The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens

Chapter 160 Guess if there are any life-bearing planets?

"Your men are all finished, and you're still so arrogant?" Xing frowned.

"I'm just stating a fact."

"Really? I don't believe it." Star's bat, wreathed in destructive power, charged toward Karl.

“His true illusory body should be hidden in the void dimension, and what is in the main world is just a projection…” Walter did not stop Xing’s attempt, but reminded him and shared his guess about Karl’s illusory body.

Carl remained unmoved despite the star's attacks.

Xing's attack passed through Karl, but Xing felt as if it had hit nothing.

Brute force alone is unlikely to break through space. How much power do stars exert in the universe?
Besides the envoy, how many people can compare to him?

It still doesn't affect the space at all.

To break through spatial limitations, one needs to understand and master space.

However, Xing clearly had little understanding of space, and even when attacking space, only a small portion of the power could penetrate it.

After being split into different dimensional spaces, it poses virtually no threat to Karl.

"Back in the day, the Silver Wings of Holy Keisha severely injured me, but when I gave up on confronting her head-on, even the so-called King of Gods was helpless against me and could only compromise and reach an agreement with me." Karl ignored Xing and proudly recounted his achievements.

In his view, although these people want to kill him now, they will eventually have to compromise, just like Keisha.

"He's so smug even though he's never won. He's shameless," March 7 muttered, drawing his sword and stepping forward to give it a try.

Meng Huaifeng pointed his phone at Karl, looking at Karl's handsome face, and could predict that the score would definitely not be low.

Therefore, Meng Huaifeng did not use the original skill affected by pleasure, but instead used a pirated Soul-Capturing Camera.

"Click."

A photograph fell in front of Meng Huaifeng.

Karl frowned slightly. He clearly sensed that the photograph and his phantom body had formed some unknown connection.

The cautious Karl used the computing power of the Great Clock to stabilize his phantom body.

Meng Huaifeng frowned as he looked at Karl's photo.

Perhaps because of the difference in dimensions, Carl's photos appear extremely ethereal, and the soul-capturing effect is clearly not very good.

The Soul-Capturing Camera appears to target spirits, but in reality, those who actively become spirits are far stronger than ordinary people in terms of mental strength, attack, and defense.

They have more ways to resist the Soul-Stealing Camera, and the damage from the Soul-Stealing Camera is not serious compared to their powerful spirits.

On the contrary, the Soul-Capturing Camera is most effective when dealing with mentally vulnerable targets.

Meng Huaifeng tore up the photo, and Carl's projection dimmed slightly before returning to normal.

“Interesting, but far from enough,” Karl said. In his research on spirits, Karl was confident that no one in the entire known universe could surpass him.

"Spiritual death!" Karl finally retaliated, an invisible spiritual force rushing into the minds of the three.

When an ordinary person is spiritually killed, their emotions instantly fall into a state of stagnation, and their spirit collapses and dies.

"Firewall!" Meng Huaifeng quickly added a layer of mental protection for Xing and March 7th.

The firewall was forcibly breached by the massive computing power of the Big Clock and the Void Algorithm, but little power remained.

Meng Huaifeng felt down for a moment, but then returned to normal.

March 7th and Xing's spiritual power was stronger than Meng Huaifeng's, and after being buffered by the firewall, they were also unaffected.

"Void Erosion".

The void energy erupted beneath the three of them, but was firmly isolated by the protective shield of the stars. The void's corrosive effect on all things had no effect on this shield!
Karl pursed his lips. The power emanating from these visitors from the unknown universe was unanalyzable, and many methods, such as the definition of the void, could not be used.

Forget it, I admit I'm weak in attack; I can't even hurt the three weakest ones.

But aren't they helpless even with themselves?
draw!

Meng Huaifeng put away his phone and took out the Phantom Gun.

If tens of thousands of photos were taken and torn up together, it might severely injure or even kill Carl.

But it was clear that Carl, who could perceive the effect of the photograph, would not allow Meng Huaifeng to take the picture.

This method won't work.

"Ether editing, power of the void. Adding rules, tracing back to the source!"

Meng Huaifeng's expression changed slightly. The consumption was enormous, far greater than the ineffectiveness of firearms.

There are many ways to render firearms ineffective, but at its core, it comes down to powerful rules.

If the Phantom Gun materializes, it will run out of energy in less than ten seconds.

Karl, who was being attacked by Xing and March 7, paid no attention to Meng Huaifeng's attack.

However, the projection flickered violently the next second and became illusory.

Before Meng Huaifeng could launch a second attack, Karl's projection vanished instantly and reappeared thousands of meters away.

"A very strange attack. It didn't break through the dimension, yet it hit me. I really want to study it." Karl looked at Meng Huaifeng with some enthusiasm.

