A Backstab from Justice

For a moment, the starry sky was ablaze with color, Kevin, like a human weapon, unleashed a barrage of attacks.

The Six-Path Wings could unleash complex and ever-changing light energy shocks; the Flame Greatsword's Heavenly Blade Judgment unleashed hundreds of nuclear missiles in succession; the silver wings opened and closed intermittently, launching surprise attacks from time to time...

There are also remote-controlled pursuit by the Star Fate Wheel, and wide-area confinement by the Divine Domain...

These basic operations, which are still being mastered, left the ground angels dazzled and dumbfounded.

The thirteen Destructive Laws of the Honkai Imprint, the ten Power of Order on the Crown of Ten, plus the Conceptual Strike and Void Barrier specifically created by Morgana through her research on Space-Time Gene...

Kevin used these attack methods with ease; the dense bands of light left Karl with almost no place to land.

As for the Six Infinite Authorities, which are extremely energy-consuming and highly mysterious, Kevin has not yet been able to fully probe Karl's true weaknesses, and therefore has not yet used the ultimate move of "Snap Fingers".

After all, if this thing doesn't work, the terrifying energy consumption is something even he couldn't withstand a second time.

Karl stared at the myriad bands of light that had shifted away from the spacetime warp of the Great Clock, his eyelids twitching uncontrollably. His scholarly demeanor vanished, replaced by a frenzied roar within him.

Reckless wretch! Reckless wretch!

As Grim Reaper struggled to cope and briefly lost focus, a ghostly green color, interspersed with the impact of the blazing white light, suddenly shone brightly.

"Snap!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the absolute defense formed by the Great Clock cutting through the space in a small area instantly collapsed.

This is... the Time Authority!

As Karl gazed at the Space-Time Barrier that was instantly swallowed up by countless streams of light, this scholar, who had long been holed up in the School of Dead Songs conducting research, finally understood what it meant to be "treacherous in the human heart."

Dry!

The word "friendly," which Liang Bing often used, suddenly popped into Karl's mind.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

A dense barrage of explosions erupted one after another, spreading out like a series of solar flares, forming an orange-yellow pattern resembling a large cross.

A moment later, the light dissipated, Karl, his body transparent and swaying, clutched his chest, slowly rose, his face pale.

The Judgment Angel, barely out of breath, fluttered down, raising an eyebrow and sneering.

"Immortality? I think we should forget about it."

"If you can operate in this universe, you must abide by certain rules. So what if your Phantom Body has thick skin?"

Then, the man narrowed his eyes slightly and flicked his nails dismissively.

"Besides, why are you, a researcher, trying to PK with me for no reason?"

"Tsk, the difference between Academy faction and practitioners is more than just talk."

Karl's face darkened, and his eyes, once concealing their true feelings, revealed a hint of human-like anger.

"I am both the divine river and the void!"

"Under the ravages of catastrophe, this is the correct path for the transition of civilization!"

"Your ignorance will inevitably come at a price!"

The will of the Divine River Body, the form of Void life form? He is probably in the process of transformation...

Kevin seemed thoughtful, but then impatiently picked at his ear and gave a cold, sinister smile.

"You want to grovel before the void? What's that to me!"

"Stop talking nonsense and show your health bar, you scoundrel!"

With a roar, the Flame Greatsword, raised high, transformed into a radiant display of light, Six Infinity Stones on its spine lit up one by one.

The blade of light that had cleaved a giant planet in two swept past, and Karl, his body twisted and torn apart, appeared in another part of the starry sky, clutching his chest and pale-faced.

Whether it's the Great Clock or Phantom Body, energy is conserved, and he will inevitably pay a price for manipulating them.

Therefore, even if he could continuously neutralize the Angel King's attacks and maintain his physical form, he would eventually be exhausted and eventually vanish into nothingness.

Furthermore, as the flaws accumulate, before the energy is exhausted and the Phantom Body can be maintained, one might be cleaved in two by a single sword strike, and one's will be utterly destroyed.

