Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 38 A Hundred Forms of Martial Arts, This is Black Hole Archery!
The Star Eater Kroat is at the very apex of the natural food chain.
If ordinary creatures are like insects on the Earth's crust, dependent on the planetary environment for survival,
Then the Star Eater race are super-beings who can survive in gaseous giants and even low-intensity stars from birth, dragons of the sky.
Their very existence can influence the natural ecology of a planetary system, and their gluttonous eating habits can very likely cause stars to age, become red giants, or even collapse and self-destruct.
Even though there are over a trillion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, the number of Star Eaters in the entire stellar system does not exceed one hundred. The power of each fully-grown Star Eater is comparable to that of an Omega psionic, enough to defeat an entire battleship fleet and destroy an ordinary civilization.
However.
Most Star Eaters, despite their strength, are 'idiots.'
This is not an insult, but a fact.
More than ninety-nine percent of Star Eaters have no concept of 'intelligence' whatsoever.
They have no language, no inheritance, and almost no communication with each other, acting entirely on instinct.
In a sense, they are just ultra-large cosmic jellyfish—their brains are just like those of jellyfish.
And just as jellyfish have no brains, it does not prevent them from being one of the longest-lasting and most successfully designed life forms in Earth's history.
Star Eaters have no brains, but this does not prevent them from being incredibly strong, the darlings of the entire universe's natural ecology.
After all, intelligence is not a necessity for life... and with the Star Eaters' power and strong survival instincts, they don't need to think at all to live comfortably for hundreds of millions of years, until their overly large bodies collapse into black holes, or create a dazzling supernova explosion.
But...
What is the meaning of living like this?
In every race, there are outliers who differ from the vast majority of individuals.
Some may be cruel and murderous, with low morals, while others may be compassionate and morally noble.
Every civilization has its own definition of outliers, and can excommunicate each other.
The outliers among Star Eaters... are very simple.
After all, what could be an outlier among a group of brainless jellyfish?
It can only be 'smart.'
Kroat is a very smart Star Eater.
Since his birth and the acquisition of intelligence, this rare cosmic super-jellyfish who can think with his brain has been filled with doubts.
[What are we supposed to do? Where is the future leading?]
He was very confused by this, to the point that he lost his appetite and didn't even want to eat stars for a while, drifting in the great nebula region all day long.
During this time, Kroat asked every one of his kind he could see.
The answers from his Star Eater kin were simple: [I'm going to eat stars in the Magellanic Cloud.]
[No, you misunderstand me, brethren. I don't mean what we should do now, but the ultimate meaning of our lives. In the end, why were we born into this world, and what is this powerful strength for?]
[To eat stars.]
[...]
Obviously, after communicating with these Star Eaters for a long time, Kroat couldn't even figure out whether he was stupid, or whether his fellow Star Eaters just seemed brainless, but actually possessed great wisdom for survival...
But no matter what, he couldn't get an answer from his own kind.
Other civilizations and super-beings in other universes obviously wouldn't want to have a good conversation with a somewhat crazy Star Eater.
All civilizations and life forms avoided this Star Eater as much as possible, which only deepened Kroat's confusion.
Then, the Void Cult accepted him and told him the truth.
The kind, gentle, and respectable leader of the cult told him the truth about everything.
[Life itself has no meaning, but my brother, destroying everything is meaningful! If we want to destroy the entire universe, then to fight against us, all the life in the universe will risk their lives and attack us for their 'ultimate meaning'!]
[Your existence is meaningless, my existence is meaningless, but to prove that meaninglessness is the truth, and others' refutation and battle against us, this process may be called the ultimate meaning and goal!]
To repeat, Star Eaters are not a species with much brainpower.
Even the smartest among them, Kroat, who could even think about philosophical problems, was no exception.
Easily persuaded by the Void Cult and converted into a Twilight眷族 (Juanzu), he destroyed countless planets and civilizations over the long years.
And from the various activities of the Void Cult, he gained a sense of 'peace of mind' that he could not obtain from other beings or from the act of devouring stars.
[Is this... peace of mind?]
This only made him more convinced that what he was doing was the meaning of his existence.
In the end, life is about pursuing a sense of peace of mind.
Of course, this does not mean that Kroat can remain calm and composed when facing a rocky planet with a diameter of four thousand kilometers that is coming head-on, at his weakest point in thousands of years.
[Cult brothers, save me!]
