Chapter 455: The Unpredictable Kar! Chu Yang: Keep Acting!

!

Shadow World.

Since the Angel Civilization was forced to compromise with Chu Yang, it has slowed its offensive against the Shadow World.

But Budebushuo , whether Yan or He Xi, both handled this matter flawlessly.

Not only did Kar not detect any anomaly, not even the Angels themselves noticed anything.

Chu Yang was not surprised by this.

He knew well that the Angel’s justice order was a distorted form of extreme righteousness.

Under such circumstances, if the Angels themselves—the enforcers and judges of justice order—were compromised, all believers of justice order across the known universe would suffer a collapse of faith.

Chu Yang wagered the lives of all beings in the universe—something justice order could never permit.

Yet Yan and He Xi both chose compromise—or rather, they had no other option but compromise.

Thus, Yan, the current Angel Queen, became the one who personally shattered justice order.

So they were even more desperate than Chu Yang to prevent exposure, and would spare no effort to make everything seamless, cooperating with Chu Yang to continue this performance.

During this time, the Angels never ceased their attacks on the Shadow World, and each time they achieved victory—yet I myself could never fully penetrate the Shadow World.

On the other side, Yan personally went to Ferze; though she did not directly intervene in Ferze’s internal war, she hid beside Anixide under the guise of protecting the future queen, doing nothing but slacking off.

He Xi occasionally reinforced Line 19, spending the rest of her time stationed at the Angel Capital.

Thus, the two most powerful Angel warriors each had their own duties.

Moreover, on the surface, the safety of Anixide and the Angel Capital was far more important than the Shadow World.

Though Kar did not suspect much, he still kept a watchful eye.

While continuously accelerating the Xukong connection process, he personally oversaw critical research whenever breakthroughs occurred, and destroyed all stored data from the Shadow World.

But he vastly underestimated Chu Yang—or rather, never imagined that within the known universe, there existed a “god” exceeding the universe’s ultimate limit! Thus, all his small maneuvers were meaningless to Chu Yang; whenever the Shadow World made major progress, Chu Yang often learned of it before Kar and intercepted the research data.

The crystal from the Void was obtained from the Shadow World.

It was originally a single stone, but before Kar went to the Shadow World, Chu Yang had already taken a small piece and altered the research base’s data, leaving no trace.

As for why Chu Yang always gained the upper hand? It was thanks to the two “spies” he planted beside Kar…

Snake and Leopard! Snake had now become one of the Four Horsemen of the River of Death, Kar’s trusted subordinate; every time Kar left the Dark Nebula, he temporarily entrusted many matters to Snake.

Thus, as soon as Kar moved, Chu Yang received word instantly.

On the Shadow World side, Leopard—whom Chu Yang had originally sent to the Angel Nebula for reconnaissance—quietly entered the Shadow World after the Angels eliminated the Heavenly Filth.

Of course, Yan noticed this, but knowing Leopard was Chu Yang’s agent, she pretended not to see.

With technological support from Pangu provided by Chu Yang, combined with his innate ability to disguise himself, Leopard successfully deceived Snow, making him believe Leopard was merely a gifted scholar native to the Shadow World.

Snow had always overseen Shadow World research, but due to repeated Angel attacks, his available personnel dwindled.

Upon discovering a new laborer, he naturally would not let him go.

Thus, Leopard successfully infiltrated Kar’s research base in the Shadow World; though not a key figure, he could still help Chu Yang obtain firsthand intelligence from the Shadow World.

Without exaggeration, Kar’s self-perceived impenetrable information blockade was already riddled with holes for Chu Yang.

This was not really Kar’s fault—he possessed the Great Clock, so he never imagined anyone could deceive the Great Clock and smuggle information past his very eyes.

Snake carried Yuan Qi, which concealed many secrets linking him to Chu Yang; even a full-scale probe by a Master could only parse data related to his beast body.

In the research base, Leopard was an insignificant minor figure; as long as he showed no flaw, Kar would never notice him.

In the research base, Kar stood before the control panel, watching the latest data on the screen.

