Chapter 1685
Having gathered all light and aura, the increment core and Morania were like two stones floating in the void—hard to notice unless they collided head-on.
But Ange's vision, measured by the Balance Ring, was unaffected by the void's darkness; after sharing Ange's vision, Nai Ge Li Si and Anthony saw a giant cat trampling the void, sprinting toward them at great speed.
This cat was truly massive—over five thousand kilometers in body length, plump yet moving with remarkable lightness and agility.
Its limbs alternately traced trails in the void; after running a distance, it suddenly lunged forward, plunged into the void, then emerged from the opposite end like a teleport.
Nai Ge Li Si exclaimed in shock: "Is this a dimensional beast? A feline relative? So huge?"
After leaving the Chaos Surface, we'd seen no other dimensional beasts—never expected to encounter one here, and its size defied imagination; can dimensional beasts really grow this large? What does it eat to get this big?
Anthony pondered, then turned to Ange: "My lord, could you summon the giant cat? Let's try to communicate, ask what's going on."
Ange nodded and directly manifested a dimensional beast's form; with increment, he can manifest anything in the void—he is the Seven Powers Unified Origin, and the seven primal forces can be freely combined.
He pulled the cat's consciousness from dimensional space into the beast's body, then pointed toward the dimensional giant beast and said: "Roar."
Consciousness is something Ange cannot manifest—it is essentially a form of increment; he can manifest flesh but not increment.
The cat, just reborn, was still dazed; hearing Ange's words, it let out a confused "ow-ow" and looked in the direction he pointed—there was nothing it could see, its vision not that far.
Ange let out a few more "ows," finished explaining, then grabbed the cat's scruff and hurled it hard toward the dimensional giant beast.
The cat had no choice—its limbs flailed wildly, its body shot like a cannonball straight toward the dimensional giant beast.
As distance closed, the cat seemed to sense something, rolled forward, planted its four paws firmly, stretched its head forward, and strained its eyes to see ahead.
Until it saw a five-thousand-kilometer giant beast emerge from the void's blackness—it froze, eyes wide, limbs flailing madly, turned and fled.
Not long after running, the dimensional giant beast seemed to notice it, opened its mouth and let out a silent shout.
The cat stopped, confused, turned to face the dimensional giant beast, as if recognizing it as the same kind.
The two dimensional beasts, one large and one small, cautiously approached, exchanging "ow-ow" sounds.
"What are they saying?" Anthony turned to Nai Ge Li Si and asked.
Nai Ge Li Si translated: "They're greeting—one asks what you are, the other says I am a dimensional beast; the cat says: I am also a dimensional beast, why are you so big? The giant beast replies: Eat, eat more, eat more and you'll grow."
The cat asked: Where are you going?
The dimensional giant beast replied: The void is collapsing—run fast!
The cat asked: Where to?
The dimensional giant beast: To Rui Pan, the void's support pillars—there are fortifications there.
The cat said: Take my master along.
The dimensional giant beast roared: "Master, you're enslaved? Take me to kill your master, regain freedom—dimensional beasts never serve!"
The cat said: "My master feeds me."
The dimensional giant beast said: "A little food and you think you can enslave me? Hurry and lead the way—I want to kill him. You came from that direction—I'll go find him."
After saying this, the dimensional giant beast exerted force, lunged forward, its entire form vanished, and flashed before Morania and the increment core.
But the next moment, it froze.
Though most of its mass had been shed, the increment core still retained one ten-thousandth the volume of a divine star—and that one ten-thousandth is six times the size of a Little Fire Person.
And the Little Fire Person's diameter spans hundreds of thousands of kilometers; compared to the increment core, the five-thousand-kilometer-long dimensional giant beast is like a speck of dust.
Moreover, Morania's mass exceeds the increment core by more than tenfold; when the dimensional giant beast flashed before these two colossal objects, its face turned white with fear.
Divine stars are the origin of all things in the void—whether you're a dimensional beast, an ancient god, or anything else, divine stars are the supreme starting point.
This rank and size suppression—had the dimensional giant beast not been frightened into incontinence, it would already be doing well; when the cat returns, seeing the beast standing properly, tail curled beneath, not daring to move.
Anthony directly said to the cat: "Cat, ask it where the void's support pillars are? And what are these fortifications it mentioned?"
The cat: Ow-ow!
The dimensional giant beast: Ow-ow-ow-ow!
Well, in the end, Nai Ge Li Si still had to translate: "The void's support pillars are energy columns sustaining all void pathways and Rui Pan; energy density there is extremely high—unlike the empty void, once there, no force, however great, can tear space, due to insufficient energy level."
Everyone exchanged glances; Anthony told the cat: "Ask if it can bring us to the void's support pillars."
Ow-ow! The dimensional giant beast agreed, and seemed pleased, rolling on the spot twice—but as Ange's will swept over, it instantly sat like a cat, motionless.
Nai Ge Li Si hesitantly said: "I feel it's quite excited—why? Seeking shelter? Is the journey that dangerous?"
The dimensional giant beast nodded obediently, then let out another series of ow-ow-ow-ows.
Nai Ge Li Si translated: "It means only divine stars can reach the void's support pillars; ordinary beings cannot go there—please bring us."
Anthony pondered: "Can even domain ghosts not reach there? Is the ghost's true form perhaps in the void's support pillars?"
Ursman said: "We previously speculated domain ghosts reside in Rui Pan; if true, the likeliest place is the void's support pillars."
The king hurriedly said: "Come on, let's go to the void's support pillars and look around—if we find the ghost's true form, we'll chop it."
As the words fell, Ange suddenly looked toward the direction the dimensional giant beast came from; the increment core instantly flipped, transformed into a giant skeleton, stepped forward, pushed both hands outward—a black curtain rapidly unfurled between his hands, firmly shielding Morania and the increment core.
Soon after the black curtain formed, a white light appeared in the distant void; the point grew larger and brighter, swiftly illuminating the dark void.
Ten-odd minutes after the light illuminated the void, a violent shockwave arrived in succession, striking the void curtain; the region where the curtain stood began to violently tremble.
The void curtain bore the brunt, shattering rapidly—but as it shattered, it also expanded, attempting to balance between fragmentation and expansion to maintain sufficient coverage.
However, the shockwave's force soon peaked; the curtain's shattering speed outpaced its expansion; the shockwave's edge swept over Morania, scraping off a chunk of its carapace; the Moren living there vanished without a cry, not even bone fragments remaining.
Under this void-power shockwave, the Moren's bodies were as fragile as dust.
The next moment, the shockwave ahead of the curtain slowed; a force acting directly on time delayed the shockwave; the curtain's shattering speed greatly decreased, its expansion speed greatly increased, soon patching the gap.
Yet the king, reduced to just a head, moved his jaw up and down: "Not good!"
