Chapter 461 - 183: A Sky Full of Stars, Chaos Strike! An Endless Attack Towards the Distant Stars

He now had more, and far more flexible, methods to group his Defense Towers together for a Cluster Attack. At the same time, he also saw the currently unavailable, grayed-out Array of Celestial Stars, which could only be deployed after all 612 Defense Towers were summoned, and with it, the ultimate Chaos Strike!

SHIMMER~

As Shen Fei watched, the countless Gemstones socketed into his Defense Towers shone like a sky full of stars, bathing the entire room in a multicolored radiance.

SNAP!

As he observed his 500 Defense Towers and sensed that their base Combat Power had more than tripled, an itch to try them out suddenly came over him. Unable to resist any longer, he summoned all 500 Defense Towers into the yard in front of the villa. Then, he activated everything—all his skills, all his equipment, and all his Auras! Empowered by over a thousand Gemstones, he unleashed a Cluster Attack from his 500 Defense Towers with their new base attack power.

Based on a quick assessment, with the enhancement from 1,500 max-level Gemstones, the power of my Defense Towers has increased by at least several thousand times.

A single Level 9 Gemstone alone could boost a Defense Tower’s base Combat Power by 90%, and each Defense Tower was socketed with a full three Gemstones. With the number of Defense Towers now at 500, the number of Gemstones he had deployed totaled a whopping 1,500. This was also because of the various Arrays that came with the Gemstones themselves. Furthermore, the Gemstones enhanced the most fundamental Attributes—the ones not yet multiplied by Auras and skills.

So, when Shen Fei unleashed the Cluster Attack from 500 Defense Towers, it actually included the effects from all the various Gemstone-related Arrays, such as the Three Talents Array, the Four Symbols Array, the Seven-Star Array, and the Celestial Spirits and Earthly Fiends Array. The current Cluster Attack was a combination of Arrays stacked upon Arrays, providing all sorts of enhancements.

Therefore, this new, Gemstone-enhanced, Cluster Attack from 500 Defense Towers... Shen Fei couldn’t even begin to imagine just how powerful it would ultimately become after the secondary and tertiary multiplications from Billion Linked Bonds, his various Auras, and other effects. In any case, he wouldn’t dare unleash an attack at full power like this on Blue Star.

Feeling a surge of excitement, he aimed the new Cluster Attack from his 500 Defense Towers straight into the sky. He deliberately avoided Blue Star, the sun, and the moon, firing the attack into a remote stretch of the deep night sky.

WHOOSH~

With the full power of the Defense Towers unleashed, the silent, invisible attack shot into the deep night. He looked up, his gaze following the attack’s trajectory, but unfortunately, he didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary. The sky was too dark, and besides, the Cluster Attack was inherently silent and invisible. On top of that, he had deliberately aimed away from the paths of the sun and moon. As a result, as he stared in the direction of the attack, he saw nothing. And for now, he couldn’t see any of the consequences it might have caused.

"Wow!!"

"Look at this! Look at the new ability I inherited!!!"

Shen Fei had just finished test-firing his Defense Towers when he heard his sister Shen Yue’s excited cry from inside the house. He turned around and saw his sister, Shen Yue, carrying a huge basket filled with a host of small, multicolored frogs.

SWISH!

As Shen Fei watched, Shen Yue waved her hand. With a CROAK, one of the frogs from the basket leaped to the ground, instantly swelling to over three meters in height. At his sister’s command, the giant frog opened its massive mouth and spat out a pillar of fire so hot it seemed to warp the air itself.

"That’s it?" Seeing his sister’s excited performance result in... well, that, Shen Fei couldn’t help but roll his eyes and scoff.

"Didn’t your frog just have a bunch of different skins? How come there are so many little frogs all of a sudden?" Shen Fei asked curiously, gesturing toward the basket in his sister Shen Yue’s hands.

He distinctly remembered her only having one frog before.

"These are alts!" she declared. "You wouldn’t understand!"

Unfortunately for him, Shen Yue had seen him roll his eyes and now had no intention of answering his question.

"My frog awakened its bloodline!!" she boasted. "Just you watch! My frog will eventually become powerful enough to swallow the heavens!"

While deliberately ignoring her brother’s question, Shen Yue did tell Shen Fei about her frog’s new ability.

"Bloodline?"

Hearing the word "bloodline," an idea sparked in Shen Fei’s mind.

SWISH!

The moment the idea struck him, Shen Fei immediately retrieved an item from the barter section of the [Ninth World]. "Here, try this!"

Shen Fei took out a [Bloodline Gemstone], which could purify a bloodline, and handed it to Shen Yue.

SNAP!

Shen Yue had just taken the Bloodline Gemstone from her brother, her curiosity piqued, when the giant frog beside her suddenly shot out its tongue and snatched it right out of her hand. Then, with a series of loud crunches, it devoured it.

"Huh?! What was that?? Where did you get it??"

She could feel a wave of pure joy emanating from the frog that had eaten the Bloodline Gemstone, along with a clear desire for more. Shen Yue, who had no access to the [Ninth World], couldn’t help but cry out in surprise.

"Big Bro~~~ My dearest Big Bro~~~! Tell me!"

When her brother Shen Fei deliberately remained silent, Shen Yue immediately rushed over and started shaking his arm.

Then, all she got was his cool, terse reply, "It has to do with the bloodline your frog just activated!"
