Chapter 1428, is this how you 'invite' someone?
The king slowly floated to the core of the abyss and shouted, "Come out!"
A powerful surge of soul energy flowed toward the core of the abyss, and soon, a star-shaped entity shot out and arrived before the king, looking puzzled.
The king asked angrily, "What do you mean? Do you doubt me? Do you think I would covet this wretched place of yours?"
The Star Zombie was even more confused: "What, what do you mean?"
The king questioned, "What do you mean? You were clearly about to go out, but you stopped when you saw me. What do you mean? Are you afraid I'll steal your grave? Bah! Who do you think you are?"
The Star Zombie seemed to understand what the King was saying. His expression darkened, and he remained silent, because the King was right; he was indeed afraid that these people would steal the Abyss Core.
The king, enraged, laughed: "Heh, I guessed right. You're despicable to think others are like you. Come on, where do you want to go? I'll go with you. Do you dare? I'll go with you. I can't possibly steal your grave again, can I?"
The Star Zombie was stunned. "You can do that?"
It seems possible. As long as the other party is within my perception range, I'm not afraid of him coveting the core of the abyss. But if he accompanies me, what about his subordinates?
The Star Zombie naturally mistook Ang and the others for the King's subordinates. Seeing his hesitation, the King angrily said, "The rest of you come too. Come here, you despicable wretch, do you think they can even lift your grave?"
The Star Zombie thought about it and realized it made sense. They were all Starborn; if they fell into the core of the Abyss, they would probably be crushed.
That makes sense, but the Star Zombie didn't intend to let Ang and the others stay. Instead, he said, "Go to God Star, all of you."
"Let's go, to the Divine Star! Let's go, or the bones will be gnawed on by the dog-headed men!" the king cursed angrily, throwing out his Star Pull-Up and rushing towards the Divine Star.
The Star Zombie turned its gaze to Ang and the others.
Ang and the others had no choice but to cooperate and move towards the direction of the divine star.
The Star Pull could travel hundreds of thousands of kilometers in a single leap. The King waited at this distance for the time being. Ang and the others arrived by star teleportation. Not long after, the Star Zombie's Star Pull also arrived here and pulled its main body over.
Seeing this, the king continued to leap forward, with Ang and his group following behind, and the Star Zombies bringing up the rear. After repeating this several times, Negris said impatiently, "You're too slow. We'll wait for you up ahead."
After saying that, they left without a second thought. This time, they moved to a distance that would require seven or eight Star Pulls to reach, and then waited.
Taking advantage of this pause, Negris couldn't help but say, "I thought I'd have to do something like this to invite him, but it turns out it's like this. He actually fell for it."
Upon hearing that the king should "invite" the other party, Negris' first reaction was: the old man would never lower himself to do that. He wouldn't even say a few soft words, let alone do something as difficult as "invite".
Unsurprisingly, the king refused: "If you want to invite me, go ahead and invite me. I won't go. You go and invite me, and I'll just nod behind you, just like when you and Ang worked together."
The king suddenly realized that having a spokesperson seemed like a good thing, preferably someone as eloquent as Anthony, so that he could speak for him.
Anthony leaned closer and whispered, "You can do this and that, and then do that and that too."
After the king heard this, he left. His voice was too soft for everyone to hear clearly. They were all curious about what Anthony had said, but they never expected that this was how he had "invited" him.
Ulsman also exclaimed, "Yes, I was wondering at first what kind of words I should use to persuade him, but it turns out it's so simple, just a scolding was enough."
Negris worried that the king wouldn't say 'please,' while Ursman was worried about how to phrase it, because he was very bad at rhetoric. Even if he were stuffed into the Book of Brass, he couldn't figure out how to summon the Star Zombie.
I didn't expect it to be so simple.
During the casual conversation, the King and the Star Zombie's pull-up test arrived.
When the Star Zombie saw them, his expression softened noticeably. They were all still there, clearly not taking the opportunity to sneak back and deal with his Abyss Core.
However, he was no longer worried about these Starborn. As long as they stayed with the Star Skeleton, the others had no ability to harm the Abyss Core. But it was good that the other party kept his word.
So the group traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently, and flew towards the direction of the Divine Star.
Unfortunately, the Star Zombie didn't know that the group wasn't complete; they were missing a little zombie who could withstand the immense pressure of the Abyss Core.
After making sure everyone was far away, the little zombie approached from a distance. Once it was close enough, it swung out its Star Pull Hand, pulling itself across at high speed.
It must be said that Star Pull is the quietest of all the movement methods, much quieter than Star Shift or Soul Shift, not to mention spatial rifts, teleportation, and the like.
It can be thrown or pulled back without the main body fluctuating, and the Star Pull also doesn't fluctuate much.
And so, it flew silently and at high speed toward the core of the abyss. At this moment, the little zombie had already been armed with soul armor. The pitch-black armor with one shoulder higher than the other covered his entire body, making him perfectly blend into the void.
However, once inside the core of the abyss, the little zombie realized that all its caution had been in vain, because there were no restrictions, warning arrays, or devices on the core of the abyss.
Moreover, the core environment is very simple. Ang and his group had already searched it once before and only found the place where the Star Zombie was lying. Now that place has exploded, only revealing a human-shaped crater.
The crater had intricate markings and inscriptions. The little zombie stared at it for a long time but couldn't make out anything, so it had to call for help.
On Ang's side, when they encountered the King and the Star Zombies again, Negris said impatiently, "You're too slow. Why don't we go to God Star and wait for you? Traveling like this, one section at a time, is too annoying."
As she spoke, she angrily jumped onto Ang and hung on him.
Anthony quickly followed suit and activated the blur effect, and the others followed suit. Soon, only Ang was left on the field, and the rest of them became mere accessories.
The Star Zombie said nothing and followed the king away on its own.
After several repetitions, he saw Ang again ahead, along with all his 'accessories', all in place as promised, within his perception.
However, what he didn't know was that in this state, Anthony and Negris could project themselves onto the little zombie.
The two projections onto the little zombie quickly realized that there was nothing guarding the area. After a moment's thought, they understood why: "The devouring power here is too strong; ordinary magic arrays and ornaments cannot remain stable."
Even if an object can remain stable, the energy circuits within it cannot. The power of devouring is endogenous, while the exogenous pressure deep within the divine star is more likely to maintain stability.
Then he looked at the human-shaped crater, studied it for a while, and said, "It looks like a sensing device."
"Sensing device? How do you use it?" Anthony asked.
“I don’t know either, little zombie. Try lying down inside. It’s just for sensing; it doesn’t have any destructive capabilities,” Negris suggested.
The little zombie lay down in the crater, but nothing changed.
After thinking for a moment, Anthony suggested, "Little zombie, remove the soul armor from your right arm and stick the skin into the dent."
The little zombie did as instructed. As soon as the soul armor on its arm was removed, the entire humanoid crater seemed to sense something, and all the inscriptions lit up.