After a moment, Kar asked softly: “Have the Angels made any major moves recently?”

Snow, standing beside him, replied respectfully: “Yan seems to be plotting something in Ferze, and He Xi has reinforced Line 19 again—it seems… they’re preparing for someone…”

Kar slightly lifted his head, revealing the pale, ethereal face beneath his hood: “Who do Itachi think they’re preparing for?”

“Perhaps… Chu Yang?” Snow chuckled at this.

In his view, the Angels were hypocritical—preaching justice order while constantly distrusting Chu Yang, who had once helped them.

“The Angels and Chu Yang may have disagreements, but they will never become enemies,” Kar shook his head; his vision was longer than Snow’s.

All the things Chu Yang did after his rise were for Earth, and Ge Xiaolun was one of the most influential figures under Earth’s three gods.

Yan was his guardian angel; He Xi’s disciple, Zhi Xin, was Zhao Xin’s guardian angel.

With this connection, the Angels could never become enemies with Earth.

If they would not become enemies with Earth, they would not become enemies with Chu Yang either.

“So Itachi mean…” Snow ventured, “the Angels are preparing for us?”

In the known universe, the only force capable of threatening the Angel Civilization, besides Earth, seemed to be our Dark Nebula.

Kar fell silent, then turned and walked out.

Outside the research base, Kar suddenly said: “Send Nusa to see me!”

“Yes!” Snow, who had been following behind, bowed and departed on orders.

Soon after, Nusa appeared at the base entrance, kneeling on one knee before Kar.

Kar glanced at him and said coolly: “Have Itachi found out what I asked Itachi to investigate?”

Nusa’s breath hitched, head bowed: “We can only confirm Chu Yang did appear at Line 19, but he spoke alone with He Xi—no one knows what they discussed.”

“Any progress on the Galactic Infiltration Plan?” Kar asked again.

Nusa lowered his head even further: “The Solar Line has no weaknesses at all—Earth has satellite fortresses, and they’re impenetrable!”

“I tried infiltrating via interstellar orbit, but the Liyang people are even more vigilant than the Earthlings…”

Kar sighed: “This isn’t your fault. Chu Yang has armed the Chiwu star system to the teeth, and the Liyang are now inseparable from Earth.”

“Stay in the Shadow World and prepare to launch a counterattack against the Angels!”

Nusa froze. Currently, the Shadow World was already overwhelmed by the Angels’ continuous assaults—he couldn’t fathom why they should launch a counterattack now. And…

Even with him leading the charge, they had zero chance against the Angels! Though they possessed the Void Engine and Void-class weapons, Yan had the Bio-Void Engine—the same as the Void Engine.

Moreover, her arsenal of god-killing weapons, excluding Chu Yang’s two swords beyond technological comprehension, was the greatest in the known universe!

And what of He Xi, a battle-hardened veteran?

Even facing just the Guardian-class Angel legions, the Shadow World was already retreating; if Nusa’s intervention drew Yan or He Xi into the conflict, victory would be utterly impossible.

But Nusa dared not question Kar’s order—he was merely a puppet anyway; if necessary, he could simply abandon it.

After Nusa departed on orders, Kar slowly walked into a space wormhole, glanced back at the lifeless Shadow World, and murmured:

“Chu Yang… Itachi convinced the Angels to slow their assault on the Shadow World—truly unexpected!”

“But why did Itachi do this?”

Squinting, Kar smiled again: “Regardless, I will connect to the Void, bring forth Ultimate Fear, and uncover the secrets of Ultimate Void.”

“Even if I must pay any price, it will be worth it…”

…………

Earth.

Chu Yang lay on the living room sofa, listening as He Xi recounted the Shadow World’s movements.

When she finished, he smiled: “Kar must have already sensed something—he’s no fool; quite the opposite, he’s one of the smartest in the known universe.”

“He chose this moment precisely because the Void connection plan has reached a critical stage.”

“He’s launching this offensive against Itachi to test my response.”

