Chapter 2272: Being Looked Down Upon?
Taro's strength was absolutely not to be underestimated. Under the Sun, Moon, and Star Seals, he could absorb and utilize the vast majority of stellar energy in the starry sky!
Alpha Omega's eyes went wide at this sight. Was any random member of the Bully Gang this fierce?
As the massive energy greatsword slashed towards the fleet, Dante looked utterly annoyed.
(☫￢益￢) "Damn it! Where did this Desolate God Clan bastard come from to mess things up?"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, unleashing an infinite number of Bose Particles!
"Dimensional Descent!"
A large-scale Dimensional Descent was deployed, spanning in front of the fleet. Everything within its range was directly decomposed into pure energy!
Including the mining planet!
Even the Sun Giant Sword that Taro had slashed over was decomposed on the spot, its energy spreading out in all directions!
After a wave of back-and-forth attacks, neither side suffered any damage!
Dante called out from afar:
(☫°᷄д°᷅) "Mr. Jiang, pretty bold, huh? Your identity is exposed and you still haven't run? Waiting right here in District 666?"
"You're that confident you can withstand an encirclement? If you'd scurried back to the Dimensional Gap and hidden away, you might have had a chance to live. The Sacred Law Council can't do much to you there either!"
"But since you're looking for death, don't blame us for being rude. There's no place for you in this starry sky anymore!"
Jiangnan curled his lip disdainfully:
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)☛ "Who the hell are you? Do I know you? What kind of trash dares to shout at me like that?"
"Tell Dichou to roll out and talk to me. A mere Half-Step Star Devourer like you isn't even qualified!"
[From Dante: Grievance Value +1008!]
[From Dante...]
Veins bulged on Dante's forehead. *I'm not qualified?*
That shouldn't be coming from someone who hasn't even reached Star-Breaking!
(ꐦ▼皿▼ꐦ) "See Lord Dichou? You're not worthy! Who am I? You'll find out soon enough!"
Jiangnan's gaze roamed back and forth between Dante and the Creation Beast beneath him.
He was practically drooling. *Ehehe~ So this is a Spirit Medium?*
*Such a huge Creation Beast? Good stuff!*
*I wonder if it's male or female, and if it could mate with the one back home or something.*
(◦՞ʖ̫՞) "Oh~ So it's Dante. You know, people tend to add to their names what they lack the most! For example, if someone is missing earth in the Five Elements, they'd name themselves Wang Guiyao!"
"As for me, I'm missing money, so my name is Jiangnan! You're missing quite a bit, huh? Missing both 'Dan' and 'Ding'? Could it be you're not... up to the task?"
Shengyi: (ﾉ)థжథ) Pft~
Dante: ???
Venus opened her mouth wide, stunned.
(*ﾟ口ﾟ) "Shh! How does he know you're not..."
Before she could finish, Dante clamped his hand over her mouth!
*This dumb woman, why is she blurting everything out?*
[From Dante: Grievance Value +1008!]
Even Atiya beside him glanced over, surprised.
꒰ঌ(ಡ̫ಡ)໒꒱ "Ara~ So..."
Dante roared in fury: (งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง "Jiangnan! You're talking out of your ass! I'll show you right now whether I'm up to the task or not!"
With that, he gripped his greatsword with both hands and pulled out the Sanction Blade.
He took a step forward, his figure vanishing instantly.
It was a Dimensional Leap!
When he reappeared, he was right in front of Jiangnan, inside the Bully Gang!
Ignoring everyone else, he raised the sword with both hands and slashed!
At the same time, two Dimension Gates opened above and below Jiangnan, not fixed in place but moving at terrifying speed, closing in to crush him from both sides!
As soon as he made his move, it was a killing blow!
No one had expected this. Who would have thought Dante would directly attack Jiangnan without any hesitation?
He was determined to crush Jiangnan with his Half-Step Star Devourer rank, leaving no room for escape!
But Jiangnan's eyes were filled with madness!
"I was hoping you'd come! Black Hole Devouring Star!"
"Die, you bastard!"
In that instant, the surrounding space began to flow uncontrollably toward Jiangnan's location, twisting violently!
Dante: !!!
Damn! I charge straight into the enemy camp to take your head, that's already direct enough!
Who knew Jiangnan would open with his ultimate move?
Even more straightforward than me!
But then Dante remembered Dichou's instructions: given Jiangnan's strength, using Black Hole Devouring Star would come at a cost.
Everyone had seen the last scene. Just surviving to come back was lucky!
Jiangnan absolutely wouldn't use it recklessly, or it would be suicide!
So there was no need to be afraid—just go for it!
But now, it didn't seem that way at all! Bet or not?
Just then, a huge crack split open in the starry sky above District 666, and a gaze seemed to peer out from within.
Dante: !!!
(꒪ͦ益꒪ͦ|||) "Damn!"
You're actually using it? Last time Jiangnan activated Black Hole Devouring Star, the Starry Sky Watcher Eye opened, and even two Watchers appeared!
Now the Eye of the Starry Sky was back again?
How could Dante dare to continue his attack? At this close range, he didn't want to lose his life!
His body vanished, diving into the fourth dimension, making several consecutive Dimensional Leaps, frantically fleeing from Jiangnan!
When he reappeared in the starry sky, he was already at a safe distance where he could escape.
His face was pale with fright, his hand gripping the sword trembling slightly.
Seeing Dante retreat, Jiangnan also quickly stopped, his face red from exertion, a cold sweat drenching his back.
