Bai Qi, after leaving the world of war, flew rapidly towards the sun. At such a high speed, he was quickly monitored by Demon One.
"What is this Holy Lord up to now?"
After receiving the report from her subordinates, Morgana was perplexed. After all, stars were too hot, and even she, without protection, was unwilling to get too close for fear of unforeseen circumstances that would leave her covered in soot.
"Could it be that the Holy Lord has a death wish and is preparing to commit suicide by jumping into the sun? No, although his physical strength is not that terrifying, his recovery is so monstrous that as long as he wants to, the sun's high temperature probably won't be able to melt him."
Ato, standing beside her, rumbled, "My Queen, could this action by the Holy Lord be intending to..."
"Intending what?"
"I suspect he might want to enhance himself through stellar energy."
Ato's words plunged Morgana into thought. After much deliberation, this was the only explanation that made sense, but still...
"What the hell is wrong with him? Does he think he's omniscient after studying stellar knowledge with me for a few days? Enhancing himself with stellar energy, does he think he's Sol?"
Look at the Angel civilization. They pride themselves on having the most perfect bodies in the known universe and being the most advanced civilization, yet when it comes to stars, they are still only capable of channeling their energy and attaching it to weapons. Even Xihe only channels it, not directly absorbs it.
When it comes to the use and control of stellar energy, the Sol civilization is definitely number one.
When Pan Zhen was talking with Carl, he had revealed that as long as the main god was present, stars and planets were all the same to them. Even if some of it was an exaggeration to threaten Carl, it was still seven parts truth to three parts falsehood.
However, Bai Qi, in his current state, could not learn the use of stellar energy from the Sol civilization. Even if he had the chance, that old fox Pan Zhen would absolutely not reveal the fundamental basis of their entire civilization. The Gluttonous civilization had hastily researched Reina after capturing her, and released her not long after.
According to the plot, Carl would eventually obtain the power of the Sun's radiance, but certainly not now. For Bai Qi, time was also running out.
Desperately wanting to increase his strength, Bai Qi had already arrived near the star. His clothes had long since burned to ashes in the face of the sun. The scorching heat seared every inch of Bai Qi's skin, and at the same time, it brought some clarity to his muddled mind.
In fact, when the battle with Savage was halfway through, Bai Qi had already regained some clarity from his confusion. Although his mind was still somewhat muddled, he could control his body. However, at that time, Bai Qi did not stop fighting; instead, he fought even more fiercely.
After all, opportunities to openly test Savage's limits were few and far between.
Under the guise of madness, Bai Qi successfully explored Savage's nano-armor. Although there were many areas that needed improvement in the armor, it had to be admitted that the nano-armor had immense potential. Perhaps he could find an opportunity to get it and study it thoroughly.
But for now.
Bai Qi looked ahead. The star before him emitted immense heat, but to Bai Qi, this was precious energy, a shortcut to becoming stronger.
However, Bai Qi was not Pan Zhen. His control over stellar energy was even worse than Reina's. All related knowledge came from Morgana's Demon One.
Although Demon One possessed methods to channel stellar energy, the techniques were too crude, wasting over thirty percent of the energy during the process. Moreover, this energy channeling was only applicable to celestial warships like Demon One, or at the very least, the Gluttonous main ship.
Now, Bai Qi intended to absorb stellar energy into his body using this method to power his own improvement.
This could no longer be described as madness; it was simply courting death.
But Bai Qi, who possessed the authority of the Sun, did not think so. Relying on his innate affinity, even with the considerable risks involved, it was worth a try to become stronger as quickly as possible.
However, Bai Qi was not so foolish as to connect himself directly to a mature star. Instead, he used a special magic alloy to create a spherical device.
This spherical device was placed between Bai Qi and the star, acting as a buffer. The star's energy would first pass through this spherical device before entering Bai Qi's body, thus greatly reducing the danger of absorbing stellar energy. Sudan Novel Network
At least, this was the best method Bai Qi could think of.
With everything set up, Bai Qi began to activate the sphere and simultaneously started drawing stellar energy.
As the extraction began, the sun became increasingly volatile, and a scorching solar wind raged.
Fortunately, Bai Qi was well-prepared. He promptly erected a magical barrier, enclosing himself. It not only blocked the scorching solar wind but also converted it into energy, storing it and sending it into Bai Qi's body.
Feeling this intense energy, Bai Qi knew this was just an appetizer and the greater ordeal was yet to come.
After a brief period of adaptation, Bai Qi proceeded to the next step.
The sun's energy was extracted and entered the spherical device.
The black spherical device turned crimson after absorbing the solar energy, looking as if it would explode from the strain at any moment. Seeing this, Bai Qi spread his arms, and the energy within the sphere rapidly surged towards him, passing through the magical barrier and entering his body.
"Ugh... Ah..."
The scorching energy surged into his body. Even with the regulation of the spherical device and the support of the two authorities of fire and sun, it still caused Bai Qi immense pain.
After all, the two authorities did not belong to this world, and their effects were greatly weakened.
At this moment, Bai Qi's body began to show signs of carbonization under the scorching stellar energy, but it was quickly healed by Bai Qi. The black energy consumed for healing was far less than the stellar energy absorbed.
This meant that as long as Bai Qi could withstand the immense pain, he could continuously increase his strength by absorbing stellar energy before his internal black energy was depleted.
However, this process was too agonizing, and the destruction to the star was unprecedented.
"Holy shit, this bastard actually dares to do this."
In Demon One, Morgana exclaimed in shock as she watched Bai Qi absorbing stellar energy. Even she would not dare to absorb such a large amount of stellar energy; it was suicidal.
"What is he doing?"
Qiangwei, standing beside her, asked, looking at Bai Qi on the screen.
Although Bai Qi's intervention had caused a slight deviation in the plot's direction, after this period of plot progression, Qiangwei had been brought back to Demon One by Morgana.
Morgana glanced at Qiangwei beside her and said, "He is absorbing the star's energy to enhance his own strength. Although his methods are crude, the process is painful, and much energy is wasted along the way, it is very effective for self-improvement."
"But doing so, by drawing away the sun's energy, will cause immense destruction to Earth."
At this moment, Qiangwei's heart was still focused on Earth. Or rather, at this moment, she was only looking at the problem from Earth's perspective.
"So, you want to stop him now, right?"
"Of course."
Qiangwei nodded affirmatively.
"No matter the cost?"
"No matter the cost."
