Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton Chapter 1049

Chapter 1049: Chapter 615: Where is My Energy? Chapter 1049: Chapter 615: Where is My Energy? Divine Technique is driven by God Status and is based on the Power of Faith to demonstrate formidable powers with effects that defy reason,
“It doesn't necessarily have to be the Truth's Murmur; there are many skills that can achieve the 'nagging' effect, such as the Whisper of the Demon, Elven Sleep Talk, and others. Lord Locke might have mistaken it,” Anthony quickly consoled the frustrated Negris.

“Maybe, it's more or less like Nage, sneaking around and speaking ill of others. Did it speak ill of us? It definitely badmouthed me in the Master Plane,” Locke stated confidently.

“It might… possibly… maybe… did it, Lord Locke, let's not talk about that. Tell us about the Evil God, how did he seduce everyone? Don't you and Nock have Soul Contact? Why were you seduced?” Anthony asked, puzzled.

Locke shook his head, “No Soul Contact, His Majesty and I had consciousness transfers, so we couldn't establish Soul Contact. Balu mentioned that he often heard strange voices directly resonating within his soul when he was seduced.”

“I didn't take it seriously at the time, and then his Soul Strength skyrocketed suddenly, as if he had an epiphany, quickly surpassing Mourning Soul. I even thought it was a good thing, but soon realized something was wrong. At that time, I had Soul Contact with Balu and could easily control him, but after transforming into Lord Annihilation, I had no contact with Nock,”
Anthony, still confused, hesitated and asked, “Lord Locke, didn't you arrange some compulsory measures like a Soul Chains or something?”

Locke replied irritably, “I already said I messed it up. Do you have a problem with that?”

“No, no, just asking. No complaints, just asking.” Anthony quickly waved his hands showing he had no objections. Who would dare to object to Lord Locke and risk a beating?

Locke, knowing he was at fault, scratched his head in anguish and complained, “His Majesty knows I'm not good at these things. It's so annoying, yet he still wanted me to handle it. If I messed it up, it's not my fault. He messed up, too. What would you do if you were in my shoes?”

“Uh, yeah, it's really complicated. I don't know how I would handle it either,” Anthony said.

“See, you wouldn't know how to handle it either; it's too complicated. Ah, way too complicated.” Locke cheered up a bit, muttering as if relieved of a heavy burden.

Feiti and Durken exchanged glances, and a mysterious smile emerged on their faces. Anthony's skills in soothing others had clearly improved tremendously.

Indeed, with Locke's personality, it was fine to have him beat up people, but managing such a vast territory, especially the opposing forces of the Undead Empire and the Sorcerer Alliance without messing up was already more than enough to ask for, what more could one expect?

If he could perform at Anthony's level, everyone would have doubted if he was really Locke. The framework now in place in the Undead Empire was established by the Old Immortal Monarch, and the Sorcerer Alliance was also conquered by the Monarch.

Locke was only following His Majesty's orders, barely maintaining the status quo. If there were issues, asking him to rectify them would indeed be asking too much of him.

“Ah, how did His Majesty think of summoning Locke here? It would have been better to summon a Witch,” Negris said softly.

However, Durken had a different opinion, “No, Locke is the best choice. If we could only summon one, Locke would be the most suitable. He has a strong heart. He can stand alone against everyone, eliminate all obstacles in his way, and fulfill His Majesty's commands. We don't have that kind of willpower.”

Just then, Ange suddenly looked up at the Starburst Array in the sky.

Negris noticed something was off with Ange, “What's wrong? What are you looking at?”

Ange pointed at the Starburst Array and said, “There's something there.”

At the same time, Durken's communicator suddenly rang. After connecting, Leite's anxious voice emerged, “Sir, the Starburst Array has started operating on its own; we haven't touched anything.”

Not long after Leite finished speaking, the God of Life also peered out from Ange's shoulder, “Such a strong Power of Faith.”

Everyone quickly turned their eyes to Locke, who sprawled his hands in confusion, “I…might have been tricked again.”

Everyone rushed towards the Teleportation Array, preparing to transport up to the Starburst Array.

Locke naturally followed, but Radiad also followed along, which puzzled Locke, “You heard everything, why are you still following me?”

Radiad blinked and asked, “Lord Annihilation, when did you become Lord Annihilation?”

Locke calculated, “Eight hundred years ago.”

Radiad said, “I'm only fifty years old. From the moment I was born, I grew up under your protection. I have followed you since my childhood, not the Sorcerer Alliance.”

Locke replied irritably, “It was you who stole my collection to exchange for snacks when you were young, and also you who secretly urinated in the garden by my door.” After saying that, he didn't bother with him further.

Radiad's face turned beet red as he covered his face and followed.

The group transported to the Starburst Array via the Teleportation Array. Originally, Ange could have created a handmade Teleportation Array, but he didn't have the markers for the one on the Starburst Array, and there were too many people.

