Chapter 1537 - 1085: Request for Reinforcements
"Why is this happening!" The Star Cluster manipulated some ’puppets’, roaring with a tone of anger never seen before.
These ’puppets’ were dominated Boundary Breakers. Although they had already extracted enough information from them, the current experience was still hard for them to accept.
They were the ones being hunted!
They tried to resist Zheng Yichen. Their joint attacks were effective, and they even successfully hit the target, but it didn’t injure Zheng Yichen at all.
Many injuries that would affect others were insignificant to Zheng Yichen, or rather, any wound that couldn’t leave marks on Zheng Yichen for a long time wasn’t considered an injury.
Even a decapitating wound wouldn’t pose any effective damage to him.
The attacks of the Star Gods could indeed harm Zheng Yichen, but those wounds were ineffective until Zheng Yichen’s life force was exhausted.
Only attacks that could directly harm his Origin could leave injuries that wouldn’t heal for a certain period.
Of course, there are no absolutes. For example, if the ineffective damage becomes overwhelming enough to explode Zheng Yichen, activating his serpent’s exuvia, that would be considered effective damage.
One strike couldn’t kill him; multiple hits depleting his life reserve would eventually lead to his death.
But these Star Gods weren’t qualified. Their attacks were useful and useless; weak attacks had no effect on him, while strong attacks could be anticipated by Zheng Yichen.
The main issue was that the attack power was too strong, causing great waves of power, and Zheng Yichen wasn’t blind; he could easily evade in advance.
Under Zheng Yichen’s willpower interference, the Star Cluster’s suppression had little effect on him; he could evade them directly.
The Star Gods felt powerless. Their proud celestial bodies turned into the greatest burden, and even though they were pulling against Zheng Yichen in space, it was only a matter of time before Zheng Yichen caught up to a Star God.
While the Star Cluster vented their anger, several star bodies exploded, with their Star Cores shattered and devoured.
A foreboding shadow surrounded Zheng Yichen. It was the growing Star-devouring Evil Spirit. Zheng Yichen also grew, but his strength was too immense, making his growth less noticeable.
However, the Star-devouring Evil Spirit’s growth rate was exceptionally rapid.
The Evil Spirit carried a powerful curse. Once Star Gods come into contact, their power becomes unstable, with the Star-devouring Evil Spirit greatly restraining them.
Once locked by the Evil Spirit’s malice, its speed continually increased, making the locked Star Gods eventually impossible to escape death.
Of course, this did not mean overly dangerous situations occurred. The Evil Spirit’s speed was its first weak point; even malice lock allowed it to accelerate continuously, ultimately catching up to Star Gods.
But this acceleration wasn’t brief, and the biggest problem was the target moving alongside the Proxy Agent. The Evil Spirit’s initial speed wasn’t fast enough, while the Proxy Agent’s speed was swift.
Then there was the motorcycle that could travel in cosmic environments; its speed was outrageous, typically running at 50 kilometers per second. Although there was a huge gap compared to the Speed of Light.
But at one-six-thousand-six-hundred-and-sixty-sixth of the Speed of Light in space chasing them felt incredibly easy.
With Lilith’s repeated self-optimization, the upgrades brought by the Heart of the Machine, and the energy core enhancements, the speed had significantly increased.
Furthermore, as she continued upgrading herself, the speed would keep increasing.
However, further increasing the speed encountered the problems faced by Qi Xiangyun, leading to decreased accuracy and control. Without considering these two factors, constantly enhancing speed only suited long-distance travel when the destination is determined.
It’s less suitable for combat; overly fast speed makes many attacks straightforward, allowing the enemy to evade perfectly if they anticipated well.
It’s like some people can dodge bullets, cutting bullets, without needing to be faster than the bullet, just faster than the person pulling the trigger.
Therefore, in this battle, Zheng Yichen didn’t activate the motorcycle’s Explosive Speed Mode. This mode could multiply the speed, but would also lead Zheng Yichen to crash into unknown places.
Although speed is power, he didn’t wish to experience this kind of power.
Maintaining the current speed is just right; the extreme speed ability allowed him to exhibit sufficient accuracy at this velocity.
Chasing those Star Gods became far more convenient.
The Star Gods’ roar arose from this reason.
The Boundary Breakers deeply affected by Star God Power trembled, feeling a pressure that seemed to break their souls under the Star Gods’ wrath.
Facing the anger of the Star Gods, they suffered greatly, as their will was influenced by the Star Gods. Even as Boundary Breakers, they actively considered for the Star Gods.
They didn’t know the star plate of the Boundary Breaking core would be like this. If they had known, they wouldn’t have let that thing contact the Star Gods...
"We, we are willing to request aid, contact headquarters, yes, contact headquarters for support; certainly, we can eliminate this Proxy Agent! He is the greatest trouble for headquarters, and headquarters would surely expend substantial resources to eliminate him!"
