Chapter 2116

Hummm—」

Over the boundless silver-white earth, thirteen yellow metal spheres continuously rotated, guarding the central dark-red sphere.

The low-pitched, high-frequency buzzing sound, like a neutron star pulse, swept across the surrounding space at high speed.

In the high-speed rotation of the thirteen yellow metal spheres, the powerful gravitational effect, like a black hole, pulverized the ground directly below into a spiral pit tens of kilometers deep.

Massive clumps of matter, at speeds exceeding millions of tons per second, were sucked into the core under strong gravity.

Strong current particles violently collided in the magnetic field, bursting forth dazzling magnetic light.

From afar, the stellar chain structure formed by fourteen metal spheres resembled a nascent star cluster, frenziedly devouring everything around it and expanding without limit!

At the same time, 75 kilometers northwest of the Eternal Summit.

Two groups of differing appearance, about sixty War Star Level individuals stared solemnly at the sky-filling aurora.

Behind them were over four hundred fully armed Fourth Stage Peak War Slaves.

Standing on the foremost boulder, a youth with long hair like black metal couldn't help but exclaim:

"These guys who call themselves star gods are truly perverse."

"How much matter have they swallowed? From entering the battlefield to now, it's at least several hundred billion tons!!"

"Damn, with such high mass, just the pressure could crush a person!"

The speaking youth was named Yikslete, a War Star Peak of the Poison Abyss Star System. Even though their goal this time was to assassinate this batch of star gods, feeling the power of these monsters up close, he couldn't help but marvel, and even a thought of retreat arose in his mind.

Sensing the youth's fear in his words, another half-snake War Star, his whole body shining with light, slightly shook his head and chuckled:

"Leite, although the star gods are strong, their combat power isn't calculated this way."

"Look at their current color; if it's brown or silver-gray, that means their transformed power is that of an ordinary War Star, corresponding celestial bodies being meteors and asteroids."

"Yellow to dark gold indicates War Star Peak, corresponding to mature planets; starting from red, it becomes the most dangerous."

Squinting slightly, the Serpent God Iton extended his long tongue, sensing the particle flow in the air.

"At most, these star gods are only in the early stage of stellar evolution; they're still far from maturity."

Leite tilted his head, stunned for a moment, then quickly understood the meaning of the Serpent God Iton.

"You mean they're roughly equivalent to thirteen War Star Peaks plus a captain nearing Star-Destroying Level?"

"Yes."

Iton nodded, retracting his tongue.

"This unit is likely a detachment of the star god civilization; their main force wouldn't be this close to the Eternal Summit. After all, everyone knows that once you let these guys strengthen without limit, no one can match them."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the star gods' main force should be hidden somewhere, not emerging until they truly reach Star-Destroying Level."

"Besides, no matter how strong they are, it's a headache for those advanced civilizations, not our concern. Following the task given by those insects, we just need to take care of this batch."

"A true Star-Destroying Level?! Insects?"

"Wait, the ones who gave us the task were supposed to be the Star Summoners—how come it's the insect clan now!!"

Hearing Iton's information, Swift Shadow Leite was instantly startled.

Although he was the strongest of the two teams, with his score nearing 150 points, his civilization behind him was extremely ordinary, so this time the commander was actually the Serpent God Iton; thus, from accepting the mission until now, he had thought he was cooperating with the Star Summoners.

Especially hearing that the star gods' main force could grow into Star-Destroying Level, this exceeded his cognition!

Ignoring Swift Shadow's startled reaction, the Serpent God Iton smiled, knowing that the civilization behind him was unwilling to even spend on external communications.

"Leite, there's nothing surprising about it."

"The Void Insect Clan has already joined forces with the Star Summoners. Those insects can't gnaw at the star gods, and the star gods greatly restrain the Star Summoners; with a little thought, it's clear they'll both move against the star gods in advance."

"Of course, many more teams are preparing to act against the star gods; this time the competing teams are much stronger than before, and Star-Destroying Level is nothing special."

After a simple explanation, Iton couldn't be bothered to say more.

In an instant, he drew two daggers condensed from rule power from behind him, and the next second he split into a double doppelgänger:

"Get ready for battle!"

"Old rules! I'll restrain your attack, letting the war slaves absorb the first barrage to test the rules!"

"Our mission is simple: just disrupt their strengthening!"

Swift and decisive.

As an outstanding War Star, Iton, after speaking, led the half-snake clan behind him in a charge.

A distance of over seventy kilometers is nothing for a Fifth Stage; at full sprint, battle will erupt within ten seconds at most.

Seeing Iton directly choose to act, Swift Shadow had no time to think further and hastily followed.

Although he really didn't want to provoke the star gods, as a shackle of a minor civilization, he could only follow the wishes of those advanced civilizations; only thus could he hope to earn some points and break into the top ten thousand.

(Hopefully fewer people die... If things go smoothly, maybe we can linger a bit longer in the second layer with the help of the Star Summoners...)

After a sigh, the youth suddenly accelerated, like a dagger stabbing straight into the star core.

"Whoosh—bang!!"

With everyone breaking the sound barrier, the entire team surged forward like a vast meteor shower.

Various rule lights intertwined in the warped air, forming a sheet led by two War Star Peaks, like two enormous serpent heads seeking to devour the star!

At the same time, the star gods hovering in midair seemed unresponsive, continuing to greedily devour matter.

Soon, within just a few seconds, Swift Shadow at the forefront had already adjusted his state to peak.

His rule accumulates kinetic energy during movement and releases it all upon attack.

Thus, seeing the star gods unprepared, Leite's eyes flashed with a hint of glee; after a furious shout, his speed surged again, intending to interrupt the absorption with a single strike.

Although the acceleration distance was still short of his limit, he was confident that this strike could pierce through even a planet straight to the star core!

However, before the youth could rejoice too long, the next second an astonishing gravitational field enveloped him.

As if placed on the surface of a neutron star, the 360-degree, all-around gravitational effect suddenly yanked him down violently, even tearing his legs apart in the process!

"What the—!!"

"Damn it!!! This is a trap!!!"

Shocked to the point of despair!

How quick their reaction is.

Watching as the speed rule he relied on for survival was targeted, Lai Te felt his liver and gall bladder about to burst, and in an instant he realized that this group of star gods were by no means defenseless—they had long known their plan!

This gravitational field was buried right on their necessary path, and the opponent had precisely calculated the time he would act!

Who betrayed him!? Who!?

Lai Te instinctively turned his head and glared at Yi Dun, but what he didn't expect was that the one most likely to have designed this against him, Yi Dun, also turned pale at that moment, obviously not having anticipated a trap either!

"Not me!!! Damn it damn it damn it!!!"

"Lai Te! Run! We've all been betrayed!!!"

He roared loudly; although they had fallen into the gravitational field, it was not considered a lethal threat to their team.

But as War Star Individuals capable of entering the Star Radiance War, both he and Lai Te had fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood! They knew all too well that, in a Fifth Stage battle, falling into a trap meant the opponent would surely have an endless stream of killing moves waiting for them!

He simply couldn't fathom how they could have been betrayed! After all, to those top-tier teams, they posed no threat at all!

However, no matter how puzzled the two teams were, how quick their reaction was.

Just as Yi Dun had judged, in an instant, the fourteen star gods only ten li away suddenly stopped spinning.

The next second, the red star god that had been absorbing matter shed its surface disguise.

In the astonished gaze of hundreds of Awakened Ones, it transformed into a black spherical warship!

That was..!

"Annihilation Star Ship! Mechanical War Star!"