Upon arriving at the Starburst Array, they immediately discovered where the problem was. At the center of the Starburst Array, a powerful Energy Orb was brewing, slowly increasing in intensity.

Durken rushed into the main control core of the Array and demanded, “What's happened? What's the situation now?”

Leite, who was drastically changed, now dressed in a refined Void-level suit of armor with his helmet on, only his face shield pulled up to reveal his face. This Void-level suit of armor allowed him to breathe in the Void for over twenty-four hours.

“I don't know either; we didn't touch it, and there's no energy loop formed in the main control here,” Leite answered quickly.

When Durken checked, indeed, the core of the Array hadn't formed an energy loop, meaning the Array wasn't operating but merely had an additional energy orb at its core.

This change was beyond Durken's capabilities, and he said urgently, “It's not related to the Array. Someone just sent that energy orb over.”

Negris asked, puzzled, “What's the point of sending an energy orb over? To blow up this place?”

Just as Negris finished speaking, the orb suddenly pulled out an energy ring, slowly expanding and settling on the Starburst Array.

Once the energy ring was aligned with the Starburst Array, that spot immediately started to move.

Durken gasped in shock and instinctively looked at Ange, “Handmade Magic Array?!”

Ange, also puzzled, raised both hands and formed a Starburst Array.

Negris said with a trembling voice, “That Evil God who sent the power, could it be trying to do the same as Ange, create a Starburst Array by hand and then detonate a Star Burst?”

This guess was too incredible and unbelievable, but as the second, third, and fourth rings appeared, the intention became clearly visible.

Durken slapped his thigh and realized, “I get it now, Locke, you were really tricked. It led you to stop the Starburst Array; only then could it accumulate power. Otherwise, if you just aimed a Star Burst in any direction, it wouldn't be able to accumulate energy at all. Can we call people back? Quickly call them back and start the Array to release the energy.”

Locke shook his head, “It's too late. Calling people back and starting the Array would take at least a day or two. I'll just go and blow it up.”

Having said that, he rushed out, and boom! The energy orb shook and Locke was bounced back even faster, smacking against the wall with a crack.

Struggling to pull himself off, Locke was about to charge again when he saw Ange had already floated towards the energy orb.

With a rub of his hands, a Starburst Array appeared in his palms, but it didn't start operating, appearing relatively dim.

Negris furrowed his brows and said, “What does that Dead Skull want to do? His Starburst Arrays have never been successfully conjured, only ever reaching about seventy percent completion. Why form one now? To blast that energy orb?”

“Let's just watch. Lord knows what he's doing, his combat experience is much more than yours,” Anthony said.

Negris's old face flushed, and he retorted, “It's only because I can't transform into the Dragon God. If I could, my experience would definitely be richer. That's all inherited power.”

“Yes, yes, inheriting power not given to you but to the Lord,” Anthony's comment quite skewered Negris.

Ange tilted his head and began adjusting the Starburst Array, removing those outer rings.

“Er, his conjured Starburst Array, did it also include those peripheral non-functional residential zones? Now that those sections are gone, he knows they were unnecessary?” Negris speculated.

Indeed, by excluding those unnecessary sectors, the Starburst Array Ange hand-conjured finally lit up.

Ange pulled with his hand and the Starburst Array immediately expanded to over ten times its size, turning into a six to seven-meter diameter Magic Array, attaching to the energy orb.

The energy on the energy orb was continuously drawn into Ange's Starburst Array, the energy reaction growing stronger and soon reached saturation. A strong beam was already condensing at the front of the array.

Seeing the beam that was about to be triggered, Anthony said weakly, “Uh, is this Starburst Array aimed at us?”

“Kvada!” Everyone realized then and madly rushed out of the control room, but it was already too late. When the Starburst Array was released, various objects were sprayed towards the control room.

“Elf… Elf Beans?” Instead of a Star Burst, what spewed out of the handmade Starburst Array were Elf Beans, striking the control room like raindrops.

“What… what's happening? Element Conversion by the God of Farming? Ange transformed the energy of the Star Burst into Elf Beans?” Negris muttered.

Just as he had dealt with the Faith Storm before, Ange had cultivated a large amount of Elf Bean Vines, harvesting a lot of Elf Beans. This time was no exception, but he skipped the step of Elf Bean Vines and directly transformed the energy into beans.

Big Mouth had gone mad, pouncing forward and swiping with lightning speed, gathering the Elf Beans into his arms. Unable to gather more, it suddenly morphed back into its true form, opened its mouth wide, and positioned it in front of the array, letting the Elf Beans spray right in.

This was allowed? Little Angel flew over and slapped it on the forehead.

Only then did Big Mouth reluctantly close its mouth, catching the Elf Beans with its body instead, covering its fur.

Just like letting the air out of a balloon, the massive energy orb was forcibly depleted of energy by the array, shrinking more and more until it finally ceased.

A confused thought emerged from the energy orb, utterly baffled: “Where's my energy?”
