Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton-Chapter 1978 - 1539: Using His Belongings as a Shield

Everyone immediately understood Anthony’s plan. Ursman said, "You want to set a trap to capture that shadow’s consciousness? But what kind of bait could possibly lure him to risk coming here? If it were me, I’d definitely stabilize the Door Handle, control the situation, and only come in after confirming it’s safe."

Anthony nodded and said, "Exactly, so we need to create a tempting yet urgent situation. For example, we have a God Star here that is about to collapse, and he just happens to come by, allowing him to use this God Star to quickly accept the power transferred from his side."

"We need to create a sense of urgency where if he doesn’t come immediately, the God Star will collapse, leaving him no time to think. And he knows we have a Gray Divine Star." Anthony said.

Ursman suggested, "Using collapse is not a good idea. If it is about to collapse, he might not come in; the risk is too high. Instead, say that Gemez Fortress is attacking the Dark Star you intended to leave for him, forcing him to hurry in and take over; otherwise, the Dark Star would be destroyed."

"Isn’t that scarier than collapse? What if he’s scared of being attacked and doesn’t come in?" Negris questioned.

Ursman insisted, "The Gray Divine Star doesn’t have any increment. He might not want to put his consciousness into an old God Star. These external God Stars shouldn’t be afraid of attacks."

Anthony thought for a moment, agreeing with Ursman’s suggestion: "Alright, let’s go with the attack, my Lord, is that acceptable?"

If an attack is the excuse, then it still has to be Ange; the attacks initiated by the others wouldn’t be enough to make the Dark Star feel threatened. If it’s just a tickling attack, it wouldn’t have any urgency.

"It’s fine, okay." Ange agreed in the Soul Network.

"Okay?" Negris and Anthony mumbled in confusion and peeked out of the boundary, immediately seeing a massive Light Ball not far away, with Star Flame churning on the surface, much like a blazing God Star.

To the left and right, two massive Flame Flows eventually merged into the Light Ball. Without the light of the Flame Flow, the Twin Star Tunnel disappeared as well.

"This...is this gathered from the two God Stars?" Negris questioned shakily.

Ange nodded, explaining that the Twin Star Tunnel could rapidly transfer the power of the two God Stars, channeling energy into the middle, allowing them to immediately converge into a large Light Ball.

This was akin to two God Stars distributing a portion of power to temporarily construct a Dark Star. It had no self-sustaining ability, and once the gravitational binding was released, the Dark Star would collapse immediately.

This was exactly what Anthony needed; only something that could be destroyed at any time qualified as a trap.

Overjoyed, Anthony immediately returned to the boundary and said to the Door Handle, "Door Handle, are you ready? I’ve prepared a gift for you—a Dark Star. Recently, Gemez Fortress sent out a Dark Star to harass us but was defeated by our Lord, who seized its Dark Star Avatar."

"But its Dark Star Avatar is too small to be of use to the Lord, and we’re too weak to control it, so we thought we might as well leave it to you. With a Dark Star as a fulcrum, you could transfer your main body in more quickly." Anthony continued.

"A Dark Star? Really? For me?" The Door Handle asked, both shocked and incredulous.

"Yes, really. Come see for yourself." Anthony said, then opened the Gate of No Boundary.

The Door Handle’s silhouette emerged from the gate, skeptical yet curious. Appearing in human form, identical to his previous appearance.

This indicated that he had not lost any of his memories. If his memories had been plundered through Soul Search, it would be difficult for his appearance to remain consistent, since most often one doesn’t remember their exact looks until they see themselves in a mirror.

Anthony opened the boundary, gesturing as he spoke, "Come, hurry! We’ve captured a Dark Star, but it’s just sitting there without a consciousness. Its body is so small; won’t it be unable to sustain itself? If you don’t come back soon, I’m planning to give it a Divine Star Soul."

Anthony called, leading the way out of the boundary.

The Door Handle, still skeptical, followed Anthony’s silhouette, while behind him, the Gate of No Boundary poured out clumps of Chaos Mist, which quickly dispersed and began to integrate back into the gate.

The Gate of No Boundary is a Space Gate driven by Chaotic Power. If you wish to transport a powerful entity through it, it must have enough power to accommodate such a strong entity; the energy consumption for this is enormous.

In comparison, Ange’s Barrier Rift was more efficient.

When the Door Handle came outside the boundary, he immediately noticed the enormous Light Ball not far away, its dazzling glow, surging energy, and solidified force field caught his attention.

"Such a vigorous Dark Star," the Door Handle couldn’t help but exclaim.

"Vigorous?" Anthony couldn’t help but ask, "Why vigorous? Are vigorous God Stars good?"

"You didn’t know?" The Door Handle looked at Anthony in surprise.

Anthony understandably responded, "I’m not a God Star, how would I know? Are vigorous God Stars good or not?" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Both good and bad; too vigorous, and its lifespan is short. Not vigorous enough...it has no future." The Door Handle paused, speaking with deep meaning.

"Huh? Future? What future could a God Star have? What is the future of a God Star?" Anthony grew even more curious and eagerly asked.

"It’s better if you don’t know." The Door Handle said.

"Say what you have to say, don’t be vague. I’m not a God Star, even if I know, it doesn’t matter. If you keep this up, I’ll have the Lord take it back." Anthony said irritably.

"Uh, fine. The future of a God Star is to strengthen itself; a vigorous God Star has more advantages when consuming other God Stars." The Door Handle commented.

"What? A God Star can devour other God Stars?" Anthony was stunned.

"What’s so shocking about that...oh, I forgot, there are only two God Stars left here, so you wouldn’t have the chance even if you wanted to. Fine." The Door Handle initially thought it wasn’t a big deal but quickly realized the current situation.

Anthony rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "Alright, the Dark Star is yours. Use it as a fulcrum and transfer your main body over quickly."

"Alright..." As soon as the words were spoken, a Star Flame Arrow suddenly shot from the far side of the Dark Star, whizzing past it.

Anthony was shocked, suddenly lunging forward: "Not good, it’s Gemez Fortress’s Star Flame Shooter, hide quickly."

Anthony hadn’t finished speaking when another Star Flame Arrow struck the Dark Star, exploding into a blaze of bright light.

Anthony breathed a sigh of relief, "Luckily, the Dark Star blocked it. Quick, hide in here."

The Door Handle wasn’t nearly as relieved as Anthony. Wasn’t this Dark Star supposed to be for him? How could they use his thing to block the arrows?
