Looking at the door handle retreating into the Barrier of the Gate of No Boundary, Negris, who was almost bursting from holding it in, anxiously asked, "What on earth are you all up to? Not letting me participate and forbidding me to ask questions, it's driving me crazy."
Anthony, keeping others out of this matter with the door handle, especially Negris, was clearly worried that its big mouth would ask too many questions and mess up his plans.
But not letting it participate, yet not having time to explain, resulted in Negris having many questions bottled up inside, almost causing internal damage. Now letting the other party go all of a sudden, what on earth are they up to?
Anthony quickly appeased with, "No rush, no rush, there's time now, Lord Nage, take your time to ask, and I'll answer one by one."
"Why did you let it go back?" Negris asked, puzzled.
"We need information about the Dragon God; it's the only bridge that can communicate with the outside world. Letting it go back is akin to planting an informant outside," Anthony replied.
"But how do we manipulate it? Don't tell me about the Goddess of Beauty Fist; the consciousness imprint can't extend that far, the outside world is too far away from us, and once the soul contact is interrupted, won't it explode?" This puzzled Negris the most.
Though the Goddess of Beauty Fist can imprint in such a form, soul contact has a distance limit; the Monarch didn't want subjects for fear of their souls disintegrating once they went too far.
Outside of the Gate of No Boundary certainly exceeds the distance of the Soul Network, making it impossible to control; either its soul would disintegrate as soon as it leaves.
But if that's the case, why would Anthony spend so much effort to coax it?
Anthony shrugged, "I don't know about that, I'm not the expert, you have to ask the master."
Negris looked at Ange.
Ange scratched his head, troubled, and said, "White Crystal, Ancient Man Snake."
Negris hesitantly asked, "Are you using the method like Ancient Man Snake, imprinting a kind of prohibition on it, and when a certain name is called it disintegrates?"
Ange let out a long breath, nodding quickly, fortunately Negris understood, otherwise he wouldn't know how to explain.
However, Negris asked understandably, "If it's the Ancient Man Snake prohibition, how do you let it know that it's being controlled?"
The Star Descendants don't need to know they've been subject to prohibition, but the door handle does; otherwise, how could it behave so obediently? Soul contact must be established for it to sense, then it'll comply.
Ange said, "Soul contact, yes."
"Are you imprinting loyalty?" Negris hesitated to ask.
It's seldom used, so everyone almost forgets apart from the Soul Oath, there's also a loyalty oath, which can establish soul contact without causing a disintegration upon contact interruption.
However, the loyalty oath has no coercive power, it only ensures the party remains loyal, but encountering someone like Anthony who might use loyalty to deceive you...
Ange shook his head, "Soul Brand, it goes in, I cut off."
"Ha, so it's manual operation, once it goes in, you cut off the soul contact, then it thinks the distance is too far and can't sense the soul contact?" Negris nearly coughed up blood.
Ange nodded.
"Alright, I have no more questions." Negris sighed in relief, only asking what it understood, leaving the rest alone as it didn't understand.
Negris stepped aside, while Ursman approached, "How did you and the master manage to capture it? It says it's a Divine Star, how come you caught it so easily? Even imprint on it? How was that done?"
Anthony smiled, "If it stayed in the door handle, no one could catch it. Luckily, it gave me an airship, and that airship was too weird. Durken, come explain this."
Durken froze for a moment, muttering, "Turns out you asked me so carefully about the airship for this. Good heavens, you were planning this pitfall from that point? But I didn't say much, just mentioned something abnormal."
After muttering, Durken said, "The energy ratio of that airship is abnormal, too high. But making a miniature spatial form, supporting an overlapped space might require more energy, which is normal. However, there are many kinds of overlapped space, and an airship doesn't usually need so much energy, abnormal."
Negris couldn't help but exclaim, "Just because of that word 'abnormal', you laid such a big trap? Also made Ange back up the memory for you? Quite risky, aren't you?"
"Heh," Anthony rarely showed sharpness, "Taking a bit of risk, there's a chance to capture a Divine Star Will, a mature Divine Star Will, unlike the Old Star kind, is it worth the risk?"
Everyone was fooled by Anthony's old God Stick demeanor, forgetting he's the Dark Knight Emperor. What's risking? Back during the ambush at the Teleportation Array, he killed the opponent while wounded, if not for Ange saving him, he'd be dead.
Risking was his true nature, the old God Stick was just a disguise.
However, thinking about taking a tiny risk to capture a Divine Star Will, others couldn't help but feel excited.
Anthony continued, "If he wants to capture me, he must leave via the Gate of No Boundary. He deliberately gave me an abnormal airship, planning to use it against me? No matter the way, as long as it leaves the Gate of No Boundary."
Anthony bitterly smiled, "Originally, I thought it would at least imprison my consciousness, yet its airship didn't have such capability. Couldn't even isolate Power of Faith, so I summoned Little Angel. The Holy Spirit has a bathing in Divine Light ability, under the Divine Light, the master can readily seize it."
"If it didn't leave the airship, the success rate wasn't high, luckily it left, the master caught it immediately, terribly underestimated us, assuming we're Star Descendants and Gods, it seems to look down on Gods," Anthony concluded.
Ursman nodded repeatedly, finally saying, "I have no questions either."
Negris looked around, seeing no new questions, it asked, "Is there anything else to do?"
Anthony nodded, "Now there's one last thing, verifying the door handle's capability authenticity."
"Ah? Still need to verify this? How to verify?" Negris was puzzled; the door handle returned to the Gate of No Boundary, how to verify?
Anthony said, "Of course it needs verification, even if it's a true Divine Star, we must know if it's of the Old Star level or Gemez Fortress level, we'll verify if Gemez Fortress in the Abyss Core has truly been expelled."
"How to verify?" Now the Abyss Core turned Devouring Abyss, usual attack methods are swallowed by the Abyss instantly, eliciting no reaction.
"We'll have to sacrifice Big Mouth." Anthony regretfully said.
