A Little Dizzy from the Boobs / Karl the Scapegoat (Part 3)
As the blackish-purple aura of the explosion burst forth, the powerful shockwave caused Demon No. 1 to sway slightly, and the Spatial Rift that appeared later twisted and shattered.
Its purplish-red fleshy whiskers, covered in sharp teeth, swayed wildly, and were suddenly twisted and severed, writhing like snakes.
But the Demon Legion's joy froze when they looked at the first Spatial Rift to appear.
That massive chunk of flesh, thousands of meters in diameter, opened its chrysanthemum-shaped mouth and swallowed the Matter Annihilation Bomb whole.
The Void Creature's body swelled and shrank rapidly, like an inflated balloon suddenly bursting open, scattering purplish-red blood and bits of flesh in all directions.
Unfortunately, the Spatial Rift that appeared first still exists, and more and more Void Creature are being squeezed out from the inside.
"Take a detour! Let's go!"
Morgana's face darkened as she waved her hand and roared as the runes around the Star Fortress below gradually lit up.
Chapter 1047, Section 1094: Just a Little Nauseous About Milk
Woo! Woo!
However, the actions of Demon No. 1 and Star Fortress immediately provoked a reaction from the surrounding Void Creature.
Amidst the sharp whistling sound, the Shagai Insectoid, the first to break through the spatial barrier and descend, resembled biological warships sailing through interstellar space, rapidly flapping their wings as they charged toward their target.
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
At the front of the light-like wall composed of runes on the outer side of Shangqing City, floating points of light lit up, and hundreds of ring-shaped energy cannons composed of purplish-red tadpole characters on the front roared and fired.
Hundreds of purplish-red beams of light pierced the void, like a meteor shower streaking across the night sky.
This dangerous yet beautiful energy surge pierced through and blasted away the charging Shagai Insectoid.
The Rune Matrix Cannon, freed from the constraints of physical materials, is more flexible and versatile, which feels great.
Morgana gripped the Jade Token, slightly opened her eyes, and looked at the Shagai Insectoid that had been cleared from the airway, nodding in satisfaction.
But then, everyone's expressions froze again, because these Xia Gaichongs whose bodies had been pierced were incredibly healing at a rapid pace, becoming even more energetic.
"We can't wait any longer! Come with me!"
Seeing more and more Void Creature appearing outside the large chrysanthemum, Morgana grabbed Kevin's hand without saying a word.
After a short-distance spatial transport, the two found themselves at the forefront of Demon No. 1 and Star Fortress.
Looking around, familiar faces such as the Xia Ge worm, the Giant Devouring Worm, the Flying Hydra, the Terror Hunter, and the Black Goat Spawn are everywhere.
The three thousand Rune Matrix Cannon manifested on the outer wall of the Star Fortress roared one after another, tearing apart the Void Creature in their path.
However, this thing's destructive speed was far outpaced by the enemy's healing and troop replenishment. Before it had traveled much distance, the surrounding area was already teeming with Void Creature.
"Use the Space-Time Authority according to the algorithm I provided, quick!"
Morgana pressed down on Kevin's shoulder and, using the Dark Plane Communication, fed a stream of obscure information into the Guardian Angel's mind.
The man slightly raised his hand and subconsciously did as instructed. The Supreme Divine Power originating from the Infinity Stones spread out through the enhancement of the algorithm.
Instantly, two silver-gray light screens, standing to the left and right, forcefully separated a clear starry sky path from these monster hordes.
The Void Creature, which were originally able to penetrate anywhere, could only create ripples when they crashed into it time and time again; they could not shake it at all.
"Thankfully you were here. All my years of targeted research on the Void Civilization haven't been in vain."
Morgana gazed down at the Demon No. 1 and Star Fortress speeding through the Void Barrier below, lazily stretching her waist, her taut nerves relaxing slightly as she murmured something.
"This is... Void Barrier!"
Kevin deciphered the information in his mind, his expression somewhat bewildered.
"Roar!"
As more and more Void Creature crashed into the barrier, the special energy field around them caused the silver-gray barrier to flicker and begin to show fine cracks.