Even so, Karl was powerless to fight back against Kevin's relentless and ferocious offensive.

Seeing his physical form destroyed once again, Karl restored himself by calling upon the data from the Great Clock and then distanced himself from Kevin.

At this moment, the demeanor of this Styx Grim Reaper had vanished; his eyes were bloodshot, and his face showed a resolute and ferocious expression.

"You forced me to do this!"

"A bunch of stubborn and ignorant fools, prepare for judgment from the void!"

Instantly, Karl raised his right hand high, and a ball of dark blue light exploded in all directions, accompanied by a murmured chant.

A stone gate, engraved with bizarre patterns and dazzling to the eye, gradually took shape amidst the light and shadow emitted by the Great Clock.

Chapter 1105, Section 1152: A Backstab from Justice

"Hear my call! Lord of the Endless Void! Starshifter! Solid Foundation! Master of Earthquakes! Conqueror of Terror! Creator of Affliction! Destroyer!"

"The victor of glory! Child of the void and chaos! Guardian of the abyss! God of primordial darkness! Lord of dimensions! Mysterious sage! Protector of secrets! Master of the labyrinth!"

"Master of Angles! God of the Night Hawk! The Ultimate Tip!"

"Lord of the Gate! Pathfinder! Primordial Almighty and Immortal Lord! Ummel At Tavel!! Yog Sothos!!! Followers of Knowledge beseech your coming!"

The prayer, proclaimed in an unknown language, gave the normally refined Karl a frenzied air.

As the ethereal voice grew clearer, the space behind Karl appeared to contain an illusory aura of countless stars and Light Orb converging.

The brilliant light formed a shimmering silver key and projected it onto the keyhole of the black secret door in the star cluster, where it was gently turned.

As the light patterns spread outwards from the keyhole, the dark object slowly opened, revealing a series of strange and asymmetrical steps that led upwards.

At the top of the massive stone base stands a majestic and imposing silhouette.

Behind this thing was an endless abyss, and its face was veiled in a pale gray mask that shimmered with light.

"Boom!"

The energy torrent from the Flame Greatsword crashed against the secret gate, creating ripples that caused the thin veil to flutter slightly.

Suddenly, Kevin's gaze was drawn to the vast and boundless universe behind him, and he was momentarily lost in thought.

The face behind that veil cannot be called a "face" at all; it is more like a reflection of the cosmos, containing endless knowledge and answers.

The Primordial Immortal—Tavel At Umur! One of the key incarnations of Yog Sothos, one of the Three Pillars of the Void!

Karl actually had some connection with this monster, and it's highly likely that he obtained endless knowledge about the void from it.

Because Yog-Sothoth itself is synonymous with "knowledge," and this incarnation of His is one of the few beings capable of establishing communication with the Divine River Body Life.

Even so, once Karl accepts the guidance of this "good one," he will gradually distinguish himself from the Divine River Body Life and become a completely new existence.

It seems that the discovery of Ultimate Fear and the spread of Void Civilization are inextricably linked to this incarnation of the Three Pillars.

In addition, according to the records of the Pangu Clan, behind Tavel At Umur lies the Void Gate leading to the Ultimate Abyss.

So, we absolutely cannot let this guy get out!

Kevin focused his mind, and the six wings of the angel, the Honkai Imprint, the Crown of Ten, Sword of Flames all unleashed terrifying energy beams, shooting towards the towering black secret door.

"Buzz!"

However, the impact, powerful enough to sweep across the entire Fereze Galaxy, only caused a slight ripple in the world behind the door.

With a slight hum and tremor, the torrent of energy sank into the darkness behind this ethereal deity as if it had been thrown into the sea.

Even more incredibly, as the gap in the door widened, a thick, gray-black fog began to spread out.

The jumbled whispers and the grotesque, terrifying figures began to materialize from the ethereal.

Ignorance is the only way out!

"Truth will eventually be revealed!"

Karl faced the secret portal, arms outstretched, chanting fervently, his eyes filled with worship and longing for the dark void.

