Because Mo Mo had picked up some pots and pans at the supermarket in the morning, she still managed to prepare several delicate dishes even though they were outdoors. Liang Bing even brought out a bottle of what looked like nice red wine. The two of them leisurely enjoyed the delicious food and wine under the starry sky.
After eating and drinking their fill, Liang Bing simply took out a blanket and lay down on the ground, looking at the starry sky. Mo Mo suddenly remembered that he hadn't appreciated the starry sky like this in a long time, so he also lay down. Perhaps it was the cool night breeze, but Liang Bing gradually pressed against Mo Mo's body, getting closer and closer, and his breathing became more and more rapid. With the sky as their blanket and the ground as their bed, all of this happened naturally.
After a long while, the two lay on the mat, gazing at the starry sky in silence. After what seemed like an eternity, Mo Mo suddenly asked, "Why did you leave the Angel Nebula and become the enemy of the angels?"
"Why did I leave the Angel Nebula? I don't know. Maybe it's because I didn't want to be suppressed by Keisha, or maybe it's just because I didn't like her. But does it matter? As long as I'm happy now, that's all that matters. As for the so-called justice and evil, and the ultimate fear, they're just excuses. In the end, it's all about who has the bigger fist and who has the right to speak." Liang Bing said calmly, looking at the starry sky.
"I thought there was some inside story, but I didn't expect it to be like this. But you're right, the stronger the fist, the more say you have." With that, Mo Mo rolled over and pinned Liang Bing down again.

Chapter 611 Completing the Mission
The next day at noon, Mo Mo and his group finally arrived at the Black Great Wall's production base. However, the Black Great Wall's production base was not what Mo Mo had imagined. Originally, Mo Mo thought that according to the usual novel tropes, the production base should be located underground in the deep mountains and forests. However, when Mo Mo arrived at the corresponding location according to the instructions, he found that the production base was not hidden underground in the deep mountains and forests, but was openly open for business.
Looking at the towering building, hundreds of meters tall, Mo Mo wondered if they had picked up the wrong map. It was clearly an office building. What made Mo Mo speechless was that there was only one company stationed there. However, it was also possible that the people who built this base had the idea of hiding in plain sight. But when Mo Mo followed the people who came to pick them up and took an elevator down to the underground, this idea was overturned again, because what appeared in front of Mo Mo after exiting the elevator was a subway station.
Calling it a subway station isn't entirely accurate, because although these trains are electrically powered, they aren't very long, only about twenty meters. Also, there aren't many trains here; although there are five or six, there are only two tracks. The person who was supposed to guide them led them onto a train and then left, and the train started moving less than a minute after he left.
A few minutes later, Mo Mo and his group arrived at a place that resembled a subway platform. Based on the speed of the train they had just seen, they were now at least two or three kilometers away from that building. The fact that such a massive project could be built beneath a city truly earned China the title of "infrastructure maniac"!
After getting off the bus, they were led into the base by designated personnel. The size of the base was beyond Mo Mo's imagination. It was a huge underground base comparable in size to a second-tier city. The base had clearly defined living areas, production areas, leisure areas, and research areas, making it a huge high-tech underground city. In order to prevent the people in this underground city from feeling suffocated, a holographic projection was used to simulate a sky that was indistinguishable from the real sky above the entire base.
"I never imagined that you humans had such a huge secret base. You really have impressed me!" Liang Bing whispered to Mo Mo as they watched the passing crowd.
Mo Mo smiled and replied softly, "Although humans are physically weak and have low strength, their talent and comprehension are top-notch. Most importantly, humans have extremely strong adaptability. No matter how harsh the environment, they can find a way to survive. Therefore, in most worlds of the myriad realms, humans are the protagonist or one of the protagonists. As for you angels or demons, in the end, you are just manifestations of humans after they have evolved to a certain level. In the beginning, weren't you just like the people of Earth?"
"Perhaps, but the civilization that angels existed is too ancient, and much of the information has long been lost in the river of history and cannot be verified. However, I am very curious about what you mean by the myriad worlds. Are they parallel dimensions? Or the ultimate void?" Liang Bing asked casually, but her clenched fist betrayed her inner tension.
