"Hilarious. Do you really think I'm the same person I was before?" Morgana sneered coldly. Dark purple flames flickered over her palms before she flicked her wrists, sending the twin spheres of fire hurtling forward. They slammed into the Silver Wingsweapons forged from Dark Silver that could effortlessly slice through energy and physical matter alikeand sent them spinning wildly away.
Seeing her Silver Wings knocked aside, a flicker of surprise crossed Kaisha's face. "You've certainly grown, Morgana. To think you can actually deflect my Silver Wings now."
"You're far too arrogant, Kaisha! What's so impressive about knocking away a pair of wings? I'm going to slice you into eight pieces and gift-wrap them!" Infuriated by her sister's condescension, Morgana reached into her armory and drew her King's Sword, lunging toward Kaisha.
Seeing her sister opt for a melee, Kaisha, having nothing better to do, drew her own King's Sword and stepped down from her throne to meet the charge.
As their blades clashed, Kaisha's surprise deepened. Morgana's current Third-generation God Body actually possessed one-seventh of her own physical strength. It was a staggering feat; Kaisha possessed a Fourth-generation God Body,
and the gap between the third and fourth generations was meant to be an abyss. Furthermore, Kaisha's Holy Body was the pinnacle of Fourth-generation genetic engineering. For Morgana's newly improved genes to reach one-seventh of that power was remarkable.
"Not bad. Your strength is decentone-seventh of mine. You've finally made some progress, Morgana."
Morgana's nose nearly twitched with rage. Her sister was being insufferably smug. In an explosion of fury, Morgana unleashed her new form. Two small fangs peeked from her lips, her eyes glowed a vibrant purple, and eight wings erupted from her back.
As Morgana entered her Demon Queen form, her status screen in Kaisha's Eye of Insight began to skyrocket. Her speed increased dozens of times over. With a sudden blur, she appeared behind Kaisha, her King's Sword leaving a shallow gash across the Holy Kaisha's back.
Wounded, Kaisha's casual, "spectator" expression vanished, replaced by a cold, sharp seriousness. Yet, even with her renewed focus, she was struck three more times before the Sacred Knowledge Vault could compute a defense to block Morgana's relentless onslaught.
"You can block pure speed, but what about the power of space?" Seeing her sister turn serious, Morgana smiled coldly. Her form began to flicker in and out of existence. Her speed rose again, but this time it wasn't just physical movementit was spatial manipulation.
Using these spatial techniques, Morgana wounded Kaisha once more. It was only when Kaisha utilized the Sacred Knowledge Vault to manifest micro-wormhole isolators in the surrounding space that she managed to temporarily halt the assault.
While the battle between the sisters was fierce, the struggle between the other angels was even more desperate. The upgraded Fallen Angels had made a quantum leap in power compared to their previous iterations. Their divine body defense, strength, dark energy reserves, and speed far exceeded their past limits. Most importantly, they now possessed supernatural abilities.
The demon data and archives recorded in the Angelic Vault were completely useless against these new Fallen Angels.
Seeing her angels falling in large numbers, Kaisha finally lost her patience. She had no intention of returning home as a general without an army. While it wouldn't affect her rule, she would lose far too much face.
Pushed to her limit, Kaisha withdrew the Holy Archangela massive construct forged from Dark Silverfrom her armory. With a single horizontal sweep, she cleaved several Fallen Angels who couldn't dodge in time right in half.
"Dammit, Kaisha, you bitch! This is a fight between queens, yet you're taking your anger out on the subordinates? You really have no shame! Fine, if that's how you want to play, don't blame me!"
Morgana wasn't about to let the slaughter of her demons go unanswered. She blurred through the air, killing nearly ten angels in an instant. However, as she moved for the eleventh, she saw Kaisha teleport the remaining young angels into the safety of the Holy Archangel.
With the young angels secured, Kaisha prepared to swing her blade again. Morgana, learning from her sister, used her spatial power to transfer her own people back into The Queen. She wanted to continue the duel, but the presence of the Holy Archangel made her feel like a dog trying to bite a hedgehogthere was simply no opening to exploit.
"Hmph! Kaisha, you bitch, you can stay here and play with your turtle shell! I'm not sticking around. And for the record, I won this war! Remember that, you bitch!" With those parting words, Morgana steered The Queen into the distance and disappeared.
Kaisha didn't give chase as she usually would. Instead, she remained on the planet, her expression solemn. Seated upon her throne, she transmitted the combat data she had gathered from Morgana and the planet to Hexi, the Angelic Queen of Research.
It wasn't long before Hexi replied. "Holy crap, Liang Bing actually upgraded her genes to this level? This sequence is practically invincible among Third-generations. I bet even some Fourth-generations couldn't touch her. And the strength of her demons has taken a massive leap as well."
"I have to say, Liang Bing's aesthetic sense is finally returning to normal."
Hearing Hexi's commentary, Kaisha asked calmly, "Do you have any methods to counter this, you old hag?"
"Old monster, finding a counter purely from data is incomplete. If possible, I need you to collect some samples of the new demon genes."
"Collecting their genes will be difficult," Kaisha noted. "Morgana took the bodies of the fallen demons with her when she left. However, during the fight, I noticed that Morgana's genes seem to have a connection with the 'Jiangshi' of this world."
"There is definitely a connection. In that case, have the young angels collect some Jiangshi before you execute the Great Judgment."
"Understood."
After collecting the genetic data and several live specimens of the Jiangshi, Kaisha ordered her angels to proceed with the Great Judgment. One after another, massive fireballs descended from the heavens, slamming into the One Piece World. Under the heavy bombardment, many islands were vaporized or leveled. Countless Jiangshi and remaining demons were incinerated.
The surface of the ocean was effectively "shaved." Islands that had previously been hidden by protective arrays were now exposed to the open air.
As Kaisha prepared to leave after the bombardment, one particular island caught her eye.
"I didn't expect a fish to slip through the net here." Kaisha gestured with her hand, leading her flock of angels toward the array.
The array, already at its breaking point after multiple bombings, couldn't withstand Kaisha's direct intervention. The barrier shattered.
With the array broken, the interior of the island was revealed. Rows of neat, orderly houses stood in stark contrast to the chaotic outside world. To the angels, it looked like a paradise, a utopia hidden in the middle of a warzone.
As the barrier fell, the powerhouses Qiu Xia had left behind gathered immediately, staring warily at Kaisha on her throne and the host of angels surrounding her.
These natives of the One Piece World had no idea who these winged beings were, but one person among them knew exactly what she was looking at. Tashigi looked up at the golden-clad figure and instinctively gasped, "Holy Kaisha?"
Though Tashigi's voice wasn't loud, it was as clear as a bell to the ears of the angels. Kaisha immediately locked onto her. "Interesting. I didn't think anyone in this world would recognize me." With a wave of her hand, Kaisha pulled Tashigi from the crowd to the front of the line.
"Explain yourself, little one," Kaisha said with a faint smile.
"What... what does Queen Kaisha wish to know?" Tashigi whispered.
