Droplet? Seeing the Fog Whale's new state, Ange's heart skipped a beat, thinking of something, and he stepped a few times in the void.
No response. Ange scratched his head, remembering that he was still in the Star God state, without a soul, and unable to perform the King's Arrival.
Ange bent over, arched his body, and silently roared, his body immediately surged with black crystals - the Ultimate Transformation: Black Crystal Skeleton.
Quickly, Ange transformed into a Chaotic Black Crystal Skull, but it wasn't over yet. A large number of star-like dots quickly emerged inside the black crystal body, slowly rotating to achieve a stable state - the Master of Stars!
Negris and the others all widened their eyes: "Star Skeleton? How is this possible?"
Not only them, even the Fog Whale was shocked. If it had eyeballs, they would probably pop out at this moment: "Incremental body? How is it possible? A third incremental body?!"
Ange swiftly stepped a few times - King's Arrival. As the wave of King's Arrival spread, Ange quickly sensed something, but this sensing was soon interrupted by the Fog Whale's movement.
However, Ange had already gotten the answer he wanted and swiftly used the Chaos Mist to manifest some water.
From the earlier King's Arrival, Ange discovered several points. He could establish a sense using King's Arrival and the Chaos Mist of the Fog Whale.
In essence, Chaos Mist can be viewed as the corpse of a God Star. As long as it's a corpse, it can establish a connection through King's Arrival and be controlled.
The Monarch's Primordial Body comes this way, collecting Chaos Mist in the Boundless Space Hole also relies on this ability, but this must be established when the Chaos Mist is without a master.
The Fog Whale's mist has a master, Ange's attempt was quickly interrupted, and it's estimated that the Monarch tried too but with no effect.
However, Ange did not give up, manifesting some pure water and then transferring Tom and Lorca's consciousness onto it.
"Notify me if you sense anything," Ange said to the droplets condensed by the distant Fog Whale.
Tom and Lorca, though a bit confused and unprepared, still earnestly executed Ange's command.
As soon as Ange finished speaking, the black crystals on his body receded, restoring him to the Star God's Body.
"Thirty-eight seconds, was it because the time limit was up or did you actively revert?" Negris, who had been silently timing, hurriedly asked.
"Reverted," Ange replied.
"Why? Isn't the Star Body better for dealing with it? Oh, and why can you transform into the Star Body? Did the Old Immortal give you his fingers again?" Negris asked sourly.
Clearly, I am the pet... ugh, clearly, I'm the one who's known him longer, the old buddy, yet the Old Immortal gives all the good stuff to Ange, he's so biased.
Ange shook his head: "Dark Crystal Transformation, incremental, mine."
"You're just transformed into a Black Crystal Skeleton, and the star-like dots inside are your increment?" Negris interpreted.
Ange nodded.
"Can it really be like this? Using an Ultimate Transformation body to accommodate increments from your original body?" Negris asked, shocked.
Ange nodded.
"Then why change back? Transform into the Star Skeleton and beat it," Negris said.
The Master of Stars is the pinnacle of current battle power; Ange can have the Master's battle power just by transforming into a Black Crystal Skeleton, consuming less for more power, so why change back?
Ange shook his head: "Carrying increment, laborious."
"Uh, so transforming into a Black Crystal Skeleton isn't laborious, but carrying the increment from your original body is? Is that it?" Negris asked.
Ange nodded.
"So, doesn't that mean you can't just transform into a Black Crystal Skeleton, because once you do, your original body's increment will come in, making it more laborious for you?" Negris asked.
Ange nodded.
Negris couldn't help but laugh and cry; this was supposed to be good news, but it rendered the Dark Crystal Transformation unusable. Originally, with Ange's current mental strength, he could maintain the Black Crystal Skeleton indefinitely, but with increment inputs, he can't sustain it anymore, which is equivalent to losing a form.
Ange rarely transforms into a Black Crystal Skeleton, because in terms of body strength, the Black Crystal Skeleton is not much different from the Star God's Body, yet it lacks the virtualization ability of the Star God's Body, unable to move long distances.
Only with skills that require a connection to the soul, like the King's Arrival, does Ange need to transform into a skeleton.
Now, unable to transform into a Black Crystal Skeleton, Ange can only retreat to transforming into the Lord of Mourning, but the Lord of Mourning's range of King's Arrival is far less than that of the Chaotic Black Crystal.
However, whether it's the Lord of Mourning or the Chaotic Black Crystal, facing the Fog Whale's body that's millions of kilometers long is insignificant.
After saying all this, Ange still restored to the Star God's Body and drew out a Compressed Space Ball for continuous shooting.
In the droplet state, the Fog Whale moved much faster, and as soon as a Compressed Space Ball was shot, all the droplets quickly cleared a path for the ball's trajectory, causing the Compressed Space Ball to fail to absorb energy and eventually collapse itself.
It was effective! The Fog Whale, greatly encouraged, continued to mimic the technique, its surfaces constantly flashing to avoid Ange's Compressed Space Ball, while other areas enveloped forward.
In its droplet state, the Fog Whale's speed increased significantly, so Ange had to be more careful to avoid being surrounded, which further reduced his window for steady shooting.
After entangling for a while, a flash emerged from the Fog Whale's body, and upon seeing Ange, it asked: "What happened? I can't see your ball anymore."
It turned out that the Monarch, having noticed no Compressed Space Ball had pierced through the Fog Whale's body, thought something was wrong and quickly came back to check.
Ange didn't speak, just shot a few Compressed Space Balls. The Monarch immediately understood the reason, turned around, and said: "Throw it toward me."
A flash, the Monarch plunged into the Fog Whale's body, and although Ange didn't understand, he still threw a Compressed Space Ball at the Monarch's position.
The Fog Whale dodged as usual, making way for the ball's trajectory, thereby exposing the Monarch within the Fog Whale's body.
The Monarch raised a hand and tapped in front of the Compressed Space Ball, instantly bouncing it away.
This kind of bounce was very irregular; the Fog Whale couldn't pre-capture the trajectory, so it couldn't dodge, allowing the Compressed Space Ball to plunder sufficient energy to sustain itself.
But soon, the Fog Whale found a way to cope, as the bounced space ball still traveled in a straight line, clearing the path behind it would suffice.
Moreover, the Monarch couldn't retrieve the Chaos Mist attached to the space ball, and after the ball collapsed, the residual Chaos Mist dispersed into the void and quickly returned to the Fog Whale's body.
Realizing that the effect wasn't good, the Monarch flashed back to Ange's side after a few flash jumps, asking: "What to do?"
This was one of the few times the Monarch asked Ange for advice on combat; this Fog Whale was more troublesome than any opponent. All combat methods had little effect on it, aside from dragging it out slowly, was there any other way?
Ange scratched his head in frustration, unable to come up with a new method when Tom and Lorca simultaneously said: "Sensed something, I sensed it."
Of course, it was just Tom speaking; Lorca made some 'gluglu' sounds, but the meaning was consistent with Tom's.
