Known Universe, a certain star system.
Under Carl's organization, all the major civilizations participating in this expedition to explore the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization gathered in this star system.
According to the count, the fleet preparing to head toward the so-called "Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization coordinates" totaled around one thousand ships!
Of them, there were 200 Firepower Ships, 500 cruisers, 200 frigates, and 100 battleships!
Though the number of warships seemed enormous, it had actually been cobbled together from all over by four Secondary Civilizations!
Through the Great Clock, Carl watched the warships floating through space and nodded to herself.
Setting aside whether those warships could fully display their combat power, a fleet of that size alone was enough to destroy an entire star system!
Still, Carl felt somewhat regretful that the Angel Clan had not answered her call to explore the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization alongside them!
After all, with Angels present, this operation would have gone much more smoothly!
Moreover, Carl's objective this time had never been to destroy the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization!
She merely wanted those Secondary Civilizations to serve as her vanguard and help test the Cyber Heavenly Court's edge!
Once the Secondary Civilizations had arranged their warships into formation, Carl activated the Great Clock and spoke over the communications channel. "Please prepare yourselves. Next, I will use the Great Clock to open a wormhole and transport you to the previous data coordinates, helping you swiftly explore the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization."
"However, because the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization's coordinates are rather far from our current location, and because our fleet is somewhat too large, there may be some deviation in the final destination. But the deviation will remain within a controllable range and will not be too excessive."
"If anyone in the fleet notices a discrepancy after the transport is complete, you may pilot your ships to the true location of the data coordinates yourselves."
Though Carl spoke so grandly over the communications channel, as if she were truly making sacrifices for those Secondary Civilizations!
In truth, Carl merely wanted to use this opportunity to record the data changes caused throughout the universe by the large-scale use of Void power.
Not only that, Carl could use this excuse to control the positions of the Secondary Civilizations' fleets and send them beyond the fleets of the Top Civilizations!
That way, those Secondary Civilizations would have no choice but to be the first to make contact with the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization!
Meanwhile, the rest of the Top Civilizations could remain behind them and watch the tigers fight from the mountain!
If the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization proved powerful, those Top Civilizations would help it wipe out all the Secondary Civilizations' fleets, earning their own civilizations a measure of goodwill with the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization.
But if the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization was merely impressive on the outside but weak within, with nothing particularly formidable about it, those Top Civilizations would likewise wipe out all the Secondary Civilizations' fleets, pin the blame on the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization, and then divide up its various miraculous technologies!
Death God Karl's move could truly kill two birds with one stone!
Whether the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization was powerful or not, Death God Karl would certainly not return empty-handed!
But while her plan was sound, she did not know that the coordinates she had previously analyzed were completely fake!
Su Mu had never used the reward issued by the Ranking System himself. Instead, he had directly handed it to Yang Jian, who was exploring the Super God Universe!
Even more dramatically, after Yang Jian accepted the reward and evolved his Third-Generation God Body into a Fourth-Generation God Body, he immediately led his team onward toward the center of the Super God Universe, searching for a suitable location to begin constructing the Cyber Heavenly Court Civilization's "Stargate South Heaven Gate"!
For that very reason, Keisha had not been wrong. Carl and the others' grand operation was destined to end in vain!
At a certain border region where the Known Universe met the Unknown Universe.
Because this was where the two universes bordered one another, it was almost perpetually silent. Even starlight could not completely illuminate the entire border region!
Yet the next moment, a pale blue radiance completely shattered the stillness!
This pale blue radiance was none other than the wormhole gateway opened by Death God Karl through her control of Void power via the Great Clock.
As the pale blue wormhole gateway slowly unfolded across the border region, warship after warship gradually sailed out from it.
Carl moved quickly. In almost no time at all, she had transported the entire fleet of the "Alliance" to this location.
As she looked over the utterly desolate border region, Carl, seated within Death Academy, suddenly spoke through the entire "Alliance's" temporary channel.
"Everyone, with my strength, I can only send you this far for now!"
"For the rest of the journey, you need only start your warships and proceed on your own."
After speaking, Death God Karl ignored whether those Secondary Civilizations agreed or not, directly left the "Alliance's" communications channel, and entered another channel belonging to the "Top Civilization Alliance."
Within this channel were not only the capable subordinates of the major Top Civilizations, but even the chief gods of those Top Civilizations had gathered there.
Seeing that no one in the channel spoke, Carl lightly shook her head and said helplessly, "Maintain the speed of your warships for now. We only need to trail far behind the 'main force.'"
"Leave charging into battle to those Secondary Civilizations."
At that, Pan Zhen, seated in the great hall of Cloud Heaven City, gave a cold snort and replied to Carl, "God of Death Karl, you'd better pray that Blazing Sun gains enough benefits today!"
"Otherwise, Blazing Sun is not a civilization you can bully whenever you please!"
After Pan Zhen finished speaking, Morgana also chimed in, echoing Pan Zhen. "Pan Zhen is right! Carl, you sick pervert, you'd better pray we all get enough compensation!"
"You know perfectly well what my situation is!"
"If this doesn't let our Demon Civilization reap enough benefits, I definitely won't let you off!"
"Damn it, for your sake, I even sent Ato, who was by my side, over to you!"
Listening to the two voices rise one after another in the channel, Du Kao, seated in the conference room aboard Juxia, slowly furrowed his brow.
Morgana and Pan Zhen's remarks made Du Kao somewhat worried!
