Chapter 1536 - 1084: Advancing Technology
"How about letting me take the next turn? Give me a chance," said Lin Yaoyao, who arrived late, somewhat wistfully asking her friends for their opinions.
Qi Xiangyun’s speed was overwhelming for the Star God, and coupled with the Star God’s massive star body, it took the full brunt of the output and was directly struck down by Qi Xiangyun.
When it comes to Liu Hongzhao, wouldn’t dealing with the Star God be more challenging? After all, there is no restrictive attribute involved, and her Demonic Abyss Seven Kills form cannot act like Qi Xiangyun’s.
Lin Yaoyao was the slowest runner, thus, she watched most clearly. Her Demonic Abyss Seven Kills were more restrictive to the Star God’s star body.
After all, she possesses water and soil attributes, and when combined, the life attribute doesn’t hinder the original attributes’ performance, just as the green dragon, despite having the life attribute, doesn’t fare poorly in water and soil-type talents.
The soil-earth type form of Demonic Abyss Seven Kills is enough to take down the Star God. However, its speed is not as fast as Qi Xiangyun, requiring a bit more time.
"You should discuss this matter with Hongzhao; I should be able to act independently." Qi Xiangyun looked towards the sky, having already proven her strength.
When Zheng Yichen uses Parallel Differentiation to deal with the Star God next, she can act alone.
"Hold on—" Lilith’s voice came through, not making Qi Xiangyun and the others wait long; after half a minute, this parallel space disappeared, and they returned to the interior of the Firmament Wheel.
This is where Lilith resides; Zheng Yichen doesn’t have the time, while Lilith has enough threads to manage these matters, and she can mark suitable Star Gods for Zheng Yichen.
When the time comes, Zheng Yichen just needs to use Parallel Differentiation to strike down those Star Gods.
Liu Hongzhao and the others watched several light screens in the control room. The screens showed others’ battles, and Zheng Yichen’s Parallel Differentiation threw several Star Gods.
They were only responsible for one of them. In the image, a white giant dragon spews out dazzling Dragon Breath.
The Dragon Breath collided with the impact released by the Star God, suppressing it before infiltrating the star body’s interior, its surface layer, with a diameter exceeding two hundred kilometers, emerged with countless glows.
The explosive glows tore the star body of the Star God from the inside, the exposed Star Core was grabbed by a white light shadow’s hand and crushed.
Then, Tanshia Firlo’s laughter resounded.
"It would be best to preserve the Star Core somewhat complete for making Godslayer Weapons," Lilith’s voice transmitted through the light screen, leaving the proud Tanshia Firlo stunned for a moment.
Looking at the shattered Star Core around, scratching her head, she swung her claw to scoop up all those broken Star Cores.
She admitted she got a bit excited, after all, it was rare to assist Zheng Yichen in battle.
In high-level battles, her presence was too low, but after Zheng Yichen mastered Parallel Differentiation and managed to split the battlefield, she could truly play her role.
"Can’t the Fosterer preserve the Star Core?" Back in the control room, still in her dragon form, Tanshia Firlo curiously asked.
"Yes, but there’s no need; you can try to preserve them," Lilith created a new light screen, featuring Zheng Yichen’s battle records.
After watching, they had no objections.
"Hurry to the next battle," Lin Yaoyao said eagerly.
Lilith nodded lightly, her gaze briefly resting on Qi Xiangyun; based on the collected combat data, she could mark suitable targets for Zheng Yichen to divide.
This is a necessary process; effective marking can make Zheng Yichen more efficient in segmenting those unnecessary to contact but must be dealt with.
It also ensures Qi Xiangyun and the others can resolve their targets in the shortest time.
The collected Star Cores were sent to the factory inside the Firmament Wheel, where those not suitable for direct combat were responsible for crafting new weapons.
Corresponding design plans would undergo new processing by Lilith for new upgrades and improvements through the Virtual World.
"It’s truly frightening," said Little Holy Maiden Lillian sincerely as she looked at the returned design blueprint, her gaze settling on the nearby Star Core, equivalent to a Godhead.
Though it differs from her understanding of Godhead and is incredibly massive, she never expected she’d one day freely use such items as materials to craft Godslayer Weapons targeting Star Gods.
Things can be made, but in her world, no True God would be this extravagant, directly using Godheads to make weapons.
Yet, her world doesn’t have so many Star Gods...
"If more battle-adept sisters come here, we could also directly partake in battles, right?" Lillian glanced at Alphis beside her.
Her small face showed slight helplessness. The three Holy Maidens who came here are not the combat-capable type, even if their Father God granted them God’s Core, providing True God strength.
Yet, this merely elevates their power and does not mean they possess true True God strength, thus dubbed as substandard.
Star Gods are genuine True Gods.
"Don’t overthink, let’s get to work," said Forest Witch Eileena at the side; her thoughts weren’t as rich as Lillian’s, and didn’t fret over combat, as there are many places to make contributions.
