Super God: Speak to the ultimate fear!

Chapter 276 The First Meeting Between Nuwa Fengxi and Death God Karl!

On the silent, pitch-black edge of the universe, a streak of dark silver light slowly drifted away.
The next instant, the starry sky suddenly became illusory, and a thin man wearing a black and purple robe slowly appeared.

The "Dark Silver Detector," clad in black, Karl, silently emerged from the illusory space, standing in the silent universe, gazing at the inky black edge of the Styx Galaxy, his deep and beautiful eyes flickering slightly.
Although the Dark Silver Water Droplet thrown by Nuwa Fengxi was very fast, some data still remained. Karl only needed to check it briefly in the Great Clock to find out what exactly the weapon that was used to launch a dimensional reduction attack on the Taotie civilization was.

"I didn't expect that they would develop a weapon capable of fatally damaging a third-generation divine body so quickly." Karl exclaimed silently as he watched the fleeting dark golden light at the edge of the Styx Galaxy.

Although the Dark Silver Droplet was a detector, due to the special material properties of Dark Silver, it could be instantly torn apart even by three generations of divine bodies. Therefore, Karl had to marvel at the speed of Earth's technological advancement. He had been constantly overestimating it, but in the end, he found that he had underestimated it.

For Earth's civilization, Nuwa Fengxi is like a 'technological divine power' left behind by a higher-dimensional civilization, enabling Earth's technological development to expand rapidly at a speed beyond human comprehension.
“However.” Karl, clad in black robes in the pitch-black universe, looked at the Dark Silver Drop Probe that finally hovered at the edge of the Styx Galaxy. His eyes flashed, and then his figure disappeared instantly. When he reappeared, he was already at the edge of the Styx Galaxy.

Karl, clad in black, ignored the Dark Silver Droplet that had once again fled. Instead, he stared directly at the pitch-black abyss at the edge of the Styx Galaxy. After a long silence, Karl finally spoke slowly: "What do you mean by sending a probe across the entire known universe to my Styx Galaxy?"

"Hmm?" Karl, dressed in black robes, tilted his head slightly, his handsome profile partially obscured by the robes, as he glanced at the Dark Silver Drop Detector not far away.

"Come and place an eye here." Suddenly, a cool yet gentle voice came from the Dark Silver Drop Detector.

Although the universe is a vacuum environment and cannot transmit sound waves, the sound of beings at the level of Karl and Fengxi is a mixed state. In addition to simple sound waves, there are various other radiation fluctuations that allow others to hear the sound clearly.

"Heh, you've certainly planted your eye a bit too far." The black-robed Karl didn't care that Feng Xi's Dark Silver Drop Detector had given the Taotie civilization a major blow along the way, because the gods didn't care.

"Place it further away, so we can know what's going on a little earlier." Feng Xi's voice rang out softly from within the dark silver droplet.

"Heh." Karl in the black robe gave a noncommittal sneer, then said, "The last person to gouge out an eye was Holy Keisha, and in the end, Holy Keisha died."

“That’s truly terrifying.” Feng Xi, atop the Crimson Crow Star, uttered these words expressionlessly.

"Heh." The black-robed Karl chuckled expressionlessly, then shook his head. "I know what you're trying to do, but the power of the void isn't so easy to fathom."

“There’s a saying: when you look directly into the abyss, the abyss also looks directly into you. Although it’s a bit melodramatic, it fits the concept of pollution in the void dimension very well.” Karl in black robes smiled silently. He roughly knew what Feng Xi meant by sending a Dark Silver Drop probe across the Milky Way to the Styx Galaxy. Besides observing the edge of the Styx Galaxy, it also meant monitoring Karl.

“The void is a separate dimension. Under normal circumstances, the void cannot interfere with the real universe unless the dimension of the void overlaps with the dimension of reality.” Karl was not stingy with his knowledge of the void.

"So your Void Era is about bringing down the void?" Feng Xi asked.

"Void descent?" Karl in black robes smiled mysteriously, his gaze fixed on the depths of the dark abyss, his eyes full of meaning. "Void descent means that the higher-dimensional void has descended upon the lower-dimensional reality, but why can't the lower-dimensional reality ascend to a higher dimension?"

"So the Divine River Civilization in space failed?" Feng Xi wasn't surprised; he simply asked calmly.

Whether it's reducing the dimensions of the void or increasing the dimensions of the real universe, these are not things that Feng Xi can decide at present.

