Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1097 - 1098: Moving Forward

"What is this place?"

Agunas looked around at the light and shadow streaks with a puzzled voice, while Feng Yuan examined the surroundings with an indescribable expression and said,

"It seems that this thing has some tricks up its sleeve."

Unlike the real world they were in before, this spatial interlayer was dominated by black ribbon-like objects occupying a large amount of space. The black ribbons extending in all directions to the distance made Feng Yuan feel as if he had entered a game scene resembling a spider’s den.

"Is this, a part of the Data Domain?"

Guo Huai looked around and asked Feng Yuan. They had slowed down their skateboard, not because they were afraid they couldn’t dodge the black ribbon-like objects that filled the surroundings, but because they didn’t know which direction to head after entering this place. Moreover, his system couldn’t provide any help after entering here; he found that even the information about Feng Yuan and the others couldn’t be displayed, as if blocked by something.

"It should be, I didn’t expect that thing to have such capabilities."

Shaking his head, Feng Yuan said somewhat helplessly. These things weren’t enough to be unmanageable, but they were quite troublesome. Agunas waved its little paw, and a transparent arrow appeared out of nowhere before dissolving into blue little cubes.

"Why would... this happen?"

Agunas said with an unsightly expression. Just now, it had imbued its Authority Power into the arrow, but it had no effect at all—its Ultimate Move had been directly decomposed by some special force.

"The rules are such, and you could completely unleash your power to forcibly ignore these rules, but with your current form, you can’t forcibly ignore the rules and take action."

Feng Yuan explained to Agunas, who was on his shoulder. Divine Beasts naturally have a Liberation Power form, which is their appearance when they go all out. Of course, a change in appearance isn’t guaranteed—they can control it themselves but Feng Yuan was sure that unless Agunas switched to its main body, its avatar had no chance of using Liberation Power. That would be a joke.

"Must it be through Liberation Power?"

Looking at Feng Yuan and realizing he didn’t seem to be deceiving, Agunas pondered with a flickering gaze, and Veronia, holding a bead, said,

"Is it that simple?"

"Your case might be problematic. Your authority isn’t a general one, and I guess it won’t work."

Feng Yuan didn’t wait for Veronia to unleash her power before reminding her. A general Authority refers to the type like Agunas’s Authority of Time, which targets the entire world. In contrast, Veronia’s authority targets the World of Mirrors. There are not many Divine Beasts with general authority; most are regional Guardian Divine Beasts. Their most significant characteristic is that their authority is not limited by the region except in some special places and is not only effective in a specific region.

"I see, only a general Authority would work."

Prepared to unleash her power, Veronia said regretfully while looking around. Just like Agunas, she couldn’t make a move at the moment, as their Ultimate Moves would be decomposed by some special force before taking shape.

Xiao Ji, standing at the front of the skateboard, raised its head and looked at Feng Yuan with a cry of an eagle. Feng Yuan, tidying the wind-blown feathers on Xiao Ji’s head, said with a bit of amusement,

"What are you thinking? The prerequisite for Liberation Power is that you have already successfully passed the growth stage and reached Divine Beast Level strength to unleash your power. You haven’t even fully grown up yet, and you are thinking of unleashing power?"

Xiao Ji called out a few times dissatisfied, seemingly reluctant. After scratching the back of Xiao Ji’s neck, Feng Yuan observed the surroundings and asked,

"Can you tell where the source is?"

"I don’t know, these things are too chaotic, and, I haven’t experienced anything like this before."

Guo Huai said while looking around. Although he had learned countermeasures, that was all he had done. The most famous incident was the Electronic Galaxy incident, and although the Federation encountered several electronic world invasions afterward, it was not his turn, an ordinary person, to join the battle. Not to mention that in his era, it was entirely the Federation’s own civil war.

"Never experienced it before? But of course, there were defense mechanisms installed at that time. If it hadn’t been for the invasion of those species with electronic worlds, we wouldn’t have encountered such things."

