Chapter 1049 Found Out

Ning had come out of the wormhole within the first 2 hours of the dungeon break. As soon as he had come out, he had asked the system for information, and he had seen that things were mostly fine for now.

"Have you realized what exactly is happening back on earth?" he asked the system. "Why the Constellations are acting the way they are?"

<None. The system cannot give you any information.>

Ning frowned. What exactly was going on? Had the constellations realized what he was and been trying to find a way to bring him back? Was that why they had taken an active stance in all of it?

He had decided to wait for a few more hours and see, but unfortunately, it seemed the constellations couldn't wait. Now, the people had started dying because of his absence.

Since he couldn't wait any longer, he finally decided to return.

He was still grabbing onto the Constellation's neck as he looked at the other ones. The piercing screams of the constellation next to him were scaring the others from getting too close to him.

They didn't even dare attack him at all. Instead, they stood around and watched.

Ning could tell they weren't going to stand around doing nothing and would quickly attack. He needed to buy some time.

"So, it is true," one of them said.

"What is?" Ning asked. He secretly gave his clone a bit of his energy, and his clone immediately teleported away from the location with everyone.

He was going to go help the humans from the demons.

The constellations saw the others disappear, but they didn't care. They didn't even care that the dungeon break that they had perpetrated would turn out unsuccessful.

All they cared after all was for Ning to have come.

The crying constellation in his hand disappeared as Ning got another batch of energy. The remaining constellations saw that and gave an awkward smile.

"So you really do have the Energy system," they said.

Ning immediately frowned. 'So they found out,' he thought. 'What now?'

He checked his status and realized that he still required some 800 Septillion energy. He would have to swallow a few of these constellations whole to achieve that.

"What's that?" Ning asked, trying to feign ignorance.

"No need to lie, we already had our suspicions for a few days, and now it turns out it is true," one of them said, with almost a manic expression on their face. "I hear you can't do anything while you are draining one of us."

Ning looked around as he realized that they were all trying to come after him. The crying constellation grabbed onto his hands as well.

"I got him. Save me!" he shouted.

At the same time, the rest of them charged at him. Ning dropped the constellation and disappeared from where he stood, going into the sky as far away from the planet as possible.

Since the Constellations were after him, he hoped that they were going to come after him.

Fortunately, they did.

Ning flew into outer space, but very quickly his path was blocked. The constellations appeared all around him and started locking down the space around him.

"He's mine!" one of them shouted and shot toward him.

Ning tried to dodge but there was no dodging the charge at all. It was as if space warped to bring him directly in front of the constellation.

Since he couldn't dodge, he punched.

His body was as strong as any Constellation's, perhaps even better, so when he punched it, the constellation's body broke into pieces, the skeleton his body was formed out of shattered and floated around him.

However, that didn't kill the constellation at all. It merely harmed it a little. The broken bones mixed together to form the constellation again.

Ning couldn't watch that as he was instantly attacked by many other constellations as well.

He dodged one and attacked the other. His fist went through a constellation's head, but another grabbed him from behind.

A massive black ball of energy that seemed to warp light and space flew toward him. Ning quickly turned around, letting the constellation that was holding him take the brunt of the damage.

However, he was still hurt as even hit tough body was bleeding after that attack. His body healed itself, however, while the constellation that took the main hit could not anymore.

It had lost too much energy to reform.

'They are all very weak,' Ning thought. He was fearful about fighting all of them at once, but he was starting to understand that they weren't as strong as they were supposed to be.

At their best, he would have likely had no chance, but these people had given away most of their energy while creating the dungeons or opening a portal to the other worlds where the demons were at.

And that did not make sense to Ning at all.

They were here to live, so doing something that got them closer to death was not their way at all.

'Have they gone mad after being away from their system perhaps?' he thought.

A constellation tried to punch him behind his back, but Ning grabbed it with his hand. As soon as he grabbed it, the system connected with the constellation and started sucking away its energy.

The Constellation that had remained back on earth had died and now he could absorb some more.

Ning fought with the constellations constantly. He got hit a lot and he hit back a lot as well.

The fight was in a very confined space, but powers that could destroy earth were being hurled at each other.

Ning's punches alone could do so, not to mention the various types of attacks that were being thrown at him by the constellations.

The fight was mostly a standstill with neither side winning.

However, since it was a fight between an Immortal and beings that could die, the outcome was obvious if the fight prolonged for even more.

The Constellations realized that too. So, a few of them decided to use the underhanded way of winning.

"You're strong," one of them said. "So we won't fight you. Instead, if you don't give yourself up, we will blow up the earth."
