The Supermen Realm—still the same high-end hotel as before, top-floor presidential suite.
Inside the living room of the suite.
Angel Yan, Angel Zhixin, Leng, Zui, Moy, Lingxi, Fanxing, Yi Tian, Yunyi...
Over a dozen angels chattered animatedly about recent events on Blue Planet.
Beside them, Male Soldiers' Squad—Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuan, Zhao Xin, Cheng Yaowen, Rin, Mengmeng, and others—sat stiffly on the sofas, occasionally glancing toward the direction of the mahjong room.
Because Holy Ka'Sha and Tianji King Hexi had descended upon Blue Planet.
After receiving orders from Shinigami Kal, the Tao Tie civilization and the Giant Wolf civilization immediately ceased their attacks against Blue Planet.
Having spent several days non-stop fleeing and fighting against Tao Ties and Giant Wolves,
the members of Male Soldiers' Squad had finally earned a rare moment to catch their breath.
Inside the mahjong room.
A Conceptual-tier barrier shimmered with radiant arcs of multicolored energy, enveloping the surroundings. It completely disabled all engines, Void Techniques, Anti-Void capabilities, dark energy usage, and even support from the Heavenly Ladder supercomputer.
Rose, Reina, Guy, and Liang Bing—the four women sat around the mahjong table inside the room, each wearing different expressions as they examined their hands.
Behind them.
Tianji King Hexi sat leisurely on a nearby tea cabinet, continuously observing the room's barrier.
Demon Atuo and the Monkey King, Son Goku, wore serious looks too, both intently watching the game between Liang Bing, Rose, and the others.
This seemingly ordinary mahjong match
would determine the future fate of Blue Planet itself.
"One Bamboo," Reina hesitated for half a moment before discarding one of three idle tiles.
"Kong! I'm listening!"
Rose picked up the One Bamboo tile and declared a Kong, drawing a new tile from the bottom and revealing a flicker of suppressed tension and excitement, signaling that she was ready to win.
On her left side sat Liang Bing, her flushed cheeks showing a loving little smile.
She glanced at the discarded tiles Rose had played,
did a quick calculation in her head, then discarded one from a triplet of Four Bamboos.
"Win! Pure Bamboo!"
Rose revealed her tiles in relief, then turned to Liang Bing and spoke,
"Liang Bing, on Blue Planet, demons can only live and spread their faith within that island. No spreading outside—does that work?"
"That works. But if others come looking, I won't turn them away."
"...Fine."
After thinking it over, Rose agreed.
Blue Planet was knocked out cold and became the vortex of this cosmic civilization war. Before the members of Male Soldiers' Squad could grow stronger themselves, using gods to balance gods was the only viable choice!
Confining demons to just that small island
would prevent demons from spreading unchecked and threatening the entire planet, while still safeguarding Blue Planet.
It was already the best possible outcome.
Liang Bing also let out a faint smile, raising an eyebrow at Guy beside her and giving a knowing look that said, "See? Told you."
One round of mahjong came to an end.
As Liegong's representative, Reina gained nothing, while Liegong Star must guard the red supergiant star system for 5,000 years.
Guy, representing the angels, was granted the right to spread her faith across the Western Hemisphere.
Demons would only be allowed control over a small island.
The Male Soldiers' Squad managed to preserve Blue Planet's sovereignty to the greatest extent, while also securing protection and support from the angels, demons, and Liegong.
This outcome exceeded even what the Male Soldiers' Leadership had hoped for.

Seeing the system's surprisingly generous rewards, a glint of satisfaction flickered in Kei Yamanaka's eyes.
With a casual wave of his hand, he dispelled the conceptual lockdown barrier around him.
"They were all targeting me, the great Sun Wukong," muttered Son Goku, his face sour as he crossed his arms and walked out of the Mahjong room with Rose to report the final results to the Male Soldiers' Leadership.
From the moment he stepped in, everyone at the table targeted him.
In a total of four rounds, he barely lasted two rounds before nearly having every one of his monkey hairs yanked out by the three women at the table.
"Heard he helped you upgrade your Divine Body and engine?"
Kaisa casually flicked the last Four of Bamboos tile—her fingers having toyed with it throughout—into the center of the table.
She cast a playful glance toward Liang Bing beside her.
Ever since arriving on Blue Planet, Kei Yamanaka had informed them of his plan to set up a World Portal beyond the planet's atmosphere—one linked to his own dimension, capable of connecting to other realms.
From that point on, the result of this game was already decided!
Blue Planet would never become the exclusive domain of any single civilization. It would serve solely as the central hub where all civilizations across the known universe could interact.
Both demons and angels—and any other civilizations—would need to exercise restraint here!
The only ones who hadn't foreseen this conclusion were Rhea, the Sun Goddess representing Liegong, who appeared rather clueless,
And the members of the Male Soldiers' Squad themselves—still oblivious to the true power wielded by this Dimensional Demon God,
Continuing their singular focus on resisting alien invasions without understanding this new reality.
