Chapter 372: The Final Stage of Star Color!
When he saw this strange and colorful world surrounded by colors, Shikamaru finally realized that the existence of these colors was far beyond his imagination.
Their name is Star Color.
They originate from an incomparably distant place outside this world, and they are living and sentient beings, living beings that are the same as humans and animals, but not the same.
These stars are colors that are difficult for the human eye to recognize.
It is a pure color, not a gas, nor a materialized entity, a strange life form in the form of a non-physical substance that cannot be explained by conventional science.
As a strange life form, sneaking through the water, parading on the ground, and flying in the sky are not difficult for Star Color.
And when the star color moves, it looks like a shiny, amorphous block of paint flowing around.
In terms of feeding, Celestial Colour feeds on a variety of organic life, and when they eat, it lurks inside the victim's body, which emits the same shimmer as Celestial Colour at night.
Coming from the deep space of the universe, the mature Star Colors produce germs, which are hollow spheres the size of a handball whose surface exhibits the same Ambilight as the Star Color.
When the germ of the star color enters a nutrient-rich area, the star color larvae in the germ will sneak into the local ecosystem, and the star color germ will gradually decompose and disappear, from tangible to intangible.
When these star color larvae enter the local ecosystem, they will promote the pathological growth of local plants, the fruit will taste bitter and astringent, and the limbs of insects and animals will twist and entangle, giving birth to deformed offspring.
At night, the plants and animals affected by the star color emit a phosphorism that is characteristic of the star color.
And this is the first stage that Shikamaru sees.
In the second stage, the larval star color will further expand its sphere of influence, foraging farther away, and begin to consume the life force contained in the area it once affected in the early larval stage, to promote its own crazy growth.
At this stage, the plant will be stinky, gray, and smell like chewing wax, and eventually the fruit will become crumbled when pinched.
At this stage, humans and animals will also emit more intense star color phosphorescence, showing different degrees of mutation and degradation in body and spirit.
When the second stage of the star color absorbs enough life energy, it will enter the final stage from the second stage.
The final stage of the Rainbow will leave the world where it forages and return to the world where the Rainbow originated to become a mature Rainbow.
However, before that, Star Colour will drain the life force of all organic creatures within a radius of several hundred meters that have been affected by Star Colour at once.
This range is not fixed, and if the local nutrients are scarce, Rainbow will appropriately raise this range to a longer distance.
In addition, the star color will be suppressed by bright light, and during the day, it will lurk in dark places, such as the bottom of the water, the bottom of a well, the bottom of a lake, and other dark and damp spaces.
These were the messages that Shikamaru had perceived in that light, and Shikamaru didn't know why he was able to feel these colored messages in this brilliant light at this time.
It's just that the information of these colors has obviously come too late, and now the star color has reached the final stage of development, ready to fly away from this world at any time, and take away all the life force within a radius of several hundred meters.
Including Shikamaru himself, although Shikamaru was the first to notice the anomalies in those colors in the meteorite, but earlier, Shikamaru was also inadvertently infected by the color of the stars.
On the back of Shikamaru's hand, those strange star colors were slowly peeling away from their skin following the hurricane of the color storm in the Star Ninja Village.
And as these gossamer-like star colors flew out of Shikamaru's body, Shikamaru's arms were also aging at an astonishing rate visible to the naked eye.
The originally delicate and young arm immediately withered and wrinkled, like a degraded lump of protein after being burned.
Looking at Ino and Akido Dingji on the side, their physical condition is similar to Shikamaru, and their bodies are also aging rapidly.
This is unacceptable to Ino, who has always loved beauty, and Ino has already collapsed and fainted because his brain can't accept such a violent fright and madness.
Although Shikamaru and the others ingested the Star Color was very small compared to the villagers, and the rate of withering of their bodies was relatively slow, they still couldn't avoid the fate of being sucked away by the Star Color.
On the opposite side of the villager, the glowing phosphorescence of the star color erupted from the holes in the villagers' mouths, nostrils, eyes, and ears, like a suicide bomb ready to detonate at any moment.
When the light of the color storm in the Star Ninja Village, the star color light on the villagers and various animals reached its peak, the pinkish-purple color even distorted the space.
And when this pink-purple light, which was so strong that it was impossible to look at directly, was at its peak, the human eye's ability to capture color was dwarfed, and in Shikamaru's eyes, this heavy pink-purple color turned white.
There was only a piece of white left between heaven and earth, which could pierce the eyes in a second.
[Get 3400 shiver points from Shikamaru in Nara!] 】
It all seemed to come to an end.
And at this moment, a faint shadow descended from the sky, making Shikamaru feel a hint of the cool breeze in the scorching sun in this white light that people couldn't open their eyes and look at directly.
In that shadow, Shikamaru vaguely felt that it was a humanoid figure, and powerful wings of lilac light spread out on her body, blocking out a large amount of light.
Is that...
Shikamaru seemed to recognize who it was at the last moment, but before his brain could react, a violent white light swept in with the shock wave of the explosion.
In this white light, Shikamaru had a splitting headache and clutched his head with his hands in pain.
The blast wave was followed by a wind, and although the crater's depression had weakened a lot of the blast blast wave, Shikamaru was still swept to the ground by the wind.
His head collided with the ground, and Shikamaru lost his last consciousness and fainted.
...
I don't know how long it took, Shikamaru woke up from a coma.
Shikamaru's ears were buzzing, and his hands were sore, but fortunately they were still conscious.
And Shikamaru's eyes were extremely stinging, and the price of forcibly opening his eyes at the last moment was that Shikamaru's eyes couldn't be opened at all at this time.
Shikamaru endured the pain on his body, forcibly controlled his hands and feet with his will, and struggled to crawl forward.
The surrounding environment is a very unfamiliar touch, and Shikamaru touches it with sticky dust.
Shikamaru didn't know what these were, but her survival instinct kept Shikamaru crawling forward.
Suddenly, Shikamaru's palm touched something.
It was the only object with a solid body in this dusty world, and this tactile strangeness gave Shikamaru a glimmer of hope.
But the more he fumbled up, the more distorted the expression on Shikamaru's face became, and he tried to forcibly open his eyes to confirm, but his eyelids kept opening and closing, and he couldn't open them completely.
Shikamaru, who is a ninja, is actually aware of this structure.
It's a human skeleton.
Zooming out a little further, Shikamaru was groping with both hands for a dry skeleton that was half-buried under the ashes.
And on the chest of this dry bone, the meteorite that befell the Star Ninja Village two hundred years ago is gradually withering and turning into pieces.
