The moment the Void's massive mouth appeared,
A sudden realization struck Kei Yamanaka. Instead of resisting or destroying that spatial conceptual force,
he yielded to it, allowing himself to be carried to the location defined by the spatial concept.
Before a dying star on the verge of a supernova explosion due to depleted nuclear fuel!
The surrounding space had already been warped beyond recognition. Any known spatial calculations in the Superman Universe proved useless here.
Clearly, this was still the same trick used against Guy in the original storyline!
"The Chongyun Star at the edge of the Milky Way near the River Styx?"
Kei Yamanaka glanced at the exploding star before him and the surrounding cosmic environment.
Using data from the Sacred Knowledge Treasury, he immediately realized where he now stood.
Compared to Hikaku Star from the original storyline—where Guy had been sent off—
Chongyun Star was closer to Blue Planet and larger in size. Once the internal fusion fuel of its star was completely depleted, the core would collapse under gravitational pull, triggering a supernova explosion even more powerful than that on Hikaku Star!
Too bad…
But it had no effect on him whatsoever!
Kei Yamanaka smirked slightly, then turned to look at Kal-El's ethereal figure standing beside him.
Behind him, stellar energy converged, instantly forming a throne resembling molten rock.
The stellar energy was forcefully contained within the throne, emitting not a single trace of blazing heat.
Even though he wore only ordinary clothes,
not a bit of them was damaged.
Shinigami Kal's serene face bore the faintest trace of a smile, as though he'd predicted this exact scene from the start.
As the Dimensional Demon God who wielded Void power and transcended dimensions,
naturally, he possessed power far surpassing any known deity in the universe!
"It seems a supernova explosion doesn't trouble you at all. The strength of a Dimensional Demon God is truly admirable."
Kal-El bowed respectfully, betraying no trace of frustration or panic despite his plan failing.
His expression, hidden beneath the blue cloak, instead brimmed with curiosity.
"You're so obsessed with researching the Void, so why would you choose to stand against me?"
Kei Yamanaka tilted his head, studying Kal-El.
The latter possessed an unusually youthful face, far younger than his actual age.
There was no harshness, no gloominess, much less the sinister charm typical of a villain.
More like...
a first-year college student brimming with innocent curiosity?
With such looks and demeanor, he really didn't resemble the usual villains Kei had encountered.
"You may be a Demon God who wields the Void, but you are not the true Void I seek. Your existence will only hinder the Void's descent across the universe."
Kal-El remained calm.
"Tch... Got it. Just another mad cultivator who's lost his path."
Understanding flickered in Kei's eyes.
Meanwhile, Liang Bing beside him could no longer hold back. She controlled asteroids floating in space and hurled them furiously at Kal-El.
Seeing his figure flicker and reform after being struck,
she spat in disgust.
Arms akimbo, she stormed back and forth in space.
"Kal-El, I told you you're not human, and you wouldn't admit it! Who in their right senses would even consider doing something like this?!"
"You're targeting me instead? Want to eliminate both of us together?"
Liang Bing saw clearly—the previous void transfer had marked her as the anchor point!
Although Kal-El had already gained some control over Void power, he clearly couldn't locate Kei Yamanaka precisely.
All that talk about enhancing to a Fourth-Generation Divine Body and wielding a super-powered Void Engine—
Complete crap!
Kal-El's true intention was to use her as the anchor for the Void mark.
At the precise moment she made contact with Kei Yamanaka, he would initiate a wide-range void transfer, sending them both here to get blasted by a supernova explosion!
In theory, the Fourth-Generation Divine Body could make one immortal.
But that only worked when sufficient energy was available!
If they really got blown apart into atoms by a supernova explosion, the energy required to restore their forms would be astronomical!
What's the difference between that and death?!
"Void power won't fear a supernova explosion. Even if something unexpected happens, I've already backed up your data on Demon Unit One and prepared enough energy to help you recover. Using the Big Clock's algorithm, it won't take long before you're whole again."
Kal-El turned his gaze to Liang Bing, his expression now softened.
"Oh wow, thanks a *freakin'* lot!"
A surge of rage caught in Liang Bing's throat—it wouldn't go down or up.
Still furious, she channeled a mass of dark energy to launch a meteor at him again.
To be used and manipulated like this?
She longed to tear this bastard limb from limb with her bare hands!
Angel Yan and Angel Zui exchanged glances, their expressions equally grave. They sent all of this through the angelic dark energy communication channel to Queen Guy in distant Celestial City.
The methods and strength Kal-El displayed were already sufficient to pose a threat to their Queen.
"You don't have to thank me. You know, I'll always wait for you."
Kal-El pursed his mouth, a trace of shyness, like that of a lovesick boy, showing on his face.
"Please stop spewing your nonsense all over me!"
Infuriated, Liang Bing's forehead veins bulged visibly.
She finally figured it out!
When it came to being utterly disgusting, Kal-El was truly the ultimate master!
"One question—according to what I know, the Big Clock doesn't possess the direct capability to manipulate stars or trigger a supernova explosion."
Kei Yamanaka waved a hand to calm Liang Bing down before asking Kal-El again.
He had already scoured Chongyun Star's star system using [Soaring Through All Heavens], but found no sign of Reina anywhere.
Yet Chongyun Star continued accelerating its fusion process.
"Originally, I intended to capture Reina, the Light of the Sun, but it seems you've altered her Genetic Lock. I could only make a minor arrangement with Panzhen of Lieyang Star."
Kal-El didn't hide his actions.
Or rather, from his perspective, whether he hid them or not, they'd inevitably discover the truth sooner or later. So he might as well just say it outright—allowing Lieyang Star to draw away some attention while giving him more preparation time.
"Hmm, so tell me, did this little probe of yours accomplish what you set out to do?"
Kei Yamanaka slightly nodded.
Since Kal-El failed to capture Reina and ended up cooperating with Lieyang Star,
Reina had likely returned there by now.
Panzhen, that wily old schemer, wouldn't leave his own goddess trapped in the storm of epoch-defining changes.
As for Kal-El's last-minute, spur-of-the-moment plan this time.
It appeared extremely threatening at first glance.
But truthfully, the more you examined it, the sloppier it seemed.
"Thank you for your cooperation. I will do everything in my power to advance the Void Era. I hope this brings you satisfaction as well."
Kal-El had a faint smile on his lips as he bowed deeply once again.
His dark energy projection then disappeared from view.
"Was that... a black hole?"
Angel Yan, her eyes still reflecting the image of collapsing stars, stared at the black vortex that had appeared beside Chongyun Star after Kal-El's projection vanished.
Has Kal-El...
Mastered the ability to artificially create black holes?
"I thought so."
Kei Yamanaka observed the scene where Chongyun Star's collapse interacted with the artificial black hole. He motioned for the others to get behind him.
Just a supernova explosion wasn't even Kal-El's real test.
This — *this* is the real test!
When a supernova explosion interacts with a black hole, it releases power beyond the threshold any realm can withstand!
That produces not just void particles, but also generates enough force to obliterate Void-born lifeforms instantly!
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and fight! If I die here, I'll be stuck with that lazy bum Kal-El forever!"
Liang Bing quickly ducked behind Kei Yamanaka.
Angels Yan and Zui also held their ground, pushing down their shock.
"Now you see why I'm more reliable than Kal-El? Don't worry, nobody's going to die."
Kei chuckled lightly.
He used the power of the Primordial Realm to shield the three people behind him.
