After recovering from his panic, Death God Karl took a deep breath and decided to return to a normal life.
He thought to himself that now he only needed to wait quietly for Lu Renjia to arrive, and there was no need to be so anxious.
He summoned Nasus and said to him solemnly, "Nasus, the defense of Deathsong Academy is now entirely in your hands. This is a great responsibility, and I hope you will not let me down."
"Yes, my God. I will do my utmost and never betray your trust. I will not let even a mosquito fly in."
Nasus responded respectfully, but inwardly he was laughing hysterically.
He knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally arrived. As long as he successfully completed this mission, he could rise to the top and become the second-in-command of the Styx civilization.
At that time, the remaining beast warriors, even if unwilling, would have no choice but to obediently follow his orders.
Overall, Death Knight was quite satisfied with Nasus.
After all, many of the findings about the soul in his research were put into practice in his own life.
He is a fairly good experimental subject.
"If you discover anything unusual, report it to me immediately. You need to understand that Lu Renjia is no ordinary enemy. He is a ruthless character who can destroy even the powerful Angel Civilization. You alone cannot handle him."
After giving another serious explanation, Death God Karl turned and went back to his room, needing to relax his constantly tense nerves.
From this moment forward, Nasus becomes the most powerful person in Deathsong Academy.
Death God Karl also conveyed this message to the other beast warriors, warning them to behave themselves.
"Damn it, why does that dog-headed guy deserve my god's favor? What do I lack compared to him?" The tiger-headed humanoid beast warrior complained bitterly.
"That's right! If he hadn't been chosen by my god and luckily upgraded to a fourth-generation divine body, I don't think I'm any worse than him!" The beast-body warrior with a turtle head and a human body, and a huge green turtle shell on his back, also chimed in indignantly.
However, since things have come to this point, there's nothing they can do no matter how unwilling they are.
Death God Karl's orders are like divine law, absolutely inviolable.
Nasus listened to their complaints and sneered inwardly.
All of this was earned with his life; how could these guys, who didn't even have the courage to face Death Karl, compare?
"Hmph, you think this is luck? I earned this through my own hard work. If you don't have the guts to fight, you'll always be trampled under my feet!"
Nasus smiled confidently, then strode outside.
However, not long after Nasus walked out, an unexpected scene unfolded.
Lu Renjia appeared before him in a very open and unreserved manner, and then walked straight toward the office where Death God Karl was.
Nasus was completely unaware, only feeling a gentle breeze on his face.
"I think I just heard someone say something like, 'I won't even let a mosquito in,' but why isn't anyone stopping me now?" Lu Renjia said with a slight upturn of his lips, a half-smile on his face.
Seeing this, Karl, the Grim Reaper from 1200 years ago, couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
I remembered that Snow had said something similar before he was arrested.
I never imagined that my subordinates, twelve hundred years later, would say such things.
For some reason, these words made him feel inexplicably uneasy, and this feeling of unease grew stronger in his heart.
Although Lu Renjia has not shown any murderous intent towards him so far, it is precisely because of this that he feels increasingly uneasy.
He knew that a truly terrifying, bloodthirsty beast would not easily bare its fangs before launching an attack.
Lu Renjia walked to the door of the room where Death God Karl was, and gently snapped his fingers. Instantly, the dimensional wall rapidly expanded, completely enveloping the entire room.
Death Karl, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his gaze sharp as lightning, staring intently at the door of the room.
"Bang!!!"
A deafening crash resounded as the incredibly sturdy door, which even the Heavenly Blade Judgment could not penetrate, was shattered into pieces with a single, decisive kick.
"Despite all the precautions, it still couldn't be prevented? Even so, I'm not without a chance of winning."
Death God Karl pondered to himself that even if he couldn't defeat Lu Renjia, he was at least confident of saving his own life.
Lu Renjia slowly walked into the room, then went straight to Death Karl and sat down casually.
"Wow, this must be the first time I've seen you in person, Death God Karl." Lu Renjia said, looking Death God Karl with great interest.
"Indeed. But I didn't expect your growth rate to be so fast. In such a short period of time, you have actually surpassed the Angel Civilization and the Demon Civilization."
Death God Karl replied calmly, without any fear.
By this time, he had come to terms with it. He felt that as long as he was willing to give up everything he had, no one could kill him.
They also didn't believe that the mere Neither Serth could stop Lu Renjia.
Upon hearing this, Lu Renjia raised an eyebrow slightly. "So you mean the Styx civilization is still more powerful than me?"
Death God Karl slowly raised his head, looked directly at Lu Renjia, and said in a calm tone: "It's not that the Styx Civilization is stronger than you, but that I am superior to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire room fell into a deathly silence, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Outside the room, Karl, the Grim Reaper from 1,200 years ago, was dumbfounded upon hearing these words.
He never imagined that he would be so arrogant in this era.
But right now, he is completely unable to move, like a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others.
Inside the room, Death God Karl was fully focused, ready to escape into the void like Principal Kieran of Space School at any moment in order to save his life.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, Lu Renjia burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
It has to be said that Death God Karl's words successfully amused him.
"Above me? With those beast warriors outside? Or with the void behemoth you hide in the shadows? Or perhaps with your stupid illusionary form?" Lu Renjia said sarcastically.
He already had seven or eight ways to deal with illusions.
In his eyes, the mere illusionary body was no longer an insurmountable problem.
As for the Void Beast, he considered it a joke. What threat could that thing pose to him?
Do you intend to use this to banish him to the void?
Don't be ridiculous. With the Flying Thunder God Technique and the dimensional barrier, the thing he fears least is being banished.
Upon hearing this, Death God Karl merely chuckled softly: "None of that. Just the fact that you can't kill me already puts me above you. If I wanted to, no one in this world could kill me."
"Are you that confident?"
"That's right, that's how confident I am. My confidence is built up over a long period of time, not just empty talk."
Indeed, for the past 1,200 years since he became a phantom, he has always been confident in his abilities.
With a "bang," Lu Renjia suddenly made his move.
With lightning speed, it instantly destroyed Death Karl's body, except for his head.
However, this seemingly deadly attack had no effect whatsoever.
Death God Karl's body regenerated rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if he had not suffered the slightest damage at all.
"See? As long as it's not an attack targeting the soul, I won't be harmed at all. And I've already found a way to deal with it, so I'm superior to you."
Death God Karl said with an arrogant expression.
Suddenly Lu Renjia laughed and said, "Is that so? Then you can experience the pain!"
With a snap of his fingers, Karl, the Grim Reaper from 1200 years ago, had one of his fingers crushed outside the room.
Intense pain shot straight to the top of his head; it was a pain so severe it felt like his ten fingers were connected to his heart.
At the same time, Death God Karl in the room also felt a sharp pain in his finger.
"How is this possible!"