"Of course, they failed." A slight smile played on Karl's lips beneath the black hood, his voice long and drawn-out as he spoke: "They chose to pull down the void, ultimately causing the entire Divine River civilization to vanish in an instant."

"..." Feng Xi quickly deduced the two routes of the Divine River Civilization in his mind. After a moment's thought, he understood the advantages and disadvantages of the two routes: the dimensional ascension route and the dimensional reduction route.

The path to dimensional ascension is extremely risky; it's all or nothing, with no way back.

If managed properly, the cost of failure can be minimized by using a dimensionality reduction approach.
So the Shenhe civilization chose the latter, and unsurprisingly, it failed.
"Are you the Grim Reaper left behind by the Divine River?" Feng Xi asked.

"Death?" Karl in black robes smiled slightly upon hearing this. "This is our first conversation. Compared to the childish title of 'Death,' I would actually prefer you to call me 'The Night Watchman.'"

“Or…” Karl, his eyes gleaming and a slight smile playing on his lips, said, “the ferryman of the known universe.”

"Actually, they're all pretty cringey." Feng Xi was silent for a moment before finally choosing to answer truthfully.

“Yes,” Karl in black robes readily admitted. “However, the Divine River Civilization prefers to use code names because high-dimensional information cannot be transmitted completely. Therefore, we are used to using a code name to anchor certain very important high-dimensional data.”

"Take me for example. People who know the universe like to call me the Grim Reaper, but in reality, my real code name is 'The Ferryman.' And because the Ferryman needs to guide the souls of the dead, I also have the code name 'The Soul Guide.' At the same time, the special positioning of the giant clock gives me the concept of 'The Night Watchman.'"

"The ferryman ferries the souls of the dead, so we are all dead, right?" Feng Xi asked calmly, posing a question that could shake the entire universe's civilization.

"Dead?" Upon hearing this, Karl in the black robe's eyes flickered slightly, a few barely perceptible glints appearing deep within them.
"At least in some respects, we are indeed all 'dead' now."

"." Feng Xi, sitting cross-legged beneath the blazing sycamore tree on the Crimson Crow Star, had an obscure gaze.

"Are we the ones who have been abandoned?" Feng Xi frowned slightly.

Did the Divine River Civilization abandon other civilizations and run away on its own? But why was Karl left behind? And why was the Great Clock left behind?
"More or less. Although it wasn't intentional, it's fair to say I was abandoned." Karl in the black robe didn't mince words. Some things are meaningless to tell others, but telling Feng Xi is still acceptable.

"The Divine River Civilization suffered an unprecedented blow and was ultimately forced to abandon this universe and ascend alone. Its whereabouts are now unknown." The black-robed Karl briefly explained why the Divine River Civilization suddenly disappeared.

"Do you even know who I am? And that's all you're saying to me?" Feng Xi asked calmly.

"I don't know who you are." The black-robed Karl chuckled. "I searched through the Great Clock, but found no data about Nuwa or Feng Xi. It wasn't until I re-analyzed Earth's civilization and some strange myths within it, combined with the history of the Triangular Civilization, that I finally pinpointed your identity." "Strangely, within the Divine River Civilization, you are not referred to as Nuwa, nor Feng Xi, nor Fuxi, but rather..."

Karl, clad in black, smiled slightly, his gaze growing increasingly deep and cold: "."

"The embryo of all things' distortion."

"???" Feng Xi frowned; this was definitely not right!

"The data has been tampered with?" Feng Xi frowned.

“That’s how it should be,” Karl in black robes said coldly.

"The Divine River Civilization must have triggered something, causing many data within the Great Clock to change, especially the legends related to you, which have all turned into indescribable ancient gods."

"That's a pretty cool way to describe it." Feng Xi was silent for a moment, then smiled silently.

"..." Karl in the black robe paused slightly, then smiled and said, "Indeed."

Karl instantly understood that Su Wei's "Embryo of All Things" and "Indescribable Ancient God" must be the void's concept of Nuwa.
"So you still want to usher in the Void Era?" Feng Xiqing said coldly.

“Even if I don’t activate it, you will.” Karl in the black robe smiled silently, not hiding his intentions.

"Just like your Earth civilization, which uses the power of the galaxy as a sword of judgment to redefine the life status of those who have been resurrected across time and space, we also need to break the current status quo."

"Only by opening the walls of the world and standing outside to observe the known universe can we understand our ultimate state."

