Sky Curtain: The Darwin Incident at the outset, the Declaration of the People's League

“Your Majesty, the Taotie commander says…they dare not.”

"...A bunch of cowards!"

Earth·Giant Gorge:

The members of the Super Soldier Company gathered on the deck, gazing up at the night sky.

"Holy crap, what is that?" Ge Xiaolun pointed at the sky. "I can't be seeing things, right? You all saw it, didn't you?"

Rose kicked him in annoyance, then pulled up the satellite data.

"It appeared simultaneously worldwide. The altitude... is unmeasurable because it has no physical altitude. All observers say they saw it, but radar, infrared, all detectors show 'nothing there.'"

Qi Lin gripped her sniper rifle tightly. "This is the cosmic-level event Lena was talking about?"

General Dukao stood in the command room, his face grave.

He knew more than the warriors: there was no similar record in the database of the Deno system. This was not the technology of any known civilization.

“Contact Wukong,” he said to Lianfeng. “Tell him that other forces may be planning to take action against Earth.”

Stellaris Universe

Human Federation Capital Galaxy

The science director's tentacles danced wildly on the control panel.

"This is impossible! The underlying information structure of the universe has been rewritten! It's like... like someone inserted a comment into the source code!"

"Calm down, Doctor."

The federal president's holographic image flashed: "Detailed report."

“A… interface. Every conscious observer in the entire universe can ‘see’ it, no matter where they are or how they observe it. It ignores the speed of light limit, ignores dimensional differences, and even ignores whether it is in the real universe—the same projection appears in all dimensions.”

The meeting room erupted in an uproar.

The representative of the materialist faction slammed his fist on the table: "This is an idealist conspiracy! It must be the work of those civilizations that believe in gods!"

The psychic representative sneered: "Our prophets saw the same thing, and their precognitive abilities all failed because of this 'canopy.' Do you think we brought this upon ourselves?"

Representatives of the Hive Mindset echoed in unison: "The collective consciousness network has detected 'external input.' This is not the thought of any known individual."

The representative of the mechanical intelligent civilization—a smooth metal sphere—said in an emotionless voice: "This is a threat. It is recommended to initiate a rehearsal of the 'Purge Protocol'."

"Rejected!" the president roared. "No one is allowed to act rashly until we figure out what this is!"

Honkai Impact: Star Railway Universe

Star Train

"Aunt Himeko! Come quick!" March Seven pointed out the viewing window: "There's something outside!"

The members of the Star Train gathered in the observation car.

The sky outside the window was not the usual starry sky, but a thin, translucent film of light with symbols they did not recognize flowing across it.

Walter Young adjusted his glasses. This wasn't imaginary energy, nor was it a phenomenon of the quantum sea...

Dan Heng gripped the sword tightly: "Train conductor, can you detect a threat?"

Pam nervously operated the control panel: "The train's protective shield is completely ineffective against it, but it also shows no intention of attacking, Pam. It's like... like someone put a poster on the train, Pam."

Kafka's voice came through the communicator: "Interesting. Even Elio's script didn't mention this."

"What do you know, Kafka?"

Ji Zi asked.

"What I do know is... that fate is going off track."

Kafka's voice carried a hint of amusement: "Perhaps, something unexpected is finally about to happen."

The Immortal Boat "Luofu":

General Jingyuan stood on the top floor of the Shence Mansion, gazing calmly at the strange phenomenon in the sky.

"General, reports have come from all departments that the sky has covered the entire immortal ship, and even the interior of the cave can be seen."

Fu Xuan's voice came through the communicator: "The Grand Diviner attempted divination, but all the hexagrams... failed completely; nothing was seen."

“Even the guidance of the Star God of Hunting is blurred,” Jing Yuan said softly. “It seems this is… an existence beyond the Star God?”

Interstellar Peace Corporation:

Emergency board meeting.

"This is a business opportunity!" one director exclaimed excitedly. "If we could analyze this universal broadcasting technology, our advertisements could cover the entire galaxy!"

"It could also mean the complete collapse of the existing business system," another director said coldly. "If all civilizations can directly receive information, our information monopoly advantage will vanish."

Louis Fleming straightened his tie: “First, figure out what content this thing is going to play. Then… assess its commercial value, or its threat level.”

Deep in the universe.

The person wearing the red mask looked at the suddenly appearing sky and grinned.

"Ah, I love watching the fun!"

【Genshin Universe】

Teyvat

Mondstadt, Anemo Statue Square.

Wendy, unusually, didn't drink; instead, she looked up at the sky.

He plucked the strings, and a wisp of wind element flew into the sky, but vanished without a trace the moment it touched that invisible barrier.

"Even elemental power cannot penetrate it..."

He muttered to himself, "This is not the law of Teyvat."

At the Knights' headquarters, Grand Master Jean asked with a grave expression, "Lisa, what are the test results?"

In the library, Lisa unusually put down her book, the magic circle in front of her flickering with an unstable light: "Darling, this is beyond the records of the grimoire. It doesn't belong to any of the seven elements, nor does it seem like the power of the abyss... rather, it seems like... something from 'outside the world'."

Liyue Harbor:

Zhongli stood atop Tianheng Mountain, arms crossed.

Is this thing in the sky something created by the laws of nature?

No, that doesn't seem right.

As one of the oldest gods, he experienced the complete "unknown" for the first time.

Inazuma Castle:

Ying opened her eyes.

She could see the sky even in the Pure Land of One Heart.

"Eternity... has been disturbed."

She said in a low voice.

Sumeru Teaching Academy:

The great sages were arguing amongst themselves.

"This is a re-enactment of Red King Technology!"

"No, this is even more advanced than Crimson King Technology! Even the Void Terminal can't analyze it!"

Nasita was trapped in a cage, her small brows furrowed.

A small screen also appeared in front of her.

She tried to connect the consciousness of all the Sumeru people with dreams, but the existence of the celestial canopy acted like a wall, blocking the flow of consciousness.

"Outside the world?"

Just as Ying was about to leave Mondstadt for Liyue, she looked up at the sky and didn't know what to say for a moment.

She might have seen this thing in some other world before?

Ling Cage Universe

lighthouse.

"Lord! An unusual light and shadow have appeared in the sky!"

Jingnan's voice carried an unusual air of panic.

What is this?

Ran Bing gripped her weapon tightly.

"Could it be a remnant of the old world?"

Dr. Carrie frantically analyzed the data: "No... no, I checked all the signals and found nothing. It's like this appeared out of thin air."

Charles's face darkened. "Is this a harbinger? Or a warning?"

Old Lord Morgan stared at the light screen, a complex expression flashing in his eyes.

He was reminded of the insane genetic experiments of the old world, the disasters caused by humans trying to play God.

"Everyone," he said in a deep voice, "prepare for battle."

Dragon Bone Village.

After calming the others down, Bai Yuekui also looked up at the thing that had suddenly appeared.

This appears to be some kind of projection technology.

Are they the guys who left Earth back then?

Rick and Morty

C-137 Space

"Wow! Rick! Look up at the sky!" Morty pointed out the window. "What the hell is that?"

Rick took a sip of his drink and burped: "Hiccup—some stupid cosmic billboard. Maybe some advanced civilization from another dimension is peddling their... I don't know, cosmic vacuum cleaners or something."

"Should we go take a look?"
