Background / History

Karl advised Morgana during the early Earth conflict, informing her that Shi Hao’s forces were approaching the Chiwu Star System and recommending that she send someone to Ferezer to divide Keisha’s forces. He had already upgraded Morgana to a Fourth Generation God Body. 23

After Ye Yang nearly killed Lena, Karl had Ye Yang transferred to deep space through the Great Clock and attempted to persuade him to stay away from Earth. Karl admitted that Lena was essential to his plans, but Ye Yang traced Karl to Death Song Academy through an Anywhere Door and destroyed Karl’s Styx Death Song Planet with a kick. The Great Clock survived because Karl had hidden it in the dark dimension. 49 50 51

Karl rebuilt Death Song Academy beneath Pluto and used Void Matter created by Ye Yang’s destruction of nebulae and Void Rifts to mass-produce Void Engines. He recruited Hua Ye as a weapon for the coming conflict, upgrading him to a Fourth Generation God Body and implanting a Void Engine. 67 68

Determined to accelerate the Void Era, Karl sought to provoke a universe-wide war and force Ye Yang to release greater power. He misled Hua Ye about Ye Yang’s identity, covertly enhanced Hua Ye’s Black Hole Engine through the Great Clock, and repeatedly escalated their confrontation. 69 108 112 115 118

Karl negotiated with Pan Zhen while holding Lena captive, then offered him the Chi Wu Engine in exchange for cooperation. He intended to use stars and black holes to create conditions for the Void’s arrival, despite the danger this posed to Earth and the Known Universe. 96 97

Following Hua Ye’s defeat, Karl used Su Mali’s corpse as a Fifth Generation God Body vessel for Hua Ye’s soul and equipped the revived Hua Ye with another Black Hole Engine. 131

When Ye Yang learned of Karl’s larger plans and his threat against Liang Bing and their unborn child, Karl was summoned before Ye Yang and killed. 133

Appearance

Karl usually manifests through an illusory or phantom body rather than appearing in a confirmed physical form. His projection resembles a delicate young man despite the ancient, composed presence in his eyes. 49

• Short blond hair and amber eyes. 49
• Often wears a blue, gold-trimmed scholar’s or hooded robe. 49 50
• Can appear as a phantom body surrounded by blue energy or fused with a nebula-like manifestation. 49 68
• His true body is not clearly established; Pan Zhen identifies him as a Phantom Body. 97

Personality

Karl is a detached scholar who prioritizes the verification of his Void doctrine over conventional morality, political loyalty, or civilian survival. He openly accepts the title “God of Death” and considers researching death and the Void his greatest pleasure. 97

He is patient, calculating, and willing to empower allies while concealing control mechanisms within their equipment. His dealings with Hua Ye, Pan Zhen, Morgana, and Ye Yang are all guided by his goal of bringing about the Void Era. 68 97 112

Despite his composure, Karl is fascinated by Ye Yang’s overwhelming power and admits to feeling excitement at the sensation of approaching death. He nevertheless fears actual Void Power and the unknown creatures that may emerge from it. 68 118 132

Abilities & Skills

Phantom Body

Karl can manifest as an energy-based Phantom Body rather than a conventional physical body.

• His lower body re-formed after Pan Zhen burned it away, confirming that ordinary bodily destruction does not immediately eliminate him. 97
• His phantom form can move through wormholes and appear across vast distances. 50 67
• The form remains dependent on the rules of the Main Biological World and can be endangered by large-scale Void-infused black-hole phenomena. 118
• Ye Yang was ultimately able to immobilize and kill Karl despite this nature. 133

Void Energy and Spatial Manipulation

Karl’s Void-based techniques allow him to manipulate locations rather than merely travel through space.

• He can use Void Energy to relocate the surrounding region of Boke Star, transporting Hua Ye and Ye Yang to a new battlefield. 110
• He can interrupt Ye Yang’s fall toward a micro black hole by manipulating the Void Force Field around him. 112
• He communicates over long distances through telepathy and dark communication. 23 108
• His spatial theory treats spacetime as unstable, allowing positions in space to be changed without conventional travel. 110

Great Clock Administration

Karl possesses high-level authority over the Great Clock and uses it as the foundation of his calculations and battlefield interference.

