My portable grandfather refreshes every week

Everyone stared in disbelief at the images transmitted back by the Evil Eye. The twisted and enormous energy aggregate stood in the deepest part of this subspace, like a colossal monster lurking in the deep sea, twisted and ferocious.

It seems that He has always been here, never moved a step, nor changed any position. To this day, all hypotheses and concepts about the warp have been completely overturned. This entire twisted immortal monster in the depths of the warp proves that there are still countless unexplored places in this world.

And... if this is the true form of an immortal monster, a wicked god dwelling in the deepest part of the warp...

Are those so-called apostles merely puppets that used the power of this warp god?

"Is this the truth at the end of the subspace?" The nun next to Xue Luding stared blankly at the monster that was perched there, unaware that the cigarette butt in her mouth had fallen to the ground.

Xue Luding felt that her state was very strange. When she looked at the immortal evil god, she did not have any surprise or fear. On the contrary, her eyes were full of... longing.

Not sure if she was seeing things or if it was just her imagination, she quickly lit another cigarette.

Continuing to think about the Apostle, he had absolutely no idea about the relationship between the Apostle and this warp god. However, even though this warp god had discovered the Evil Eye and Hassan, it did not make any move and remained quietly entrenched here.

It was as if He was meant to be there, eternally entrenched, showing no reaction whatsoever to this outsider who had intruded into His territory.

After probing this overwhelming energy monster for a long time, the Evil Eye finally realized that it truly had no offensive capabilities and began to venture further and further into the depths of the warp with Hassan.

"It seems we were wrong. The end of the subspace is not the outer universe. On the contrary, the deeper you go into the subspace, the higher and more concentrated the energy density becomes," the Mimic King explained the scene in the Evil Eye.

"I can sense that this distorted energy realm is very close to the end of the warp, but here we have completely overturned our previous theories and conjectures. At the end of the warp, there is actually a group of energy creatures born from 'philosophy' and 'concepts'."

“Even the real bodies of these energy creatures are extremely powerful! I can sense that even if my real body came here, I would probably only be able to stand on equal footing with those energy monsters.”

The words of the Mimic King surprised everyone, as this was the first time the so-called strongest being in the universe had ever spoken like this.

However, the exploration continues.

Xue Dinglu continued to look at the image of Senior Hassan. At this moment, more colorful lights appeared in the entire image, and more energy channels, like blood vessels and meridians, spread throughout this unique world, bizarre and dreamlike.

The immortal power within him subsided slightly, but Xue Dinglu did not lower his guard. Instead, he stared intently at the screen, a terrifying guess forming in his mind…

Could the Apostles be individuals projected into the real universe by this warp god?
Or perhaps, they are individuals selectively and distorted by the Lord of the Mist?

For all the interstellar squadrons, this was a scene they could hardly imagine. What followed was the discovery of even more strange creatures from the depths of the warp, twisted and bizarre, some incredibly powerful, others incredibly weak energy beings.

They would fight each other, and right in the Mimic King's field of vision, a subspace creature would grab a weaker one and completely engulf and devour it like a single-celled organism, growing stronger as it did so.

This seems to be the law of survival here: killing and devouring. The ultimate goal of any warp creature is to consume other creatures to make itself stronger.

But if even immortal monsters can roam here... then...

Soon, Hassan and the Evil Eye encountered another incredibly terrifying monster.

It was a greedy, gigantic maw, terrifyingly filling almost the entire field of vision. Countless energy creatures that passed by the maw were instantly sucked up and devoured. What they thought was an enormous void in the universe was actually a mouth!

And this twisted monster that is made entirely of a mouth!

[Have you faced the true form...?]

[Let's temporarily name this ??? "Greed!"]

The giant maw seemed to have spotted Hassan and the Evil Eye, and a tremendous suction force swept over them, swallowing up all the colorful light in the entire subspace.

