Chapter 308
Once a fleet directly under the Star Alliance, playing an indispensable role as arbiters wherever they went, they now found themselves relegated to mere 'spectators,' excluded from the fray of battle and unable to intervene.
Moreover, their detection instruments were specifically designed for wormholes, so everyone present understood that the possibility of an overload was extremely low.
The answer could only be one—
At last, everything had reached a critical point.
A black spot spread out, and in the three-dimensional universe, a two-dimensional 'line' underwent a transformation, leaping out from a white point, and then silently dispersing into strands that were nearly impossible to detect in the vastness of three-dimensional space.
In the next moment, Ye Bai, still with her eyes closed, curled her lips into a smile.
Within the realm of time and space, a familiar wave of psychic energy suddenly surged forth.
……
“What—?”
The members of the Star Church, trapped in the realm of time and space, sensed the sudden energy fluctuation from the wormhole, their thoughts slowed down, plunging them into a seemingly 'long' state of shock.
Meanwhile, those outside the realm, who had not yet entered, quickly became alert, locking their attacks onto the shifting wormhole.
As soon as the enemy emerged from the distorted passage of the wormhole, they would be met with a barrage of long-range attacks powered by cosmic 'authority.'
However, when everything unfolded, they were caught off guard; even locking onto the enemy proved to be incredibly difficult—
Despite the immense, undeniable energy that had gathered in the wormhole, as that psychic force escaped, it burst forth like fireworks—dazzling for a moment before scattering and hiding within the deep, vast universe.
A group of A and B-level powerhouses could only make educated guesses about the enemy's possible trajectory and landing point, unleashing various attacks.
“How is this possible?!”
The horror of the Star Church members who had unleashed their attacks was palpable. Their once-reliable Star Technology, their trump card, had suddenly exhibited an unprecedented deviation that had never occurred in the millions of years since the birth of the universe.
What should have been a 'collapsing' gravitational trap turned into an irregular repulsion; what should have been a straight-line electromagnetic cannon bent; what should have been a locked gene erasure program veered off and struck a nearby church member, causing their genes to collapse and die in an instant…
The realization of this left the members of the Star Church in uncontrollable panic, a situation more devastating than the emergence of another super A-level powerhouse from the wormhole!
In the past, the Star Church wielded cosmic authority, standing above all, hardly even acknowledging the Star Alliance. If it weren't for the 'Will of the Stars' prohibiting them from conquering civilizations, they could have flattened the universe with their advantage in authority.
Now, with the instability of Star Technology for the first time, many church members experienced a collapse of their life beliefs and understanding, plunging into unprecedented chaos.
As the church members floundered in confusion, the black lines that had split apart had already approached them unnoticed.
In the next moment, the lines suddenly split open, transforming into pairs of blood-red eyes.
When these abruptly appearing gazes fell upon them, the church members, already experiencing intense psychological turmoil due to the changes in Star Technology, erupted like hot oil splattering into cold water, descending into madness.
In their frenzy, the church members turned their attacks on their own allies. Even though Star Technology had become unstable, the chaotic and dense mutual attacks led to significant casualties within their ranks.
“Run!”
The luckiest few members on the outer edge, witnessing the chaos, chose to abandon ship and opened a miniature wormhole to escape.
However, the once most practical miniature wormholes also fell victim to instability. Most who entered the wormhole found themselves far off from their intended destination, some landing directly on a star and being burned alive, while others, the 'fortunate ones,' were torn apart by spatial rifts, spilling out as indistinguishable masses of flesh from the other end of the wormhole.
Ironically, only those attackers 'paused' in the realm of time and space, unable to utilize Star Technology due to their slowed thoughts and actions, managed to survive temporarily.
Once the lines emerged from the wormhole, they directly joined the battle, effectively dismantling most of the attackers outside the realm of time and space.
“Beep! Beep! Beep!”
Simultaneously, the nearest Star Alliance space station and various combat and non-combat starships began to emit unusual alerts.
When people heard the alerts and checked, they found nothing amiss.
The 'anomaly' they failed to detect existed in the minuscule pixels at the edges of their displays. The two-dimensional lines infiltrated these technological constructs as if they were swimming in water, just as they had once read various extraordinary texts in the myriad realms. Though these two forms of technology were incompatible, it did not hinder their rapid learning and comprehension.
Nearby Star Alliance troops and interstellar citizens assumed the instrument anomalies were caused by the emergence of a powerful psychic entity, never suspecting that these instruments had been 'hacked' in such a fantastical manner.
However, in the following moments, they had no attention left to investigate the anomalies further.
Within the wormhole, after the black lines appeared in this world, a crack was left behind at the point of white light. Shortly after the attackers outside fell into chaos, the crack showed no signs of healing; instead, it grew larger.
The detection equipment, already damaged from energy overload, could not issue a warning, but this time, the entity coalescing from that crack did not require energy detection.
The next scene that unfolded left everyone present with goosebumps and their minds blank.
A jagged facial structure, sharp fangs, golden eyes… slowly emerged from the crack, gracefully flying out amidst the spatial distortions of the wormhole, and what initially appeared to be a small figure gradually expanded, growing to the size of the ancient dragon they had seen in StarNet news.
The ancient dragon! The very same ancient dragon that had appeared in Bai Ye City!
Bai Ye, Ye Bai, the dragon… still unclear why Ye Bai, a commander with such a high bounty, felt a sudden clarity, understanding the reason.
But… after the dragon's appearance, everything did not end!
The crack twisted slightly again, and a green light emerged from within, coalescing into a slender figure familiar to any player from the myriad realms.
“The Elf Queen…”
The personnel responsible for relaying real-time information to the Star Alliance reinforcements through StarNet momentarily fell into confusion, forgetting their duties.
Then, amidst this bewilderment, they saw a red tentacle emerge from the crack.
However, after it appeared, as if feeling crowded, the tentacle quickly retracted. Moments later, a small, short arm reached out from the crack, dragging out a cute girl with red hair and green eyes.
The girl did not appear alone; she was also pulling along a swirling mass of flame radiating energy like a star. Upon entering reality, the flame underwent some form of reshaping, ultimately forming the familiar silhouette of a high-level demon known to players from the myriad realms.
Only when the last two beings from the myriad realms, both undeniably super A-level powers, arrived in this world did the crack finally cease its distortion, the light points shrinking and disappearing, and the wormhole returning to normal.
Yet even so, no one could ignore the fact that five super A-level powerhouses had emerged from within!
What on earth was happening?! Why had god-level NPCs from the myriad realms appeared in reality?!
The shock, confusion, and helplessness of the onlookers did not affect the five kings of the divine realm emerging from the crack.
Upon their arrival, faced with the situation before them, they hesitated not for a moment and immediately entered combat mode.
For the NPCs from the myriad realms, recognizing someone had always been about information and energy, that is, the spiritual body. Regardless of whether Ye Bai's appearance differed in reality from that in the game, in the eyes of the five kings of the divine realm, she was always the essence of Ye Bai.
After breaking through the dimensional barrier, the barrier that had previously obscured their understanding of players and the distinction between game and reality vanished. As they reconstructed information energy with the material of this universe, they began to adapt to and understand this world while simultaneously witnessing an enemy attacking Ye Bai, seamlessly joining the battle.
The realm of time and space embraced these familiar auras, allowing them to fight freely in this area where time had slowed down.
