I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1525 - 1078: What If We Changed Things Up?
"Reverse it." Zheng Yichen commanded the Star-devouring Evil Spirit.
The pitch-black body of the Star-devouring Evil Spirit began to change. The numerous ’insects’ that made up its form started to undergo a new transformation.
The structure became more compact, no longer just a piled-up shape, but more like a combination of cells, losing its previously intangible terror.
The color of its surface also brightened up. Whereas its previous form might recall a ’Dark Forest,’ now it conjured the ’brightness’ of a Star Cluster.
The room’s atmosphere, once filled with a curse-like presence, transformed into one of blessing. Thus, the reversal feature of the Evil God fragment could manifest powerful effects at any time.
The cursed Evil Spirit forcibly transformed into a Spirit of Blessing.
However, after the reversal, the combat power of the Star-devouring Evil Spirit was affected. It originally specialized in attacking the Star God, leveraging curses and Malicious Erosion.
With the reversal, it lost these traits, and thus its specialized attack properties, though it still had some special targeting abilities—like against itself.
The reversed Star-devouring Evil Spirit had special attack properties against its previous form.
"Hmm... after appraisal, the Evil Spirit state is still more useful." Zheng Yichen nodded, retracting the Star-devouring Evil Spirit.
The reversed Star-devouring Evil Spirit is more auxiliary, related to the stars. More specifically, it’s... the Blessing of Stars.
It sounds like something that would drop SAN points, but such is the blessing of the Star-devouring Evil Spirit. After all, its normal state is that of a cursed Evil Spirit.
For now, the Blessing of Stars is just to be observed. Although the Star-devouring Evil Spirit is the strongest among the spiritual bodies he holds, its power doesn’t truly reach the level of a ’Star Cluster.’
At most, it can, under the illumination of a Star Cluster, create a blessing symbolic of Star God Power. After Zheng Yichen’s soul control adjusts its power, it can indeed enhance the strength of this blessing.
This will make its symbolism stronger, even to some extent transcend mere ’symbolism,’ provided the stars are ’close enough.’
That’s enough. Zheng Yichen crafted such an Evil Spirit primarily to deal with the Star God. It only needs to fulfill the essence of an Evil Spirit.
"When will you make something better?" Lillian rubbed her arms, still uncomfortable with the Star-devouring Evil Spirit, even having seen its reversed state.
"Isn’t this good enough?" Zheng Yichen raised an eyebrow lightly, retorting, "A blend of curse and blessing, switchable at will when needed, and can even deliver a wide-ranging Blessing of Stars. How amazing?"
"And it can also deliver a wide-ranging Star Curse, right?"
"That’s not important. What’s important is that I’m about to go on a killing spree." Zheng Yichen stretched his body: "Wanna join the battle?"
"I can handle ordinary enemies, but not when there are too many Star Gods." Lillian wasn’t concerned about Zheng Yichen’s ominous words.
They understood this world’s basic situation. The natives didn’t behave humanly, so Zheng Yichen’s talk of a killing spree was sensible.
Their Father God hadn’t shared much more intel about the Dusk, probably due to similar concerns. The Luminous Divine type has Father God keeping it in check, so there won’t be major issues.
But what about the other divine types?
The Star God in this world treats the Dusk Territory like a fish pond, manipulating the Boundary Breaker’s core, attempting to become akin to a Boundary Breaking Faction or a Devouring Faction.
It’s extremely unreasonable.
Ahn Ke’s voice came through the comms: "Remember to gather a sample of the native humans for me later. I detected special radiation in the Star God’s samples. These radiations impact individual genetic factors."
"No problem." Zheng Yichen readily agreed.
Tanshia Firlo sighed: "Fosterer, every world you encounter is so distressing..."
"I’ve grown accustomed to it." Zheng Yichen smiled, reaching out to stroke the small white dragon’s head.
Lin Yaoyao, standing aside, also felt a bit helpless: "We can’t help Brother Chang Qing with the enemies this time."
They intended to come over and assist, but this situation was similar to before. The high-level scenarios went so high that, despite their efforts, they couldn’t genuinely intervene in such elite affairs.
"Hahaha, don’t worry. You’ll definitely have fighting opportunities later. I’ve recently mastered many new techniques; for now, you should return."
Zheng Yichen said as he retrieved the Firmament Wheel. This time, he didn’t wear it as a ring but instead used it as a bracelet. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Leaving his private room, Zheng Yichen noticed that all the natives were gone.
Zheng Yichen asked a Dusk mercenary: "Truly no special natives?"
"At least we haven’t encountered any." The Dusk mercenary replied somewhat helplessly: "The natives of this world are influenced by the will of the Star God. Even if they retain self-awareness, they don’t behave like people from other worlds. Once your battle with the Star God ended, they all fled."