"I said, stop spacing out!"
"Try the second algorithm with me!"
Morgana gripped Kevin's hand tightly, giving him a solemn reminder.
As the information flowed in, a silver-gray light appeared in Kevin's eyes. He curled his fingers together, grasped forward, and spoke in a cool tone.
"Filter out void factors and redefine the composition of unknown organisms!"
"Concepts added: Known Universe, insects! Mollusks! Mutants!"
"Dark energy strikes effective! Physical weapons effective! Light energy strikes damage doubled! Healing blocked!"
As the silvery-gray halo surged and spread, the incessant murmurings within the minds of the swarming Void Creature suddenly vanished, replaced by intense feelings of anxiety and unease.
Instantly, the enemy troops who had been frantically crashing into the Void Barrier began to riot uncontrollably in a moment of confusion.
The barrier protecting Demon No. 1 and Star Fortress from breaking free of the encirclement allowed them to catch their breath, and the cracks gradually disappeared.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
At the same time, Morgana waved her hand, and the Rune Matrix Cannon cannons fired a dense barrage of purple-red beams, while the various weapons on Demon No. 1 roared into action.
Bullets, beams, dark energy, and other attacks exploded among the Void Creature, creating a bloody storm of severed limbs and mangled remains.
Previously, it took immense effort to kill even one monster, but now their defenses are as fragile as paper and straw. Under the brutal bombardment, the front line has turned into a floating hell of flesh and blood.
"Spatial fluctuations have returned to normal. Short-distance jump countdown: 10 seconds!"
"10...9...8...7..."
"3...2...1... Ignition!"
Buzz!
A strong sense of weightlessness swept over them, and Demon No. 1 and Star Fortress suddenly descended into Star Domain several light-years away amidst a distortion.
Finally, we escaped!
The control room erupted in jubilation. The group of excited, devilish technicians couldn't contain their joy and hugged each other, slapping each other's limbs to express their happiness.
Bang!
The moment Kevin relaxed, a wave of exhaustion washed over him like a landslide, and he plummeted from mid-air, crashing onto the deck of the Demon No. 1.
Morgana spread her steel claws, flew to catch Kevin Angel, and landed on the flagship's deck.
She first used the wormhole to move a blanket over and lay it down, then knelt down, allowing her Guardian Angel, who had performed such a great service, to lie down and recuperate in the most comfortable position.
"Creating Void Barrier and adding Conceptual Strike capabilities, Queen, aren't my two algorithms working quite well?"
After briefly escaping the pursuit of the Void Creature, Morgana pursed her lips in thought, a smug smile playing on her lips.
"Your Queen, I've never understood the logic behind this. Why is the Void Engine specifically designed to target Void Creature? And why do your two algorithms work?"
"On the contrary, our conventional weapons and equipment have extremely limited effect on these things?"
Finally getting a chance to catch his breath, Kevin propped himself up on his elbows and struggled to sit up, intending to sit properly and ask questions, preparing to adopt a rigorous academic style.
Unexpectedly, Morgana casually pried open Kevin's supporting arms and buried his head in her broad bosom.
"If you want to hear it, lie down first..."
Under the Demon Queen's smiling gaze, Kevin finally gave in and obediently nestled against Morgana's rounded chest.
However, the white light catching his eye out of the corner of his eye made him a little dizzy.
"Well, to put it simply, the Void Creature from chaos and us from the Known Universe don't share the same system..."
"Therefore, conventional weapons used by major civilizations are rarely effective against these things..."
"Therefore, only through specific means, or under certain conditions, can we effectively combat these Void Creature..."
Morgana, satisfied with her assessment, embraced Kevin's upper body, gathered her thoughts, and offered a rather apt analogy.
Kevin suppressed the soft sensation that came from the back of his head as Morgana swayed with her body, his brow relaxed slightly, and he seemed lost in thought.
"It's somewhat like a biological invasion; in this Star Domain, the Void Civilization has no natural enemies..."
"So, the Void Engine is essentially a weapon from the same system. Equipping it allows us to inflict effective damage on Void Creature."
