Chapter Thirteen: A Conversation by the Edge of the Clouds

“Uh…”

The calm voice reached the ears of the blonde woman, causing her to feel a bit flustered instinctively, a faint blush coloring her snowy-white cheeks.

If Xiaolun Ge could witness this scene, he would immediately recognize her as none other than Angel Yan, the most beautiful angel north of the Galaxy, beloved by Wuyan.

He would also surely guess that the one speaking with Angel Yan was none other than the invincible King of the Universe himself, the sacred Kesha.

At this moment, Angel Yan looked down at the tall, handsome young boy before her, hearing Queen Kesha's faint, playful laughter, and found herself momentarily at a loss for words.

Her thoughts involuntarily drifted back to an afternoon a few days ago, when the queen suddenly mentioned the Galaxy Force to her, explaining the past connections between the Galaxy Force and the angels, accompanied by a meaningful look in her eyes.

That was precisely when the Galaxy Force had just been activated.

“You’re seven thousand years old now; it’s time to mature and find a god who won’t crumble into dust…”

Hearing Angel Yan’s shy, girlish embarrassment, in the grand palace of the Angel City billions of light-years away, the sacred Kesha, clad in regal armor, smiled faintly.

“I… but Queen Kesha, setting aside his matters with me for now.”

Angel Yan listened to the queen’s almost arranged-marriage-like words, feeling her ears grow hot and flushed, hastily changing the subject.

“Since you signaled me this morning, Blue Star time, to search for the whereabouts of the Galaxy Force, I have barely managed to confirm his location through the others at the Super God Academy.”

“However, even now, I am still unable to access his dark data.”

“His dark data is completely sealed; under normal circumstances, there isn’t even the slightest abnormal energy fluctuation.”

“This might be why the Galaxy Force suddenly lost contact with us.”

“Based on brief communication between the gods at the Super God Academy and the Galaxy Force, and some information analysis from a second-generation god named Rose, it seems this information blockade was not imposed by the Super God Academy but rather by the Galaxy Force himself…”

“Even the Super God Academy seems to have been shielded by the Galaxy Force.”

Angel Yan’s report grew serious.

Since Queen Kesha told her about the sudden activation of the Galaxy Force a few days ago, she had gone to the White Ming Star in the Styx River system to scout for the movements of the Gluttonous Beast—a millennium-long campaign against Blue Star civilization that she had been monitoring for a thousand years.

After visiting the Styx River, she came to the Blue Star in the Milky Way to check on its current situation and to issue warnings to its humans.

Unexpectedly, once Queen Kesha learned she was on Blue Star, she suddenly instructed her to search for the Galaxy Force’s whereabouts and confirm whether he was still on Blue Star.

She was told that the connection between the Galaxy Force and the angels had been completely severed and was asked to investigate the cause.

After searching for two or three hours and spending some time analyzing, she was certain that the young boy escorted by the gods of the Super God Academy was indeed the Galaxy Force himself.

The information she gathered in such a short time was quite astonishing.

While speaking, she also sent the collected information to Queen Kesha.

“Oh?” The sacred Kesha raised an eyebrow lightly.

Angel Yan’s report aligned to some extent with Kesha’s suspicions but also contained unexpected details.

Since losing monitoring of the Galaxy Force over a dozen hours ago, Kesha had devoted considerable effort to speculating on the cause of the loss and the possible whereabouts of the Galaxy Force.

After all, only she truly understood how important the Galaxy Force was to her.

Of course, as the sacred Kesha, she was not overly anxious.

There could be many reasons for the lost contact.

For instance, intervention by the Super God Academy or even the Space Principal, or perhaps the Galaxy Force was suddenly taken by some god-level power—like the Scorching Sun, the Styx River, or even Morgana.

But no matter the cause, as the King of Gods, she harbored little worry.

In her eyes, whether the Galaxy Force was at the Super God Academy or in the hands of another faction, he would ultimately belong to the angels.

Sooner or later.

This was the confidence of a universal sovereign.

Therefore, she did not panic immediately upon losing contact. After some fruitless tests, she found Angel Yan on Blue Star.

