After Zhongli finished speaking, a dazzling light shone in his dark golden eyes.
Click!
A crisp sound appeared on Karl's projection, and the next moment it shattered like glass.
Meanwhile, at Death Song Academy.
"Aaaaaahhhhhh—" Karl screamed in agony, clutching his head. The encapsulation containers in the laboratory cracked because of his wails, and a large amount of unknown energy spewed out, causing the entire Death Song Academy to be filled with chaotic aurora.
"How is this possible! How is this possible! That was just a technological projection! How could an attack on a projection affect my physical body?!" Karl clutched his head and collapsed to the ground, screaming in agony.
"There is absolutely no real connection between them, not even logically!"
"Ah!" Karl's scream abruptly stopped, his expression like that of a demon, his eyes gleaming: "Could it be! Something like causality, a kind of idealism!"
He has come into contact with the ultimate technology of 'idealism'. Void technology carries the attributes of idealism, and even his illusory body has the characteristics of idealism. The illusory body is both a projection of his consciousness and a 'soul' that cannot be proven by science.
His title of "Grim Reaper" also reflects his deepest involvement in the three almost idealistic directions of "consciousness," "spirit," and "self." He can make the self-consciousness of a living being detach from the body and attach itself to a machine, or he can make the self-consciousness exist independently.
The phantom body is also what he considers the fifth generation of divine bodies.
If even a scholar who has only lived for 30,000 years can get involved in 'idealism', then how deep would the idealism of a super civilization that has existed for ten times longer than him be?
“Causality, absolutely causality!” Karl got up from the ground. The robe that covered his illusory body disappeared, and a dark crack running from his shoulder to his crotch almost split him in two, and it could not be healed.
"Want to cleanse the River Styx? On my home turf, even an ancient civilization, even one with idealistic technology far surpassing mine, is underestimating me!" Karl's face was contorted with a sinister calm.
When he advanced to the Phantom Body, he had already abandoned the defects brought about by the physical body and the various desires required for survival and reproduction. Now he only has a thirst for knowledge.
"Killing me won't be so easy, you ancient god. I'll show you my power, now that I've inherited most of the technology of the Divine River Civilization."
He didn't choose to run away because the crack on his body pinpointed his location. Even if he wasn't marked, where could he escape to? The known universe is only so big, and the other party must know it better than he does.
Therefore, it's better to confront them head-on, as we might be able to find out how big the gap is between ourselves and the idealistic technology of the ancient times.
All civilizations under Styx's command are preparing for war, gathering all their military strength.
The enemy is a god.
To deal with God, you must stake everything; offer everything to me, and I promise you that you will live with death.
Beast civilizations are not as intelligent as humans. Their smartest individuals only reach the middle level of general human intelligence. Their strength lies in their physical abilities.
This was an advantage in the pre-nuclear era, allowing them to use violence to become the sole ruling race on a planet. However, in the pre-nuclear era and even the information age, the advantage of beast-like civilizations has vanished.
They are absolutely incapable of competing with the intelligent 'pan-human race', and they don't even have the qualifications to step onto the grand stage of the universe.
The Styx Galaxy entered the space age because of Karl's existence; all its technology came from Karl, while the Beast Civilization was merely a user of the technology.
Karl's oracle spread throughout the River Styx and synchronized the real-time coordinates of the invading god with all beast-like civilizations.
All the beast-like civilizations reached a fever pitch, losing themselves in their fanaticism.
The beast-like civilization is not intelligent, so for them, Karl, the god, represents the ultimate goal of demonstrating their value.
However, consider this: Karl spent 30,000 years allowing the civilization of the Styx Galaxy to gradually grow to its current state. From the very beginning, Karl was the 'creator god' of the Styx Galaxy civilization. Every beast-like alien's life, from birth to death, bears Karl's presence. Therefore, they are all 'fanatics' who offer their lives to the creator god. Isn't this a wonderful thing?
All the beast-like aliens of the Styx civilization were shouting in celebration.
[I offer everything for my god Karl!!!]
[I offer everything for my god Karl!!!]
[I offer everything for my god Karl!!!]
Zhongli walked through the universe, and silver ripples spread around him. After the ripples subsided, he appeared in the star system of the nearest beast-body civilization.
The planets throughout the star system are covered with massive interstellar structures of steel, and the light from the steel and energy illuminates even the shadowy sides of the planets.
