The game is about becoming a god, starting with the rampage of Hua Ye.

A tense atmosphere permeated every corner of the warship's conference room.

Not only Hua Ye and Ruoning were staring at Ling, but Long, who was standing to the side, also turned to look at him. Her eyes, hidden under the hood, revealed a hint of nervousness. She was afraid that Ling would reveal that answer.

Without the authorization of the clan elders, rashly taking action would inevitably result in being discovered by the primordial consciousness of this universe. They would only exterminate beings like them, leaving no survivors.

In other words, if Ling were to act on his own, only death awaits him. The clan elders will not come to his aid, and if he were exposed, the consequences would be utter annihilation.

Their mission here will be a complete failure, and they will become sacrifices for their tribe, with no one caring about them.

Perhaps sensing Long's worry and tension, Zero looked at Ruoning through his deep hood and calmly said:

"Not necessarily, we have to wait for instructions from above. If they agree to let us assist, then we will help you defend against the enemy."

But if the higher-ups don't agree, then you'll have to fend for yourselves. The only thing we can do to help you is to secretly intervene and keep a few experts in check, just like we did with Angel Yan last time.

However, that would only tie things down for a very limited time, too short for such a large-scale war, and wouldn't play a decisive role.

At this moment, Ruoning's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and she said with a cold smile:

"So you're saying our fate is entirely in your hands? There's no other way but to leave it to fate? Are you kidding me?"

"In that case, what are we still talking about? Wouldn't it be better to just abandon this war and leave the Angel Nebula? I believe that even if we hide from the angels, they'd be better off than listening to you."

Ruoning's questioning led her to quit immediately. Although Hua Ye hesitated for a moment, he did not refute Ruoning's words, which can be regarded as tacit approval of Ruoning's decision.

Zero didn't offer any further advice. In this unequal war, Hua Ye's side was indeed under considerable pressure.

Under these circumstances, unless they intervene, Hua Ye's final outcome may not be good.

For someone like Zero, investing so much without any return is absolutely unacceptable.

However, he cannot make decisions on his own, so his only chance now is to wait for the clan elders' decision.

In any case, this is an excellent opportunity to both implement the extermination law against the Angelic Civilization and nip the threat of Glenn in the bud.

Once these two things are accomplished, perhaps the blow they suffer from exposure will not be unacceptable; it's all for the sake of the Void Clan.

Thinking of this, Ling calmly spoke:

"As for this matter, I will apply to my superiors and explain the situation. In any case, we will give you a reply within ten days."

"Whether to fight or retreat is your own decision. However, I want to remind you both that the person we're dealing with might not give up his pursuit of you just because you back down. After all, in his eyes, you will always be a threat, and he's not like Keisha who considers the bigger picture."

At this moment, not only did Ruoning fall silent, but even Hua Ye, unusually, did not lose his temper.

Yes! If Keisha hadn't considered the bigger picture because of her status back then, she might have already killed him with a single sword stroke. There wouldn't be a future like this.

Seeing the two fall silent, Zero's lips, hidden beneath his hood, curled up slightly before he spoke again:

"Don't worry, King Hua Ye, you don't need to be like this. In this universe, if you risk your life, no one will dare to bear your wrath. After all, black holes are one of the greatest disasters in the universe."

"Alright, it's time for us to go. King Hua Ye! Ms. Ruoning! I look forward to seeing you again."

Zero ignored their expressions and, after speaking, disappeared from the conference room with Long.

After the two left, Hua Ye slammed his fist on the conference table with a dark expression and said angrily:

"Damn it, do you really think I, Hua Ye, am made of clay and can be manipulated by you? What a joke, I am the King of Angels."

With his roar, the conference table shattered into pieces, scattering in all directions.

Ruoning casually waved her hand, and the fragments seemed to disappear as she threw them away.

She walked over and sat down next to Hua Ye, then said thoughtfully:

"He's right. We have no way out. Either you take back the Heavenly Palace and become king again, or you, me, and the rest of us will face death. Don't think about hiding. We can't hide."

Now all we can do is wait for Zero and his crew's support. Once we're on this pirate ship, we can forget about getting off.

Besides, didn't he say that if you risk your life, even if we don't win this war, we can still nurture the entire Angel Nebula, and maybe even drag them down with us?

Ruoning's words gradually calmed Hua Ye down, and then he said with a resentful expression:

"So I'm really going to die? I haven't lived enough."

Ruoning looked at him with disgust, which made Hua Ye touch his face, wondering why Ruoning would look at him like that.

After a long while, Ruoning finally withdrew her gaze and said without surprise:

"You're just afraid of dying. Being afraid of dying makes you cowardly in everything you do. When you're cowardly, the other side's aura becomes stronger, and you'll be overwhelmed by them when you fight."

If you change this, and dare to fight tooth and nail, you might be able to suppress them. After all, your black hole engine is not just for show!

You are now a nuclear deterrent; no one can ignore you, so you should also possess the aura of a strong person.

Hua Ye pondered Ruoning's words, then asked:

"So what should I do now? Wait?"

Ruoning responded to Hua Ye's question.

"Yes, wait! Since Zero tells us to wait ten days, then we'll wait ten days. Anyway, it will take us more than twenty days to meet the angels, so we can afford to wait."

If he doesn't show up in ten days, we can create a black hole in the Angel Nebula. I believe He Xi and Glenn won't just watch the Angel Nebula be destroyed. They'll be trapped by the black hole, and then it's up to us whether we stay or leave."

Upon hearing this, Hua Ye's expression immediately brightened, and then he said unwillingly:

"So we're just leaving like this? Abandoning the Tiangong space station? How am I supposed to rule like that after that?"

Ruoning rolled her eyes at him and said again:

"Since they have mobilized their entire army, their rear is likely to be vulnerable."

Although the main force cannot cross over, with our Time-Space Wings and my understanding of the Merlo Defense Line, we can still sneak into the Merlo Heavenly Court undetected. Then the Heavenly Palace will be ours for the taking.

Ruoning's words immediately made Hua Ye's eyes light up, and a feeling of sudden realization welled up in his heart. At this moment, he felt very clear-headed.

Looking at Ruoning's confident expression, Hua Ye put his arm around her waist and said with a grin:

"Haha, I love this! Ruoning, you're amazing! How can I ever thank you enough!"

As he spoke, his eyes involuntarily swept up and down Ruoning.

Ruoning ignored Hua Ye's actions and gaze, and said directly:

"If we can get Keisha's armory then, give it to me!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Ye agreed without the slightest hesitation:

"No problem, I'll keep that for you."

Ignoring Ruoning's resistance, he picked her up and carried her towards his dormitory, his hands groping her all the way.

As for the threat posed by Zero and his group, Hua Ye had already put them out of his mind. Now that he had regained the throne, they were no longer at his mercy.

He had thought it all through: what did it matter if it was mysterious or powerful? In the face of the black hole engine, it was all trash.
