saving you would be in vain, and my little dream would be shattered."
“Your He Xi…” Angel Yan snorted softly upon hearing this, turned her head away, and her eyes flickered.
"Or I could just help her take you out now, without anyone noticing, and pretend the Void Engine didn't work." He looked relaxed and carefree, a far cry from his previous anxious demeanor.
In fact, he really doesn't need to rush now.
This must be the most relaxed moment of his life.
Angel Yan stared blankly at him: "Come on, do it."
She even paused her treatment for her injuries, seemingly resigned to her fate.
"You're too proactive; it's made me lose interest," Wang Ji said, shaking his head.
As he spoke, he sent another beam of golden light into the Haotian Tower.