Spaceships and planetary-level star destroyers floated in space.
"What a pathetic civilization." Zhongli swept his divine sense across the beast-body civilization, and the fanaticism of each individual who had lost their sense of self made him angry. He sighed.
"The order of Heaven is the truth. No intelligent race can blindly follow God, for blind obedience will lead to the loss of self. Nor can they despise God, for despise will breed arrogance."
"Without self, civilization will be like a body without a soul; arrogance will be the fuse that extinguishes civilization."
"Death God Karl, damn it, damn it all! A god who doesn't love his people has no reason to exist."
Before Zhongli could even make a move, the beast-like civilization in this star system sounded the highest level of alarm.
"It has appeared! My god Karl's enemy, that damned god who invaded our Styx, has appeared in our galaxy!"
"All activated weapons, lock onto that damn god! Kill! For my god Karl!"
"Hahahaha, we are the civilization most loyal to death on the River Styx!"
Blinding lights flashed across various parts of the star system; the planet-destroying weapons had been activated.
The planet-destroying weapons created by a spacefaring civilization that has not yet reached level 2 cannot truly destroy a planet. At most, they are energy pulse weapons, capable of clearing out a section of a planet's surface with a single shot, and at most, they cannot exceed the size of a European country.
boom----
boom----
boom----
A barrage of energy pulses of different colors blasted toward the area where Zhongli was located, creating blinding torrents within the star system.
Zhongli didn't even glance at these attacks. If he wanted to defend against attacks of this level, he wouldn't even be able to get within an astronomical unit of his body, let alone touch his divine body.
Zhongli's dark golden eyes gazed at the star at the center of the star system that had been burning for hundreds of thousands of years. He activated his strongest power, the power of the Contract Power, and slowly spoke.
I am the God-King of Contracts, wielding the power of contracts.
At this moment, I will make a pact with the stars of the Styx.
I will end the past of you stars, and I will grant you new life.
At the same time, Zhongli slowly raised the 'Great Power Artifact' in his hand, and the power of the contract was enhanced three times, five times, eight times, and ten times.
Buzz~ Whoosh~ Boom——————
The moment the power of the contract covered the star, the power forcibly defined a contract with the star. Just like the contract, Zhongli will end the star's past. The star has no self-awareness, so it has no possibility of refusing and must therefore comply with the 'contract'.
boom!!!
The star dimmed for a moment, and the next instant, a violent stellar wind erupted, causing the star's light to suddenly surge a hundredfold, with the power of the stellar wind generated every second equaling the amount generated in the previous year.
With a deafening roar, the Dyson sphere, which collects energy from the outer layers of a star, was violently torn apart.
Before the stellar winds even reach the nearest planet, the star itself begins to flash like an alarm light; this is a helium flash that only occurs when a star is nearing the end of its life.
A helium flash is followed by the final funeral of a star, which explodes within seconds, releasing energy equal to the total energy it has ever released.
boom------------
The star exploded, incredibly blinding, visible to the naked eye even from another galaxy, though it would take hundreds of thousands of years for the light to travel.
The violent destructive energy devoured everything in the star system at an extremely fast speed; planets shattered and tore apart instantly, turning into dust in the dazzling fireworks of the universe.
The creations of civilizations in a star system are not even worth dust in a stellar explosion; they are evaporated in a fraction of a second.
The destructive energy of the exploding star had engulfed Zhongli, but he remained unharmed, calmly watching the annihilation of this beast-like civilization.
“Your sins are not yet over,” Zhongli said.
As the star explodes, his immense power spreads throughout the entire star system, and the souls of those beast-like aliens will be sent to hell through the gates to the underworld opened by his divine power.
A sinful civilization would surely be a great source of nourishment for hell.
“The next star system.” Zhongli walked through a stellar cloud that was expanding at sub-light speed, silver ripples appearing around him, and his figure disappeared into the ripples.
Once the stellar cloud has fully formed, its remaining divine power will become fuel for the new star, at which point a more temperate and life-friendly second-generation star will be born.
He wasn't in a hurry to end Death Karl; his power of contract had already anchored Karl, and the contract he made with Karl prevented him from leaving his lair.
The pact he made with Karl was that [Karl the Death God would be unable to escape his spatial coordinates by any means until the God of the Pact had wiped out all civilizations in the Styx River; correspondingly, the God of the Pact would also be unable to continue harming Karl the Death God until all civilizations in the Styx River had been wiped out.]