He Xi sighed helplessly: “Though Yan and I anticipated this, we never expected Kar would play so unpredictably.”

“If he takes the initiative and Itachi still respond indifferently, suspicion will inevitably arise.”

“He’s putting the entire Angel Civilization on the fire, forcing Itachi into an impossible dilemma.”

Until now, Yan had handled this matter flawlessly—even her own Angels noticed nothing unusual.

But if, facing Kar’s offensive, Yan and He Xi still tried to slack off, it would be far too obvious.

“What will Yan do about this?” Chu Yang raised an eyebrow.

He Xi snorted: “What else can she do? If I hadn’t stopped her, she’d already have stormed back to the Angel Nebula!”

“She’s probably cursing Itachi right now!”

Chu Yang thought for a moment, then said: “What good is cursing me? The situation is already set—there’s no turning back now.”

“Our only option is to see this performance through to the end!”

“Since Itachi can’t openly slack off, I’ll create some trouble for Itachi—so everyone knows Itachi and Yan have more important matters to attend to, and can’t spare attention!”

“More important matters?” He Xi paused. “What could possibly be more important than the Shadow World?”

“The Heavenly Filth!” Chu Yang emphasized.

Hearing this, He Xi seemed to realize something, shocked: “Itachi… Itachi don’t mean… Itachi want to release those ten thousand Heavenly Filth?”

Chu Yang laughed heartily: “No wonder Itachi’re one of the academic ceilings of the known universe—Heavenly King, Itachi’re sharp!”

Since Sacred Kesa’s fall and Yan’s succession, He Xi had devoted all her energy to academic research.

Kesa once said that if He Xi had focused on academia early on instead of campaigning with her, she would have achieved extraordinary heights.

At that time, He Xi was already among the top scholars in the known universe, second only to Kar, Mo Ganna, and Kesa.

Now, she was no weaker than any of them.

If she had access to a celestial computer comparable to the Great Clock, she might even rival Jilan and Ding Hei, reaching the former heights of the Super God Academy.

“Enough! Do Itachi know what consequences this will cause?”

He Xi, unusually serious, did not bicker with Chu Yang: “If Itachi release those ten thousand Heavenly Filth, once they scatter across the universe, chaos will erupt on a massive scale.”

“I dare release them precisely because I won’t let them run wild,” Chu Yang said casually.

“Even if they obey Itachi, these Heavenly Filth will still cause disruption to Ferze and the Angel Nebula!”

Hexi gritted her teeth: “Even if they can’t stir up much of a storm, we still have to sacrifice countless Ferzer warriors and my Angel warriors to eradicate them completely!”

Justice and order may sacrifice to judge evil, but cannot accept casualties artificially created to achieve some goal.

“I’m not asking Itachi to fight to the death…”

Chu Yang said irritably: “Do Itachi even know what ‘acting’ means?”

“Besides, if Itachi kill all those Heavenly Scum, where am I going to find so many laborers for the Chiwu Star System?”

“Itachi mean…” Hexi’s tone grew strange, “…fake a battle?”

Chu Yang gave a soft hum: “Something like that—but this isn’t a competition, and there’s no prize. It’s war.”

“War will always bring casualties, but I’ll synchronize with Pan Gu and the Sacred Knowledge Vault beforehand to store backup data of the participating Angels.”

“After the operation ends, I’ll restore the data of every Angel who perishes in the war.”

Chu Yang paused, then added: “Itachi can discuss this with Yan. I’ll give Itachi plenty of time to consider.”

“Aside from your plan, we seem to have no other option…” Hexi sighed. “We’re already on the pirate ship—might as well make the best of it.”

“I only hope this ship eventually reaches the other shore, and doesn’t get lost in the boundless sea!”

Chu Yang chuckled: “When have Itachi ever seen me do something without confidence?”

“We have the Three Gods of Earth, the Xiongbinglian, the Super God Academy, the Angels, and the Demons…”

“With all these forces combined, can’t we handle a few trash creatures in the Void?”

“As for whatever big things might lurk deep in the Void…”

“I’ll deal with them one by one!”