[Magical Heart Engine!] The ultimate power born from the fusion of Void and Anti-Void. My dear older sister, at most you and I can now only fight to a draw."
Liang Bing sat cross-legged, chin lifted in a regal pose.
With Kei's assistance, she'd surpassed even the average Fourth-Generation Divine Body. With the integration of her Void-Anti-Void fusion technique, her strength surged even further!
Backed by Demon Unit One—an entity powerful enough to function as a celestial computer—
She was now Kaisa's equal!
Although demon forces overall still lagged significantly behind those of angels, so long as she remained undefeated, no one could ever chase her across galaxies like a terrified rabbit again,
Never having to avoid confronting that witch named Kaisa ever again!
"Magic Heart? I thought you were talking about a nauseating heart."
"Piiiii~ Tsk~ Is that all you've got? Petty tricks to provoke me?"
"Tsk tsk tsk~ Serving under the Dimensional Demon God must've really civilized you. Holding back dirty words right at the tip of your tongue? Must've taken real effort."
Kaisa clicked her tongue repeatedly with amusement.
"Not wasting another word on you."
Annoyed, Liang Bing waved her off without another word, unable to tolerate Kaisa's smirking gaze any longer. Standing up directly, she headed outside to seek comfort from Rose.
If she stayed talking with that witch any longer, she was afraid stress would block her breast ducts completely!
Holy Ka'sha let out a soft chuckle and glanced at Kei Yamanaka seated beside her.
She turned to Reina, who was sulking with a flushed face after being soundly defeated.
"The young Primordial God of the Lieyang Star," Holy Ka'sha said, "kindly deliver this message to Panzhen: Kal-El must return at once once he has gathered sufficient void particles. No one will grant him a second chance."
"You... I'll make sure to pass it along," Reina replied, her voice carrying a hint of discontent at Ka'sha's condescending tone, though she understood the vast gap between Lieyang and the angels.
Holy Ka'sha was not someone easily dealt with.
Indeed, Panzhen's aid to Kal had placed her—the Primordial God of Lieyang Star—in an impossible position on all fronts.
Today, she even found herself too ashamed to meet the gaze of her beloved deity.
With a surge of indignation, she rose from her seat.
Reina walked out of the Mahjong room while initiating a call toward the Deva Path Tower of Lieyang Star.
Ka'sha waved her hand, channeling her dark energy to shove Hexi—who was peeking inside out of curiosity—out of the Mahjong room before sealing it shut again.
"Satisfied with how I handled things just now, Dimensional Demon God and Sorcerer Supreme?" Ka'sha asked.
"Are you genuinely concerned about whether Panzhen lives or dies?" Kei Yamanaka lightly chuckled and sat down across from Holy Ka'sha.
"View it from another perspective—if Kal wants to gather void particles, he won't succeed without Lieyang Star's stellar drive technology. Without full confidence in success, he won't reappear any time soon. In that sense, Panzhen did save you some time, didn't he?"
Ka'sha's expression remained unchanged, but her posture relaxed slightly.
Not outright refusal meant there was room for discussion.
The multiversal force represented by Kei Yamanaka might not be as utterly contemptuous of life or destructive to known cosmic civilizations as Kal—the Ultimate Fear.
Yet from the angels' point of view, it still represented an unknown and uncertain future!
If possible,
she naturally wished to leave the angels with several dependable allies.
Only time would tell when those kids from Male Soldiers' Squad would finally grow strong enough!
"That makes sense."
Kei shrugged and didn't refuse.
Dumping Panzhen into guarding the red supergiant for five thousand years would also alter his destiny.
As long as it affects the worldline,
a man he hadn't even met personally—his survival or demise held no significance whatsoever.
"It seems your little goddess, who admires you so much, won't need to hide away crying after all."
Ka'sha teased with a slight smile.
"People who listen to advice usually receive more favors, don't they?"
Kei raised an eyebrow, glancing at Ka'sha's exposed legs where her red leg armor used to be, then shot back with teasing of his own.
"Let's get serious. I ask only one favor in return: As long as it doesn't violate justice, the angels shall draw their blades for you."
A flicker of discomfort crossed Ka'sha's face.
Being questioned about her aesthetic choices stung—perfection was her lifeblood, after all.
"Go ahead."
"I hope you, Sorcerer Supreme... [Eradicate every single vassal under the Heavenly Order!]"
"Doesn't that contradict the Just Order you yourself established?"
Kei hesitated for a moment. He had considered many possibilities, but never expected Ka'sha to propose something like this.
Eradicate every single vassal! Completely!
It wasn't just those male angels, but also other humans who had sworn loyalty to Havoc.
That's no small number at all!
"Justice is a harsh word. A Queen who's reigned for tens of thousands of years—well, I've had enough of this role, and others have seen enough too. Stepping down isn't so bad, is it? Sorcerer Supreme, tell me—who do you believe would be a suitable new Queen of the Angels?"
