Ian emerged from the Neutron Star's core, sensed Zeke's location, and Teleported back to Earth. His figure vanished and reappeared on a street in the island nation a fraction of a second later.
The sudden shift in gravity caused him slight discomfort, but he immediately adapted.
He then looked around, searching for Zeke. Since the distance was too great, he could only Teleport to Zeke's approximate vicinity.
Soon, Ian's gaze locked onto a figurine shop. He had a premonition that Zeke was definitely inside.
Sure enough, Ian walked over and found Zeke hugging a life-sized body pillow, a foolish grin plastered on his face.
Trailing behind him was a beautiful saleswoman pushing a small cart laden with all kinds of figurines and models.
"Zeke, what is this...?" Ian walked up, slightly speechless.
Zeke was immediately excited when he saw Ian: "Brother Ian, you're back! Quick, look at the figures I just bought!"
He pointed to the day's "loot" behind him, sharing them with Ian.
Ian looked and saw Godzilla, King Kong, Ultraman, and more...
Ian shook his head helplessly: "I say, Zeke, what's the point of these fakes? We're people who can travel through the myriad worlds!"
"Sooner or later, when we have the chance to cross into those worlds, we'll just catch the real ones and put them in our Minecraft display case! This plastic and rubber stuff is too low-grade!"
Zeke's eyes immediately lit up: "You're right, Ian, you're absolutely right!"
Then he wiped away the drool that had just flowed down: "When that time comes, I want Fembots, Female Giants, the Slit-Mouthed Woman, Lady Hachishaku..."
Ian listened as Zeke's topic got increasingly bizarre and couldn't help but interrupt, wiping away a cold sweat. 'Zeke's XP is so niche.'
He kicked Zeke in the butt, interrupting his fantasy: "Alright, alright, stop daydreaming. Let's go take a bath."
Ian took the figures from the saleswoman behind Zeke, and the two walked to a deserted street corner. After putting the figures into Zeke's Inventory, their figures vanished from the spot.
The next second, the two appeared at the summit of Mount Fuji.
Then they leaped and jumped into the crater, submerging into the magma.
A few days passed in a flash.
Ian was floating on the magma, enjoying the heat, when suddenly, he frowned, sensing an anomaly.
A powerful energy fluctuation was approaching Earth at an extremely fast speed.
'This energy... should be Angel Yan.'
"Zeke, let's go. The main event is here!" Ian said to Zeke.
Zeke immediately poked his head out of the magma, his face full of excitement: "Angel Yan? She's finally here!"
The two exchanged a look, and Ian nodded.
"Let's go. Break time is over," Ian said.
Their figures flashed and disappeared from the spot.
At the same time, not far from Earth, a golden streak of light flashed rapidly, flying toward Earth at an extremely high speed.
Within the streak of light was a female angel wearing silver armor and a pair of white wings spread out behind her.
This was Angel Yan. Her eyes were currently flashing with golden light as she looked toward Earth.
When Ian and Zeke reappeared, they were already at the base of the Angel International building.
They found Kevin, who was waiting there.
"Old Kevin, Angel Yan is here. Let's go up and take a look," Ian said to Kevin.
Kevin nodded, asking no further questions.
Ian and Zeke Teleported again, appearing directly in the penthouse office of the Angel International building.
They casually sat on a sofa, concealed their presence, and quietly waited for Angel Yan's arrival.
They didn't wait long before a golden streak of light smashed through the office's floor-to-ceiling window, crashing onto the floor and kicking up a cloud of smoke.
The massive impact sent files and debris flying everywhere in the office.
Amidst the billowing dust, a tall figure sat down in the office chair.
The person who had arrived was Angel Yan.
A moment ago, the executives of Angel International were holding a meeting in the office.
The sudden turn of events stunned everyone in the meeting.
The Chairwoman's face changed when she recognized the arrival. She quickly stood up and waved her hand, signaling the others to leave: "Today's meeting is adjourned for now. You all may leave."
The executives stood up and quickly left the office.
Once the executives were gone, the Chairwoman knelt on one knee and respectfully bowed to Angel Yan: "Esteemed Angel, welcome to your descent. This is the first time I have seen... a true Angel."
