Chapter 1593

~7 min read 1,274 words

Under Negris's gaze, Ulsman rubbed his hands together to form an energy-state World-Extinguishing Array about a dozen meters in size. Seeing this, Negris let out a breath.

Fortunately, fortunately; although it was a bit complex, such a small size was acceptable. If he had really outlined the giant version of the World-Extinguishing Array, Negris estimated his eyeballs would have popped out.

After finishing the array, Ulsman let himself float in the void, transformed into a shadow, and then loaded himself into the muzzle of the array.

Negris was startled and hurriedly asked: "What are you doing? Are you going to blast yourself?"

Ulsman did not answer it, but quietly adjusted the direction of the array, pointing it at the very center of the God Star.

The World-Extinguishing Array fired, and Ulsman, transformed into a shadow, instantly slammed into the center of the God Star and pierced inside.

The God Star let out a shrill scream, then with a 'Boom—' of vibration, something inside the God Star exploded.

Negris took a deep breath and asked in shock: "Did you hit his Star Soul?"

No one responded. After calling several times in the soul network, Ulsman had no reaction. Finally, Ang reached out and grabbed Ulsman's consciousness back, though his overlay was shattered.

Taking an overlay from his body, he pressed Ulsman's consciousness into it. Only then did Ulsman, whose consciousness had suffered a heavy blow, slowly wake up.

Negris was both anxious and angry, shouting loudly: "Are you crazy? Using yourself as a World-Extinguishing Storm?"

Ulsman was still a bit dizzy and asked: "How is it, how is it? Did it hit?"

Negris said irritably: "It should have hit, but even if it did, what's the use? You almost died."

Ulsman said dismissively: "That's because I was too weak. If my overlay were stronger, destroying him would be easy. Not next time; next time I'll use another overlay and won't go in person."

Negris said: "You should have done that just now. It's a good thing Ang pulled you back. You madman, and you call yourself a wise man? Would a wise man be as crazy as you?"

While Negris was complaining, the God Star that had been hit began to boil slowly.

Although it had been hacked into deep ravines before and had erupted with hundreds of fire pillars, the God Star's star flames had remained stable. But at this moment, countless bubbles began to bubble up from the surface of the God Star.

They grew larger and more numerous, and countless star flames dissipated as the bubbles burst, just like the juices boiling over when cooking a stir-fry.

A complete God Star was thus frantically shedding its substance before everyone's eyes, like a sand pile being washed away by seawater on a beach.

One shot, using the World-Extinguishing Array as a crossbow and the ghost overlay as an arrow, and in one shot, the God Star's Star Soul was blasted away.

The God Star, having lost its Star Soul, could no longer maintain its form and frantically released its power into the void. As its main body dissipated and its mass was lost, the God Star, unable to maintain its gravitational structure, would explode.

However, that would take some time to dissipate, and it wouldn't explode just yet.

Dali Suo was dumbfounded. He looked at the God Star that was falling apart, then at Negris and Ulsman in the distance, feeling somewhat shocked and bewildered. It was over just like that?

Dali Suo's killing of a God Star had never been this efficient; he couldn't even kill a proper God Star. The Star Soul he had paid to Ang last time was one he had found from a very small, decaying God Star, and he had relied on the fact that the opponent couldn't run and couldn't beat him to grind it to death.

This time, he had also relied on the fact that there were so many Guides and Pathfinders present, so he had boldly proposed hunting a God Star. He hadn't expected it to actually succeed, and to succeed so quickly. Could it be an illusion?

The God Star's dissipation was no illusion. Dali Suo let out a breath. Whatever it was, the God Star was already dissipating anyway. Dali Suo shouted: "Everyone, go! Tear it apart, don't let the increment go to waste."

Only then did everyone react. Negris was the first to shout: "What about the Star Soul? The Star Soul? Grab the Star Soul and give it to Ang."

Ang shook his head and flipped open an overlay, which displayed a familiar shadow. Wasn't it the very God Star before them that was currently dissipating?

Just now, when Ulsman hit the opponent's Star Soul, he had already imprinted it. What was dissipating now was merely the God Star's main body.

The Star Soul was already in hand; the rest was just picking up the increment. Everyone was in high spirits and all swarmed up.

Wherever the shadows passed, those star flames that had not yet extinguished were converted into increment mist and were absorbed by the shadows. Repeating this, the God Star grew smaller circle by circle.

The God Star's cries for help alerted nearby God Stars, but they couldn't arrive that quickly. However, all the God Stars that received the signal turned into blue bright spots—blueshift—evidently approaching this place at high speed.

Faster than the God Stars were the Starborn. One by one, Starborn shifted out from the void, saw a patch of shadows surrounding the God Star and devouring it, then paused for a moment before retreating at the fastest speed, not staying for even a second.

Not long after, those star spots that had originally shown blueshift suddenly brightened and then turned red.

"Redshift means moving away. They ran?" Negris asked in astonishment.

"Are we that scary?" Ulsman also asked in astonishment.

Only Dali Suo took it for granted: "They run when they see me, too. I alone could scare them away, let alone so many of us. What they fear isn't us, but the Lord. If they knew the Lord was also here, they would run even faster."

The entire hollow's God Stars were incredibly shocked because the Starborn sent news that several Ghost Guides had come here. The redshift light of the God Stars fleeing in panic spread throughout the entire hollow.

Before Negris and the others could finish plundering this God Star, the entire hollow dimmed. All starlight disappeared, and those colorful lines also vanished. The hollow returned to pitch-black, deathly silence.

"Did they all run away?" Negris asked in shock. It turns out Ghost Pathfinders are such terrifying existences in the void; they are practically scavengers.

With no one to disturb them, everyone quietly devoured the God Star completely, then looked at the silent hollow with a sense of lingering desire.

The harvest was too great. Everyone felt that the strength of their two overlays had increased several times over. From consciousness to form, they were all plump and full of energy. There was a feeling of being so strong that they couldn't control the increment power in their bodies, wishing they could go to the street, catch a big guy, and beat him up.

The increase in power also brought some unexpected benefits; even Negris learned shadow levitation.

Power growth is addictive, otherwise there wouldn't be so many fitness fanatics. Now, even Diluni and Xisluo, who liked fighting the least, wished they could find another God Star to slaughter.

Unfortunately, all the God Stars had run away or had hidden themselves. Everyone looked at each other: "Split up and search!"
