Chapter 1563
Ang's current actions are equivalent to dismemberment, plucking God Star No. 6's Star Flame bit by bit, shooting it out with gravity strings, and reassembling it at the destination.
God Star No. 6 can understand Ang's actions, but he cannot accept them.
He understands because he was prepared long ago. After all, entering the Gate of No Boundary also requires breaking oneself apart into Mist of Increment and re-igniting it on the other side.
But he cannot accept it because if Ang keeps plucking like this, when his mass falls below the equilibrium line, his entire body will explode.
He hasn't even seen the Gate of No Boundary yet, and he's going to explode a clone like this? And it's a clone that can be used as an original body, entirely constructed of increments.
If it is determined that he must enter the Gate of No Boundary, this clone of his will directly convert into his original body, and the original body will be discarded, because the Gate of No Boundary will interrupt all soul and consciousness connections.
But now he hasn't seen the Gate of No Boundary yet, and he doesn't want to explode the clone before that.
However, he couldn't run anymore. Ang pulled hard, and the gravity midpoint shifted immediately, moving rapidly onto God Star No. 6.
God Star No. 6's heart tightened; the thing he feared most had happened.
The gravity midpoint is the gravity equilibrium point of the two Devouring Abysses, but the equilibrium point is relative to them. If there is something at the equilibrium point, to that thing, this is the tug-of-war point of both sides.
Two ropes are in a tug-of-war. If you suddenly stick a finger into the tug-of-war point, what will be the consequence for that finger?
God Star No. 6 thought he would become that finger, being crushed in the tug-of-war of the Devouring Abysses. However, the next moment, he felt something was wrong. Although the gravity midpoint moved onto him, it didn't seem to be in a tug-of-war.
God Star No. 6 is an aging but knowledgeable God Star. He immediately realized the reason: "A third force has participated. Is it him? Is the power of the Ghost Guides this great?"
God Star No. 6 looked at Ang in shock.
Devouring Abysses are very extreme individuals in the void. Their mass is not smaller than that of God Stars, but they do not emit light or heat, putting all their power into the attribute of 'devouring'.
So just in terms of devouring power, their power is very extreme, even greater than that of God Stars.
But Ang actually became the third force, controlling the gravity midpoint. Doesn't this mean he is currently contending with two Devouring Abysses?
God Star No. 6's understanding of Ang is that he is a Ghost Guide, not the original body of an Exotic Ghost. Is the power of a Ghost Guide this great?
With a head full of questions, God Star No. 6 instead calmed down, letting Ang pluck him until he was fragmented.
Originally, his mission was to verify the Gate of No Boundary. Anyway, he was going to be torn to pieces. There is no difference between being dismembered once or twice, as long as he doesn't explode before seeing anything.
His body size kept shrinking, and soon the mass fell below the equilibrium line. However, God Star No. 6 didn't explode, because when he was about to fall below the equilibrium line, he began to feel the power of the gravity midpoint acting on him.
If the power of the two Devouring Abysses acted entirely on him, that would be a tug-of-war. If only a very small force acted on him, just enough to fill the mass balance, that wouldn't be a tug-of-war, but protection.
Now, the power of the gravity midpoint is protecting him, slowly increasing, filling the missing part of the mass balance. For every unit of mass reduced, gravity increases by one unit, just like someone using a balance to measure these two forces, precisely increasing or decreasing.
In the end, God Star No. 6 shrunk to only one-sixtieth of his original size. This mass had already reached the size limit of a single ejection of the gravity string.
Ang tapped God Star No. 6, and an imprint was placed on him. Before God Star No. 6 could see the imprint clearly, Ang had already pulled the gravity string, and whoosh, God Star No. 6 was shot out.
God Star No. 6 only felt darkness before his eyes, and then he crashed into 'himself'. This kind of description is hard for ordinary people to understand. How can one crash into 'oneself'?
But for individuals whose consciousness and body can separate and exist independently, it is easy to understand. For example, if your consciousness runs faster than your body, when you uncontrollably return to your body, you will have a feeling similar to crashing into yourself.
God Star No. 6 did indeed crash into himself. The Star Flame Ang shot over earlier had already condensed into a pool of loose Star Flame here, until God Star No. 6 crashed into it.
Just like falling into a ball of gel, the next moment, all the gel gathered around God Star No. 6, quickly condensing into a God Star.
The roaring Star Flame was burning, soon illuminating the surrounding black mist, but it was blocked by the black mist from all light, unable to shine on any further places.
God Star No. 6 found himself shot into a huge Mist of Increment, and the dense Mist of Increment blocked his perception.
"Where is this?" God Star No. 6's heart sank. Originally, he wanted to use the last chance to determine the location of the Gate of No Boundary. He didn't expect the other side to have guarded against this move long ago, actually using Mist of Increment to cover up all location information.
Now he can only determine the approximate direction through his perception of the projection, but he cannot determine the distance. Wanting to find a door in the void relying on such vague information is simply harder than letting him kill a Space-Time Ancient Dragon.
"The Gate of No Boundary is there." Anthony floated out from the Mist of Increment, but didn't answer God Star No. 6's words, instead pointing to the Gate of No Boundary in the distance.
God Star No. 6 took a deep look at Anthony and found that this Anthony was exactly the same as the Anthony at the gravity midpoint.
Does he have two identical bodies? Or is there a way to move quickly? God Star No. 6 muttered in his heart and floated toward the Gate of No Boundary.
Anthony opened the Gate of No Boundary, grabbed a wisp of black mist, and threw it into the door. The black mist passed through without any obstruction, and then Anthony immediately closed the door again.
"Hey—" God Star No. 6 shouted subconsciously. He hadn't seen clearly how the black mist went in, why did it close?
Anthony said calmly: "You have already seen clearly that it is connected. You can verify for yourself where it leads, but you must know that after you go in, you must offer your soul to my Lord. Do you agree?"
"You promised that after I go in, I can come out once to report the situation to my companions. We also agreed that if I cannot contact them within the agreed time, it means I was deceived by you, and they will broadcast your deception in the void," said God Star No. 6.
Anthony nodded: "That's right. I established a contract in the name of my Lord. You don't have to worry about me violating it. Please."
Anthony cleared the space in front of the Gate of No Boundary.
Looking at the Gate of No Boundary, God Star No. 6 hesitated for a small while. Going like this meant he had to discard his original body.
However, thinking that he was already exhausted and there was nothing to be nostalgic about his original body, he decisively cut off the connection with the original body, and his consciousness completely merged into this Dark Star clone at this moment.
From this moment on, he was no longer an aging God Star, but an insignificant Dark Star.
Opening the Gate of No Boundary, God Star No. 6 drilled in without hesitation.
