Chapter 71 – Temporal and Spatial Abilities
“Should we let the Star Eclipses with temporal and spatial powers get enhanced by Kuro? It’s certainly a bold and likely successful approach.”
This is much easier to accept than having the Audience Performer take matters into her own hands.
The theater group members certainly don’t want anything bad happening to the Audience Performer.
If there’s any life-threatening danger during trial-and-error, there would be no going back.
But the other Star Eclipses are different.
Members of the group care more about the Audience Performer.
No matter how innocent a certain Star Eclipse might be, their value can’t compare to that of the Audience Performer.
Even if that Star Eclipse fades away in the process of trial-and-error, the theater group members will only be grateful for removing a dangerous path for the Audience Performer.
It’s just a matter of keeping the Audience Performer safe from harm.
Everything else is secondary.
Night Star thought about this.
“But how do we find a Star Eclipse Embodiment who has the ability to traverse time and space? Whether it’s space or time, Star Eclipses involved in these areas must be incredibly rare, right? It’s still questionable whether we can even find one.”
“At least this is a viable plan; it just needs time to put into practice. The Luo Xi you’re looking for isn’t going anywhere in terms of time. There’s plenty of time for you to find one.”
Mo Rabbit shrugged and said.
Even though her pocket dimension ability involves spatial elements, she lacks time-related abilities and thus can’t help Night Star traverse time and space.
Moreover, she is merely a pseudo-Star Eclipse, which wouldn’t easily fool the detection of Origin Kuro.
They’d have to rely on a true Star Eclipse.
Actually, dealing with the spatial domain is easier to handle than the time domain.
Star Eclipses involved in time domains are incredibly rare.
Mo Rabbit checked countless historical accounts of Night Watchers solving Star Eclipse incidents but found few that involved time domains.
They can’t rely solely on manpower to seek out the suitable ones.
Special methods are necessary.
For instance, her divination abilities.
And Night Star’s Wish Princess.
As long as something exists, it can be found.
Even if it doesn’t exist…
Mo Rabbit also has other ideas.
“Hey, Audience Performer, theoretically speaking, the Wish Machine can handle most things. If you want something done, the Wish Princess can help. But if you can’t reach the uncontrolled area sealed by Origin White, another way of wishing could work.”
Mmm, like finding a Star Eclipse involved in time and space right? This should be easy, but wishing is a hassle. Let the divination handle it!”
“But… Entrusting Origin Kuro to an unfamiliar Star Eclipse is still risky. No one can confirm if an unknown Star Eclipse won’t run off with Kuro’s power, especially one with temporal and spatial abilities. Once they receive origin-level reinforcement, they become major trouble – maybe even beyond the grasp of your Wish Princess.”
Upon hearing this, Night Star suddenly realized the seriousness of the situation.
Origin Kuro is extremely important.
His power can make any Star Eclipse capable of disrupting world order.
This is no laughing matter.
Night Star brought him back to the theater for safekeeping because she doesn’t want him falling into the wrong hands.
Handing him over to an untrustworthy Star Eclipse would be counterproductive.
Even if a Star Eclipse with temporal and spatial abilities were found, many factors need to be considered before handing over Origin Kuro to a stranger.
For Star Eclipses, obsessions come first.
With increased power, they’d prioritize their obsessions.
It’s uncertain whether they’d help Night Star Lan traverse time and space.
Not running off with the loot would be ideal.
Thus, using Origin Kuro’s power requires finding a trustworthy person.
Ideally, a Star Eclipse with extreme loyalty to Night Star.
Seems like only the theater group members meet this criteria.
However, no member has abilities related to time and space.
The only one with spatial abilities is the pseudo-Star Eclipse Mo Rabbit.
What now?
Night Star looked at Mo Rabbit pleadingly, hoping for suggestions.
Just then, Mo Rabbit pointed at her head.
“Use your common sense. Actually, the solution isn’t hard. You can easily achieve it.”
“Mmnh, thinking too hard exhausts me. I only think when alone. Since there’s a more reliable companion around, why bother?”
Said Night Star quoting the famous slack-off saying, causing Mo Rabbit’s lips to twitch slightly.
“You’ll regret it someday.”
Of course, Mo Rabbit continued without skipping a beat.
“It’s simple. Just use your Wish Princess.”
“Use the Wish Princess to find a trustworthy Star Eclipse with time and spatial abilities?”
“Not exactly. Use the Wish Princess to create one.”
“Hold it—so you mean…”
“Exactly, just as you thought. Pick any theater group member, alter their essence with your wish power to gain temporal and spatial abilities, then enhance them with Origin Kuro to the level of Origin White. Voila, your problem is solved!”
Night Star fell into deep thought.
She suddenly found this method feasible.
Creating a Star Eclipse with touch of time and space eliminates the need for a search.
Also, Origin Kuro won’t go to an untrustworthy individual.
It’s a win-win situation.
She wouldn’t need to break level restrictions or transform into a Star Eclipse!
Probably a win-win-win!
“Except, who among us should give it a try?”
Night Star puzzledly asked.
Undoubtedly,
the Star Eclipse members present would gladly lend their support to the Audience Performer, showcasing maximal devotion.
Ultimately, the Group Leader stepped forward.
“I’ll take it on.”
“Group Leader, is it okay?”
“Naturally.”
“Ugh…then, I trust you with this.”
Night Star didn’t hesitate.
Clearly, she could see determination in the Group Leader’s resolve.
Trusting him was enough.
“Group Leader, grant me a wish.”
Night Star spread her arms, awaiting the Group Leader’s wish.
She’s heading into the future and hence plans to use the least draining method of wishing.
If she wished for the Group Leader to gain temporal abilities, it could drain a lot of energy, potentially leaving her powerless once she arrives at the future.
But it’d be different if the Group Leader wished on her behalf.
The price would be his to pay. Night Star merely needed to rest to fully recover, never entering a weakened state.
Thus, she can fight when danger looms.
The Group Leader knew this, yet hesitated not in the slightest.
“I pray you, great being, grant me the power to aid the Audience Performer.”
Inside Night Star, the Wish Princess spoke,
“Pact agreed. The cost shall be half of the ‘Audience Etiquette’ and all Black Feathers. In return, I bestow upon you the power of time and space.”
Star Eclipses’ power usually comes as the old currency.
Night Star nearly possessed part of each member’s power origins internally.
All the Black Feathers stood for the specialized power the Group Leader had gathered over the years.
These black feathers dealt d*ath to wicked Star Eclipses, taking their final worth.
And the Group Leader’s ‘Demon King mode’ came from the vast number of black feathers.
Now that they’ve been completely stolen by the Wish Princess,
it means he won’t be able to enter his terrifying “Demon King” mode for some time.
