Swallowed Star (All Chapters) Volume 8 Final

Chapter 1437: Realization

As the most powerful Sector Beast within the Sector Beasts' nest now, Beddy was naturally concerned about the happenings in Universe Ocean. Through Zhen Jia Emperor and Dragon Rock Ancestral God, it had learned some news, and also, it was aware that Universe Ocean's Number One Master was "universe master" Luo Feng.

What a pity Zhen Jia and Dragon Rock are being ostracized by the various races of Universe Ocean, thought Beddy. I can't even find out whether this Milky Way Horde Leader has achieved his breakthrough to become a true god or not... I also don't know if this Milky Way has deposed Morosa back to the first stage in his capacity as a "universe master," or if he did so after he became a true god.

Beddy pondered. The two possibilities were greatly different from one another.

If Luo Feng had become a true god, being able to depose Morosa back to the first stage was nothing impressive, and the threat he posed was not major. But if Luo Feng was merely a universe master, yet had been able to depose Morosa back to the first stage, then when Luo Feng became a true god, how formidable would he be?

"Seems like my powers are still lacking," Beddy said to himself. "I must increase my power as soon as I can. I need to become more powerful at a much faster rate. I used to focus more on the third-stage Sector Beasts. Now, I need to devour even the second stage Sector Beasts... If I devour a greater number of second-stage Sector Beasts, they can still equate to one third stage Sector Beast."

Beddy's past strategy had been very simple. Whatever threatened it, it would devour. And even if it was unable to devour its opponent, it would inflict severe injuries on it. In this way, Beddy was able to keep its position at the top of the pile!

The method was stable and practical. It could easily keep tabs on the hundreds of Sector Beasts that posed the greatest threats to it... but the method was also slow! If it were to devour and attack a tremendous number of second-stage Sector Beasts, it would level up at a much faster rate, but it also meant that he would not be able to acquire enough information about those that threatened it. There were always two sides to any coin.

Sector Beast Morosa and Luo Feng had fought one another in a battle where Morosa was defeated.

This had been the first contact between a Sector Beast and a life form from Universe Ocean and had caused much fear and unrest among the various races of Universe Ocean. The various races were aware that when there was first contact, a second encounter was likely to occur soon.

Likewise, Morosa, upon being deposed back the first stage, had returned to the Sector Beasts' nest. When the many Sector Beasts from the nest learned this news, they all had a good shock. It made them realize that they had been mistaken to belittle the various races of the Universe Ocean. They had not expected anyone from Universe Ocean to be so powerful. Also, it drove the Sector Beasts—who had previously followed a systematic way of fighting and evolving—into a state of frenzy. Gradually, they began to lose their self-restraint!

The aged ancestral god stood by the edge of the public square before the ancestral god palace and looked far into the distance at the numerous Sector Beasts' palaces suspended in void space.

"Milky Way Horde Leader might have defeated his first Sector Beast opponent, which, in turn, fled the scene," he said, "but according to the news transmitted to me by the willpower of the origin, the countless Sector Beasts within their nest are bound to be affected. They will quicken their pace of evolution. There is a high probability that final battle between the Sector Beast and will likely be moved forward."

"Yes," The youngest ancestral god said, wearing a solemn and worried look. "Milky Way Horde Leader is the only hope for our Universe Ocean! If he becomes a true god, we still have hope... but if he has no breakthrough, once the mighty Sector Beast army charges toward us, or if a super-strong Sector Beast comes here, we will not be able to stop them. Ultimate extermination will be our fate! What is Milky Way Horde Leader's problem? Merely a universe master, yet his level of secret technique is so magical! And his power is simply unbelievable. He has the inheritance of the pulse of Duan Dong River, and, from the World of Jin, he also acquired the inheritance of the ancient civilization. So why is he still unable to achieve a breakthrough and become a true god? To other great beings, becoming a true god may be quite a challenge. But him? He should have already become one long ago."
