### Chapter 19: Outside Factors
Countless black feathers rained down from the sky, a sure sign of extreme bad vibes.
The Night Watchers at their base stared, utterly dumbfounded by the scene unfolding before them.
Hei Yang, wide-eyed, was in a state of shock.
“Are you serious right now!?”
He could sense the terrifying Star Eclipses Power lurking within those feathers. If it exploded, it would be pure catastrophe.
Under the ominous aura brought on by these feathers, the stage play finally exuded a strong sense of crisis.
The oppressive vibe of the Evil King hit them like a ton of bricks.
The audience couldn’t help but shiver, their goosebumps standing at attention as panic surged within.
“What kind of real-life rendering is this? The atmosphere is so intense! I feel like that old uncle really is an Evil King?! And what about those feather effects? Is this real or just a projection? How can technology bring cinema into reality like this?”
“This is kind of interesting. Could it be some supernatural power at work?”
“A bit exaggerated, but also a bit reasonable. If we can’t explain it with science, then it must be supernatural, right? But they sure seem to be just putting on a stage play.”
“Can’t wait to see what happens next!”
Cutting back to the stage.
Night Star pointed her sword at the Evil King and declared, “Then I have no choice but to take you down!”
“Do you think I’m the only one who’s unhappy here?”
No sooner had he said that than several beams of light shot down from the sky, illuminating nearby skyscrapers.
There stood two figures.
A Gentleman and a Fraudster.
Mo Rabbit spoke up in her narration style again.
They were the Evil King’s henchmen, helping him dominate the land with their formidable combat skills.
Suddenly, they unleashed their potent energy, making the air thick and heavy, making the audience break into a sweat too tense to even breathe.
Then, with a snap of his fingers, the Evil King beckoned.
Snap.
Creepy dark shadows began to materialize out of thin air, their sheer numbers striking fear into the hearts of all.
These were puppets created by Lianhua, buffed up by the Fraudster’s abilities, forming the Evil King’s army and also boasting terrifying battle prowess.
Standing alone against these nightmarish numbers, Night Star looked a bit lonely and helpless.
The situation felt as if that girl truly aimed to take on the Evil King’s forces.
But could this girl really take on such massive power by herself?
“Isn’t it a bit too difficult?”
“This is so immersive, I’m about to wet my pants!”
“What? So many people? Is this some official event? This is kind of fun.”
Facing such overwhelming foes, Night Star showed no sign of backing down.
“You think I’m the only one unhappy with you?”
Then lights shone down, revealing several figures beside her.
Book Yao, Kong Yu Bai, and the Puppet Master—characters all allied with Night Star in her crusade against the Evil King.
The tension mounted as both sides faced off, the atmosphere growing thicker.
Back at the Night Watcher Base.
Hei Yang and the others watched this unfold.
“Not bad, but the start feels a bit dull—a little short on shock value.”
Hei Yang casually commented, already ready to check out of this performance.
After all, they couldn’t intervene in a situation like this.
With the sun overshadowed, his only worry was to kick back and watch the show.
Mo Qianmeng looked a bit concerned as she observed the scene.
“Is it really okay for the group leader to unleash such massive Star Eclipses energy? It feels like it’s already affecting the ordinary people.”
“Relax, word from the front lines is that the Star Eclipses energy doesn’t harm humans; it’s just a bit suffocating. It’s meant to enhance the immersive vibe of the stage play. The audience performer girl probably already dealt with their Star Eclipses pollution.”
“Really?”
Ice Lixie pondered over this.
For some reason, she felt a foreboding chill.
Meanwhile, in Qi Yuan City.
Numerous hidden Star Eclipses began stirring under the intense mixed energy.
It gave them the illusion that it was time to emerge and fulfill their obsessions.
In this world, many low-level Star Eclipses concealed their existence to avoid the Night Watchers and were always on the lookout for the right moment to strike.
With higher-level beings helping create buzz, it was time to wreak havoc!
Boom!
Many hidden Star Eclipses began to emerge, mostly of mid-tier and inferior grades.
They didn’t possess the intelligence of Ultra Star Eclipses but relied solely on instinct to enact their obsessions.
And the chaos caused by these Star Eclipses caught everyone’s attention.
The Night Watcher Base detected this anomaly in no time.
“What? Are there more Star Eclipses? Could the Rising Sun Theater Group’s arrival have triggered a chain reaction?”
From what Knowledge Star gathered, dozens of Star Eclipses appeared simultaneously.
Though they didn’t include any mid-tier or above, this many causing trouble was still a serious headache.
With that thought, Hei Yang considered sending other Night Watchers to deal with it.
They could ignore the Rising Sun Theater Group, but if other Star Eclipses caused havoc, that would be a real problem.
On the other side, Night Star, preparing for her next move atop a skyscraper, sensed the presence of dozens of unfamiliar Star Eclipses throughout the city via Existence Interference.
What the heck?
Is there actually a Star Eclipse trying to crash their performance?!
With this thought, Night Star glanced towards the Group Leader, only to find him out of character, slightly frowning and glancing in another direction.
Just as Night Star was left unsure of what to do, the Group Leader spread his arms wide, and countless black feathers formed massive wings behind him.
This spectacle grabbed everyone’s attention again.
In an instant, a command resonated in the consciousness of all present Star Eclipses.
“Gather!!”
Under commands from a superior being, the lower-tier Star Eclipses had no choice but to comply, almost as if being drawn to the Group Leader’s location.
The script was changing.
Or perhaps… this stage play was about to go off-script.
What followed could be an improvised performance!
Before long, unfamiliar Star Eclipses flocked toward the Group Leader, drawn to his thick aura.
The appearance of these eerie figures only ramped up the tension in the atmosphere.
The scene had completely veered off the script.
Seeing this, the playwright, Book Yao, shook her head, realizing they would have to see how it all unfolded.
Meanwhile, the Announcer watched in amusement, her cute smile beaming.
“An uncontrollable grand performance? This is how the first one went too, but that’s what gives it character and surprises, doesn’t it?”
A stage play that strayed from the script was a double-edged sword.
If done well, it resulted in a triumphant drama.
If done poorly, it ended in a comical disaster.
Just thinking about it was amusing.
Could Night Star and the others successfully perform their way to the end?
Mo Rabbit eagerly awaited what was coming next.
Not just her, but all the other audience members were on edge for the next act.
Especially the Night Watchers.
They wanted to see how the Rising Sun Theater Group would cope with these unexpected, uncontrollable factors.
