Chapter 1773: Chapter 1334 The Monarch’s True Form Arrives

"The black spots are gone? Wait, no, there’s still a bit, very faint, but they are indeed fading. Yennefer, what did you do? Why are the black spots fading?" Negris leaned forward to check and asked.

Yennefer looked bewildered: "I don’t know, I didn’t do anything."

"Is it the soil here? Did stepping on it help?" Anthony picked up a handful of soil curiously and said, "This is too much of an acclimatization issue, isn’t it?"

Ursman had a different opinion: "How could it be? Soil isn’t a liquid; even if it got on you, it couldn’t penetrate the scales this fast, surely there’s another reason, like there’s some sort of array here? "

"If it’s an array, it wouldn’t be this slow. He should’ve felt the effects as soon as he stepped into the array’s range, but he only noticed the fading now." Negris disagreed with Ursman’s view.

"Could it be that the plants were blocking it before, and the Little Sapling killed them off just now, so the array worked?" Anthony synthesized both opinions to offer a compromise guess.

"Maybe it could be the wind."

"Or perhaps some component in the air."

"Or maybe some radioactive material in the stones?"

"What’s a radioactive material?"

"Some ores, like yellow-green mica, decaying Crystal Stone, or life decay stone, emit some unknown fluctuations. Being around them for long periods can easily cause sickness, decay, rapid aging, etc." Ursman said.

"Oh, the breath of death counts as a radioactive substance too, right? Too much of the breath of death can cause aging, but decay is less likely." Nagri said.

"It’s different, I can’t explain it, just ask the lord, you can’t see it, but maybe the lord can." Ursman said.

Negris went to ask Ange, who shook his head: "No radiation."

"Can you really see it? If it’s not radiation, then why did the black scale disease fade?" Negris asked.

Ange pointed at the illumination window in the sky, tilted his head, and then added as if remembering something: "It, radiation."

"Pfft... We’ve been discussing this for so long, guessed everything, and you’re telling me it’s because of sunlight exposure that it got better? And what do you mean it radiates? Is the sun a radioactive substance?" Negris spat.

Ange nodded.

"What do you mean by nodding? Is the sun really a radioactive substance?" Negris was stunned.

Ange nodded.

"So the sun emits rays, and basking in it cures the black scale disease, just like how sunlight cures rickets?" Negris asked.

Ange nodded.

Negris, Anthony, Ursman, and Yennefer all looked at each other, so it was really that simple? Just basking in the sun?

"Does any sun work?" Gray Divine Star asked, stepping forward and raising one hand, on which a dazzling light appeared.

The light shone on Yennefer’s foot, and that faint ring of black spots showed no change.

"What kind of light is this? Wasn’t it supposed to be sunlight? Not everyone can radiate sunlight." Yennefer asked in confusion.

The Monarch and Gray Divine Star arrived later and were unfamiliar with Yennefer, plus they used the Star God’s Body that concealed depth, causing some confusion when everyone was discussing sunlight and this fellow suddenly reached out.

"This is the Gray Divine Star." Anthony introduced.

"Pfft... God... God Star? Gray Divine Star?" Yennefer’s voice trembled; to him, a God Star was basically a sun, a living sun in front of him, and it talked, how terrifying!

"Then... then what about the other one?" Yennefer whispered, curious about what rank of existence could stand shoulder to shoulder with a God Star.

"Oh, that’s Ange’s monarch." Negris said.

Yennefer’s legs felt weak. Ange was the Dragon God, and this was the Dragon God’s monarch?

"Hey, hey, stand up properly, don’t sit on the ground." Ursman quickly supported the somewhat frightened Yennefer, then said, "Apparently, not all sunlight works. Which God Star is opposite this rift?"

"It can only be Little Fireman’s, other God Stars projecting from too far would be too remote." Negris said.

Ange raised his hand, manifesting a Star Flame that shone brightly. The Star Flame radiated strong light, shining on Yennefer’s foot, and soon, the faint ring of black spots vanished.

"So just basking in the sun really worked. Don’t you guys sunbathe regularly? Do your boundaries not have sunlight?" Negris asked.

Yennefer said happily and excitedly: "We do, but those are the light beams intercepted by the boundary, not the real sunlight. This is direct sunlight. We have sunlight in the boundary, but still have black scale disease, so we ruled out sunlight as the reason, didn’t realize direct exposure was needed."

"Alright, now that we’ve found a solution, go back and get your people quickly, bring them over. King Fei Lie could come anytime, trapping you in the dimension. We won’t be saving you then." Anthony urged hastily.

Negris asked: "Is there still time? How far is King Fei Lie from here?"

"It shouldn’t be far. If they can connect the Sleeping Tombstone with a Teleportation Gate, the distance can’t be far. But no one knows how fast King Fei Lie moves in the void. If he can soul shift like the lord, it’ll be just a second, so hurry and get into the Space-Time Divine Domain where the lord can protect you." Anthony said quickly.

Yennefer ran off, a bit regretful that he insisted on curing himself first, but he had already used Bloodline Resonance to warn his companions beforehand, hoping they’d listen. If not, so be it, he’d just bring his wife and kids first.

After Yennefer left, Anthony called over Luther Lightning and Ursman, telling them to scour the Ancestor’s Tomb, and if they found any etchings or imprints, make sure to do a rubbing.

After searching through, they didn’t find anything particularly valuable, not even a corpse with value like those in the Sleeping Tombstone.

"Turns out the most valuable thing in this Ancestor’s Tomb is this illumination rift. Without it, all Dragon-Men would suffer from black scale disease." Negris said.

Anthony nodded in agreement, then looked towards Ange: "So where do we go now? Do we wait here?"

Ange shook his head: "Wait at tombstone, king, main body."

"It’s coming, soon. Why does it have to be my main body? I think this form is quite strong." The Monarch asked, somewhat puzzled.

Ange scratched his head in frustration.

The Monarch quickly cut in: "Alright, no need to explain, sort it out when my main body arrives."

Returning to the Sleeping Tombstone, after waiting for a while, the Monarch suddenly chopped with his hand, cleaving open a dimensional rift in the air before him. Immediately, hands emerged from the opposite side, gripping the edges of the rift. With a forceful pull, the rift was torn open, and a Chaotic Black Crystal Skull emerged.

"Alright, I’m here, what do you want me to do?" The Black Crystal Skull’s jaw opened and closed as it spoke.
