I, the anti-superman, have hacked into the chat group.

“I know the disappearance of skills and abilities makes you uneasy, but you should actually be happy because this is how the world should be. Skills and abilities only exist to repair the world, and now they have completed their mission, leaving behind a normal world.”

"Humans, go explore. You will discover many different things. It is difficult to accumulate experience from scratch, but I believe you can succeed. I am with you."

The goddess's words had some effect; at least the country was temporarily out of chaos. The rest was up to humanity itself.

As for them, their next stop is Fairy Village.

Chapter Thirty-Two: Destroying the Barrier

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Even though the goddess had been imprisoned for a long time, her power still surpassed that of the lower-level god Qiu Lie, and spatial teleportation within the planet was a piece of cake for her.

The group moved directly to the front of the Fairy Village.

Because Potimas feared being purged by Qiu Lie, most of the elves usually stayed in the Fairy Village, and there were very few of them. After all, reproduction was mainly done through technological cloning, and they could produce as many as needed. Having more members would be useless, so the number remained constant.

Their place of residence was not large, at least not compared to other races, only about the size of Tokyo, and a green barrier completely covered their area.

The barrier completely separated them from the mortal world. To enter or leave, one had to either shut down the barrier entirely or use spatial magic to teleport in. However, the system had now stopped functioning, so spatial magic was unusable, and even the elves themselves could not freely enter or leave.

Up close, the barrier looked like a straight wall. Karl touched it; it was at room temperature and didn't feel anything special. However, the barrier was quite sturdy and required a bit of force to break.

"Are you going to break the barrier now?" Kurumi Tokisaki asked.

"No rush. I remember you were reading the memories in the robot's head. Is there any useful information in there?" Karl asked, just in case there were any hidden items he hadn't found when things started to break down. He wanted to know first, since X-ray vision isn't omnipotent. Maybe the other side had multiple bases outside the Fairy Village.

“I thought we didn’t need this information anymore,” Kurumi Tokisaki said. “Well, I did read a lot of information. I know the layout of Fairy Village better than anyone.”

She drew a rough map on the ground and then marked the places that were worth noting.

"The outer perimeter is where ordinary elves live; this is where the robots are stored; this is where Potimas's true form resides underground, and it's also where they imprison reincarnated individuals..."

"Oh, by the way, the reason they knew about the reincarnated ones was because the class teacher was reincarnated as an elf, and had an extra skill that allowed her to know the students' general situation. In order to protect the students, she chose to cooperate with the elf."

“But it’s obvious she made the wrong choice.” Tokisaki Kurumi laughed. “Potimas collects reincarnated people because their souls contain D’s arrangement. He wants to merge with the souls of reincarnated people at the right time to help himself become a god.”

This is the reason why the elves kidnapped the newborns. The animation tells the story through two storylines, and it seems that this point was mentioned in the unpopular human storyline.

Even after being reincarnated into another world, she still cares about her students, which is commendable. However, in order to protect her students, she indirectly harmed countless families. Karl wondered whether she was a good person or a bad person.

“Teacher,” Spider said.

Because of her social anxiety, she usually doesn't talk much, so it must be quite important for her to take the initiative to speak.

“I am grateful,” Spider continued.

The implication is that the teacher must have been kind to her in a past life, and she hopes that she can be more careful about the teacher's safety in the future.

“Don’t worry, she’ll be fine,” Carl said.

Whether she's good or bad, Carl has no interest in judging everyone. Since Spider-Man wants to protect her, he might as well save her. This is also a way to gain favor with his group members.

The permissions that should belong to the group owner and administrators have all been incorporated into the voting function, which will be useful for building good relationships in the future.

"Kurumi, are you sure all the Elven technology is here?" Karl finally confirmed.

Kurumi Tokisaki nodded and said, "Yes, in addition to its protective function, the barrier can also block the system's spying function. If a base is built outside the barrier, it will be discovered by the administrator and then eliminated very quickly."

“I understand the situation, so let’s begin, starting with this barrier,” Karl said.

"Be gentle. Breaking it violently might injure the people inside," the goddess warned.

Carl nodded, his body spinning rapidly, quickly transforming into a red afterimage that looked like both a whirlwind and a drill. Carl drilled through the soil, his body sinking into the ground, disappearing in the blink of an eye, leaving only a dark hole.

