Chapter 1484 Abyss Breath
"Is it lightning? What's the principle behind it? Is the power of stars like hair, standing on end when you're struck by lightning, making it easier to break through defenses?" Negris asked, puzzled.
Ang nodded.
"Pfft... What do you mean by nodding? Did I guess right? The power of the stars really stood up because of the electricity? I was just kidding." Even though Negris could translate Ang's words, it found it too absurd and preferred to doubt whether it had guessed wrong rather than believe that Ang really meant it.
Ang said, "Starfire Lightning, destruction, arrangement, not tight anymore."
Although it's not as simple as Negris described, the principle is the same, so it's not wrong.
The starlight lightning invaded the power of the stars, disrupting their arrangement and thus reducing their defensive capabilities.
Sometimes we have to admit that luck can change the course of history. Starfire Lightning was just a byproduct of Starfire Holy Light, not released by the little angel. It was an ionization phenomenon generated when Starfire Holy Light moved in the void. Without this phenomenon, the power of Starfire Holy Light would not be affected.
Who would have thought that this lightning would have such a rare weakening effect on the power of the stars?
Although it cannot completely eliminate the defense, weakening it by 20% or 30% is enough to make a difference between being able to break through the defense and not being able to.
After crushing all three skulls, I extracted the souls inside and performed a soul search.
However, Ang had anticipated that these skeletons had no memories in their souls. They were clearly souls without intelligence, controlled by Gmezburg's projected will. However, controlling seven bodies at once was a bit overwhelming for him, so his reactions were somewhat sluggish.
Once Ang smashed their heads off, Gmezburg's consciousness dissipated, leaving only the skeletons' own souls, making them appear foolish. In this state, they still dared to glare at Ang, showing no self-awareness whatsoever.
If they existed, they would have long since vanished like the giant spider's soul.
Unable to find any useful information, Ang crushed the soul and threw it to the king and the little zombie.
After seeing that Ang had finished dealing with the matter, Anthony said, "It seems that the environment of the Devouring Abyss is just right to counter the Star Lord. In the future, when we encounter such opponents, we should lure them in."
“No, we also need to add the Destruction Sphere. Even with the environment of the Devouring Abyss, they can still escape using Star Shift,” Negris said.
Anthony nodded and said, "Now that we've brought in Big Mouth, we can completely control the Abyss Core. From now on, we can turn the Destruction Ball on and off whenever we want."
"Can we win? They still have three skeletons and one zombie left, plus King Phile, that's five Star Lords. We only have four on our side, and the outside environment isn't restrictive. Can we defeat them?" Negris asked worriedly.
Just thinking about his experience fighting King Phile and the Star Zombie in the void made Anthony's teeth ache. Putting aside whether he could win or not, how long would it take to determine a winner?
Without environmental constraints, battles between Star Lords would be very long, as both sides have extremely high defenses. If an incremental cycle were to form, even a war of attrition would be impossible, as the damage would not be as fast as the recovery.
However, only the King and King Felix completed the incremental cycle; the rest did not, including Germezburg, whose power was also projected, as were Ang and the little zombies, so they did not achieve the incremental cycle.
The little angel is not an incremental entity, and she is the one most easily depleted. However, the God Star is not particularly far from here, so she can go back and bask in the sun on the God Star.
If it were near the planet God, the little angels would actually have a home-field advantage, but unfortunately, the divine light doesn't shine here.
Regardless, in a normal environment like the void, Ang's side would be at a numerical disadvantage, but...
“But we don’t need to win. Let’s go out first and let Big Mouth attack us. As long as Big Mouth comes in, that’s fine,” Anthony said.
Everyone knew what Anthony was up to as soon as they heard it; they'd done this kind of thing—hiring people to act—a lot.
After they agreed on what to do, Ang ran over and put the rest of the giant spider's skeleton and head into the spacetime domain. Then he picked up Anthony and the little angel, one in each hand, and flew into the air.
They quickly left the Dark Criterion Line, and everyone's eyes lit up. The environment of the Devouring Abyss was too harsh. For a being of King Ang's level, its main impact was on its perception ability.
It affects almost all ways of perceiving the outside world—light, vibrations, the extension of thoughts, etc.—restricting or weakening them all. Entering here is like entering a pitch-black night where you can't see your hand in front of your face.
If King Ang was so greatly affected, someone like Anthony would be completely blind, having to rely on touch to see.
Luckily, he hadn't managed to find the location of those star skeletons, otherwise he would have been dead.
Now that they were out of the Dark Boundary, all their senses returned instantly, and everyone felt as if it were dawn. In an instant, they saw a star skeleton in front of them.
The star skeleton also saw them, and soon after, the rest of the skeletons and headless zombies flew in from all directions.
“They’ve surrounded the area, afraid we’ll leave from another direction,” Negris said.
Anthony said, "They probably haven't figured out how we got in yet. They might think we came in from another direction, so they blocked off those other directions as well. But what if we left by airship?"
"Is it possible? The migration airships can't get in, right? Maybe they know there's no other way to leave the Devouring Abyss, so they've surrounded it," Negris said.
“It’s possible. The way we got in has nothing to do with the relocation airships, but this method allows entry but not exit. We just need to stop us when we leave the Dark Criterion,” Anthony said.
While they were chatting, King Ang, the little angel, and the little zombie had already started fighting against the other side's three skeletons, one zombie, and King Phile.
In this environment, the true strength of those star skeletons becomes apparent. They burst forth from the star pullers, guiding their bodies to move rapidly through the void, or they attack while simultaneously having the star pullers provide support, effectively acting as two separate entities.
Ang, the King, and the Little Zombie are no exception; the Star Pull-Up becomes an extension of their bodies, making the battles more varied and faster-paced.
The little angel was at a disadvantage; lacking the gravitational pull of the stars, she had to deal with the double attack from the other side on her own, making her look rather disheveled.
Ang has a problem: his transformation has a time limit, which affects his rhythm. However, once the transformation time is up, he switches from zombie to skeleton, and when the skeleton's transformation time is up, he switches back to zombie. He repeats this cycle to ensure that he also has the combat power of the Lord of the Stars.
Only because Ang's Star Power originates from his own body can he play like this.
The battle gradually settled into a rhythm familiar to both sides when, just then, a muffled buzzing sound suddenly echoed from the distant void.
Everyone on Ang's side had a 'drastic change in expression' and abandoned their opponents, scrambling to the side.
The next moment, a huge black pillar surged from afar—the breath of the abyss.
