Chapter 77: Information Correction
Realizing retreat was off the table, the three First Generation Star Holders decisively gave up on leaving.
White had just relayed a message to them stating that they could use force to make Night Star Lan drop her goals but should avoid going overboard.
With her permission, the three First Generation Holders could finally consider her an enemy.
“Mental power? You don’t need to worry about that. After surviving for eons, our accumulated mental power is not something ordinary humans can match. And… have you ever heard of the Perpetual Mechanism?”
The Perpetual Mechanism is a theoretical construct in human history, existing only under certain conditions in the realm of theory. It definitely wouldn’t show up in reality; otherwise, various scholars would have a field day tearing it apart.
But that’s in the theoretical world.
Stars were never meant to exist in theory.
Who knows, the star known as the Perpetual Mechanism might actually be real.
Just thinking about the power of the Perpetual Mechanism made Night Star Lan’s expression turn serious.
Could that First Generation Star Holder possibly possess endless mental power to fuel it?
It seemed that way.
Once, Night Star Lan had heard about this star from the Dream Narrator.
It could keep certain things in their initial state forever, possibly never running out of energy.
The mental power of the Perpetual Mechanism might maintain this state.
It might never deplete at all.
Night Star Lan initially intended to rely on the massive mental power she had obtained from Book Yao.
But when compared to unlimited mental power, it was still way too small.
“What of the Perpetual Mechanism? I’m going to smash your scientific heresy into the ground today!”
This star wasn’t as outrageous as one might imagine.
The Perpetual Mechanism could only keep one thing eternally moving; to give another thing perpetual motion, you’d have to cancel the original one out first.
If the Perpetual Mechanism had unlimited mental power now, then it was just unlimited mental power.
Having a number with no mechanism was completely useless!
Of course, if the other two joined in, that’s a different story.
The unlimited mental power of the Perpetual Mechanism could be shared, so if the other two First Generations also had unlimited mental power, that would be terrifying!
Like a nuclear missile launcher with no cooldown and infinite ammunition!
But Night Star Lan wasn’t to be outdone.
Putting aside the Wish Machine as her trump card, she had other powerful abilities!
Probability Interference offered maximum odds improvement, and the rest relied on mysticism and luck!
Using Loti Shana’s authority to construct the Star Eclipse Nation on the spot, boosting combat power even further with local enhancements.
No Deceit for Young and Old taken to the extreme.
Even if she couldn’t directly swap the three First Generation Stars, she could snatch some of the Perpetual Mechanism’s unlimited mental power to enhance her stamina.
Blink provided incredible maneuverability, even offering a chance to turn the tides of battle.
Just these four First Generation Eclipse abilities could dramatically empower Night Star Lan.
With Book Yao’s few centuries of mental power as initial fuel and the mental power gained from later exchanges, Night Star Lan could easily go toe-to-toe with them all day!
Not to mention the powers of the theater group members.
Doll City could provide powerful control and could even interrupt an opponent’s attack at a critical moment.
Existence Interference could hide her presence, allowing for surprise attacks.
Polite Devil and Concept Interference might not largely affect those three First Generation Star Holders, but she could use the Wish Machine to amplify things, which could play a crucial role.
And let’s not forget the group leader’s Audience Etiquette, a terrifying group control ability, who knows if it could be useful.
In addition, there was the life-restoring Life Blessing, the group leader’s extra Black Feather power, and so on.
With so many abilities, Night Star Lan was like a war god.
Even without the Wish Machine, she could stand up to or even surpass a First Generation!
Add in the Wish Machine, and she’d be a war god among war gods!
“Let’s duel!”
Faced with Night Star Lan’s intense fighting spirit, the three First Generations didn’t back down, showing the same fierce combat will.
“Gladly!”
“Since you’re so stubborn, we’ll just have to push you back.”
“Go back, for everyone’s sake.”
Night Star Lan took the initiative, letting Night Star and Night Lan each harness half the power to fight together.
It looked like two against three, but in reality, it was one against three.
Night Star Lan’s multitasking was already second nature.
“Establish a nation!”
The space began to fluctuate violently as the Star Eclipse Nation was instantly erected, locking the Judger, Record Keeper, and Perpetual Mechanism inside.
Night Star Lan’s momentum continued to rise.
The three First Generations glanced around, quickly recognizing the ability Night Star Lan used.
“Is it the power of the Originator?”
The Record Keeper, a woman, murmured to herself as she took out a small notebook to look it over.
“I’ve recorded her detailed information; the local enhancement trait is indeed a powerful ability capable of turning the tide of battle. Anyone fighting here will be considerably affected, or the Originator wouldn’t always be lurking here, provoking other First Generations.”
At her words, Night Star Lan’s heart quickly became alert.
According to the information from the Dream Narrator.
The Record Keeper’s star was Information Correction.
Her job during her human days was likely to document various historical events happening in a particular area.
And after being around the Origin, everything she documented transformed into occurrences surrounding the Origin.
She habitually recorded everything around her, including information about past companions, namely the First Generations.
The Record Keeper held the authority to modify the information she noted in her little book.
Like someone tasked with writing history.
No matter how they modified the actual history, a considerable number of people would believe it.
The information modified by the Record Keeper could also twist reality.
Turning lies into truth, and the modified information would reflect in reality.
It was like changing the national treasure symbol of a country.
From then on, pandas would no longer be the iconic national treasure, and any other animal could take its place.
The Record Keeper couldn’t erase the abilities attached to Night Star Lan but could easily add weaknesses that would make those abilities easier to counter.
“Let’s tweak a few settings. To be more precise, the establishment of the Star Eclipse Nation requires three necessary conditions: land, citizens, and a king. The land can be found anywhere, and Night Star Lan acts as the king, but the citizens are missing. The Judger, Record Keeper, and Perpetual Mechanism don’t count as citizens, so the establishment of the Star Eclipse Nation will ultimately fail.”
The Record Keeper calmly jotted down this statement in her notebook.
The next moment.
The Star Eclipse Nation that Night Star Lan had established vanished instantly.
The Record Keeper closed her little book steadily and looked at Night Star Lan with a blank expression.
“Please feel free to showcase any more abilities; I will systematically strip your supports of their intended effects.”
In this battle, the Record Keeper acted like a mini-boss that specialized in applying various debuffs to Night Star Lan.
The abilities Night Star Lan had intended to leverage would face severe restrictions.
Night Star Lan had only heard of such powers before.
Today, she finally felt the strange nature of this star.
