Chapter 406 Being too shrewd is shameless!
"Oh"
Ato responded to the Queen's call and prepared to leave the Heavenly Secrets Hall.
However, he had only taken two steps when Carlos called him back.
"No, there's no fire, and I don't want to drink."
"..."
Ato glanced speechlessly at the purple-haired man, then returned to his seat to watch Ferro pilot the warship.
While I'm at it, I'll eavesdrop on that man's conversation with his queen.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about those unpleasant things anymore. Just forgive me for being too talkative earlier, okay?"
As she spoke, Morgana stepped forward and patted Carlos on the shoulder.
He seemed to be trying to avoid this topic that he disliked.
"..."
Carlos remained silent, feeling somewhat helpless about his sister-in-law who was always trying to take his hand.
This woman who likes to swear and curse is indeed a bit too oblivious.
Doesn't she know that men and women shouldn't touch each other?
We're not that close, so it would be really inappropriate for me to keep touching him inappropriately.
It's fortunate that his wife didn't know about these things, otherwise she would have made a huge fuss about it.
"Huh? Since you were expelled from the universe and stayed in that void plane for so long, didn't you ever think about coming back?"
Morgana removed her hand from his shoulder.
And she bluntly asked him whether the Void (Valor) would invade their known universe.
After all, the fact that he could appear in their world is enough to prove that the others in the Void (Valor) can also return to this universe!
If just one Void Envoy is this powerful, what would happen if a whole group of them came?
She had to find out beforehand what attitude his so-called Valo held toward their known universe.
She needs to guard against that old civilization that has been driven out as soon as possible.
"What? Are you worried that Valo's return will be detrimental to you?"
Carlos wasn't stupid; he understood his sister-in-law's implied meaning.
I just told her directly.
"Just asking. Besides, given our relationship, you wouldn't be my enemy, right?"
Morgana felt embarrassed by his blatant approach.
I could only laugh it off and brush him off.
"Don't worry, Valo won't come back, and he can't come back."
Seeing her trying to build a relationship with him, Carlos decided to "tell the truth".
Some people in the province are openly and secretly wary of him.
"why?"
Morgana was puzzled when she heard him say it so confidently.
After all, if he could cross dimensions to come to their universe, then others certainly could too.
As a civilization that has been expelled from the old era, how could they not want revenge?
How could they not want to return to their former world?
Surely it's not that the chaotic void environment is so good that they're reluctant to come back, right?
She didn't believe it was such a ridiculous reason.
"This relates to the ultimate fear you mentioned earlier."
Carlos deliberately kept everyone in suspense, refraining from revealing the ultimate secrets about the Chaos Realm directly.
Perhaps the name "Ultimate Fear" was too resounding, because even Ferro and Atto were now on high alert, eavesdropping.
They heard from their queen that this ultimate fear could destroy the universe!
We must listen carefully to this cosmic news!
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Morgana's eyes widened when she learned that he was really going to tell her about her ultimate fear.
He looked like he was listening attentively.
"First of all, the Ultimate Fear in our plane is a native creature of the Chaos Void Realm. Unlike us Valo, who are outsiders exiled there, it is a Void Spirit. Of course, we also call this kind of creature a Chaos Beast."
"Void Spirits are terrifying beings. Each one possesses unique and unconventional powers that defy common sense. The so-called ultimate fear is the leader of the Void Spirit race. In its pursuit of evolution, it devoured almost all of its kin, breaking its own evolutionary limits and reaching a state of indestructibility."
“Originally, we Valor would have been devoured by it too, but we were fortunate that the appearance of a true god prevented the ultimate terror. We call that god the Chaos God. He is an ascendant from a higher world. He descended into the void plane and began to fight against that ethereal being.”
"But the ultimate fear had evolved to an indelible degree. Even gods from higher worlds could not destroy that chaotic beast. So that true god used his life to suppress the ultimate fear in the dark abyss, but this seal could only last for less than 100,000 years."
"Ten thousand years later, the fear will break free of its seal. Both the Chaos Void Realm and this universe will face a true catastrophe, because no other Chaos God will be able to contend with the ultimate fear. Once the ultimate fear leaves the Dark Abyss, it will be the time of annihilation for all things."
