Swish~
Before Morgan could even get close—even though she no longer had wings—a spatial gateway crackling with golden sparks engulfed her body.
But this time,
Kei Yamanaka didn't choose to let her keep falling endlessly. Instead, he gave her a taste of [Milk of the Grave].
With the reinforcement of the Primordial Realm and the optimal algorithm calculated by the Quantum Engine,
the auxiliary effects linked to the [Milk of the Grave] ability
had reached intensities no sentient being could tolerate!
With no way to mute her senses or block neural feedback, not even Morgan could handle it—not even Guy, blessed with a Sacred Body, could endure it for more than a few moments before pleading for mercy.
"Let's go. Find a place to rest."
Kei Yamanaka took a step forward, and once again, a magical spatial portal flickered into existence, glowing with golden sparks.
On the other side of the portal was clearly a massive hotel.
"Magic really is convenient."
Angel Yan crossed through the magical portal and glanced at the early risers walking along the streets, oblivious to anything unusual. She continuously checked and compared the latest entries in the Sacred Knowledge Treasury.
The Sacred Knowledge Treasury had already analyzed the structure and composition of magical energy, as well as the basic construction principles of many low-level spells.
She wasn't nearly as clueless as she used to be.
This subtle technique was obviously a low-tier confusion spell.
"Everyone has their own strengths."
Kei Yamanaka's internal Quantum Engine connected directly to Earth's network.
Forged identities, activated credit cards, set up online banking accounts, bank transfers, check-in procedures...
All these formalities were completed smoothly without drawing attention, right before he stepped into the hotel lobby.
After receiving the room key from the front desk,
he politely turned down the staff's services.
Kei Yamanaka led Angel Yan and Angel Zui up to the presidential suite on the top floor.
The entire penthouse took up the top floor, its layout sprawling and luxurious. It included bedrooms, a living room, a study, a meeting hall, a gym, a guest lounge, and even a rooftop garden.
Once inside, Kei let Angel Yan and Angel Zui choose their own rooms.
With a wave of his hand, he casually released Morgan, who wore a look of total hopelessness.
As a pivotal figure in the main plot, Morgan also wielded significant influence over the world line.
Changing her fate would surely yield generous rewards.
Thud~
Morgan landed heavily on the carpet but couldn't even bother to move.
Her smoky eye makeup framed eyes dulled by exhaustion, her expression so hollow it looked like she'd truly lived too long to care anymore.
"Hey, stop faking it. It was just two minutes of light trauma—do you really need to act like this?"
Kei browsed through the wine cabinet for a while before pulling out a bottle with decent reviews in the dark data profile.
He turned around and looked at Morgan, who was still lying there motionless.
"It felt like I got slammed against a wall ten thousand times in those two minutes. You call that light trauma? Who's the demon here—you or me?" Morgan's curses were weak and listless, as if she'd already given up on everything.
But Kei Yamanaka knew better.
All of this was just her disguise.
The moment she emerged from the Spatial Teleportation Magic, she had already sent an encrypted dark energy signal to Demon Unit Two.
She instructed her subordinates not to act rashly. First, contact Shinigami Kal and let him come rescue her, while simultaneously transmitting all the intelligence she had gathered back to them.
Magical energy masked the faint, encrypted dark energy fluctuations.
Angel Yan and Angel Zui might not have noticed.
But this trick wouldn't escape Kei Yamanaka's perception.
After all, back when he was still hanging around in the ninja world, he often used similar methods to cover his own tracks.
After finishing the tour of the expansive suite,
Angel Yan sat with Angel Zui on a wicker chair by the window, admiring the morning sun cresting over the horizon.
Hearing Morgan's words, she gave a strange expression before glancing toward Kei Yamanaka, who was pouring alcohol.
This tactic... was truly demonic!
"Want some?"
Kei turned to face Angel Yan and Angel Zui.
"Thank you."
As soon as Angel Yan spoke,
Two glasses of red wine were already waiting on the small table in front of Yan and Zui.
"You really think ending up with Kal is better than being with me?"
Kei took a light sip of her wine, pursed her lips, then scowled in disgust before directly shifting the bottle onto Angel Yan's table.
She then grabbed two bottles of beer for herself from the liquor cabinet.
Although red wine appeared more refined, no matter how many times she tried it, she still couldn't get used to the taste.
"Damn! I hate smug rivals like you the most!"
Morgan caught on instantly after hearing that.
And the reason why she wasn't stopped?
Either her actions aligned perfectly with what the other wanted, or the other simply didn't care about Kal at all.
Thoughts raced through her mind.
Done pretending, Morgan rose from the floor.
She walked toward the bar counter, picked up the fourth glass of red wine Kei had poured earlier, then turned toward the bathroom.
No way to run now!
But don't even dream about her groveling like those pathetic prisoners desperate for mercy.
She was the Queen of Demons—free-spirited and unrestrained!
Not even death could shake her—let alone some petty torment and mockery!
Morgan shot Kei an angry glare before turning away.
Activating privacy mode as she removed her armor, she spoke again.
"Kal is a deadbeat bastard, but I still have value to him. He won't touch me until he gets what he wants. As for you... Hmph~"
"That makes sense."
Kei nodded slightly.
Kal planned to overthrow Guy's Just Order and plunge the Superman Universe completely into the Void Era.
From both personal feelings or practical interests, right now Kal would not only avoid harming Morgan, he'd even help her rise again.
As in the original storyline, Kal would provide her with the technology and resources needed to enhance into the Fourth-Generation Divine Body.
Morgan: "That makes sense."
Kei: "Of course it does—bullshit! I practically handed everything to you on a silver platter!"
"What do you want from me? Just say it already!"
Morgan's voice came again, clearly frustrated.
Wouldn't a normal person just come out and say what they want after hearing something like that?
You're not going to kill me, so are you just going to keep holding me here?
If it's about wanting me physically, even when you used dark energy to completely seal off the bathroom, you didn't react at all.
And if it's about demon tech, you've already taken everything, right?
So what the hell do you want from me?!
What could it possibly be?!
Don't tell me… you think I'm just some kind of plaything?!
"To change your fate. Isn't that a good enough reason?"
"The Deva Path? Like the one Space Principal mastered? Have you really reached that level?"
"We walk different paths, but if you put us side by side, I'm a bit stronger than him."
Kei Yamanaka sat down on the sofa with a can of beer in hand.
Morgan's understanding of fate clearly surpassed Angel Yan's by quite a bit.
Her first thought was naturally the Deva Path—the force capable of surpassing even the predictions of the celestial computer.
"So… What exactly is my fate?"
Morgan was clearly intrigued.
As one of Space Principal's most favored disciples, she'd once participated in his research herself.
But she never expected this random stranger to claim he was stronger than Space Principal!
"To stop a black hole, protect someone you care about, and then throw yourself in, vanishing together with it."
After Kei Yamanaka said that in one breath,
Angel Yan and Angel Zui turned their heads toward him in disbelief.
Stop a black hole? Protect someone?
Protect *who*?
Morgan?!
