Chapter 1656
All fear stems from insufficient firepower; if you can't kill the ghost guide, you'll naturally fear him.
But when your firepower can instantly annihilate him, the ghost guide is no longer something to fear.
Instead, most people on Ange's side were startled.
Anthony called out on the soul network: "Ursman, how are you? Are you okay?"
Ursman replied with lingering fear: "I'm here, I'm fine, but my body is gone."
Lord Nai Ge Li Si asked doubtfully: "What kind of attack was that? How did it knock out your body in one hit?"
"Star Flame, just Star Flame, ordinary Star Flame, but the quantity was too great, and the speed was extremely fast." Ursman said.
Because they had soaked in Star Flame before, Ange's people generally had no reverence for Star Flame, feeling it was just a hotter lava liquid; falling on it, they wouldn't die immediately.
But the Star Flame casually flung by Kelaniya revealed another kind of power—like a water column instantly turning into a water blade, instantly killing a ghost guide.
If Ursman hadn't reacted quickly, even his consciousness couldn't have escaped.
But even if consciousness couldn't escape, it wouldn't matter; now Ange's subjects have a habitual action: periodically transferring their memories to Ange.
It's equivalent to establishing one's own Life Box with Ange; even if one dies, Ange can resurrect them through the Life Box.
However, death is an instinctive fear for all living beings; those unafraid of death have long died out, and even immortal beings fear soul and annihilation—being undead is best.
"Everyone, pay attention to Kelaniya's Star Flame; don't let him hit you." Anthony urgently warned everyone.
But it was useless; after killing Ursman, Kelaniya's mind locked onto Erluni, and a mass of Star Flame shot from within him, skipping toward Erluni.
Erluni tried to dodge, but found Kelaniya's mind had locked his position, making his movement abnormally sluggish—mind quicksand.
Erluni is also a battle-hardened God of Law, with incredibly rich combat experience; he immediately abandoned his form and dove toward Ange's direction.
Kelaniya's skipping Star Flame bombarded Erluni's position, covering a diameter of two thousand kilometers up, down, left, and right; within this range, everything was annihilated once, including Erluni's form, the space he occupied, and all dimensions.
Such an energy level attack—don't mention others; even if there were a dimensional space here, it would be erased—just that terrifying.
This energy level attack has transcended single layers; even hiding in a dimensional space is useless.
In an instant, two ghost guides were annihilated under Kelaniya's attack; this crushing offensive left Lord Nai Ge Li Si and others utterly bewildered, unable to help asking: "Is he really this strong? Why was he so embarrassed when pressed by Dariso?"
"Is he faking it?"
Dariso said with lingering fear: "He wanted to ambush my lord, so he didn't go all out against me then, and his true body wasn't there; what fought me was his Star Flame incarnation."
Anthony quickly said: "I underestimated his strength; everyone, retreat first."
Everyone hastily retreated, regrouped at a safe distance, all staring at each other, the situation exceeding their expectations.
Lord Nai Ge Li Si said: "Now I know why the God Stars have no techniques or skills—if I had such terrifying primal energy, I'd still need techniques?"
Anthony also sighed: "Yes, great power can outweigh ten flashy skills; his skipping Star Flame annihilates space—this energy level can erase any existence; indeed, no need to develop techniques."
Lord Nai Ge Li Si said: "So what now? We can't stop him; the true body of the Sixth God Star is in trouble."
Everyone's heart echoed Ange's voice: "Sixth God Star, moved."
"What? The Sixth God Star moved? Did you push it?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si exclaimed in shock.
When they came, the Sixth God Star couldn't move; how could it move in the blink of an eye? What did Ange do?
Everyone felt a tangled emotion, as if seeing Ange scratching his head again.
Lord Nai Ge Li Si said helplessly: "Fine, fine, fine, you don't need to say it; anyway, we know he can move, that's enough."
Everyone heard Ange seemingly sigh in relief.
After knowing the Sixth God Star could move, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, because it meant the Sixth God Star could flee, rather than stay put and take the blast.
Dariso said: "Unleash the ultimate move; I'll guide my lord."
He had said before: if the situation turns unfavorable, he can guide foreign ghosts.
Anthony and Lord Nai Ge Li Si exchanged a glance, then quickly notified Ange via the soul network to cut ties with Dariso, so Dariso couldn't guide Ange over.
After notifying Ange, they calmed down and seriously watched Dariso's guidance.
The reason ghost guides are called guides is because they can guide foreign ghosts to attack targets; the "guide" in their name is their purpose.
Everyone had seen Dariso's guidance before, but back then, due to distance and Ange sensing the guidance and responding early, the whole process was incomplete.
Later, to avoid arousing Dariso's suspicion, Anthony never asked about guidance; now finally having a chance to witness it firsthand, everyone focused intently, hoping to learn it if possible.
Dariso first closed his eyes, focused, and stood motionless.
This should be the guidance preparation: first sense foreign ghosts, then begin guidance.
But Ange has already cut ties with him; if he could still sense, it would surely be the true foreign ghosts.
Lord Nai Ge Li Si couldn't help rubbing his hands: "A bit nervous—if he really guides foreign ghosts over and discovers us, what then?"
"What then? Would we make foreign ghosts suspicious here?" Anthony asked, puzzled.
"Wouldn't we?" Lord Nai Ge Li Si wondered.
"Everyone says foreign ghosts are a weapon; if it's a weapon, then no; if yes, then it's not a weapon but a powerful existence with self-awareness."
"If we standing here could test whether it's a weapon or an independent entity, that'd be worthwhile." Anthony said.
"I'm afraid it might casually erase us." Lord Nai Ge Li Si said.
Anthony spread his hands: "If you're afraid, you can upload your memory to my lord; then I can resurrect you."
Lord Nai Ge Li Si complained: "Resurrecting only your memory—if consciousness dies, it's dead; consciousness is your essence; resurrection via memory is merely your mirror image."
Though he said that, Lord Nai Ge Li Si still hurriedly uploaded his memory to Ange; with Ange serving as everyone's Life Box, as long as Ange doesn't die, no one will die.
Just then, Dariso fiercely opened his eyes; the entire person's aura changed.
Anthony, Lord Nai Ge Li Si, Hisuro, and all present beings with avatars felt a sudden jolt, a distant point appearing in everyone's perception.
In that point, a powerful, terrifying aura cast its gaze upon them.
