Chapter 2119: Chapter 1680: Also from the Lania Branch Road

Virtualization has been flying for over a month, and everyone noticed the increasing amount of material around them—extinguished God Stars, Abyss Cores, corpses of Exotic Beasts and Ancient Gods—and all sorts of odd and bizarre things. It felt like they had arrived at a landfill that collects all void items.

Things were getting too dense, worried they might accidentally bump into something, Ange removed the virtualization state and transformed into a Giant Skeleton, charging through various materials.

Negris commented, "There really is everything here, isn’t that an airship? Is that a rooftop tile? Is that a corpse? So many skeletons here, what is this place exactly?"

Anthony turned to the Dimensional Beast and asked, "Big Cat, are you sure this is the Void Pillar?"

The Dimensional Beast raised its large paw, pointed forward, and let out a series of howls.

Negris translated, "This is the outer area of the Void Pillar, move forward and you’ll reach the Void Pillar. I can’t go in; you need a God Star to bring us inside."

A puzzled Anthony asked, "Why do you need a God Star to take us in? It’s empty here, there’s nothing at all."

The Dimensional Beast said, "Just move forward and you’ll understand. There’s an energy fault there, a continuous energy fault lasting dozens of nodes, capable of exhausting all creatures’ power. Without a God Star, no one can cross that fault."

"Is there any danger in that energy fault? Anything we need to be aware of?" Anthony asked.

The Dimension Beast shook its head, "I don’t know, I’ve only been here once, other beasts came along too, and it died, so I fled."

Anthony asked, "Have you encountered any other creatures here? Are there any natives? I want to catch one to ask something."

The Dimensional Beast replied, "No, I haven’t encountered any."

Ursman, who was fiddling with a randomly picked up creature’s corpse, said, "This thing has probably been dead for countless years; it hasn’t decomposed or petrified, it’s perfectly preserved. The environment here isn’t particularly harsh; it’s quite likely that some unknown creatures live here, everyone should keep an eye out."

Ange pointed ahead and said, "There, there, there are some."

Negris said in shock, "You mean there, there, and there are all creatures?"

Ange nodded.

"Why didn’t you say it earlier? How far are they?" Negris hurriedly asked.

Angus scratched his head and said blankly, "Small, no threat."

Ange is now primarily dealing with God-level enemies, those small, non-threatening targets have been habitually filtered out by him. If it weren’t for this conversation, Ange might not even notice those tiny things.

Just then, over a hundred Star Descendants suddenly star-shifted to their sides, surrounding them, with more than thirty fiercely throwing chains condensed from their own forms, firmly locking the Dimensional Big Cat and Ange.

Ange remained still, fearing that the chains would break with any movement, while the Dimensional Beast struggled vigorously.

One of the Star Descendants shouted, "He discovered us, act now."

The remaining Star Descendants surged forward. Since Ange didn’t move, most of them went for the Big Cat, two extended their limbs, rapidly vibrating towards the Big Cat, creating a ripple that enveloped its body.

"Huh, spatial breaking? It recognizes the Big Cat?" Negris said in surprise.

Spatial breaking is a signature skill of the Dimension Beast, previously Big Cat’s jaw alone could render all Spatial Magic, scrolls, ornaments, and teleportation arrays ineffective.

But spatial breaking is also the best way to restrain the Dimension Beast, otherwise these chains wouldn’t hold it, and Big Cat could escape with a dimension jump.

The Monarch excitedly shouted, "Don’t move, let me handle this."

Oh god, for over three months, do you know how the Monarch has been surviving those months? He has been lying dormant on the Dimension Big Cat’s body every day, not encountering any living soul, let alone chopping anyone, feeling like he would grow mold and mushrooms.

Anthony hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty, please wait, I have questions to ask them."

The Monarch reluctantly stopped, "Damn, you godmen always dilly-dally, ask away and tell me once you’re done."

Anthony turned to the Star Descendant that shouted "He discovered us" and asked, "Who are you? Why are you attacking us, are you seeking death? Do you know who we are?"

Sapient creatures are only capable of bullying the weak, as those who could bully the strong have long been extinct. If the enemy appears very fierce, either they have backing, or they have some trump card.

The firmer Anthony appeared, the more apprehensive they would be, trying to figure out why Anthony seemed so fierce?

"Who are you?" the leading Star Descendant asked loudly.

Anthony replied, "We are the Exploration Corps sent by Keranis, chief Attached Star under the Lord of Lania Branch Road. Who are you to dare attack us!"

In foreign lands, identities are self-assigned. The most powerful being they know now is Lania, posing as his underlings is naturally most fitting.

The Star Descendants exchanged glances; although they didn’t know who the Lord of Lania Branch Road was, they understood the significance of ’Branch Lord’ and ’Chief Attached Star’. These beings are the top-tier existence in the branch, sending an exploration corps here?

The leading Star Descendant hesitated for a while, suddenly changed expression, and shouted sternly, "You’re lying, the entire Lord of Lania and Attached Stars are hiding in the Mist Vortex; how could they send an exploration corps? Who are you really?"

Ah, they know the Material Cloud? It’s called Mist Vortex?

Anthony laughed, "Looks like you aren’t aware of what happened with Lania Branch Road, your perception is too weak to even know about this void catastrophe. Scram, I have no interest in dealing with you."

The leading Star Descendant was stunned for quite a while, its response made Anthony guess that there is someone backing it, clearly listening to instructions from behind.

After some time, the leading Star Descendant said, "Of course I know what happened with Lania Branch Road; I just don’t know your identity and purpose here."

Anthony sneered, "You claim to know what happened with Lania Branch Road but not my purpose here? You’re the one lying, ask whoever’s backing you to come out. Don’t make us wait forever during each conversation."

The other party tried to probe him with language, but does Anthony fear such linguistic probing?

The Star Descendant across paused briefly, then fell into silence again.

Negris couldn’t help but say, "Is this guy stupid? Such slow response? If we were bluffing, wouldn’t his reaction make it clear he has a backer?"

Even Negris disdainfully criticized it, illustrating how obvious the opponent’s reaction was.

After some time, unsure if it had communicated well with those behind it, one Concrete Star shifted to the front of Ange and the others, Anthony said in surprise, "A Concrete one? It’s also from Lania Branch Road?"