After a tragic wail, Kroat did not do nothing.
In fact, his actions were extremely fast. Almost immediately, he made what seemed to be the most exaggerated, but was actually the most rational choice, in response to the unavoidable and unstoppable moon strike.
That is, to remove all the restrictions around himself, and do his best to control the 星空巨蛋 (Xingkong Judan) (Star Giant Egg)... and crash into it!
In the final analysis, Star Eaters were once Ω-class psionic behemoths. Although their power was not as refined as other Ω-class psionics, they were still powerful beings of that level.
Admittedly, in order to survive the long era of spiritual energy depletion, he had sealed himself in a star, suppressing his strength to around the Heavenly Immortal realm.
But his judgment of the situation was very sound.
[That guy... obviously came prepared! He must have a backup plan for pushing a planet to hit me!]
[Even if I give up my slumber and immediately gain some power to dodge, I would be injured in the violent stellar movement caused by the moon's impact on the star, and I would be flanked by the other party's possible backup plans—in that case, I might as well face it head-on!]
This would also prevent the moon from accelerating to the extreme with the help of the star's power, causing even greater damage.
If he could, Kroat would definitely not want to give up his slumber. Because that was the fastest way for him to restore his former Ω-class strength.
If he didn't recover now, he might need decades or even hundreds of years to slowly repair, which might not even be as fast as re-cultivating from scratch. The efficiency would be too low.
But now, the Star Eater had no choice—the moon, driven by numerous planetary engines, flying towards him like a white rainbow piercing the sun, carrying enough kinetic energy to knock him into the core of the star. He could only remove the restrictions on himself and begin to counterattack with all his strength.
[Release the psionic suppressor locks, recreate the space-time modulator, activate the aether acceleration module, and begin stellar stream propulsion!]
In an instant, a large black spot suddenly appeared on the dark red part of Ross 128.
The darkness spread across the star, devouring all the light and heat, and the 星空巨蛋 (Xingkong Judan) (Star Giant Egg) in the center of this darkness also began to slowly rise, carrying streams of light like solar flares, and lifted towards the moon!
In hundreds of thousands of years, including the time he spent without intelligence, existing for more than four million years, how many celestial bodies had Kroat devoured? He wouldn't even bother to look at things like the moon in the past, feeling that they were tasteless and not even enough to fill his teeth—but now, he was actually in danger because of this trivial thing!
This was unacceptable!
Instantly, the solar flare streams ejected from the 星空巨蛋 (Xingkong Judan) (Star Giant Egg) struck the surface of the moon, and the ultra-high temperature of over tens of millions, nearly a hundred million degrees, spread like a golden-red molten steel poured on ice, instantly cleaning the entire surface of the moon.
And at this moment, Su Zhou, who was piloting the moon strike, also saw the appearance of the Star Eater clearly from a close distance around the star.
The original Star Eater was a smooth, perfectly round sphere located below the surface of the star. While sleeping, it absorbed the power of the star, maintaining its vitality and slowly recovering its strength as the spiritual energy returned.
But now, Kroat, who had begun to exert all his strength, revealed his true appearance as the eggshell gradually became transparent: a ferocious beast with millions of tentacles and a body like an umbrella canopy. Countless rotating and flickering runes rose and fell around his body, forming a psionic armor that could be called tangible. Every tentacle could easily plunder the energy in the vacuum and absorb the star's vitality!
This was a super-being that could make people understand strength and terror just by looking at it!
[Isn't it just a moon? Watch me knock it back!]
In a roar that shook space and time, the beast released a bright, pure-blue light all over his body. This light merged with the light of Ross 128, turning into a dazzling purple.
The purple light intertwined with the cyan-purple demonic fire covering the entire moon, belonging to Su Zhou, causing the surface of the star to become chaotic.
Then, there was the collision!
The giant egg rose, and the moon fell.
At the moment when the giant egg collided with the moon, a brilliant flame, enough to illuminate thousands of stars and cover the entire star field, lit up in the vacuum of the universe.
Boom!!!
Accompanying the decisive attack of both sides, mechanical wave vibrations, enough to destroy and tear apart the planet, came from the stellar gas.
Inconceivable power instantly destroyed the front of 火夕月 (Huoxiyue) (Fire Dusk Moon). It now looked like a mooncake that had been bitten. A huge dent appeared at the point of impact, and countless stellar fragments burned fiercely in the solar wind, releasing light, looking like countless deep-purple light particles, floating around the moon.
