Chapter 180 Rose's Request, Tiancheng's Unofficial Staff
And just like that, Li Yao casually cut Morgana into eight pieces and put them into a bottle.
Rose and Yuqin stood not far away, watching this scene with a profound shock in their hearts.
Having stayed on Demon One for so long, they naturally knew how strong Morgana was, but they never expected that she wouldn't even have the power to fight back against this young angel king.
Despite their shock, neither of them felt much sorrow.
Especially Rose, whose expression remained indifferent, her heart almost completely calm.
This is probably mainly because Morgana is busy repairing Demon One and recruiting soldiers every day, so she doesn't have much time to strategize with her.
On the other side, Li Yao casually put the bottle into the dark dimension, a golden light flashing in his eyes.
[Decrypting the Devil One System Permissions]
[Solution progress: 30%...60%...100%]
[Successfully Taken Over Devil One]
In the blink of an eye, the Demon One, which had roamed the universe for tens of thousands of years, completely changed hands.
Li Yao turned around, looked at Qiangwei and Yuqin, and smiled, "So, have you two made up your minds?"
In fact, the moment he boarded the Devil One, he had already conducted a full scan of the two men.
They were found to be clean and pure, showing no hostility towards the angels, and even harboring goodwill.
Therefore, he never intended to make things difficult for the two of them and generously gave them both a choice.
They either have to go back to Tiancheng with him to cooperate with the gene research, or they can leave safely right now.
As for what he just told Morgana—to imprison them for a hundred years and to purify them with holy light—that was purely his perverse sense of humor.
After all, humans are a collection of contradictions.
Good and evil, cold and hot, decisiveness and tenderness can sometimes coexist in the same person.
There are purely good or bad people in this world, but they are ultimately a minority, while most people are complex and contradictory.
Li Yao was the same.
When facing an enemy, he can be ruthless and cunning, using cruel and unscrupulous methods without any limits or room for maneuver.
But at the same time, in the eyes of angels and most ordinary beings, he is a symbol of justice and beauty.
After all, he was an angel with the heart of an angel, possessing all the wonderful qualities such as sunshine, kindness, justice, gentleness, and strength.
He couldn't bring himself to kill innocent people indiscriminately.
There's no need to completely destroy Rose and Yuqin, who have no grudge against the angels.
Upon hearing the angel king's inquiry, the two dared not delay and quickly exchanged glances.
Rose stepped forward first, bowed slightly, and said in a calm and respectful tone, "Your Majesty, we choose to return to Heavenly City with you."
She looked up at Li Yao, her expression sincere: "I will fully cooperate with the angels' genetic research, but I have a request, and I hope Your Majesty will grant it."
Li Yao raised an eyebrow: "Tell me about it."
Rose immediately said, "We hope Your Majesty can give us a chance, a chance to join the Angel Civilization."
Upon hearing this, a look of understanding flashed in Li Yao's eyes.
It seems that Rose has gained a sufficient understanding of the universe's structure and the angel civilization during her time on Devil One, and is no longer as ignorant as before.
He glanced at the still-unresolved battlefield outside, but wasn't in a hurry to leave. He gestured for her to continue, raising his chin: "Tell me your reasons."
Rose explained, "To be honest, we have nowhere to go now; we can't go back to Blue Star for the time being."
Li Yao nodded slightly.
He naturally understood the reason behind it.
On Blue Star, only a few people, including the Super Soldier Squad, knew that they had been kidnapped by Morgana through a combination of coaxing and deception.
In the eyes of many ordinary people, they are already people who have betrayed their home planet and are traitors to the planet.
From Earth's perspective, they are not wrong, and their view is perfectly reasonable.
If Li Yao were a human from Earth in this life, he would think the same way.
But now he is an angel, an alien.
From his perspective, these two were nothing more than ignorant girls who had been tricked by the most brainwashing demon queen in the entire universe, and could not be considered any heinous criminals.
As long as it doesn't harm the angel faction, it's insignificant.
Rose continued, "I also learned the secret of the spacetime gene from Morgana. It's the culmination of her life's research, and Karl was also involved. It has great potential, but..."
"It's just that you don't have enough resources to develop it, and you're even more afraid that Karl will target you because of this genetic potential and train you to be the next tool to deal with the angels."