"How did Huaifeng beat him? I want to have it too." Xing looked at Meng Huaifeng expectantly.

“Etheric editing, my own energy won’t reject my editing of myself, but if I let you edit, your stronger energy will accelerate the real-world correction of the editing effect, and my consumption will be several times greater, which I can’t sustain,” Meng Huaifeng shook his head and said.

Editing Walter and Danheng would consume even more resources.

Xing looked away in disappointment.

Quantum leap.

Meng Huaifeng appeared in front of Karl, but Karl's projection disappeared instantly and reappeared thousands of meters away.

The teleportation of a spirit is much faster than Meng Huaifeng's quantum leap!
The jump channel opened, but Meng Huaifeng did not enter.

Instead, he thrust the phantom gun inside.

A quantum portal appeared behind Karl, from which the tip of the Phantom Gun emerged and stabbed towards Karl.

Karl kept flashing, but the Phantom Gun, like a leech, kept appearing around Karl's projection from all directions.

"Go! Huaifeng, go! Kill him!" March 7th shouted.

A few minutes later, Meng Huaifeng, his face somewhat pale, put away his gun.

"Why did Huaifeng stop?" March 7 asked in confusion.

"...It's quite taxing," Meng Huaifeng said helplessly.

Meng Huaifeng only materializes the Phantom Gun the instant it hits, and even so, considering the energy consumption during the illusory phase, it's almost at its limit after a few minutes.

You should always reserve some energy just in case, but you can't use it all up either.

Karl's now much more illusory projection reappeared before everyone and began to return to normal at a visible speed.

“If they possessed this attack, they might actually be able to kill me.” Karl glanced at Walter and Danheng, “But unfortunately, your strength is still lacking.” Meng Huaifeng glared at Karl.

Xing looked at Walter: "Uncle Yang, what should we do?"

"His condition is somewhat similar to that of the Memoirs, and you all know how troublesome the Memoirs are. They exist in the form of 'memes,' are not bound by material limits, and freely travel through the various realms of the stars. Even the Commanders would find it difficult to catch them unless they actively come to you."

“Of course, Karl’s illusionary body is far inferior to the Memoir Body of the Memory Maker, but he should be able to teleport rapidly in the void dimension,” Walter said, frowning.

"This is so difficult, Uncle Yang, do you have any ideas?" March 7 asked anxiously. Even the kind-hearted March 7 rarely felt such a strong urge to kill Karl.

Walter glanced at Meng Huaifeng, who understood and used telepathy to link the train sets.

Learning from the experience of being overheard by He Xi in the Angel Nebula, Meng Huaifeng added another layer of firewall using EtherEdit.

"Don't worry, it's not easy to solve now just because we haven't anchored the dimensional coordinates of the void dimension yet. Once we anchor the void dimension, we can naturally solve it," Walter thought confidently.

"If what Mr. Walter said is true, then what we see in front of us is just a projection of him in the main world. Since it is a projection, it can certainly be turned off. Without the projection showing his location in the void dimension, how can we attack his phantom in the void dimension?" Dan Heng asked.

The fact that Karl was constantly entangled with Meng Huaifeng shows that in Karl's mind, although Meng Huaifeng's attacks could hurt him, they obviously did not threaten his life, so he didn't care.

Although he was furious, it was the truth. Meng Huaifeng gritted his teeth.

"I have the power of preservation to protect me, and the power of expansion to adapt, so I should be able to force my way into the void dimension, right?" Xing couldn't wait to go in and drag Karl out.

“It’s good that you can go in, but you have physical limitations. Your speed in the void dimension can’t possibly exceed the teleportation speed of Karl’s illusionary body,” Dan Heng said, shaking his head.

"Then we can't do anything to him?" March 7th's eyes widened slightly, and he said unwillingly.

"Well, I have some knowledge of spirits, but I wouldn't dare say I'm very strong. However, Karl's phantom form has quite a few flaws, and his own strength is only average. Entering the void dimension to deal with him shouldn't be a big problem," Walter said modestly.

"Wow, Uncle Yang, you even know this? That's amazing!" March 7th looked at Walter with admiration.

"With more experience, you understand a lot of things to some extent."

Amidst the astonished and admiring gazes of the four, Walter tried his best to appear calm, but the slight upturn of his lips still let Meng Huaifeng know that he actually somewhat enjoyed the feeling of being a saint in front of others.

But does Uncle Yang also understand spirits?
Could it be that by doing so many sit-ups, one naturally learns to do them without any instruction?

"Then let's hurry up and find Sister Himeko to study that void dimension coordinate thing," March 7 said impatiently.

