"But even so, what can you do to ? I am but a consciousness, a fluctuation, I’m not even energy. All you can do is imprison within your mind, within your consciousness. But the mont there’s the slightest chance, I will break free from this imprisonnt and take over your consciousness, completely controlling your body! And by then, the terrifying power of the Star Devourers will still be mine! Hahahaha!"
These words from the God Chaser troubled Ruosha, for she and Isrile had just tried many spiritual spells, but all of them had been completely ineffective against the God Chaser!
Letting him reside within her own consciousness? Ruosha was not insane to that extent.
"Despair! Despair! The more you despair, the weaker your ntal defenses beco! When your ntal defenses are eventually full of holes, that’s when I will control you!"
"Wait, what is this?"
Ruosha was amazed to find that countless tiny golden sparks had suddenly appeared in the originally white spiritual world!
These tiny golden sparks gathered from all directions, eventually forming an arc as thick as a thumb. The arc, like a snake hunting prey, moved beneath the God Chaser, then raised a section, and split into countless tinier arcs that tentatively touched the God Chaser.
"Is this... Snake?" Ruosha widened her eyes and glanced at Isrile. Given Long Yi’s habit of sharing the best things with everyone, he had once shared a portion of the Snake with everyone around him. However, this bizarre power was not controlled, and they had almost forgotten its existence until now. In this critical mont, the Snake erged on its own.
"God Eater!"
The voice of the God Chaser was distorted.
"No! Don’t devour ! I know secrets! I know the secrets of the Star Devourers! I also know the secrets of the gods! Don’t let it devour !!" This ti, the God Chaser seed genuinely frightened.
"But the problem is, we can’t control it," Ruosha said helplessly.
Boom!
Perhaps having found the best position to attack, the Snake suddenly burrowed into the cage, completely entangling the red fluctuations, followed by nurous mory fragnts spraying out from the God Chaser.
Isrile was instantly expelled from Ruosha’s spiritual world, and she went blank for a long ti. Finally, her eyes cleared. But looking down at the Spider Silk covering her body, she signaled with her eyes, "I won’t hold it against you for calling flat-chested, just let go now."
Isrile imdiately laughed, releasing the Spider Silk, "It seems you really are back."
Ruosha sighed with relief, "This bastard is far more dangerous than I thought, honestly, I really owe you one this ti, if it wasn’t for you, I might really have been done for."
Isrile, unusually, did not take the opportunity to retort, but simply smiled and nodded, then asked, "Did those mory fragnts yield anything?"
Ruosha thought for a mont, "Since they are all fragnts, so details are still missing, but they were able to form a complete clue, especially concerning the clues about the Star Devourers."
As it turned out, the Star Devourers could be considered a creation by both the Giants and the gods. The Giants created the Tetrahedron structure magic. And gods used this magic along with Kela Particles to create the Star Devourers. In fact, they don’t actually call themselves Star Devourers, the gods even died before giving this life form a suitable na. Then, a certain God Chaser, through a very special thod, had abducted a Star Devourer from one of their groups and brought it to this world. The enraged Star Devourers of the sa species have been trying to find their lost kin, and that’s why they continuously devour planets. They do so not really to devour the planets but just to identify which one is their kin. But the Giants and the Balance Church didn’t know this, thinking that the Star Devourers were evil life forms, which led them to battle these beings for so long. This is also why Star Devourers always gather near spatial fissures, in fact not just any spatial fissure attracts them, only those that lead to the middle Plane, because they know very well that their kin are on the middle Plane.
So essentially, the trouble was all stirred up by the so-called God Chaser.
"So, this is a typical case of one jerk causing trouble, and the whole Plane suffers because of it?" Isrile said.
"Exactly," Ruosha nodded, then looked down at the two recently severed Star Devourer cores. Ruosha began to repair those damaged places, and supplent them with Kela Particles.
"So what have these people been researching here all this ti?" Isrile asked.
"You won’t believe it, this God Chaser thinks he has completely mastered everything about the Star Devourers. So, he tried to lure more Star Devourers to this world, with the aim of controlling more Star Devourers. But his own abilities were limited, just so happens that a few unlucky ones ca here several hundred years ago, and he managed to control them, and so the following events just unfolded naturally," Ruosha said.
"Oh my god, what confidence," Isrile exclaid in astonishnt.
"This isn’t just confidence anymore, it’s clearly foolishness," Ruosha said.
"Actually, that’s exactly what I ant, I just phrased it more delicately," Isrile said with a smile. She looked around and continued, "That ans, up to now, everything here has been resolved, right?"
