Chapter 1480: You were beaten away by these guys?
Ang had no reaction, but the Monarch straightened his body and said indifferently, "I let it run away last time. This time, I'll give it a mark first. Ang, let the Little Tree give me some spores. I'll sprinkle them on it later."
Ang nodded and tapped the Little Tree on his head.
The Little Tree extended its branches and wrapped two rings around the Monarch's wrists, one on each hand.
Everyone wouldn't blame you for running away last time, but since you ran away and brought people back, there's no way we'll let you run again this time.
Gu Manshe didn't know it had been put on the Monarch's "kill first" list. At this moment, it was repeatedly letting its roots pierce through space, extending into the surrounding void. This was a method the World Tree used to probe the surroundings, which Gu Manshe had learned.
Soon, the roots sent back feedback. Gu Manshe said, "There was a space passage nearby, formed not long ago. Be careful."
The Dark Star couldn't be bothered to pay attention to it. What was there to be careful about regarding creatures that needed space passages to move?
Seeing the Dark Star ignore it, Gu Manshe realized something and muttered to itself in a low voice, not speaking again. Although it had detected that the space passage was quite large and didn't look like an ordinary one, given the Dark Star's attitude, it didn't bother to warn it further.
Just then, a huge energy spear pierced over from the pitch-black void in the distance, stabbing into the hard shell like lightning.
Boom! With a violent explosion, a small hole was blown into the hard shell on the Dark Star's surface.
It was indeed a small hole, relative to the Dark Star's massive size. Its body was dozens of times larger than the Azure God Star, and it wasn't in a senile state. Instead, because of the hard shell, it was like a scorching God Star bound by its own heat, ready to erupt at any moment.
The small hole that was blown open immediately became a vent, and a huge pillar of fire surged out, then fell back in an arc.
The pillar of fire landed on the hard shell but didn't burn anything, because the shell's temperature was just as scorching as the fire. It just rolled a few times and seeped back into the cracks of the shell.
One energy spear had only blown out a small hole; there were no other changes.
Then, the next moment, more energy spears kept stabbing over one after another.
The Dark Star probed in the direction the energy spears were fired from, extending its will very, very far, but it still couldn't see the position where the energy spears were launched. These spears were being fired from outside its field of vision.
"How is that possible?" The Dark Star was puzzled. It was a God Star; if its vision couldn't see the enemy, why could the enemy see it? Was it just a blind guess?
The Dark Star let those energy spears hit its hard shell. While enduring them, its main body shifted to the side.
The Dark Star's main body was dozens of times larger than the Azure God Star's. Every movement was a huge consumption, greater than the consumption of taking dozens of such energy spears.
However, it still turned, leaving the trajectory of the energy spears.
The next seven or eight energy spears followed the original trajectory, sliding past its side without hitting it.
But starting from the ninth one, the energy spears began to deviate from their trajectory, veering toward the direction it had shifted. Although they still flew past its body, they were closer than the previous ones.
Then the tenth one deviated even more severely, catching up to the extent of its shift, and the energy spear landed on its body again.
Boom! Another piece of the hard shell was blown into a hole.
"It really can see me. How is that possible? Why is its vision range longer than mine? If its vision range is longer than mine, why use such low-level energy attacks?" The Dark Star was bewildered.
In the void, the range of vision often represents the distance one's will can extend, because everyone no longer relies on their eyes to observe the outside world; they rely on their will and soul. A larger vision range often means a stronger consciousness and a more vigorous soul.
The current situation was like a powerful consciousness using a small water gun to shoot at it. Was this a game?
Unfortunately, it guessed wrong. The one using the small water gun to shoot at it wasn't that powerful consciousness, but the Little Angel. The Little Angel condensed an energy spear, shared Ang's vision to observe the spatial depressions, and then threw the energy spear toward those positions.
Spatial depressions represent that there is an object with large mass in that direction. Just throwing it in that direction is enough.
Of course, the Little Angel wasn't trying to attack the enemy; she was just a child with a water gun, shooting at whoever she saw.
The Dark Star stopped dodging, because dodging consumed more energy than enduring these energy spears. But being shot at like this made it very unhappy. From one of the holes broken in the hard shell, a pillar of fire shot into the sky, flying toward the direction the energy spears were fired from.
It was just a casual pillar of fire, yet it was already over twenty meters in diameter. As it flew, the front end kept expanding while the back end kept stretching and shrinking, slowly pulling into a meteor shape that was thick at the front and thin at the back.
Wherever the meteor pillar of fire passed, it collided with and destroyed all the incoming energy spears, flying all the way to the Little Angel.
Ang tilted his head, and the Monarch took a step forward, but faster than them was the Little Angel. The Little Angel opened her eyes wide in surprise and pushed forward with both hands—Star Flame Star Light · Shining.
The thick beam of light slammed into the huge meteor, exploding into a dazzling energy spark, with a violent shockwave sweeping across the field.
And the Little Angel spread her big wings excitedly, pouncing toward the sparks, just like a moth to a flame.
Of course, the exploding energy sparks couldn't burn the moth like a bonfire; instead, they were swept up by the Little Angel and absorbed into her body.
Smacking her lips a few times, the Little Angel grabbed with one hand, condensed a ball of star flame in her palm, and handed it to Ang.
"This is the opponent's star flame? You tricked the star flame out of him just like that? Were you doing it on purpose?" Negris leaned over, looking at the star flame in disbelief.
Ang had just said he didn't know the opponent and didn't know how to deal with him. Good grief, now he knew.
Anthony couldn't help but laugh and cry. He didn't think the Little Angel did it on purpose. He guessed it was just that while she was shooting, she happened to anger the opponent, who then gave her a shot in return.
At the same time, the scene of the meteor explosion was also presented in the Dark Star's perception. The Little Angel pushing out the beam of light with both hands, and the circle of creatures of all sizes standing behind her, were all presented as silhouettes in the Dark Star's consciousness.
"Who are they?" The Dark Star displayed these impact silhouettes in front of Gu Manshe and asked.
"This is the Star Flame Giant, this is Ang, this is the Star Skeleton, this is that Anthony who calls himself the Spokesperson of the Origin. You don't need to worry about the others." Gu Manshe could be considered to have a deep impression of Ang and his group; it was able to distinguish Ang and the others just by these impact silhouettes.
"So, you were beaten away by these guys? And you even gave up the World Tree?" The Dark Star's tone was full of incomprehension and confusion.
