Chapter 1799: NO.414: The Cult's Development of the Star-Eater Is Less Than 5%

NO. 414: The Cult's development of the Star-Eater is less than 5%.

NO. 414 Cult's development of the Star-Eater is less than 5%.

The Beast Cult only has problems with its worldview and stance; its intelligence is fine.

Although the priest couldn't immediately recall the newcomer he had handled, after everyone discussed and ruled out eight possible causes of a network outage from conventional thinking, he still remembered that young man he hadn't expected much from.

After all, by the time they finished checking the problem, the remaining possibilities were all increasingly absurd.

As a temporary subspace base, no subspace storms were detected outside, no equipment damage or line damage inside, and the network itself, having been transformed via the digital world's Hei'an region, should be extremely solid——

——Theoretically it should be the safest place on Earth, an impregnable fortress base, so how could a gap suddenly appear?

At that instant, the base saw countless monsters appear and gather, fully displaying the bearing expected of members of the Beast Cult.

At that instant, the base was filled with countless monsters appearing and gathering, fully displaying the bearing befitting members of the orthodox Beast Sect.

In short, just cowardly!

At the moment they sensed the network loss, everyone felt they were under attack, and the attack seemed overwhelming, so each feared they'd be mowed down by firepower inside the base the next second.

But they couldn't be so cowardly as to only care about their own survival while ignoring others' safety; after all, they had gotten this far and somewhat believed that unity is better than going it alone.

Thus, as the shield expanded layer upon layer, with massive bodies jointly building walls, the few Cult members of the Development Department who still retained their original forms rushed about, being told they must restore the network and perform a critical manual system reboot, not leaving it entirely to the mechanical beast-type Cult members——

Thus, as the shield expanded layer upon layer, and even more massive bodies jointly built fortifications, the few sect members of the development department who still retained their original forms rushed about, being told they must restore the network, must carry out the crucial reboot of the artificial system, and could not entirely leave it to those sect members in mechanical monster form——

The network never improved, which could be said to be due to the enemy's fierce offensive and superb technique, yet the brothers guarding the entrance kept reporting no movement, and this side, despite being highly alert, still hadn't seen the expected barrage…… Is this… this right?

The network not improving can still be said to be due to the enemy's fierce offensive and superb technique, yet the brothers guarding the entrance kept reporting no movement; this side, despite being highly vigilant, still hadn't seen much of the expected barrage…… Is this… this correct?

Exactly three minutes!

Still no attack!

These cops are really calm, but we won't lose either!

Your Highness Priest, give the order!!

Whether to feint attack, hold defensive and wait for opportunity, or bring everyone's container data to flee, all of us here are experienced enough to execute any command instantly, giving no chance to those soulless enemies!

Whether to feign an attack or to hold back and wait for an opportunity, or perhaps to lead everyone's container data in an escape, those present are all quite experienced; any kind of command can be carried out immediately, giving no chance to those soulless enemies!

However, this psychological tug-of-war continued just like that.

It lasted until they had entered the fourth minute.

The stationed priests constantly being called by the Cult members had, in their own communications, largely reached the consensus that they were fighting wits and courage against thin air.

The priests stationed there, who were constantly being called upon by the sect members, had, to varying degrees, reached a consensus in their respective communications that 'they were matching wits and courage against empty air.'

The caution almost ingrained in their souls made them watch each other and reach a stalemate, unable to issue an order to relax responsibility a bit and lift the alert.

Meanwhile, the inspection reports they saw still showed: no equipment faults, no software errors, normal signal reception, the network outage had improved and entered a state of frequent interruptions.

To make matters worse, recurring network bands appeared, pushing the network fault analysis into a realm completely unrelated to the network:

Nowadays, moreover, recurring network bands have appeared, causing the perspective on network fault troubleshooting to enter a realm completely unrelated to the network:

No, it should be said that it also involves space.

Time is a man-made concept, defining all stages of material motion; physically it cannot be paused or reversed, yet some concepts in this world can indeed reverse large-scale material motion.

It can come from a macroscopic dimension top-down, or from an astonishing mass triggering a change in cosmic law.

Therefore, at present, a technician has already proposed a spacetime disturbance view, because he once experienced danger in an accretion disk.

This refers to a black hole, not a neutron star or white dwarf.

Only an extreme black hole within a compact body can, with its super‑gravitational mass‑clump nature, generate extraordinarily strong gravity.