The Star Eater was not doing well either. A large piece of his 星空巨蛋 (Xingkong Judan) (Star Giant Egg) was directly smashed, and the shattered eggshell contained the pulverized structure of the Star Eater's main body, overflowing like blue mist.
The gravitational tide generated by the collision between the two even distorted space-time, completely destroying and twisting the photosphere layer of the surface of Ross 128, and tearing apart the already broken stellar structure around it—even fragments of the planet were directly propelled by the force of their collision at sub-light speed, penetrating the star's convection and radiation layers, and plunging into the deepest depths.
But this was not the end. Even though the light of the sun had dimmed here on the shattered surface of the star, the extreme high temperature had not dissipated. Golden solar storms, calculated in tens of millions of degrees, were raging in this area.
The moon was not pushed back, but it was indeed blocked by the Star Eater. Its broken wreckage floated in the stellar gas stream, gradually melting, disintegrating, and turning into interstellar dust.
However, Kroat did not feel any joy. On the contrary, he was furious and wanted to go crazy.
[Aaaaaaaah!]
The beast roared angrily. The shell of the 星空巨蛋 (Xingkong Judan) (Star Giant Egg) was not only a protective layer, but also a life-extending module that allowed the Star Eater to survive the silent era. It was also an auxiliary cultivation organ that allowed him to return to the strength of a Grand Heavenly Venerate as soon as possible after the spiritual energy returned.
According to the original plan, he only needed to continue sleeping for five or six years to restore his strongest state in the past, in which he could extinguish the sun and crush the Emperor artifact left by Doumu Yuanjun. He could continue to rampage in the starry sky and make key contributions to the Void Cult's 'Grand Plan'.
But now, a part of the 星空巨蛋 (Xingkong Judan) (Star Giant Egg) had been shattered. This not only reduced his recovery speed, but also lowered his recovery ceiling.
However, this was the limit—that damned alien civilization's powerhouse was obviously far inferior to himself in his prime. And the fact that he pushed the moon, instead of coming himself, proved that the other party did not have any powerful attack methods!
The wise Kroat had completely seen through the other party's cards!
Now that he had blocked the moon, it proved that the other party had no other means of attack!
Next, it was time for him to counterattack!
At this moment, layers of extremely obvious light circle phantoms appeared around the Star Eater. In the past, these aether light circles were enough to block the simultaneous firing of an entire space fleet's main guns, and directly peel a planet's crust off the celestial body.
And now, accompanied by a thunderous roar, countless tentacles, carrying these light circles, surged from all directions towards the back of the moon, towards the location of 'Su Zhou', where the obvious energy fluctuations were located.
From a distance, it looked as if a beast had opened its mouth, about to swallow the entire celestial body into its belly.
No, this was the truth.
Kroat was going to personally grab that enemy, skin him alive, and eat him!
But, just as the endless Star Eater tentacles surged towards the moon.
A figure slowly appeared in the star's storm, standing directly above the moon.
It was a human.
It was Su Zhou's shadow, who had already returned to human form.
"Good guy, he can actually block it—Star Eaters, these cosmic behemoths, are really unreasonable. How did they grow so big?"
At this moment, facing the countless Star Eater tentacles surging towards himself and the moon, Su Zhou did not feel any fear or worry.
The youth's eyes were bright, with gear-like marks flowing deep within his pupils. There was even a smile on his lips.
"But as expected, his brain isn't working too well."
Saying this, he tightened his grip on the black longbow in his hand.
A plain and unadorned longbow, yet releasing an incredible aura of fiendishness.
Behind him, a vast and boundless giant formation, like a nebula, also appeared.
At the far end of the star's orbit, in the area between 火夕星 (Huoxixing) (Fire Dusk Star) and Ross 128, the Earth fleet was rapidly maneuvering in the gravitational tides between celestial bodies. They were setting up formations, using the entire battleship as a node, and then establishing a cosmic giant formation that covered a space of thousands of kilometers, like a nebula.
A 'Dyson cloud' that was not too big, but definitely not small either.
The hazy gray nebula absorbed the energy of the star. Most of the intense light radiation and energy turbulence generated by the battle between Su Zhou and the Star Eater were captured by this great formation. Then, it was once again gathered into pure spiritual energy, and then gathered on the 'eye' of the formation, which was now Su Zhou.
