Chapter 2128: Chapter 1689: I Have Ghost Stacks Too

"The Star Forger used this array and summoned a Stacked Ghost. If that’s the case, then the problem is substantial," Anthony said.

"How substantial?" Negris asked in confusion.

Anthony replied, "We’ve always known that Exotic Ghosts are weapons manufactured to attack the God Stars. If this Star Forger can create a Stacked Ghost, then the creator of the Exotic Ghost must be related to them even if they’re not directly part of them."

While pondering, Ursman asked, "They are Star Descendants, what benefit do they gain from destroying God Stars?"

Anthony immediately echoed, "Exactly, they are Star Descendants. What do they gain from destroying God Stars? Moreover, God Stars are so distant that even if there was a benefit, they wouldn’t be able to seize it."

Although echoing, his tone seemed more like speaking to himself.

Seeing them like this, the rest wisely kept silent, as these two evidently hit upon something, providing insight and searching for inspiration. In modern terms, it’s known as brainstorming.

Ursman said, "Indeed, even if there’s a benefit, they can’t grab it. So the ones actually wanting to destroy God Stars aren’t them but those who stand to benefit."

Anthony said, "But who benefits? The remains of the Lomorol Main Star are just lying there, nobody wants them nor picks them up. Despite being Incremental Fog, they don’t even want the increment. So what is the benefit?"

Ursman said, "The Lomorol Main Star can’t be taken as an example. Exotic Ghosts dropped fragments there, probably resulting from it and Lomorol’s mutual destruction and departure without the ability to collect spoils."

Anthony asked, "Then what about the God Star intercepting Morania?"

In the Material Cloud, Lania ordered the smaller God Stars to sacrifice themselves, enhancing the strength of the Big God Star. That entity intercepted Morania, intending to devour it.

Such characters, as they die in a few Chapters, aren’t bothersome to name, so Anthony simply referred to it as ’the God Star intercepting Morania.’

Ursman still shook his head, "That God Star wasn’t killed by the Stacked Ghost but rather exploded with my World-Ending Magic Formation."

Anthony nodding, said, "Then there’s only one left, Cold Star Loswein."

Only Cold Star Loswein was eliminated by Ange using Ghost Folding, and only the Star Soul was sealed, leaving its body intact.

However, with the collapse of this branch, Loswein’s body couldn’t be retrieved in time and is likely devoured by Lania now.

Ursman said, "Lord’s Ghost Folding only seals the Star Soul, leaving the body intact. Due to our proximity, we could promptly retrieve his body; otherwise, it collapses, meaning the Exotic Ghost’s attack can’t retrieve the body, it only captures the Star Soul."

Anthony said, "So this Star Forger isn’t the owner of the Exotic Ghost, but they must have some relation to the Exotic Ghost. What kind of relationship remains unknown?"

Negris scratched his head, saying, "With so much speculation, why not just capture them and ask directly?"

Anthony laughed, saying, "Of course, we’ll ask, but deducing the entire event from minimal clues is an activity favored by us high intelligence folks—a real sense of achievement. You wouldn’t understand if told."

Negris paused, "Are you mocking me? Are you mocking me? You damn Godman."

While they’re chatting, the Star Forger was bewildered: What are they doing? Are they ignoring me? Give some reaction, will you? Do you understand Exotic Ghosts? Exotic Ghosts?

Having painstakingly completed the Ghost Array successfully summoning the Exotic Ghost, yet these people had the leisure to point and comment. Do they not recognize Exotic Ghosts?

Exotic Ghosts cause silence across the entire Void, forcing numerous God Stars and Time-Space Ancient Dragons to conceal their Divine Light and remain speechless.

Yet these folks showed not a shred of panic unless they don’t recognize Exotic Ghosts. Otherwise, how could they be so calm?

Upon reconsideration, it made sense. Exotic Ghosts target only God Stars, and these individuals are merely Incremental Bodies. Not recognizing Exotic Ghosts is quite normal.

Realizing this, the Star Forger felt a pang of frustration like having spent one’s entire fortune on a luxurious item, only to have others fail to recognize it when flaunted.

He had never successfully executed this Ghost Summoning Array before; today, under the threat to his life, he suddenly unleashed his potential and completed it in one go, feeling immensely accomplished.

Yet, the summoned Exotic Ghost was unrecognized by others—such a painful disparity when boasting to the blind!

Oh well, if they don’t understand, they won’t. Once they are annihilated, their souls should understand.

The Star Forger pointed at the Monarch and shouted, "Destroy him."

The Incremental Body before him was extremely resilient, untouched despite prolonged pounding. However, it mattered not, as Exotic Ghosts targeted souls; physical toughness was meaningless.

Even God Stars couldn’t resist Exotic Ghost attacks on their Star Souls, and the soul of an Incremental Body couldn’t possibly withstand it; without a soul, an Incremental Body was merely a mass of increment.

A shadow crashed into the Monarch, virtually akin to flashing; except Ange, others couldn’t see the ghost’s form, only felt a flash as the Monarch was struck.

Based on previous deductions by Anthony and others, Exotic Ghost attacks originate from near the Rui Plate, striking targets across vast branches—speed is evident. Being invisible from visual distance is quite normal.

However, the Stacked Ghost didn’t pass through but collided with the Monarch, shattering instantly with a boom.

"Wha...what happened?" The Star Forger was dumbfounded by the scene. What was the situation here?

After being hit by an Exotic Ghost, isn’t it the ghost that exits the body, causing the target’s consciousness to vanish? Now, why is it the Exotic Ghost that shattered?

The Monarch, smiling, spread his hands, "Ghost Stacks, I have them too."

With his words, a shadow emerged slowly from him, integrating with his skeleton like a dark fog enveloping the structure, radiating a deathly aura.

But the Star Forger immediately realized that wasn’t a deathly aura—it was a ghost’s shadow. How did he possess a ghost, able to attach it to himself? This application far exceeded the Star Forger’s understanding.

The Monarch, looking at the dazed Star Forger, said calmly, "Got any other tactics? If not, it’s my turn now."

As he spoke, he lightly wielded his Death Scythe, and a massive scythe shadow traversed the distance between them and flashed across the Star Forger.
