Karl's Open Scheme

Within the Death Academy.

Death God Karl frowned as he looked at the coordinates displayed on the Great Clock.

The coordinates shown on the Great Clock were located at the very edge of the entire Known Universe, almost infinitely close to the Unknown Universe.

Karl couldn't understand why the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization's coordinates would appear there.

In Karl's view, there should only be two possible locations for the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization's final position!

The first possibility was within the Unknown Universe, or perhaps hidden directly within the Void!

Only the Unknown Universe and the Void could possess enough resources to manufacture those powerful warships!

The second possibility was that the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization's position lay at the center of the Known Universe, but they had used some special technology to completely conceal their civilization!

Similarly, only at the center of the Known Universe would there be a sufficient quantity of resources to build powerful warships!

But the problem was that the results now displayed on the Great Clock were completely different from what Karl had imagined!

The Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization's position was actually at the edge of the Known Universe!

Could it be that the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization had been developing and exploring the Unknown Universe all along?

That couldn't be right!

Even if they were developing and exploring the Unknown Universe, it was absolutely impossible for them to be this close to the edge of the Known Universe!

Karl furrowed his brow deeply, beginning to think incessantly.

But in the end, he found that no matter how he imagined it, he simply couldn't figure out why the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization would appear at the edge of the Known Universe!

Seeing that he couldn't come up with an answer no matter how hard he tried, Karl decided to stop thinking about it and instead began manipulating the Great Clock again.

He needed to send the coordinate data he had obtained through the Great Clock to the major civilizations within the Super God Universe, making these civilizations his pawns to scout the path ahead for him!

Earth, Demon Castle.

At this moment, Morgana was in the control room, planning the allocation of resources collected by the demons.

She needed to arrange these resources properly!

After all, she was someone who wanted to climb the Ranking System!

But just as Morgana was busy as a beehive, the message sent by Karl through the Great Clock completely interrupted her.

Looking at the coordinates Karl had sent and listening to the voice message he had left, Morgana, standing in the control room, furrowed her brow deeply.

Karl's message was very straightforward—he wanted to invite the Demon Civilization to go together to the location of the coordinates to probe the true strength of the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization.

If this matter had been brought up by another civilization, Morgana wouldn't have frowned and would have agreed quite readily.

Because Morgana was also very interested in the strength of the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization!

However, the one who brought up this matter was Karl after all!

So Morgana needed to think it over carefully!

In Morgana's words, that guy Karl was full of malicious schemes!

Plotting something with him, and you might get sold out if you weren't careful!

In fact, Karl might even take the initiative to "gift" so-called allies to the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization to achieve his own goals!

Thinking of this, Morgana no longer cared about the resource matters and quickly opened the communication channel between herself and Karl, starting to talk with him.

"Karl! Don't you think I don't know what you mean?"

"Do you want my Demon Legion to be cannon fodder for you?"

As soon as the communication channel was connected, Morgana immediately bombarded Karl with questions.

Karl's little scheme, as long as the main gods of the major civilizations weren't fools, they could easily see through it.

Facing Morgana's interrogation, Karl, who was in the Death Academy, calmly replied, "No."

"In fact, this time you only need to send a relatively powerful combat force over."

"The real cannon fodder are those weak civilizations that want to make a name for themselves by attacking the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization."

"As long as we major civilizations make a bit of a show and send some powerful combat forces, those weak civilizations will eagerly follow our lead."

"When we actually see the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization, those weak civilizations will inevitably take the initiative to antagonize the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization for the sake of so-called 'fame'."

"At that time, the powerful combat forces we send only need to stand by and watch!"

"If the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization isn't strong, our dispatched powerful combat forces can clean up the armies of the weak civilizations, let the vanished Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization take the blame, and then claim the 'legacy' of the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization!"

"If the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization is very powerful, our dispatched powerful combat forces can establish diplomatic relations with the Cyber Civilization. If the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization is unwilling, our powerful combat forces can withdraw at any time."

"Heh~!" Listening to Karl lay out his plan in full, Morgana let out two cold laughs. "You're really wicked, Karl."

"I think you should be the one to take over as the Demon Lord!"

"Alright, enough of this nonsense."

"Let me ask you one last question—how are you sure that other advanced civilizations will cooperate with you?"

"Everyone isn't stupid. There's no way this trick of yours can fool everyone."

Hearing this, Karl, seated in his chair, smiled slightly and replied to Morgana, "Actually, the answer to this question is very simple."

"For the entire Known Universe, the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization is far too mysterious, far too unknown!"

"And the unknown represents fear! It represents insecurity!"

"So under these circumstances, the more advanced a civilization is, the more it will want to turn the unknown into the known!"

"Because only then can it bring them a pitiful sense of 'security'!"

"So for the sake of that meager 'security,' these so-called advanced civilizations will absolutely join my plan."

As Karl finished analyzing the essence of the problem, Morgana, standing in the control room, nodded.

Karl's move was truly a blatant open scheme!

The unknown represents uncertainty!

And uncertainty brings people a sense of insecurity!

For the development and continuation of their civilizations, these advanced civilizations would ultimately have to join Karl's plan!

Thinking this over, Morgana spoke up again, "Since that's the case, my Demon Civilization can participate."

"And I can even send Ato out to follow your Styx personnel to the coordinates."

"But I'll tell you in advance—my Demon Civilization only has Ato who's worth anything. If you dare to sell him out, don't blame me for turning on you directly!"

"Rest assured." Karl slowly rose from his seat. "This time, I'll send Snow to the coordinates. If the situation goes wrong, I'll have Snow use a portion of the Void's power in time to send both of them back safely."