“I don’t know what you mean by the ultimate void, but I think I can answer your question with a saying that the Buddha once said: ‘One flower, one world; one tree, one fleeting life; one blade of grass, one paradise; one leaf, one Buddha; one grain of sand, one paradise; one place, one pure land; one smile, one karmic connection; one thought, one moment of tranquility.’ The universe is not unique, and the world is not unique. There are countless worlds beyond this one. Would you like to experience the wonders of other worlds?” Mo Mo stopped and said to Liang Bing with a smile.
Liang Bing was taken aback when she heard Mo Mo's words, but then waved her hand and continued walking forward while saying in a low voice, "Other worlds? Forget it, I don't have your lofty ambitions. I have enough to do in this universe, why would I go to other universes? I don't have that kind of free time, so let's forget it."
“Everyone has their own ambitions, and I won’t force you. Consider this a gift for our acquaintance.” With that, Mo Mo grabbed Liang Bing’s hand and then gently made a cut on her hand with his other hand. He then placed a pendant in her hand, and the pendant, stained with her blood, turned into a stream of light and disappeared into her body.
"It's pretty amazing, but what's the use of this thing?" Liang Bing asked with interest, looking at the flowing light that had entered her body.
"It might be useful, or it might not. Let's just keep it as a souvenir." Mo Mo smiled slightly but did not answer Liang Bing's question directly. Seeing this, Liang Bing did not ask any further questions. After walking for another two or three minutes, the three of them finally arrived at their destination.
What came into view of Mo Mo and his group was a three-story building of about two hundred square meters. Although the building looked ordinary, Mo Mo discovered that the surrounding buildings were actually built to protect it. If Mo Mo was not mistaken, this building should be the research and development department of this base.
In fact, Mo Mo and his group didn't need to come to the base. They could have just delivered the items to the building and handed them over to the person in charge. However, they came to the base because they wanted to retrieve Liang Bing's armor. Of course, the most important reason was that they suspected Liang Bing's identity and wanted to check it out, but they were destined not to find anything out.
After handing over the quantum jammer developed by Ge Xiaolun and various data to the person in charge, Mo Mo and Liang Bing left. While Mo Mo was telling the person in charge about the data and operating methods, Liang Bing also completed the inspection and successfully obtained her battle armor. However, neither Liang Bing nor the people in this base knew that when Mo Mo left, he also added a defensive magic circle and an anti-air magic circle to the base (a magic circle that prevents spatial teleportation or transport into the base through micro-wormholes). After all, Liang Bing is the queen of demons, and no one knows if she will turn around and have her demons destroy this base.
They had to drive here because they didn't have air transportation, but they didn't need to drive back. However, when Mo Mo and Liang Bing returned to the Giant Gorge, they saw someone who shouldn't be there, or rather, an angel. This angel's name was Yan. That's right, Yan actually came in person, which was something no one could have predicted.
"Yan, what brings you here? Aren't you in charge of things in the Angel Nebula?" Mo Mo asked with a puzzled look as Yan walked gracefully toward him.
"I've almost finished dealing with the Angel Nebula matter, so I came. What? Aren't you welcome?" Yan said with a smile.
"How could that be? You've come at the perfect time. Taotie's reinforcements are about to arrive, and the final battle is about to begin. Your arrival is just in time to lead the angels of Earth to fight against Taotie with us," Mo Mo replied with a smile.
Just then, Lena suddenly walked over from a distance, and when she saw Yan next to Mo Mo, the smile on her face instantly vanished.

Chapter 612 Confession
Mo Mo now finally understands what it means to be overwhelmed by the kindness of a beautiful woman. Lena and Yan were already at odds, and now they are even more hostile because of Mo Mo. One of them is the supreme god of Lieyang Star, and the other is the commander of the angels and the future queen. Therefore, whether because of their status or personal feelings, they are unwilling to share the same man with others. Mo Mo has a headache watching the two of them at odds.
"You two come with me for a moment. I have something I want to tell you." After thinking for a moment, Mo Mo finally decided to be honest with the two of them and give them the choice. If neither of them wanted to go with him, he decided to respect their choice.
"Alright, go ahead and speak. It's quiet and safe enough here." After the three of them arrived at an empty conference room, Yan looked at Mo Mo with a half-smile and said this, while Lena also stared at him intently.
