Story Role / Major Arcs

Guardian of the Milky Way

Carlos first appears in a black nebula while investigating the same ancient negative energy as Lin Yi. After identifying himself as the Guardian of the Milky Way, he joins Lin Yi in battle; Carlos holds the enemy at bay while Lin Yi creates the sealing formation. Their successful cooperation establishes them as trusted comrades. 89

When Lin Yi enters the Time-Space Vortex to seal another evil force, Carlos remains at the exit as ordered and waits for his return despite fearing for his safety. 90

Protector of the Cosmic Heart

After learning of the Cosmic Heart's transformation into a radiant crystal, Carlos accepts a broader mission: not to seize the Cosmic Heart, but to safeguard it and respect its will. 91

He and Lin Yi defend the Light Point at the Cosmic Heart's core from swarming cosmic creatures. Carlos protects Lin Yi with a magic array, then recognizes the Light Point as a new power connected to the Guardians' mission. 92

Carlos accompanies Lin Yi through the Light Point's guidance to the Realm of Light, where both pass a soul trial. The Cosmic Heart's will confirms that the Light Point contains its purest power and wisdom. 94 95

Trials of Light, Shadow, and Destiny

Carlos assists Lin Yi through the Shadow World and Mist Forest, where their trials reveal that light and shadow must be balanced rather than treated as simple enemies. 96 97

During the Cosmic Heart's light-dark crisis, Carlos initially falters in the dark world born from his inner fear. Lin Yi's encouragement helps him recover, and together they find the balance point that saves the Cosmic Heart. 99

He later stands beside Lin Yi through the Cursed Land, guarding the Heart of Shadow's cave entrance while Lin Yi undergoes its trial. He subsequently receives the Heart of the Universe's blessing after the Wheel of Destiny's trial. 101 102

Guardian Alliance and Later Expeditions

Carlos joins Lin Yi and the Darkness of the Universe after they form an alliance against the universe's emerging shadow threat. He arrives with the Darkness of the Universe to help Lin Yi defeat the Shadow Lord's avatar in the Star Secret Realm. 105 107

After Lin Yi establishes the Guardian Alliance, Carlos helps defend it during the Shadow Lord's assault. Though he briefly despairs when the defenders are overwhelmed, he continues fighting until Lin Yi returns. 108 110

Carlos remains part of Lin Yi's core group during the battles involving the evil crystal, the Heart of the Abyss, and the Realm of Destiny. In the ancient ruins, he participates in the power awakening, helps identify an ancient beast's weak point, and enters the tower trial seeking the Source of Power. 117 121 122 124 126
