An Insurmountable Chasm
"Hehehe, these ants are quite interesting."
[Greater Demon Graham] confirmed [Mother Goddess's ] movements, and with a sense of relief, expanded the Crimson Domain infinitely, beginning to compete for energy with the endless Mutation ecosystem, and even attempting to directly annihilate Her.
Its Evolution was unexpectedly rapid; within just one hour of entering the Fixed Star, countless consciousnesses were born within its body and were fighting amongst themselves.
Once a single consciousness emerges from this chaotic chaos, it will fully revert to its former power Greater Demon.
"No wonder it could become an external source; this [Mutation] power is very compatible with Devil."
[The Greater Demon Graham] became greedy and wanted to take this power back to digest it.
If you're not greedy, what kind of Devil are you?
At this very moment, the rectangular Laboratory spaceship, which had just fled far away from the edge of the Fixed Star, made a huge detour and plunged headlong into the Fixed Star at 90% of the speed of light!
Countless high-energy flashes exploded around it, creating a terrifying cavity that was impossible to miss.
The sheer awe of traveling at 90% of the speed of light within solid matter is like seeing someone fiddling with a charging socket outside.
[The Greater Demon Graham] hesitated for a moment.
None of the light-speed spaceships He had seen before dared to cruise within Fixed Star at 90% of its speed with shields activated, as the energy consumed every second was equivalent to the total energy released by Fixed Star Burn for hundreds of thousands of years.
It wasn't until the spaceship entered the core of the Fixed Star that [Greater Demon Graham] suddenly realized the strangeness of the ship.
This spaceship possesses certain spatial properties, enabling it to evade most physical matter; the high-energy flash just now was merely a disguise.
If we had tried to force our way in, the Fixed Star would have already disintegrated.
"The struggle of an ant."
[Greater Demon Graham] sighed, and two bloodline Spells emerged from dozens of arms behind him, dark green Curses landing on the aircraft from a great distance.
The spaceship's outer walls instantly decayed and collapsed, and the surface shield burst into blinding sparks, forcibly slowing it down to 10% of the speed of light. The hull appeared to be on the verge of complete destruction.
[Greater Demon Graham] was surrounded by blood-red light, his demonic power as vast as the ocean.
The Crimson Domain suppressed the Mutation in jungle development, slightly causing the Scholar's Laboratory to crash, and simultaneously killing two Survivor tried to take advantage of the chaos to enter the Jump Gate.
If you don't participate in the finals because you're afraid of dying, what's the difference between that and dying from the very beginning?
Too weak, too weak.
[The Greater Demon Graham] was displeased by this.
This was the first time in His long life that He had truly come into contact with the Legendary group of Survivors.
Countless records depict Survivors as incredibly skilled and unpredictable, when in reality they should be old men with exceptional abilities.
But what I saw with my own eyes was how incredibly fragile it was!
The atmosphere of the battlefield froze for a moment; the Laboratory simply continued to fly towards the [Jump Gate] next to [Greater Demon Graham].
Suddenly, a blood-red world appeared out of thin air in the core of this scorching Fixed Star. A figure clad in blood-red armor and wielding a silver-white Zhanmadao emerged from it. His body grew taller as he faced the Sun wind, instantly reaching a height of a thousand meters.
The Demon King's eyes also shimmered with a scarlet blood light, but this blood color was completely different from the abyssal black blood light that Abyss Devil were born with; it was a blood red refined from the pure blood of living beings.
[The Greater Demon Graham] gradually revealed a smile.
"Finally, someone qualified to lick the soles of my feet has appeared."
Song Shige did not answer, because he sensed a causal pull that formed the instant [Greater Demon Graham] spoke.
His third Purple Skill is intuitive perception.
"Don't answer; the cause-and-effect relationship is abnormal."
Su Luo's voice echoed in Song Shige's mind.
From Su Luo's perspective of cause and effect, the instant [Greater Demon Graham] spoke, an invisible flame on the causal level Ignite, its tip wandering in the Void, searching for a target to attach itself to.
His Heartfire was Burn within Song Shige's Blood City, the black and blood red colors appearing quite harmonious, frantically absorbing all this energy to help Song Shige convert his physical strength.
The progression from 28 to Thirty Attributes Attribute predictable, but the moment the Thirty Attributes increased to 31, Song Shige's accumulated stamina passive, which he had been building for an unknown period, couldn't keep up with the increase in strength.
In other words, when standing normally, the physical exertion is greater than the physical recovery, let alone during combat.
That's not just a simple increase in numbers, but a mechanism brought about by a surge in numbers—a super leap in the level of life.
The worst possible escape route has also disappeared. The original escape route was to max out the Free Attribute Points and then Song Shige achieve an invincible moment with a super Talent stack.
But now it seems that Song Shige has no chance of reaching 32; some kind of terrifying restriction has brought the consumption of stamina to an alarming level.
Song Shige, carrying the Blood City which had already taken on the form of a world, stepped forward and slashed at [Greater Demon Graham] with a single blow!
Terrifying light and heat erupted between the two, disrupting the movement of Fixed Stars from within, and the entire galaxy was about to enter a terrifying Sun eclipse.
Deep within the extremely hot and high-pressure core of this Fixed Star, [Greater Demon Graham] calmly and composedly faced the blow.
The silver-white Zhanmadao struck heavily against His exoskeleton armor, leaving only a shallow white mark.
"Good."
[The Greater Demon Graham]'s arm shot out at high speed, directly turning Song Shige into a bloody mist!
Even an attack that has been mitigated by Offense and Defense as One is still something that an ordinary person would have no power to resist, just like facing a great fortune.
Demon Flames erupted from the damaged body tissue, burning it instantly into Ethereal.
"Logically speaking, you have no right to hurt me. But you seem to be a little different."
[Greater Demon Graham] removed his exoskeleton and placed it outside the Jump Gate.
The kilometer-tall exoskeleton changes size depending on the terrain, encasing the outer shell of the less than 100-meter- Jump Gate.
Song Shige emerged from the Blood City, his face pale.
Even a mere 0.5% Attribute is already an insurmountable chasm, capable of turning everything to ashes in the blink of an eye.
Is the problem only with these specific Attribute ranges, or are all subsequent Attributes affected?
"Again."
[The Greater Demon Graham] pointed a finger at Song Shige with Bloodthirst look, then grabbed the circling Laboratory with one arm from a distance.
A Laboratory traveling at the speed of light appears incredibly slow to Him.
In an instant, the creatures in that Laboratory transformed into life essence, becoming [Greater Demon Graham]'s snacks, leaving only a broken little box floating in His palm.
What the hell?
Just then, [Greater Demon Graham] saw a terrifying burst of light erupt from the Jump Gate, so intense that even He could not look directly at it.
From the small box in his hand, a pure black aura emanated, an endless force of attraction appeared, and world-class power of rules emerged.
Even the White Dwarf Body of [Greater Demon Graham] was damaged in an instant, and countless cracks appeared on the surface of his body.
"This is?!"
A hint of human bewilderment flickered in [Greater Demon Graham's ] crimson eyes.
[Black Hole]!