[周天星斗大阵-残缺版] (Zhou Tian Xing Dou Da Zhen-Can Que Ban) (Grand Celestial Stars Formation - Incomplete Version) possessed such power.
The complete Grand Celestial Stars Formation should be able to simultaneously cross time and space, drawing from dozens or even more stars, requiring the joint efforts of multiple Grand Heavenly Venerates and Heavenly Immortals to operate. But now, even the incomplete version was enough.
What's more, Su Zhou had far more than just these buffs at this time.
At this moment, the power of will of 6.5 billion people was constantly pouring into the youth's body through the personal space, the electronic underworld, using the 万念归一 (Wan Nian Gui Yi) (Ten Thousand Thoughts Return to One) divine power as an intermediary.
Of course, there was also an enemy who could bring a stronger buff than an entire civilization with his own strength.
The Star Eater Kroat himself!
—Apart from the moon strike, Su Zhou had no attack methods against the Star Eater.
No, no, no... From the very beginning, this was wrong.
The moon strike, from the beginning, was just to open the shell!
"Too naive, Star Eater—"
Raising his hand, in the vacuum, amid the dazzling streams of starlight, Su Zhou raised his bow, laughing and drawing the string: "How could a hunter only bring one weapon when hunting prey?"
At this moment, the surface of Ross 128, as if the entire star had encountered a natural enemy, suddenly lit up with a bright-golden light.
It was an uncontrolled nuclear fusion explosion, a surge in the entire star's convection layer.
Endless light points appeared around Su Zhou, and then the black divine bow, like a tornado, like a black hole, devoured all the stray spiritual energy from all directions, along with the spiritual energy condensed by the Grand Celestial Stars Formation.
Immediately afterward, a ball of black flame rose around the youth. It was dim and profound, but at the edge, there was a layer of pure-white light particles flickering, like the stars in the galaxy.
The black flame began to slowly extend, and in the four-dimensional view, one could see its main body, a slender, straight vortex eye, like a long arrow binding infinite light and energy.
It was a gravitational well.
And the light that appeared on it was the energy and light that broke through the event horizon with quantum probability at the edge.
How did the former Setting Sun Divine Bow suppress the immortal Golden Crows, completely killing those Golden Crow demon ancestors whose bodies were comparable to stars, without leaving even a trace of a chance for resurrection?
When Su Zhou held it, all the mysteries became clear.
Setting Sun Piercing Skies Heavenly Tribulation Method... This Heavenly Emperor-level cultivation method, when paired with the Setting Sun Bow, could directly condense energy and create a gravity well comparable to a miniature black hole!
The terrifying gravitational reaction, which even light could not escape, what other divine object in this world could create a more powerful killing force, or a more terrifying and terrifying aura?!
—In the world, this object is the first for attack!
—Use this object to cast arrows, and if they hit, it is like encountering a great tribulation of infinity, a great tribulation of heaven and earth!
That was the truth.
This was a 'black hole bow' and a 'collapsing arrow technique' that could create gravitational arrows, forcibly collapse stars, and cause all large mass demon gods and beasts to self-destruct and turn into black holes!
Of course, at lower levels, the Setting Sun Bow could still condense energy and create 'ultra-dense matter arrows', 'white dwarf matter arrows', or even 'neutron star arrows' that were almost condensed-state matter—as everyone knows, these ultra-dense materials, when released from external constraints and brought into a world of normal gravitational pressure, would rapidly expand, creating a great explosion that exceeded the light of stars.
Take an arrow, draw the bow, nock the arrow.
Su Zhou, with the most cautious and solemn posture, used spiritual power to move the gravitational well, and mounted that gravity vortex, like an arrow, on the Setting Sun Bow—a super-mass body launcher, or rather, a miniature black hole launcher.
—A myriad of martial arts, this is the black hole arrow technique!
"The Star Eater on the other side."
Then, he kindly opened his mouth, reminding the other party: "This divine bow is also the first time I'm using it, so it may not kill you in one shot, and it may make you struggle in pain for a while."
"But it's okay, I'll continue to finish you off later—I hope you'll be okay during this time."
Obviously, Kroat's intelligence and cultural level had not reached the point where he could understand the Yin-Yang Qi.
But that was not a big deal.
Because Su Zhou had drawn his bow and released the arrow.
The black divine bow bloomed with dazzling brilliance, and the light of destruction, containing infinite power, swept across space, crushing and destroying all the overflowing star storms.