Feng Yuan recalled and smiled, glancing around and shaking the Lantern in his hand, saying

"This thing is different from the Electronic Galaxy. The Electronic Galaxy aims to simulate the real world, but this place..."

A pale blue flame arrow flew towards the nearby huge black strip. Although the flame arrow was different from the Ultimate Moves of the Agunas and wasn’t disintegrated, it didn’t cause much damage upon impact.

"Pretty sturdy, but what if it is?"

Feng Yuan smirked, shaking the Lantern, and from the void, a huge warship surged out. Although it looked very similar to the Norek, it lacked the special aura of the Norek. Guo Huai knew very well that even though the Norek was only active during the early days of the unnamed person’s career, it had gone through many battles; naturally, this fake didn’t possess the aura that came from experiencing extensive combat.

Energy reactions flared up on the warship, and the next moment, numerous beams bombarded the huge black strip in front. As the giant black strips shattered and crumbled, bizarre hissing sounds echoed continuously.

"As expected, it’s a special creature."

Upon hearing the sound, Feng Yuan was not at all surprised; he had previously speculated, given that the movement of those things was too similar to that of Spirit Beasts.

"Where?"

Agunas tried to locate the source of the sound, but it seemed to come from all directions, making it impossible to pinpoint the origin. Feng Yuan glanced at the shattered strip that only extended partially towards the distance and said to Guo Huai,

"What do you say? Want to try something exciting?"

"It doesn’t matter."

Looking at the half-destroyed giant black strip-like object in front of them, Guo Huai somewhat understood what Feng Yuan intended to do. Although there were some doubts, Feng Yuan had dealt with similar things before; it probably wouldn’t be too much trouble.

The skateboard rushed towards the black, giant strip-like object and along the strip towards the distance. Along the way, small black strips kept emerging, attempting to trip Feng Yuan and Guo Huai.

"Yo~ there are props~ I have some too~"

Seeing a strange creature made of black strips wielding a huge Sickle approaching, Feng Yuan weighed the Crystal Ball in his hand with a mischievous smile. Xiao Ji instinctively spewed out flames, but the pale blue flames dissipated into sky-blue cubes before taking form.

With a toss of the Crystal Ball, it shattered in midair, and a transparent spherical Barrier enveloped Feng Yuan and Guo Huai. They broke through the blockade from both sides. Although the creature swung its Sickle at Feng Yuan and Guo Huai, the transparent Barrier blocked it. Realizing that the two had broken through its interception, the bizarre creature unfolded a pair of special wings composed of square panes from its back to fly towards Feng Yuan and Guo Huai.

"I didn’t say I didn’t have offensive props~"

Feng Yuan glanced back at the bizarre creature that was hot on their heels and tossed the Crystal Ball, summoning a high-speed spinning snail shell out of thin air that collided with the bizarre creature, sending it tumbling into pieces of black cubes that dispersed.

"Has this actually become a game?"

Guo Huai wasn’t particularly surprised by this. He knew about the anomalies that could occur in the electronic world, and a game-like electronic world was one among them. Especially in such enemy territories, if not for the constraints of the basic rules, it’s feared that an existence outside of the rules wouldn’t be able to annihilate those things.

"That’s not quite the case; I’ve just made some modifications."

Feng Yuan casually threw a banana peel behind him, which slapped onto the black strip with a slap sound. The next moment, an explosion occurred, and the black strip they had traveled on split in two due to the banana explosion, scattering and disappearing into countless fragments.

"It seems that continuing forward should bring us closer to the source. I wonder what strange thing is staging this."

Feng Yuan looked forward and said. At this moment, the Agunas also understood why Feng Yuan had previously blown up the black strip; it seemed he merely wanted to change the path from two directions to one direction. However, how could he be sure it’s the way back and not the way forward? Agunas was somewhat puzzled.