Carlos told his sister-in-law the ultimate secret of the Chaos Realm that he knew.
He just didn't mention that there are "people" who can fight against the ultimate fear.
After all, the "human" capable of confronting ultimate fear has not yet grown up, so it's too early to say anything.
However, his words left Morgana speechless.
Even all the demons in the Heavenly Secrets Hall fell silent.
There was no other way; the main reason was that they felt inexplicably saddened upon learning that their world was ultimately destined to be destroyed by fear.
After remaining silent for more than twenty seconds, Morgana finally spoke.
Her voice carried a distinct heaviness.
"How long has it been since 100,000 years?"
"It's been almost 70,000 years, which means there are still 30,000 years left."
Carlos has another piece of bad news.
This caused Morgana to fall silent once again.
Yes, 30,000 years later, fear broke free, and all things perished.
What's the point of these so-called civilizations and gods fighting each other for supremacy?
In any case, they can't escape the fate of being consumed by fear.
Having already entered into eternal life, they truly find it difficult to accept the fact that the universe will be destroyed in 30,000 years.
Because no matter what they do, whoever becomes the king of the universe (gods) will ultimately die.
It's as if all of this has become meaningless.
This made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Don't overthink it, it's useless. Just do what you need to do."
Seeing that she had a long face and remained silent, Carlos offered a word of advice.
Hearing him say that, Morgana looked up at him, then let out a long breath and said.
"That's true. Anyway, there's still time, so I don't need to think about it too much."
Morgana finally understood why Karl wanted to study phantoms that defied the laws of physics.
His theory of ultimate fear has been proven: all life will eventually perish.
Perhaps only the eternity of consciousness is true eternity.
Karl's research is correct; those gods are all wrong...
"Overthinking is useless; it's better to cherish the time you have left."
Carlos offered another word of advice.
"Huh? You still haven't told me why the Valor refuse to come back. What does your staying in the Void have to do with the Ultimate Fear?"
Morgana suddenly realized that she had been led astray, so she asked again.
Since the arrival of ultimate fear is unavoidable, let's do something meaningful before we die.
At least I won't have lived in vain.
Therefore, she still wanted to sit in the position of King of the Gods.
We can't leave ourselves with regrets.
"We're responsible for guarding the seal. What if some foolish void creature runs over and breaks the seal?"
Carlos said it in a matter-of-fact tone.
But actually he was just talking nonsense.
He knew that Icathia couldn't open the planetary worm bridge because it was blocked by energy.
But how could he tell outsiders about something like this?
At this point, he should at least try to gain some good reputation for them, right?
For example, the reputation of guarding the seal of fear and protecting the two planes.
"Huh? Besides the Ultimate Fear, there are other void creatures?"
Morgana was shocked once again upon hearing this bad news.
If one ultimate fear could destroy the world, how could there be others?
So the Chaotic Void Realm is really teeming with monsters, right?
"Yes, for example, Void Devourers and Void Sea Spirits. Like the Void Protoss of Ultimate Fear, they all have the ability to evolve infinitely."
Carlos nodded, indicating that their Chaos Realm did not only have one type of Void Primal Being.
"Damn, what kind of lousy place is this? How could it breed so many monsters?"
Having received his affirmation, Morgana cursed helplessly.
At the same time, she was also speechless as to why Karl longed for such a world full of monsters.
He can't possibly be a phantom himself, unafraid of being killed by those void creatures, and then want to study and modify those monsters for his own use, can he?
If this is true, then Karl's ambition is extraordinary.
Or is the Void Era that dead guy mentioned something else entirely?
Tsk, I really don't understand.
"Rest assured, with us Valo guarding the Chaos Realm, no void creature can break through the planes to come to this universe."
Seeing her deep concern for the future, Carlos could only shamelessly claim credit for their civilization once again.
"Tch, you talk like you're so great."
Morgana glanced at the purple-haired guy.
"It's good to begin with, isn't it?"
Carlos continued to pat his civilization on the back.
"Alright, since Valor has the responsibility of guarding the seal of ultimate fear, then why did you cross the void to come to our world?"
Clearly, Morgana still didn't believe that the old civilization would behave itself in the Void.
She was convinced he was a spy sent by Valo to scout out their universe.
