The words of the Gemez Fortress had a decisive taste, which for a moment left Anthony stunned. He couldn't help but ask, "Is breaking the cage so important to you?"
A God Star, an invincible presence in the Void, spoke of 'detonating its body' like this.
Ordinary humans have lifespans of hundreds of years, and even long-lived Elves only live over a thousand years. If they die, they die, losing a hundred or so years. However, a God Star is an existence almost as long-lasting as the Void. Would it give up its nearly eternal body just to break the cage?
"Yes." Gemez Fortress said without hesitation.
"Why?" Anthony asked, puzzled.
"The cage has an end." Gemez Fortress said calmly.
Anthony and Negris were somewhat at a loss. "What do you mean? The cage has an end, but what's that got to do with you willing to detonate your body to break it?"
"You ordinary beings wouldn't understand," Gemez Fortress said.
The Monarch suddenly spoke up, "I can understand. Have you reached the energy level limit?"
Gemez Fortress looked at the Monarch in amazement and said, "You also know about the energy level limit? Theoretically, your strength isn't near the level needed to know about the energy level limit."
This guy really lacks tact. The Monarch sneered, "I have the power to kill you."
Afraid they might start fighting, Anthony quickly changed the subject, "So because of the energy level limit, you want to break the cage?"
"There are, of course, other reasons, but if the cage can't be broken, the rest is just empty talk," Gemez Fortress replied.
Anthony thought for a moment and continued to ask, "What impact does the energy level limit have on you? Is it really necessary to break the cage? If you just want to leave the Endless Cage, you could leave through the Gate of No Boundary."
"Why do you think the Gate of No Boundary can allow my body to pass through? If it's just an avatar, once it enters the Gate, it will lose control. If I compress my body to the level that can pass through the Gate, leaving would be tantamount to suicide," Gemez Fortress said.
Anthony understood, "You want to retain your full power to break the cage and leave here?"
"Of course, without retaining strength, after breaking the cage, those Star Movers could easily take my life," Gemez Fortress said.
Anthony and others including Negris all felt a surge of excitement. See, making things up did yield results. The first gain was the name 'Star Mover,' which sounded incredibly powerful.
Anthony frowned and said, "Star Mover? What kind of people? The Door Handle never mentioned these people."
"Maybe it wasn't necessary to discuss them with you. They are the true rulers of the Endless Cage. If I break the cage, they would be the first to not spare me," Gemez Fortress explained.
"Rulers of the Endless Cage? Are those God Stars in the Boundless Space Hole cleaned up by them?" Anthony asked.
Gemez Fortress looked Anthony up and down, "It seems you really know a lot. To build a cage, clearing thousands of God Stars is like blowing out Little Flames to those Star Movers; blow once, and they go out."
When Gemez Fortress said this, there was a bit of a tremor in its voice, perhaps recalling that scene.
The Monarch suddenly interjected, "You've touched the energy level limit, forever just a God Star. Those Star Movers can blow you out at any time. Without breaking the cage, you'll forever be trapped at the God Star level."
Gemez Fortress looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, glaring angrily at the Monarch, "When they blow out a God Star, you guys will all be affected, extinguished into increments."
The Monarch shrugged, not angry at all, listening to an opponent's retort when you've provoked them is like listening to a triumphant symphony.
Anthony hurriedly changed the topic, "Then do you know why they've created such a cage?"
"To imprison a God Star," Gemez Fortress said.
Anthony asked, "Does that make sense? They can clear so many God Stars just to create space to imprison another God Star? Wouldn't it be simpler just to destroy it? Is there something special about the God Star they're imprisoning?"
Gemez Fortress replied, "I'd like to know that too."
It was indeed rare for Gemez Fortress to be so cooperative, answering so many questions. After thinking for a moment, Anthony continued to ask, "Then why do you want to detonate this God Star? Can't other God Stars help you break the cage?"
Gemez Fortress sneered, "Do you really think there are many God Stars here?"
"What do you mean? There are starlights everywhere in the Void, are they not God Stars?" Anthony asked urgently, feeling a jolt in his heart.
"I've searched the entire Void, only this God Star can be touched, the others are all outside the cage," Gemez Fortress explained.
"Only this one?" Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
Although they had already speculated after the Tree People sent by Ange crashed into walls, was it possible that among the vast starry skyscape, there was only one God Star that could be touched? That seems way too few?
"Perhaps there are others, but across the whole Boundless Space Hole, I don't feel like searching," Gemez Fortress continued.
Anthony said, "But there's already a Lord here. We can't let you destroy the God Star. If you just want to escape the Endless Cage, we can think of a way together, as we also want to leave here."
Gemez Fortress said, "You wouldn't think that stopping my avatars a few times qualifies you to cooperate with me, would you? You don't understand what energy level breaking the cage requires; even if you exhaust all the energy you've developed, you wouldn't even touch its halo."
"I'm telling you all this just so that, when you are extinguished by the remnants of the God Star, you'll know why you died. The Void is always this cruel; the destruction of a God Star reduces countless increments to zero," Gemez Fortress sneered.
Anthony also chuckled, just as he was about to say something, he noticed Ange suddenly tilted his ear to listen.
The next moment, Ange turned to Gemez Fortress and said, "Tyrone says his body has moved."
Everyone was startled and turned to look in the direction of the body of Gemez Fortress. In the position of the God Star, due to the blockade by the body of the Gray Divine Star, Gemez Fortress's body couldn't be seen, but here, in the Silent Death Sea, because it was off the path of the Gray Divine Star's body, the body of Gemez Fortress could be seen.
But after looking for a while, they didn't see any changes.
"It's normal not to see any changes, the distance is too far. But if Tyrone saw it, it means his body moved months ago because any change in light takes months to reach us here due to the vast distance," Negris said in the Soul Network.
"Even his body moved, looks like there's no way to deceive him into cooperation," Anthony said, a bit regretful but also relieved.
