This villain is too popular.

Chapter 42 The Long-Awaited Campus Life

At four o'clock in the afternoon, on the elevated road leading from the deep blue metropolis to the 'near-shore area', a business van with a simple exterior but an extremely luxurious interior was driving smoothly.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, Caroline, be gentle, be gentle."

Tiandao sat in the back of the van, his ear being forcefully pulled by Caroline, whose face was gloomy.

Ahead of the two, Chen Xing rested his chin on his right hand, gazing blankly out the car window, seemingly deep in thought.

As for Chen Kong, he was sitting next to Chen Xing at the moment, occasionally stealing glances at Coral Knight Wolf, who was driving in the driver's seat.

He clearly had a deep curiosity about it.

In the passenger seat, Yunmeng looked at Tiandao in the back seat, who kept casting pleading glances at her, and finally couldn't bear it and spoke up to say a good word for him.

"Alright, Caroline, let Tiandao go. If you keep pulling, you'll tear his ears off."

Upon hearing Yunmeng's words, Caroline was still somewhat dissatisfied with the Heavenly Dao's previous deception.

But in the end, he chose to let go of the hand that was gripping his ear.

In that instant, the Heavenly Dao came back to life.

He glanced at Caroline, who had turned her head away and was deliberately giving him the silent treatment.

I wisely avoided provoking her.

He patted Chen Kong on the shoulder and asked with feigned curiosity, "Kong, those last three shots of yours were quite interesting. How did you manage to incorporate your 'Void Rune' into the bullets?"

Although everyone knew that Tiandao was deliberately changing the subject to avoid discussing the 'prank' that had just occurred.

But those inside the carriage still pricked up their ears.

Because they were genuinely very curious about this.

Before today, they had never thought of Chen Kong, whom they had always regarded as a 'burden'.

It's incredible that they were able to accomplish such a feat in this 'test'.

Viewers outside the dimensional screen were equally curious about this.

If they remember correctly, the void's 'star energy nullification' should only be activated by 'touching'.

How come even bullets can now have the effect of 'star energy nullification'?

And everyone's attention is focused on him.

Chen Kong, who was somewhat socially awkward, explained the ins and outs of the matter to everyone through a series of stumbling descriptions.

It turns out that the reason why Dust Sky was able to make bullets also have the ability to 'nullify star energy' is because...

Its inspiration comes entirely from the core of the dust star, Bloodflame.

The Blood Flame is activated by using the blood of the user or the enemy as fuel, which then continuously burns to produce intense flames.

This operating principle immediately gave Chen Kong plenty of inspiration.

He wondered if his own blood could also be used as a medium to activate the 'Void Mark', just like the Blood Flame.

Because if this assumption holds true, then he will have the conditions to activate both 'Sky Pattern' and 'Dreamer' simultaneously.

Therefore, Chen Kong even took the initiative to approach the doctor and proposed his idea to him.

However, things did not go as smoothly as Chen Kong had imagined.

Because of the findings made by the doctoral student.

The reason why Dust Void's 'Void Pattern' can nullify other star energies is because...

The principle behind this is that the Void Pattern belongs to a highly infectious 'attributeless star energy'.

Any star trail that comes into contact with the 'Sky Pattern', regardless of its own structure.

The 'Void Pattern' can fundamentally and directly assimilate the 'Star Energy' within them, returning them to their most primitive 'attributeless' state.

Although this assimilation also has a certain upper limit, it is equivalent to a Void Pattern with 100 Star Energy Points only being able to assimilate a Star Orbit with 300 Star Energy Points.

Regardless, the power and domineering nature of the Sky Pattern are still clearly visible.

As for the relationship between 'star trails' and 'star energy'.

It's similar to the relationship between 'spells' and 'magic power' in the magical world.

Therefore, the so-called 'Void Pattern' can be regarded as a powerful 'attributeless star energy' with terrifying assimilation ability.

However, this leads to an unavoidable problem.

That is, while Dust Void's blood can temporarily preserve a portion of the 'Void Pattern'.

But in this star-filled world where 'stellar energy' is everywhere.

The effects of the Sky Pattern are never limited to the 'Star Trail' cast by the Star Envoy.

It is also affected by various types of non-star energy in the atmosphere.

Therefore, after some research, the doctor finally found a way to make the bullet briefly carry the "Void Pattern".

However, there are still three very demanding conditions.

Condition 1: Specially made bullet casings. Due to the extremely strong assimilative power of the Void Pattern, only certain rare materials can temporarily avoid being assimilated by the Void Pattern, making them very troublesome to manufacture.

Condition two: Sky Pattern Bullets can only be stored for a maximum of ten minutes. After that time, they will become ordinary bullets.

Condition three: The effective range of the Sky Pattern bullet is only ten meters at most. This is because the bullet's rapid movement will accelerate the interaction between the Sky Pattern inside the bullet and the external star energy, thereby greatly increasing its 'assimilation' speed.

