Chapter 272 - Chapter 272: The Demon Queen? Why Such Restraint?

For civilizations that haven't yet entered the interstellar era, it's not unusual for their planets to remain politically divided.

In fact, that's actually the norm!

Due to centuries of accumulated conflicts and contradictions,

the various factions and nations on such planets rarely unite against common enemies.

Although the leadership of the Male Soldiers' Squad clearly stated their nation doesn't welcome demonic corruption, the holes in their words were obvious!

They may not welcome demons—but they couldn't speak for all of Blue Planet!

As for those Denon Civilization remnants like General Ducao and Lian Feng, they're still outsiders—how much influence could they possibly have?

Bluntly put,

the Male Soldiers' Squad can barely protect themselves right now.

Any faction unwilling to fight alongside them naturally pursued its own agenda.

And truthfully speaking,

they had neither the obligation nor the ability to intervene.

With Tao Tie and Celestial Wolf civilizations invading, the leadership of the Male Soldiers' Squad had to proceed with extreme caution at every step.

Demons, as one of the most powerful civilizations in the known universe,

if completely pushed into opposition,

would bring Blue Planet a disaster it could never withstand!

Liang Bing had been the Demon Queen for tens of thousands of years. Her intelligence was second to none. Naturally, she understood what this meant.

Yet despite that,

she remained cautious due to the presence of the Space-Time Rose,

acting somewhat more restrained than in the original storyline.

After Demon Unit One thoroughly analyzed Blue Planet's history,

she cautiously selected a small country with modest territory but dense population, reviving demon elites like Atuo and Black Wind there.

However, something surprised her—

Once demonic faith started spreading within this small country,

immortality, extraordinary powers, control over dark energy, boundless freedom...

This antiquated method of spreading faith yielded results far exceeding her expectations.

At one point, she even doubted herself—

Had she secretly released a demonic gene infection agent here?

Otherwise, how could it spread faster than a virus?!

——————

Aboard the Great Canyon, anchored in southern waters,

General Ducao stared blankly at the expense reimbursement slip handed by Lian Feng. His usually stern face was now etched with utter confusion.

He had just finished discussing demon-related issues with his superiors,

and turned around only to find such an enormous reimbursement claim filed under "Entertainment Expenses."

This...

"A hundred million credits?! Entertainment expenses? Who in the world were you entertaining?!"

"Two mornings ago at exactly 6:06 AM—shortly after I left Huang Village—the Male Soldiers' financial account was drained of a hundred million credits without any human operation. The transaction memo read: Dimensional Demon God Peaks..."

Lian Feng replied helplessly, explaining the money's disappearance.

Right after the funds vanished that morning,

technicians quickly flagged the anomaly, tracked the transfer destination, and verified the recipient's details.

Since then, all subsequent transactions from that account were left completely transparent—with no attempt at concealment whatsoever.

"Are you saying that the Dimensional Demon God got ID documents and bank accounts for himself and a group of angels, and all expenses are deducted from this account?"

General Ducao rubbed his head beneath his military cap, looking rather incredulous.

Going on shopping sprees with angels—buying all sorts of clothes and accessories.

Going to amusement parks, driving go-karts, riding giant wheels...

What self-respecting Primordial God would do such things?

"That's right!"

Lian Feng nodded.

"In a way, our opponent… treats us with surprising courtesy."

Ducao directly placed this expense report inside a folder.

Putting aside how much the other side had helped the Male Soldiers' Squad before,

As guests arrived, they indeed needed to show proper hospitality.

Even if spending one hundred million only slightly improved the Dimensional Demon God's favor toward Blue Planet and them, it'd still be an incredible deal!

Something money could never buy!

Besides, Tao Tie and Celestial Wolf vanguard forces already arrived; undoubtedly, the upcoming assault wouldn't be far off either.

Blue Planet's monetary system during war would definitely suffer tremendous shocks, and at that time, current currencies would probably just become meaningless digits anyway.

Minor issue, minor issue!

"Commander Ducao, there's one more thing."

Seeing the other put away the expense report, Lian Feng relaxed slightly before continuing onto another matter.

"Speak."

"Previously we planned to hold training exercises between Male Soldiers' Squad and Monkey King—shall we continue with that plan?"

"Hmm... Yes. Reina has been nagging to meet the Dimensional Primordial God, hasn't she? It might be good for her to interact more with him."