Mo Mo glanced at Lena and Yan, then casually set up a soundproof barrier before saying with a serious expression, "This war is nearing its end, and I have achieved my purpose in coming here. Originally, I did not want to provoke you and planned to leave after achieving my goal, but it is too late to say anything now, so I have decided to be honest with you."
"I do not belong to this world, but am a traveler from another world. I can freely travel between different worlds. The reason I came here is to experience the differences between this world. Now that I have completed my experience, I will leave. In other worlds, I have more than one partner. I dare not say that my love for all of them is the same, but I can guarantee that I will do my best to make them happy. Now I formally extend an invitation to you. Are you willing to leave this world with me and travel to all the worlds?" After saying this, Mo Mo looked at the two of them with anticipation.
However, to Mo Mo's surprise, after hearing his words, Yan reached out and touched Mo Mo's forehead, then said with a puzzled look, "You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"
Although Lena didn't react with disbelief like Yan, she still looked skeptical. Mo Mo knew they wouldn't believe him without some solid evidence, so he waved his hand and took the two of them into his personal little world, and he followed closely behind.
Although Lena liked and trusted Mo Mo very much, she didn't believe a word he said this time. She thought that Mo Mo must have made it up on purpose to stop the two of them from arguing so that he could take the opportunity to persuade them. However, at this moment, her vision blurred and she found herself in a fairyland with birds singing and flowers blooming. Yan was with her, and then Mo Mo appeared. This made her heart waver.
After entering the small world, Mo Mo took the two of them on a tour and cooked them a big meal using the ingredients from the small world. When all the fragrant dishes were served, they finally believed what Mo Mo had said. However, they were still somewhat unable to accept it. Mo Mo was not in a hurry, so he did not urge them to make a choice. After finishing the meal, Mo Mo took the two of them back to the conference room.
After bringing the two back to the conference room, Mo Mo looked at Lena and Yan and said calmly, "I know you are having a hard time accepting this, but it is the truth. I also know that you are both carrying heavy responsibilities. So if you choose to come with me in the end, I will find someone to replace you. If you do not want to come with me, I will not force you. Think about it carefully. I will not leave before Taotie is completely defeated. You can make your final decision then."
In the end, the two left with heavy thoughts. Three days later, Ge Xiaolun and the others were assigned to various newly formed super companies as instructors, while Mo Mo was left behind on the Giant Gorge. Liang Bing was originally one of the people who stayed behind, but she took the initiative to leave with Qiangwei. So in the end, only Mo Mo, the original member of the Super Soldier Company, was left on the Giant Gorge. Yan also left to gather angels from all over the world, while Gabriel was taken back to the Angel Nebula by the high-ranking angel who came with Yan.
After Lena and the others left, Mo Mo suddenly found himself with nothing to do. Then, a strange scene unfolded on the Juxia. While everyone else was training, maintaining their weapons, or playing ball, a young man was lying on a deck chair on the edge of the deck fishing. However, what was most surprising was that this young man was able to catch fish from the sea from time to time. What was even more astonishing was that none of these fish were less than a meter long. However, after two or three days, the soldiers on the Juxia began to get used to it.
The day was calm and the sun wasn't too strong. As usual, Mo Mo took out his deck chair and started fishing. He had only cast his line for a few minutes when a fish took the bait. However, Mo Mo didn't rush to reel it in. Instead, he let the fish swim freely in the sea because it wasn't a big fish and wasn't what he wanted. A couple of minutes later, a shark that was over a meter long swallowed the fish whole. But Mo Mo still didn't reel it in. He left it in the sea because he was planning to catch a big one today.
A few minutes later, instead of the big fish he wanted, Mo Mo was greeted by Du Kao. Du Kao walked over to Mo Mo's side and looked at Mo Mo, who was lazily lying on the recliner, and said speechlessly, "You're really taking it easy. Even though Xiao Lun and the others have left, there are still other soldiers on the ship. Can't you train them or come and help me out? I'm almost too busy to handle."
Mo Mo remained unmoved by Du Kao's complaints and said, "I can manage training special forces like the Super Soldier Company, but if you want me to train these naval warriors, forget it. I don't understand their stuff. As for you, if you were really busy, you wouldn't be here on deck enjoying the breeze. But Xiao Lun and the others have been gone for over a month and should be back soon. If they don't come back soon, Taotie's main force will arrive."
