Swallowing the Stars: Analyzing All Things

The spaceship traveled through the fog.

We bypassed one massive, atomized piece of debris after another.

About half an hour later, a change finally appeared on the watch screen. Two green dots lit up almost simultaneously, flashing quietly and clearly at the coordinates of area B6.

Followed by.

A communication connection notification tone sounded in the command center.

"Longko, you've finally arrived."

A rough voice came from the communication channel, with a hint of laughter. Lin Yan recognized it as the voice of the captain of the seventh squad, a veteran who had been on the battlefield outside the region for thousands of years.

"Enough nonsense." Longko chuckled, his tone noticeably more relaxed. "When will the main force of the legion arrive?"

"At the latest, one standard hour."

Another calm voice came in, speaking at a measured pace. It was the captain of the third squad. He said in a steady tone, "Come and join us first. We'll hear the commander's instructions once everyone is here."

The spaceship slowly entered the depths of Sector B6 and stopped between two huge, atomized debris.

"Everyone, exit the cabin."

wow——

The hatch opened, and the team members filed out, hovering in the void. Longko waved his hand and put the spaceship away.

The eleven people stood silently in the starry sky, surrounded by endless misty debris and dark void.

"Lonko, you've finally arrived!"

Two figures shot towards them from a distance at great speed. Lin Yan looked up and immediately recognized their faces.

The man in the lead was burly with piercing eyes, while the man behind him was lean and wiry, his sharp eyes constantly scanning the surrounding void with extreme vigilance.

"Iron Tiger, Old Mo."

Longko stepped forward and said, "We were delayed by the energy shielding of the fog zone on the way. If it weren't for the military system, I wouldn't have been able to receive the private signals you two sent at all."

"normal."

Mo Ran, the leader of the third squad, nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Lin Yan and the others. "The fog concentration in this area is higher than indicated in the intelligence report, which will affect normal communication and detection."

The three squads met up, while the thirty-three men were scattered around, all patiently waiting for the arrival of the legion's main force.

A standard time is fleeting.

"They're here."

Mo Ran suddenly looked up, gazing into the distant void.

Lin Yan followed his gaze and saw only endless milky white mist flowing in the void.

But soon, he felt a tremor, and the atomized debris beneath his feet was shaking slightly.

A glimmer of light appeared deep within the mist.

What came into view was a huge ship silhouette, entirely black, with the insignia of the 477th Legion branded on its hull.

A full-strength army.

According to the standard organization of human extraterritorial battlefields, a complete legion is led by an immortal god, with one hundred realm lords, one thousand domain lords, and ten thousand cosmic-level warriors under its command.

The spaceship gradually slowed down.

Countless figures flew out from it, with cosmic-level warriors wearing uniform battle suits, domain lord-level powerhouses leading their squads scattered around, and world lords hovering at the forefront.

As for the military commander, he never showed up.

The immortal gods are not the legion's caretakers; their task is merely to deal with the immortal gods of other races and prevent them from slaughtering others. Ordinary military affairs are handled by the realm lords and commanders.

Longke, Tiehu, and Mo Ran exchanged a few words in hushed tones, and then each led their squads back to their respective units.

Awaiting military orders.

……

The other side of the meteor shower belt.

A demon army was quietly infiltrating. Unlike the disciplined and solemn human army, this group looked disheveled.

The formation was loose and chaotic, and some of the spaceships were covered with scorch marks and cracks, as if they had just gone through a fierce battle.

Inside a spaceship in the center of the legion.

The atmosphere was so heavy it seemed like it could drip water, with several demon realm lords sitting around the command platform.

"Lady Naya has been held up."

A realm lord clad in dark red armor spoke first, his voice filled with barely suppressed anxiety, "I suggest we return directly to the base and wait until the master is free before making any further plans."

"No!"

A realm lord covered in jet-black armor immediately stopped them, "The legion system hasn't issued a retreat order, so we can't leave. Don't you know what the crime of desertion is?"

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

The realm lord in dark red armor abruptly turned to stare at it, "Without an immortal god to guard us, we're just a piece of easy prey in this star belt. Once the human immortals catch up, none of us will escape!"

A legion.

Without the presence of an immortal god and the protection of the highest combat power, if they encounter a complete enemy legion, then only annihilation awaits them.

That's enough.

A hoarse voice silenced the argument.

In the corner, a realm lord curled up, its eight outstretched limbs stopped moving. It slowly raised one of its forelimbs and pointed to a location on the star map.

"Although we have entered the Fogfall Star Belt, for our safety, it is best to put those demon warriors into our world rings as soon as possible. Even if we are attacked, it will be easier for us to escape."

This statement came out.

A brief silence fell over the command center.

"no."

Suddenly, a voice broke the silence, and the demon lord, a human-shaped wolf-beast, swept his cold gaze across the scene.

"Now that they've joined the legion, they must follow the legion's rules. How can they be trained if they're all put into the world ring? Which strong person wasn't forged in the crucible of life and death?"

It sneered, "Hiding under the wings of the strong, one will never truly grow."

This made sense, causing the other realm lords to exchange bewildered glances. More importantly, this realm lord with a human body and a wolf's head was from the royal family. Although his strength was relatively ordinary among them, his status and position were the highest.

And just as they hesitated.

The fleet had entered an area densely packed with fogged debris. The milky white fog was even thicker, layer upon layer, surrounding the fleet and obscuring the entire vessel in a hazy mist.

"boom--"

Without warning, a beam of destructive light shot out from the depths of the white mist.

Too fast!

suddenly!

The beam of light was directly in front of one of the spaceships.

The spaceship instantly vaporized; its outer shell, cabins, armor, and all the demon warriors inside turned to ashes in that instant, leaving not even a wreckage behind.

Only a faint halo of light rippled outwards, before being swallowed up by the surging milky white mist.

"Enemy attack!"

The demon realm lords, realizing what was happening, simultaneously launched an attack, unleashing the power of the world in an attempt to retract the entire demon fleet into their world rings.

But it was too late.

The second beam of light, the third beam of light...

More than ten beams of light shot out from all directions almost simultaneously, weaving together a net of destruction. Three more spaceships disintegrated within the beams of light, with fragments and debris flying everywhere. Many demon warriors were thrown into the void.

Some were instantly killed by the aftershocks of the energy, while others frantically searched for cover in the fog.

"It's a human army!"

"They're lying in ambush here!"

A demon realm lord roared furiously, spreading his arms wide, and the power of the world swept wildly in all directions.

"Spread out!"