“I don’t care about life and death, or I’ve gotten used to it, but as a Styx scholar, as a ferryman of the Divine River civilization, and as the watchman left behind by the Dean of Space.” Karl in black robes turned his head to look at the Dark Silver Drop Probe in the distance: “I also have my own pursuits, and for them, I am not afraid to sacrifice all the races of the universe.”

Feng Xi didn't speak, but silently looked towards the edge of the Styx Galaxy. Logically, Karl had no problem, and Feng Xi couldn't stop him.

As Karl said, the Void Age is the general trend of the times, and even Feng Xi cannot go against the tide.

"I will not interfere with your process of unifying the galaxy, and likewise, you should not interfere with my process of sharpening my sword." With these last words, the black-robed Karl vanished into the void.

As the possessor of the illusion body, Karl is able to directly access the void and use more advanced spatial teleportation.
In the silent, dark depths of the universe, the Dark Silver Droplet Probe gazed silently at the edge of the Styx Galaxy for a long time before finally transforming into a streak of light and penetrating further into the galaxy's edge.
History seems to be cyclical; the Ultimate Divine River seems to have abandoned the Super God Universe, and the current Divine River civilization also seems to have abandoned the Super God Universe.
In Karl's words, the entire Super God Universe is a giant quantum realm where all people and all data are in a state of life and death superposition. Whether they are alive or dead can only be observed by outsiders!
Karl, the ferryman, ferries all living beings in the Super God Universe. That's why the super artifact, the Great Clock, is in his possession!

Although it's a bit abstract, based on existing real-world analysis, is the ultimate villain, the ultimate evil in the universe, Death God Karl, actually the true hero?

"Things are getting more and more interesting." In the Milky Way, on the star Chiwu, Nuwa Fengxi pondered for a moment, and finally smiled silently.

The Dark Silver Drop Detector did indeed detect void fluctuations at the edge of the Styx Galaxy. Although very weak, compared with other places, the 'void radiation' of the Styx Galaxy was found to be seriously excessive.

"The embryo of all things' distortion. The indescribable ancient god of the past," Feng Xi murmured these words silently, his smile growing ever wider.

Feng Xi discovered some very good news: the Ultimate Divine River also has a deterrent effect on the Ultimate Void. At the very least, the Ultimate Divine River and the Ultimate Void are on the same level. Otherwise, the Ultimate Void would not have such a strange perception of [Empress Nuwa].

"We were already preparing for the worst-case scenario: the Ultimate Divine River had been dismembered by the Ultimate Void, and the Ultimate Divine River was no match for the Ultimate Void. But now, the situation is clearly much better than expected."

Nuwa Fengxi's eyes flickered. From the Ultimate Void's evaluation of Nuwa, it was clear that the Ultimate Void held a trace of fear and awe towards Nuwa.
"And if the Ultimate Divine River is at the same level as the Ultimate Void..."

"And according to the descriptions in the Black Forest fairy tales, [Nuwa]'s status should be that of one of the three ultimate gods of the Ultimate Divine River, the [Mud Craftsman]."

"The loss of the [Mud Craftsman] will inevitably trigger the ultimate divine river's furious retaliation."

In Nuwa Fengxi's mind, there exists a dark forest fairy tale. In the dark forest of the fairy tale, there are three people who can hunt all dark beasts together: the woodcutter, the charcoal maker, and finally the mud maker.

"【Carbon Elder】should be a super energy technology aggregate like Lena, 【Woodcutter】. Although it's impossible to understand just how strong the other party is, at the very least, it should be the ultimate aggregation of all combat units such as Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuang, Sun Wukong, Qi Lin, etc. It is the ultimate hunter of the ultimate divine river."

Now, Nuwa Fengxi has basically reached an unspoken agreement with Death God Karl: Earth's civilization can develop peacefully, and Karl can continue to torment Ge Xiaolun. Therefore, Fengxi is not worried about the safety of Earth's civilization at present.

It is precisely because there is no need to worry about the safety of Earth's civilization that Feng Xi now has to start thinking about how to break the deadlock in the void era triggered by Karl.

Karl must have his own plan, but Feng Xi can't rely entirely on the other party; he must also prepare a backup plan to prevent the worst-case scenario from occurring.

"If the Ultimate Divine River wasn't wiped out in one fell swoop, then theoretically, this would be the best way to break the deadlock."

Feng Xi, on the Red Crow Star, touched his smooth chin, then frowned slightly.

He knew the methods, but how could he summon the Ultimate Divine River?