Just the aftermath shook the heavens and the earth, and infinite divine light bloomed, like a rain that could extinguish stars falling from the sky. Countless black light rays connected the sky and the earth, filling all the space between Su Zhou and the Star Eater.
At this moment, the Star Eater also sensed an inconceivable danger. The premonition of death, where his life was under great threat, made him feel unprecedented panic. The beast realized that his judgment was wrong. The enemy's act of pushing the moon to strike was likely just a preliminary step to break his shell. He actually had a fatal attack that could threaten his main body, but could not be used many times!
For a time, Kroat let out a long roar of shock and anger. The countless tentacles that had been stretched out to devour the moon instantly began to light up again with layers of aether shields. They piled up together, forming more than eighty layers of planetary shields. Even if the 瑟诺斯提亚 (Senostia) (Xenostian) people's golden fleet came, it would take some effort to pry open these shields.
All of this had a special effect against extremely large energy torrent attacks, and almost only this type of attack could harm a super-being like the Star Eater.
But this time, it was different.
The black arrow was shot out, and the gravity well plundered all the light and energy along the way, like a sharp blade piercing through space and tearing everything apart.
It easily pierced through all the energy shields, instantly creating a straight vacuum channel between Su Zhou and the Star Eater. Those incomparably solid shields quickly filled with cracks like broken glass, and all of them shattered, turning into countless broken energy light rivers on the outside of the star.
All defenses were broken in an instant and silently. The Star Eater's defense was indeed extremely powerful, but it was far from being able to block a black hole-level gravitational well—although it was not a real physical black hole, it was also one of the most powerful attack methods in the universe, a destructive strike that could deal true damage to all defenses!
[What is this?!]
Kroat's roar almost tore apart the star's convection layer, but soon, he was hit by the gravitational arrow, and he no longer had time to be angry—the giant cosmic ultimate jellyfish even showed an expression that seemed like fear, and then a devastating shock wave burst out from his body.
The Star Eater's main body was directly forcibly collapsed and aggregated by the Setting Sun Bow's attack, creating a small supernova explosion. Endless light spread, and the originally broken 星空巨蛋 (Xingkong Judan) (Star Giant Egg) was completely shattered this time.
At this moment, the perfectly round shock wave was spreading at sub-light speed towards all directions of the star. From a distance, it looked like a circle spreading on the surface of Ross 128.
Of course, as Su Zhou said, this one attack would not kill Kroat. The Star Eater knew that he was in trouble the moment he was hit, so he directly cut off most of his main body in the first moment, avoiding being completely destroyed by the subsequent chain gravitational collapse.
However, in this way, this former Grand Heavenly Venerate, the strongest Ω-class cosmic behemoth... completely lost the possibility of rapidly restoring his strength, sublimating to the extreme, and returning to the Heavenly Venerate realm.
With only a part of his main body left, without the protection of the 星空巨蛋 (Xingkong Judan) (Star Giant Egg), he officially fell to the mature stage of a cosmic behemoth, which even the complete form could not maintain!
The results were remarkable.
However, Su Zhou did not pay too much attention to the cosmic behemoth who was roaring and fleeing in the distance.
At this time, he, whose hands and half of his body had been shattered and turned into interstellar dust, helplessly retracted the Setting Sun Bow into his personal space.
"This thing... I can't use it a second time at all..."
The Setting Sun Bow was indeed incredibly strong—he was only in the Heavenly Immortal realm, and with the help of the power of the Grand Celestial Stars Formation, he could shoot a gravitational arrow comparable to a black hole.
When he really became a Heavenly Venerate, the full-power strike would probably not be a gravitational well, but a genuine miniature black hole!
Was there any logic to this?!
Oh, I forgot, black holes are singularities, so that thing really has no logic.
But precisely because of this, the power of the Setting Sun Bow also had limitations—for example, the dangerous thing was that the bow and the person could be shot out together as an arrow, which made Su Zhou gulp.
The act of using oneself as an arrow had indeed happened in ancient legends. For example, the great hero Arash in Central Asian legends had once shot an arrow through the heavens and the earth with all his strength, causing himself to be torn apart and self-destructed—with the Setting Sun Bow, it wouldn't be torn apart, but the whole person would be swallowed into the gravitational well, and his soul would be destroyed...
Which one was more tragic was obvious.