Li Yao calmly accepted her words, hitting the nail on the head.
"So you want to find a powerful force to rely on, one that can protect you and provide you with a platform for growth."
"And in the entire known universe, only the Angel Civilization can simultaneously satisfy both of these conditions."
Am I right?
Rose was not surprised at all.
She knew she couldn't hide her thoughts from this angel king.
She nodded frankly: "You're right, that's exactly what I think."
She was well aware that the development of her spacetime genes required massive resources.
She is now able to upgrade to a third-generation divine body entirely thanks to the resources Morgana provided. If she were to rely on herself, it would probably take her thousands of years to gather enough resources for a third-generation divine body.
More importantly, she didn't have an astronomical computer.
Without this level of backing, her spacetime abilities would be limited.
Therefore, if she wants to continue to grow, she must rely on a powerful force.
She had considered other options as well.
However, neither the Super God Academy nor the Blazing Sun Civilization had the strength to directly confront Karl, nor did they have a deep understanding of the spacetime domain, nor did they possess the profound foundation of the Angel Civilization.
After much thought, only the Angel could both defy Karl's covetousness and possess the technology and resources to support her further progress.
Of course, more importantly, based on what she had learned during this time, the angelic civilization was a symbol of justice in the universe, consistent in its words and deeds, which perfectly aligned with her values.
Li Yao nodded slightly: "Your choice is very wise, and your concerns are not unfounded."
"Karl might indeed be eyeing your spacetime genes. You might be captured by him the moment you leave Demon One and molded into the next tool to deal with the angels."
"As for what you said about joining the angels..."
His gaze swept over Rose and Yuqin, and he quickly weighed the options in his mind.
Yuqin's healing abilities are indeed quite good. Although they don't help the angels much at the moment, once he has thoroughly studied them, he might be able to create an angel healing team.
Needless to say, the power of the spacetime gene in roses is beyond doubt.
In the original story, she only developed a portion of the spacetime genes, yet she was able to defeat a veteran spacetime god like Ruoning. Her combat power after upgrading to the fourth generation was even more impressive.
Most importantly, it has the ability to travel through time and space, which may be surprisingly effective in fighting against the void in the future.
Now that the Time-Space Rose has voluntarily pledged allegiance, it's definitely a win for the angels, almost second only to the Galactic Force's voluntary submission.
"I wonder if Your Majesty will grant our request?" Rose asked softly when she saw him hesitate.
Li Yao smiled and said, "I naturally welcome talented people like you to join us."
Then, he changed the subject and said solemnly, "But to become an angel, one must undergo rigorous testing, and this rule cannot be broken."
Rose and Yuqin exchanged a glance, their eyes both filled with joy.
As long as they're given a chance, that's fine.
Li Yao raised his hand and summoned a virtual light screen, on which were listed densely packed terms and conditions.
He lightly tapped the screen and pushed it in front of the two of them:
"Therefore, you will first sign this agreement with me to become unofficial staff of Tiancheng, enjoying basic resource supplies. After passing the assessment, you will be officially enlisted."
Uh……
Both Rose and her companion were stunned for a moment when they saw the words "Contractual Staff Employment Agreement" on the screen.
If it weren't for the fact that it was the angel king in front of them who said these words, they would almost think they had returned to Earth and were sitting in front of a job fair booth signing a labor contract.
The art style is so unexpected and jarring.
Fortunately, they weren't the type to fuss over details, and after a brief moment of surprise, they quickly skimmed through the terms and conditions.
The rights and responsibilities are clearly defined, and the benefits are clearly defined.
After confirming that there were no hidden textual traps, they signed their names on the screen one after another.
Li Yao chuckled as he put away the screen, then asked Qiangwei, "Qiangwei, you should know Morgana's original identity, right?"
"I know, she was originally the angel Liang Bing, but later fell and became the demon Morgana," Rose replied immediately.
She suddenly remembered something, and immediately took out two books from the dark dimension, handing them over with both hands.
"Your Majesty, this is Morgana and Karl's research work in the field of time and space. It also records some old stories of the early angel civilization."
Li Yao reached out and took it.
One is "The Principle of Spacetime Genes" written by Liang Bing, and the other is "My Spacetime Gene Practice with Liang Bing" written by Karl.