Given that the Galaxy Force was still at the Super God Academy and that the lost contact was likely due to the Academy’s actions, this was the most probable scenario according to her and the knowledge repository’s calculations.

But hearing the last few words from Angel Yan surprised even the sacred Kesha.

The Galaxy Force himself?

A super warrior born only a few days ago, who not only shielded the angels billions of light-years away but also blocked his own faction’s Super God Academy?

Looking at the patchwork of information Angel Yan sent, Kesha’s mind and knowledge repository worked rapidly, countless pieces of information and possibilities emerging and being filtered.

At last, they pointed quickly to the most likely answer.

“Anti-Void?”

Kesha’s delicate brows lifted, her voice a murmur.

“Could the newly born Galaxy Force really be growing this fast?” The next moment, she exclaimed in astonishment.

With her sacred body and the vast computational power of the knowledge repository, aided by displayed data, she deduced in mere seconds what Lian Feng, Ruiz, and others had spent an entire night trying to confirm.

And she was quite certain of this conclusion.

Yet the result invigorated her spirit.

According to her instinctive estimate a few days ago, it would take at least several years or even over a decade for the newborn Galaxy Force to reach this level.

But now, it had only been a few days.

“Anti-Void?” Angel Yan was momentarily stunned upon hearing this but soon understood.

From her observations as the left-wing guard and her knowledge of vacuum phenomena, enhanced by secondary biological engines, she had heard some rumors about Anti-Void.

“If Anti-Void truly realizes the theoretical overturning of energy conservation and dark energy conservation, negating the vacuum, then it would indeed be capable of blocking information transmission,” Angel Yan finally grasped.

The puzzling information she had gathered over the past hours now made sense.

“To truly confirm this, we would need close observation, using the second-generation god Rose as a breakthrough point, or even direct communication with the Galaxy Force himself.” Looking over all the current information, Angel Yan’s eyes revealed a trace of contemplation.

Though her abilities in dark information insight were top-tier in the universe, besides being utterly unable to penetrate the Galaxy Force, she could not perceive much data about the third-generation god of the Divine River, nor about the second-generation god Lian Feng.

Although she could glimpse some data on the second-generation god Rose, she was too far away to see much—only fragments.

“Don’t get too close, though,” Kesha chuckled softly, her voice tinged with obvious teasing. “Be a bit reserved… don’t scare the Galaxy Force.”

“Uh…”

Angel Yan was momentarily speechless, her exquisite cheeks blushing once more as she helplessly replied, “Queen Kesha, this is for official business.”

“I never said you were scheming for personal reasons,” Kesha laughed.

“I…”

“All right, sooner or later you’ll have to contact the Super God Academy anyway. And… the Scorching Sun, right?” Queen Kesha stopped teasing her disciple and returned to the topic.

“Yes.”

Angel Yan became serious again and asked, “But, Your Majesty, to what extent should we proceed?”

Although she had been tracking the Gluttonous Beast’s campaign against the Chiwu stellar system for a thousand years, the Blue Star in the Chiwu system was, after all, a civilization radiated by the old Divine River and mainly under the care of the Scorching Sun civilization.

So before discussing the imminent war on Blue Star with Queen Kesha, she found it difficult to decide whether to actively help Blue Star in the future.

“Mainly, we should observe for now. Actually, the moment isn’t ripe yet. If you do happen to contact the gods of the Super God Academy or the Scorching Sun, you can listen to their opinions first,” Kesha’s voice was calm.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” Angel Yan nodded in understanding.

“So, you’re spying on the Galaxy Force’s training now? Synchronize the video over so I can watch,” unexpectedly, Queen Kesha suddenly changed the subject.

Angel Yan sighed helplessly, pretending not to hear the queen’s constant teasing.

“Although the Galaxy Force has shielded his information, he only entered the Super God Academy today and just started learning to manipulate dark energy… Hm? How is he flying now?” She synchronized the footage to Queen Kesha while providing an update on the Galaxy Force’s condition.

But then she suddenly paused.

“Hm? Flying? Yan, did you open a backdoor for your little god?” Kesha sounded surprised.