The Boundary Breakers, influenced by Star Gods’ will, expressed loyalty in a panicked manner.
The Star Cluster discarded these Boundary Breakers: "Then let your people come!"
They did not want this, but at this moment they had to find a way to obtain stronger support.
The Boundary Breakers hurriedly contacted headquarters, they were only influenced by the Star Gods’ strength and willpower, not losing their power and memories. At this moment, they could still normally contact headquarters.
And the contact went quite smoothly.
They contacted headquarters without any hindrance and received a reply. Some flustered Boundary Breakers calmed down; the moment they contacted headquarters, their consciousness was corrected by the influence exerted from headquarters.
Having regained clarity, they still felt a bit dazed at first, but then they realized what the situation was, and their relevant memories were not lost as a result.
"Damn..." One Boundary Breaker couldn’t help but curse, partly because this task was truly too treacherous, with unexpected traps even for them, and partly because these Star Gods were truly despicable.
However, being able to wake up was enough. After waking up and with the information sent by headquarters, they knew what to do next.
In short, these Star Gods were tools used for consumption; this world itself was pre-prepared by the Great World as a ’trap world’. Of course, when used, it was a trap.
When not needed, it was a normal Boundary Breaker’s world; after all, the Star Gods of this world were still quite unique.
Only, the headquarters of the Boundary Breakers from the Great World did not expect the Star Gods to be so ’useless’, or rather, they underestimated Zheng Yichen’s strength and growth speed.
For the headquarters of the Boundary Breakers from the Great World, this world was not suitable for dealing with ’Chang Qing’, but they had no choice in this aspect.
Regarding Dusk, in some aspects, they could only figure out some patterns, guide them, and let Dusk arrange for certain Proxy Agents to go to a certain world.
This kind of operation was not absolute, it could only increase the probability, and generally, this method could only guide Proxy Agents within a certain range to worlds of a higher environment.
The ones in a lower environment? Causing trouble in the lower environment, Dusk directly arranges those Proxy Agents suitable for lower environments, and Dusk certainly does not lack Proxy Agents.
Zheng Yichen’s land swallowing ability is recorded by the Great World, and the Star God’s star bodies also have a ’land’ attribute, so this world was not the ideal world arranged by the Great World for ’Chang Qing’.
But Zheng Yichen had already come here, so considering this was meaningless.
Factors unfavorable to them were considered as fully utilized by Dusk.
They could plot, use Star Gods to buy time, and the Star Gods, being not very human, would in turn use the Boundary Breaking core to try to gain more, and both parties agreed.
As for Dusk, he arranged for Zheng Yichen to come, along with restraints; even if it was just to buy time, it didn’t matter, as Zheng Yichen would definitely complete his task anyway.
Incidentally, it could wipe out the Star Gods completely, and after that, this world wouldn’t have so many unstable elements causing chaos.
The only ones hurt were the Star Gods, but who cared about the Star Gods?
The Great World doesn’t care; Star Gods are just tools for breaking boundaries and delaying time. Zheng Yichen doesn’t care about Star Gods either; he has no goodwill towards them.
Do the native inhabitants care?
A group of native inhabitants dominated by the Star God’s will, their concern is meaningless.
But... the Great World will still provide enough support for these Star Gods.
After all, ’Chang Qing’ has already arrived here, even if Dusk continues to make full use of him, the Boundary Breaking Organization must find a way to keep him here.
And not let him kill off all the Star Gods in this world in a short time.
The Boundary Breaking Organization has assessed ’Chang Qing’; the opponent is no longer the fledgling Proxy Agent he once was, and dealing with Proxy Agents who have retained opportunities is troublesome.
If one cannot kill in one strike, and this time they have other purposes, it becomes more impossible to directly perform ’mechanism kills’ on Proxy Agents in the form of boundary breaking.
While mechanism kills are good, they also help Zheng Yichen quickly escape this world.
After consuming retained opportunities, Zheng Yichen wouldn’t be thrown into a new task again but would return to his own world for a period to ’heal and recuperate’.
The Boundary Breaking Organization is planning to target the Misty City World; how could they allow Zheng Yichen to return so soon?
He must stay here, and the longer he stays, the better!
But the Star Gods suffer from restraints, devoured completely by Zheng Yichen. If the Great World doesn’t arrange some support, whether this world’s Star Cluster can last two months is questionable.
As for the Boundary Breakers contacting headquarters, whether they do or not, the Boundary Breakers headquarters already has corresponding plans.
If contacted, it’s because the Star Gods can’t take the pressure; if not contacted, it means the Star Gods are strong enough, indicating they don’t need fancy extras and continue to maintain their original pride.
Both situations are what the Boundary Breaking Organization wants to see.
Even if the native Star Cluster didn’t contact them through the Boundary Breakers, it would be better, as it means they are strong enough to endure pressure. But these are a group of ’useless’ things!