At that moment, Kevin seemed to vaguely see those familiar yet terrifying outlines through the shadowy figures in the mist.

A polymer of countless Light Orbs, a breeding machine made of fleshy, twisted beings with faces shaped like giant tentacles...

These are the prototypes of the Three Pillars of the Void!

I see! I see!

After several probing attacks, Kevin gazed at the ever-expanding gray mist, seemingly having grasped a certain point, and murmured with sudden realization in his eyes.

There must exist some kind of defensive barrier between the Void Civilization and the Known Universe.

For these Void Creature to infiltrate the Known Universe and destroy civilizations, they need a medium like a summoning spell, as well as a portal like Sephirah.

Even so, conventional life forms such as the Divine River Body, the Beast Entity, and the Triangle Body are able to live and move freely within the Known Universe.

Even if these alien Void Creature were to arrive, they would still be subject to numerous restrictions.

For example, firstly, they cannot descend to their true form and can only control Alt Account or other forms; this can be basically confirmed in the offensive and defensive battles of the Hongmeng Galaxy.

Secondly, their capabilities are limited, and due to various physical defects, they are inexplicably restrained by conventional creatures.

(In the Dunwich Horror, Bubble's two mentally challenged sons, who were afraid of dogs and were descendants of the Three Pillars, were bitten to death by dogs. How shameful...)

However, it's not impossible for Void Creature to descend in large numbers.

The answer is right in front of you!

Using [Yog-Sothoth] and [The Nameless Mist], we will infiltrate and transform the Known Universe, establishing a bridgehead connecting the inside and outside!

Because Yog-Sothoth himself claims to be the "The One Who Unites All Things," and is the 1 and 0 that constitute the void dimension.

Therefore, if we could recode the Known Universe and create a system that allows Void Creature to freely enter and exit, it would be possible.

Moreover, the more perfect the system, the more powerful the rank and energy that Void Creature can descend into; it might even be able to unleash the true forms of the Three Pillars!

So, what awaits them next is the so-called [Ultimate Fear]!

At that moment, Kevin noticed that Karl, who was becoming increasingly frenzied in front of the door, was gradually becoming transparent, and the Void Substance within his body was flowing back towards the silhouette on the boulder base. His brows furrowed in worry.

As expected, Tavel Yate Umr's gift came at a high price.

And you are the medium that opens the gate to the void!

The man took a deep breath. Even without complete confidence of victory, the die was cast. He had no choice but to raise his sword with both hands and awaken the primal powers of the Six Infinity Stones one by one.

Just like when I rebuilt the firewall around the Solar System last time, I can still use this to send you packing!

Kevin glanced back, his mind filled with each face, and swung his Sword of Flames down with a seemingly slow but actually rapid motion, striking towards the void gate.

I reckon I'll sleep for a long time again...

The man murmured softly, his gaze resolute, just as he was preparing to enter another long slumber, when the Milky Way trembled violently.

At the same time, a blue glow emerged from Karl's chest. The Grim Reaper's expression changed drastically, and his body turned into a black hole, frantically sucking and grabbing at it.

However, a hand formed from aggregated light dust slapped horizontally, knocking away the pale blue light cluster that Karl had barely managed to restrain.

And, by sheer coincidence, this thing landed right on Kevin's chest and vanished instantly.

"Why?"

"You're all wrong! I'm right! You know all of this!"

Karl clenched his fists and roared angrily at the fingers and palms that were gradually turning into nothingness and disappearing.

"Kiran, now that you're awake, why don't you come out and answer me?!"

"You're the one who caused all of this!"

"Kiran, come out!!!"

The Grim Reaper of the Styx roared, questioning the vast starry sky.

However, the stars remained silent, and the celestial bodies that had gathered around the secret gate began to disperse one after another, returning to their normal orbits.

The door gradually closed, and the gray-black mist gradually faded and dissipated.

On that pedestal, the faces of the cosmos and stars were reflected, shifting, twisting, and roaring.

"I'm right! I'll prove you right!"
