Chapter 1571 - 1109: No Reinforcements
The legendary Starry Sky Colossus passed down locally and the one Zheng Yichen sees now; the one he sees is the true ’Starry Sky Colossus’.
The massive body is composed of numerous Star Gods; although the body is ’translucent’, Zheng Yichen does not doubt the strength of this Colossus.
Through thermal vision, he sees the most critical part of this Colossus, which is the fissure opening on its forehead.
However, he can only glimpse briefly; in the next moment, a cross flash completely overwhelms Zheng Yichen’s vision.
The intense pressure pounded on Zheng Yichen, and a pillar of light more immense than the Firmament Wheel split upon arrival, cracked by an even stronger Oblivion.
The heart-core planet brightened entirely.
The Dusk mercenaries here felt immense shock; although in higher worlds, the strength’s manifestation is stronger, the display here had already exceeded conventional understanding.
"Indeed, the destructive power he’s mastered has also strengthened."
The Colossus’s strike did not turn Zheng Yichen into cosmic dust, as the Boundary Breakers atop the Colossus watched the Firmament Wheel slowly appear.
The satellites on the gigantic light wheel became much dimmer, yet as time passed, the dimmed or vanished satellites refilled again.
"He might become your eternal Heart Demon," a Boundary Breaker said to Yue Heng and Yu Heng.
Yu Heng’s expression remained unmoved; the stronger Zheng Yichen performed, the greater the impact on her, that’s feedback both positive and negative.
As long as her Heart Demon doesn’t erupt, she will be in a state of rapid growth.
If the Heart Demon breaks through her tolerance limit, she will truly become demonized.
The accumulated influence from the Demonic Abyss would completely explode out; this is not mere going astray but complete madness.
"Hoo~ The Curse seems to be used a bit early?" Zheng Yichen stared at the distant Starry Sky Colossus, whose gigantic body could slap the heart-core planet to pieces, and Zheng Yichen didn’t doubt that the Colossus could do it.
"Boss, 3,511 star cores have been recovered, all remaining ones destroyed."
"...Made a profit," Zheng Yichen said calmly; in this battle, at least over ten thousand Star Gods perished, but the collected star cores were less than a third.
According to the report, over 80% of these star cores are polluted and require further purification. Fortunately, there are adept purifiers at home.
Plus, the curse and virus were released by them, making cleanup fairly easy.
The unrecovered star cores naturally became cosmic dust.
"377 pieces of information solidification tools have been recovered, parts that couldn’t be recovered have been confirmed destroyed."
Zheng Yichen nodded, the number seemed alright; in battles involving Oblivion, the success rate for information solidification drops significantly.
Leaving behind this many items among tens of thousands of Star Gods is decent.
However, the harvest from these items is still insufficient for Zheng Yichen to deal with that Starry Sky Colossus.
The opposite gathers thousands of Star Gods together, and the star cores in his possession, including the ones recovered, don’t even total ten thousand.
"Boss, continuing to fight further is disadvantageous for us; it’s advisable to rest and recuperate."
"I know." Zheng Yichen stared at the Starry Sky Colossus, special perception through thermal vision revealing a glaring field of ’heat sources’.
This portion of heat sources was not evenly distributed, and the Starry Sky Colossus’s state wasn’t fully stabilized yet.
Now is a good opportunity to deal with this giant, yet the previous battle severely declined his state, with the Starry Sky Colossus’s casual strikes exerting immense pressure on Zheng Yichen.
His considerable reserve power had been entirely depleted.
But fighting against such a behemoth head-on is the most irrational; he isn’t a Saiyan warrior.
"Retreat." Zheng Yichen decisively chose to withdraw.
Seeing Zheng Yichen leaving, the Boundary Breakers with tightly-strained mental states were somewhat disappointed.
They had hoped for Zheng Yichen to recklessly charge once.
But the opponent decisively departed.
Under the capture of the Shadow of the Eye of Heavenly Path, they long discovered some new intel; among the Star Gods solved by Zheng Yichen, some always dropped ’explosive equipment’.
This is a new type of power, somewhat akin to game rules, but they’re not surprised; numerous unique worlds exist, and some peculiar ones are bound to emerge.
The satellite attacks circled on the Firmament Wheel, embodying some Star God power, likely related to that equipment.
Moreover, the star cores Zheng Yichen collected are resources to confront them.
But despite not collecting many star cores, their side still holds the advantage.
Not to mention, maintaining the Starry Sky Colossus’s state and delaying for several months is still possible.
Although this state was initiated a bit early, who could’ve expected Zheng Yichen to conjure such troublesome curses and viruses?
Otherwise, with half a year delay and initiating this state, it could be prolonged for another half year. Even if Zheng Yichen utilizes stronger powers, they can further burn the Star Gods as fuel.
The plan is excellent, but the actual execution faces numerous problematic aspects.