Furthermore, the denser the star energy in the environment, the shorter the effective range of the Sky Pattern Bullet.

Despite these stringent conditions, the doctor still highly affirmed the effectiveness of the Sky Pattern Bullet.

After all, the Sky-Patterned Bullet, coupled with its 'low presence' characteristic.

The dust and smoke on the battlefield could very well have a surprise effect.

For example, in this battle with Coral Knight.

The Coral Knight, who had great confidence in his Star Source: Sea Thorn Coral, would have been in danger if he hadn't dodged immediately after noticing something amiss with his shield.

Even if he isn't killed by Dust Void's Void Pattern Bullet.

But at the very least, he will suffer a minor injury, or even a serious one.

After all, the more powerful a star envoy is, the more likely they are to blindly believe in their own 'star source'.

In this respect, Dust Void's Void Pattern can be considered the nemesis of all Star Envoys.

It is a bug-level ability that makes it extremely easy to defeat the strong with the weak and achieve a kill on the first meeting.

'In essence, the Void Mark is like cancer cells within stellar energy! I thought it was some kind of power akin to a rule.'

"Wait a minute, considering the effects of the Sky Crest, I think I understand why Dust Sky became the protagonist of the Stars. Do you think that in the future, for the sake of world peace, Dust Sky might single-handedly nullify all the stellar energy of the entire world?"

"Holy crap, I feel like there's a prophet here, taking a picture beforehand!"

"You know what, it actually seems like there might be a possibility!"

'No, if Chen Kong really does that, wouldn't he be making an enemy of all the Star Envoys in the world? Putting everything else aside, how will he get past Lao Tian? Do we really think our Lao Tian will let this happen?'

'Hmm, that seems to be true. Why does it suddenly feel like Lao Tian's situation is a bit precarious? Could he be playing the villain?'

'Is Lao Tian the villain? If so, I'd rather he succeed as the villain, after all, Lao Tian is more charismatic than Lao Kong!'

Inside the carriage, Tiandao looked at the comments on the dimensional screen and was slightly startled.

Because he didn't expect that among this group of dimensional viewers, there would actually be someone who could basically guess the general plot direction of Stellaris just by looking at the effect principle of Dust's 'Void Mark'.

That's right, the future of Dust Sky is indeed developing in this direction.

And just as the audience expected, Heaven was indeed prepared to go against Chen Kong.

This is not to say that Heaven deliberately opposes Chen Kong for the sake of popularity.

Even without the existence of the popularity system, Heaven does not want a world without 'Star Source' to appear.

After all, whether the world is at peace or not has never been related to the existence of the 'Star Source'.

As a transmigrator, he had personally witnessed what a world without 'Star Source' would be like.

I also understand that an overly idealistic world can only ever be an 'ideal' and will never become a real reality.

Chen Kongxiang envisioned creating what he considered a 'dream utopia'.

However, Heaven believed that such a utopia was detached from reality from the very beginning and could not be realized at all.

Therefore, in a sense, the biggest difference between the protagonist Dust Sky and other characters in Stellaris lies in his 'path conflict' with the others.

However, in the current Stellaris: Ember, there isn't even the most basic hint of these things yet.

Only after the second season, "Stars Glimmer," begins will the conflict between Dustfall and the other 35 Starchildren gradually unfold and intensify.
"Alright everyone, we've arrived."

Coral Knight Wolf drove his car into a detached villa in the Deep Blue Metropolis, near the coast.

He immediately stopped the car and told everyone that this would be their short-term stop for the foreseeable future.

Tiandao was the first to get out of the car, staring in amazement at the luxuriously decorated, expensive detached villa in front of him.

"Uncle, could this villa have been bought by your richest family for us to live in?"

Upon hearing Tiandao's words, Coral Knight Wolf pondered for a moment and said, "It wasn't prepared specifically for you guys, because the entire villa area around here belongs to my master, Dorian. He just took one out of it."

"what?"

Tiandao lowered his sunglasses and looked incredulously at the vast villa complex around him.

No, other people's villas are priced per building.

Dorian, the richest man in the country, does things differently; he calculates it directly by district.

Is this what life is like for the rich? It's so enviable!
"Alright everyone, as for my master Dorian, he will tell you everything when you meet him tonight."

"Now, please come with me."

"After all, if you want to get into Trilan Junior High School, you must first have a suitable identity that will not arouse suspicion."

"And no identity is more believable than that of an exchange student."

Led by Coral Knight Wolf, Tendou and the others quickly entered the villa in front of them.

And then I immediately saw the school uniforms being held by the maids, as well as the student certificates for exchange students.

Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Dao couldn't help but sigh in its heart.

The long-awaited campus life is about to begin again.
