Chapter 112: When the Superstar Shines in the Night Sky

Chapter 112: When the Superstar Shines in the Night Sky

The cocoon of light, the breath of life, the brewing… Could it be that the high-dimensional overseer also wants to learn from the Mother Tree of Desireand start having children?

Hastur was taken aback, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible.

He guessed that the high-dimensional overseer was planning to use his authority to conceive new life.

And then let this new life be born on Earth!

Among the known Outer Gods of the old days, the high-dimensional overseer should be one of the entities that could easily descend to Earth.

Just because He had not done so before, did not mean He lacked the ability.

Just like the Superstar Overlord, once the concept is changed, terrifying action is immediately taken.

Was he, himself, promoting the descent of the stars to Earth?

Hastur's heart suddenly trembled.

The Superstar Overlord, because of his appearance, awoke from slumber and chose an active and proactive way to bring his power down to Earth.

The high-dimensional overseer, too, because of him, transformed from a quiet, hidden watcher of the lives of the Outer Gods into an entity actively choosing to be born on Earth.

The return of the stars?

Could this be the true meaning of the return of the stars? Hastur found it hard to accept this speculation for a moment.

But upon reflection, it indeed fit the meaning of the return of the stars.

The one who returns the stars is the being that guides the stars to their correct position.

If Earth is that correct position, then all of this seems to make sense.

"All of this was my own choice, although I did not have such thoughts, but some of my actions have indirectly or directly facilitated the return of the stars."

Hastur fell silent, recalling his previous conversation with Bernadette.

Because of fate; the stars will guide you…

The words he had spoken had come true for himself.

Fate, he had deceived and guided others in the name of fate, yet he himself was unknowingly trapped in it.

What an irony.

Hastur closed his eyes, silent for a long time, before opening them to look at the star where the high-dimensional overseer resided.

"It seems that I will have to come to the Hall of Stars every day to observe, lest I miss any important information."

Hastur observed the high-dimensional overseer for a while longer, confirming that He had no unusual movements for the time being, before retracting his gaze and leaving the Hall of Stars.

Deep into the night.

A feeling unlike any other spread from the starry sky, and Hastur immediately woke up from his slumber.

He first cautiously glanced at the window; both panes were tightly closed, and it was not Mr. A coming to knock on the window for a late-night visit.

"Is this feeling indicative of some major event?"

Hastur placed his right hand over his heart, the strange sensation making it difficult for him to sleep.

He got up, took his cane, and carefully opened the window.

Outside the window, the light of the crimson moon shone like never before.

The red moonlight, unobstructed, spread endlessly across the sky, weaving a giant blood-red net, seemingly intercepting something.

In the red moonlight, the stars dimmed, but one star burst forth with a white light bright enough to blind the eyes! The white light was unmatched, charging through the blood-red net, making all obstacles seem like a joke.

Seeing this, Hastur immediately understood why he could not sleep tonight.

Because the Superstar Overlord had chosen to act at this time! From the time He proposed this plan in the Hall of Stars, it had been only three days.

For the Outer Gods of the old days, who possess vast spans of time, the Superstar Overlord's action this time was absolutely swift and decisive! From the current situation, a true god could not stop the Superstar Overlord!

Even if the power of the Superstar Overlord was weakened when passing through the initial barrier, it was not something a true god could withstand.

Soon, in the crimson light, the stars also lit up, which must have been the everNight Goddess and the Earth Mother goddess joining forces!

But the star represented by the Superstar Overlord still twinkled with an incredibly dazzling light, and it was getting stronger.

In the night sky, that star grew larger in view, eventually appearing like a platinum sun next to the crimson moon.

An even more intense battle erupted, and the light of the crimson moon and the stars gradually dimmed.

Just as Hastur was watching intently, the starry sky presented by the window was too narrow, preventing him from seeing the other side of the scene.

He hurriedly left the bedroom and went to the balcony, where the view was wide, allowing him to see the current movements in the starry sky.

At this time, he realized that the battle in the starry sky was divided into two battlefields.

One battlefield was the crimson moon joining forces with the stars to block the star transformed by the Superstar Overlord.

