Global Demon King: Starting as the Abyssal Dragon

Chapter 237: They Came From the Stars



Zhang Nu had just finished speaking when the Azure Water Empress, Shui Lan exclaimed, "I know who did this! I also know where he is! Follow me!"

The Empress, having waged war in the Abyssal Trench multiple times during her lifetime, and as a Soul Warden for six thousand years afterward, silently guarded this trench. No one understood the structure of the Abyssal Trench better than her.

Guided by the Shui Lan, the group advanced through numerous obstacles, systematically clearing out many monsters. These creatures were of very high levels, at least Level 6 elites, with nearly half of them being Level 5 and 6 lords. Occasionally, there were even overlords. Even a Level 5 Demon King would find it extremely challenging to solo through this.

In the deepest part of the trench lay a massive basin. Here, numerous seal structures built by the sea tribes were evident, but most had collapsed and appeared dilapidated, covered in crystals. Apart from that, the area was littered with the corpses of aquatic tribe members, each sealed within a crystal. These crystals looked like gigantic eggs from some creature.

Han Kexin furrowed her brows and warned, "Be careful. There are abnormal psychic and soul fluctuations inside. These bodies seem to be alive, but their souls and minds have completely deviated from ordinary living beings."

Just as the words fell, several crystals shattered, resembling broken eggshells. Monsters emerged from within. This time, it was a sharkfolk, a shrimpfolk, and an octopusfolk. Despite their different races, they all had a mysterious aura. They seemed to be a grotesque result of forcibly fusing flesh and crystal together. Sharp crystal spikes adorned their limbs and torsos, and crystal fins protruded from their backs. Their heads were a half-and-half combination of flesh and crystal, emitting a powerful aura.

[Envoy of Myriad Stars] Level 6 lord unit...

Han Kexin's expression became serious. "What are these? Special undead creatures?"

Zhang Nu glanced at the introduction and said, "No, these aquatic tribe members are just shells. Internally, they are entirely different races. They are life forms from another realm. Realizing that the laws of this world conflicted with theirs, they couldn't directly manifest their bodies. Therefore, they projected their souls and occupied these corpses."

"Don't be deceived by their current appearance. In their own world, they might have entirely different biological forms and species."

Han Kexin asked, "Could they be influencing the monsters then?"

Zhang Nu replied, "No, these guys don't have such strong power."

The Azure Water Empress interjected, "The mastermind behind this must be 'Morton the Formless.' These starry monsters are subordinates of Morton, the Formless."

Without waiting to be asked, she explained, "You are correct. These intelligent beings from another realm have significantly different life forms than us. They try to avoid directly descending in bodily form and instead come through by projecting their souls."

"This method not only increases their chances of survival but also makes it less likely for them to be detected. They can utilize crystals and corpses to construct their existence in this world. Among these invaders, there is a leader. He is Morton the Formless!"

The Empress continued, "It's extremely difficult to kill Morton. Now that he has awakened these subordinates and commanded monsters to stir everywhere, it's evident that he wants to buy time to destroy the sealing altar."

"We must not let him succeed. If the sealing altar is destroyed, the world rift will be opened again, bringing endless invasions and disasters to this ocean!"

"We don't have much time!"

Zhang Nu and Han Kexin exchanged a glance, displaying perfect cooperation. Han Kexin stated, "I'll take care of these small fry!"

Without hesitation, Zhang Nu left the Yamata Evil Serpent monstrosity behind. With it teaming up with the Succubus Queen, clearing out these Envoy of Myriad Stars should not be an issue.

"Let's go!" Leading Azure Water Empress, Zhang Nu headed towards the central area.

Han Kexin and the Yamata Evil Serpent monster created a significant disturbance, successfully attracting the majority of the Envoy of Myriad Stars. These creatures had formidable attack power and unique skills. If it weren't for the nearly indestructible Yamata Evil Serpent acting as a tank and drawing the majority of the firepower, Han Kexin admitted she would not have stood a chance.

At that moment, Zhang Nu arrived at the center, where a magnificent structure came into view. This colossal sealing altar had a diameter of three to four hundred meters and a height of about one thousand meters. It was covered in intricate runes and glowing sealing chains. Before he could thoroughly sense the situation, a strange and enormous figure rose from the altar. It was essentially a supersized Envoy of Myriad Stars. However, the nearby regular envoys were all composed of one or two aquatic tribe corpses, while this one was constructed from at least twenty to thirty corpses. Furthermore, each of them was of extremely high quality.

The Empress's soul fluctuated, "Oh no...he has fused with the twelve Sea Kings!"

If Zhang Nu observed carefully, he would notice that the monster's body was pieced together from many corpses. Among them, twelve looked particularly distinctive. Without surprises, these twelve corpses were the Sea Kings. This extraterrestrial monster, relying solely on these twelve monarch-class corpses, would likely not be inferior to the Thirteen Malevolent Kings in terms of power. This opponent's strength was definitely not to be underestimated

Zhang Nu immediately activated his cheat ability to acquire information.

[Envoy Leader of Myriad Stars: Morton the Formless] Level 5 mythic unit...

Skills: Stellar Descent (Talent), Starfall Strike (Talent), Power of the Stars (Talent), Evil God Aura (Talent), etc.

Description: This is an offspring of an Evil God, commanded to lead the Evil God's kin in invading this world. It possesses an almost immortal soul and formidable power.

Seeing this, Zhang Nu was somewhat surprised. This Formless Morton was actually an offspring of an Evil God. Zhang Nu had never heard of the existence of offspring among Evil Gods.

Without waiting for Zhang Nu to contemplate further, Morton took action. As he unleashed tremendous power, he gradually eroded the sealing chains, attempting to break the sealing altar. Simultaneously, he locked onto Zhang Nu and Shui Lan, conveying a bizarre psychic consciousness into their minds.

"Shui Lan! So, you're not dead after all!"

"However, with your current state, you won't be able to stop me this time!"

The massive, eerie figure did not emit sound but communicated through the mind. Engaging in psychic conversation did not require knowledge of the other's language. The opponent's brain automatically would convert the psychic signals into understandable thoughts or speech.

Shui Lan felt a significant loss of composure. "Morton's strength was already formidable, and now, having absorbed the bodies of twelve Sea Kings, his power has undoubtedly surpassed that of a monarch!"

As the words fell, Zhang Nu felt himself moving at the speed of light, entering the vast expanse of the starry sky. In every direction, there were splendid and colorful wonders.

[You have been affected by "Stellar Descent". Maximum HP and MP -2000 points, all stats -25%!]

So that's what it was, it was a domain skill! Still, it must be said, it was quite stunning!

In every direction, the boundless expanse of the starry sky enveloped everything! Morton's psychically transmitted voice echoed again, "The terrors from the stars are something you weaklings cannot comprehend. Today, I will let you experience just a glimpse of it!"

As he spoke, without any preparation, a domain hurricane swept through, flames erupted, frost covered the ground, and the earth trembled. There were no incantations, yet he could directly manipulate the four elemental forces. This was the power of the Dominion of Laws! Morton the Formless was indeed a genuine mythic-class unit!

However, with such power, it was just a drizzle for Zhang Nu. He realized that finding an opponent who could engage him in a back-and-forth battle was not that easy.

First, he activated the Eye of Death. Then, he condensed a surge of powerful mana.

Death Stare!

-52121!

The leader of the envoys, Morton the Formless, exploded."
