Chapter 884 - 428: Armor of War Misfortune
"Yes, this is Lady Hedaya, I can’t be mistaken..."
Othella covered her face with both hands, squatting down with a sob.
Zoe’s ruby-like eyes were flooded with the orange-red starlight in front of her. She had already received gifts from Hedaya, and at this moment, she could resonate with her power even more.
She took a deep breath, her skin turned wheat-colored, her physique grew similar to the Horned Race, and the Light of the Star Soul condensed into horns on both sides of her forehead, entering the Flaming Bull form.
Centered on her, the Light of the Star Soul flowed out, conveying across the space towards the Blazing Flame Star.
The new pattern of Hedaya’s Star Core flickered regularly, absorbing the starlight and spreading it around.
The starlight was like being inhaled and exhaled by the crimson star, transforming into her own power.
The walls of the cave had already shown signs of slight Star Crystalization.
Li Ang frowned slightly, feeling that there was something different about the Star Soul before him, but he couldn’t pinpoint it.
Anna held his hand and whispered, "The constraints placed by the Creator are gone."
Yes. Li Ang immediately understood.
Previously, whenever a Star Soul exerted power, there was a formation of divine light containing profound runes, like ribbons, but now around Hedaya’s star, those runes were nowhere to be seen.
They should be the "Creation Formula," which facilitated the process of extracting a part of the Great Spirit from Nebis, solidifying it into the form of a Star Beast, and inscribing within whatever they desired, like the humanoid and beast appearance of a Star Soul, combat techniques, etc.
The current state of Hedaya indicates that she has broken free from the constraints of the Deus people.
Li Ang glanced at Anna’s panel; the Creation Formula was still her Energy Source, but now she had the Dragon Blood and Earth System, making the settings from the Deus people seem insignificant in comparison.
"But, how could this be?" Meimei stared at the reborn Hedaya, puzzled.
Like her, Meluna was also somewhat confused.
"Star Souls have a combat technique for rebirth after disintegration," said the white-haired girl, "but that’s only if the Star Core is intact. If their power is strong, the Star Core is hard to destroy."
She shook her head: "But if even the Star Core is destroyed, the Star Soul is truly slain; I’ve never seen an example of resurrection."
"You too?" Li Ang asked Meluna.
The black-haired girl nodded.
"However, the world you’ve crafted is quite miraculous; I’ve been surprised to the point of numbness." Meimei added.
Li Ang found that many present shared similar views; although Hedaya’s return was certainly good news, it’s hard to be too surprised in a place where even the Six Dragons have nested.
The Monster Breeding Ground probably absorbed the part of the World Spirit that constituted Hedaya in some way that they couldn’t perceive.
Meimei whispered: "Even witches can’t construct a space like this. Regardless of where you got the Ancient Secret Technique, possessing it means you’re undoubtedly destined."
After the previous incident, with Meluna’s affirmation, Li Ang and Meimei confirmed his identity as a "Special Savior" as well, yet the future wasn’t smooth, as all past calculations had failed, so experiences could serve as references but were not the path Nebis desired.
The world itself, or perhaps the Creator, what does it want, no one knows.
"So," Meluna looked at the much younger version of herself, "you should also be like me with Li Ang..."
"Get lost." The white-haired girl blushed with a teasing anger.
"Ahem."
Li Ang took two steps forward: "Since Hedaya has revived, it’s necessary to help her awaken sooner, thereby adding a major support to the Star Flower Travel Corps."
Unlike other Star Souls that required Zoe’s invocation to appear as support, Hedaya was more thoroughly a part of the Star Flower Travel Corps than even Anna, being a Star Soul born from the ship, she was definitely one of their own.
"What, what should we do?" Othella’s voice trembled, but her determination was strong.
"Replenish with the power originally belonging to her, in reverse."
Li Ang looked at Zoe, and the girl, understanding his intent, took out a Pure Star Crystal.
"What is this?" The blue-haired beast-eared maiden had never seen such a material.
[Pure Star Crystal - Fire]
[Seemingly harboring the world’s first fire, once blossomed it can fiercely blaze, an exquisite crystal that can incinerate all into silence]
[Tier: 9]
[Spirituality: Stores High-tier Fire Spirit. Concept of eternal inextinguishability]
[Purpose: Equipment Creation at Treasure Level, Alchemy, Casting Materials, Energy Source Core, Domain Construction... ]
On Lupus Island, when Hedaya perished dragging Horarius along, the moment before everyone left the Hephaestia Star Palace, Zoe had already taken away all the Pure Star Crystals she saw.
"Ah, there should indeed be this." Dorothy said: "After all, the previous Star Souls all showed them to us."
"But not all." Li Ang replied.
Jenoside probably couldn’t condense such materials, used for annihilating Star Souls, lacking this function is reasonable.
As for Diana, she bestowed a blessing on the Eternal Summer, perhaps always being rather weak, and was injured by the Imperial Armor eight hundred years ago, she didn’t condense Pure Star Crystals.
Entities like Eden, pulling out even one wasn’t easy, though Baal could, it’s not something to hand over lightly to others.
"Why do I feel that this piece is stronger than the previous ones?" Andasu squinted slightly, staring at the gemstone made his eyes hurt from the firelight.
"Yes, this is a level 9 material, with the nature of a solidified concept."
Li Ang had seen it before.
In recent days, while crafting equipment, he sorted through materials one by one, finally realizing that although there were some impressive items among the stored ones, they weren’t enough to form a proper combination.
