The Annoying Guy Arrives

Within the dark blue isolation barrier, a wisp of dark purple zombie virus slowly circulated within sophisticated equipment.

He Xi stood in front of the control panel, her silver eyes reflecting the data streams jumping on the holographic panel.

"It's a truly... fascinating structure."

She sighed softly, her fingertips lightly touching the constantly reconstructing virus model on the projection.

That elegant posture didn't seem like observing a deadly pathogen, but rather like appreciating a work of art.

As for the origin of this virus...

Deep in the dense forest of the back mountain

The Titan Root II was suspended in mid-air in a "T" shape by specially made energy chains.

The once rampant zombie virus has been completely removed by Cang Yu. At this moment, he is like a wild beast with its fangs removed, and even struggling seems powerless.

The angel Youyue slowly approached, the moonlight filtering through the branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows on her shoulders.

Her fingertips lightly traced the sophisticated interrogation devices, a gentle smile curving her lips:

"Don't faint yet..."

Her voice was as soft as if she were soothing someone to sleep, but her eyes gleamed with a chilling excitement:

"We still have many interesting 'experiments'...not yet completed."

The figure on the suspension trembled violently, and those eyes, once filled with violence, were now filled only with pure fear.

.... .... .... ....

He Xi exhaled softly, her fingertips tracing the gene sequence diagram on the holographic projection:

"It only infects individuals carrying the MAOA violent gene... which is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."

A hint of relief flashed in her silver eyes; if the virus could indiscriminately infect people, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If angels were infected with this virus...

Cang Yu beside him shook his head slightly:

"No, this conclusion is not absolute."

"Hmm?" He Xi turned her head to look at him.

"Direct contact with high concentrations of viral stock solution, or via injection."

Cang Yu's voice was calm and clear, "It can also successfully infect, and will induce even more violent mutations."

"But don't worry, there is a solution, isn't there?"

Cang Yu's lips curled slightly, his tone carrying a reassuring calmness.

These words gradually eased He Xi's slightly furrowed brows. She nodded gently, her silver hair flowing with a soft luster.

"Hmm, that's right." She changed the subject, a look of inquiry appearing in her eyes.

"To be honest, I'm more surprised by the armor system you have. You say it's a creation of human civilization? That's truly unbelievable."

Cang Yu chuckled upon hearing this: "Rather than saying that it was created by humans, it would be more appropriate to say that it came into the world through the hands of humans."

"Oh?" He Xi's curiosity deepened.

"World consciousness." Cang Yu slowly uttered these four words.

He Xi's pupils contracted slightly: "This concept... actually exists?"

"Of course, the world is vast and full of wonders." Cang Yu nodded slightly.

He Xi took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. "My idol...you know so much."

"Yes, I guess I'd say I'm a traveler from other universes too," Cang Yu nodded, readily acknowledging his identity.

There's nothing to hide.

A knowing glint flashed in He Xi's eyes, followed by a slight smile playing on her lips:

"You're telling me so easily? Aren't you afraid I have ulterior motives? After all, I am the ruler of a civilization."

Cang Yu looked directly into her eyes, his gaze filled with pure sincerity and trust:

"I trust my gut feeling—and it tells me you won't."

Being stared at so openly by him, He Xi felt her cheeks burning slightly and unconsciously looked away.

Upon seeing this, Cang Yu's lips curled into a faint smile.

Just kidding, the answer lies within yourself. How could you possibly get it wrong if you copied the answer?

Just then, the doorbell rang abruptly, breaking the barely perceptible, ambiguous atmosphere inside.

He Xi frowned unhappily.

Damn it, who ruined my plans!

Cang Yu casually pulled up the surveillance footage outside the door, and saw Du Kao with Lian Feng and Lena.

And a monkey-like figure with a pointed snout and wearing sunglasses was standing in front of the villa.

"They're from the Super God Academy..." He Xi understood immediately with just a glance. "Are they here for that little girl named Rose?"

"Heh, whatever their reasons for coming, I have no good feelings towards them," Cang Yu scoffed.

"I'll go see what Dukao is up to."

He Xi nodded: "Then I won't go up."

Cang Yu nodded in acknowledgment, turned and left the basement, heading towards the first floor.

Meanwhile, outside the villa gate.

As he stared at the motionless door, Dukao's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Is no one home?" Lena wondered, tilting her head.

"Heh," Sun Wukong, wearing sunglasses, scoffed, "I'm afraid some people are just feeling guilty and dare not show their faces!"

He cracked his knuckles, eager to try: "Old Du, since they're not going to appreciate it, shall we just be direct?"

As he spoke, he made a move to break down the door and enter.

Dukao remained silent—clearly, this attitude of being ignored displeased even to the "war maniac".

Lena, on the other hand, seemed completely unconcerned; she was just there to watch the show.

"Wait—" Lianfeng was about to dissuade him.

"Squeak—"

The villa gate opened by itself, as if it were waiting for guests.

The group exchanged glances and then stepped inside.

The living room was softly lit, and Cang Yu was leisurely leaning back on the main sofa.

Dice curled up beside him, her eyes glued to the television screen; Rose sat quietly beside him, her posture exuding natural intimacy.

On the other side of the sofa, the three angels, Yan, A-Zhui, and You-Yue, were sitting upright.

As he entered the villa, Dukao's eyes were constantly observing...

He frowned upon seeing Angel Yan and the other two, then noticed Rose sitting next to Cang Yu...

"Du Qiangwei! Do you even see me as your father anymore?!"

Dukao immediately spoke to Rose.

In his view, Rose must have been misled by someone to not believe him.

But he dared not say it out loud; after all, he was Rose's 'father,' and if he could just explain it to her properly, she would surely understand his 'good intentions.'

Cang Yu sat silently, knowing that Rose would respond personally.

Sure enough, before Dukao could finish speaking, Rose's icy voice rang out:

"Father?" A mocking smile played on her lips. "That word is both familiar and strange."

She slowly rose and spoke clearly, word by word:

"General Dukao, my name is Rose—without Du."

Dukao's face instantly turned ashen.

Lianfeng behind him sighed softly, her eyes filled with helplessness.

Lena blinked with interest, looking on with anticipation for a good show.

Sun Wukong stepped forward, patted Dukao on the shoulder with a grin, and said:

"Old Du, it seems there's something wrong with your methods of raising children?"
