Chapter 1621: Scared Me to Death
In Seeing Ange's consciousness space, a voice kept echoing: "Traveler of the laws, guardian of the void, projection of boundless power, please hear my voice. According to the laws you have established, my gaze is focused on the divine star here. It has violated the laws you set. Please project your boundless power and erase its consciousness..."
Over and over, it continued without stopping.
"It... it is praying? Praying for your power projection?" Nai Ge Li Si said in shock.
"Is this the ghost guide? Is it praying to you to obtain the power of foreign ghosts?" Divine Star No. 6 was even more shocked.
He knew too well the strength of foreign ghosts. These ghost guides could summon the power of foreign ghosts to erase an enemy's consciousness—a nearly unstoppable attack. But... why was its guidance received by Seeing Ange? Is Seeing Ange a foreign ghost?
"Unless..." Wul Suman said: "Unless your lord's fragmented avatar is not a repaired fragment of the ghost guide, but repaired using fragments of foreign ghosts."
Shock, surprise, disbelief—everyone stared at each other.
When we first picked up the fragments, everyone thought they were fragments of foreign ghosts. But after encountering Divine Star No. 6, who infused us with information about ghost guides, we naturally assumed the fragments came from the ghost guides. The so-called foreign ghosts were merely a method of attack.
But now, the ghost guide's prayer has overturned this conclusion. Foreign ghosts are not just an attack method—they possess physical form. And Seeing Ange's fragments indeed came from a foreign ghost.
"Um, so Seeing Ange, you've become a foreign ghost now? What do we do? Is it guiding you? Can you kill Divine Star No. 6?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.
Divine Star No. 6 jumped: "Kill me? No, why kill my true form? I'm not even in my true form."
"Exactly, Divine Star No. 6 is not in its true form. Why would it guide foreign ghosts to attack its true form? Foreign ghosts should only affect consciousness, just like the Star Migrants." Wul Suman said doubtfully.
"Could it be mistaken? Did it take the earlier manifested star flame for Divine Star No. 6, thus guiding foreign ghosts to attack Divine Star No. 6?" Nai Ge Li Si guessed.
Antony frowned and said: "If that's the case, that's too pathetic. Would ghost guides really make such a mistake?"
"Not necessarily. Looking at the ghost guide killed by Diridisi earlier, so-called ghost guides aren't just one. If their number isn't one, then there must be both strong and weak ones. Maybe this one is truly a novice? Let's test it." Wul Suman said.
Nai Ge Li Si asked: "How to test?"
Wul Suman looked at Antony, who thought for a moment and said: "How about this? My lord, you first turn into a shadow and pierce into Divine Star No. 6's true form, then circle around and come out, send out a message of doubt, then angrily capture this ghost guide alive."
Nai Ge Li Si burst out laughing on the spot: "Really? What if that ghost guide is very strong and Seeing Ange can't beat it? Even if he can, capturing it alive wouldn't be easy, right?"
Defeating and capturing alive are not the same. A slight superiority in strength can defeat an enemy, but capturing alive requires overwhelming the opponent's strength.
Antony emphasized capturing alive, apparently preparing again to extract information from the ghost guide.
Seeing Ange nodded, then his form submerged into the void, turning into a shadow that darted forward.
Divine Star No. 6 hurriedly said: "My lord, give me your mark. Leave a projection point inside me, like when you contaminated Glemz Fortress—just do that. I'll project back to receive my true form."
Seeing Ange 'nodded'. Although no one could see the shadow's movement, everyone knew he nodded.
"This dead skull, so lazy it won't even speak... that shadow doesn't look weak, is the dead skull really this strong?" Nai Ge Li Si said, somewhat surprised.
He wasn't worried about Seeing Ange, because this guy has the foresight power of the ancient space-time dragon and the weighing-all-things ability of the Balance Ring. Combined, they give Seeing Ange the ability to see enemies' colors: red for danger, yellow for harmless, green for overwhelming.
Seeing Ange rarely uses this color-based enemy discrimination ability, because he rarely encounters red enemies, and even when he does, he can avoid danger.
Everyone, including those divine stars dragging Divine Star No. 6's true form, noticed Seeing Ange's shadow approaching, like stirring a hornet's nest. Those divine stars threw down Divine Star No. 6 and fled desperately toward the distant matter cloud, not a single one daring to turn back and block—just fleeing in panic.
Seeing Ange's shadow swept through the void, swept past the ghost guide, and plunged headfirst into Divine Star No. 6's true form.
"Huh?" A message of doubt spread out.
The ghost guide, which had been moving forward, sensed this message of doubt and froze for a moment.
The next moment, another message spread out—not one, but a wave of dissatisfaction, and then Seeing Ange's shadow shot toward the ghost guide.
This ghost guide had guided ghosts, making it Seeing Ange's anchor point. Almost in a flash, Seeing Ange arrived before it, as if choking its neck, seizing its vital point.
The ghost guide had not even a trace of resistance, submitting to Seeing Ange gripping its vital point, and begged quickly: "Law Traveler, sorry, spare me, I was deceived, I will compensate."
From Seeing Ange's 'huh' and dissatisfaction, the ghost guide instantly realized what had happened—that the giant divine star actually had no consciousness, possibly even a trap, and it might have led the Law Traveler into a trap, deserving ten thousand deaths.
But the ghost guide didn't want to die. Seeing Ange could return immediately to punish it, meaning it wasn't a trap, or the trap wasn't enough to threaten the Law Traveler. If it sincerely apologized and truly compensated, would the Law Traveler spare its life?
Seeing Ange 'tilted his head'—of course, this wasn't an action, but a message of doubt.
This ghost guide seemed experienced in dealing with Law Travelers, immediately releasing a ball of black energy and saying: "Star soul, a single star soul, I alone killed this star soul—I offer it to you, hoping you can forgive my mistake this time."
Seeing Ange's shadow coiled, sucking that black energy ball into himself, then released it, soul-transferred away—in the ghost guide's eyes, this equaled instant disappearance.
The ghost guide relaxed completely, exhaled deeply: "Scared me to death..."
This sentence simultaneously echoed in Seeing Ange's consciousness space—apparently Seeing Ange was still receiving its 'prayer'. It seemed to have established a certain believer-deity relationship with Seeing Ange.