The Evil Eye was almost sucked in, and even Hassan's ethereal energy was becoming increasingly unstable, seemingly on the verge of exploding at any moment...

"Hassan, Hassan! Hold on, we haven't reached the end yet, hold on, don't lose control of the Void here, don't let the outside world affect you... Go, hurry up and go!" Evil Eye immediately came to Hassan's side.

However, the Mimic King here now only has one eye, not his true form, which makes him completely unable to stop Hassan's mutation.

However, Hassan quickly reached out, and in an instant, the twisted void monster rushed towards the greedy maw that was constantly devouring. As if it had swallowed something indescribable, the maw stopped devouring abruptly and began to erupt with indescribable distortion and chaos in this subspace.

“Hassan, you…” Evil Eye immediately looked at Hassan’s hand. At this moment, they had escaped the swallowing range of the giant mouth, but Hassan had lost an arm.

“Since He wanted to eat, I gave Him one of my arms. Unfortunately, I couldn’t control myself. The arm became a void monster as soon as it left me… I originally wanted to unleash the Great Void after He ate it,” Hassan said expressionlessly.

Even his empty arm, devoid of any blood or other substance, was completely covered in black. He showed no intention of regrowing his arm, instead saying, "Let's move on. I think there are many more monsters waiting for us."

The Mimic King remained silent. Here, he was of no help whatsoever. If his true form had come, he might have been able to hold off those warp-space evil gods, but now he had only brought one of his eyes.

This also proves that even in the deepest part of this subspace, the void monsters remain the most powerful force.

As they continued onward, they encountered even more twisted monsters.

A distorted star cluster resembling a collection of billions of pathogens, enormous energy creatures that constantly shift and resemble twisted ocean jellyfish, and even deeper within, they encountered countless more identical... swarm-like monsters...

They attacked in droves, and were constantly splitting apart.

The Mimic King, controlling the Evil Eye, immediately prepared for battle. Just as Hassan was about to throw out another illusory monster, a sudden burst of light dispelled all the continuously splitting energy swarms.

In that light, the monsters fled like mice seeing a cat, disappearing into the deeper reaches of the warp.

When the Evil Eye looked over, it found that even the Mimic King's eyeballs could not see anything, only endless light, light that filled the entire field of vision.

Everyone in the Starfleet was completely bewildered, because all they could see was a white light, nothing at all.

Of all the light, only Hassan remained as a tiny black dot, because the overflowing void energy emanating from his body even devoured the light, making him seem like the most greedy monster.

"Are there monsters of this level in the subspace...?" came the voice of the Mimic King. It was as if only this light remained in the entire world. His heart became more and more silent, and he even prepared to sever the connection with the Evil Eye at any time.

“Let’s go, He means no harm,” Hassan said. The Mimic King: “?”

“He is very strong. Unless I unleash the Void Monster completely, we will all be utterly crushed by Him, just like those warp creatures that attacked us. This is the second most powerful creature I have found after the Void Monster.” Hassan said casually, completely ignoring the huge source of light behind him, and continued forward.

"Let's go."

"Oh." The Evil Eye continued to follow Hassan. At this moment, thanks to the adjustments made by the Mimic King, the Evil Eye's vision was now half light and half darkness, allowing him to finally see part of the situation.

But after they had advanced a certain distance, they found that the position of the light source had not changed. They then realized that the evil god of the light was following them closely like a hunter, without changing the distance at all.

No matter how they moved forward, exploring deeper into the subspace, the large orb of light followed them like a shadow, always at a constant distance.

"Damn it, I knew it wasn't that simple." The Mimic King kept glancing at the large ball of light.

“Maybe this is a good thing. After all, look, since He came with us, no other monsters dare to come near,” Hassan said, seemingly trying to find humor in his misery.

"But I feel that this monster is even stronger than everything we've seen before combined..."

“So what? You know He is stronger, and you only have one eye now, so you can’t do anything. We have basically achieved our goal. The intelligence and data we have gathered are enough to overturn your basic theories. All that’s left is for me to see the true end of the warp…” Hassan said.

