Chapter 223: Chaos: Nobody Actually Goes to the Sun Just for Fun, Right?
After being driven away by Noah from the Heavenly Fox's side and having his envoy, the Heavenly Fox, who remained on Earth killed by Noah, Chaos had been silently waiting in the Void.
Indeed, the Holes he left in the universe where Noah resided were not limited to the one near the Heavenly Fox.
Just as Noah had speculated, aside from that Hole, Chaos had left two others.
One was an exceptionally small Hole located within the Sun—this was the most concealed of them all. Once Chaos could fully emerge from the Void, he intended to use this Hole to directly descend around the Sun.
His ability to influence the physical movements of the Sun relied precisely on this Hole.
The other Hole was located outside the Solar System, and it was also one he planned to use for his operations.
After the Heavenly Fox died and the Hole on that side was abandoned, Chaos had been quietly moving the Hole outside the Solar System closer to it.
In his plan, if this Hole were to be observed by Noah, Noah's attention would be drawn to it, thereby overlooking something more fundamental.
That was the Hole he had hidden within the Sun.
Chaos had been using this Hole to absorb the Sun's energy.
Although this process was slow, once he had absorbed enough energy to descend into this universe, he could directly descend around the Sun through this method.
According to the Interstellar Migration Laws, he should not directly descend around a star in a galaxy, replacing its originally energy-depleted stellar Core with this Sun.
But the first to violate the Interstellar Migration Laws was that Noah, that Earth!
They resisted his attempt to excavate twenty-one percent of Earth!
Thus, with them violating the laws first, he could fully occupy their star and trigger a Supernova to cleanse the entire galaxy.
Then, he would use the original location of their galaxy to reconstruct his home planet and revive his civilization.
This was Chaos's plan.
Of course, his plan was not without flaws.
This was an issue Chaos had been preparing for all along.
Although Earth's civilization appeared less powerful than the one that created it, Noah, in his observations, was an existence that exceeded the specifications of Earth's current civilization.
If he were at his peak, there would be nothing to worry about.
But in his current state, if the other party were to recklessly enter through the Hole he was moving toward the Solar System, they might have the ability to kill him in his current energy-deficient state.
In Chaos's calculations, the probability of Noah killing him was one percent, but the probability of Noah dragging him down in mutual destruction was thirty percent.
Thus, Chaos was unwilling to take risks regarding this issue.
After all, he was the last spark of his home planet, and he believed his existence and Noah's were not of equal value.
Mutual destruction would mean his defeat.
This led him to prepare for this potential mishap while using the Hole approaching the Solar System to pressure Noah and divert his attention.
His plan for this was simple.
He intended to use a method that was not sophisticated but absolutely effective to counter the unexpected.
That was to modify the Hole during its approach to the Solar System.
————From the very beginning, the Hole was modified into a state where an entity named Noah absolutely could not enter!
This way, the other party would have no way to perish together with him no matter what.
As for the other party discovering the hidden door he left on the sun's side?
That was absolutely impossible!
Because what kind of creature would casually come to the sun's side and think about seeing what the inside of the sun was like?
Chaos did not think Noah was incapable of doing this; it was just that he felt Noah would not expend effort on such a completely meaningless task.
Then, of course, he would not discover his hidden door either.
Thus.
It was just that executing the plan required some time.
But...
Chaos, whose main body was located in the Void and was still slowly recovering energy, was not lacking in time, was he?
...
Noah and Altera used the Starship's domain to bring a large number of special meteorites back to Earth, then returned to the new large city he had established at the location where the original Great Qin once stood.
After all, he was forging the world's Grand Crown, and this was currently the most frontline position.
At the same time, because Great Qin had left almost nothing behind after departing, Noah was also using this method to drive the construction and development of the entire eastern region.
After bringing these meteorites back, he contacted Kay and asked him to send over "those materials collected from the Underground Demonic Beasts" during this period.
Afterward, he planned to wait until all the materials arrived before informing Morgan about this matter.
Then he would personally participate, directly upgrading the armaments to a higher level.
But he was not in a hurry about this.
In fact, he even planned to wait a few days until the third volume's simulation opened, first using the simulation to see the future situation, select a few tags, and then make targeted changes accordingly.
So after returning, he continued handling miscellaneous affairs and carried on with his normal activities.
However, when he returned to his bedchamber to sleep at night, he found Morgan, who had already been sitting on the bed early, wearing a nightgown and frowning as she looked at a book in her hand.
He rarely saw Morgan like this, so after changing his clothes, he leaned close to her.
"What's wrong? Have you encountered any problems recently?"
Hearing Noah's voice, Morgan was startled.
Clearly, she had been too absorbed in her thoughts earlier, to the point where she hadn't even noticed Noah's return.
But after being startled, Morgan closed the book in her hand and sighed helplessly.
"I have indeed encountered a problem... it's about the Fairy Knights."
Regarding the Fairy Knights, Noah had fully entrusted the matter to her. So, in response to Scáthach's proposal—since they couldn't obtain Saint Graphs, they should focus entirely on upgrading their armaments—Morgan had conducted targeted research. However, because there were no results and the problem remained unresolved, she hadn't reported it to Noah.
But now that Noah asked, she naturally explained the situation.
"Upgrading armaments... I actually had some ideas about this after you subdued the Black Knight, the external member 02, and I saw her Starship and the Umbral Star Technology you brought back."
"However, we have ideas and technology—but the problem with our materials is exceptionally significant. At least until new materials emerge, we can use those to improve existing armaments, but a direct revolution isn't yet realistic."
As she spoke, Morgan shook the book in her hand toward Noah.
It was a book titled Alchemical Materials Science.
"See, I'm still pondering the issue of new materials."
Though she said this, seeing that Noah had returned, Morgan casually placed the book on the bedside table, her brows gradually relaxing as a faint smile appeared on her face.
—She didn't want Noah to keep seeing her looking worried.
Upon hearing her words, Noah smiled and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.
"If it's this problem, then don't dwell on it... Well, though I hadn't originally planned to act so soon, I'll open a portal tomorrow to bring something over. Then, come with me tomorrow—I'll show you something."
Hearing Noah say this, Morgan was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes lit up.
"New materials?"
At her question, Noah chuckled.
"Yes, new materials! And not just any—they're among the most top-tier materials I know of, ones that can't be fully forged with a normal furnace. To bring out all their intricate details, they must be forged using the sun as a natural furnace!"