Only within a dense celestial body that can also be considered an extreme black hole can the super‑gravitational mass‑cluster nature stir up an astonishingly abnormal gravity.

It can cause all material motion around it to lose continuity, producing anomalies such as "electronic devices receiving communications from a ship crushed to powder 30 seconds ago" or "people who show no life response on radar still being alive."

The former exactly explains why we now see not only high‑frequency network interruptions but also repeated network bands appearing over and over, making some instruments spew out duplicate data like a supernatural scene—but!

The former precisely explains why, at present, not only does the network show high‑frequency interruptions, but also repeated network bands keep appearing, causing some charting instruments to continuously spew out duplicated content, a scene akin to a supernatural phenomenon—but!

The mass of a black hole capable of causing that phenomenon could never be those fake "black hole" moves that are merely named after it but don't deserve the comparison.

It ought to be a super‑gravitational mass exceeding most observable black holes today, and such a mass existing would by itself destroy this temporary base.

It ought to even be a super‑gravitational mass object surpassing the scale of most observable black holes today, and such a mass object, merely by existing, could cause this temporary base to be overturned.

Everything would be pulled apart, torn, and ground to powder by the gradually expanding gravity, and now it is 4 minutes, 21.13 seconds.

Everything will be pulled apart, torn, and then ground to powder under the gradually expanding gravity; and now it is already 4 minutes, 21 seconds, 13.

Could it be that we're all frozen in a still‑safe moment, actually already a fantasy before being ground to dust by a black hole?

No one wants to believe there's a black hole in the base affecting the subspace gravity; they'd rather think some hidden natural law of this subspace itself was triggered, even though the reason the base is stationed here is that this space, though within subspace, happens to be unusually stable, with gravity, matter, and air quality approaching those of the main world.

But under these abnormal circumstances, these well‑traveled priests would rather believe the trouble comes from the "unknown part" phenomenon that is common in subspace exploration.

Except for the priest who manages the Development Department and performed the anointing surgery on a certain newcomer.

He recalled the High Priest's targeting of that newcomer, remembered that in the High Priest's words the newcomer was essentially doomed to live only a few days, and realized that the only thing that could cause that situation was the Star‑Eater Ghidorah information fragment he had implanted.

As the "doctor" who performed that information‑fragment implantation surgery, he naturally knew the equipment and "medicine" he used.

He naturally knew the terrifying beast's biggest feature is the "extradimensional realm."

Likewise originating from other dimensions and universes, the Star‑Eater Ghidorah is praised as the "Void King of nonexistence in this world" and the "Golden End," possessing a special summoning ritual that requires "offering," "faith," and "chant" to be fulfilled, making it a deity of the extradimensional realm. Even if He arrived in this world, He need not follow its cosmic laws; instead He can easily warp the physics around Him, effectively bringing His own domain here and using it to some extent.

Likewise originating from other dimensions and universes, the Star‑Eater Ghidorah is praised as the 'King of the Void that does not exist in this world' and the 'Golden End,' and also has a special summoning ritual requiring the simultaneous fulfillment of 'offering,' 'faith,' and 'incantation' to achieve invocation, making it a deity of another realm. Such a being, even upon arriving in the present world, need not follow the cosmic laws here; on the contrary, it can easily warp the physical laws around itself, equivalent to bringing the domain of the world it inhabits here and utilizing it to a certain extent.

He thought this while running toward that room.

Although many in the Cult have monster powers that allow instant teleportation, regrettably he does not.

However, as the saying goes, if you can't teleport you can learn a double jump; this priest also has other means to boost his speed, so his running pace is extraordinary, letting many Cult members who haven't yet turned into monster bodies barely react as he dashes past.

If it were him, that would be great… holding the thought "I must reach a conclusion, but preferably a controllable one," he stood before the door gap that wasn't fully sealed and flung it open.

If it were him, that would be great… Holding the thought that 'there must be a conclusion, but it would be best if it were controllable,' he stood before the crack in the door that was not truly shut tight, and yanked it open.

Devouring Star Zero!

?

Under the doubtful gaze of the horned young man, he unconsciously glanced at his visible terminal screen.

In the detection window there, there was no abnormal life peak that could be called monster-standard.

But the noisy messages from his colleagues didn't stop, as if the abnormal phenomenon hadn't ceased, and moreover there was a new situation.

Assembled! The network isn't stable yet, but there's new news at the Wall of Sighs: the Light Beast Fallen Form is coming, everyone hurry to greet it!】