They no longer anticipate delaying Zheng Yichen for one or two years now.
A half-year extension is to submit a report card.
"I need support!" After returning to Dusk Territory, Zheng Yichen immediately found Tia.
"No support," Tia directly demonstrated the ruthless side that represents Dusk.
"You’re asking me to die." Zheng Yichen wanted to roll his eyes. Him fighting such a Starry Sky Colossus? Seriously...
Even if he saw the weak points of the Starry Sky Colossus, weak points are not necessarily truly weak locations.
"That’s your problem."
"...Alright."
Although Tia’s tone didn’t change, Zheng Yichen knew that saying anything else would be useless.
He directly returned to his personal room and took out the Firmament Wheel.
The newly acquired Firmament Wheel was already damaged, but these damages could be quickly repaired, thanks to its inherent self-repair mechanism and the activated repair effect from Lilith’s Heart of the Machine.
In the virtual space, Zheng Yichen looked at the new modification plan provided by Lilith.
The collected information solidification products had been fully analyzed, and Lilith had incorporated them according to their effects into the Firmament Wheel.
Among these information solidification products, some were related to the Black Star God, carrying a kind of willpower interference resembling reality interference power.
This could generate a foreign realm, similar to the inner Heaven and Earth’s mental image, but with a more substantive interference effect.
In general, it was akin to a Divine Domain, but the model was more akin to ’My World’.
This foreign realm could complement the Illusory Eye, directly becoming the exterior shell of the Illusory Eye’s mental manifestation product.
Zheng Yichen had a large amount of illusory crystals, and Lilith had merged part of these tools with the illusory crystals to enhance related performance.
Among the obtained Star Cores, nearly 300 were from the Black Star God.
Those Star Cores were more fragile and unstable, so few were preserved, and they couldn’t be used as normal Star Cores.
But they still possessed strong energy that could be used to support the information solidification tools acquired from the Black Star God.
"I’ll rest for a while first." After reading the report, Zheng Yichen lay directly on the sofa, slightly squinting his eyes.
The accumulated Oath Power was completely depleted, and half of the Essence of Life was expended, but the consumption from two shots of the high-compression Demonic Abyss Seven Kills was not too much for him.
That kind of attack, in this world, with his full-state condition, he could at least unleash twenty shots.
Although his own blue bar wasn’t enough to unleash twenty shots of Demonic Abyss Seven Kills, he had a lot of blood, directly converting life into power.
With an extremely high life Performance Coefficient and Essence of Life, he could steadily unleash twenty shots of equal spec attacks.
However, the strike against the Starry Sky Colossus had cost Zheng Yichen a large amount of Essence of Life.
Although now he could restore Essence of Life just by breathing, the recovery speed was relatively slow.
It’s not that his Regenerative Ability wasn’t good, it’s just that the quality of the Essence of Life was too high, making recovery slow.
In the environment of this world, to fully restore state without hunting, relying on natural recovery, would take at least a week.
Of course, just restoring parts of the body wouldn’t take that long; injuries like missing limbs can recover just by breathing a few times.
The part that’s slow to recover is the Essence of Life.
’At night,’ Zheng Yichen left his personal room and found that there were significantly fewer people at the Dusk Cathedral.
After some inquiries, he understood the reason.
Zheng Yichen’s previous battle had been too outrageous, although the Dusk Mercenary Group had some trump cards.
But obviously, they wouldn’t use such things here.
Besides, they had obtained enough Star Cores, and the individuals who needed saving had all been saved, so they didn’t plan to participate in the upcoming war.
Best wishes to the Proxy Agents still fighting here...
Zheng Yichen clicked his tongue and returned to his personal room. Virtual Genesis unfolded, and he knew his own strength wouldn’t increase significantly in the short term.
Unless those Star Gods turned into humanoid form for him to chop down.
Since his strength couldn’t be improved quickly, he decided to improve other aspects.
"Boss, I’m ready here." Two Liliths came to Zheng Yichen’s side.
One was Lilith’s original form, and the other was Lilith formed by the World Tree fruit.
"Then let’s begin."
"...Boss, I suggest you fully rest before proceeding with this plan."
Zheng Yichen waved his hand: "We’ll do it as is. I don’t know why the Boundary Breakers are delaying, but the more they delay, the more I need to hurry."
Lilith stopped advising, and a few virtual figures appeared behind her, bearing the built-in space containing Chaotic Sea Water.
What they were executing was the Chaotic Sea Water utilization plan.
Zheng Yichen planned to transform a portion of the collected Chaotic Sea Water into ’water source’.
Normal items struggled to contain Chaotic Sea Water; they were either dissolved by it or affected by it, undergoing other changes.
The Apocalypse Stone itself could be transformed into a star due to the impact of Chaotic Sea Water.
This demonstrates the immense energy of Chaotic Sea Water.
