Chapter 1550 - 1096: Wanting One
The thought of stirring up trouble is only an idea for now; what’s truly important is breaking through the Star Cluster Defense Line before discussing anything else.
After resting enough, Zheng Yichen first took out some previously prepared items. These were some curse objects that Zheng Yichen had specifically tried out on passing Star Gods, but the results were rather average.
Star Gods inherently possess high resistance, and regular curses have little room to take effect.
Even the sectional entities derived from the Star-devouring Evil Spirit couldn’t succeed in parasitizing and affecting the Star Cluster.
The defense line on the Star Cluster side directly filtered out excess items.
Not only that, Zheng Yichen also noticed many special phenomena over there, where some Star Gods’ surfaces had turned thoroughly black. These Star Gods were not parasitized by Constellation Resonance.
However, they exhibited another form and joined the Star Cluster Defense Line. Getting close to that line, Zheng Yichen noticed something unusual.
Willpower interference had its effects on reality disrupted; the closer he came to the Star Cluster Defense Line, the stronger the interference grew. Moreover, Zheng Yichen could sense a reverse willpower interference effect.
It was an interference driven by unwillingness, fear, and madness, possessing a strong infectious power. Any being lacking firm willpower, once influenced by this interference, could be assimilated into another type of entity by the Black Star God.
This interference caused the consumption of willpower when used by Zheng Yichen to multiply several times.
Further advancing inward would add more to the consumption, but how much more, Zheng Yichen couldn’t determine. He hadn’t attempted to break in yet.
"He can’t come in." Observing Zheng Yichen pacing outside the Star Cluster Defense Line, a Boundary Breaker chuckled smugly; although ideally, they would kill Zheng Yichen.
Yet, with Zheng Yichen being intercepted outside, it counted as a prime result too.
The Nightmare Transformation of the Star Gods had a greater effect than expected.
Not only suppressing Zheng Yichen’s willpower interference, but the Sun God Power also introduced new variations to the Nightmare Transformation, doubling the impact of the Nightmare Star God’s willpower interference.
It even triggered a chain variation; creatures influenced by the Star God Power would be assimilated; the Nightmare Star God’s power similarly possesses assimilation capabilities.
Those assimilated creatures effectively undertake a secondary Nightmare Transformation, becoming new radiation sources.
The Boundary Breakers responsible for research immediately recorded this information. It was a new discovery that could lead the Great World’s side to develop a new Boundary Breaking core.
As for samples of the Star Gods, handling them was simple enough, just need to collect some Star Cores to bring back.
Boundary Breakers were conversing among themselves as were the Star Gods, upon confirming Zheng Yichen truly couldn’t get in, the Star Gods breathed a sigh of relief.
Moreover, they gained new confidence in the current Star Cluster Defense Line; as for those Star Gods transformed into nightmares, it was inconsequential. They hadn’t been parasitized by the Constellation Resonance and were different from them.
More importantly, some Star Gods who accepted the Nightmare Transformation played more critical roles, such that any newly arriving Star God shouldn’t even think of running.
Star Gods without the Constellation Resonance should meekly accept the transformation.
"Are they... being so ruthless to their own kind?" After confirming he couldn’t break through the Star Cluster Defense Line in the short term, Zheng Yichen gave up his plans of breaking through head-on and sought a new method for breaching the defense.
As for the high-consumption breakthrough, he wasn’t inclined to go for it, clearly a straightforward conspiracy by the enemy, doing that foolishly would risk a major failure in this World.
Furthermore, the Nightmare Star Gods, although currently unreachable directly to those Star Gods’ star bodies, still allowed Zheng Yichen to glean much intelligence from remote observation.
After all, he maintained a direct willpower interference conflict with the Nightmare Star Gods, more clearly perceiving their state.
Moreover, with his extraordinary mental perception, Zheng Yichen had acquired ample intelligence and could first determine that the emergence of Nightmare Star Gods was definitely not some voluntary act by some Star Gods.
This was beyond doubt, as previously some Star Gods had tried to escape the Star Cluster Defense Line; the appearance of the Nightmare Star Gods offered plentiful related information.
In this World, the Star Cluster had started ’self-cannibalization,’ or to expel ’out-of-sync’ Star Gods.
Nightmare Star Gods emerged as a product of their actions, clearly a new technology developed by Boundary Breakers.
"Boss, if they are not stopped, the number of such Black Star Gods will eventually surpass thirty thousand."
"I’m troubled here," Zheng Yichen rubbed his forehead; Lilith’s estimation was not exaggerated.
Since the Star Gods affected by Constellation Resonance had begun striking, those unaffected Star Gods would each individually have nowhere to run.
Either perishing by Zheng Yichen’s hand or forcibly transformed into Black Star Gods, the negative power these Black Star Gods emanated was simply too potent.
Strong enough that a little effort could sway this thing into rebellion, but would the Boundary Breakers willingly give these Black Star Gods a chance to ’revolt’?
After trying for a while, Zheng Yichen consumed a great deal of energy, shooting a beam of Black Light into the star body of a Black Star God.
Then the surface of this Black Star God underwent intense changes, the nightmare’s willpower interference lost control affecting the surroundings, generating an environment that wasn’t aligned with normal phenomena.
Uh... specifically speaking, it was akin to something like an ’Inherent Barrier,’ which was also considered a kind of phenomenon, with many types already, generating new ones was normal.
The out-of-control Nightmare Star Gods produced new phenomena, making Zheng Yichen somewhat twitchy; he became intrigued by this method of generating phenomena.
Frankly speaking, he desired it.
Unfortunately, the Star God in star body status killed by Zheng Yichen provided little substantial feedback unless they abandoned the star body form and maintained a humanoid state.
Only being killed like this by Zheng Yichen allowed for the opportunity to acquire corresponding traits.
A method needs to be devised to fish up a Nightmare Star God, forcibly turning it into a humanoid form.
The Nightmare Star God influenced by Zheng Yichen’s Black Light had its chance to affect accordingly after generating Alien Domain Phenomenon but was quickly controlled by nearby Star Gods, then thrown into the depths of the Star Cluster Defense Line.
Apparently sent to a place Zheng Yichen couldn’t observe.
Zheng Yichen slightly grinned, "Did I just deliver them experimental material?"
The suspicion of this was substantial, otherwise, those Star Cluster entities wouldn’t have employed more laborious methods to carry off the Black Star God; although their Star Cluster Defense Line had high intensity, with abnormalities emerging, they could completely gather their focus using the Star Fluctuation Cannon to instantly obliterate the target...
