I just became the Pirate King, and you're telling me I also time-traveled at the same time.

Chapter 347 Karl, who doesn't play by the rules! Chu Yang: Keep the act going.

!

The Shadow World.

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

However, it must be said that both Yan and Hexi handled this matter flawlessly.

Not only did Karl fail to notice anything amiss, but even the angels remained unaware.

Chu Yang was not surprised by this.

He knew very well that the angels' order of justice was a distorted and extreme form of justice.

In this scenario, if the angels themselves, as executors and judges of the just order, were to encounter problems, then the faith of all believers in the just order throughout the known universe would collapse.

Chu Yang is gambling with all the living beings in the universe, something that justice and order will absolutely not allow.

But Yan and Hexi both chose to compromise, or rather, they had no other choice but to compromise.

In this way, Yan, the current Angel Queen, becomes the one who personally destroys the order of justice.

Therefore, they were even more reluctant to let things be exposed than Chu Yang was, and they would do everything in their power to make it flawless and cooperate with Chu Yang to continue the charade.

During this time, the angels never stopped attacking the Shadow World, and they won every time, while I was unable to completely penetrate the Shadow World.

On the other hand, Yan personally went to Fraser. Although she did not directly intervene in Fraser's internal war, she remained hidden by Annie's side under the guise of protecting the future queen.

He Xi would occasionally reinforce the 19th defense line, and spend the rest of her time stationed in Angel City.

As a result, the two most powerful angels both had their own things to do.

Moreover, on the surface, the safety of both Annie Cid and the Angelic City is far more important than that of the Shadow World.

Although Carl didn't doubt this much, he still kept a watchful eye on it.

While continuously accelerating the process of connecting to the void, he also personally took charge of important scientific research whenever there was a breakthrough, and destroyed all the stored data in the Shadow World.

However, he still underestimated Chu Yang too much, or rather, he never thought that there would be a "god" in the known universe that exceeded the highest limit of the universe!

Therefore, his little tricks were useless to Chu Yang. Whenever there was a major breakthrough in the Shadow World, Chu Yang would even know the news before Karl and intercept the research data.

That crystal from the void was what he obtained from the Shadow World.

It was originally a crystal created by one person. Before Karl went to the Shadow World, Chu Yang took a small piece first, and then altered the data of the research base without leaving any trace.

As for why Chu Yang is always able to seize the initiative?

This was thanks to the two "spies" he had planted around Karl...

Snake and leopard!

Serpent has now become one of the Four Horsemen of the Styx and is a trusted confidant of Karl. Whenever Karl leaves the Dark Nebula, he temporarily entrusts many things to Serpent.

In this way, Chu Yang can receive the news immediately as soon as Karl makes a move.

In the Shadow World, the leopard that Chu Yang sent to the Angel Nebula to gather intelligence secretly entered the Shadow World after the Angels dealt with the Fallen Angels.

This matter naturally did not escape Yan's notice, but knowing that Bao was Chu Yang's man, she pretended not to see it.

With the technical support provided by Chu Yang using Pangu, and the disguise of his innate abilities, Leopard successfully deceived Snow, making him believe that Leopard was just a genius scholar among the natives of the Shadow World.

Snow has been in charge of research on the Shadow World, but due to the repeated attacks by the angels, he has fewer and fewer capable people under his command.

Having finally found a source of labor, he naturally wouldn't let him go.

Thus, Leopard successfully infiltrated Karl's research base in the Shadow World. Although he wasn't a particularly important figure, he was still able to help Chu Yang obtain firsthand information about the Shadow World.

It's no exaggeration to say that what Carl thought was an impenetrable information blockade was already riddled with holes for Chu Yang.

Actually, you can't blame Karl for being careless. After all, he possessed the Great Clock, and he would never have imagined that someone could sneak the message out right under his nose.

The snake possessed primordial energy, which further concealed many secrets about him related to Chu Yang. Even a master's comprehensive investigation could only analyze the data of the beast's body.

In the research base of the Shadow World, the leopard is an insignificant figure. As long as he doesn't reveal any flaws, Karl naturally won't notice him.

