Kei Yamanaka paused for a moment before quickly understanding Queen Guya's intentions.
Kal-El, representing the Void, had already become his enemy. Knowing his style, there was no way he'd show mercy to someone like Kal-El, a half-mad Daoist cultivator.
Once Kal-El fell, none of the Beast-body civilizations beneath him would pose any real threat to the angels anymore!
They were truly about to cross the red line of the Just Order.
Dozens of high-ranking guardian angels could easily wipe out nearly all the Beast-body civilizations across the Known Universe.
The Triangulans had clearly started cooperating with Kal-El.
Not only would they gain no benefits from this war,
but Kei Yamanaka, embodying the very concept of multiverses across countless dimensions and worlds, left no space for the Triangulans' survival—they had no future left.
As for Havoc,
as the once-greatest resource monopolizer in the Known Universe,
even though the Heavenly Order has been declining for tens of thousands of years now, he still retained a large following.
With Kal-El gone, Havoc would become the greatest destabilizing force in the Known Universe!
Only after completely eliminating this threat could the angels, Liegong, and Superman Institute finally unite all civilizations and factions in the Known Universe into one unified force, preparing for the highly probable era of Multi-Dimensions and Multi-Worlds!
As for Liang Bing,
the caged demon had already become a vicious dog with a leash around its neck.
Though Kei, the Dimensional Demon God, wasn't entirely benevolent—after all, leashed dogs could always be let loose again—
since the angels had already aligned themselves with him, this leashed beast wouldn't dare defy its master or turn against its own allies!
Once all internal threats within the Known Universe were settled,
the angels could then invest more strength into exploring other possibilities, marching toward a future beyond anything ever imagined!
And the reason Queen Guya herself wanted to step down from her position as Angel Queen?
First, perhaps like in the original storyline, she realized long ago that under her leadership, the Just Order had barely progressed in the last ten thousand years, stuck in endless stagnation and unable to adapt to the new future.
Second, the angels' ability to traverse realms entirely relied on the gateways established by Kei Yamanaka. If they wished to expand further, they needed to find strong backing.
Of course they needed backup, but Guya couldn't hold onto it while still serving as Queen.
It wasn't just about pride—it was about preserving autonomy so the angels wouldn't end up like the demons, turned into vicious dogs with leashes.
Third, she herself might desire to become a sharp blade leading the angels into this brand-new future.
Clearing obstacles in other realms to pave the way for angelic expansion,
while also getting a chance to explore beyond.
"You think your choice really matters? They're all the same anyway."
Kei Yamanaka shrugged, not offering any suggestion regarding the selection of the next Angel Queen.
Even back in the original storyline, when Guya 'left,' she continued influencing angelic decisions.
Since she was still alive and well,
unless another tens of thousands of years passed, with angel warriors evolving across generations and greatly reducing her influence, the new queen would still have to obey her every command.
"It's precisely because they're all the same that it bothers me."
Guy frowned, shaking her head helplessly.
She needed to steer things carefully, making sure the angels didn't stray too far from Kei Yamanaka's strong support. Yet at the same time, she hoped the angels could evolve toward a brand-new future and enact more changes.
Such conflicting demands were inherently contradictory.
"...Don't stress over it. If choosing one is difficult, just pick three."
Using his Fate Precognition ability, Kei Yamanaka stared at Guy for several seconds. After seeing how Melodious Heavens would eventually take shape, he simply shared the vision's final outcome.
In the original blueprint of Melodious Heavens' future, Tianji King Hexi represented the foundation of Just Order, Heaven's Blade King Guy symbolized the sharp blade enforcing that order through military might, while Heavenly Omen King Liang Bing embodied the very vision of justice itself.
It was a beautiful ideal filled with hope.
The problem was Liang Bing wasn't particularly reliable, eventually walking down a path that deeply disappointed Guy.
That's precisely why Tianji King later chose to retire.
And Heaven's Blade King alone held authority over the celestial city.
"Three Kings?"
Guy raised her eyebrows slightly, instinctively thinking about Liang Bing again.
Theoretically speaking,
when Melodious Heavens had first been established, this Three Kings system truly represented a more stable and comprehensive structure.
Now that she was secretly steering everything behind the scenes,
such issues wouldn't happen again.
A Three Kings system would indeed offer the angels much greater potential!
Heaven's Blade King, Tianji King, and Heavenly Omen King.
No!
The names needed an update. After all, they're new kings now—better not carry too much baggage from the old era.
Seeing Guy lost in thought, Kei Yamanaka shifted his gaze back to the previous system rewards.
He already had accumulated three Keyword Copy opportunities, but nothing among the available options particularly caught his eye right now.
The remaining usable ones were only the Linked Keyword Draw opportunity, as well as Red-Tier Skill Listing Upgrade and Purple-Tier Trait Upgrade opportunities.
"System, use Linked Keyword Draw."
[Random linked keyword 'Primordial Sovereign' successfully drawn. Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Golden Skill Listing 'Sigh of Decay'.]
Sigh of Decay (Gold): The soul turns to rotting wood, the body crumbles away, life fades inevitably—what can truly last forever? Allows basic application of the concept of decay; beneath the Sigh of Decay, everything within contact range rapidly ages, rots, collapses, and decomposes. (Note: This technique consumes tremendous energy—may backfire if energy levels are too low.)
"Concept!"
Kei Yamanaka's eyes lit up instantly as he chose to activate this listing immediately.
The Concept of Decay!
This concept had way broader applications than something like Severing Blade.
Just an ordinary Linked Keyword Draw, yet it directly yielded a conceptual skill—now that was some serious luck!
[System detected Golden Skill Listing 'Sigh of Decay' can integrate with Colored Keyword 'Primordial Sovereign'. Integrate?]
"Yes!"
The newly surged power flowing into Kei Yamanaka's mind and body quickly merged into the Primordial Realm.
After the Primordial Realm reorganized and refined the Concept of Decay,
a Star of Decay then suspended itself high within the Primordial Realm.
Under the amplification of dimensional power, the previously only superficially understood Decay Concept had now fully manifested as the Domain of Decay itself!
A Conceptual-Tier power that transcends the laws of reality.
Even beings theoretically granted Eternal Lifespan and Immortal bodies would wither and decay under its influence!
And...
It's not just living beings that decay!
Matter, energy, and even forces ranked below the Decay Concept—all will suffer the same fate!
In other words,
if an enemy fires an arrow packed with immense energy at Kei Yamanaka,
the very moment the arrow enters the Domain of Decay,
it will quickly collapse under the influence of the Decay Concept, and the power and energy it carried would collapse as well!
"Not bad, not bad. Seems I can use it without actually sighing after all."
Kei Yamanaka's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
Using the '[Sigh of Decay]' requires first exhaling a breath.
To maximize its effectiveness,
he must exhale directly onto the enemy's face!
This activation method made him look like someone with terrible breath!