“They’re back already, they should be here soon. I’m here to pick them up, otherwise you really think I’m just here to watch you fish for no reason!” Dukao replied.
"Oh? You're back? Just in time, a big fish is about to bite. We can use it to make a welcome feast for them." Mo Mo's lips curled up slightly as he looked at the fishing rod that was still frantically casting its line.
Dukao didn't have to wait long, or rather, he had timed his arrival perfectly. In less than two minutes, a black dot rapidly approached from a distance, and a few seconds later, a series of loud roars came from afar. Ge Xiaolun and the others had arrived, and the fishing rod next to Mo Mo stopped casting; a big fish had taken the bait.
After receiving the order, the transport plane slowly landed on the deck. At this moment, Mo Mo finally got up from the deck chair and grabbed the fishing rod next to him. Although the fish was very big, even ridiculously big, Mo Mo's fishing rod was not an ordinary one and could withstand it. With a flick of Mo Mo's fishing rod, a huge fish broke out of the water and crashed onto the open deck with a bang.

Chapter 613 Roasted Squid
Originally, everyone on the deck was drawn to Ge Xiaolun and his group who had just disembarked from the plane. However, when the enormous object burst through the water and crashed onto the deck with a bang, everyone's attention was drawn to it, because the thing Mo Mo had hoisted was both too big and too rare.
"Holy crap! What is that? A sea monster?" A soldier who was relatively close to the behemoth was startled by the enormous creature that had fallen from the sky.
"This looks like a squid, but squid shouldn't be that big, right?" Another soldier next to the first soldier said uncertainly, looking at the tentacles still wriggling on the enormous creature's body.
Looking at the nearly 20-meter-long, almost two-ton giant squid, Mo Mo smiled and said, "This is indeed a squid, a giant squid. Such a big squid should be enough to fill the main seats and main ingredients for a barbecue party tonight."
The giant squid, which usually inhabits deep-sea areas and is mainly found in the North Atlantic and North Pacific, is the second largest invertebrate (after the colossal squid), with an estimated length of about 10 to 13 meters. It is one of the largest known mollusks and invertebrates.
But this is not the limit for giant squid. The largest giant squid can grow to 21 meters or even longer and weigh up to 2,000 kilograms. In order to better detect their natural enemy, sperm whales, their eyes are incredibly large, with a diameter of about 35 centimeters; their suckers are also more than 8 centimeters in diameter. However, because giant squid live in the deep sea, they are rarely known. This particular giant squid was caught by Mo Mo from the deep sea.
Don't be fooled by the fact that this giant squid is lying quietly on the deck like a fish on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered. It is a creature that often fights to the death with sperm whales that dive into the deep sea to hunt for food, and can leave sperm whales that can be up to 18 meters long and weigh over 50 tons battered and bruised. If Mo Mo hadn't already shattered its brain when it was caught, the soldiers and planes on the deck would have been doomed long ago. But for now, it is just a meal waiting to be processed.
"Brother Mo, is this a gift you specially prepared for us? How did you manage to get it up here? It's huge!" Ge Xiaolun, who had just gotten off the plane, was so surprised when he saw the giant squid that he opened his mouth wide. Du Kao next to him was the same. Although Mo Mo had caught some big fish recently, this was too ridiculously big.
Hearing Ge Xiaolun's exclamation, the others quickly came down as well. When they saw the giant squid, they were also stunned. The squid was so big that the fighter jet next to it was smaller than it. One of its tentacles was thicker than an adult's waist. You can imagine how big the squid was.
"I was so busy watching the squid that I almost forgot. Welcome back, warriors of the Super Soldier Company! This is the main course for tonight. Alright, I know you're not in the mood for idle chatter. Anyway, thank you for your hard work these past few days." After saying this, Dukao gave Lena and the others a solemn military salute, and Lena and the others returned the salute in the same manner.
"Hey, did you really catch this squid by fishing instead of just jumping in and grabbing it? How could such a small fishing line support the weight of this huge squid?" Rui Mengmeng walked over to Mo Mo and nudged his arm as she asked.