In the research base, Karl stood in front of the control panel, looking at the latest data on the screen.

After observing for a moment, Karl asked softly, "Have the angels made any major moves lately?"

Standing to the side, Snow respectfully said, "Yan seems to be plotting something in Fraser. He Xi has reinforced the 19th defense line again. It seems... they are guarding against someone..."

Karl raised his head slightly, revealing a pale, somewhat unreal face beneath his hood. "Who do you think they're guarding against?"

"Perhaps... Chu Yang?" Snow couldn't help but chuckle as he said this.

In his view, the angels were rather hypocritical, chanting praises of justice and order while being wary of Chu Yang, who had helped them in the past.

"Angel and Chu Yang may have some disagreements, but they will never become enemies." Ka shook his head; his vision was much broader than Snow's.

After Chu Yang rose to power, he did many things for the sake of Earth, and Ge Xiaolun was one of the most influential figures under the three gods of Earth.

Yan is his guardian angel, Zhixin, Hexi's disciple, and also Zhao Xin's guardian angel.

With this relationship in place, angels will never become enemies with Earth.

Since they won't be enemies with Earth, they also won't be enemies with Chu Yang.

"You mean..." Snow probed, "that the angels are on guard against us?"

Looking across the known universe, it seems that besides Earth civilization, only the Dark Nebula poses a threat to the Angel civilization.

Carl fell silent for a moment, then turned and walked outside.

As they left the research base, Karl suddenly said, "Send Nusa to see me!"

"Yes!" Snow, who had been following behind him, bowed and left to receive the order.

Not long after, Nusa appeared at the base entrance and knelt on one knee before Karl.

Carl glanced at him and said calmly, "Have you found out what I asked you to investigate?"

Nusa paused, then lowered his head and said, "We can only confirm that Chu Yang did appear at the 19th Defense Line, but he spoke alone with He Xi, and no one knows what they talked about."

"Is there any progress on the Galactic Infiltration Project?" Carl asked again.

Nusa lowered his head even further. "The solar defense line is truly flawless, and Earth, with its satellite barrier, is even more impenetrable!"

"I tried infiltrating via interstellar orbit, but the Sunborn are even more vigilant than Earthlings..."

Karl sighed and said, "This is not your fault. Chu Yang has armed the Chiwu Heng star system to the teeth, and Lieyang and Earth are now in cahoots."

"You stay in the Shadow World and prepare to begin the counterattack against the angels!"

Nusa was stunned for a moment. The Shadow World was already exhausted from dealing with the continuous attacks of the angels. He really couldn't understand why they would launch a counterattack at this critical juncture.

and……

Even if he personally led the army, he would have absolutely no chance of winning against the angels!

Although it possesses a Void Engine and Void-class weapons, Yan also has a secondary biological engine, namely the Void Engine.

Moreover, the arsenal of god-slaying weapons it possesses, apart from Chu Yang's two swords which are beyond the scope of technological comprehension, can be described as the most powerful in the known universe!

What's more, there's also He Xi, who has been through countless battles.

Even when facing only the legion of Guardian-level angels, the Shadow World was already suffering repeated defeats. If his intervention were to attract Yan or He Xi, the chances of victory would be even slimmer.

Nusa dared not question Karl's orders in the slightest; after all, Karl was just a puppet, and he could simply give up on him if necessary.

After Nusa left to carry out his orders, Karl slowly walked through the wormhole, glanced back at the lifeless shadow world, and murmured:

"Chu Yang... it's truly surprising that you were able to persuade the angels to slow down their attack on the Shadow World!"

"But why are you doing this?"

Squinting, Karl smiled again. "No matter what, I will connect to the void, unleash the ultimate terror, and explore the mysteries of the ultimate void."

"Even if it comes at a great cost, it's all worth it..."

…………

Earth.

Chu Yang lay on the sofa in the living room, listening to He Xi recount the strange events in the Shadow World.

After He Xi finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Karl should have noticed something a long time ago. He's not stupid; on the contrary, he's one of the smartest people in the known universe."

"The reason for choosing this time is probably because the plan to connect to the void has reached a critical moment."

