Chapter 471 The Tip of the Iceberg of the Milky Way

If someone were to look at the Laniakea Supercluster from a more macroscopic perspective, they would discover that a fleet of starships is moving at an extremely high speed from the Giant Ruler Cluster.

Meanwhile, a menacing-looking starship, resembling a weapon fortress, was traversing space in a leaping, undulating manner, following some kind of wave pattern.

Both of them are headed to the third planet of the Milky Way and the solar system.

Based on the distance between both sides and Blue Star, as well as the travel speed of both starships, the starship "Arbiter" should have already arrived at its destination, Blue Star, by the time the starship group reached the Virgo Supercluster and Local Group.

However, it is not.

The closer the Arbiter gets to the solar system, the slower its speed becomes.

The Star Alliance Council Army, led by the current councilor Lafarge, consisted of elite troops from the first-tier civilizations under Aura. They were a formidable force capable of easily sweeping through the galaxy.

When they arrived in the Milky Way, Lafarge detected the presence of the Arbiter.

"Huh? What's the Arbiter doing here?"

Ling: "【The Arbiter】? A lone wolf from the Star Alliance, a mysterious civilization that has interacted with the Zerg and the Spire Star Civilization? Aren't they focused on finding their Lord? Why are they in the Milky Way? Huh? There are people there!"

Lingmin Ruidi sensed a faint aura belonging to a Domain Lord.

He raised an eyebrow, his attitude toward the Milky Way becoming more serious.

What's so special about the Milky Way that it attracts so many Domain Lords?

As the Covenant fleet crossed the invisible boundary of the Milky Way, Lafarge and Ling, who had survived countless crises, felt a strong sense of unease almost simultaneously.

This unease, like a dark cloud, lingered and could not be dispelled.

Trusting his intuition, Lafarge immediately ordered the Covenant Council forces to retreat from the Milky Way and return to their home star cluster.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"Speaker, we cannot leave!"

The gravity alarm has turned into a sharp, piercing wail.

"Full power reverse! Immediately!" Lafarge's voice boomed over the alarm, his knuckles turning white from the force.

His inner unease was almost tangible, causing his entire body to turn bright red due to the excessive heat.

Lafarge's expression was extremely grim. He swore he felt exactly the same way when he was about to fail at breaking the spirit barrier!
This is a feeling of despair where the entire person, from the physical to the conscious level, is reduced to ashes.

Outside the window, the once tranquil and slowly rotating Milky Way now resembles a gaping maw of an abyss awakening.

An invisible force field tentacle gripped the Covenant Council forces tightly.

"Engine overloaded by 120%! Output power is being absorbed!"

Chief Engineer Terra's voice trembled with shock, and the energy curve on the screen plummeted as if crashing down a cliff. "Sir, this isn't gravity... it's eating our energy!"

The ship groaned under the strain, the metallic clanging sound like the wail of a dying beast. Despite its desperate struggle, the massive starship was irresistibly dragged toward the eerily calm Milky Way.

“Impossible…” Lafarge’s assistant, Don Baiora, stared intently at the sensor, his face deathly pale. “Our mass is like dust in front of it! What kind of power is this?”

"Full steer injectors! Even a one-degree lateral shift!" Lafarge roared.

The members of the Covenant Council were soaked in sweat.

“No response! We…we’re like insects trapped in amber!” His voice trembled unusually. “All vectors are locked. It’s not pulling us…it’s the space around it that’s dragging us down with it!”

Lafarge could no longer care about anything else and roared at the spirit not far away, "It's too dangerous here! We must cooperate. If you're willing to cooperate, I'm willing to consider your proposal."

Lafarge's words were exactly what Ling wanted to hear.

Ling's flagship has also been dragged into the Milky Way, but the Domain Lord has his own way of handling things.

Once they enter the fourth dimension...

"How...how could this be?! Why can't I enter the fourth dimension?!" Ling's reaction was even more terrified than the members of the Star Alliance fleet.

His composure just now was entirely due to the support of his fourth dimension. But now, this seemingly simple dimensional ascension, as easy as eating and drinking, has been locked!

Without the fourth dimension, the Domain Lord's body and consciousness would need to rely on starships to travel through space.

In other words, the Spirits, like the Covenant Council forces, were completely locked down in the Milky Way.

The spirit was filled with fear.

Ling is questioning the meaning of life.

Only a super gravitational source, such as an extremely large black hole, can prevent a Domain Lord from entering the fourth dimension.

However, the entire Laniakea Supercluster has only one gravitational center, which belongs to the Hydra-Centaurus Group and has a mass equivalent to tens of thousands of Milky Way galaxies.

Apart from that, they did not find any other gravitational sources.

"Lafarge, we're in big trouble."

After Lafarge's own failed attempt to enter the fourth dimension, he calmed down and said without any emotion, "Yes, I know. We've all fallen for their trap."

A deeper chill crept up my spine.

Lafarge suddenly pointed at the main screen, his voice hoarse: "Look outside."

It's possible that they've determined the captured prey can't escape.

The Milky Way has finally revealed just the tip of the iceberg to everyone.

That is its true appearance, not the ordinary thing that all detection methods show.

Outside the porthole, countless pieces of wreckage, like withered leaves swept into an invisible waterfall, silently and evenly slid towards the Milky Way, or rather, the solar system.

There are unfamiliar starship fragments, asteroid remnants, and even a huge, moon-like structure.

Seeing the scene before them, which resembled a silent graveyard, Lafarge and Ling fell silent.

Ling finally realized just how powerful the Arbiter was.

Of all the debris, only the Arbiter is still approaching Earth in a comical and peculiar way, under the strange and powerful pull of gravity.

Ling stared at the starship wreckage that was rapidly filling her field of vision, all the words stuck in her throat.

How ridiculous he was to think that the solar system could be easily manipulated!

He opened his mouth, but only managed to utter a few words, a mixture of cold, unbelievable disbelief shared by the entire ship:

Where...are we?

This could never be an ordinary galaxy.

Absolutely not! It's impossible!
Despite everyone's utter horror, the starship was still irreversibly sliding into the abyss.

Meanwhile, Zichen and Yeyemengjiade, who were in the solar system, keenly noticed something unusual.

A curved fragment, only 15 square meters in size, was floating quietly behind them.

Zi Chen's voice was hoarse, and a chill ran down his spine: "I'm absolutely certain that there was nothing there before."

Jormungandr closed his eyes tightly. He should have been surprised, but a strange feeling arose in his heart that he knew it was true.

He knew this would happen.

"Zichen, go and see what that is?"

Thanks for the invitation. Jormungandr is already exhausted and really doesn't want to take another step.

Zichen glanced at him, but still obediently went.

After a long while, Zichen returned and asked expressionlessly, "Um... about Mom's love and all that, could you tell me more about it? What's going on?"