They wanted to find a suitable opportunity to bring his civilization back to their former world.
They knew perfectly well how dangerous the ultimate fear was, so how could they not want to stay away from that monster?
How could they possibly be willing to stand guard in front of the seal and wait to die?
She simply couldn't believe there could be such a fool (in a civilized way)!
"Come and play, is that not allowed?"
Seeing that she wouldn't stop asking questions, Carlos decided to make something up.
There are some things he doesn't want her to know, and even if she knew, it wouldn't make any difference; it would be meaningless.
"So, you said last time that you were working with Carl because of news about your sister?"
Morgana narrowed her eyes, looking at him with a hint of suspicion.
"Yeah, we can see her while we're at it."
Carlos nodded.
"So you helped Karl destroy Holy Keisha, and Karl didn't tell you about your sister?"
Morgana blinked, somewhat curious about how her deal with Karl had ended.
"Of course I told them."
"Have you found your sister yet?"
Morgana pressed for more information.
"Of course we found it."
Carlos had no intention of telling her that he was looking for his sister's reincarnation.
He was just going to give this temporary "borrowed boat" to his ally a perfunctory response.
"Where is she? Isn't she with you?"
Morgana was curious about what kind of person his sister was.
Or perhaps he was curious whether his sister had the same abilities as him.
After all, a mere Void Envoy was already capable of overwhelming most of the main gods in their known universe.
If another one comes along, wouldn't those siblings be able to roam freely in this universe?
She went back to Vallo, not with me.
Carlos frowned, somewhat displeased at being asked so many personal questions.
"Oh, right? You mentioned last time that you have a wife, right? Is she from our universe or your side? Could you introduce me to her sometime?"
Upon learning that his sister was not there, Morgana began inquiring about his wife.
It looked like they were checking someone's household registration.
There was no other way; she didn't want him to have any other helpers.
He alone is difficult enough to deal with.
It would be even more troublesome if there were other helpers.
"Tsk, you ask way too many questions."
Carlos gave the other person a displeased look.
There's no way he can just say that his wife is your older sister Keisha, can he?
"It was just a casual question, you can leave it at that."
Seeing that the other person was unhappy, Morgana had no choice but to stop asking.
"You should be focusing your attention on Hua Ye right now, instead of being curious about my private affairs."
Carlos gave his sister-in-law, who had gone astray, a somewhat helpless reminder.
"I know, I know. Let's continue talking about Hua Ye. Oh, and let me make this clear: I can't help you find that old scoundrel for nothing. You have to give me something in return."
Morgana knew that his Void Barrier was not afraid of Hua Ye's weapon with black hole capabilities.
Therefore, it's highly likely that he was able to kill Hua Ye.
So now she has to talk to him about the "division of spoils" in advance.
She couldn't let her efforts go unrewarded.
"Huh? Benefits?"
Carlos could hardly believe what he had just heard.
His gaze toward Morgana was filled with disbelief.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
Morgana puffed out her chest, speaking in a tone that seemed perfectly natural.
"I helped you kill Hua Ye, okay? You don't give me any benefits and instead ask me for them? Is that fair?"
Carlos never expected his sister-in-law to be so shameless.
He really had an eye-opening day.
"Hey, hey, hey? Stop, stop! You're helping He Xi kill Hua Ye, you're helping Angel Nebula get rid of a menace, not me!"
Morgana said she didn't need to appreciate his kindness at all.
Because his original intention was not to help her, otherwise their last negotiation would not have fallen apart.
"Wouldn't Hua Ye pose a greater threat to you if he were alive?"
Seeing her spouting nonsense, Carlos felt helpless.
"Who said that? Now that Kunsa is gone and I have no fixed abode, I can wander around the universe. How could that old rogue find me? Besides, my Demon One's location tracking ability is the best in the universe. If he comes looking for me, I'll just run away."
"But Melo is different. Hua Ye can find Melo, and Melo is the foundation of all angels. He can't be moved. When Hua Ye reassembles his million-strong army of fallen angels, the first thing he will do is take down Melo. Do you believe that?"
Morgana continued to explain to Carlos why she didn't need to be grateful.
That's just indescribable!
That's incredibly shrewd and shameless!