"A wide-area Conceptual Strike, on the other hand, involves reconnecting the system, allowing these Void Creature to interface with the Known Universe..."
"Therefore, weapons that can harm conventional organisms will also be effective against them."
"This way, conventional weapons can be used!"
As the Judgment Angel thought this, his eyes brightened, and the fog in his mind suddenly cleared.
Chapter 1048, Section 1095: Scapegoat Karl (Third Update)
To give a more easily understandable example, Void Creature that descends into the Known Universe is equivalent to an Angel in "Neon Genesis Evangelion" who possesses an "Absolute Domain" that can make them immune to or weaken most conventional attacks.
The Void Engine functions like a weapon forged from the same material, capable of penetrating the Absolute Domain.
However, the wide-area Conceptual Strike capability is equivalent to stripping away the apostles' shell, making ordinary weapons effective and causing damage to everyone.
From a purely targeted perspective, the Void Engine is more flexible, consumes less energy, and is better suited for prolonged combat.
His Conceptual Strike capability has a wide range and can dominate the battlefield, but currently, Kevin still finds it difficult to use.
Morgana gave a thumbs-up, smoothing out the wrinkles between Kevin's brows with interest. She cleared her throat and decided to reveal more relevant information on the way.
"Based on our research, Karl and I have observed that although the universe has been continuously expanding since the Big Bang, it has its limits..."
"These general laws apply universally; the regions we have already explored are called the [Known Universe]..."
"And at the edge of the universe, in those dark regions where the rules are distorted, or where even starlight cannot reach, lies the so-called [Unknown Universe]..."
"Our current knowledge is insufficient to comprehend life forms that have descended from Unknown Universe, therefore ordinary laws cannot effectively harm them."
Kevin pointed to his nose and hesitated for a moment.
"But can their life forms be redefined through powers like spacetime?"
"So, you mean bringing all these things to the same level, and then using our extensive experience to defeat them?"
When men talk about it, for some reason, there's a sense of incongruity in it, as if they're belittling themselves.
"That's right. If we were to use an analogy, spacetime is like the 0s and 1s that make up the Known Universe..."
"With this, we can sever the connection between these things and the void, allowing them to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Divine River Body Life on the same level."
Morgana snapped her fingers in agreement, quite satisfied with Kevin's comprehension.
The Demon Queen's fanatical and doting attitude towards her cherished possessions made the Judgment Angel feel a little uneasy.
Morgana's Oldest One preference for inheritors of the Space-Time Gene stemmed from her ability to use Space-Time Authority to launch wide-area Conceptual Strike on Void Creature.
With Kevin around, he's essentially a mobile source of defense-breaking and attack-boosting buffs. If the Void Civilization invades, the Demon Legion's casualties will be greatly reduced.
How could Morgana not care about the life and death of her subordinates and the continuation of civilization?
In high spirits, the Demon Queen, seeing that Kevin had recovered some of his strength, lifted his chin and asked with a smile, then glanced at the interior of Demon No. 1 out of the corner of her eye.
"If you're ready, let's go down and receive the cheers..."
"Although it was only a narrow victory, it's good to win at all. Everyone has been looking forward to this victory for a long time..."
With Kevin nodding slightly, Morgana picked up her Guardian Angel and moved to the control room.
"Long live the Queen!"
The Demon Warrior, who had already developed some psychological trauma from these monsters, were overjoyed to find that their opponents were not invincible and cheered in tribute to their faith.
Kevin, standing shoulder to shoulder with Morgana, shared in the glory, but no Demon Warrior objected.
And after the cheers gradually subsided, Atrox squeezed out of the crowd, leaned on his sword with both hands, bowed to Kevin, and muttered in a deep voice.
"Your Excellency, thank you for joining the Queen in saving the demon. I apologize for my recklessness."
Immediately, the Sword Demon presented the Sword of Command with both hands and made a very straightforward promise.
"You are more qualified than I to be the Queen's second-in-command. Please accept this weapon..."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Kevin solemnly helped Atrox up and waved his hand slightly.
"I appreciate your kind intentions, but even without this sword, I am still willing to stand on the Queen's side."
