Meteor Fall Master in the 'Starry Abyss'

Chapter 800: 406. Void Overlord Annihilation Battle (1)

Cold.

When the eight Knights of the High Table first left the earth and entered the vacuum, the first thing they felt was the cold cosmos.

Though their bodies could fully withstand such an environment, it was like camels in the desert falling into the ocean, needing to flounder a bit before adapting.

Soon after, the unabated solar storm scorched their bodies to a rapid heat.

By the time they adapted to the zero-gravity of the vacuum and adjusted their stances, it was already over.

"You, you’re definitely not the chief! Who are you really?"

Magic Eye adjusted his position and shouted, but once he opened his mouth, the sound couldn’t travel through the vacuum.

Even so, Li Aozi could probably guess what the other was thinking.

He stood in the cosmos, with his back to the sun, his five and a half meters tall frame shrouded in shadow due to the backlight, making his fiery eyes seem all the more shockingly azure.

Li Aozi didn’t speak. He slightly tilted his head, and a rift instantly tore open beside him, a golden and resplendent road extending forth like a breach-flooding torrent, pouring out from a dimensional tear, sweeping up all eight Knights of the High Table.

"Hm, this aura, no wonder Layer Abyss issued a summons."

Tap, tap, tap...

Suddenly, in the vacuum cosmos, a series of crisp footsteps echoed.

Click.

The golden road fractured inch by inch, collapsing into basic photon particles and scattering to the surroundings. A casually dressed woman with long blue hair reaching her heels leisurely walked to Li Aozi’s side and remarked:

"Tsk tsk, even the pups of the void have extended their claws here, it seems that the earlier Level 5 silent disappearance wasn’t just a coincidence."

Saying so, she looked up, seemingly ignoring the vacuum and low pressure as she took a swig of alcohol:

"Gulp gulp—ha, the expansion of The Sixth Narrative has been going on for some time now, but..."

She abruptly turned her head, as if her neck didn’t exist, rotating it 180 degrees to face Li Aozi with her teal eyes showing a twisted expression:

"There’s also a beautifully ascending Ascender here, look at you, White Jade Skin, Celadon Skin, Fine Steel Armor, Star-Forged Bone, tsk tsk tsk—even Starry Abyss, I must say, I’m quite taken by you."

"Don’t give me that feminine gaze," Li Aozi said coldly. "Men cannot be defined."

"Alright, alright, the last undefined, unseen, untouchable being was an Evil God."

The blue-haired woman licked her lips, turned her head, the Mysterious cursed blade floating beside her. She crossed her arms, looking at the Knights of the High Table downed by dispersed timelines, sneering:

"So, these are your enemies?"

"Kill them, and you can leave," Li Aozi said calmly.

"Heyyy~~~"

The blue-haired woman dragged out the end of her word, her voice midrange, robust yet laid-back, matching the first impression given by her appearance:

"I say, young man, with your high charm, you’re using Starry Abyss to do this? Aren’t you afraid I’ll find it troublesome and just walk away?"

"Ascenders of the Kappa Rank and above, having borne the blessings and curses of the ascendant and descendant, have equivalent debts to Starry Abyss. Only by completing the calls from Starry Abyss can the curse gradually be alleviated."

Li Aozi said flatly:

"The curse aura on you isn’t dense; either it’s because you have enough companions from the ’Destroyer’ path to disperse the curse, or you frequently complete tasks from Starry Abyss. I’m not worried you can’t accomplish it."

Once said, the blue-haired woman immediately regarded Li Aozi seriously, eyes narrowed:

"You... even without being in Starry Abyss, you’re this informed?"

Matters related to Submergence Starry Abyss involve the Pathway and Underwater Abyss Team’s interests. Dominions do regulate such information to bolster narrative supremacy.

This young one, already physically ascended, hides his porcelain skin, showing no hint of his species. He uses gravitational waves to convey speech, with only an aura of a ’Sovereign’ path and Iota (9), showing no other characteristics.

He doesn’t resemble anyone from the mainstream groups of the three major narratives at all.

Even when the blue-haired woman stared, Li Aozi showed no fear, meeting her gaze.

"...Hmph."

The blue-haired woman grinned, taking a swig, then laughed heartily:

"Interesting, truly interesting! The task Layer Abyss assigned isn’t boring at all, to meet someone like you."

Saying this, she took another swig, showing disregard for cosmic physical laws—no, or rather.

The Curse of Distortion from the Border Abyss surrounding her constantly helped her warp the physics around her.

"You’re not bad at all—I’m Qinlan Jiuge, work with the Underwater Abyss Team in the Empire, I can recommend you to enter the Empire."

Qinlan, drinking, her flushed face, spoke with Li Aozi, gesturing toward the Knights of the High Table:

"These, right?"

"Yes."

Qinlan aimed her fingertip at the Knights of the High Table, now almost mere dots, and flicked it in the void.

Then she turned to Li Aozi and said:

"All done."

Li Aozi lifted his gaze, watching as the eight Iota (9) Knights of the High Table transformed into meteors, plunging into the sun. Under immense gravity and high pressure, their bodies disintegrated, turning into dust scattered in the cosmos.

