Chapter 130 The Styx Conspiracy
Styx Galaxy, Death Song Academy.
"oi! oi! oi!"
Hua Ye stood in front of Karl's table, gesturing wildly and making a series of strange, incomprehensible noises. His face was contorted with anxiety, as if he were about to suffocate.
Ruoning, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and frowned, saying, "Karl, look at Hua Ye, what's wrong with him? Ever since Li Yao slapped him a few times, he's become like this, his speech is slurred."
Karl raised his head and glanced at Hua Ye indifferently: "It's nothing serious. Li Yao just temporarily interfered with his language nerves using the concept of void. It's just a very ordinary void technique. It's easy to remove."
As he spoke, he casually waved to Hua Ye.
A faint light entered Hua Ye's body.
Holy crap!
Hua Ye paused abruptly, instinctively cursing, then excitedly touched his chin: "Hey? I'm all better! This king can finally speak normally again!"
His excitement lasted less than two seconds before he moved closer to Karl, slamming his hand on the table and complaining:
"Karl, you unlucky brat! You didn't tell me that kid was that powerful! You caused me to lose hundreds of warriors for nothing! Those were my elite troops, gone just like that! You'd better compensate me!"
Karl lowered his eyes slightly, his tone tinged with apology: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect that Li Yao would also master the Void Engine technology."
Clearly, he mistook Li Yao's previous overwhelming performance for the power of the Void Engine.
"Void Engine? What exactly is that?" Hua Ye looked bewildered, scratching his messy blond hair.
"The Void Engine is..."
Carl was about to explain, but he swallowed the words back.
Looking at Hua Ye's ignorant and incompetent appearance, he knew that talking to him about these things was like casting pearls before swine.
So he sent some basic information directly to Ruoning, who was standing next to Hua Ye: "Let Ruoning tell you this information."
Hua Ye knew he couldn't understand, but he didn't care. He put his arm around Ruoning's waist, kissed her on the cheek, and said with a grin:
"Alright, alright! I'll have Ruoning explain it to me slowly later. I love listening to my beloved's lectures the most."
Ruoning remained expressionless, but did not break free.
Karl ignored his disgraceful behavior and asked meaningfully, "Then what are King Hua Ye's plans next?"
"Oh?"
Hua Ye seemed stunned for a moment, then slapped his thigh and said indignantly, "This king is naturally irreconcilably opposed to that brat Li Yao! We are mortal enemies!"
Then, his tone abruptly changed, his face fell, and he sighed:
"But I am no match for him at all. That little bastard could send me flying tens of thousands of miles with a single slap. If he keeps hitting me, I'm afraid I'll be reduced to ashes."
"Sigh, forget it, I can only pack up with Ruoning and run away, find a secluded place to hide and live out the rest of my days."
He spoke with tears streaming down his face, while secretly glancing at Karl out of the corner of his eye.
Karl's gaze was calm, without any ripples.
He had long known that this Heavenly King was no easy opponent, and the other party also knew that he wanted to use someone else to do his dirty work.
Regardless, he stated bluntly, "What conditions does King Hua Ye want? Just say it."
Hua Ye immediately beamed, exchanged a glance with Ruoning, rubbed his hands together, and made a ridiculously large demand: "Easy, first upgrade both Ruoning and me to a fourth-generation divine body, the top-tier kind!"
Karl smiled faintly and shook his head: "King Hua Ye is joking. Not to mention I don't have that many resources."
Then, he pointed to himself: "Even if it were possible, would King Hua Ye want to become like me?"
"You're like this?"
Hua Ye looked Karl up and down, completely bewildered, and said, "What's wrong with you? You're so clean and fair-skinned, it's fine."
"Hua Ye, no."
Ruoning quickly leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Different civilizations possess different fourth-generation divine body technologies. Karl possesses a fourth-generation technology called Illusionary Body."
"Although the phantom body is not afraid of physical attacks, it has lost most of its physical perception, has no sense of touch or taste, and cannot... cannot do those things."
"Holy crap?!"
Hua Ye's eyes widened instantly as he stared at Karl as if he were a monster. He backed away, shaking his head in disgust, and said, "Forget it! What's the point of life if you look like that? I'd rather be dead!"
He thought for a moment, then settled for second best, saying, "How about this, you install a void engine for me. Its capabilities must be stronger than that kid Li Yao's, so that I can control those girls in short skirts."
Karl nodded slightly: "Alright. Don't worry, King Hua Ye, I will design a suitable void engine for you as soon as possible."
"Oh! That's right!"
"Ideally, I could also have that little bitch Liang Bing under my control! Just imagine her kneeling before me begging for mercy, tsk tsk..."
Hua Ye looked at the portrait of Liang Bing hanging on the wall, his expression gradually becoming lewd, his eyes glazed over, and his hand was still restlessly caressing Ruoning's waist, as if he was fantasizing about some indescribable scene.
Karl glanced at it and said calmly, "Okay."
Hua Ye was amazed when he heard this.
He really wanted to ask Karl, "Would you be happy if I, the king, put a hat on you?"
However, since he needed someone's help, he didn't say anything too harsh.
Seeing that Karl was so easy to talk to, he still pressed his advantage and said, "Then give me some more resources. I need to gather my army."
Carl readily agreed, "Okay. How much do you need?"
Hua Ye was overjoyed and said, "The more the better."
"Okay, I'll have someone deliver it to you then."
After replying, Karl instructed Snow, who was in the corner, "Snow, see the guest out."
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you trying to say goodbye to!" Hua Ye quickly waved his hand, plopped down on a chair next to him, crossed his legs, and said, "I'm not leaving. I'm staying at your Death Song Academy."
Karl raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat surprised: "Wasn't King Hua Ye going to summon a large army?"
Hua Ye said righteously, "That kind of trivial matter can be handled by Ruoning and Sumali."
"I have to stay here and keep an eye on you as you work on the void engine. What if you cut corners? Besides, it's so dangerous out there. Who knows if that brat Li Yao is looking for me everywhere? It's safest here."
Carl looked at his expression—clearly terrified yet self-righteous—and said nothing more, simply nodding slightly.
Hua Ye leaned back in his chair, holding Ruoning in his arms, and murmured, "Li Yao, you just wait. Once I have the Void Engine, I'll see how I deal with you, and those girls in short skirts—none of them will escape; they'll all be mine!"
Ruoning stared blankly ahead, as if she hadn't heard anything, but a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes.