(•́益•̀٥) "Damn, that was close! You sure don't waste words! Instead of sending your lackeys to die, you came to kill me yourself? Direct!"
"Why not keep going? Don't be a coward! It's a perfect opportunity! I'm standing right here!"
Little did they know, Jiangnan had really been about to unleash his ultimate. Facing a Half-Step Star Devourer head-on, and a Bose Body at that, at such close range he would surely die.
Jiangnan was confident, but not arrogant. He knew his own limitations.
If Dante had really pressed the attack just now, he would have unleashed his ultimate and gambled on taking down a Dante—not a bad trade.
But since Dante chickened out, Jiangnan hit the brakes.
He looked up at the huge crack that had opened above, which disappeared as he withdrew his technique.
The Bully Gang all stared in shock at the crack.
Shengyi was horrified:
(꒪ͦ口꒪ͦ٥) "What... what was that? Such a terrifying gaze!"
It felt like no secret could escape that gaze!
Even though it wasn't fully opened, it already made their scalps tingle.
Wang Youzhi waved his hand dismissively:
(︶.̮︶〃)ﾉ "Just a spectator. Don't worry about it."
Dante sneered, forcing calm: "Heh. Don't just talk about me. Why didn't you release Black Hole Devouring Star? At that distance, if you had, I would have died for sure."
"There's a cost, right? You're not sure you can come back from inside the black hole, are you?"
"True, Black Hole Devouring Star is something Bose Bodies fear. But a gun that can't be fired is just a hunk of iron!"
"It might scare me once, but not twice!"
Jiangnan snorted: (ꐦ°᷄⁻°᷅) "Look at you, all high and mighty. Who says I can't fire it? You want to try?"
"Not having a gun and having a gun but choosing not to use it are two different things!"
As he spoke, his aura surged, and space around him began to flow toward him again.
Sure enough, the moment that started, the crack in the starry sky that had just disappeared reappeared, seemingly about to open the Eye of the Starry Sky.
Jiangnan stopped, and the eye in the crack glanced around before vanishing again.
Jiangnan looked puzzled. *What the hell?*
*Does every time I use Black Hole Devouring Star attract the Starry Sky Eye to watch?*
*Is this spectacle that entertaining?*
He then pretended to activate Black Hole Devouring Star again, and the starry sky cracked open. He stopped, and the crack disappeared.
Jiangnan's expression gradually turned perverted.
(΄◞ิ⥎◟ิ‵)
Ignoring Dante, he just kept toggling it on and off, the crack in the starry sky appearing and disappearing repeatedly.
Everyone looked up at the sky in bewilderment.
(꒪ͦ△꒪ͦ|||) *Holy crap!*
*In the history of the starry sky, the Eye of the Starry Sky only appears during major events!*
*And now this thing can be summoned and played with by Boss Nan Shen?*
*Over a dozen times already!*
*Is this something to play with?*
But on the thirteenth time, although the huge crack of the Starry Sky Eye didn't fully open, it seemed to roll its eyes.
At that moment, every life beneath the Eye of the Starry Sky inexplicably felt a strong sense of being looked down upon!
Jiangnan: ???
(°～°〃) "Hey! Did it just roll its eyes at me? Looking down on me? I don't believe it!"
He was about to trick the Starry Sky Eye again.
But this time, the moment he started, a figure composed entirely of brilliant starlight suddenly appeared before Jiangnan.
It had no facial features—only a huge eye on its head, reflecting the vast sea of stars.
Its appearance had no warning, but it seemed as if it had always stood there.
It held a Starry Sky Book in its arms.
Everyone stared in shock at this sudden figure!
ﾞ━=͟͟͞͞(Ŏ◊Ŏ‧̣̥̇)
A Watcher?
The Watcher had appeared?
It was the first time anyone had seen a Watcher up close. This was an existence beyond their comprehension.
It just... came out?
But Jiangnan recognized it immediately. This was the one that had written several pages in the Starry Sky History Book last time, the Watcher he carried on his back running around the battlefield!
[From ????? Grievance Value +1!]
The Watcher raised a hand at Jiangnan, extending a finger made of pure starlight.
Though its face showed no expression, Jiangnan clearly felt it was mocking him!
Jiangnan's eyes widened. He immediately raised his middle finger and thrust it toward the Watcher's eye!
*Giving me the finger? Watch me poke your eye out!*
But Jiangnan's finger passed right through the Watcher's body.
It maintained its middle-finger gesture and disappeared before Jiangnan, as if it had never been there.
Jiangnan's forehead bulged with veins. *You came out just to give me the finger?*
(ꐦ°᷄◡°᷅) "Dazhi! Aren't you going to do something about this? Your little brother just got flipped off!"
Wang Youzhi grinned mischievously:
(΄◞ิꇴ◟ิ‵) "I can't control the three-dimensional world, can I? They don't come to my side anyway."
(ﾉ)ಡ̫ಡ) "Hey, next time you use Black Hole Devouring Star, try sucking in the Starry Sky Eye? I'm curious what would happen."
Jiangnan: (•́ω•̀٥)
"You sure they won't... hit me or something?"
It felt like a trap! After all, if they know how to give the finger, they probably get angry too.
But Jiangnan could confirm that giving the middle finger was indeed a universal interstellar gesture.
Dante: !!!
(งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง "We're here to catch you, and you're over there messing around?! Show a little respect, damn it!"