But not everything was destroyed.

Before they were consumed by the sun, their lives were extinguished by Qinlan’s flicking strength. The traits left on them burst outward, surging towards Li Aozi.

Li Aozi opened his arms and silently accepted everything that belonged to him.

[Your arcane energy "Pegasus Wings" has been restored]

[Your arcane energy "Canyue" has been restored]

[Your arcane energy...]

[You have acquired a new form switch - "Li Aozi" human form.]

[You have permanently removed your void infection and acquired void antibodies (remaining valid for 299 years)]

[Passive Skill "Sleepless Heart" activated! Mental defense line as firm as a mountain.]

[Hint: After mental defense line detection, conflicting parts have appeared in your memory. If not integrated, a second personality might emerge.]

After a series of system notifications, Li Aozi relaxed all over, and the long-empty arcane energy sequence inside his Power Pod was filled again.

Moreover, his personality, preferences, faction, identity, and some habits all returned.

"This is my complete form."

Li Aozi clenched his fist.

The five years on the Dragon Satellite, although the gains far exceeded the outputs, were not mostly spent from Li Aozi’s subjective perspective, experiencing upgrades or everyday life did not exist.

But now, with the return of all arcane energy and traits, the marks the void had imprinted on him vanished, and for a long time in the future, he would be exempt from the pressure of the void side.

That’s all for the later story.

After leaving combat, Li Aozi’s mana quickly recovered, and the forcibly elevated main attributes plummeted back to normal values, the layers of protection and blessings from the Starry Abyss to him also instantly disappeared.

"Oh? So that kind of ability is elevated in combat."

Qinlan propped his chin, curiously said:

"It’s really an innovative ability, being able to continuously strengthen oneself in combat, such a pathway is the first time I’ve seen it — hey, little brother, won’t you introduce yourself?"

"You may leave now." Li Aozi politely said, "You don’t need to take any trouble for me."

"Oh?" Qinlan squinted: "I say little brother, do you know how much effort ordinary people have to make to see me, entrust me with tasks? Even a head of state has to submissively seek our favor."

"No worries, I’m not seeking." Li Aozi said: "I don’t have the ability to kill this many Iota rank, nor the means to destroy their Void armor, so I had no choice but to call upon the Starry Abyss for help, thank you very much, I will visit your house in the Empire Commonwealth in the future."

"No, no, no! That’s not the point."

Qinlan spread his hands, saying:

"Little brother, you’re already Iota (9), you should know that if you don’t Submerge the Starry Abyss, as a Starry Abyss life, you absolutely cannot further release your potential to ascend to Kappa (10), right?"

"No need to take trouble on my part, I don’t need to follow the Underwater Abyss Team."

Li Aozi politely said.

"Not going with the group?"

Qinlan raised a light blue eyebrow, as if hearing a joke, and immediately laughed:

"Pfft... pfft haha... hahaha!"

Qinlan covered his abdomen with one hand, laughing exaggeratedly:

"Are you kidding me? The Sovereign pathway is originally the one with the fewest people, if you submerge alone, you must endure the complete curse — do you know what that’s like?"

Qinlan’s face twisted into a knot as he laughed, exuding a sinister, nauseating distortion aura, just staring at it could make people dizzy, getting a little closer would render normal logical thinking inoperative, as if even the neural signals within the body were twisted, causing involuntary convulsions, arms curling inward and bending, as if turning a living person into a tape measure!

"A complete curse is a thousand, ten thousand times more terrifying than this."

Qinlan’s voice resounded in the heart, Li Aozi at once felt a bout of chest tightness and nausea.

"The Border Abyss’s curse — Distortion. Fully engraving the concept of ’Distortion’ onto you, as if in the process of programming, every segment of code in your body is forcibly embedded with such a distortion command, simultaneously, this is also the source of your power, the Starry Abyss uses the distortion curse to allow you to exhibit powers beyond ordinary in different Starry Abysses without being excluded."

Qinlan said softly:

"Now do you understand? Such a curse is based on the pathway, and only with the pathway can it be distributed to each person, only this way, can you ensure the safety of the group while ensuring everyone’s strength increase."

"You’re right, but I have my own Underwater Abyss Team."

Li Aozi said:

"Thank you for telling me, Miss Qinlan Jiuge."

"Call me Miss, I’m only 69."

"Alright, Miss Qinlan Jiuge."

Li Aozi said:

"From now on, there’s nothing for you, you can leave."

"Is that so... then, your name?" Qinlan folded her arms, her blue eyes intriguingly fixated on Li Aozi: "Are you afraid to reveal your real name to the Empire Commonwealth people, fearing being documented by the Philosopher King?"

Li Aozi raised his hand reassuringly:

"You’re joking, the Philosopher King’s wisdom is incredibly great—"

"Then why are you so guilty not daring to tell me your real name?"

Qinlan Jiuge tapped her fingers, smiling wide:

"Is it because you clearly know that your image, name, and this power are exceedingly rare in the Layer Abyss, and as long as the Philosopher King connects to the cosmic nerve network to glance, you could be tracked — right?"