The other battlefield was probably the White Tower, the Tyrant, and the Sun, three true gods, joining forces against a black curtain that could corrupt everything.

The black curtain likely represented the Fallen Mother Goddess!

As for the War God, the Steam and Machinery God did not participate in this battle, possibly to prevent any potential upheaval. The two battlefields shook the entire starry sky, awakening countless extraordinary beings.

The higher the order of the extraordinary beings, the more fear they felt about the anomaly tonight.

Because the more they understood, the more fear it brought.

The more ignorant extraordinary beings and ordinary people could only see various light clusters colliding and devouring each other in the starry sky.

Unable to understand what this phenomenon meant, they just watched from afar, treating it as a spectacle and a novelty.

"Strange, wasn't the Superstar Overlord targeting the Eternal Sun?"

Hastur frowned slightly; the two battlefields in the starry sky should have been swapped to be more normal, right?

Could it be that the everNight Goddess and others sensed that the Superstar Overlord's target was the Eternal Sun, so they deliberately switched battlefields? "No, that's not right!"

Hastur's expression changed slightly, sensing that there must be deceit involved!

The Seven Gods could not possibly know the true target of the Superstar Overlord's actions, nor could they have made accurate arrangements in advance.

The reason for such a battle situation must be the deliberate guidance of the Superstar Overlord! And the Mother Tree of Desire was also well aware of this, She could not possibly have not been involved.

But on the starry battlefield, Her shadow was not seen.

"The star entangled with the everNight Goddess and the Earth Mother goddess is not the real Superstar Overlord!"

"The real Superstar Overlord must be hiding in the battlefield where the Eternal Sun is!"

Hastur guessed the true plan of the Superstar Overlord based on the current situation!

Truly, an old schemer who even the Lamp God fears, playing mind games, is indeed very terrifying! "The Eternal Sun is in danger."

Hastur sighed, having predicted the direction of this battle situation.

But he was powerless to change any of it, nor could he now run to the Seven Gods' church to confess everything to the Seven Gods.

Unless he wanted to die! He was, as he had once said, just a witness.

"Baron, do you need any help?"

Butler Neil also woke up from his sleep; he had been sleeping well, but the noise outside had startled him awake.

After asking what had happened, he came to Hastur's side, waiting for Hastur's orders.

"Butler Neil, what is your faith?"

"I have always believed in the Mother Goddess."

"The Mother Goddess…"

Hastur sighed, saying nothing more, his gaze still lingering on the changing starry sky.

Butler Neil also looked up, and although he did not understand, he felt greatly shocked and asked, "Baron, do you know what this phenomenon tonight is all about?"

"Perhaps the gods are revealing their miracles."

Butler Neil thought seriously for a while and also felt that only the gods revealing their miracles could weave such a magnificent and grand starry phenomenon.

He closed his eyes and prayed devoutly to the Earth Mother goddess.

Hastur just quietly watched all this, seeing that the melee in the starry sky was difficult to resolve for a while, his gaze swept over Beckland at this moment.

The extraordinary beings hidden in Beckland must have been awakened by now, right? …

Inside Count Hall's luxurious villa.

Audrey woke up from her slumber, and before she could understand what was happening, she heard Susie shouting with a frightened and uneasy emotion: "Audrey, get up quickly! Look outside! The sky is bright!"

"?"

Audrey rubbed her eyes in confusion, about to tell Susie that from night to day, the sky would naturally brighten.

But when her gaze swept over the clock, she instantly woke up.

It was still deep night!

She hurriedly got out of bed and followed Susie's lead to the window.

The first glance out of the window made her mouth open slightly in surprise, her eyes filled with colorful wonder.

She excitedly said, "Susie, the starry sky tonight is so beautiful!"

"Woof woof woof?"

Susie made a puzzled sound.

"Susie, you still can't understand the concept of aesthetics, can you?"

Just as Audrey was about to educate Susie on the subject, Susie shook her head and said, "Audrey, don't you feel a fear coming from the bottom of your heart?"

"To see such a wonderful and magnificent beauty, how…could it be fear? Joy, happiness, or something similar."

"Woof woof woof?!"

Susie felt that it shouldn't be like this, but she couldn't explain it. After all, she was just a dog.