There was something he didn't say: he sensed something calling to him from the depths of the warp, so he wanted to go and see, to see that place, to see the true end of the warp...

This was not only a requirement of the Starfleet, but also something he had always wanted to do.

After losing an arm, the void erosion on his body seemed to grow even larger. Every moment, it seemed as if void monsters were about to emerge from Hassan's body. Sometimes, he would even grow two heads, and the void monsters' heads would try to devour Hassan's original head.

But Hassan skillfully defused these attacks and completely suppressed these illusory monsters.

"Are you alright? How much longer can you hold on?" asked the Mimic King.

"I don't know, but time is running out, it's almost here..." Hassan continued forward, relentlessly advancing towards the deepest part of the warp, the large sphere of light behind him remaining in the same position.

The distance between us remains constant.

But now, Hassan cared about nothing; his gaze remained fixed on the end of that subspace.

They crossed the shattered plains formed by energy impacts, traversed the densely packed warp barriers, and finally, as they scaled the surging, violent warp tides, the giant orb of light behind them finally couldn't resist making its move.

He did not attack, but instead resisted the incoming energy tide, preventing the complete activation of the void monster within Hassan.

"Thank you... thank you..." The Mimic King thanked the nameless subspace evil god.

He didn't understand at all why this guy not only didn't attack, but seemed to have been protecting them just now, but that didn't matter anymore.

According to Hassan, they would be there soon.

After traversing this terrifying energy tide zone, they finally seemed to have arrived at the edge of the warp, an endless expanse...

“Why is there nothing here? Isn’t this the end of the warp?” Evil Eye asked Hassan.

Hassan was still the one leading this exploration, as he always had the direction of the end of the warp. This is because here, it is impossible to accurately find the direction of the end with just one evil eye. There is no direction or reference here, and you can only rely on your senses. This is why the Mimic King had only explored as far as the depths as he could before.

They retreated after exploring that dark, matter-free area.

Now, they have discovered not only vast clusters of subspace energy and various energy-generated monsters in the deeper parts of the subspace, but also a god-like being lurking in the deepest part of this subspace.

And this large, luminous sphere that always followed behind them, its meaning unclear.

I had thought that there would be something even more worthwhile to explore at the end of the warp.

But there was nothing there...

There was nothing at all—no energy, no light from the perspective of the Evil Eye, utter nothingness. Even the terrifying sphere of light behind him vanished completely in the distance, revealing nothing.

"Is this the end of the subspace?" asked the Mimic King.

“Didn’t you see?” Hassan said, turning his head. His body was no longer that of the little black man, but had completely twisted into a monstrous, ethereal form…

"What do you see?" The Evil Eye looked into the empty end, and seeing that the few old friends who could talk to him seemed to have completely lost control of the monster in his heart, he suddenly felt an indescribable emotion.

"Isn't He... all here?" Hassan retorted, as if He had completely transformed into a monster of nothingness, and slowly walked forward again. Just as the Evil Eye was about to follow, the large ball of light intervened and blocked the small eyeball.

“The end of the warp is nothingness…” Hassan murmured.

In an instant, the Evil Eye's vision was completely distorted. The seemingly boundless "nothingness" just moments before transformed into a terrifying void.

The twisted, monstrous void completely took over Hassan's body. Without any struggle, the void devoured him, twisting and swaying, step by step, as if stepping onto the stairs at the end of this warp.

"Sorry, I'll be going now..." The ethereal monster actually grinned and uttered these words.

However, the next moment, a huge rift opened up behind it, swallowing the ethereal monster.

Then, as if the entire void had never existed, everything vanished once more, leaving only nothingness...

Only the silent evil eye remained, watching all of this unfold, along with countless others in the interstellar column who shared the same vision as the Mimic King.

"At the edge of the subspace, there is nothingness..." (End of Chapter)