One book is about principles, and the other is about practice, but Karl insists on associating himself with Liang Bing's name.
Li Yao clicked his tongue twice, then quickly flipped through the book.
The book does indeed mention some stories about angels.
Thirty thousand years ago, when Keisha led a rebellion against Hua Ye, time travel technology had already begun to become widespread.
It's still at the engineering application level, and no one has ever thought of writing it into the gene sequence.
Liang Bing was the first person to have this idea; she was obsessed with researching the feasibility of spacetime genes.
At that time, Keisha devoted all her energy to the war, and resources were limited, which led to slow progress in her research.
Once the Celestial Court of Merlo was established, the Angel Civilization and the Super God Academy reached a deep cooperation agreement.
After Liang Bing joined the Super God Academy as a mentor, she had several discussions with the Space Principal about spacetime genes.
The Space Principal approved her idea, believing that concentrating large-scale spacetime technology into a single divine body would be enough to create a supreme god who could control space.
But when it came to the practical stage, she quickly encountered resistance due to insufficient resources.
So Liang Bing sought Keisha's support, but Keisha refused.
Because if Liang Bing's idea were followed, the amount of resources required to cultivate a Time God would be so vast that it would be enough to deplete the foundation of half of the Angel Civilization at that time.
Keisha, of course, could not agree to this.
She hopes to distribute the spacetime gene technology equally among more angels, such as giving every angel spacetime wings.
Liang Bing believes that instead of wasting resources on ordinary angels, it would be better to concentrate all those resources on one god to create an unparalleled and great god.
Unable to reach an agreement, she preserved the crystallization of the spacetime genes, waiting for a suitable divine body to appear.
Seeing this, Li Yao understood.
It turns out that the seeds of the ideological differences between Keisha and Liang Bing were sown long ago.
Keisha prefers to develop the entire civilization together, leaving no one behind and ensuring that no one is left behind, so that the angels can progress together.
Liang Bing, on the other hand, leans more towards the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, believing that only the strong deserve resources, while the weak can only fend for themselves.
Compared to Liang Bing's extreme elitism, Li Yao agrees more with Keisha's concept of common development.
While this idea may seem somewhat idealistic, it is due to the constraint of limited resources.
Today, times have changed.
He now possesses a void controller, enabling him to access unlimited resources.
This fully satisfies the two conditions of highly developed social productivity and extremely abundant material wealth.
In the future, he will upgrade the divine body of every angel, arm them with spacetime genes, and arm them with the super genes of the three major god-making projects.
He believes that in the near future, every angel can be a time-space rose, a ray of sunlight, a force of the galaxy, or a war god of Nostar.
Li Yao collected his thoughts, entered the contents of both books into the database, and then returned them to Qiangwei, saying calmly:
"Then did you know that the underlying architecture of the spacetime gene already contains the template for the angel gene?"
Upon hearing this, Rose shook her head blankly.
"Then do you know that Ge Xiaolun fell in love with you at first sight not only because of lust, but also because of a deep-seated genetic resonance?"
Li Yao wasn't just making things up.
Because he and Angel Yan are somewhat similar, but their connection is more of a resonance from the depths of their souls, only later on, more and more people resonated with that resonance.
But Qiangwei took it as a test and warning from her superior.
She bowed slightly, her tone solemn and firm:
"Your Majesty, please rest assured, now that I am an unofficial member of Heavenly City, I will never harm the interests of the angels for any personal gain."
Seeing her looking as if she were facing a formidable enemy, Li Yao couldn't help but chuckle.
"You're overthinking it. What I'm trying to say is that the spacetime genes in your body are, in essence, the property of angels."
Rose nodded as if she understood, her tense body relaxing slightly.
By this time, the fighting outside had also subsided.
Li Yao glanced outside and then instructed, "You all wait here for now, and then return to Tiancheng with me later."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The two quickly got into character, bowing respectfully in unison.
Seeing this, Li Yao couldn't help but smile. He had always admired such pragmatic people.
Without saying another word, he raised his hand to open a wormhole, stepped inside, and his figure instantly disappeared from the command center.
When it reappeared, it was already in space outside of Devil One.
Alan flew to him and reported:
"My lord, the demon legion put up a stubborn resistance, and none of them survived. They have been completely annihilated by our forces."