Hearing Rui Mengmeng's words, Mo Mo glanced at Lena and the others and then said with a smile, "Of course I caught it. It just happened to be when you came back. Okay, you guys go and rest first. I'll go and process this giant squid and make you a squid feast. Hmm, everyone will get a share."
"A squid feast? A grand meal? This is my favorite! Do you want us to help?" Everyone's eyes lit up at the mention of a grand meal, and Lena, being a foodie, rolled up her sleeves and prepared to help.
Mo Mo originally didn't want them to help, but after glancing at the giant squid, he changed his mind. The squid, which was nearly 20 meters long and weighed almost two tons, would probably take him until evening to process by himself. However, with the help of Ge Xiaolun and the others, the giant squid was dismembered in less than ten minutes. After leaving one tentacle, Mo Mo distributed all the remaining squid meat to the kitchens of each ship. However, this was still a bit insufficient, so Mo Mo used the shark to catch another giant squid that was even larger than the previous one. This would provide more than enough ingredients for the barbecue party that evening.
As night fell amid an atmosphere of excitement, the barbecue equipment in the galleys, having been permitted, was moved onto the deck, and as night gradually enveloped the sea, enticing aromas began to waft from the decks of each ship.
Although the barbecue was permitted by higher authorities, this was, after all, a military facility, so the barbecue ended around 8 PM. While the soldiers were enjoying this rare barbecue, a massive space fleet was slowly approaching Earth. At their speed, they would enter Earth's atmosphere in less than two days. However, after more than a month of full-scale production, Earth's equipment level was already sufficient to fight the Taotie. In particular, the quantum jammer used to break through the Taotie flagship's light energy barrier was not only equipped throughout the military, but a large number were also given away to other countries free of charge. After all, China alone could not fight against the entire Taotie legion.
The barbecue party was over, but the soldiers' enthusiasm hadn't completely cooled down. In particular, most of the soldiers on the Juxia aircraft carrier who weren't on duty went to the recreational space that Mo Mo had set up. Even Ge Xiaolun and his group were no exception. However, Mo Mo didn't join in the fun and returned to his dormitory. After all, he had dealt with such a large squid, so he was bound to have the smell of squid on him.
After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Mo Mo was surprised to find that Lena was lying on Mo Mo's bed playing on her phone. Judging from the sounds coming from the phone, she was playing a single-player game, but she didn't seem to be paying attention to it at all.
"Why didn't you play with Rose and the others a little longer after you got back?" Mo Mo said with a smile as he looked at Lena, who had already put down her phone.
"Well, I wanted to come back and rest early, so I came back. I'm going to take a shower first." After saying that, Lena took her clothes, got off the boat, and went into the bathroom. Judging from her appearance, she had obviously made up her mind.
Perhaps because she had truly made a decision, or perhaps because she had been separated from Mo Mo for too long, Lena was particularly clingy tonight. At first, she clung to Mo Mo like an octopus, and if Mo Mo hadn't had enough self-control, he would have turned into a wolf long ago.
Two days later, the Taotie officially entered the solar system. Perhaps because of what happened to Mo Mo before, the Taotie Legion did not launch a direct attack on Earth this time. However, Earth was already fully prepared for war. Even if the Taotie did invade directly, they would not gain any advantage. However, this gave Earth more time to prepare. After receiving the order, the Juxia Ship entered a state of standby. A great battle was about to break out.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 614 An Unexpected Counterattack
The Taotie Legion is determined to conquer Earth; otherwise, they wouldn't have sent a large army to invade Earth even after knowing that it already has its own supreme god and suffered heavy losses in the previous battle. The fact that they dare to send a large army again despite their defeat and heavy losses must mean they have something to rely on. As for what they rely on, Mo Mo knows without a doubt that it is their god Karl. Moreover, Mo Mo is certain that Karl must have installed a void engine for them, otherwise they would not dare to be so arrogant.
Just as the Taotie and Earth were locked in a standoff, something unexpected happened on the demon's side. After recovering and upgrading to the fourth generation of divine body, Ato replaced Morgana and declared himself king. Most incredibly, he even wanted Morgana to become his queen. However, since Morgana had transformed into Liang Bing and joined the Super Soldier Corps, he could not succeed. On the third day after this news was released, the demon and the Taotie suddenly joined forces to launch an attack.
