Chapter 2107: Chapter 1668: Can’t Get Up, Need Some News to Break the Boredom

A massive chain shot out from Lania’s body in an instant, tightly binding the newly arrived God Star—Star Soul Chain.

The newcomer God Star was somewhat bewildered, exclaiming in shock: "Lord Lania, what are you doing?"

Lania casually replied: "Borrowing your increment for a moment."

As soon as the words were spoken, the chain tightened instantaneously, rapidly retracting, directly pulling out the Star Soul of the other God Star.

The other had no ability to resist; this new God Star’s mass was roughly fifty times that of the Little Fireman, but to Lania, it was as trivial as a firefly next to a bonfire.

The chain pulled the Star Soul into Lania’s body, and the God Star body of the other lost its Star Soul, its structure immediately collapsing and beginning to disperse.

The light on Lania’s body suddenly dimmed, and the gravity on his body rapidly increased—Gravity Cage.

The suddenly enhanced gravity constructed the cage, like an invisible big hand, slowly pulling and deforming the God Star, stretching it from a sphere into an oval, then pulling it into a long strip, and finally into a line. This line fell into Lania’s body, converging into a massive vortex.

A God Star of fifty times the usual size was effortlessly dealt with by Lania in just two moves, leaving Anthony and others staring in awe, their minds in shock.

"This...this...is this a skill? Did he hide so many skills?" Negris exclaimed in shock.

What is called skill is actually the combination of various individual techniques.

For example, the Star Soul Chain must have a powerful Star Soul, along with the ability to manifest thoughts into chains, and the capability to consciously cage the soul. When these three combine, it becomes the Star Soul Chain, and the principle is not complex at all.

After combining and practicing, it forms a subconscious reaction. When all three come together, it becomes a skill.

Similarly, the Golden Skeleton’s King’s Arrival initially requires a powerful soul that can communicate with nearby unowned remains, then use soul guidance to animate them, plus the ability to multitask, otherwise, a pile of unowned skeletons would simply crash together.

As long as these are achieved, the principle of a skill is not complex.

Lania possesses a strong Star Soul and also powerful gravity; the new God Star was killed by him, as easily as a chick.

Anthony said with lingering fear: "Luckily, Your Majesty wasn’t deceived earlier, otherwise, floating to the God Star’s surface might have been caught by his chain, this guy is so conniving, to think he hid a trick. Fortunately, Your Majesty saw through his disguise, Your Majesty is mighty."

The Monarch scratched his head, doubting: Did I really see through her disguise? I guess I did? Maybe I felt something was off, that’s why I wasn’t deceived, definitely not because I was relying on my ability to revive to go down together, absolutely not.

Ursman said: "I didn’t expect Lania to hide so deeply, suddenly showing two skills, and seamlessly linking them. It seems we underestimated the God Stars before."

It’s no wonder they overlooked the God Stars. After coming to the outer world, all the God Stars encountered, only Morania, Kelanis, and Dis had some attack methods; the others relied on their mass, maybe tossing out some Star Flames, but their energy levels and destructive power didn’t match at all.

Lania’s method of constructing chains with Star Soul and directly restraining the opponent’s Star Soul—such soul-level skills have never been used by other God Stars.

If earlier, the Monarch had dared to leave the Star Flame using the Gate of No Boundary to flee, he might not have escaped the restraint of the Star Soul Chain, let alone leaving the Star Flame; even reaching the surface of the God Star might have resulted in being caught.

It turns out Lania’s display of compromise was just a lure for the Monarch to ascend; if not for Anthony throwing out the bait of prolonging life, Lania probably wouldn’t have revealed his cards.

Now, Lania no longer wants to bind the Monarch’s soul, only to extend his own life, summoning a subordinate and swallowing up instantly.

This powerful Star Soul, under Lania’s Star Soul Chain, wasn’t able to resist at all, transforming increment into a vortex, always ready for the Monarch’s extraction.

The Monarch floated to a safe distance, guiding the increment into his body, and after absorbing it fully, began to dive, utilizing the immense pressure of the God Star to refine his body while diving.

Having experience once, within ten short years, the Monarch successfully re-forged Shattering Stars, achieving virtualization.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, whether it was Lania or Anthony and the others.

Negris said: "Finally succeeded, ten years now; the Old Immortal took just a few months to virtualize the first time, yet this time it took ten years, how slow."

Anthony commented: "Your Majesty only needed to shatter a skeleton less than two meters tall the first time; now what needs shattering is a four-thousand-meter-high skeleton; the required fragmentation is different, ten years is already very quick."

"Indeed, luckily it succeeded, otherwise Lania would have grown impatient." Negris said with relief.

During these ten years, Lania summoned two more Little God Stars, conducted the same soul restraining and increment stealing, swallowing massive amounts of increment.

This was done within the first two years, and starting from the third year, Silver Coin reported receiving messages that Lania was killing God Stars to seize increment.

Since then, Lania has been unable to successfully summon any other God Stars.

It was also during this time that Kelanis stopped searching for the Sixth Divine Star and Ghost Guides; instead, she hid away, and without relying on Silver Coin and Ossia, Anthony and the others couldn’t find her at all.

At that time, the Nether River Council held several consecutive agendas, all about how to deal with Lania’s plundering of the branch God Stars.

The dignified Branch Lord, all for the increment of a few God Stars, turned himself into a common enemy of the branch. If now the Monarch reversed his decision and said he wouldn’t do it, it would absolutely infuriate him to explode on the spot.

Being able to virtualize now also meant the task of prolonging life could continue, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The Monarch began transporting increment, and Negris and others were discussing: "How did Lania killing God Stars get leaked out? Clearly restrained souls, information shouldn’t be transferable."

"That’s quite simple, setting up something similar to soul fire or Life Box in other places—once a God Star dies, they know immediately." Anthony said.

Ursman added: "Besides, God Stars not only have God Stars; they also have a bunch of Star Descendants and other affiliated races. Their Star Descendants were idling elsewhere, suddenly vanished, investigating back finds they were summoned by Lania. When this pattern repeats for three times, the sudden disappearance of Star Descendants alerts everyone to a problem."

Negris muttered: "Looks like exposure is certain. He is taking an enormous risk, desperately wanting to extend his lifespan to the point of insanity."

Realizing this, everyone immediately felt that the cards in their hands were thicker, and after two more transports, the Monarch suddenly collapsed in place, shouting loudly: "I can’t go on, I’m exhausted, I can’t get up, I need to hear some entertaining news to have the strength to keep transporting."
