They successfully rescued Reina, but the enemy forces entrenched in Luoyang City could not be eliminated. After all, it was just Shasha and a still weakened Reina; how could two of them face the entire city's enemies?
The death of the stag allowed Naxie to take command of the support troops. He began dispatching assault teams to pursue Rosa and her companions, who had yet to reach North Star. After all, there would be numerous obstacles along the way to North Star, and Naxie's goal was to completely block them on their path.
"So the stag is dead?"
"Yes, my lord."
"Well, it doesn't matter. Since she has been sent back to Earth, it doesn't matter how it was done."
"Then the stag's actions were private?"
"You can interpret it as hatred or as an independent action. Since he failed, he must naturally accept the consequences."
"My lord, I have never understood why our beast forms fear these human shapes."
"Because in the physical war that occurred then, they were the victors. Otherwise, they would be like triangular forms, either us or them. The emergence of mechanization has made beast forms even stronger, and thanks to my lord Karl's shelter, we can now seek revenge!"
"So, can this be seen as the Second Physical War?"
"Perhaps."
"Understood, my lord."
"Naxie, you will take charge of this campaign in place of the stag. Soon, I will send someone to perform mechanization surgery for you!"
"It is an honor."
The conversation took place between Shi Ao and Naxie.
Having escaped from Luoyang City, Shasha brought Reina to a nearby forest. The pursuers behind them had been mostly dealt with, allowing Shasha to finally breathe a sigh of relief.
After leaning Reina against a tree, Shasha's gaze turned towards the direction where Rosa and the others had taken a detour.
"Are you worried? I think you should feel more at ease. After all, with Rosa as the tactical commander, along with Glen and Zhao Xin, the three of them can handle any issues that arise."
Hearing Reina's reassurance, Shasha sighed. "I'm just thinking that the enemies in Luoyang City have probably already mobilized."
Reina sighed in response. "There's nothing we can do about it. They should have considered this problem when they chose to take a detour. If they can't capture Luoyang City, they will inevitably face attacks from both sides."
"Let's hope they can make it through!" Shasha shook his head. He wasn't anyone's savior or reliance; people had to learn to help themselves and grow to the point of ignoring all difficulties.
"What about you? What will you do now? Can your power be restored?"
"I just need to reactivate the Sunlight that they temporarily sealed away."
After a moment of silence, Shasha suddenly asked a question. "What are your thoughts right now?"
"What do you mean?" Reina replied, somewhat knowingly. Even though she hid it well, the anger that constantly leaked through her emotions was palpable.
"Once your power is restored, what will you do?" Shasha couldn't be sure what Reina would do after regaining her strength. Perhaps she would seek to destroy Tao Tie; after all, being captured as the main deity of a constellation and subjected to research would leave anyone unwilling to let go of those who brought them humiliation.
This time, Reina remained silent for a long time before finally uttering something that left Shasha somewhat confused.
"I plan to find Morgana."
Now, Morgana has truly become the Queen in every sense. Although she has lost Feleze and Sword Demon Ato, she has found many agents in the human world, spreading her beliefs and bestowing eternal life, power, and status upon those willing to follow her through advanced genetic technology that has been ahead of Earth for millennia.
And what about humanity? Having witnessed the power of aliens, they began to seek faith and cooperation with Tao Tie.
Humans, it must be said, have an exceptional ability to adapt to their environment. Realizing they cannot completely drive away these extraterrestrials, they chose a path of survival, which undoubtedly sparked internal conflicts among themselves.
The former Mafia leader, who followed Morgana in North America, now commands the largest free armed force in Huaxia, controlling several cities near Beihe. His subordinates could be described with one phrase: worse than beasts.
One can refer to the scenarios in a post-apocalyptic world; aliens are not terrifying; what is terrifying is the distortion of human nature.
When all order collapses and morality loses its binding power, humanity embarks on a path of self-destruction.
Shasha did not understand why Reina wanted to find Morgana. Was it merely because she had become the Queen ruling several nations? No, what she valued was Morgana's original identity and the power she possessed.
Reina had changed, without a doubt. She once would never have considered cooperating with Morgana; perhaps anger and humiliation had matured her. Just like her younger self, she may not yet understand what being a true deity represents.
When Reina and Shasha found Morgana, the latter was meeting with the Secretary-General of NATO. The process was one of seduction; after all, humanity's hope for eternal life and superpower could be obtained by becoming a lapdog. I believe many would eagerly pursue such an opportunity.
"So, Sunlight, and you as well, what brings you to me?"
Wearing a crown, Morgana lazily propped her head on her hand as she leaned back on her throne and asked.
Reina looked at her and replied calmly, "I want to know your attitude toward Tao Tie."
"Oh? You're only now asking about my stance? Should I take that as a sign that you've finally matured?" Morgana chuckled mockingly. Before Reina could change her expression, she revealed her position, "My stance is simple: I support whoever recognizes me as Queen. Isn't that obvious?"
"Honestly, I don't really want to beg Pan Zhen, so you understand," Reina said casually as she flicked her nails.
"Trying to use Pan Zhen to pressure me? How amusing," Morgana laughed lightly. "As for Pan Zhen, I still can't afford to provoke her. But you'd better figure out what connection there is between Pan Zhen and Karl first."
Those words left Reina in silence, and Morgana's gaze shifted to Shasha. "Since you're here, why not speak?"
Shasha shrugged in response. "I still prefer your human form."
Morgana's eyes sparkled, and in the next moment, her body transformed into Liang Bing's appearance. "Like this?"
Shasha nodded. "You look much more pleasing like this."
Reina listened in silence, her expression growing increasingly strange as she observed the two.