Although Earth's strength has made significant progress, it was still caught off guard by the simultaneous attacks of the Taotie and the demons. However, the demons did not expect that Yan, the commander of the angels, would be on Earth. As a result, the angels suddenly appeared at the critical moment and caught them off guard. The demons suffered heavy losses under the combined attack of the angels and the super team and were eventually defeated and forced to flee China. However, the situation in China is still not optimistic, because both the Taotie and the demons have made China their main target. Most importantly, China's ultimate weapon, the quantum jammer, has not yet been officially unveiled.
Because so many Taotie fleets flooded into Earth at once, even though the armies of various countries had fought with all their might, the balance of power was still slowly tilting towards the Taotie. Fortunately, because Earth had made sufficient preparations in the previous war, although this battle was even more brutal, the actual casualties were not more than before. In particular, because civilians had been settled in various places, the army fought more fiercely and achieved greater results.
Half a month later, many major cities on Earth were reduced to ruins. However, the Taotie did not gain much benefit either. Every city that was reduced to ruins would have one or two Taotie flagships buried with it. The area outside the capital city of Beizhixing was even turned into a warship graveyard, with warships of all sizes everywhere. In a warship that was floating in outer space and was larger than other flagships, several key figures of the Taotie Legion were gathered together for a meeting with irritable expressions.
"Why is Earth so hard to conquer? It's just a pre-nuclear civilization, yet it's harder to fight than any post-nuclear civilization we've ever attacked. If this continues, even if we manage to take Earth, we'll suffer heavy losses. I think we should just use interstellar weapons. Fighting like this is too frustrating."
"No, we can't use interstellar weapons. The forces on Earth are complex and we're not the only ones. Neither demons nor angels are easy to mess with. Besides, there's an even more mysterious entity on Earth. Last time, we provoked that mysterious powerhouse because we used weapons of mass destruction. And my god Karl warned us, so even if we fail in the end, we can't use such a devastating weapon as antimatter."
“Yes, yes, we can’t use antimatter weapons, but the demons have been crippled by the angels. How can we wipe out the resistance forces on Earth in a short time without using antimatter weapons?” After saying this, the Taotie leader subconsciously looked at the tall figure sitting in the first seat.
"Earth possesses numerous super-gene warriors, and because of our last adversary, we've transformed ourselves into large mechs more effective against them. However, these large mechs aren't particularly suitable for dealing with super-gene warriors. Fortunately, my god Karl bestowed upon us the Void Engine, giving us the means to confront them. As for the armies of those various Earth nations, their morale will surely plummet once we capture their capitals. Therefore, I now order you to dispatch all of your respective fleets to their capitals. I refuse to believe they can truly withstand our fleets." These emotionless words emanated from the Taotie King, who had been transformed into a large mech and was now adorned with mechanical wings.
As the Taotie King's orders were issued, the Taotie flagships, which had been hovering high in the sky and only occasionally descending before quickly rising again, began to move rapidly. Anyone in the air would have noticed that they were all heading towards the nearest capital city. Just as the Taotie were taking action, the heads of state of various countries also started a video call using Ge Xiaolun's communication system.
Huaxia No. 1: "The Taotie Legion has already begun its operations. Soon, a large-scale fleet will land in the cities where you are all located. How are your preparations?"
US President: "They've finally started to act. I was about to lose my temper. I'll make sure they get a taste of the earth's unique features."
President of the Russian Bear Country: "They're finally going to concentrate their forces against us? Great! I've been holding back for so long, I've been itching to give them a taste of what mushroom eggs are like."
Huaxia No. 1: "Old Pu, don't be impulsive. We can't use the mushroom-shaped missile recklessly. Even if we have to use it, we should only use it at the last moment."
President of the Russian Bear Country: "Don't worry, I understand that. But Lao Xia, is your quantum jammer really going to work? Don't let it fail you!"
The US President said, "Yes, this is a matter of life and death for the planet, and we cannot afford to be careless." Leaders from other countries also voiced their concerns.
Huaxia No. 1: "How could I make a decision on something like this without rigorous verification? You can use it with confidence. Finally, I wish us a resounding victory and the complete annihilation of the invaders."