Ruosha shook her head, "There’s still one problem, there’s still a Star Devourer here, no, I should say, there’s a Star Devourer mother and a group of small Star Devourers."
The previously controlled Star Devourer Core Group gradually separated, becoming a large Star Devourer core and several small Star Devourer cores. The smaller cores approached and surrounded Ruosha, showing a hint of closeness. anwhile, the large core slowly emitted Kela Particles, silently replenishing the severely damaged cores with Kela Particles.
"Wait a second! Are you saying that Star Devourers can actually reproduce offspring? Really reproduce?" It was only then that Isrile grasped the main point.
"Yes, exactly," Ruosha said. With the inclusion of the large core, Ruosha’s repair work on the two smaller cores progressed even faster, and soon, the two cores were completely restored. Fortunately, they hadn’t been damaged for long and could almost function as before. If they were left like the two cores inside the golden warship for thousands of years, even bringing them back to life wouldn’t work.
Finally, the two cores were completely restored and joyfully returned to the vicinity of the large core. Although Isrile didn’t understand the language of the Star Devourers, she could still feel that they seed extrely close to each other.
"Does this an that our view of them has been wrong all along?" Isrile asked Ruosha.
"No, it’s not wrong. For the entire Plane, Star Devourers are still a huge threat because they are too powerful, but the good news is, they actually don’t like this Plane. In fact, they prefer Fissures because, unlike , they can’t produce Kela Particles on their own; they can only get Kela Particles in Fissures. Being trapped here for such a long ti has made them very weak. It’s difficult for them to break open the Fissure again, and our magic, though capable, simply cannot open a Fissure strong enough to send them back," Ruosha explained.
"So what do we do?" Isrile asked.
"There’s not much we can do, we’ll have to wait until Brother Long gets here. Since Star Devourers are originally based on Giant technology, Brother Long might have a good solution," Ruosha said.
"So we just let them stay here?" Isrile looked towards the large core and several small cores far away, appearing like a happy family.
"How could that be possible? They’ll co with ," Ruosha said.
The thod Star Devourers use to recognize their kind is very simple: through the vibrations of Kela Particles. That’s why, during the baptism earlier, two small cores ca following Ruosha.
Originally, the large core had mistaken Ruosha for one of its kind, and because Ruosha deployed Kela Particles with more intensity, the large core regarded her as a strong mber of its kind, so it specifically sent its children to seek Ruosha’s help. Now, with the God Chasers gone and temporarily unable to return to the Fissure, these Star Devourer cores could only follow Ruosha.
Although a Star Devourer could potentially grow as large as a planet, that’s based on the attraction of Kela Particles. For Star Devourers, the excess structural parts are expendable, but the core is crucial.
So when Ruosha proposed to take them away from here, the large core and its children imdiately shrank and followed Ruosha. The constant nourishnt from the Kela Particles surging around Ruosha made them not want to leave at all.
Returning to the surface, they found it had already descended into chaos. The reason was simple: the God Chasers had just died, and all ntal curses had disappeared. The researchers imdiately stepped out of their fanatical faith, and imnse confusion brought about imnse chaos.
The chaos centered between the ordinary people and the Apostles.
Previously, all ordinary people loyally obeyed the Apostles due to their faith, executing any commands from the Apostles—whether or not they were reasonable.
But now, as people woke up and overca their initial confusion, they imdiately noticed the Apostles around them. Since the Apostles hadn’t been brainwashed, they didn’t understand what exactly had happened to the ordinary people. When an unfortunate Apostle tried to use his authority to suppress others, the conflict imdiately escalated.
As Ruosha and Isrile appeared, being the focal point of all the conflicts, the Apostles could only barely manage under the continuous bombardnt of surrounding magic and Fighting Aura. On one hand, the nearby research institute’s strength was generally limited, and on the other, the Apostles usually carried so useful equipnt. There were simply too many ordinary people around, and with repeated attacks, even those with equipnt couldn’t hold on for long.
Among the crowd of Apostles, an old Apostle was still loudly calling, trying to calm people down, but now that ordinary people saw the Apostles, their anger was inflad—how could they possibly still listen to him? anwhile, Zuo La was beside him, urging the old Apostle to retreat quickly. If a spell broke through the defense, things could turn very ssy.
Just then, a loud shout rang out: "Everyone stop!"
The ones who appeared were Ruosha and Isrile. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to vote for it at qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian to read.)
