Chapter 105 Pan Zhen's Wrath
Chapter 105 Pan Zhen's Wrath
Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
Li Yao can indeed allow consciousness to enter the vector space, which is currently the first such feat in the known universe.
But getting inside is one thing; how much trouble they can cause is another.
Because the vector space is too large, so large that his current consciousness sinking into it is like a grain of sand falling into the desert.
He tried his best, but could only maintain a tiny area of absolute control around himself.
But even this small piece of land is enough for him to do a lot of things.
With this in mind, Li Yao immediately immersed his consciousness in the vector space and devoted himself to studying it.
……
On the other hand, things were much worse for Karl.
In the main hall of Deathsong Academy, Karl and Pan Zhen sat facing each other.
Karl was speaking at length: "My use of the power of the sun's light to destroy the Holy Keisha is ultimately just to secure a free research environment for myself."
Pan Zhen remained seated, his expression indifferent, silently watching him without saying a word.
"Besides that, I need to utilize the most advanced technology to power the stars to overcome the ultimate fear. Believe me, if this research succeeds, it will be of immense benefit to the entire known universe. After all, the ultimate fear..."
At this moment, Pan Zhen interrupted directly: "You don't need to instill any concepts of fear or emptiness in me."
He pointed to his brain and said in a deep voice, "I have ten thousand years of cunning here. I don't understand any grand cosmic principles, nor do I care about so-called ultimate fears."
Seeing this, Carl could only listen quietly without interrupting.
"For the past ten thousand years, all I have thought about and upheld have been the undying sun and my carefree spirit," Pan Zhen said firmly.
Karl's expression remained calm and composed. He softly countered, "Then let me ask you, Your Excellency, if one day you had to choose between the survival of the Sun Star and the safety of Lena, the Light of the Sun, what would you choose?"
Pan Zhen's gaze narrowed slightly, and he replied calmly, "In my opinion, it's one thing, there's no need to choose."
"That's incorrect..."
Before Carl could finish speaking, Pan Zhen interrupted again:
"My Grand Tutor spent over sixty years studying you. Of course, for a deity like you who has lived for thirty thousand years, it is but a fleeting moment, and he could only glimpse a tiny fraction of it in the end."
Karl smiled faintly upon hearing this, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Pan Zhen stared at him and slowly said, "They say you are an illusion."
Karl chuckled, a hint of amusement in his voice: "Phantom body? This is the first time I've heard of such a definition."
Before the words were even finished!
scoff!
A cluster of crimson flames exploded out of thin air, burning away Karl's lower body.
"How rude!" Karl's face showed a hint of anger.
Pan Zhen offered a half-hearted apology: "Sorry, I was just trying it out on a whim. If you had really been burned to death by me, there would be no need for me to sit here and waste my breath talking to you."
Karl's expression turned completely cold. His mangled body rapidly reconstructed and restored itself. He sat back in his seat, barely suppressing his anger, and said, "Sir, do you perhaps wish to start a war with me?"
"No, no, no," Pan Zhen waved his hand and laughed, "I don't have that idea for now. But..."
After a slight pause, Pan Zhen's smile vanished, and the air around him instantly seemed to grow heavy.
His seemingly casual probing action was actually a way of observing Karl's demeanor and words throughout.
Throughout their ongoing negotiations, Carl has consistently avoided the main issues, spouting nothing but ultimate fears and grand cosmic pronouncements, while remaining vague on the most crucial questions.
This aroused suspicion in the mind of the shrewd and calculating Pan Zhen.
According to Karl's original plan, after destroying Keisha, he should have returned the intact Sunlight to Lieyang.
But to this day, Lena has completely lost contact, and not a trace of her can be detected anywhere in the universe.
Carl, however, remained completely uninvolved and refused to give a single definite answer.
Pan Zhen stared intently at Karl across from him, his gaze sharp, and said coldly, "Karl, we don't need to waste any more words."
"I'll only ask you one question."
"Where have you taken my goddess Reina?"
Karl knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he explained, "There was an accident during the teleportation. The original coordinates were interfered with by an unknown force, causing her to fall into an unknown area. I can't locate her right now."
This statement was almost identical to what he had told Morgana before; it seemed frank, but in reality, it contained no substantial information.
But who is Pan Zhen?
He was a master of political maneuvering who had ruled the blazing sun for ten thousand years.
At that moment, staring at Karl's indifferent expression, he found it all absurd and laughable.
He repeated in a low voice, "An accident?"
Then, he added sarcastically, "You meticulously planned and orchestrated this earth-shattering scheme to destroy Keisha."
"And now, at the most crucial final stage, you're telling me something unexpected happened? Do you think I'd believe that?"
Despite Pan Zhen's relentless questioning, Karl remained unmoved and nodded slightly: "Believe it or not, it's true. I'm also investigating the source of the interference."
The more calmly he responded and the more he refused to give a direct answer, the more intense Pan Zhen's anger became.
All his years of shrewdness and forbearance are finally on the verge of collapse.
He could tolerate Karl using Lena to destroy Keisha, and he could even tolerate the Sun being dragged into this cosmic conflict.
But he could not tolerate that someone would wantonly kidnap the God of Blazing Sun, manipulate and scheme against him, and then try to cover it all up with a trivial accident!
Do they really think that this regent, the blazing sun, no longer exists?
"Okay, very good."
Pan Zhen slowly rose to his feet, and the terrifying divine power emanating from his body instantly swept across the entire hall.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. I don't care what you want to research, but you shouldn't have dared to mess with my Lord God of the Blazing Sun!"
Karl, observing Pan Zhen's sudden outburst, remained seated calmly and said, "Pan Zhen, are you declaring a full-scale war against the River Styx?"
"Go to war?"
Pan Zhen tilted his head back and sneered, his eyes filled with murderous intent: "Today I will show you the price for toying with the blazing sun and insulting my god!"
The moment the words left his mouth, a raging inferno erupted.
Deathsong Academy crumbled inch by inch in the flames, stone pillars collapsed, walls shattered, and ancient decorations were completely destroyed, turning the entire academy into ruins.
Karl hovered in the air, avoiding the impact, and watched everything indifferently.
"It seems that Lieyang couldn't hold back after all." His tone was completely flat.
Pan Zhen, his feet treading on flames, burst through the ruins, his gaze icy: "I'll ask one last time, where is Lena?!"
Carl shook his head slightly: "I really don't know."
This casual response completely ignited Pan Zhen's anger.
In an instant, a blazing red light shot into the sky, enveloping the entire Styx Galaxy, while distant stars were also burning intensely.
Ten thousand years of forbearance, erupting in one day.
As Lena said, she alone is enough to rival the entire River Styx.
As the Regent of the Blazing Sun, Pan Zhen's rage was enough to incinerate the starry sky and destroy the entire River Styx!
Karl gazed at the crimson sky and suddenly spoke:
"Perhaps... you should ask He Xi and Li Yao."