• He concealed the Great Clock in the dark dimension after the destruction of Death Song Planet. 51
• The Great Clock was capable of transferring Ye Yang and Lena, though Karl stated that doing so nearly caused it to collapse from calculation strain. 57
• Karl secretly installed a backdoor into Hua Ye’s Black Hole Engine, allowing him to bypass Hua Ye’s authorization and modify its functions. 112
• He linked the Great Clock to Hua Ye’s engine at fifty percent, then full power, to increase the engine’s output during the battle with Ye Yang. 115

Void Engineering

Karl develops advanced engines and god bodies using Void Matter and related technology.

• Ye Yang’s destruction of Void Rifts and nebulae created enough Void Matter for Karl to mass-produce Void Engines. 67
• He upgraded Hua Ye to a Fourth Generation God Body and implanted a Void Engine. 68
• He created the Chi Wu Engine for Pan Zhen, enabling the creation of black holes and the use of the Star Explosion Domain even without nearby celestial bodies. 97
• He rebuilt Hua Ye within Su Mali’s corpse as a Fifth Generation God Body and equipped the vessel with a Black Hole Engine. 131

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Great Clock — Karl’s hidden supercomputer and calculation system, used for spatial transfer, engine support, surveillance, and sequence control. 51 112 115
• Void Engines — rule-subverting engines manufactured from Void Matter; Karl can produce them in quantity. 67 68
• Black Hole Engine — bestowed on Hua Ye and secretly controlled by Karl through a concealed authorization bypass. 68 112
• Chi Wu Engine — a 48-frequency combat engine designed for Pan Zhen, capable of black-hole creation and controlled stellar-scale attacks. 97
• Death Song Academy — Karl’s research base, relocated beneath Pluto after Ye Yang destroyed the original Death Song Planet. 50 67

Relationships

• Ye Yang — Karl’s greatest research subject and eventual killer. Karl repeatedly arranged conflicts to force Ye Yang to reveal stronger Void-related power. 49 112 118 133
• Sno — Karl’s High Priest, messenger, intelligence agent, and subordinate. Sno recruits Hua Ye, reports battlefield intelligence, and carries out Karl’s orders. 49 67 108
• Morgana / Liang Bing — longtime collaborator in plans involving Lena and Earth, though their relationship becomes strained after Karl provokes Ye Yang and threatens Earth. 23 51 97
• Hua Ye — Karl’s empowered pawn. Karl upgrades him, gives him a Black Hole Engine, manipulates its functions remotely, and later resurrects him in Su Mali’s body. 68 112 131
• Pan Zhen — conditional ally coerced through Lena’s captivity and persuaded with the Chi Wu Engine. 96 97
• Lena — a captive and a key component of Karl’s plan to open the Void; her importance motivates Karl’s intervention against Ye Yang. 49 96 97
• Space Principal — Karl’s teacher, who warns him that Ye Yang is the Human Form of the Void Terror and opposes Karl’s plan to manufacture the Void Era. 69
• Keisha — ideological opponent of Karl’s Void Era doctrine; Karl regards her as one of the major obstacles to his plan. 68 96

Void Era Plan

Karl believes that sufficiently widespread use of Void Power can accelerate the arrival of a new Void Era, in which the Known Universe merges with the Void and undergoes dimensional ascension. 69 96

His methods include:

• Equipping selected figures—including Hua Ye, Shi Hao, and Pan Zhen—with Void-derived technology. 68 85 97
• Using wars between major civilizations to increase the use and instability of Void Power. 69
• Manipulating black holes and stellar explosions to generate new materials and tear open paths to the Void. 97 116
• Provoking Ye Yang into releasing greater power, believing this could breach the boundary between the universe and the Void Dimension. 112 116 118
• Remaining prepared to retreat and observe if the Void truly descends, as he fears being erased by Void creatures himself. 132