Since the plan is to create Godslayer Weapons, curses become a very effective means. The power of the Star Core combined with a curse is enough to affect those Star Gods.
Outside the Firmament Wheel, Zheng Yichen’s blood-red silhouette swiftly threaded through the concentrated attacks of the Star Gods. His newly acquired extreme speed allowed him more reaction time.
The perception of Star God power enables Zheng Yichen to better predict the trajectories of those attacks.
The Star Gods range in size, with the smallest having a diameter of over a hundred kilometers, and the largest being even larger than the moon, or in some cases, bigger than Mars.
The sheer size of the star bodies doesn’t mean they’re slow. On the contrary, the larger ones move quite swiftly. Zheng Yichen aimed to approach the star bodies, but they could compete with him in speed.
The massive star bodies passively affect the surrounding space, preventing Zheng Yichen from swiftly closing in through spatial distortion. Willpower interference is possible, but it gets countered by the will of the Star Cluster.
The number of stars is overwhelming. The innate will-influencing power of the Star Gods gives them an advantage in this kind of confrontation.
Even with Zheng Yichen at full firepower, it takes him half a minute to a minute to eliminate a Star God. Lilith has already charted the number of targets on the map, 88,413...
This is the current number of targets. After Zheng Yichen destroyed the star body of one Star God, the count goes down by one, but how efficient is this approach? Even if he speeds up a bit.
Using area of effect attacks to kill many Star Gods, the average kill time still won’t be less than twenty seconds.
Moreover, the star bodies have already dispersed, and just traversing the distances wastes a lot of Zheng Yichen’s time.
Zheng Yichen suspects this world is being used by the Boundary Breaking Faction as a "trap world." No need to mention the current situation, where killing a Proxy Agent is remarkably easy.
Even if this world’s environment is highly formidable, it’s still not easy to wipe out all these Star Gods in a short time.
With an average of twenty seconds to kill one Star God, Zheng Yichen would need to fight continuously, without rest, for over twenty days to annihilate all the Star Gods.
On top of that, as the number of Star God deaths increases, he still can’t maintain such a high level of efficiency in killing.
The distance between the Star Gods and him is still widening, yet their attacks can reach over long distances to obstruct Zheng Yichen.
Star Gods are more adept at long-range attacks.
As the density of Star Gods decreases, Zheng Yichen’s kill efficiency will get lower. Lilith analyzed for him that if he maintains the current status, it would take at least six months to kill all the Star Gods!
Most of this time would be spent on pursuit, as willpower interference is a kind of reality-bending power that allows Zheng Yichen to accomplish tasks that would normally be difficult, or even impossible.
But the harder the task, the greater the consumption, and he can’t continuously use willpower interference.
Once Zheng Yichen shows any signs of weakening, those Star Gods fighting for their survival will certainly unleash a frenzied counterattack on him.
Zheng Yichen must not stop the slaughter, but he also can’t fight tirelessly without rest.
Therefore, to ensure efficient slaughter, Zheng Yichen not only has to combat but also continuously advance technology to develop weapons targeting the Star Gods.
As for the Star-devouring Evil Spirit, as it grows by consuming Star God power, it can also serve as an important material in the development of Godslayer Weapons.
This won’t cause any damage to the Star-devouring Evil Spirit. It’s fundamentally composed of countless "collective" forms, and separating a portion, it can recover simply by consuming more, with the number of independent small units increasing.
Zheng Yichen’s slaughter won’t stop, nor will the Star Gods’ counterattacks. They have nowhere to run, and having fused with the Boundary Breaking core, unless they choose to end their own lives by destroying their Star Core, every single one is a target for Zheng Yichen.
As for those Star Gods not parasitized by the Boundary Breaking core, they have no chance of staying out of it. Will the parasitized Star Gods allow those Star Gods to flee?
Lilith’s overall observation captured scenes of star bodies being fragmented by numerous Star Gods.
Clearly, those Star Gods that became Boundary Breaking cores will not allow the other normal Star Gods to escape.
Any normal Star God attempting to flee will merely become nourishment to strengthen those Star Gods, and as for the consequence of direct consumption, well... It seems these Star Gods aren’t planning to consider the consequences for survival.
Or perhaps a little consumption won’t cause too many issues?
Regardless, these Star Gods are currently very united.
Lilith suggested that Zheng Yichen could try to win over those Star Gods not affected, utilizing their power to more efficiently eradicate the remaining Star Gods.
Zheng Yichen didn’t agree. What he wanted was the death of all Star Gods, not stopping halfway through the battle. He had no favorable impression of these inhuman Star Gods.
Zheng Yichen had no intention of collaborating with any of the Star Gods, not even in a deceptive collaboration.
Instead, he had a bolder idea. Given the chance, Zheng Yichen would try to directly reach the "Chaos" at the world’s foundation.
To touch that special "earth," if Earth Devouring could take effect, he aimed to recreate the cross-great domain attack seen in the Great World!
