Chapter 2145: Chapter 1706: Ange’s Protection

The Exotic Ghost severed the soul contact but did not provide more information.

"I don’t know anything myself, where would I get information for you?" the Exotic Ghost muttered to itself, then turned to contact the Dark Star Beast: "One energy node has been destroyed already; if any of the remaining five nodes are destroyed, I’ll kill you all."

"As you command, sir." The leader Dark Star Beast responded unusually respectfully, letting out a long sigh of relief, thankful for bluffing through.

Feeling fortunate, the two Dark Star Beasts left the energy node and flew towards another nearby energy node.

Soon after they left, a flame ignited out of thin air, transforming into a Little Angel. With one Great Resurrection Technique, all two hundred Ghost Angels that had been crushed by the Double Star Magic Disc were revived.

However, the energy node here was already destroyed. They didn’t need to stay any longer, so the Little Angel flapped its wings, expanding into a massive red cloth, scooped up all two hundred Ghost Angels, and swiftly disappeared into the air.

The leader Dark Star Beast and its companion arrived at another energy node. Together with another Dark Star Beast stationed there, there were now three Dark Star Beasts at this energy node.

Ordinarily, three Dark Star Beasts should easily pursue two hundred Ghost Angels, but those Ghost Angels seemed to have discovered some blind spot, all gathering on the mountain of the energy node. If the Dark Star Beasts were to attack the Ghost Angels, most of the damage would be borne by the energy node.

Facing this situation, the Dark Star Beasts were constrained. One Dark Star Beast said angrily: "Main star, why not let me use Shattering Star Roar to crash them?"

The leader Dark Star Beast asked: "Can you ensure the energy node won’t be damaged?"

The Dark Star Beast said: "Of course not, these things are as chaotic as radiance, and now they’re all sticking to the energy column. Attacking them would certainly hit the energy column."

"Then why would you use it?" the leader Dark Star Beast roared: "With such a wide-range attack, will you compensate if the energy column is damaged?"

The Dark Star Beast conflictedly said: "But without wide-range skills, it’s difficult to annihilate them."

Saying this, the Dark Star Beast pointed at a Ghost Angel just revived by a companion, annoyed, and said: "Look, they can resurrect."

If they can’t annihilate all targets in one go, these Ghost Angels will seize the opportunity to revive their companions. If the form isn’t completely obliterated, the resurrection speed will be incredibly fast, practically an indestructible swarm of flying radiance.

The leader Dark Star Beast calmly said: "If we can’t eliminate these enemies, would we die?"

"Yes, the venerable one said, if we don’t eliminate these enemies, we’ll be killed?" the Dark Star Beast said.

The leader Dark Star Beast said: "No, the venerable one said ’if the enemies continue attacking the energy node, we’ll be killed’, do you see them still attacking the energy node?"

The Dark Star Beast hesitated, taking a glance. Although a small portion of the Ghost Angels were still attacking the energy node, most of them were busy guarding against them, and the attack intensity was nowhere near its previous level.

The leader Dark Star Beast said: "But the venerable one just said, damage one more energy node and we’re dead; failing to eliminate the enemy won’t kill us, but damaging the energy node, we’re dead for sure. Which do you choose?"

The Dark Star Beast wasn’t as savvy as the leader and conflictedly said: "But won’t the venerable one get angry if this continues?"

The leader Dark Star Beast leisurely said: "You’re still young and haven’t experienced wars between God Stars. Wars between God Stars often last tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, affecting several Divine Star Domains. We haven’t reached anywhere near that yet."

"Moreover, we’re being cautious now, not wanting to damage the energy nodes. If it weren’t for the venerable one’s ’reminder’ just now, we might have already damaged the second energy node." The leader Dark Star Beast said.

Good fellow, in the Ghost Council, this leader is likely a master of evasion, actually framing inactivity as caution, turning the Exotic Ghost’s command into a reminder, so even if pursued, it can claim it was due to the Exotic Ghost’s reminder.

