Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

Chapter 29: Sundial Spear



No transportation? Then it's a death march, directly crossing areas of natural disasters. Players of the new version are directly elevated to the Gamma Phase level, plus Li Aozi continuously burning the Ersha, the threat of natural disasters to them is minimal.

Even the genetically modified Frost Plated Soldiers, upon seeing players drilling in and out of storm clouds, madly marching on a death march, their first reaction was even to think: "Who exactly is the Apostle of Entropy?"

As for Li Aozi, the mastermind behind all this, he had another kind of wondrous feeling.

This power... it's very similar to Arcane Energy, yet completely different.

Arcane Energy is the mandate of world operation. No matter how it is used, it follows a fixed algorithm, like the rules of a game that must operate according to those rules.

Whereas the power of professionals is entirely constructed by Ether. This power is extremely violent, without order, but conversely, it also has no operational limits.

Arcane Energy requires repeated practice, memorizing the procedure step by step, eventually forming a trigger mechanism similar to conditional induction. In terms of passive triggering, there is nothing faster in the Starry Abyss System than Arcane Energy.

But the secret abilities are a highly free and idealistic power. Compared to Arcane Energy, which can be improved with practice, it requires more imagination.

"His concentration is too high; this is not normal, Kauna, prepare to eliminate him."

Victor's expression was grave. As a [Writer], he couldn't guide this guy's future. The other party suddenly activated the power of a professional, so even as a compatriot, it was best to be wary.

After all, the probability of senators going crazy and berserk is not much lower than that of speakers.

However, even so, the three senators felt much relieved.

Because 12 minutes had passed.

Hum——————————!

A distant low rumble suddenly erupted from the earth, and the secret councilors immediately ceased fighting and retreated under the guidance of the [Writer].

"The plan has succeeded."

Victor said indifferently:

"Lord Entropy is ours."

"Uh—what exactly happened?"

Caramel Snail and others staggered, and then a game interface popped up in front of everyone.

[Task completed, about to teleport out of the area]

"The task is complete already?"

Lanan looked blankly at several senators who were out of combat status.

"Ah, what a joke?"

Severston swung his collar angrily and said:

"I haven't even caught a single puppy yet! Damn, if I were still on the Raiding Pathway, that would be good, the healer's output is too low!"

"Is the task just over like this..."

Caramel Snail looked unwillingly at the secret councilors:

"Damn plot setup, just wait for it, Qiqiao Network's plot planner, someday I'll stuff your head into a public toilet's bowl!"

"But, what about A'zhen?"

Lanan turned to point at the giant behind them.

"...He doesn't seem to need our concern."

Severston assessed.

"Though it's not very kind to say so... But I think it's quite right."

Caramel Snail agreed, while looking at the senators unwillingly:

"If it weren't for the time limitation, we could definitely defeat them..."

"No, we couldn't." Severston countered: "Those guys can commit suicide and return to their bodies anytime. Unless you control their Ether, and preferably find a way to cut off their connection with [Society], otherwise, killing them a few times would always see them revive."

"You know so much, Doctor." Lanan asked curiously with hands behind her back: "You seem very familiar with the worldview and background of Starry Abyss."

"It's all in the settings collection. I guess I'm an investigative party." Severston smiled. He had ready excuses and had even released a few plot explanations to the group:

"Leo—True General has now left the team, probably entering a plot, we should just leave him for now, I'm sure pretty soon, we'll see a lively True General again."

"That's the best we can do." Caramel Snail raised his hand, his fingertips disintegrating into light particles, and he looked at Cumin Powder in his friend list — now even their avatar had become blank, and the name showed as 'account canceled'.

"...Someday, I'll drive the Earthlings out of the Starry Abyss."

He shook his head:

"Really, why am I being emotional? The account doesn't bring her back to the level from before, just making it this sentimental."

But, for some reason, Caramel Snail felt very peculiar.

That dark cylinder, where did it really come from...

Lanan glanced at the towering giant, with her index finger against her lips, pondered quietly for a while, opened her friend list, found True General's account, and left a message:

"Your moves are impressive, if you ever need a teammate, remember to call me—didn't I perform well, too?"

She tilted her head, her body gradually dissolving into light particles and vanished:

"Isn't this being a bit too coquettish? Oh well, never mind. He probably wouldn't care about these details."

[Currently teleporting...]

Caramel Snail and others were teleported away, and Li Aozi breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, the main quest was issued by him, so it could end whenever he wanted.

Otherwise, the True General's affairs would certainly be exposed sooner or later.

Though having some pace is good, not every pace can be taken.
