Lin Feng himself could traverse the Fourth Wall because he was originally from outside the Fourth Wall, maintaining an unbreakable connection to Blue Star beyond it.
Therefore, once Lin Feng's strength reached the required standard, he was confident in returning to the Fourth Wall.
As for how the native inhabitants of this universe could traverse the Fourth Wall, Lin Feng was uncertain.
The only thing he could confirm was that strength was only a part of the equation.
Because in the movie version, Deadpool's strength was, well, just so-so.
Standing before Lin Feng, Lin Feng could have annihilated him with a mere flick of his finger.
Yet, such a Deadpool could break the Fourth Wall and communicate with the audience outside.
From this, it could be seen that strength was not a prerequisite, but Lin Feng needed strength to return to the outside of the Fourth Wall.
"Ah!" Egath sighed heavily.
"What's the point of playing this game? How can we possibly deduce Zero's strength then?!"
So, after all this, they had gained nothing but a piece of information that shocked both him and Old Man Luo?
"Uh, it's not entirely without opportunity," Lin Feng countered.
"For those who don't possess the unknown conditions I mentioned, strength is indeed one of the indispensable factors..."
"So, what exactly are these conditions?" Luo Yongtian chimed in.
Lin Feng gave him a glare.
"I already told you, I don't know!"
"I only know that some people, lacking sufficient strength, can still break the Fourth Wall, even travel outside it, but this ability is uncontrollable."
"Deadpool, ever heard of him?"
Deadpool?
Egath sat up straighter.
"Heard of him? Of course, I've heard of him."
"Capturing a live Deadpool is one of the missions that yields the most contribution points in the Black Robe."
Having said that, Egath revealed a look of sudden realization.
Deadpool wasn't strong, but he could traverse the Fourth Wall?
Good heavens, he finally understood why Zero had been searching for Deadpool all along.
And he also understood why that bastard Deadpool was so hard to catch.
Being able to communicate with the audience, he would surely know something, or be able to do something that others couldn't!
"Tell me, Shan Hai, your goal of destroying Black Robe and thus joining it, isn't it to prevent Zero from breaking, or rather, traveling outside the Fourth Wall?"
Luo Yongtian suddenly spoke.
Although he asked in a questioning tone, Luo Yongtian was certain that this was Lin Feng's objective.
Lin Feng replied, "More than ninety percent likely, yes."
"If Zero is allowed to go outside the Fourth Wall, who knows what might happen, but it won't be anything good for these countless universes..."
"Of course, there are other reasons I cannot tell you, but I can say that the destruction of Black Robe would be a good thing for all innocent people..."
Lin Feng stated his stance.
He was unwilling to reveal the information about his own transmigration to these two.
It was best that only he knew about such things; telling others might lead to unforeseen circumstances.
"What about you two? What are your reasons for wanting to destroy Black Robe?"
After explaining himself, Lin Feng asked back, shifting the topic to Luo Yongtian and the other.
Luo Yongtian chuckled, "Didn't you investigate our information? You know our objectives, yet you don't know the reasons?"
His words carried a hint of playful banter, but they didn't break through Lin Feng's defenses.
"Well, I know some of it, but hearing it directly from you would be more convincing, wouldn't it?!"
"The information I got was that you two couldn't stand Black Robe's actions."
"I find that a bit far-fetched. Are you really that noble? I don't believe it!" Lin Feng said with a mocking laugh.
It was a good-natured mockery, and the two could feel it and didn't get angry.
"Why can't we be that noble!" Luo Yongtian retorted with a huff.
"The information you received is correct. We truly couldn't stand Zero's actions, which is why we conceived the idea of destroying Black Robe."
"Really?" Lin Feng's face was etched with disbelief.
"I can vouch for that!" Egath chimed in, stepping forward to support Old Man Luo.
"However, it's true that it's not purely about simply not being able to stand it."
"Over the many years of its development, the Black Robe organization has disrupted the balance of too many universes."
"This goes against the original intentions of why Old Man Luo and I joined Black Robe..." Egath said, a look of reminiscence in his eyes, as he lifted his wine glass and took a large gulp.
"Old Man Luo's original universe was also destroyed under Black Robe's actions, am I correct."
Egath said, his gaze fixed on Luo Yongtian as he drank.
Luo Yongtian sighed.
"Yes, it was only much later that I learned about this matter..."
"Never mind me, if it weren't for Black Robe, wouldn't you still be traveling the universe, Egath..."
"Black Robe should not exist. Its existence has ruined far too many universes, truly, far too many..."
Luo Yongtian spoke, his face grim, making it impossible to discern his expression.
He had initially thought that by joining Black Robe, he could improve the fate of his own universe, which was heading towards destruction, and protect his family.
Who would have thought that joining Black Robe not only failed to achieve his goals but also accelerated the destruction of his original universe.
What was even more infuriating was that he only learned about this much later.
Lin Feng's brow furrowed.
For some reason, he could detect a hint of sadness and nostalgia in Luo Yongtian's words.
Seeing Lin Feng's confusion, Egath leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Old Man Luo used to have a daughter..."
Used to have a daughter?
Lin Feng paused for a moment, but then immediately understood.
If she used to have one, it meant she didn't now?
Looking at Old Man Luo's demeanor, and coupled with Egath's remark, Lin Feng knew that the death of Luo Yongtian's daughter was likely also related to Black Robe...
This... Lin Feng admitted he wasn't very good at comforting people...
He guessed that perhaps Luo Yongtian taking him as an adopted son was also due to this reason...
"Well, I'm not good at comforting words, Old Man Luo."
"But now, isn't the opportunity for revenge right before us?!"
Lin Feng scratched his head awkwardly.
What a damned awkward situation, he truly was bad at comforting people.
"It's alright! I've already moved past it." Luo Yongtian waved his hand, forcing a smile.
"Shan Hai is right, the opportunity for revenge is right in front of us, we should face it head-on..."
Egath agreed with a smile, "That's right, we should seize this opportunity."
"Honestly, I've already thought about what I'll do after destroying Black Robe!"
"I'm going to take Aaron and continue to fulfill the promise I made with her mother, to continue our cosmic journey..."
He said this with a smile, but when he mentioned Aaron's mother, Lin Feng keenly noticed a flash of cold hatred in Egath's eyes.
Of course, this hatred wasn't directed at Aaron's mother, but at... Black Robe...
Lin Feng quietly drank his wine, not asking for further details.
It seemed these two were indeed not as noble as they claimed, and their motives were mixed with personal vengeance!
