Chapter 1499
"Don't, Lord Negris, don't ignite me." The Abyss Big Mouth shouted pitifully.
"Don't pretend." Negris said unhappily: "Igniting the abyss core isn't taking your life. Can't you just change to another core? Ang will make you a new one right now, really. You don't want to occupy the abyss core, do you? This thing is a God Star once ignited."
"I..." Although the Big Mouth wanted to occupy it, it didn't dare to say it out loud.
All along, it hadn't helped much in battle, and the abyss core was also picked up ready-made. It wanted to occupy an abyss core that could be ignited into a God Star without any merit? Dream on.
But letting it give up this core and change to another one made it even more unwilling. Not to mention that its strength would drop directly from near-God Star to just-formed level, just not having anything to eat was enough to make it shrink back.
The entire void was empty, and the area near the God Star was already the area with the richest matter. If it changed to another core, what would there be for it to devour?
This was a very realistic problem. When in the Chaos Plane, although there wasn't much matter, there was Chaos Mist to sustain life. Now here, if there was no matter to devour and no Chaos Mist, the abyss core would continue to shrink and finally dissipate into nothingness.
And devouring was its instinct. Without anything to eat, it would have a continuous feeling of hunger, which was very uncomfortable. Change to a new core, and then endure continuous hunger until it starved to death and dissipated? It didn't want that.
Thinking of this possibility, it seemed that the annihilation of consciousness wasn't unacceptable. Anyway, its consciousness had a backup with Ang. If it was annihilated, just create a new one.
Thinking of this, the Abyss Big Mouth said: "Alright, ignite it. I won't leave. I want to become a God Star. I don't believe that mere ignition can annihilate me. The Lord will protect me!"
"Oh, this dead Big Mouth, Ang, don't mind it, let it die." Negris wanted to go up and tear its mouth.
It didn't do much work, ate a lot, and still wanted Ang's protection? Bah, it lived more comfortably than he, this translator.
However, it was impossible for Ang to ignore it. Even if it failed, its consciousness would be pulled back on the spot and wouldn't explode, which was why it had the confidence to shout things like 'I want to become a God Star'.
Having made up its mind, the Abyss Big Mouth no longer hesitated, concentrating its will on a large plane in the distance.
Following the concentration of its will, the space between it and that plane began to collapse rapidly, forming a 'void' with weak space, connecting it and that plane together.
That plane was originally stationary, but at this moment, it was like falling into quicksand, continuously sliding towards the direction of the Abyss Big Mouth.
This plane had moved here long ago, but the Abyss Big Mouth felt it was about to explode, so it rejected its approach. Now that it had made up its mind, it began to pull those materials that had been rejected outside.
As the two sides established a gravitational bridge, those materials began to slide towards the direction of the Abyss Big Mouth, faster and faster. By the time they reached the vicinity of the Abyss Big Mouth, they had already accelerated into a meteor, smashing towards the abyss core.
The plane smashing over at high speed looked peerlessly imposing, especially since its volume looked even larger than the abyss core. The diameter of the abyss core was only fifteen kilometers, but this plane was thousands of kilometers long and wide, just like a giant rock smashing towards a small bead.
However, just as it entered the gravitational range of the abyss core, the gravitational difference between the far end and the near end tore the plane into pieces, turning it into dozens of plane fragments of different sizes, continuing to smash towards the abyss core.
However, the closer it got, the greater the gravitational difference. It shattered all the way as it approached, and by the time it approached the core, it had already shattered into powder.
During the whole process, their volume changed rapidly, but the density was constantly rising, finally turning into a layer of 'mist', falling onto the abyss core at high speed.
It was by relying on these layers of 'mist' that the abyss core piled up to its current volume. The pressure on the surface was already great enough to press the plane into thin mist, and the internal pressure went without saying; it had reached the critical point of being about to ignite.
As this plane fell onto the abyss core and became part of the core, the pressure of the core increased by another point.
Don't underestimate this insignificant point of pressure. It was like the last scale that crushed the giant dragon. With a 'thump', the Abyss Big Mouth felt its interior burning.
The interior of the current abyss core was like a ball of scorching metal slurry. The hollow small hole that Ang originally dug had long since ceased to exist. The pressure of the core was so great that its own structure couldn't be maintained, finally turning into a ball of slurry.
This wasn't liquid state, but the solid core liquefied under huge pressure. Now greater pressure came, and the most core part was ignited.
The Abyss Big Mouth felt it was about to explode. The core temperature rose crazily, and the violent energy seemed to be breaking through everything, venting out from the most core part of the interior.
But the huge pressure made it unable to vent, so the violent energy was accumulating rapidly, strengthening, and brewing.
Layers of the core were ignited from the inside, and the violent energy accumulated exponentially. They collided with each other, burned with each other, chain reaction, exponential enhancement...
However, this violent energy superimposed layer by layer was also being suppressed layer by layer. The further out, the more obstacles, and the larger the volume, the more it blocked the release of energy.
So the energy accumulated, continued to ignite, and thus the outer layer also became part of the energy, continuing to want to release outwards, layer upon layer.
The whole process was very much like a tug-of-war. The energy wanted to break through the core, and the core wanted to bind the energy. The more it was bound, the more the energy accumulated. The more it accumulated, the more parts were ignited. Repeatedly like this, there would always be a moment when it couldn't be bound.
The Abyss Big Mouth was crazily delaying the speed of the entire chain reaction at this moment. It desperately guided the energy to release towards the center. In this way, the outer layer of the core wouldn't ignite so quickly. As long as the burning speed slowed down, then the explosion wouldn't be too violent when it happened.
If it exploded too violently and a large amount of matter was scattered away, then the entire core wouldn't be able to maintain the existing pressure, the burning wouldn't continue, and the process of becoming a God Star would fail.
Realizing this, the Big Mouth tried its best to slow down, silently chanting in its heart: Slower... slower... slower...
In a trance, the Abyss Big Mouth felt something supporting it from behind. Turning its head, it saw Ang's phantom.
Anthony, Negris, Ulsman, and others who were observing outside were all staring intently, and even the Star Mover was no exception. From devouring abyss to God Star breakthrough, even he hadn't seen it. As long as Ang and the others didn't drive him away, he definitely wouldn't leave.
Under their gaze, the abyss core with a diameter of only fifteen kilometers was expanding rapidly, expanding, and expanding again, expanding all the way to tens of thousands of kilometers, and then to hundreds of thousands of kilometers. They watched with their own eyes as a small ball inflated into a big ball just like inflating.
"It seems to have slowed down." The Star Mover said suddenly.
It did indeed slow down. It only took one day to expand to hundreds of thousands of kilometers, but it took a full month to expand to one million kilometers.
In this month, the abyss core swelled into a giant ball with a diameter of one million kilometers. The surface temperature also rose to several thousand degrees, and the surface was scorching red, vaguely having a trend of about to explode.
Just at this moment, the skin that was already hot to white heat suddenly cracked a fissure, and a huge pillar of fire gushed out, shooting straight into the void tens of millions of kilometers away. If it waited for it to gush out completely, it would definitely scatter out of the gravitational range of the abyss core.
Suddenly, the pillar of fire that was gushing violently slowed down, seemingly exhausted, about to fall towards the direction of the core.
"Gravity trap, it's a gravity trap. Local enhancement of gravity forms a gravity trap inwards from all sides. Amazing." The Star Mover exclaimed subconsciously.
