In the deep and mysterious depths of the universe, Death Karl stood like a statue.
Beneath his stern face, his nerves were taut like a bowstring, showing no sign of letting up.
The air around him seemed to freeze under his tension, every molecule filled with a sense of oppression.
However, in another corner, Lu Renjia appeared extremely content.
He was slowly munching on fried chicken, the golden, crispy skin making a soft "crunch" between his teeth, while he savored the tender, juicy meat.
His eyes held a mocking glint, as if he were looking at Death Karl as if he were watching a comical monkey, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, as if there was a hint of a sarcastic smile.
"How can this guy from 1200 years in the future be so stubborn? He's been made a fool of like a dog, but he still hasn't realized it."
Karl, the Grim Reaper from 1200 years ago, was speechless. He simply couldn't believe that he himself in this era was so stubborn.
In his opinion, given his current personality, he shouldn't be so fixated on one thing.
Indeed, if it weren't for Lu Renjia's unexpected intervention...
Death God Karl could have maintained his detached demeanor and avoided this predicament.
But ever since Lu Renjia appeared, he was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up huge waves and greatly impacting his worldview.
He had to make changes because his old set of rules seemed to have lost their effectiveness in front of Lu Renjia.
He used to be the biggest schemer in the Super God Universe, always so calm and collected, as if everything was under his control.
But now, faced with Lu Renjia's seemingly superhuman abilities, they have no choice but to focus too much attention on him.
When your gaze is overly focused on one thing, it's like being trapped in a dark vortex; your vision becomes incredibly narrow, and you can no longer see anything else around you.
Just like the Grim Reaper Karl now, he has blind faith in the Great Clock, firmly believing that if the Great Clock detects no problems, then it is truly flawless.
Little did he know that it was this excessive dependence that had led him into his current predicament, where he was being led by the nose by Lu Renjia.
Time passed slowly, and the universe seemed to fall into a deathly silence, a silence so profound it was terrifying.
Karl, the Grim Reaper of this era, was always on edge, waiting for the things he imagined to happen.
He believed that Lu Renjia would lose his temper and would immediately make a move against him under this oppressive atmosphere.
However, as time passed by, minute by minute.
Everything went wrong; it all seemed to be just wishful thinking on his part.
“How could he possibly continue to endure this? Absolutely not! He must be watching from somewhere nearby, waiting for the right moment to strike!” Death God Karl’s eyes turned crazed.
His gaze darted through the surrounding darkness, as if Lu Renjia's cunning figure might be lurking in every shadow.
He started to become somewhat obsessed, feeling that no matter which direction he looked, Lu Renjia might emerge from there like a ghost.
So he kept searching with the large clock.
However, no trace of Lu Renjia was ever reported, as if Lu Renjia had completely disappeared from this universe.
"Ugh! Damn it! I don't believe you can keep this up forever. You'll be the first one to lose your temper!"
Death God Karl roared madly in his room at Deathsong Academy. His once cold and composed demeanor had vanished, replaced by a state of near madness.
His roar echoed in the empty room, as if trying to shatter the silence of the universe.
Looking at Karl, the Grim Reaper, who was on the verge of being driven mad by him, Lu Renjia felt a pang of pity.
He sighed softly and muttered to himself, "Sigh, look how driven this child is, almost to madness. Oh well, he's still the chief god of the Styx civilization, let's give him some hope."
Karl, the Grim Reaper from 1200 years ago, twitched at the corner of his mouth upon hearing this, inwardly cursing.
This guy is shameless. He played us for fools and now he's pretending to have pity on us.
Lu Renjia glanced at Death God Karl beside him, then repeated the action he had just performed.
He reached out and gently enveloped the chicken skeleton in his hand with his mental power, and the chicken skeleton slowly rose under the influence of his mental power.
Then, he threw it into the dimensional wall.
The next moment, an astonishing scene unfolded in the universe.
A meteor, several times larger than the previous one, streaked across the dark cosmos and hurtled toward Death Song Academy.
The meteor burned with brilliant flames, trailing a long tail, like an angry dragon, exuding a chilling aura.
Seeing this, Death God Karl, who was already on the verge of madness, revealed a ferocious smile, which looked particularly terrifying in the firelight.
"I knew it! I knew it! You were the one who couldn't resist!" he shouted excitedly, his eyes gleaming with a mad light.
Immediately afterwards, he activated the Death Song Academy's defense system.
In an instant, countless beams of light carrying an aura of destruction shot out from every corner of the academy, heading towards the meteor like a dense rain.
They intertwine, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are a myriad of streams of light.
"Boom!!!"
In an instant, a deafening explosion resounded throughout the universe, a sound like the roar of the cosmos, shaking every corner.
The explosion produced fireworks that, like a rising star, shone brilliantly in the dark universe.
The light illuminated a vast expanse of space, making the surrounding stars pale in comparison.
"Kill him!!!"
The moment the fireworks faded, the beast warriors, under the command of Death Karl, surged forward like a tidal wave towards the direction from which the meteor had come.
Their eyes burned with fury; they had never been so tormented since their creation, and each of them wished they could tear Lu Renjia to pieces.
However, when they got closer to the center of the explosion, they found that they had been tricked once again!
"It's just a skeleton again! We've been tricked again!"
A beast-like warrior roared angrily, brandishing its weapon with its thick arms, appearing extremely frustrated.
"Damn little thief, you've been playing tricks on us time and time again. Are you scared now?!" another beast warrior roared, its fangs gleaming coldly in the firelight.
"If he shows up, I'll tear him to pieces and make him wish he were dead!"
The other beast warriors roared in anger, their voices echoing through the universe, filled with rage and resentment.
Lu Renjia smiled jokingly. Teasing those beast warriors was secondary; teasing Death God Karl was the main thing.
At this moment, Death God Karl stood there, stunned, staring blankly at the chicken skeletons suspended among the beast army.
"How could this be?! I... I've been tricked..."
