The player is playing like a god, and has already advanced to Space Marine level at the start.

Ruoning's figure was forcibly pulled out of the space.

She crashed heavily into the edge of the vacuum.

"Yan, what kind of sorcery is this?"

Ruoning screamed, the black short sword in her hand trembling.

Yan hovered in the center, with code streams frantically scrolling across her retina.

The black hole engine that Keisha forcibly implanted is being overclocked.

Every string of characters that flashed by exuded arrogance.

They forcibly took over all the surrounding physical constants.

"Dark magic?"

Yan snorted coldly.

"This is the height you've always dreamed of, but can never reach."

In the distance, Hua Ye's facial muscles were contorted.

He held out his hands in a gesture of support, and the deep, gravitational vortex in his palms emitted a piercing hiss.

The vibrations were so strong they made your teeth ache.

"You little bitch! You really think you can turn things around by changing your outfit?"

Hua Ye roared, straining his neck.

"Compared to my black hole, your computing power is utterly insignificant!"

"Watch me pack you up along with this dilapidated garden and throw you into the void to feed the insects!"

Huaye has entered an overload state.

The black hole engine's power was forcibly pushed to the red line.

Several nearby celestial warships were crushed into metal fragments by gravity before they could turn around.

They swirled and burrowed into the center of the black hole.

Yan held his sword across his chest.

The golden light emanating from his body suddenly exploded.

Her brows furrowed with a chilling intent.

"Hua Ye, tens of thousands of years have passed, and your lines are still so vulgar."

"Aside from having a loud voice, you haven't improved at all."

Deep within Yan's pupils, the purple-gold code flow accelerated wildly.

[Target identified: Hua Ye]

[Hedge logic detected; dimensional reduction attack in progress]

[Hedge against computing power begins]

[Suppression, activate!]

Hua Ye's face froze instantly.

He discovered that the black hole in his palm, large enough to devour the world, had stopped moving.

Instead of continuing to expand, the black hole shrank into a single mass.

A pleading hum emanated from its core.

"This...this is impossible!"

Hua Ye was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead.

He frantically pounded on the virtual control panel.

"Karl said this is the top-tier version! How could it not even beat a plugin?"

"Didn't Carl tell you?"

Yan interrupted his disheveled state.

"Outdated garbage should obediently stay in the recycling bin and wait to be formatted."

She suddenly pressed down with her right hand.

An invisible wave swept out.

This is a devastating blow that transcends dimensions.

Hua Ye felt as if he had been struck on the forehead by a heavy machine.

He flew backwards for thousands of meters, tracing an ugly arc in the air.

The black hole engine inside the body emitted an error message.

The system interface was a deep, almost purple red.

"Ruoning! Where the hell have you been?"

Hua Ye stopped his decline and roared in the channel.

"If I die, you will be buried with me!"

Ruoning's current situation is even worse.

She was frozen in mid-air, still in the posture of wielding a sword.

All the joints in his body were locked by an invisible force.

"Yan... what exactly did you do?"

Ruoning's eyes trembled violently.

She could clearly feel that her proud spacetime algorithm had been forcibly erased.

This is a complete and utter crushing defeat.

Yan turned to look at Ruoning.

His eyes flashed with a chilling light.

"You betrayed Queen Keisha, you betrayed your sisters who fought alongside you."

"Now, it's time to confess to them."

"I will handle your dark data very cleanly."

Yan slowly raised the sword of royal command.

Above the sky, the massive Heavenly Blade Judgment Array instantly took shape.

The blazing white lightning mixed with the dark purple energy illuminated the entire star field.

"No! Hua Ye, save me!"

"I can still serve! I don't want to die!"

Ruoning screamed in despair.

The sound reverberated in the dark dimension channel.

Hua Ye was busy restarting the engine and didn't even glance at her out of the corner of his eye.

"Trial and execution."

Yan spoke softly.

His tone was calm, yet it instantly froze the surrounding energy field.

The towering pillar of light instantly engulfed Ruoning.

There was no explosion.

A low-frequency hum that is emitted only when some data is completely formatted.

Ruoning's body quickly became transparent within the pillar of light.

Immediately afterwards, the dark data within her body crumbled and dissolved piece by piece.

This is a conceptual erasure.

Even the greatest clock cannot find even a single fragment of Ruoning from any corner of the universe.

This former angel on the left has vanished.

Hua Ye watched this scene, a chill running down his spine.

"Retreat! Retreat immediately!"

"This battle is unwinnable, the enemy is cheating!"

Hua Ye disregarded his dignity.

He shoved aside the maid beside him and turned to dash toward the Styx Galaxy.

It was so fast that it left afterimages.

"Trying to run now?"

Yan's figure swayed.

