"Is it lightning? What principle is it? Does the Star Power stand up like hair when electrified, making it easier to break defenses?" Negris asked in confusion.
Ange nodded.
"Pfft... What do you mean by nodding? Did I guess right? Does the Star Power really stand up when electrocuted? I was just joking." Negris could translate Ange's words, but even he found it so absurd that he preferred to doubt himself and not believe Ange meant that.
Ange said, "Star Flame Lightning, destruction, arrangement, not tight."
Although not as simple as Negris put it, the principle is the same, not incorrect.
Star Flame Lightning invades the Star Power, disrupting their arrangement, thus lowering defensive power.
Sometimes, you must admit that luck can change the course of history. Star Flame Lightning is merely a byproduct of Holy Light Flash, not even released by Little Angel, but an ionization phenomenon produced when Star Flame Flash moves in the Void. Without this phenomenon, it wouldn't affect the power of Star Flame Flash.
Who would have thought this lightning would have such a rare weakening effect on Star Power?
Although it cannot completely eliminate defense, just weakening it by twenty to thirty percent makes a big difference between breaking through defense and failing to do so.
All three skeleton heads were smashed, souls extracted, soul search conducted.
But there was no memory in the souls, as Ange had anticipated. These skeletons clearly housed souls without intelligence, controlled by Gemez Fortress's projected thoughts, but managing seven bodies at once was a bit overwhelming, causing a delay in reaction.
Once Ange smashed their heads, Gemez Fortress's thoughts retreated, leaving only the skeleton's own souls, appearing dumb and daring to glare at Ange without self-awareness.
If they had any, they would have dissipated like the giant spider souls.
Finding no useful information, Ange crushed the souls and tossed them to the Monarch and Little Zombie.
After seeing Ange finish handling the situation, Anthony said, "It seems the Devouring Abyss environment is perfectly suited to counter the Master of Stars; in the future, we can lure them here when encountering such opponents."
"No, we need to add Destruction Balls too. With just the Devouring Abyss environment, they could still use Star Shifting to escape," Negris said.
Anthony nodded, saying, "Once we bring Big Mouth in, we can completely control the Abyss Core, and turn the Destruction Balls on and off at will."
"Can we beat them? They still have three skeletons and one zombie, plus King Fei Lie, totaling five Masters of Stars, while we only have four. With no environmental constraints outside, can we take them on?" Negris asked worriedly.
Recalling the battle experiences in the Void with King Fei Lie and the Star Zombies, Anthony's teeth ached; whether they could win or not wasn't the question—it was about how long it would take to determine the outcome.
Without environmental constraints, battles between Masters of Stars are protracted; both sides' defensive power is too high. If an incremental loop is formed, they can't even engage in a war of attrition, as they're recovering faster than they're expending.
However, only the Monarch and King Fei Lie completed the incremental loop; the others, including Gemez Fortress, did not. Their power is projected, and neither Ange nor Little Zombie have reached an incremental loop either.
Little Angel is not an Incremental Body, so she's the easiest to exhaust, but the God Star isn't very far from here; she can recharge under its light.
If near the God Star, Little Angel would actually have home court advantage; unfortunately, no Divine Light reaches here.
In the normal environment of the Void, Ange's side is at a numerical disadvantage, but...
"But we don't need to win; we need to get out first and let Big Mouth attack us; as long as Big Mouth comes in, we'll be fine," Anthony said.
Everyone understood Anthony's intention; they've often engaged in such staged acts.
After discussing, Ange went over, retrieved the remaining skeletons and heads of the giant spider into the Space-Time Domain, then picked up Anthony and Little Angel, one in each hand, and flew upwards.
Soon, they left the Dark Critical Line, and everyone's vision brightened. The Devouring Abyss environment was extremely harsh, especially for beings of King Ange's level, primarily affecting their perceptive abilities.
It almost affected every sensory method to perceive the outside world, light, waves, thought extensions, etc., all restricted or weakened. Entering here felt like plunging into a pitch-black night.
The impact on King Ange was so substantial, Anthony was virtually blind, relying only on touch.
Luckily, fortune spared Anthony from touching the Star Skeleton's positions, or he would have perished.
Now, leaving the Dark Critical Line, all sensory perceptions returned instantly. Everyone felt like dawn had arrived, suddenly seeing a Star Skeleton ahead.
The Star Skeleton also saw them. Shortly, other skeletons and a headless zombie flew over from all directions.
"They've surrounded us, worried we'll leave through other directions," Negris said.
Anthony said, "They likely haven't figured out how we got in, possibly thinking we entered from another direction, hence blocking all other directions, but what if we leave by Airship?"
"Can we do that? Isn't the Boundary Migration Airship unable to come in? They likely know there's no other way to leave the Devouring Abyss, which is why they've surrounded us," Negris said.
"That's possible; how we came in has nothing to do with the Boundary Migration Airship, but this method only works one way. We just need to block them as we leave the Dark Critical Line," Anthony said.
While they chatted, King Ange, Little Angel, and Little Zombie were already engaged in battle with three skeletons, one zombie, and King Fei Lie.
In this environment, the true power of those Star Skeletons became apparent; they projected Star Attraction, guiding their bodies to move rapidly through the Void, or coordinated attacks simultaneously using Star Attraction, effectively doubling their force.
Ange, Monarch, and Little Zombie were no exceptions. Star Attraction extended as part of their bodies, battle variations increased, and the pace quickened.
Only Little Angel suffered; with no Star Gravity, she had to handle opponents' dual attacks, appearing somewhat helpless.
Ange faced an issue; his transformation had time limits affecting the rhythm, but once time ran out, he alternated between zombie and skeleton forms, ensuring he retained the combat power of a Master of Stars.
Only Ange's Star Power from his core form could sustain this.
The fight gradually entered a rhythm familiar to both sides, when suddenly, a low buzzing rang out from the distant Void.
Everyone on Ange's side 'turned pale,' and they abandoned their opponents, scrambling away.
A moment later, a giant black pillar surged from afar—Abyss Breath.