“Why go through all that trouble? Didn’t Karl say that Queen Keisha once severely injured him? The angels also have some knowledge of the void, so why not just ask them directly?” Meng Huaifeng said.

“That makes sense. I’ll leave this task to you,” said March 7.

Meng Huaifeng didn't waste any time and contacted Angel Yan directly.

"Little one, why did you suddenly think of contacting your sister? Is it because after I left you finally discovered the beauty of angels, and couldn't sleep at night, unable to stop thinking about your sister?" Yan's teasing voice rang out.

"Help me contact your Queen Keisha." Meng Huaifeng's tone was completely unwavering.

The more you react to this old driver, the more excited she becomes.

"Is this how you ask your sister for a favor? Call me 'good sister,' and I'll help you make the connection."

"It's serious business, about Death God Karl."

"This is boring. Let's wait." Yan said, somewhat disappointed.

Soon, the majestic voice of Angel Queen Keisha rang out: "Meng Huaifeng, what do you want with me?"

“We need coordinates in the void dimension,” Meng Huaifeng said.

"What do you want to do?" Keisha sat up straight, her voice becoming even sterner.

Do they also want to study the void? Could this lead to the void arriving prematurely?

"Here's the thing, Karl's phantom is hiding in the void dimension. We need the coordinates of the void dimension to completely eliminate him..." Meng Huaifeng explained.

“…I need to confirm this with my own eyes. Give me your network authorization.” Keisha said after a moment of silence.

Meng Huaifeng nodded in agreement, and after receiving authorization, Keisha's projection appeared beside the train crew.

After exchanging greetings, Keisha looked around.

"This is... Deathsong Academy?" Keisha asked uncertainly, looking at the nearly shattered planet beneath her feet.

"Queen Keisha, it's been a long time." Death God Karl greeted her politely.

Keisha ignored Karl and used her Eye of Insight to gather the dark information from the scene.

"Hua Ye, Ruo Ning? It's better that they're dead. Karl, it seems your subordinates have all been wiped out. You should go and continue being their Grim Reaper. Morgana, why isn't she dead?" Keisha said with some disdain.

"Void Zerg? Karl, you've crossed the line." Keisha glared at Karl with murderous intent.

Did I not expect Karl's research on the void to have reached this level?
If the train crew hadn't suddenly appeared, they don't know when they would have discovered it.

"Luck is on your side," Karl said with a complicated expression. If it weren't for these outsiders...

"Sister Keisha, this guy is so bad, why didn't you deal with him before?" March 7th couldn't help but ask.

“More than ten thousand years ago, he seemed harmless.” Keisha sighed. “By the time I discovered his danger, he had already taken control of the Great Clock. By the time I realized just how dangerous he was, he had already achieved the Phantom Body.”

Rather than saying she realized it, it's more accurate to say that Karl only slightly revealed his fangs after mastering the corresponding power.

"I can give you the coordinates of the void dimension, but you must not study them," Keisha said solemnly.

“Of course, we’re just trying to deal with Karl,” Walter agreed.

Keisha transmitted a piece of data to Meng Huaifeng, who then used the method he deciphered from the soul skill Bluetooth transmission to transmit it into the minds of the other four people.

The four of them were completely unprepared for Meng Huaifeng and completed the transmission smoothly.

A glint flashed in Dan Heng's eyes, and Meng Huaifeng immediately used the original Soul-Capturing Camera to hard-control Carl.

Even across a dimension, Karl couldn't resist the effect of Ah's blessing and made a peace sign at Meng Huaifeng.

Dan Heng instantly appeared in front of Karl, his hunting power piercing the projection, passing through space, and hitting Karl in the void dimension!

Carl's projection flickered like a television screen with erratic signal, eventually disappearing as if the screen had gone out.

Looking around for hundreds of thousands of meters, there was no trace of Karl. March 7 asked hopefully, "Is he dead?"

"Uncertain. The divine bodies of this world are indeed very resilient," Dan Heng said, frowning.

He felt it probably wouldn't be that easy.

"Perhaps they turned off the projector on their own," Meng Huaifeng said.

"I'll go check in the void dimension." Before Walter could finish speaking, Karl's projection appeared tens of thousands of meters away.

“I almost died. Do you know how much energy I used to restore my phantom form? I extracted the energy of over three thousand stars, and twenty-three of them were annihilated,” Karl said, still shaken.

"Do you think there are any habitable planets in the star systems containing these twenty-three stars?"

Dan Heng's Cloud-Striking Spear froze instantly, stopping not far in front of Karl.

If he cannot kill Karl in one blow, Dan Heng has no doubt that Karl will continue to draw on the star's energy in order to restore his phantom body.

A bet on a planet devoid of life?
