Chapter 1435 There's No Good Solution
After confirming that his arm was severed by the giant snake and that it was just an accident, the Star Zombie continued with his plan. He still had one arm; as for the other one, so be it, he couldn't find it again anyway.
All the Starborn clung to Ang, their souls shifting to the King's side on the outskirts of the Silent Dead Sea. After separating, Negris squinted at the distant Silent Dead Sea for a long while, then asked with some doubt, "Is it really moving?"
The Silent Dead Sea is so vast that its entirety cannot be seen with the naked eye. It's like seeing a tentacle that you might call an octopus, but it's actually the beard of an ancient god.
The situation is the same now. Negris and the others can only see the material zone at the edge, but that is only one of the countless material zones in the Silent Dead Sea. It would probably take several years to travel from the edge to the core of the abyss by normal means.
This resulted in the undead dragonmen staying here for a long time without even knowing where the core was.
Seeing whether something so enormous is moving is not an easy task. Just like when looking at the stars, do they actually move? Even astrologers are not sure. Even if you record the trajectory of the stars, it may just be the plane of time rotating.
Ang nodded.
Okay, Negris can doubt the old man because the old man is unserious and often teases him, but he won't question Ang, because Ang doesn't tease him and sometimes it's hard to get him to talk to you.
"What do we do now?" Now that they've confirmed the Silent Dead Sea is indeed moving, they need to discuss countermeasures. The destruction of the Divine Star is an unacceptable consequence for everyone, as it means the annihilation of all life in the entire void.
"It doesn't necessarily have to be destruction; it could also be the beginning of new life. Just like the Chaos Sphere, let Ang be the eternal light, watching over those living planes and bringing them light," the witch said.
Because of the Great Bone, the Great Sage came over, and the witch who was attached to him also came over. Later, when she heard that they were going to find the King, she followed without saying a word. After paying her respects to the King, she couldn't help but interrupt when she heard everyone discussing.
Hearing her words, everyone looked at each other, and they all felt... that made a lot of sense.
Anthony slapped his thigh and said, "That makes sense. We've all overcomplicated things. At worst, we'll end up like the Chaos Matter. The Witch has a much clearer perspective."
Anthony suddenly realized that the witch's words had revealed a habit of their team, and that this habit was largely related to him.
Anthony's initial faith in Ang was not entirely pure. At the time, he was a regional bishop of the Church of Light and a strong contender for the papacy. He was willing to dedicate everything simply because of his connection with Ang and his immortality.
Of course not. What he valued was that Ang could provide him with a platform to fully utilize his abilities and become his strongest support.
What is his ability? Governance.
After many reincarnations, Anthony gradually developed an obsession: he wanted the people under his rule to live in peace and prosperity, free from worries about food and clothing. This had nothing to do with whether he was kind or not; Anthony himself was not a kind person, but rather a very cunning one.
He simply felt he could do it and kept doing it. When a person reincarnates several times and dedicates several lifetimes to doing one thing, he develops an obsession, or rather, a compulsion. He cannot tolerate the place under his rule becoming as chaotic as the Western Parish.
Ang had the food he needed most and was also protected from the harm of the gods of light.
If you want your territory to be well-governed, then the mortality rate is a hard indicator. You can't have people dying in your territory every day and still have the nerve to say that you're governing it well.
Therefore, Anthony habitually treats the mortality rate as a hard indicator, and every time he makes a plan, he strives to minimize or eliminate deaths. This has become his habit, and it did not develop after he followed Ang.
Over time, he got used to fewer deaths in the Starburst Plane, and he got used to fewer deaths in the Chaos Plane. Now that he's here, he still habitually pursues fewer deaths, not because he's kind-hearted, but because death is an imperfection for him, like a red square in a row of green squares.
Of course, Anthony isn't necessarily a perfectionist. He doesn't hesitate to kill people when necessary, but it's just a habit and not something he can force.
For Ang, it doesn't matter whether people die or not, as long as they don't trample on his vegetables.
But what others don't know is that these newcomers think this is the style of Ang's team, so they also pursue the goal of not losing anyone, and they won't even mention suggestions that would result in too many casualties.
The witch's words enlightened Anthony, and he suddenly understood that the worst outcome was simply becoming like the Chaos Noodles.
Admittedly, many people may die during the process. The Divine Light Alliance and the Philie Empire will lose many ordinary people due to the drastic changes. However, if handled properly, Ang can use the gaze of the Divine Light to send forth light, just like the Ancient Divine Light did in the past, and can minimize casualties.
"You mean, we shouldn't stop him?" Negris asked urgently.
“Of course not. What I mean is, the worst outcome is that it will become the Chaos Sphere, but if we can stop it, we should still stop it. Otherwise, what will happen to the little tree people and the little fire people?” Anthony said.
"And the promise between the little angel and the little tree man should also be kept, otherwise the little angel will become a faithless angel." Negris rolled his eyes, his previous words sounding as if he had no other choice and was about to give up.
Anthony rubbed his nose. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of a Star Zombie, the little angel and the little tree man's agreement might have been fulfilled long ago. Now, they could only postpone it and deal with the Star Zombie first.
"Could you please go down to the depths of the divine star, push his arm out again, and then we can all go up and attack it?" the Great Sage suggested.
“No, Great Sage, you haven’t seen a Star Zombie. Star Zombies are covered in star power. You can’t even touch its arm unless you exhaust all of its star power,” someone said.
Anthony shook his head: "According to what you and His Majesty said, it won't work. Besides, he's definitely on guard now. If you go down and push him again, he might pull you over."
However, if his arm is not pushed out, in the environment deep within the planet, there is no way to unleash a full-force attack on him; at the very least, the monarch's physical body cannot move around there.
After discussing for a long time, we couldn't come up with any good solutions. Were we just supposed to watch the Silent Dead Sea crash into the planet?
