Stellar Projection is the projection of Star Power within the body. It moves faster and covers more distance, but its strength certainly can't compare to the main body. In a battle between two Masters of Stars, projecting the Stellar Projection directly in front of the enemy is like offering up a softer part of yourself for others to hit.

But King Firlie doesn't care about this, because the opponent is just a Starborn; even if he brings his face closer, the opponent can't hit it.

However, when his Stellar Projection arrived in front of the Starborn, he found the opponent's form flickering, and within a few flickers, it actually transformed from a Star God's Body into a Stellar Skeleton, with a fist swinging towards him.

Previously, when Ange pushed out the Star Arm, he used a Molten Fire Avatar without impurities and only changed his hands. When the Guman Serpent's vine whipped down, it directly burst the Molten Fire Avatar hiding behind the Star Arm. King Firlie never expected there would be a Starborn capable of transforming into a Stellar Skeleton.

In his shock, the Stellar Skeleton's punch landed on King Firlie's Stellar Projection, blowing its head apart, with the remaining part retreating back.

With a single punch alarming the entire audience, the Stellar Skeleton turned towards the Guman Serpent, let out a Soul Howl, then transformed back to a Star God's Body and Soul Shifted away.

The entire process was brief, equivalent to a Starborn suddenly rushing over to spit in King Firlie's face, then transforming into a Stellar Skeleton, punching his Stellar Projection into pieces, then howling at the Guman Serpent before finally running away. The whole process was inexplicable.

"What... what's the matter with him? What did he yell at you for?" King Firlie was both angry and puzzled.

He hit me, also threw a Lightning Spear at me, but in the end, he howled at the Guman Serpent. Why does it feel like the Guman Serpent is his target, and I was just collateral?

This made King Firlie even angrier.

The Guman Serpent was also baffled: "He seems to mean for me to wait, and later he'll call people to come and fight me."

"Who is he?" King Firlie asked.

"Don't you know him? The guy named Ange who stole the Star Arm, a citizen of the so-called Undead King." The Guman Serpent said in frustration.

King Firlie laughed angrily: "He can transform into a Stellar Skeleton, and you think he might be a citizen of another Stellar Skeleton? You've known him for so long, and have you always thought he was a Starborn?"

The Guman Serpent was frustrated because of this; after all this time, it seems he didn't even figure out what the enemy was, and they were just playing with him.

King Firlie was also frustrated; he originally thought he had two Masters of Stars on his side, and the opponent only had one — two against one, the advantage was mine. I didn't expect them to transform, making it two against two now.

With one who can transform, how do you know there's not a second, or a third, or even more who can transform?

And can transform into a Master of Stars? How is that even done?

The Gemez Fortress projection of Star Power has taken tens of thousands of years to nurture a Star Zombie, with enormous losses along the way. But this Starborn just forcefully turned into a Stellar Skeleton right in front of their eyes, which means his main body is likely nearby.

A powerful entity watching nearby, yet they were unaware. Just thinking about it is terrifying.

The more King Firlie thought about it, the more he panicked and didn't dare to stay any longer. He left a sentence and chased in the direction of the Star Zombie. There was no subordinate relationship or network between him and the Star Zombie, so he could only communicate face-to-face.

After he left, one of the Puppet Serpents wiped a nervous sweat from its brow. If it weren't for this unexpected event, King Firlie's next target would have been it.

The Puppet Serpent that Ange painstakingly inserted inside couldn't let King Firlie kill it, so Soul Shifting over to land that punch succeeded in diverting their attention.

The Guman Serpent watched King Firlie's departing figure, worriedly glancing at the Celestial Star Surface. At this moment, the Celestial Star Surface was calm, but a... no, two, two individuals that give it a tremendous headache were lurking. Now that King Firlie had left, who would help it control the enemy?

...

The Star Zombie returned to the Abyss Core and checked carefully, finding nothing had changed, except for a little more dust, which was reasonable since he had been away for so long — accumulating a bit of dust was normal.

The immense pressure of the Abyss Core erased many traces, even things like breath couldn't be preserved. The piece of flesh on the little zombie's finger that burnt to ash would have been discovered in a normal environment, but here it was crushed into 'gray'.

If this thing were destroyed, he wouldn't be able to receive the projection of Star Power. With his current abilities, he couldn't generate an increment, which means that without the replenishment of Star Power, after exhausting the Star Power in him, he would regress into a regular Black Crystal Zombie.

Fortunately, fortunately.

But just after finally being at ease for a while, King Firlie arrived and told him about Ange's transformation into a Stellar Skeleton, making his previously relaxed heart hang in the air again.

If Ange can transform into a Stellar Skeleton, that means he can quickly travel between the two places, then transform and descend here, meaning Ange may very well have been here.

...

Meanwhile, Ange returned to the Heathrow Plane near the body of the Gray Divine Star. Besides the Little Zombie and the Monarch, everyone else had already arrived here in advance.

When he saw Ange return, Negris quickly asked: "What are you doing? It's very dangerous. Aren't you afraid the Guman Serpent will slap you?"

Ange left suddenly, with no time to explain to everyone the reason. Negris and Anthony quickly projected themselves onto him, watching the whole process, but still failing to understand why he took the risk.

The Guman Serpent still maintained the state of its body being separated, ready at any moment to whip down with a vine, yet Ange still took the risk. Very strange, it was not typical of Ange's character.

Ange said, "Puppet Serpent, mine."

Negris had an epiphany: "That Puppet Serpent is the one with the parasite?"

Turns out that's the case. Back when they infiltrated the tumor on the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms, they relied on that Puppet Serpent, and it turns out Ange went back to save his Puppet Serpent.

With the reason clarified, Negris was relieved, turning to Durken's location.

At this moment, Durken and Xisluo, along with others, were restoring the pit structure used for transmitting Star Power. The pit's structure wasn't very complex, a single layer, but the inscriptions were intricate.

However, everyone present was either a King of Alchemy, a Wise Man, or a Mystical Scholar, so as long as the data was complete, no inscriptions were too complex for them.

With the most complete data brought back by Negris, everyone quickly restored the pit.

"The device is complete, but it's not made on an Abyss Core, so it can't bear the transmission of Star Power. However, we can try it first and see if we can sense anything. I'll go first. My lord, please protect me," volunteered Durken, preparing to be the first test subject.

Ange shook his head, refusing Durken's plan for adventure, and first inserted some small animals, which quickly scorched.

Seeing this, Ange took out a Black Crystal Skeleton and placed it into the pit.

This time there was no reaction. The Black Crystal Skeleton didn't get hot, and the pit wasn't damaged, as if no reaction occurred.

"Could it be there's no soul?" Ursman said.

Ange nodded, directly putting his thought into the Black Crystal Skeleton, manifesting a clump of Black Crystal Spirit. The moment the Black Crystal Spirit took shape, with a boom, the entire pit exploded.

Ange controlled the Black Crystal Skeleton to stand up, somewhat bewilderedly saying, "I hit... a wall."