"What is he trying to do?" the goddess wondered. She didn't doubt Karl's ability to break the barrier, but she was still puzzled by his actions: "There is a barrier underground too, this action makes no sense at all."

Everyone quickly realized what Karl was about to do. Rumble! A violent tremor came from the ground. The goddess quickly picked up Spider and Ariel, who were both incapacitated, and flew into the air to prevent them from getting hurt.

However, when she reached high altitude, she discovered that the barrier enveloping the Fairy Village had also risen.

No! It's not that the barrier has risen, but that the entire Fairy Village is rising! With the earth shaking, a city-sized area is slowly rising into the sky!

"What happened?!" The elf inside the barrier was panicked and hurriedly searched for the cause.

Deep within the Fairy Village lies a room filled with high-tech equipment. Some fairies, acting as operators, monitor the situation inside and outside the barrier, frantically operating the instruments to find the cause.

"Report! A force has appeared beneath the barrier, lifting our entire Fairy Village into the air!"

"This is impossible! No one has such power."

"Could it be that a god intervened? The god who appeared after the system disappeared?"

"Don't be suspicious. The most important thing right now is to contact Lord Potimas immediately."

"But we can't get in touch with him at all. Since the system disappeared, Lord Potimas has been completely out of contact."

Potimas used the elves as tools, and tools naturally don't need to know much, so much so that no one has realized he's dead yet, and they're still thinking of finding him to take charge.

Just when the elves were at a loss for what to do, another piece of bad news arrived.

"Report: The barrier is failing!"

The barrier covering the entire Fairy Village is the most energy-consuming device here, and it is also extremely important. It must be kept running 24 hours a day. In this situation, it is impossible to rely on MA batteries or the like for power. Therefore, Potimas connected the barrier to the planet's ley lines to directly extract the planet's energy.

At this moment, Karl lifted the entire Fairy Village into the sky, which was equivalent to severing its connection with the planet. As a high-energy-consuming device, it could not be maintained after losing its energy source.

"We! We're going to fall!" an elf cried out in panic.

Of course, this is how it works normally. If the barrier disappears, the land will definitely fall apart, and no one inside will survive.

At this moment, the last bit of light from the barrier dimmed, and the Fairy Village appeared.

Chapter 33 Internal

Why can Superman fly?

This question seems a bit silly. Isn't it normal for Superman to be able to fly? Because he's Superman, he has superpowers.

Indeed, superpowers could be the answer to this question, and in reality, no one would bother to investigate further. Superpowers themselves aren't something that makes people want to ask why; they just need to know that such an ability exists, and the underlying principles don't matter.

However, if we absolutely need a principle to explain the Kryptonians' ability to fly, then the answer is force fields.

When Kryptonian cells react with sunlight/Kryptonite, they gain the ability to release a biofield that envelops their entire body and propels them into flight.

At the same time, this force field can extend outwards, covering things that come into contact with the body, such as clothes. Karl's suit is made of Krypton and can be regarded as a thin type of armor, but its protective ability is negligible compared to his physical body.

Karl usually needs to use a force field to encase his battle suit so that it won't be damaged by high-energy attacks, thus avoiding the situation where he ends up naked during a fight.

The biofield is the most difficult superpower for Karl to master. Theoretically, even without physical contact, he should be able to extend the field and achieve the phenomenon of telekinesis.

But that's just theory. At least Karl can't do it. He still needs contact and a medium to cooperate with the force field to unfold. The higher the density of the medium, the easier it is to cover the field. It's difficult to do in a vacuum, but it's still very simple to wrap around the Fairy Village, which is a solid.

Carl held Fairy Village steadily, preventing it from falling apart, and then slowly descended, placing Fairy Village back on the ground.

The elf in the control room was extremely anxious. Even though he was not dead, the other party had destroyed the barrier and probably had ill intentions.

"Haven't you made contact with Lord Potimas yet? They let us back inside, so they're definitely going to take the next step. We need Lord Potimas's command," someone asked.

"No, still no reply," the elf in charge of communication said, shaking his head.

They were completely at a loss and all looked to the most senior elf in the control room, hoping he could offer some advice.

"There's no other way. Even if we can't contact Lord Potimas, we absolutely cannot let anyone else into the Fairy Village. Activate all the weapons we can and prepare to fight!" The elf quickly made a decision.

"All, all of them?" someone said incredulously.