Su Zhou himself, if he guaranteed that his state was complete, and he would not be swallowed by the gravitational well, he could only fire once at most. And the Central Divine Court powerhouse who held the bow and shot the Golden Crow demon ancestor in the past could only fire nine arrows in a row.
If you're not careful, this thing will become a self-detonating arrow technique...
At this moment.
The outer edge of the 火夕 (Huoxi) (Fire Dusk) Star Field.
A small fleet was rapidly sailing, intending to reach a safe area for a jump.
It was a secret fleet that had received orders before the arrival of the Earth fleet to secretly leave the 火夕 (Huoxi) (Fire Dusk) Star Field and head to other star fields, leaving behind the seeds of civilization.
"Eggs cannot be placed in one basket. We should not wait for accidents to happen without doing anything."
"The '遥点 (Yaodian) (Far Point)' fleet is equipped with a jump engine and a life-cycle system. As long as there is enough fuel, it can navigate in the universe for more than 150 years—this is enough for you to find a suitable life planet or a suitable energy collection point."
"Seeds may not sprout, but they must be scattered... This is our hope for you."
With such blessings and orders, the 遥点 (Yaodian) (Far Point) fleet was currently making short-range jumps, testing the performance of the jump engine while constantly moving away from the 火夕 (Huoxi) (Fire Dusk) Star Field.
On the fleet, everyone, including the captain, could not help but turn their heads and look in the direction of their hometown every time during a jump.
That was the direction they could never return to.
"Cheer up!"
At this moment, after a brief moment of darkness, the fleet commander spoke, interrupting the thoughts of many crew members: "According to observations, there is a planet in the soL star field, eleven light-years away from us, that may be habitable... Even if we don't stop there, we can definitely replenish the fleet's fuel and take a short rest!"
"We bear the hope of civilization, and we don't have time to be decadent now!"
The captain's voice was steady, powerful, and inspiring.
For a time, all the crew members regained their fighting spirit.
"Yes, it's too late to look now!"
"It's not too late to look back at our hometown after we get to the soL star field!"
"Very good, very spirited!"
Echoing answers sounded. Although they were not precious, the fleet commander was very satisfied with this, so he continued to strike while the iron was hot and issued an order: "Send my order, begin long-range experimental jumps!"
"Yes!"
Soon, the entire 遥点 (Yaodian) (Far Point) fleet was once again bustling with activity.
As the jump engine started, space-time rippled, and light shone. One after another, light circle vortices appeared in the vacuum of the universe.
Then, the fleet started, and layers of jump light curtains covered each ship. Then, it disappeared into the light circle.
The time of the jump was an instant. Like passing through a door, after a brief trance, space-time would be crossed, and the person who had experienced the jump would arrive at the other end of the universe.
But this was just the normal situation...
In the final analysis, the essence of the jump was to use spiritual energy to connect the space-time of two places, and then briefly connect the space-time coordinates between the two places, and exchange space.
Therefore, if there was an accident, the jumping ship was likely to be lost in hyperspace, which was located somewhere unknown, or even in an unknown universe.
Unfortunately, the current jump of the 遥点 (Yaodian) (Far Point) fleet had such an accident.
[Space-time distortion—we are near a super-spiritual energy distortion field! The jump is about to go wrong, our coordinates are chaotic!]
Suddenly, such a warning sounded, causing all fleet members to be stunned.
Super-spiritual energy distortion field... what was that?
When they set off, everything was clearly normal?!
However, just as everyone was at a loss, the fleet commander, who knew some secrets, turned his head in shock and looked in the direction of the home star.
They were currently located 1.2 light-years away from the 火夕 (Huoxi) (Fire Dusk) Star Field. The light they saw now was the light of Ross 128 from 1.2 years ago.
However, the fluctuation of spiritual energy was almost beyond time and space—its transmission, in the spirit world, was superluminal.
"Could it be... that the home star exploded..."
At the thought of this possibility, the commander's heart fell like a stone, but now was not the time to be sad. He immediately roared and issued an order: "Quick, stop the jump! Immediately!"
"Unable to stop, commander!"
The crew member who was controlling the jump, who had a certain spiritual energy talent, said in panic: "There is also a giant space-time distortion at the end of our coordinates... No, we, we are surrounded by who-knows-how-many space-time distortions?!"
At the end, the crew member's voice was full of despair: "We're done for, commander!"
"Nonsense!"
Biting his teeth and stepping forward, the fleet commander was also a spiritual energy user. He rudely pulled the crew member from his position and sat down himself.
