Chapter 1385

Lock his hands, then chop off his body? That's a great idea, but the problem is: "How can we lock his hands?"

Everyone "looks" toward Ang.

Ang thinks for a moment, then shakes his head; a lock won't hold him.

"What a pity, his arm is just stretched out here, completely undefended; I'm not satisfied without doing something," Nigris says.

"Undefended? His Star Power is the strongest defense, okay? Under this high temperature and high pressure, he is already defending with all his might; how can you call that completely undefended?" Du Luo Ken retorts.

Even if they wanted to do something, they would first need to overcome the environment here.

"Can the sapling lock it? It should be able to, right? Can the World Tree not even lock this one arm?" Nigris asks.

"No, the World Tree is theoretically higher in energy level than the Star Lord, but an arm has no leverage; it's like asking you to pull out a wooden splinter with a dragon claw—you can't apply any force," Wursman says.

Anthony adds: "Besides, the sapling can't even get down into this environment."

That's true; although the sapling is the World Tree, its roots cannot penetrate this deep. Only Kadiz and Ang can come here, and Ang's body was just picked up on the spot.

Just then, that arm moves slightly, slowly tilting toward Ang's direction.

Ang freezes there, and the others sharing Ang's vision also subconsciously hold their breath. After a long while, the arm slowly moves again, turning in another direction.

Ang quietly pulls Kadiz, moving backward to increase the distance from the arm. By the time Ang stops again, they are already very far from the arm.

"What happened?" Kadiz asks, somewhat bewildered.

"The arm moved just now; couldn't you see it?" Nigris asks.

Kadiz replies: "Of course I couldn't see it. This place is ten thousand times more violent than the interior of the Star of the Pale God. But even inside the Star of the Pale God, I don't need to see things; it's very safe there."

"Yeah, it's very safe here too. Who would have thought that in this environment, we would be coveting his arm? The Star is his defense, so he probably wasn't looking at anything just now, and moving wasn't because he discovered us," Anthony says.

Ang nods. He didn't feel any conscious fluctuation either; the arm probably moved for some other reason, but to be safe, Ang still retreated.

"We can't chop him, and we can't lock him. What do we do now?" Nigris asks.

A silence falls. In the silence, everyone slowly begins to feel the pressure brought by the Star Lord. If they can't do anything about just one arm hanging there, what will they do if they meet him head-on?

"How about calling the Old Immortal over? We have to call him anyway; otherwise, let alone this Star Zombie, the Guman Snake alone will burst the Star," Nigris says.

"But if Your Majesty returns, what about the World Tree?" Anthony asks.

When the Monarch returns, he will definitely want to forcibly dismantle the Guman Snake, but the Guman Snake is parasitic on the World Tree, and they have become one. Forcibly dismantling the Guman Snake is equivalent to forcibly dismantling the World Tree.

"But the Guman Snake is already planning to detonate the Star. If the Star explodes, the World Tree won't survive either," Nigris says.

Little Fire Man and Little Tree Man, one of them has to be saved. The original plan was to have the Little Angel chop the tree roots—chopping off half of the roots so the World Tree couldn't supply nutrients, and the parasitic Guman Snake should have detached from the World Tree.

Unexpectedly, the plot didn't go according to plan. Although the Little Angel had almost completed the task, the Guman Snake's choice wasn't to detach from the World Tree, but to detonate the Star. This operation is simply inexplicable; it wouldn't die if it detached from the World Tree, but it is very likely to die if it detonates the Star.

Even if it had extended its branches elsewhere in advance, this main body on the World Tree definitely wouldn't be able to escape.

For plants of the Guman Snake and Strange Tree level, it is very difficult to eliminate them, but it is very easy to weaken them. The Guman Snake's main body grew by parasitizing the World Tree; if it is lost, it is impossible for it to grow this large again unless it finds another World Tree to parasitize.

According to normal logic, the Guman Snake's main body should detach from the World Tree to preserve its strength, yet it chose the most dangerous path of detonating the Star.

This behavior is like someone demolishing a house, and it blowing up a dam to flood the entire city.

Although it is incomprehensible, it has already started doing so, and everyone can only adapt accordingly.

Nigris tells everyone about the area where the Guman Snake is stuffing things, then asks: "That area is already unbalanced, and it's full of molten storms. We can't get in. Can you infer what the Guman Snake is stuffing in there?"

Xisluo says without thinking: "What else could it be stuffing? What is there here that could burst the Star? Of course, it's the World Tree."

Everyone's spirits lift. That makes sense. Given the size of the Star, nothing else could possibly burst it. Even if a main plane were smashed into it, it wouldn't cause such a major change in the Star.

A single leaf of the World Tree is one or two thousand kilometers long; three or five leaves are larger than a main plane. Only the size of the World Tree could cause an imbalance inside the Star.

"Hiss... Using the World Tree to detonate the Star, it might actually succeed. No, hurry and call the Old Immortal back; otherwise, neither the Little Fire Man nor the Little Tree Man will be saved," Nigris says.

Ang nods and begins to contact the Monarch.

Not long after, Ang says: "King, returning."

Taking advantage of the time it takes for the Monarch to return, Ang decides to go to the molten imbalance area first to continue picking up some Non-Mixed Molten. Although he doesn't know what properties Non-Mixed Molten has, the fact that "even the Star cannot crush it" is enough to make it a precious material.

However, not long after picking it up, the Monarch suddenly contacts him indirectly: "I feel this matter might be related to the Star Zombie you encountered. We didn't feel anything in the Silent Sea of Death before, but now I am on my way back, having left the Silent Sea of Death, and I discovered that the entire Silent Sea of Death is moving, slowly moving toward the direction of the Star."

Nigris and the others are stunned after hearing the relayed message: "The Silent Sea of Death is moving? Was it moving all along? Or did it just start moving now? We just came back from there, how did we not feel it?"

"Your Majesty says it's related to the Star Zombie. Could it be that he is pulling it? He stretched out an arm, grabbed the Star, and is dragging the entire Silent Sea of Death over here? This..." After Anthony finishes speaking, everyone is speechless, because this speculation is too outrageous. A Star Zombie using one arm to drag the entire Silent Sea of Death?