"He's testing my attitude by retaliating against you."

He Xi said helplessly, "Although Yan and I had expected it, we didn't expect Karl Grey to play by his own rules."

"If he takes the initiative and the angel continues to respond in a lukewarm manner, it will definitely arouse suspicion."

"This puts the entire angelic civilization on the brink of disaster, trying to put us in a dilemma."

Yan had handled this matter flawlessly all along, and even the angels under her command had not noticed anything amiss.

However, if Yan and Hexi still try to slack off in the face of Karl's proactive attack, it would seem too deliberate.

"What should Yan do about this?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow.

He Xi snorted coldly, "What else can we say? If I hadn't stopped her, she would have already stormed back to Angel Nebula!"

"She's probably cursing you in her heart right now!"

Chu Yang thought for a moment, then said, "What's the use of scolding me? Things have already come to this point, and it's too late for you to back out now."

"The only option now is to go all the way down this path and continue playing this charade!"

"Since you can't openly slack off, I'll create some trouble for you, so everyone knows that you and Yan have more important things to do and are too distracted to focus on anything else!"

"Something more important?" He Xi was taken aback. "What could be more important than the Shadow World right now?"

"Scrapped heavens!" Chu Yang emphasized.

Hearing him say that, He Xi seemed to realize something and said in shock, "You...you wouldn't...want to release those 100,000 celestial scum, would you?"

Chu Yang laughed heartily and said, "As expected of one of the academic giants in the known universe, Tianji King is indeed intelligent!"

Since the fall of the Holy Keisha and Yan's succession, He Xi has devoted all her energy to academic research.

Keisha once said that if He Xi had not followed her in her early years of fighting on all sides, but instead focused on academics, she would have achieved great success.

It should be noted that at that time, He Xi was already a scholar in the known universe, second only to Karl, Morgana, and Keisha.

Today, He Xi is no less capable than any of them.

Even if He Xi were to be supported by a celestial computer comparable to the Great Clock, she would still have a good chance of reaching the heights that Super God Academy once achieved, even if she couldn't compare to Kilan and Ding Heige.

"Don't even try! Do you know what the consequences of doing this will be?"

He Xi, unusually, did not bicker with Chu Yang and said in a serious voice, "Once you release those 100,000 celestial scum, once they are dispersed to every corner of the universe, it will inevitably cause large-scale chaos."

"Since I dared to let them out, I won't let them run around aimlessly," Chu Yang said casually.

"Even if they listen to you, these Fallen Ones will still have some impact on Frazier and the Angel Nebula!"

He Xi gritted her teeth and said, "Even if they can't cause much trouble, it will still take countless Frieza warriors and the lives of my angel warriors to completely annihilate them!"

A just order can make sacrifices to judge evil, but it cannot accept casualties caused by human intervention to achieve a certain purpose.

"It's not like I'm asking you to fight to the death..."

Chu Yang retorted irritably, "Do you even know what acting is?"

"Besides, if you were to kill all those scumbags, where would I find so many laborers for the Crimson Crow Star System?"

"You mean..." He Xi's tone turned strange, "...fix the match?"

Chu Yang gave a soft "hmm" and said, "That's roughly the idea, but this isn't a competition, and there are no rewards; it's war."

"War will inevitably result in casualties, but I will complete the docking between Pangu and the Divine Treasury of Knowledge in advance to store backup data of the participating angels."

"After this is over, I will restore the data of all the angels who fell in the war."

Chu Yang paused for a moment, then said, "You can discuss it with Yan. I'll give you enough time to consider."

"Besides your plan, it seems we have no other choice..." He Xi sighed and said, "We're already on this pirate ship, so we can only accept it as it is."

"I only hope that this ship will eventually reach the other shore and not get lost in the vast ocean!"

Chu Yang chuckled and said, "When have you ever seen me do anything I wasn't sure about?"

"There are the three Earth gods, the Super Soldier Corps, the Super God Academy, angels, and demons..."

"With all these forces combined, surely they can't deal with some of the small fry in the void?"

"As for the massive creatures that might exist deep within the void..."

"I will naturally resolve them one by one!"
