Chapter 669: What to do if you're bullied by a big cat?

~8 min read 1,484 words

Ang rubbed the Starburst Array with his hands, using it to convert all the energy that De De Luo Sa had painstakingly accumulated into Spirit Beans, but the process was slow and orderly.

After trying it once, Ang knew where his limits lay. With his own strength, it was insufficient to make the Starburst Array release a violent attack like a starburst; the array would collapse before enough energy could be gathered.

The solution was simple: add more people. The World Passage of the Little Sapling connected two worlds, allowing Ang to transfer power between them. He couldn't transfer the Godhead, but he could transfer power.

Thus, two Undead Gods carried the load, the rest of the gods provided the power, and Ang, incarnated as the God of Scales, rubbed the Starburst Array there with his hands. The Ring of Scales allowed the structure of the array to remain accurate.

"The exquisite Starburst Array has formed, and it's running with a 'click-click-click' sound. Terrifying energy is gathering within. Xing Huo is panicked; her face has turned pale," Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si narrated passionately.

Du Luo Ken really couldn't hold back anymore: "Didn't you say he was rubbing the array by hand? Why is it making a 'click-click-click' sound? Also, can the Goddess Xing Huo's face turn pale? She doesn't have a circulatory system with blood or anything like that."

As the King of Alchemy, he was very particular about such details. He really couldn't imagine why an energy array rubbed by hand would make a clicking sound. Could it be energy overflow?

"I'm adding the sound effects, and 'pale face' is just a metaphor, okay?" Lord Lord Lord Nai Ge Li Si said.

"..."

Although it was just a metaphor, it had to be said that the metaphor was quite vivid. The expression of Goddess Xing Huo was indeed no different from being drained of color, and as the energy intensity of the Starburst Array grew higher and higher, it slowly turned into despair.

The Abyss Wall was an absolute defense, but at the same time, it was an absolute defense that could not move. From the moment it was cast, it was fixed there and could not be moved.

As long as the enemy could blast through the Abyss Wall, she, being inside it, would be like a free gift included with a purchase—wiped out along with it.

Judging from the energy intensity, it was clearly possible. She even recognized who the Starburst Array belonged to: "The Wanderer De De Luo Sa, you actually have a connection with him? Possessing the power of four Ancient Gods, who exactly are you!?"

Goddess Xing Huo no longer wanted to condense her World-Extinguishing Starfire, because the speed was far behind Ang's. On Ang's side, there were one, two, three, four... eight gods, while she only had one. She was outnumbered and weak.

Ang just tilted his head and didn't respond to her; talking was too much trouble.

Seeing this, Goddess Xing Huo sighed deeply. She stopped condensing the World-Extinguishing Starfire and instead guided the energy into her body, turning it into a protective radiance. Then, she took the small Dimensional Beast out from inside her collar and sent it out onto the ground outside the Abyss Wall.

"Goodbye, little one. I hope they won't make things difficult for you," Goddess Xing Huo said silently.

She wasn't prepared to surrender, but she didn't want the small Dimensional Beast to die with her. She could only set it free, hoping that since the other side also possessed Dimensional Beasts, they would treat this little one well.

The small Dimensional Beast was a bit confused. It widened its eyes and looked left and right. Seeing Goddess Xing Huo's position, it hurriedly stumbled and ran toward her.

But before it had run two steps, a paw pressed down on its head.

Struggling desperately to push the paw away, the small Dimensional Beast turned its head and saw an adult Dimensional Beast. It was so startled that it let out an "Awoo" cry.

After letting out an "Awoo, awoo, awoo—" cry, the little one looked at the Big Cat and stretched out its small paw, pointing desperately toward Goddess Xing Huo, seemingly wanting this creature that was the same as itself to help it save Xing Huo.

The Big Cat was also confused. Could this little one not distinguish between friend and foe? It hurriedly shook its head.

"Awoo—" the little one shouted angrily and started running toward Xing Huo with its short legs, but it was immediately pressed down by the Big Cat again.

Xing Huo felt both touched and heartbroken. She felt that her affection for it hadn't been in vain, but she was also worried that the Big Cat would press the little one too hard. However, she could see that the Big Cat was holding back its strength and had no intention of hurting the little one. She figured it should be able to treat it well.

Hardening her heart, Goddess Xing Huo turned her head to look at Ang. All her power was layered and stacked to protect her body; it seemed she was prepared to take the hit head-on.

Discovering that Goddess Xing Huo had stopped condensing the World-Extinguishing Starfire, Ang had stopped at the same time. After she came to her senses, it turned into a staring contest.

Goddess Xing Huo had piled up defenses on herself for a long time, only to find that Ang had stopped moving. She couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing?"

Ang tilted his head, wanting to say something, but found it too much trouble to talk, so he simply didn't.

Although he could blast her with the Starburst Array, she had already canceled the World-Extinguishing Starfire, so there was no need to waste energy. He would just wait for her defenses to disappear on their own.

Everyone stared at each other for a long while. Ang let the Undead Gods carry the Starburst Array while he landed on the ground and started farming.

This dimensional space was a fruit borne from the seed of the World Tree, transformed by the Big Cat. Everything here was constructed for the purpose of farming.

The family of Xiao Longchang and the old bachelor John had originally been settled here to tend to the crops, but because the space needed to be cleared to serve as a battlefield, they had been temporarily moved out.

As long as there was land to farm, Ang could keep going forever. His personal record was over 1,100 years.

Never mind 1,100 years, Xing Huo couldn't even wait for half a day. The Abyss Wall was the power of an artifact and would consume energy continuously, but the Starburst Array was Ang's power. As long as he had believers, there would be a steady stream of power projected onto him, and he wouldn't get tired even if he carried it.

How could Goddess Xing Huo outlast him? With no other choice, she had to withdraw the stacked defenses and instead condense the World-Extinguishing Starfire.

Consequently, Ang immediately darted back and continued rubbing the Starburst Array by hand.

Goddess Xing Huo, who had never encountered such a shameless battle tactic, felt her mentality crumbling. She didn't know whether she should stack defenses or condense the Starfire.

Condensing the Starfire certainly wouldn't be faster than the Starburst. By then, her own Starfire wouldn't have formed, she would have no defenses on her body, the Abyss Wall wouldn't be able to withstand the hit, and she would be annihilated along with it.

If she switched to stacking defenses, the other side would definitely stop again and slowly wear her down.

She had never imagined that using an artifact like the Abyss Wall would actually land her in such a dilemma. This made her shout angrily: "What exactly do you want!"

Ang tilted his head, reached out, and pulled Andongni in.

"Phew, it's finally my turn to appear. Listening from the outside was making me anxious to death." Andongni muttered as he rubbed his hands, then turned to Goddess Xing Huo and said:

"This beautiful lady, may I ask if this little cat is yours? What do you mean by throwing it here? Could it be that you want to abandon it? This is too irresponsible. You threw it here, and it's helpless and alone. What if it gets bullied by other big cats? Don't you think about it at all?"

"Actually, we don't need to fight to the death. As long as you answer a few of my questions and stay here with the little cat for a while, you can leave once all the chaos has subsided. Regardless of the outcome of our battle with the Dark Wings, it has nothing to do with you, who are 'sealed' here, right?" ===== CHAPTER 670 =====
