Whether it was saving the Demon Civilization back then, or liberating civilizations across the universe from that bitch Keisha's Order of Justice, wasn't that all proof of her, Morgana's, benevolence?
In the entire known universe, who else had dared to resist Keisha's tyranny besides her?
Only Death God Karl had dared to secretly plot and scheme with her in the dark.
Holy Guardian Left Wing: "..."
Seeing Morgana's shameless words, Angel Yan was rendered completely speechless.
How could she say something like that with a straight face?
Since when could the word "benevolence" be used to describe demons?
Let alone used to describe the Demon Queen.
With a slight shrug, Angel Yan chose not to argue with Morgana.
After all this time, she had come to terms with it. Since it was a different world anyway, and Morgana had already joined the chat group, everything was set in stone.
Queen Keisha was also curious to see what the known universe would become once Morgana transformed it after joining the chat group.
Would she judge right and wrong and govern the universe as a ruler, or would she allow the cosmos to fall into a state where the weak were meat and the strong survived?
Or perhaps, just like in the memory replay, after the Queen Keisha of Morgana's world went offline, Death God Karl would draw Hua Ye, King of the Heavenly Scum, into the fray as a chess piece.
The Angel Civilization, the Solar Flame Civilization, Earth's Civilization, the Styx Civilization, and the Demon Civilization.
In this ultimate scheme between gods and demons, which civilization would emerge victorious?
Even though Morgana had joined the chat group, becoming the ultimate victor was by no means an easy task.
What was more, no one could predict whether the Void would descend in the future.
Tony Stark had no idea what was running through the angels' minds. All that occupied his thoughts right now was the fact that Morgana was leading her demon legion over as backup...
Was backup truly just backup?
Perhaps due to preconceived biases, he couldn't shake the feeling that those demons would get up to something else.
Like indulging their vices or something.
Though thinking about it, that seemed unlikely; Morgana probably wouldn't let the demons embarrass themselves like that.
Yet their combat certainly wouldn't take collateral damage into account, much less hold back out of concern that ordinary people might die from the shockwaves of their attacks.
After all, they weren't Tony Stark; human casualties meant nothing to them.
In Tony's eyes, it wouldn't even surprise him if they detonated a weapon of mass destruction and blew up the entire Lighthouse.
They were demons.
They weren't even the same species as humans.
Why would they care about so many things?
Though he felt a bit anxious, Tony had no choice; he couldn't expect others to hold themselves to his own standards.
Time drifted by, and in the end, this war lasted only a single day.
Afterward, whether in Huaxia, the Lighthouse, the Island Nation, or the Polar Bear, White Ram, and Nordic regions, not a single invading creature appeared again.
Though a few still lingered in other nations, their numbers were drastically reduced.
Perhaps the invading species simply didn't possess populations as vast as humanity's, or perhaps they were merely pawns sent by some civilization to probe for intelligence.
In any case, the war did not drag on as long as they had imagined. After a day and a half, it had completely concluded.
The extra half-day was spent by the participating group members traveling to other countries to hunt down the remaining invaders.
Although it had only been a single day, given the sheer number and massive size of the invading creatures, by the time the group members arrived, those countries were already largely devastated.
After all, not every nation had chat group members present.
Even though Madara Uchiha, Marquis Voban, Whitebeard, and Momonga didn't intentionally restrain their power—resulting in many dying from the shockwaves of their attacks—in the end, they eliminated the invaders in the shortest time possible. Compared to the surviving population of an entire nation, the death toll was relatively minuscule.
By comparison, the countries that neither drew a group member nor had one intentionally choose to protect them suffered a far more tragic fate.
There was nothing to be done about it.
They were not saviors; they were not saints destined to rescue the world.
Everything they did was merely for the sake of the mission.
"It's over."
Bai Xuan gazed at the great gate hanging open in the sky, through which no further otherworld creatures emerged.
He had previously attempted to cross over to the other side of the gate, but unfortunately, it was a one-way passage that only permitted entry from the other world without allowing return.
It truly was a bit of a pity.
A glint of golden light flashed within his starry eyes. From the void between heaven and earth, countless mysterious and profound runes materialized, transforming into golden chains that bound and locked the gate shut.
Not only in Huaxia—the otherworld gates outside Huaxia were likewise bound and sealed by golden chains one after another.
At that moment, the chat group's notification sounded in everyone's ears.
[Ding! Interdimensional passages detected as closed. Mission complete.]
[Ding! Distributing mission rewards proportionally.]
[Ding! Congratulations, you have received 1x Enhancement Chance (50%).]
The final rewards differed for each member; this was Bai Xuan's reward.
The chat group's mission rewards were generally tailored to the members themselves. Awarding Bai Xuan an enhancement chance was likely because the system didn't know what else to give him.
With the conclusion of the mission and the distribution of rewards, the chat group instantly grew lively.
This time was far more rewarding than the last. Although many members had participated previously, the actual mission quota had been limited to just a few, with the rest relying on recycling the corpses of Frost Giants for a meager sum of points.
This time, however, was a truly unrestricted mission. Beyond the points earned from recycling their prey, everyone had received their own individual rewards.
Ordinary Group Leader: "It's finally over. I'm exhausted."
Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "???"
Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "What do you have to be tired about? Weren't you just support?"
Tony was thoroughly puzzled. Weren't you just standing behind Uncle Jiu acting as his battery? How could you be tired?
Ordinary Group Leader: "Who said support can't get tired?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Do you think supporting doesn't burn energy?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Shiba Inu head bonk.jpg"
Ordinary Group Leader: "By the way, how did it go on your end? With Morgana's help, it must've been pretty easy, right?"
Su Yunqing asked curiously.
Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "Easy?"
Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "It really was quite easy."
Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "After I killed one monster, I looked around and found that all the monsters were gone."
Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "Not just the monsters—the people and buildings were gone too."
Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "A complete wasteland."
Just as Tony had anticipated, the demons' backup was strictly focused on eliminating the otherworld invaders, completely indifferent to everything else.
Aside from sparing him—presumably on Morgana's orders—there was literally zero restraint in the rest of their attacks.
Richest Man in the Lighthouse: "For the rest of the time, all I could do was use the Time Stone regionally as best I could to reverse time and resurrect some people."