While the Dark Star Beast side was being inactive, the Exotic Ghost had already put them behind.

Upon knowing the existence of ’another ghost’, it knew this wasn’t something that could be solved by merely preserving the energy nodes.

No matter how well the energy nodes are maintained, they’re just arrays for attacking a God Star. The problem now is that the incoming enemies aren’t God Stars, the array can be repaired if damaged, but solving ’another ghost’ first is imperative.

In the array, the previously accumulated enormous power slowly flowed into the Exotic Ghost’s body. The previously pitch-black shadow became more solid and three-dimensional.

If it was initially a thin shadow, then now it was a silhouette formed by innumerable layers of thin shadows, akin to a book made of countless papers, visibly substantial.

The power of the original Ghost Array was accumulated within the array to propel the Exotic Ghost.

To traverse vast distances in the void at extremely high speed requires massive energy; now that the Exotic Ghost no longer needs to be launched, this energy can be gathered for its use, transforming into its body, enhancing it several dozen times over.

The first to sense something amiss was the Monarch, who had been confined by the Exotic Ghost, occasionally unsealing to glance, soon witnessing the rapid solidification of the Exotic Ghost’s body. This change was clearly not a slight enhancement but a transformation at the energy level.

With immense combat experience, the Monarch immediately sensed the danger, and the soul instantly transmitted a large amount of information towards Ange’s direction.

In a corner of the Star Lord’s Chariot, a normally sized skull suddenly lit up with soul flames in its pupils.

The current body of Ange towering to a height of ten thousand kilometers, the normally sized skull akin to dust, if not for suddenly generating soul fluctuations, Ange would have never noticed such a thing casually left in the corner amidst gardening.

Now discovered, Ange’s thought swept over it, the jaw of the skull instantly moved, the Monarch’s soul fluctuations emanating from it: "This is my Life Box, the energy level of that ghost is undergoing a transformation, I’ll try to chop him first. If I can’t chop him and can’t escape, you can help resurrect me."

Ange nodded.

Ange wasn’t in a rush, but Negris was anxious, cursing loudly: "Old Immortal, have you gone mad? His original energy level was already high, now it’s transforming, and you still want to chop him? Are you courting death?"

The Monarch insouciantly said: "What’s there to fear? I left a Life Box, at worst I’ll reincarnate."

Negris exasperatedly said: "Do you not understand what reincarnation implies? Life Box reincarnation signifies you’re already dead, and the reincarnated one is a brand new soul carrying your memories."

The Monarch chuckled: "Little Fat Dragon, even now you don’t understand? All life can be tainted, as long as the memories are still mine, no matter how many times my consciousness is tainted, I’m still me."

"Ah, is that so?" Negris asked in bewilderment.

The Monarch continued: "Your current consciousness, form, shape, life level, have changed countless times, except for the continuously retained memory, what else of yours is the same as before?"

Negris blinked, seemingly enlightened. Simply transitioning from the Bronze Book to reality and acquiring its own body was already a metamorphosis of life form.

Given the scenarios of Red Star and Truth Cannon, Negris was essentially a memory imprint, sealed in the Bronze Book after death. The Bronze Book granted it the ability to think, until Ange fostered a Bronze Dragon body for it, allowing a rebirth.

From resurrecting from a memory imprint, isn’t it still Negris?

Somewhat convinced, Negris nonetheless wasn’t keen on the Monarch courting danger: "With your soul so feeble, it would explode with just a glare from the ghost, and you intend to chop someone? Can you really seal the soul while chopping the energy-level transforming Exotic Ghost?"

This indeed worried the Monarch, otherwise, he wouldn’t have updated the Life Box. But before he could say anything, Ange lifted a hand towards him, imprinting an incantation instantly on the Monarch’s consciousness—Ange’s protective incantation.

Under Ange’s protection, the soul was impervious to harm from any soul weaker than Ange.