Angel Yan did not answer her but spoke to herself, "I recall your predecessors saying two thousand years ago that the faith of the Angels should dominate Earth."
"Pffft."
"My apologies, my apologies. I just thought of something amusing. I couldn't help it. Please, continue," Zeke suddenly burst out laughing.
"You... which department do you work for? Why are you still here? You're fired!" The Chairwoman turned her head, looking at Ian and Zeke sitting on the sofa, her voice filled with intense displeasure.
Angel Yan also noticed Ian and Zeke.
She frowned slightly, feeling a little surprised.
Because she hadn't detected the presence of these two people at all.
Her eyes instantly turned white, activating her Eye of Detection.
However, to Angel Yan's shock, her Eye of Detection was unable to read any information from Ian and Zeke.
"Oh? That's interesting."
She then began to read the information stored in Earth's Dark Energy.
Soon, she found traces of Ian and Zeke.
"Appeared suddenly a few days ago... traveling around everywhere... also interacted with Galaxy Power and Noxus War God..." Angel Yan grew more interested the more she read.
'Who are these two people? Which civilization's Super Soldiers are they?' she speculated inwardly.
Angel Yan observed Ian and Zeke, and Ian and Zeke were observing her.
Angel Yan was tall, fair-skinned, and had striking features. Her long golden hair draped over her shoulders, adding a touch of exotic flair.
She wore silver armor that outlined her perfect curves, and the pair of pure white wings spread behind her made her appear even more divine and beautiful.
'Is this Angel Yan? North of the Galaxy, only Yan is the most beautiful. She truly lives up to her reputation. It's a shame she doesn't have animal ears, a tail, and claws,' Zeke secretly admired in his heart.
'She does look good,' Ian commented silently in his mind.
Angel Yan did not know that Ian and Zeke were also observing her.
She increased the power of her Eye of Detection, attempting to read Ian and Zeke's gene information.
Suddenly, she saw an indescribable scene, as if she heard constant gibberish and whispers in her ears, like someone singing and someone chanting sutras.
It was an indescribable, unnameable feeling, a chaotic sound. Upon closer examination, it seemed to contain an infinite amount of condensed information. The more she perceived it, the more fear grew in her heart.
Angel Yan's Dark Energy Computing System instantly overloaded.
For the first time in millennia, she experienced the sensation of fear again.
Her face turned pale, and her body trembled slightly, as if she might collapse at any moment.
Seeing this, Ian knew that if he didn't intervene and interrupt her state, Angel Yan might be in serious trouble.
He softly clapped his hands, and an invisible ripple spread from his palm, breaking Angel Yan's focused state.
"Miss Angel, we are not people you can scan," Ian said with a smile, looking at her. "If you keep looking, you will die!"
Angel Yan was interrupted by Ian and retreated from the scanning state.
She quickly deleted the chaotic and disordered information in her computing system while looking at the two with lingering fear.
"You possess anti-Eye of Detection genes? No, this feeling about you... it seems similar to the Ultimate Fear. Are you researching the Ultimate Fear?"
The Angel civilization's dominance of the known universe for tens of thousands of years had cultivated in them an arrogant nature.
Angel Yan was no exception.
She took a deep breath, forcefully suppressed the chaos in her mind, and summoned the Flame Sword.
Flames burned on the sword, and she pointed the tip at Ian and Zeke.
"Who are you? Which civilization are you from? What is your purpose on this planet? Are you in contact with the Ultimate Fear?" Angel Yan asked coldly, her tone demanding an answer.
Ian and Zeke exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile.
"Since you asked so sincerely," Ian said with a laugh.
"Then we will mercifully tell you," Zeke also said with a smile.
Ian slowly stood up, and Zeke stood up with him.
They stopped suppressing their presence, and a powerful sense of pressure immediately erupted.
Crack... crack...
The glass in the office shattered under this powerful pressure.
Angel Yan felt a massive pressure hit her. Her body instinctively recoiled, and she plopped back down onto the chair.
She widened her eyes, her mouth slightly agape, staring at Ian and Zeke in disbelief.
She could feel that the aura emanating from these two people was stronger than any Super Soldier she had ever encountered.
'This... how is this possible?' A tremendous shockwave surged in Angel Yan's heart.
