Chapter 2036: Chapter 1597: Broadcasting Your Deception in the Void
Ange’s current action is equivalent to dismemberment, peeling away the Star Flame of the Sixth Divine Star bit by bit, using the Gravity String to shoot it out, and reassembling it at the destination.
The Sixth Divine Star can understand Ange’s action, but cannot accept it.
Understanding, because he had long been prepared for this, after all, entering the Gate of No Boundary also requires disassembling oneself into Incremental Fog and reigniting it on the other side.
But he cannot accept it because if Ange continues peeling like this, when his mass drops below the equilibrium line, the whole body will explode.
He hasn’t even seen the Gate of No Boundary yet, and he’s going to blow up an avatar like this? And it’s an avatar constructed entirely of increments that can serve as the main body.
If determined to enter the Gate of No Boundary, this avatar of his will directly transform into the main body, and the original main body will be abandoned because the Gate of No Boundary will sever all soul and consciousness connections.
However, he hasn’t seen the Gate of No Boundary yet and does not want to explode the avatar before that.
But there was no escaping it; Ange gave a strong pull, and the Gravity Midpoint immediately shifted, quickly moving to the Sixth Divine Star.
The Sixth Divine Star’s heart tightened as his worst fear became a reality.
The Gravity Midpoint is the gravitational balance point between two Devouring Abysses, but the balance point is for them; if there is something on the balance point, it becomes a point of contention for that thing.
Two ropes are pulling against each other, and if a finger is suddenly placed on the pulling point, what would happen to that finger?
The Sixth Divine Star thought he would become that finger and be crushed in the tug of war between the Devouring Abysses; however, the next moment, he sensed something was amiss. Although the Gravity Midpoint had shifted to him, it didn’t seem to be in a tug of war.
The Sixth Divine Star, an aged yet experienced Divine Star, immediately realized the reason: "A third force has joined in, is it him? Is the Ghost Guide’s power really this great?"
The Sixth Divine Star looked at Ange in shock.
The Devouring Abyss is an extremely radical entity in the Void; its mass is no smaller than a Divine Star, yet it emits no light or heat, investing all its power into the attribute of ’devour.’
So, in terms of the Power of Devour, its strength is extremely radical, even greater than a Divine Star.
Yet Ange has become a third force, manipulating the Gravity Midpoint, isn’t that equivalent to contending with two Devouring Abysses?
The Sixth Divine Star’s understanding of Ange is as a Ghost Guide, not the true body of an Exotic Ghost; does the Ghost Guide’s power really extend this far?
With a head full of questions, the Sixth Divine Star instead calmed down, allowing Ange to fragment him into pieces.
Originally, his task was to verify the Gate of No Boundary; after all, it would be torn to shreds anyway, dismembered once or twice makes no difference as long as it doesn’t explode before seeing anything.
His form continued to shrink, soon his mass dropped below the equilibrium line, but the Sixth Divine Star did not explode. Because as it was about to drop below the equilibrium line, he began to feel the Gravity Midpoint’s force acting on him.
If the forces of two Devouring Abysses acted entirely on him, that would be a tug of war; if only a small force acted on him, just enough to fill the mass balance, that wouldn’t be a tug of war, but protection.
Now, the force of the Gravity Midpoint is protecting him, slowly increasing to fill the missing portion of the mass balance, reducing mass by one unit, increasing gravity by one unit, just as if someone is weighing these two forces on a scale, adjusting with precision.
Ultimately, the Sixth Divine Star shrank to only one-sixtieth of its original size, a mass reaching the limit of a single shot by a Gravity String.
Ange gave a phantom pat on the Sixth Divine Star, imprinting a mark on him, and before the Sixth Divine Star could see the imprint clearly, Ange had already pulled the Gravity String, and in a flash, shot the Sixth Divine Star out.
The Sixth Divine Star only felt a darkness before him, then collided with ’himself,’ a description difficult for most to understand, how could one collide with ’oneself’?
But for individuals whose consciousness and body can separate and exist independently, it’s easy to understand; for example, if your consciousness runs faster than your body and when you uncontrollably return to the body, it would feel a bit like colliding with yourself.
The Sixth Divine Star indeed collided with himself; the Star Flame shot by Ange earlier had already congealed into a patch of scattered Star Flame here, until the Sixth Divine Star ran into it.
It was like falling into a blob of gel; the next moment, all the gel gathered with the Sixth Divine Star as the center, quickly solidifying into a Divine Star.
The blazing Star Flame burned brightly, quickly illuminating the surrounding black fog but was entirely blocked by the black fog, unable to reach further places.
The Sixth Divine Star found himself shot into a massive Incremental Fog, the dense Incremental Fog blocked his perception.
"Where is this?" the Sixth Divine Star’s heart sank; he originally wanted to confirm the position of the Gate of No Boundary with the last chance, but the opposite party had already guarded against this move by obscuring all location information with Incremental Fog.
Now, he could only determine a general direction through the perception of projections, but couldn’t determine the distance; hoping to find a gate in the void with such vague information was harder than having him kill a Time-Space Ancient Dragon.
"The Gate of No Boundary, over there." Anthony drifted out from the Incremental Fog, but did not answer the Sixth Divine Star’s words, instead pointing to the distant Gate of No Boundary.
The Sixth Divine Star took a deep look at Anthony, noticing that this Anthony looked exactly the same as the one at the Gravity Midpoint.
Could it be he has two identical bodies? Or has a method of rapid movement? The Sixth Divine Star murmured inwardly, drifting toward the Gate of No Boundary.
Anthony opened the Gate of No Boundary, grabbed a wisp of black fog, and tossed it into the gate. The black fog went through unimpeded, and Anthony immediately closed the gate again.
"Hey—" The Sixth Divine Star unconsciously called out, he hadn’t seen how the black fog got inside, and it was already closed.
Anthony said leisurely: "You have already seen, it is well connected, you can personally verify where it leads, but you must know, once you enter, you will need to pledge your soul to the Lord, do you agree?"
"You promised, once I enter, I can come out once to report the situation to my companions, we’ve agreed, if I cannot contact them within the agreed time, I have been deceived by you, they will broadcast your deceit in the void," the Sixth Divine Star said.
Anthony nodded: "Correct, I have made a contract by the Lord of my Lord, you don’t need to worry about me breaking it, please."
Anthony stepped aside from the space before the Gate of No Boundary.
Looking at the Gate of No Boundary, the Sixth Divine Star hesitated for a moment, going through it means he has to abandon his main body.
However, thinking about how he has already declined and there’s nothing worth clinging to in the main body, he decisively cut off the connection with the main body, and his consciousness fully merged into this Dark Star Avatar at the moment.
From this moment on, he was no longer the aging Divine Star but merely an insignificant Dark Star.
The Sixth Divine Star opened the Gate of No Boundary and went in without hesitation.