"Understood!"

————————————

The day after the Male Soldiers' Squad completed their graduation exercise, massive fleets from the Tao Tie civilization and Celestial Wolf civilization suddenly crossed ultra-wide-range space-time wormholes and appeared outside the Milky Way galaxy.

They began deploying numerous small warships through miniaturized space wormholes to attack Blue Planet!

Just as Kei Yamanaka had foreseen through Liang Bing's visions of the future.

Various nations on Blue Planet—

Instantly plunged into flames of war!

At the same time, Liang Bing—who had vanished for three days—having upgraded to a Fourth-Generation Divine Body and equipped with a Void Engine, immediately located Angel Zui using Demon Unit One, finding Kei Yamanaka right away!

Her eyes were cloaked in a faint white glow.

After trying multiple times without success to read Kei Yamanaka's data, Liang Bing finally forced out a stiff smile before speaking again.

"Big god, you previously said you could help me upgrade my Fourth-Generation Divine Body further—is that true?"

"Of course it is."

Upon seeing Liang Bing's stiff expression, Kei Yamanaka curled his lips into a teasing smirk.

His eyes slightly narrowed, he quickly accessed the other's Dark Communication Data and scanned everything the other had done over the past few days.

Discovering that this person's sole focus over the past few days was turning him into a demon and personally giving her massages and foot washes, he momentarily didn't know what to say!

You're the demon queen for crying out loud!

Why are you acting so prudish?

"How do I upgrade, where do I go?"

Liang Bing cast a sidelong glance at Angel Yan and Angel Leng standing nearby.

As the left-wing guardian, Angel Yan had high-level access to the Sacred Knowledge Treasury, which made extracting information difficult, but Angel Zui did not.

She got the same intel from Angel Zui.

Thus, she learned about Kei Yamanaka's recent activities and some techniques he used in everyday life.

"This should work."

Kei glanced at Liang Bing's skill listings interface.

The Quantum Engine had already begun rapidly analyzing her current Fourth-Generation Divine Body genes.

[Quantum Engine activated. Advanced Defined Matter synthesis and Conceptual Rewriting initiated. Target analysis: A humanoid lifeform possessing Angel Fourth-Gen genes, Demon Third-Gen genes, and equipped with a Styx-class Void Engine. Core processing speed: 40 Hertz. Additional functions include Angel Gene Disruption capability and Mid-Level Concept Rewriting.]

[Angel Fourth-Gen Gene: Perfect compatibility with native Galactic Power Genes, highly compatible with Sacred Body Genes. Demon Third-Gen Gene: Highly compatible with Space-Time Genes. Please choose an enhancement path for the genes.]

"Which upgrade do you want? Anti-Void? Sacred Atom? Or Space-Time?"

Kei raised an eyebrow upon seeing that Liang Bing's internal Styx-class Void Engine had a core processing speed of 40 Hertz.

"Kal must really be desperate to test my strength," he mused inwardly.

That's already ten times stronger than the Tao Tie King Pharaoh!

Minus the black hole creation ability, this was likely already Kal's limit.

He just wondered where exactly Kal had obtained void particles from, given that Hikaku Star hadn't even exploded yet.

"...Anti-Void!"

Liang Bing hesitated briefly before deciding against choosing the Space-Time Gene.

Now equipped with the Void Engine and capable of manipulating Void Techniques within a certain range, she finally realized just how terrifying this power was!

Compared to the slow development of the Space-Time Gene,

she wanted her revenge now, not years down the line!

"Now that's what I call taste!"

Kei smirked and immediately issued new commands to the Quantum Engine.

He injected into Liang Bing's Void Engine the genetic sequence he'd developed during his downtime—a perfect fusion of Angel Fourth-Gen Gene and the original Galactic Power Gene.

With the energy inside her Fourth-Generation Divine Body already nearly at full capacity

and using her existing Styx-class Void Engine,

she could fully integrate the new genes within a day

and gain the power of Anti-Void!

At that point, she would also be able to further upgrade her own Void Engine.

Just as Kei finished injecting the new genetic data into Liang Bing's engine,

a sudden space-time fluctuation rippled above him—subtly hidden, but unmistakable!

"Heh~Coming after me?"

Kei smirked slightly and tilted his head toward the sky.