Then, he also fell into confusion.
The perspective of the jump leader was a perspective that transcended space-time and was based on the spirit world. They could simultaneously see the starting and ending points of many coordinates, examine everything around them from a 360-degree angle, and determine whether there were unknown substances and spiritual energy fluctuations around the jump.
It was difficult for non-spiritual energy users to accept this abnormal extraordinary perspective.
But now, the fleet commander saw that in the vast, dark, and silent space that should have been, countless space-time distortion phenomena had suddenly appeared.
This could only prove one thing... that at least a dozen, dozens... no, hundreds of targets had chosen the area around the 火夕 (Huoxi) (Fire Dusk) Star Field as the 'jump end point'!
Not only that, but as the fleet commander thought, there were also extremely terrifying spiritual energy reactions on the home star behind them. Although it did not seem like a starburst, it was at least an unprecedented super burst that could extinguish all the fires of life in the entire star field!
"What, what's going on?!"
And in the super burst created by the home star, the jump trajectory of the entire 遥点 (Yaodian) (Far Point) fleet was distorted once again—the fleet commander felt dizzy at this moment, and the whole person was about to pass out. With his spiritual energy power, he was obviously unable to withstand such an impact.
However, just before he completely passed out, the fleet commander vaguely saw those 'beings' that seemed to be using the 火夕 (Huoxi) (Fire Dusk) Star Field as the jump end point.
The starlight shifted, space-time oscillated, and infinite brilliance flashed and connected like a galaxy. The giant biological fleet was marching in silence, and their fleet sprays rendered the dark universe into a dazzling and conspicuous gold, leaving a long and lasting trail.
——The 瑟诺斯提亚 (Senostia) (Xenostian) people's golden fleet was setting sail. At the call of their allies, they were moving forward at full speed.
The starry sea rippled, and celestial bodies shifted. Swarms of dark insects, like swarms of stars, were swarming. Their sizes varied, the smallest being like dust, and the largest being like moving mountains, floating continents in space.
——The subspace 蜉蝣 (Fuyou) (ephemeral) insect swarm sensed the aura of the Void Cult. These insects, which often devoured other civilizations but were always attacked and eliminated by the Void Cult, who were also cosmic enemies, were now seeking revenge.
The brilliance of nothingness shone, and the dim yellow mixed fleet was marching. The destruction Ai, leading the destruction fleet, was departing from its mechanical homeworld. Their steps were firm, uniform, and moved forward with the awe-inspiring force of disturbing space-time, as if to suppress and destroy everything.
——Sensing the request for help from the Void Cult members, the 石心 (Shixin) (Stoneheart) Destroyer Ai '碎界者 (Suijie Zhe) (World Breaker)' was dispatching a large army to aid at his fastest speed.
Not only that.
Far more than that.
The shocked fleet commander was simply unable to count how many fleets, how many super individuals, how many powerful, terrifying, majestic, and gentle civilizations would arrive in their home star field.
He could not even distinguish their camps, and he could not understand who they were coming here to help and who they were coming to destroy.
He knew nothing.
The only thing he knew was one thing.
"火夕 (Huoxi) (Fire Dusk) Star... When did it become the center of the galaxy?"
With this inexplicable feeling, the fleet commander simply fainted.
What he thought was indeed correct.
But the reason was wrong.
Because what had become the center of the galaxy was not '火夕 (Huoxi) (Fire Dusk) Star'.
But a human... and a cosmic behemoth.
[I'm going to kill you, damned Earthling!]
At this moment, 火夕月 (Huoxiyue) (Fire Dusk Moon) had been completely destroyed and reduced to ashes in the overly violent stellar changes.
The theoretically more miserable 星空巨蛋 (Xingkong Judan) (Star Giant Egg) had long since turned into light shards, scattered in the sky.
The area where the Star Eater Kroat's main body was originally located was now a completely empty area—the gravitational collapse attack of the Setting Sun Bow had destroyed more than half of the Star Eater's main body, causing him to completely lose the opportunity to restore his full strength.
However, right there, a mass of light was condensing in a furious mental wave, exuding an aura full of hatred and anger.
In this light, there was a faintly visible, extremely solid, although not large, but more dangerous aura than before, overflowing.
[I swear, I will completely destroy you, and then swallow you!]

"Because just now, I already killed you once."
"Naturally, I can kill you a second time."