The sword of the king's command unleashed a hundred-foot-long sword aura, aiming straight for Hua Ye's back.

The sword was about to draw blood.

A huge, shadowy hand suddenly emerged from the void.

With a gentle scoop, he grasped Hua Ye in his palm.

It then shrank back into the wormhole that had appeared.

The sword energy cleaved through the air.

In the distance, a desolate asteroid disintegrated on the spot, exploding into a sky full of fireworks.

Yan sheathed his sword, his brows furrowed.

"Karl... he's quite the dedicated firefighter."

"We'll settle this score with interest sooner or later."

……

Kunsa Star, Demon Number One.

Morgana slumped on the Queen's throne.

She swirled a glass of red wine in her hand, humming a little tune.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

Atto strode in, his wooden face full of surprise and doubt.

"What's wrong? Did Hua Ye kill himself with his stupidity?"

Morgana took a sip of her drink, completely unconcerned.

"Hua Ye lost, and lost badly."

Ator activated the holographic projection.

"Ruoning was publicly killed by Yan."

"Hua Ye was rescued by Karl and has retreated back to the River Styx."

"The most crucial thing is..."

"puff--"

Morgana sprayed a mouthful of red wine onto the screen.

"Who did you say? Yan?"

"That little bitch slew Ruoning in a heartbeat?"

She sat up abruptly and wiped the wine stains from the corner of her mouth.

"Ruo Ning's ability to manipulate time and space is genuine."

"What makes Yan Ping?"

"Frontline data shows that Yan is equipped with a black hole engine."

Ato hesitated for a moment.

"The computing power level is ridiculously high, it's like using the core of the universe as a processor."

"Black hole engine?"

Morgana jumped up.

She twirled in front of the throne.

"This isn't right! That's Karl's most prized possession, how could Yan have it?"

"Even if He Xi worked 24/7, he couldn't possibly have this kind of research and development speed!"

"unless……"

Morgana's brain was working at lightning speed.

The explosion of Emerald Star, the fall of Keisha, and Yan's top-of-the-line engine.

Countless fragments began to align.

Morgana froze.

She stared at the holographic projection of Rihiko's appearance.

There was a full three minutes of silence.

Immediately afterwards, the loud laughter made the chandelier sway wildly.

"Hahaha! Holy crap!"

"Keisha, you old bitch! You won! You fucking fooled the entire known universe!"

Morgana laughed so hard she almost cried.

She slapped her thigh hard and squatted on the chair without any regard for her image.

"The one that got blown up on Emerald Star is definitely a fake!"

"Keisha isn't dead at all. She's probably hiding in one of those private rooms, eating sunflower seeds and watching us make a fool of ourselves!"

"Your Majesty, do you mean... Keisha is still alive?"

Ato looked completely bewildered.

"Nonsense! If it weren't for that bitch backing him up, would Yan have this ability?"

"So, it turns out that only Karl and I, these two idiots, are busy doing nothing in the entire universe!"

Morgana sneered through gritted teeth.

"No wonder the angel wasn't flustered at all; I would have been just as calm as a rock if I were in her shoes."

……

Death Song Academy.

Karl lowered his head, flipping through the ancient books.

The object lying on the steps disrupted the tranquility of the place.

Hua Ye lay there in a disheveled state.

His long robe was torn into strips.

His once smooth blonde hair now looked like a bird's nest, covered in interstellar dust.

"Karl...you owe me an explanation!"

Hua Ye was panting heavily, his eyes filled with resentment.

"That little bitch's engine is way more powerful than the one you gave me!"

"Are you keeping core code hidden from us?"

Carl ignored him.

He stared silently at the string of data that appeared in the void.

A hint of bitterness lingered on his usually calm face.

"Hua Ye, it's not that I held back."

He raised his head and looked at the dark starry sky outside the academy.

"We've all become blind."

"Yan is not equipped with an ordinary black hole engine; it's a version personally optimized by Keisha."

Karl's voice was flat.

"Keisha is not dead at all."

"That Emerald Star was just a bait she threw out."

Hua Ye was stunned, his mouth agape.

"You mean... that woman was secretly watching me make a fool of myself?"

"Want to watch me hop around?"

Carl did not answer.

He originally thought he was a director.

But now it seems that he was at best a supporting actor who paid for his own way into the production.

A line of words flashed through his mind.

It was accompanied by an absurd sense of defeat.

It turns out, the clown was myself.

He slowly closed the ancient book and looked at Hua Ye.

"You just said you wanted me to give you an explanation?"

Hua Ye shrank back, feeling the pressure of his gaze.

"I...I'm doing this for our grand plan..."

Carl said.

"It seems that we'll have to rely on some technology and ruthless skills."
