After listening to Anthony's report, everyone looked at each other, finally, they all looked at Ange simultaneously. This matter was too impactful, far beyond what they could decide. The Time-Space Ancient Dragon was actually hunting those God Stars outside of the Endless Cage?
Ange tilted his head.
With a pause and exchange of glances, Negris asked, "Ange, didn't you sense any information about the Time-Space Ancient Dragon?"
Ange shook his head.
It seemed Ange was just as confused as they were. Negris had no choice but to turn to Anthony and ask, "What should we do now?"
Negris wasn't really asking Anthony what to do but was inquiring about Anthony's plan. After the direct report, if Ange didn't veto him, the plan could be executed.
There's no choice when dealing with a boss like Ange who doesn't care about anything except planting. They could only exert their own initiative; otherwise, they could only follow Ange into farming.
"I want to engrave a Soul Brand on the creature and then release it, striving to contact the Time-Space Ancient Dragon to figure out what's happening over there," Anthony said.
"Good idea. The Dragon God is hunting those God Stars outside? So powerful? How was it done? Are the God Stars outside like the Old Star? If they're all like Gemez Fortress, then to what level must the Dragon God grow? Speaking of which, weren't there two terrifying presences, one being the Dragon God and the other, who?" Negris exclaimed.
Anthony shook his head, "I don't know. According to the door handle's description, it's a shadow; wherever it passes, God Stars are split in two as if struck by a blade."
Ursman immediately said, "That's not right. God Stars wouldn't split in two if struck by a blade. This description is wrong."
God Stars aren't solid spheres but energy spheres composed of Star Flames. If struck by a blade, they would either explode or recombine, not split into two.
Anthony nodded, "I questioned it the same way, but it said the shadow solidified the cross-section, so the God Star split into two, becoming two semicircular energy spheres. Until the solidification of the cross-section dissipates, the two hemispheres would merge into two smaller God Stars; however, the Star Will has already vanished."
Hearing this description, everyone again looked at each other, exchanging glances, even Ange couldn't help but tilt his head.
A shadow dissecting a God Star, eventually splitting it into two God Stars; what kind of thing could do this? Not even the Ancient Man Snake or Gemez Fortress could do it, no wonder the door handle would call it 'something terrifying.'
More terrifying was the fact that the Dragon God was on par with it; what was happening with the Dragon God?
Ange entered the confined space and saw the door handle, reaching out—a Goddess of Beauty Fist.
The door handle's phantom was pulled out. It was a blue God Star phantom. Blue God Star? Do God Stars have blue?
With such doubt, Ange cast a Consciousness Brand onto it, and soon, a brand-new node appeared on the Soul Network.
The door handle looked at Ange in fright, "What did you do to me? What is that thing? What have you branded onto me? What have you done to me?!"
Seeing it about to pounce, Ange thought of a command, and it froze in place.
The door handle resigned itself; it was indeed a Consciousness Brand, something it had only heard of, never experienced. As a God Star, it didn't need to establish Soul Contact with other species, nor did anything possess the posture or qualifications to establish Soul Contact with it.
In the peaceful era of the Void, it had many vassals, such as Star Descendant subspecies, as well as many Planes; the creatures on the Plane would worship and believe in it, treating it as a god.
It basically ignored these, as the Power of Faith was too low-level to be of any use to it.
Power of Faith would requite a soul or consciousness brand, necessitating the establishment of a Faith Elemental Force network to completely control subordinate power.
It doesn't need that; those Star Descendants bathe in Divine Light and are born. With a thought, it could annihilate all Star Descendants. These beings wouldn't dare to defy its orders.
As for the creatures on the Plane, any Star Descendant could eliminate them, so it wouldn't care, akin to humans not caring about ant networks.
Unexpectedly, this brand comparable to restraints between ants was engraved onto its consciousness.
The feeling of one's body being out of control was clear. It had never faced such a butcher-ready situation. Even the terrifying shadow never made it this fearful. What to do? What to do?
The door handle took a long time to accept its current plight, calming down from its hysteria. Only then did Ange release his control over it.
"Alright, alright, it's just a Consciousness Brand, creating a fuss over nothing, so ignorant," Anthony seemed deliberately intent on tormenting it, smirking as he spoke.
"Is there... any way to undo it?" asked the door handle dejectedly.
"Of course there's a way, but why should I undo it for you?" Anthony asked casually.
"I... I..." the door handle stammered for a while, unable to come up with any reason for the other party to undo the Consciousness Brand. If it were in its place, being able to establish a Consciousness Brand with a God Star, it wouldn't undo it either.
Anthony said leisurely, "However, if you can complete certain tasks, it's not impossible to undo it. For instance, if you return to the Endless Cage's exterior and gather the information we need, I can consider undoing your Consciousness Brand."
The door handle hesitated to look at Anthony. Of course, it wouldn't foolishly believe Anthony's words. Yet the words 'return to the Endless Cage's exterior' still stirred a ripple in its heart.
If Anthony truly released it back, perhaps there might be a turn of events. Consciousness Brands can't exist between two drastically disparate entities. It was the Star Will; if it could return to its body, when it exerted its strength, maybe it could break the brand's restriction.
Anyway, it must seize the opportunity to return to its body. The door handle feigned hesitation and asked, "What information do you want me to gather?"
"Naturally, it's about our enemy, the Time-Space Ancient Dragon, and information about the outside world; next, we want to deal with Gemez Fortress. Do you have any suggestions?" Anthony inquired.
The door handle pondered for a while and said, "Gathering information on the Time-Space Ancient Dragon is very dangerous; I can only try my best. The outside world can't be described in words; it has completely different Laws of the Void than here. The distance between God Stars isn't as far as it is here."
"It's beyond words. If possible, you'd understand by seeing for yourselves. As for Gemez Fortress, unless you're a God Star, you can't contend with it. If you encounter its body, be cautious of its Divine Light pulse," the door handle said.