Another elf smacked him and roared, "Stop daydreaming, get moving! Now!"

Karl flew into the Fairy Village and soon saw thousands of robots emerging from the underground base.

It was similar to what he had seen in UFOs before, with tracks and enlarged cannons, only it looked more sophisticated. It was probably an upgraded version of the same model of robot.

"You said it was all, but this is all the force we have? It's much weaker than what Kurumi Tokisaki said. Is it because Potimas is dead? Although there are many more powerful weapons in the Fairy Village, the remaining fairies don't have the authority to activate them." Karl could hear everything in the control room clearly.

He fired a heat beam at the area where the robots were most concentrated, like the most terrifying missile, instantly blasting the robots to pieces.

"These robots aren't very technologically advanced, except for their magic-resistant shells. I should check the database first. Potimas has lived for tens of thousands of years; maybe he'll have developed some interesting technologies," Karl thought.

He used his thermal vision to clear the robots off the road as he flew toward the database.

It's worth mentioning that the location of the database is also the location of Potimas himself. Like humans before him, he built a UFO underground to store important things inside, presumably in preparation for escaping after draining the planet.

Carl rushed into the underground, punched the door open, forced his way in, and then used his X-ray vision to fly towards the room where the data was stored.

Unlike the UFO we dealt with before, this one didn't have a large number of mechanical enemies. The defenses were all outside the spaceship. There was only one combat force inside, an upgraded robot. Upon noticing Karl's intrusion, it activated itself and blocked Karl's path at an extremely fast speed.

"Pretty impressive. It seems a bit slower than the Demon King, but nothing particularly novel," Karl said, his heated gaze melting a large hole in the robot's chest before continuing forward.

Suddenly Karl stopped and turned to look at the robot he had defeated, which was now repairing itself.

“The power of magic?” Karl muttered to himself, while using his X-ray vision to observe the robot’s structure: “Structure doesn’t seem special. Wait, where’s the power source? This robot has no power source.”

At this moment, the robot had slowly stood up and was preparing to launch an attack when Karl fired another heat vision, causing it to fall back to the ground and restart the resurrection process.

“There must be a power source, but I can’t see it. Considering the characteristics of this world, is it a soul? The souls in this world can store energy, so theoretically they can indeed serve as a power source,” Karl analyzed.

Carl walked up to the robot, the red light in his eyes even brighter than before.

He said, "I guess you're also a victim of Potimas. I don't know magic, so I can only perform a physical ritual to help you pass on. Now that the system is gone, you can no longer be limited to this planet for reincarnation. I hope you can have a better life in your next life."

The heat vision surged forth, completely destroying the robot's body, including the inscribed spells within. This time, the robot could no longer repair itself, and the soul imprisoned within it gradually dissipated after losing its vessel.

Carl continued forward, encountering no obstacles along the way, and soon arrived at the core area of ​​the spaceship.

What came into view was a corpse submerged in a nutrient tank. It was sparsely haired and emaciated, like a dried-up corpse that had been sitting there for who knows how long.

However, Karl knew that the other person had only been dead for a short time, because this was the body of Potimas.

Potimas sustains his life through his 'immortality' and his ability to possess other beings.

However, judging from the skill name, 'immortal' is not 'ageless'. Having lived for tens of thousands of years, Potimas is so old that he can no longer walk and can only eke out a living by soaking in a nutrient tank.

As for why he didn't possess a new body, it's because the principle of possession is to use the soul fragments that parasitize the other person's body to turn them into his own puppet.

To others, Potimas was alive, but he himself couldn't accept it. He wouldn't use this move unless absolutely necessary, so as a result, he died without even a chance to jump when the system stopped.

Carl glanced at him and then looked away, focusing his attention on the database. Before he could destroy it, he wanted to find out if there was any technology that would be useful to him.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Soul Technology

Qiu Lie was warned by D not to attack Potimas, which is why Potimas has been able to act so recklessly for so long. However, Potimas himself was unaware of this. He has always regarded the administrator Qiu Lie as his hypothetical enemy, and has been developing technology with great effort, hoping to one day defeat Qiu Lie and then drain the planet to escape into space.

Although if he actually did that, he would only suffer a worse fate. The planets outside all have owners. Carrying a large amount of MA energy into space would be tantamount to sending a message to others: "Come and rob me!"
