"That…"
Ge Xiaolun led his comrades to Yang Tao's throne. His gaze was complex. Compared to Holy Keisha, the Queen of Angels he had seen before, Yang Tao gave him a more approachable feeling, but what he did was even tougher than Holy Keisha.
"You're Ge Xiaolun, right?"
Yang Tao looked at the somewhat nervous Ge Xiaolun, a friendly smile on his face, and stood directly from the throne.
'Finally, he's up! When I get back, I'll melt this thing down and turn it all into business cards!'
"I… am Ge Xiaolun."
"Galactic Force, I heard of your great name, Ge Xiaolun, the Galactic Force, as soon as I came to this world."
Yang Tao walked over to Ge Xiaolun. To be honest, Ge Xiaolun's appearance was decent; he was quite a spirited young man.
However, his face made it easy for people to see him as an 'honest person,' and 'honest people' aren't very popular these days.
"From today onwards, Earth's crisis is resolved. What are your plans for the future?"
Ge Xiaolun looked at Yang Tao with a silly expression.
'This topic changed too quickly, didn't it?'
"I don't know either, maybe just go home and get a job or something…"
"Then are you interested in working with me? I think highly of you."
"I'll pass. I really don't like a life of constant fighting and killing."
Ge Xiaolun, to put it plainly, was an ordinary young man. If he hadn't been the carrier of the Galactic Force gene, he might have lived his entire life ordinarily: going to school, working, getting married, having children, and then just living out his days.
He used to think such a life was boring, but after this war, he found that the peaceful life he once looked down upon had now become a luxury.
Yang Tao smiled and didn't mind. He was just a Galactic Force; since the other party disagreed, he wouldn't force him.
"Alright, actually, a peaceful life is quite good. I really want to open a small supermarket…"
Yang Tao looked to his side, where a figure in a black, ornate cloak stood. Seeing his gaze, the other party smiled.
His handsome face and the strands of golden hair falling from beneath his cloak gave him a neutral beauty.
"Dead God Karl?"
Yang Tao stared at the other party. There was no health bar above his head, indicating that he had appeared here using a special method.
"Esteemed Mr. Yang, I am indeed Karl. I am not a Dead God, merely a person exploring the truth of the universe…"
Oh my god!
The Death Singer was wearing Ezreal's head!
If Yang Tao hadn't understood the information, he would have definitely mistaken Dead God Karl for Ezreal.
"Your theory has no meaning to me, but I also have a set of theories. Would you like to see them?"
"I'd love to hear it!"
"Hmm… I found you."
Karl:???
Within the Warp, Yang Tao found Karl's soul. He had transformed himself into a Warp creature, and his Overworld body was merely a projection.
He could now be called a 'Void Demon.'
"Karl, I'll let you see what you've been studying all along…"
Just as Karl was still shocked that Yang Tao could freely enter and exit the void, an extremely peculiar fluctuation emanated from Yang Tao's body.
Karl, who had 2.4 million health in the Warp, only felt that the Yang Tao before him had undergone a world-shattering change.
"Karl, you work very hard… I can feel the longing within your heart. You need knowledge; knowledge can bring you satisfaction…"
"This is truly great!"
Yang Tao's voice sounded no different to himself, but it gave Karl an urge to go home and study.
As soon as this thought arose, countless books appeared around him.
The titles on their covers made his heart pound. He felt a sense that if he read all the books here, he would grasp all the secrets of the universe, and he would become an omnipotent and omnipresent being.
At this moment, he forgot the Styx Civilization, forgot the Great Clock, forgot the Super Theological Academy, forgot everything. He only wanted to learn.
Karl reached out his hand, placed it on a book, and opened it. A peculiar power flowed into his body. Although there was nothing on the book, Karl's face showed an expression of sudden realization.
He flipped through the books faster and faster.
His expression also became increasingly distorted. His body began to swell and contort, and pink tentacles drilled out from within him.
"Knowledge… Knowledge…"
Nauseating liquid flowed from his body.
"Not enough! Not enough!!"
The surrounding books were coiled by his tentacles and all stuffed into the gaping maw that had opened on his body.
Twisting, writhing…
Yang Tao looked at Karl below him, a faint smile on his face, feeling no discomfort. He was merely letting Karl experience the 'Ultimate Void' he had been researching.
After Slaanesh was killed by the Ultima Iron Golem Titan, he gained Slaanesh's transformation ability. He hadn't tried it before, but it seemed to work well now.
He turned to Morgana beside him and smiled, "This is probably the Ultimate Void he wanted. How do you feel? Do you want to see what you call the 'Ultimate Fear'?"
Morgana's soul looked at Karl, who had completely lost himself, and remained silent.
"What exactly is this?"
"This is a part of desire, and all I did was raise the upper limit of his desire."
However, desire has no upper limit.
"And the satisfaction he previously gained will never appear again…"
"He will constantly seek new knowledge, new satisfaction to fill his incredibly empty heart."
Yang Tao looked at Morgana's expression and asked with a chuckle, "Do you want to try? Don't worry, I won't make you read books!"
"Yang Tao, you are the true demon."
Yang Tao chuckled and waved his hand.
The domain formed by Slaanesh's ability instantly vanished, along with Karl, who had completely succumbed to being a Slaanesh demon.
"Demon? Haha, this is just one Karl… In another universe, countless souls experience what Karl just experienced every moment."
"And I merely satisfied his desire. Now he has completely merged with the void he spoke of, which can be considered fulfilling his long-held wish."
He said, reaching out and pulling over a mass of energy.
"This might be a part of Karl…"
"To be honest, you should be glad you met me, otherwise, the moment you saw me, you would have already fallen into being a Slaanesh demon."
"As long as you become a Slaanesh demon, you can do whatever you want… even grind tofu with Holy Keisha, even with a dog passing by on the road, or a corpse in the morgue, or the flowers and plants by the roadside. If you wish, even souls after death are fine. Is that the freedom you seek?"
Morgana's expression became extremely dramatic. Her doctrine of degradation was utterly defeated by Yang Tao's libertarian rhetoric.
"No, you… You are the true demon!!"
