Chapter 128

"Queen Keisha, I misspoke."

"Just say what you want," Zhang Zheng said, realizing he had seriously offended both Keisha and He Xi. He decided to stop struggling, as reasoning seemed futile.

As for using force to suppress them—well, if he kept going, he might end up losing more than he gained, so why bother with force?

"Hehe, it seems you finally understand your mistake. But tell me, how do you plan to compensate us? Your previous words really hurt my feelings."

Seeing Zhang Zheng admitting his mistake, Keisha gave him a disdainful look but had no intention of letting him off easily. After all, he not only called her an old woman but also stole her left and right wings. Now, her Tianren series warships were also pirated by him, not to mention the destroyed palace.

If Keisha could let him off so easily, she would think she was going mad.

"Ah, well, Queen Keisha, as you know, Earth's resources are limited. There's really nothing valuable to compensate you with. How about I bring some local specialties next time I come?"

Zhang Zheng, now genuinely afraid, could see from Keisha's expression that she wanted to squeeze every last bit out of him. He felt he could be even more humble.

"Tsk, what? Do you still think you can make up for it with a bag of oranges from Earth? Just because Earth has nothing doesn't mean you don't."

Keisha was incensed at the thought of Earth's local specialties, and it was ridiculous that Zhang Zheng thought of bringing a bag of oranges to Angel City. Looking back, she suspected that Zhang Zheng might have fabricated the oranges.

"Fine. I admit I have some resources, but Queen Keisha, I hope you won't be too greedy."

Zhang Zheng wanted to end this topic quickly, as he could sense that Yin and Zhi Xin were trying to dismantle the spatial shield he had left behind. He couldn't afford to delay any longer or it would be even harder to explain when he returned.

"Heh, so straightforward. Fine, I won't make things difficult for you. Since you stole my left and right wings, I want you to replicate the Tianren warships for Ah Zui and Moi. After all, you know them well and have taken advantage of them in Earth. It won't be a loss for you to compensate with these."

Keisha hadn't really thought about what she wanted from Zhang Zheng but was annoyed by his stinginess. Since he was so skilled at pirating Tianren Seven, why not have him pirate Ah Zui and Moi's Tianren warships too?

"Wait, Queen Keisha, how do you know about what happened between me and them? Did you give them orders?"

Zhang Zheng recalled the changes in Ah Zui and Moi today and, coupled with Keisha's earlier words, realized the truth of the matter. This also explained why the two very different personalities, Moi and Ah Zui, had been so flirtatious at his home.

"Hehe, that was a test to see if you could resist temptation."

Keisha wasn't upset that Zhang Zheng had discovered her secret; instead, she spoke with justification.

"Um, okay, you're the queen, you're the most important."

Zhang Zheng hadn't expected Keisha to be so petty. He was still confused about where he had offended her. However, since things had already happened, Zhang Zheng decided not to dwell on it. After all, he had gained from this, and if it weren't for Keisha's orders, Yin wouldn't be his guardian angel. Fate and cause-and-effect were indeed strange.

Keisha had sown the seeds for Yin to become his guardian angel.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zheng felt a sense of gratitude toward Keisha in his gaze.

"Let's go. Give me the two Tianren warships I'm owed."

Seeing Zhang Zheng's grateful gaze, Keisha felt uneasy and began to suspect that Zhang Zheng might have been foolishly duped by her.

"How could someone be grateful when being extorted?"

"Where should I manufacture the Tianren warships?" Zhang Zheng decided to help promptly, asking directly.

"Obviously, you should make them where you pirated them with Yin. Also, open a portal for me. It's too troublesome to calculate on your own."

Keisha was unsure if Zhang Zheng was pretending to be clueless or genuinely ignorant, as he kept asking unnecessary questions.

"Alright."

After Zhang Zheng spoke, blue light emerged from his hand, and an oval-shaped blue portal appeared before them.

Keisha and He Xi saw the portal and their pupils contracted. They exchanged glances, realizing that Zhang Zheng could manipulate space without the Infinity Gauntlet. Both had the same thought.

"Please, Queen Keisha, Teacher He Xi."

After opening the portal, Zhang Zheng looked at the two and politely said.

Keisha and He Xi glanced at each other before stepping into the portal.

Zhang Zheng followed them in.

When Keisha emerged, she saw the Tianren warship docking area, formerly the Melrosian Heaven. Looking at the Tianren 888 suspended in the void, Keisha's eyes twitched slightly. The difference between images and reality was still apparent.

"Zhang Zheng, make the new Tianren warships to the same specifications as Tianren Seven. Don't add any unnecessary features."

Seeing Tianren Eight, Keisha instinctively reminded Zhang Zheng.

In reality, Keisha was overthinking. Zhang Zheng had no intention of making others' versions like his own, which would just let them copy his designs. Zhang Zheng wasn't interested in that.

"Alright, I'll start now."

Zhang Zheng said, and the Infinity Gauntlet appeared on his hand again. With his previous experience, creating the material was even faster this time.

Keisha and He Xi saw a complete Tianren warship appear in the void after a flash of red light from Zhang Zheng's glove.

The second one was soon manufactured and docked alongside the first.

"Zhang Zheng, can you explain what this ability of yours is?" He Xi asked.

This was also a question Keisha wanted to ask, but as a queen, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Well, it's the power to alter reality. In fact, you all have this ability too, but you've restricted it."

Zhang Zheng explained carefully.

He recalled that in the original story, Ge Xiaolun had asked Zhi Xin whether he could eat the male core, and Zhi Xin's response was, "I can eat it, but I refuse to, because Queen Keisha will scold me."

This implied that those with Void Engines could also use male cores after consuming Void Controllers.

"We also possess this power?" He Xi was puzzled. She knew all the powers of angels, having even helped complete Keisha's knowledge repository.

"Um, I may not be entirely accurate, but among the angels I sensed, Yin, Zhi Xin, Ah Zui, and Moi all have this potential."

Zhang Zheng hoped this explanation would clarify things for He Xi and Keisha.

"Sub-biological engine," He Xi and Keisha said simultaneously.

"Impossible. The sub-biological engine was developed by Yin and me. How could I not know its capabilities?" He Xi didn't believe Zhang Zheng.

"Hehe, Teacher, the ideal state is to combine the Void with Anti-Void."

"Activate the Void explanation as 1, negate the Void explanation as 0. Convert from binary to decimal."

"Zhi Xin used this method to develop her abilities with the power of the galaxy. Originally, Zhi Xin could have possessed this power too, but she was afraid of being scolded by Queen Keisha, so she didn't dare to take it." Zhang Zheng spoke with a hint of resentment, glancing at Keisha.
