"Are these wings real?"
Miao Tiaojun reached out and poked Lin Ci's arm beside him, his face full of novelty from never having seen the world before.
Lin Ci's gaze calmly swept over this ancient and prosperous star field.
A strange energy permeated the air, pure yet carrying a subtle, almost imperceptible restlessness.
Like the calm before the storm.
"Where's the lord?"
A clear, melodious voice came from below, attracting the attention of the two.
Lin Ci lowered his eyes and looked down.
A silver-haired, waist-length, and graceful female angel was walking slowly towards them.
She wore streamlined silver armor that perfectly accentuated her almost flawless figure.
"They said they went to the temple."
Another female angel guard behind her answered softly.
"Some time."
The silver-haired female angel stopped and looked up at the ever-changing nebula.
A faint trace of worry appeared between her delicate brows.
"I don't know why, but lately I've been feeling uneasy."
The guard, Ruoning, chuckled softly.
"Does Your Highness also get nervous?"
"You've followed the lord on his campaigns since you were a child, what kind of grand scenes haven't you seen?"
Keisha, addressed as Your Highness, withdrew her gaze, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"Yeah, it's just a coronation ceremony."
Ruoning's tone carried a hint of indignation.
"Everyone says that you are the most valiant warrior in the Hoffman family."
"If you were a man, who knows who would become the King of Angels?"
Upon hearing this, Keisha turned around.
In that instant, Miao Tiaojun, standing atop the palace, felt his breath catch in his throat.
It was a face of unparalleled beauty that defied description.
His features were so exquisite that they resembled the most perfect creation of a god, and his eyes shone like stars, yet they also carried an all-seeing wisdom and an inviolable majesty.
A blend of heroism and gentleness is perfectly embodied in her.
Keisha's lips curled up slightly, revealing an undeniable confidence.
"What's wrong with being a girl?"
"Let's go to the temple."
Watching that receding figure, Miao-Tiao Jun subconsciously swallowed.
"Boss... Boss, this... this is so beautiful..."
Lin Ci didn't say anything, but simply took him and disappeared from the spot like a ghost, silently following behind.
Inside the temple, there was a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
An elderly man with equally silver hair, dressed in heavy armor.
He was facing away from the doorway, looking up at a huge angel statue in front of him.
"Back then, we unified the chaotic Angel Nebula."
"Establish a republican order, make the angels a dominant force in the universe, and ensure their people live in peace and joy."
His voice was filled with endless vicissitudes and remembrance.
"Hua Que, Hua Que, our vision has not yet been realized, and you have passed away."
"Look at the present, bloodshed is rampant, and resentment is everywhere."
Keisha appeared behind him, her footsteps light.
"May the kings protect us, and may your spirits stand forever behind us."
Upon hearing the sound, the old man slowly turned around.
"How did you come?"
A sweet smile bloomed on Keisha's face, easing the somber atmosphere of the temple.
"Father, is something troubling you?"
Keisha's father pointed to the murals and statues around them.
"Come and see old friends. The kings of the past established the Heavenly Palace Dynasty, and this temple is to commemorate their great achievements."
A hint of melancholy crept into Keisha's smile.
"When we were little, Liangbing and I always loved to pester you to tell us stories of how the kings started their dynasties. I wonder if Liangbing will come tomorrow."
Her father said.
"Although you are not related by blood, she is still your sister."
His tone shifted, becoming heavy.
"The Heavenly Palace is no longer what it used to be. When Hua Que was in power, he could suppress Hua Ye's ambitions, but now he is openly trampling on the republican order."
"Drag the entire Angel Nebula into the abyss of darkness."
The smile on Keisha's face vanished completely, replaced by a deep resentment.
"Hua Ye's tyrannical rule has already caused widespread public resentment."
"The other lords either surrendered or died in battle; now only our tribe remains unyielding."
Ruoning listlessly raised her head and looked at the stars dotting the sky.
The next second, her pupils shrank suddenly.
Those weren't stars at all.
Those were massive, menacing celestial warships, densely packed together.
It roared in from the depths of the nebula, and the gun barrels at the bow of the ship were already flashing a blinding red light.
She opened her mouth, as if to issue a warning.
However, it was too late.
"boom--!!"
Countless thick beams of energy descended from the sky, like a divine punishment of the apocalypse, instantly engulfing the entire temple.
The sturdy palace was reduced to ruins in an instant, as fragile as paper, under the fire of artillery.
Flames shot into the sky, and debris flew everywhere.
As the smoke and dust dissipated slightly.
Keisha was held firmly in place by several strong male angels and could not move.
Her father was also subdued by a handsome male angel, with a sword at his neck.
A male angel with a slovenly and lewd aura.
With an air of indifference, he walked up to Keisha.
He is now the King of Angels, Hua Ye.
Hua Ye reached out and lightly lifted Keisha's chin, which was covered in dust but still exquisite.
Keisha's eyes were filled with disgust and defiance as she spat a mouthful of saliva hard onto Hua Ye's face.
Hua Ye's smile froze.
He wiped the spittle off his face and slapped her hard across the face.
"Don't think I won't hit you just because we're engaged."
He turned and walked toward Keisha's father, who had been subdued by Sumali, and drew the longsword from his waist.
"Nobody wanted things to turn out this way. I came all this way just to have a proper talk with you."
"Is it so hard to submit to me?"
Keisha's father let out a disdainful snort.
"If Hua Que knew that his son was such a scoundrel, he would ask me to kill you for him!"
The smile on Hua Ye's face vanished completely.
He turned to look at the huge statue in the center of the temple that represented his father, Hua Que.
Then, he suddenly threw the longsword in his hand.
The longsword transformed into a streak of light, striking the statue's neck with unparalleled precision.
The enormous head snapped off the statue with a crash, slamming heavily to the ground and shattering into pieces.
Hua Ye spread his arms wide, his expression both manic and arrogant.
"Even if he is arrogant, he is nothing more than a statue."
"Now, I am the King of Angels!"
Chapter 98 Keisha, you bitch, you even dare to bring in helpers, huh?
Hua Ye glanced contemptuously at Keisha's father's face, which was twisted with anger.
"If I tell you to kneel, you have to kneel."