He certainly wouldn't limit himself; he is the god of contracts, and the right to interpret contracts rests with him.
Within just a few hours, stars in the Styx Galaxy exploded one after another, almost one every few minutes. One-tenth of an arm of the Styx Galaxy has been completely transformed into a super nebula.
Such massive nebulae existed only in the early days of the universe, in the early era when the first stars appeared.
"Damn it! I can't leave this spatial coordinates using any technology!" Karl was staring at the dark plane information of the Styx Galaxy with impotent rage. He could only stand there and watch helplessly as the stars of the Styx Galaxy exploded one by one and the civilizations under his command were annihilated.
He wasn't being compassionate or worried about those civilizations; rather, he was unable to move or immediately analyze the facts and intelligence, so he could only stay in place and do nothing.
"Is this the technology of causality? It's unbelievably powerful! Damn it! Damn it all! The experimental equipment is right here! This is such valuable data!! Damn it!!"
Meanwhile, at the Angel Nebula's scientific research center, Keisha, He Xi, and Yan were looking at the dark dimension information coming from the Styx Galaxy.
"Hiss—" Keisha and He Xi gasped as they watched Zhongli unleash his power and sweep across the Styx Galaxy.
"Isn't this a bit too much?!" He Xi pointed at the live stream, her voice cracking, "Give this genius a few decades, no, just a few years and the entire Styx Galaxy will become a galaxy-level primordial nebula!!!"
Chapter 324 Angels Plant Trees, Descending Upon the Blazing Sun Civilization
"If she could stay in this state, she could indeed achieve it in a few years... This is truly incredible. She is indeed a true god, wielding the laws of the universe and being the laws themselves." Keisha slowly exhaled, placing her hand on her chest, her heart beating faster than ever before.
If a God-King has the power to change the shape of a galaxy on his own, then what about the 'Laws' above the God-King? Changing the universe, or even reshaping it, would be a piece of cake.
Even if the Angel Civilization spent ten or even a hundred times more time developing its technology, it would never be able to reach that level.
Materialism and idealism are like the two legs of God. One cannot be called a complete God if one leg is not even one. Their technological God is not fully developed even in terms of materialism, so he cannot be called a God.
Therefore, all the known civilizations in the universe that created gods are merely imitating gods. They think they are gods just because they have half of the power of gods. How arrogant!
"Queen, this god is the Contract God King, one of the high-ranking god kings of the 'Pan-Human Civilization,' ranking among the top ten god kings. He is mature, steady, benevolent, and one of the most loving gods. In particular, he once cleansed the four directions for Pan-Humanity, protected a corner of the floating world, and silently guided civilization to grow, blah blah blah..." Yan recounted Zhong Li's deeds from the side, without even needing to embellish them, because there was no way to embellish them anymore; that was the truth.
Of course, she had her own ulterior motives for doing this. God is the Lord of Angels, the master of all angels in the heavens and the myriad worlds. Any angel who sees God's true face will fall in love with him. This has nothing to do with aesthetic pursuits.
Once Queen Keisha goes to the main universe, she will definitely become one of the holy archangels of heaven, after all, the new and old angels of the angelic civilization are very loyal to Queen Keisha.
Furthermore, if Angel Yan's eight thousand years of great achievements could elevate her to the level of a high-ranking deity, then Queen Keisha, with her thirty thousand years of accomplishments, could definitely reach the rank of 'Great Power God-King'.
If Queen Keisha were to see the true face of God, what would happen? She herself didn't have many opportunities to get close to God. If the Queen came, would she still have a chance?
So let's take this opportunity to promote the Queen.
Two of the god-kings who have arrived in the known universe are male. Hopefully, their youthful appearance and ideals of freedom will clash with Queen Keisha, but fit King He Xi perfectly. A little encouragement for King He Xi would be enough, right? (Wendy, who has already arrived in the cosmic region where the Triangular Civilization resides, feels a chill. What? Why does it feel like a god is trying to harm me?)
The Contract God King, in terms of both his ideals and appearance, is definitely a perfect match for Queen Keisha, and she'll surely be tempted. (Zhongli, who was currently wreaking havoc in the River Styx, frowned slightly. Why did he feel like a god was plotting against him?)
After pushing the two queens out, even if they saw the true face of God, they wouldn't be able to shamelessly try to get close to him because of the other gods around. Hehe, perfect.
