[With almost all of your train crewmates already at Peak Starlight rank, you’ve decided that the time was ripe to hunt the Star Devouring Monster and slay it!]
[You still coveted the Star Devouring Monster’s Adaptation Principle, as it was the key that’d allow you to easily step into 45%+ Adaptation Principle a decade from now.]
[With the combined efforts of your Zenith Train Crew, it wasn’t that difficult to find the Star Devouring Monster.]
[The Absolute Compass’s range might be insufficient to find the Star Devouring Monster, but the Wish Principle and Wish Maker could easily lead you to it.]
[Not to mention, Astraea’s Divination Principle didn’t care about distance as long as it was within the universe. With her divination and your wish, the Zenith Train easily traveled across star systems and located the Star Devouring Monster.]
[The Star Devouring Monster was an enormous monster with an astronomical size. Its eyes were as huge as an entire planet, and its body was as large as most stars.]
[Although the Star Devouring Monster was still a physical-based monster and wasn’t a creature made out of energy,]
[It’s Adaptation Principle still allowed it to ignore most physical and magic attacks. Even some rule-based attacks that it had encountered a million years ago had already been adapted by its Adaptation Principle.]
[Unlike you, who comprehended the Adaptation Principle with mostly pure intelligence, talent, and comprehension, the Star Devouring Monster wasn’t the same. Although the Star Devouring Monster wasn’t that dumb, its intelligence was only comparable to a normal human’s.]
[Because of that, comprehending a Principle with intelligence and comprehension was impossible for it. It merely relied on its long lifespan and practical experience to reach its current progress of the Adaptation Principle.]
[Aside from that, it didn’t awaken any other Authorities or Principles. In fact, its comprehension of the Adaptation Principle was a pure coincidence, and other Star Devouring Monsters couldn’t replicate it.]
[Currently, the Star Devouring Monster was living up to its name. It had already arrived in another star system with three host stars and twelve planets.]
[The Star Devouring Monster ignored the twelve planets since they were too small for it, merely serving as a candy. Since it wasn’t that appetizing and couldn’t fill its belly much, the Star Devouring Monster headed to the biggest one among the three host stars.]
[Opening its mouth, the Star Devouring Monster’s black hole-like mouth started sucking in the biggest host star in that star system.]
[While the Star Devouring Monster was feasting, the Zenith Train silently approached it and remained undetected. As a Level 78 Train, the Zenith Train’s train abilities and train modules had a base value of a Late Starlight rank powerhouse’s.]
[Not only was it effective against powerhouses at Peak Starlight rank, but it was almost impossible for anyone at Late Starlight rank and below to even bypass the effects of its train abilities and train modules.]
[While the Star Devouring Monster wouldn’t fear any Peak Starlight rank powerhouses, its power rank was merely Mid Starlight rank.]
[Due to this, and the fact that it was way too focused on feasting, the Star Devouring Monster didn’t notice you and the others exiting the Zenith Train.]
[As soon as you left the Zenith Train, you immediately summoned Order King to your side and used World Order amplified by your Order Principle and Multiplication Principle, "Order! For this lowly and unintelligent creature before me to possess the same Adaptation Principle as this king is nothing but an insult!"]
["I hereby proclaim that the Star Devouring Monster shall be able to use its Adaptation Principle within my presence!"]
[As if that wasn’t enough, you further used Royal Confiscation to deprive the Star Devouring Monster’s right to use its Order Principle.]
[Due to your Order Principle possessing greater law fragment ownership than the Star Devouring Monster’s Adaptation Principle, it easily deprived it of its right to use the Adaptation Principle.]
[The gap between you and the Star Devouring Monster was so vast that the Star Devouring Monster couldn’t even use its Adaptation Principle to adapt to your World Order.]
[Before the Star Devouring Monster could react, a large illusory hand appeared out of thin air that grabbed it. "Star Picking Hand!"]
[You used the Star Picking Hand, which was one of the acquired skills you’ve gained from a Starlight Chest.]
[The Star Picking Hand, as its name suggested, could easily pick the stars in outer space.]
[The Star Devouring Monster was larger than most stars, but it didn’t matter since the Star Picking Hand’s size was greater than the Star Devouring Monster.]
[Standing in the outer space, you witnessed as the Star Picking Hand easily caught the Star Devouring Monster. Despite its huge size, it was like a grasshopper being caught by a human’s hand, unable to break free.]
["Death Touch."]
[Using the X-rank Death Touch innate talent, the power of death was transmitted towards the Star Devouring Monster via the Star Picking Hand.]
[This was one of the reasons why you bothered to acquire the Star Picking Hand. It could be treated like your third hand, making contact-based abilities transmittable through it.]
[When the Death Touch’s energy came into contact with the Star Devouring Monster, the Star Devouring Monster’s fleshy body started disintegrating into dust.]
[The Star Devouring Monster couldn’t even adapt to it, as you’ve already revoked its right to use the Adaptation Principle within your presence.]
[But before the Star Devouring Monster could die, Order King pointed its scepter towards the Star Devouring Monster and extracted the Star Devouring Monster’s Adaptation Principle.]
[As a Late Starlight rank powerhouse, you were undoubtedly the strongest Spirit Avatar Master throughout history. Because of this, you’ve developed your Order King spirit avatar to the point that you had already pre-programmed some simple methods using World Order.]
[For example, you don’t have to voice out and make an Order when wanting to use World Order to extract your target’s Principles.]
[With just your mind alone, you can command Order King to activate the pre-programmed method of World Order.]
[Without any suspense, the Star Devouring Monster’s Adaptation Principle was successfully extracted by World Order!]