The natives of this world, whether to outsiders or among themselves, weren’t liked. The natives seemed totally oblivious.
Yet, they still leaned towards the Star God, with many coming to watch the spectacle, some even taunting them.
"Are you going to deal with those Star Gods this time?"
"Of course, I’ve already tested them, and now it’s time to get to the main issue."
The Dusk mercenary who asked nodded and didn’t press any further, instead, they joined their companions to discuss something.
They didn’t plan to leave immediately but wanted to see what impact Zheng Yichen could have on this world. If he could put pressure on the Star Gods, they would send the message out and then take what they wanted.
Being tricked by the natives wasn’t a first for them, but this world’s situation made them particularly frustrated, and they needed to regain their momentum.
Standing at the entrance of the Dusk Territory, Zheng Yichen moved his body a bit, then stepped out, disappearing the moment he left the Dusk Cathedral.
The Star Servants closely watching the Dusk Cathedral were shocked: "Where’s he gone? Find him quickly!!"
"No need to search, I’m here." An ominous voice reached them.
One Star Servant swung his astral blade with all his might towards the direction of the voice.
Zheng Yichen lightly flicked his fingers, shattering the astral blade in the Star Servant’s hand, and the splintered starlight scattered in all directions, piercing the body of the Star Servant who couldn’t dodge in time.
Holding a fragment of the astral blade, Zheng Yichen felt its texture; the fragment disappeared, revealing it as a unique metal.
Since it’s a new element, just throw it to the Virtual World’s core and let it decompose and absorb it.
Grabbing a surviving God Minion, Zheng Yichen stared at him and asked, "Where are your Star Gods? In the sky?"
"Cough cough—The Star Gods have always been watching you, there’s no escape for you!!" The God Minion, with a hint of starlight in his eyes, coughed twice and glared with anger and unwillingness at Zheng Yichen.
If only he were stronger, he could eliminate Star God’s enemies.
He’s a fanatic.
Zheng Yichen wasn’t in a hurry; he had collected the samples and just needed to wait for Ahn Ke’s research results.
It didn’t take long; Ahn Ke soon had news. She said through the communication, "Though they are descendants of the Star Gods, it makes them more susceptible to the Star Gods’ influence.
Their constitution struggles to resist the Star Gods’ influence. They can be regarded as the Star Gods’ vessels. The samples you’ve collected are a bit limited, collect more, and I can attempt to research a virus against them."
The unique constitution has poorer resistance to viruses compared to a balanced constitution.
And the natives of this world, as descendants of the Star Gods, are affected by the radiation of the Star God Power, much like the relationship between plants and the sun.
The features of the Star God descendants give them excellent potential, but the direction of their growth is almost fixed.
They can only grow stronger towards ’Star Gods’, but whether they can become Star Gods afterward is a different matter, as planets can devour each other.
It’s not uncommon in the cosmos for many planets to be captured by stars and crushed by the stars’ gravity, becoming part of the star itself.
"Don’t worry, there will be plenty of samples later." Zheng Yichen looked to another Star Servant, who showed a resentful expression.
"You are the prettiest here, so you will do." Zheng Yichen walked towards them, probably misunderstood, and the resentful Star Servant showed a disdainful expression.
Without arguing, Zheng Yichen reached out and grabbed the other’s cheeks, and the reversed power was applied to this Star Servant.
After the fishing rod was transformed into a God’s Core, Zheng Yichen could use the reversal power like this, but this use has limited effect on powerful beings.
It can be effective, but the problem is that completing the reversal requires time, during which the opponent has enough time to resist and break the reversal’s impact.
This is only used on a suppressed enemy, to render them incapable of resistance, or on entities far weaker than oneself, as it’s not very convenient to use in battle.
Attribute reversal made this Star Servant convulse all over, eyes turning white, the star power on them rapidly transformed, but attribute reversal is basically ineffective on neutral attributes.
For example, water attribute, fire attribute, wind attribute types of power.
As long as this power is a pure single attribute, attribute reversal is pointless. Fire reversed is still fire, it won’t turn into water. This is attribute reversal, not attribute conversion.
The Star God’s power on the Star Servant’s body itself is considered a neutral attribute, but once this power mingles with non-neutral components, it becomes like Zheng Yichen’s Black Light and White Light.
Although it’s still Light System Power, it’s no longer a single type of Light System Power.
The Star God’s power on the Star Servant strengthens the influence of the Star Gods over them, allowing the will of the Star Gods to further prevail over the Star Servant.
So, what about changing the Star God’s power on them through attribute reversal?
"Ah ah ah—" The frenzied Star Servant ignored Zheng Yichen and suddenly charged towards the remaining Star Servants, causing a bloody slaughter and power devouring.
"So they are indeed food?"
