Chapter 1481
Judging by the impact silhouettes, not one of these people has a 'physique' advantage; they are clearly not on the same level as the Guman Snake, yet they were actually able to beat it into fleeing, which is truly strange.
The Guman Snake said: "Don't you underestimate them; their strength is extremely formidable, and they possess many special abilities."
The Dark Star main body said dismissively: "Any special ability relies on an energy tier. Your energy level is so much higher than theirs that no special ability will have any effect on you."
The Dark Star's words revealed one of the most fundamental laws of the Void—energy level; the range of energy one can utilize is called an energy level.
For instance, within a plane, whether it is a demon or a holy spirit, a Truth Mage or a God-Saint, they all exist at one energy level. Once in the Void, a Truth Mage and an Ancient God no longer belong to the same energy level; the Truth Mage cannot even inflict damage upon the Ancient God.
After arriving at the Divine Light Alliance, everyone discovered that the creatures here are born with the power of origin; even an ordinary swordsman can inflict damage on a Lord of Mourning. However, when encountering Starborn, there is a gap in energy levels between them.
However, there is no energy level gap between Starborn and Lords of Stars; it is just that a Lord of Stars is an Incremental Body, and the increment allows their power to be inexhaustible.
Nevertheless, the Incremental Body only has a more advanced form of energy, but relative to the World Tree of Ten Thousand Worlds, the energy level is like the difference between a lake and the ocean. No matter how advanced the water in the lake is, its total volume is not even a ten-thousandth of the ocean's; even if it were all poured in, it would be unable to dilute the ocean, making it utterly meaningless.
Therefore, if the energy level gap is too large, attacks cannot take effect.
The Guman Snake smiled bitterly: "No, they took effect. I don't know why either, but they hurt me a lot when they hit me. If I didn't run, I would have died."
"Took effect? Impossible, unless they possess the same energy level as you," the Dark Star main body said with certainty.
"They possess an aging Divine Star, with a volume only a few dozen times smaller than yours. However, that Divine Star has remained in the Boundless Great Void and has not approached," the Guman Snake said.
"A few dozen times smaller? And it didn't approach? That's still impossible. A decaying Divine Star that small, using long-range power projection to inflict damage on you? There must be another reason," the Dark Star main body said.
As he said this, a humanoid phantom slowly emerged from the hard shell of the Dark Star main body. He stood on the shell next to the Guman Snake, and energy from below continuously converged toward him, causing his form to expand constantly.
Divine Star main bodies generally do not engage in direct combat unless they encounter enemies of the same energy level, because the consumption required for them to move is too great. Facing low-energy-level enemies, standing there and taking the opponent's attacks head-on consumes less than moving to attack others.
Therefore, Divine Stars all have their own combat avatars. Gamezburg is in the form of a giant spider, the Azure Divine Star is humanoid, and this Dark Star is clearly humanoid as well.
This is actually quite normal; Divine Stars do not have much combat experience. Most of their experience stems from those vassal life races. The higher the level of civilization of a life race, the richer their combat experience. These experiences and knowledge return to the embrace of the Divine Star after the life form dies.
That is why Starborn look so much like creatures in the planes; they are conceived from fragments of consciousness.
The Dark Star main body continuously infused power into the humanoid avatar, quickly swelling the avatar into a giant.
Just at this moment, thump-thump... thump-thump... thump-thump...
A fluctuation akin to a heartbeat came from afar, sweeping over the humanoid avatar and the Dark Star main body.
All the cracks in the Dark Star main body simultaneously stirred up jets of hot mist, spraying out from the hard shell like a humidifier.
The humanoid avatar had it even worse; with every beat, it was as if the humanoid avatar had been scraped by a blade, and a thin layer of 'skin' was shaved off.
The Dark Star was greatly alarmed: "Increment! My increment is decaying. What is happening?"
"It's that fluctuation. What kind of fluctuation is that?" The Guman Snake pointed in the direction from which the fluctuation came.
In truth, the Dark Star also sensed the fluctuation, but he was unwilling to believe that his increment decay was caused by this fluctuation; that would be too inconceivable.
What is increment? Increment is the ultimate power of the entire Void. Without increment, the entire Void would be destroyed; it is the foundation that maintains the stability of the entire Void.
Now, this foundation is collapsing because of a fluctuation that is not particularly intense? He wouldn't even dare to believe it if someone else told him.
But he had to believe it; the fluctuation came from ahead, rhythmically impacting the Dark Star's main body and avatar.
Because the main body had the protection of the hard shell, only a little hot mist sprayed from the cracks, but his avatar was miserable. Every impact was like shaving off a layer of his skin; countless increments decayed on his body, then dissipated and vanished layer by layer, turning into nothingness.
"Who exactly is it?" The distance between the two sides was still relatively far, and the Dark Star could not see clearly, so the avatar lunged forward with force.
His avatar pulled out a straight beam of light, coming to an abrupt stop in front of Ang and the others. By the time he stopped, the beam of light behind him quickly shortened.
"Hiss... such fast speed," Negris whispered in shock.
"Indeed, his speed is faster than our thoughts, which is why this delay effect is created. If we start fighting in a moment, our thoughts might not be able to keep up with him," Anthony said.
"Doesn't that mean we won't even be able to see clearly? We won't be able to help once the fight starts," Negris said.
Anthony had black lines all over his forehead: "You couldn't help when fights started before, either, okay?"
Just as they were whispering, the fight had already begun. The moment the Dark Star avatar appeared, before he could see anything clearly, he was blasted by a beam of Starflame Holy Light from the little angel.
After the holy light beam vanished, the Dark Star avatar was wreathed in wisps of blue smoke, and then, lasting less than half a second, he was dispersed by the 'thump-thump...' fluctuation.
At this distance, the Dark Star avatar finally saw clearly what was emitting the fluctuation. Seeing his attention focused on the phantom of the light sphere behind Ang, he shouted in disbelief: "Star's Lament? How is that possible? Star's Lament does not have the ability to cause increment decay."
Anthony's heart stirred, and he immediately reminded everyone in the soul network: "He knows Star's Lament. He is not from the Boundless Cage; he came from the outside world."
"Are you sure? Could it be that someone else told him this is Star's Lament?" Negris said.
"Impossible. If he hadn't experienced it personally, he would only think this is a quick-death halo that can cause increment decay. But he recognized Star's Lament; he must have witnessed it before," Anthony said.
After thinking for a moment, Anthony patted his chest—My Lord Descends—and then asked loudly: "Divine Star from afar, who are you? Do you have a name?"
The Dark Star swept a glance at Anthony, then looked at the phantom of the light sphere behind Ang, and suddenly replied: "Someone once gave me a name; they called me the Star Migrator."
