Chapter 52: Burn the Stars
Meanwhile.
Night Star suddenly stopped dead in her tracks on the road, ducking into a corner to watch the crowd suddenly mobilizing en masse.
“Whoa whoa whoa? What’s happening? So many people are moving.”
Eypar flew into the air, looking around.
“Everyone else seems to be doing the same thing, as if they’re all gathering at one spot.”
Night Star froze for a moment, observing the direction of the crowd, realizing something.
“Sharpstar Tower, could it be that Lianhua did this?”
It seems that the Night Watchers’ actions disturbed Lianhua.
So she must have gathered all her power to fight the Night Watchers.
Question was…
Could the Night Watchers really handle so many people?
Even a Sunlight-level Night Watcher probably couldn’t tackle thousands of people.
If each person spits once, the Night Watchers would drown in saliva.
“No way, I need to get there and stop her!”
Determined, Night Star raced toward the destination at godspeed B, leaping over citizens left and right. Even Eypar couldn’t keep up.
“Boo hoo! Night Star, you left me behind again!”
Back under the tower.
Wang Chao was still battling Hero fiercely. Wang Chao was getting the upper hand, unable to get ahead at all.
The human body has limits after all; it’s impossible to outmatch a warrior with continuous explosive power without using Star abilities. Without using Star abilities, the outcome can’t be changed.
During this period, Wang Chao had already received numerous wounds from Hero.
Though it was just superficial wounds, Star Eclipses’ strength isn’t something to joke about.
He truly felt the strange force invading his body, manipulating threads wrapping around him constantly, disrupting his movements.
Wang Chao had to expend energy to resist these threads, barely able to cope.
Now even Yao Can hasn’t recovered; if this continues, defeat is the only outcome.
Tink tink tink!
Wang Chao kept being pushed back by the giant sword, his stamina depleted.
“Hey! Can I use Stars now!?”
He addressed this to someone over a communicator.
In response, Mo Tu calmly answered him.
“Go ahead. After all, we’re in the last phase, so this is beyond the capabilities of regular Night Watchers.”
Wang Chao grinned, his aura bursting forth.
“So the rules of victory are set. My adorable juniors, become my nutrients.”
With that, Wang Chao quickly retreated and adopted a solemn expression, Sunlight Stars starting to shine.
“Stars Holding the Moon.”
Sunlight Star [Stars Holding the Moon], a special star that requires a base number of Night Watchers to unleash its full potential.
Within the area, once Wang Chao uses this star, it will absorb a large portion of other Night Watchers’ stats, stacking them onto himself.
Other Night Watchers will lose corresponding stats, such as strength, spirit, resistance to star eclipses, speed, etc., halved. Wang Chao would then take on these terrifying powers, becoming an attribute monster!
This is essentially giving up mass tactics for supreme individual combat power.
“Haha! I’m stronger now!”
Wang Chao bore the majority of the strength from all non-Sunlight Watchers, exuding a terrifying aura. His pressure influenced reality, making the air feel heavy.
Strength surpassing God-Level A, speed reaching God-Speed A, and even mental force reached an insane level.
Wang Chao’s resistance to Star Eclipses could be considered direct immunity, calling him the strongest human.
However, the cost is that all non-Sunlight Watchers instantly fall under Star Eclipses’ control.
In this region, only a few teammates remained.
Wang Chao stared at Hero’s form, a wild grin spreading across his face, incredibly frightening.
Bam!
In the next second, a sonic boom occurred.
Wang Chao’s figure vanished instantly, a simple yet lethal slash slicing through Hero’s massive form, splitting him in two.
After dealing with Hero, Wang Chao looked up at the top of the tower, pressing down slightly before leaping towards the sky.
Boom!
Terrifying explosive power shattered the earth, creating massive wind pressure.
Atop Sharpstar Tower.
Wang Chao landed gracefully from the sky, holding a radiant sword blade, his body emitting star-like light, like the brightest star in this city.
“Where are they?”
Scanning the area, Wang Chao’s eyes locked onto a petite figure emitting a very obvious Star Eclipse aura—undoubtedly the target of the operation.
She was the instigator of this Star Eclipse, the creator of [Doll City].
Under the night sky, she fit perfectly into this dark scene.
At that moment, a hovering car zoomed in and landed atop Sharpstar Tower.
Yan Que stepped off the vehicle, having arrived just in time.
“Is she the instigator of this Supernova Star Eclipse?”
Wang Chao replied, “Maybe.”
Puppet Master stared at them, showing no emotional fluctuations whatsoever.
“…”
Yan Que acted decisively, planning to control Puppet Master first.
Star [Desireless Person] unfolded, star power attempting to quell her desires, such as desire for performance and resistance, making her yield. But before any effect could be felt, Puppet Master waved her hand, dispersing the star power instantly.
Instantly,
A thick network of threads appeared in the air around Yan Que and Wang Chao.
This was Puppet Master’s domain, where she could manipulate any life form at will, rule beyond reason, immune to any life form’s resistance.
Even Wang Chao, with the highest Star Eclipse resistance, couldn’t escape.
“Oh no!”
Wang Chao and Yan Que’s bodies were entangled by countless threads—no longer just puppet strings, but a full-blown binding!
“d*mn it!”
Wang Chao struggled with all his might, his face twisted in agony, unable to break free from the threads’ control.
Star Eclipse resistance was utterly useless at this moment.
People are going crazy!
Is this what makes Supernova Star Eclipses so outrageous?
Nothing makes sense!
[Stars Holding the Moon] gradually faded away.
Wang Chao couldn’t maintain his god status for long, plus the Night Watchers in this area weren’t enough to sustain it, forced to relinquish under Star Eclipse’s control.
Puppet Master gazed emptily at them, softly saying, “Become my puppet.”
Wang Chao widened his eyes, bellowing, “Teammates! Teammates! Help us! This isn’t working, we’re toast!”
Below the tower.
Night Star finally made it to the destination, arriving before the throngs of citizens.
Breathing heavily, she gasped,
“Ahh… So tiring…”
But there was no time to rest. Lianhua was still waiting for her, along with her puppet.
How could Night Star rest at a time like this?
Just as she prepared to go up, she caught sight of a red-haired figure—the rushing Chi Hao.
At this moment, his hand was pressed against Sharpstar Tower’s wall, emitting a dazzling burst of sparks.
The flame mark reappeared.
“It should be sufficient.”
Satisfied with his work, Chi Hao began using Star Power upon hearing cries for help over his earpiece.
“Burn away all the unholy things, [Burn the Stars].”
