Chapter 443: Chapter 405 Celestial Divination

A colossal and fierce Platinum King, over five or six meters tall, was grimacing as it dragged its own body. And its wrestling partner was a smooth sphere about fifty centimeters in diameter that moved as sluggishly as an old man at dusk.

Yet, as the orb leisurely strolled around, it still managed to pull a massive Stone Monster behind it, creating a comically absurd spectacle.

Nameless didn’t bother paying attention to his opponent, engrossed in reading the instruction manual despite Naizode already struggling to orbit around him once.

The Liches on the stands, growing impatient, had long since stood up from their seats, shouting loudly.

"Move it!!!"

"Hurry up and move!!!"

"Finish the match already!!!"

No response.

Nameless’s disregard infuriated the Liches, who en masse ran up to the front, ready to enter the fray and mete out a beating, only to plaster themselves against the protective barrier created by the powers of hell. Andrey’s enforcers acted at once, tossing these unruly Liches back to their seats, with the leaders hanging out with the gents and the others on the flagpoles.

Mr. Gravity, calmly leaning back in his seat, mocked these impatient Liches. After the expansion of the Star Domain, confident in his own creation, Mr. Gravity granted his student great leeway.

"We’re going to win anyway, so what if that kid plays around a little longer. That Stone Monster isn’t ever breaking free from Gravity’s binds—it’s just meat on the block, a mere rock."

"Hehe, unless Nameless actively removes the Gravity..."

After three orbits, Naizode realized the gravity of the situation, so the dim-witted stone being turned to look at his opponent.

"Um, Mr. Nameless, could you stop that ball from sticking to me? It’s making it difficult to compete."

In the stands, Mr. Gravity sneered with a cold laugh, "What a blockhead, it’s a competition right now—are you begging for your opponent’s mercy? Fool, we are the cruel and merciless Liches..."

"Sure, I’ll release you from the Gravity’s bind." Nameless’s clear voice left Mr. Gravity speechless in an instant.

"..."

At Naizode’s request, Nameless quickly dispelled the simulated planet’s gravity. In a flash, both the glimmering dust circling the orb and the orb itself lost their luster, turning into a lifeless, stark, and desolate looking planet. However, the dim color lasted only a moment. As Naizode moved his stone fist away, the simulated planet regained its brilliance.

The fight reverted back to the starting phase, Platinum King Naizode facing Nameless with the Star Domain unfolded.

Naizode’s body emitted a buzzing sound akin to an electric drill, which was the Stone Monster’s sound of shame due to intense emotional turbulence within its core. Naizode lifted his head again, looking at Nameless.

"Mr. Nameless, I appreciate your leniency, but a fight is a fight, and I won’t hold back from now on!"

Nameless laughed heartily, unfazed. "Don’t worry about it, I also needed to familiarize myself with the operation of ’disengaging Gravity.’

With their exchange complete, the two were once again poised for confrontation.

Naizode continued his brute-like charge into the Star Domain, roaring as he went.

"Mr. Nameless, witness the power of the Son of the Hillock!"

The bulky Stone Monster cleverly chose his path, making sure to pass through the gaps between those floating celestial bodies.

The Platinum King surged through the gleaming starry river, steadily advancing towards Nameless.

Unobstructed, just avoiding those orbs did the trick!

Overjoyed, Naizode began to gather strength, ready to deliver his killer punch when, at that moment.

"Gravity Capture." A strong pulling force suddenly emerged, veering the straight-charging Naizode off course, causing him to sidestep directly across.

With a slap, the nearest spherical planet embedded itself amidst the Platinum Ore clusters on his back.

With a cramped expression, Naizode once again began orbiting, reluctantly dragged by the lethargic sphere. His tiny eyes, the size of beans, gazed at Nameless, tears nearly spilling out.

"Mr. Nameless..."

Nameless cocked his head in surprise, looking at Naizode, "Is this the power of the Son of the Hillock?"

Mr. Gravity in the stands let out a dismissive chuckle, "Of course there is gravity everywhere in the Star Domain. Close combat? Can’t escape gravity, it’s impossible."

Nameless was intentionally belittling the Stone Monster, luckily for Naizode who had a thick skin and wasn’t discouraged.

"Mr. Nameless, may I have another go? I just wasn’t in good form just now. I’ll definitely show you my power next time!"

"Sure."

Nameless once again let the Stone Monster off the hook.

Andrey the Lich in the stands erupted with immense dissatisfaction, while Mr. Gravity covered his face, consoling himself.

"Nameless is just toying with his opponent. Truly a cunning Lich. It’s okay, it’s equivalent to a practice lesson, as long as we win, that’s what counts. Let him get more familiar for a while."

Naizode returned outside Nameless’s Star Domain. Looking at the faint smile on Nameless’s face, he felt as if his body had gotten heavier. After this match, let’s shed our skin, carrying all this Platinum Ore is a bit tiring.

On his third attempt, Naizode chose a ranged attack.

He rotated his upper body, his stony arms coiling up with power, magic flickering on the Spire Stone Shards on his arms, the light growing blinding. Then, Naizode swung his arms fiercely, sweeping forward.

"Spire Stone Burst!"

The shards from his shoulders shot out, storming into the glowing Star Domain like a torrential downpour.

Gravity might disrupt something as large as a Stone Monster, but with such a large area and dense flying shards, how could gravity block it? Even if it captured most, surely some would slip through.

Naizode thought this as the scene unfolded before him, yet all of it was blocked.

All the shards were stopped, but not by gravity.

Within that Star Domain, near where Nameless stood, there was a faintly visible ring—an asteroid belt made of innumerable tiny particles and debris, holding off the shards’ onslaught.

"Asteroid belt, a defensive measure against ranged attacks."

"Even if a powerful ranged attack breached the asteroid belt, the deviated attack would then suffer the strongest gravity of the entire Star Domain. The gravitational pull exerted by the simulated planets around Nameless." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"An attack completely mastered by gravity would be reflected back with even greater power while being tugged."

"That is Comet Impact."

In Nameless’s hands, the Spire Stone Shards burst forth with intense light, turning into a beam of Light Cannon, slamming into Naizode’s chest.

As Mr. Gravity watched all this, he was recalling the user manual he had written, "The preliminary user guide for simulated galaxies. According to Nameless’s operation flow, it should all be completed soon..."

A few Liches poked their heads out within Mr. Gravity’s field of vision, "So, Mr. Nameless is about to end the battle soon?"

"Should be. I guess he’s probably treating this match as a test for a new prop I assigned. If that’s the case, he’ll likely finish the fight after all the functions have been tested."

"That means there’s one function left."

"Which is the little trick I designed out of boredom, to catch that kid Nameless’s interest."

"Astrologers always like connecting celestial movements with destiny, especially when planets move into specific positions. They believe omens will manifest in the world."

"I must have been muddled by that constantly babbling kid, to have come up with that feature."

"Astrology. When nine planets move into an unusual position, such as in a Nine Stars Chain or a Cross Position."

"The simulated galaxy will release a chaotic, irregular gravity field, causing unstable gravity to interfere with everything around it, thus creating the effect of an ’omen’—a random effect with no logic, perhaps a metaphor for that elusive ’fate’."

"Its name is..."

"Heavenly Movement All Phenomena."
