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

Jingyuan put down the cup of tea, which had long since gone cold.

"The Grand Diviner".

"what happened?"

"You said that our Immortal Ship Alliance has pursued the 'hunting' path for seven thousand years—what if one day we become powerful enough to extinguish stars, rewrite civilizations, and make all worlds submit—"

He paused.

"Could we also become what we once hunted?"

Fu Xuan did not answer.

Inside and outside the Shence Palace, among the 30,000 Cloud Cavalry, not a single one could answer.

…………

silence.

A long silence filled every world.

The various weapons displayed on the sky were things that many parts of the world had never imagined.

Even if it was considered, it remained only at the theoretical level.

Those who have not yet entered the cosmos view see it as a frog in a well looking at the sky, with only endless imagination.

Those who have entered the sea of ​​stars see it as a mayfly sees the blue sky.

They understand the value of these weapons and how terrifying they are.

…………

Above the heavens, humanity under the Fourth Calamity is unparalleled in bravery.

The massive allied forces were decimated.

However, humans also suffered considerable losses.

War is not child's play.

Sacrifice is inevitable.

The strength of the Star Ocean Community should not be underestimated.

We sacrificed a lot.

But all these sacrifices were worthwhile.

The magnificent Ether Engine framework is now in place.

The plan needs to be accelerated!

Chapter 28 This is just a game

[Ether Phase Engine]

Once completed, this colossal structure will tear open the thin veil between our plane and the virtual realm.

We no longer need to be like worms, enduring humiliation as we tunnel through the earth to reach the spiritual realm.

We will cross this in droves, like conquerors,

Reality will allow our preferences to be arbitrarily shaped!

Excuse me?

People from countless worlds stared at the sky, their expressions as complex as if they had swallowed a grenade.

"……worm?"

"Those things that can blow out stars like candles call themselves worms?"

An empire that treats galaxies as mines and billions of lives as an "acceptable price" would call its past self a "worm."

What are those guys from other worlds who are still using ordinary weapons to fight each other, and who are even facing life-or-death crises and unable to leave their home planet?

Paramecium?

The first phase of the Ethereum engine has been completed.

We have begun studying the energy of the illusory realm, which is already sending psionic shockwaves throughout the galaxy.

We have already established a fragile foothold in the virtual realm.

We must continue building the engine to expand our presence in the virtual realm.

We need more dark matter!

Upon hearing this, the scene on the sky immediately changed.

More stars were detonated.

One after another.

Those suns that had burned for billions of years were like a bunch of ripe grapes in front of the Heavenly Soldiers, picked off one by one, squeezed dry, and discarded.

Behind some extinguished suns, planets drift aimlessly in the darkness.

These drifting planets once had civilizations.

But now, they've disappeared.

Countless civilizations have been wiped out.

Countless worlds collapsed.

The war continues.

Casualties continue to rise.

Fear is spreading.

That empire did not consume "enemies," "threats," or anything that needed to be confronted.

They are consuming the universe itself.

Just like breathing.

Just like metabolism.

——Ling Cage World——

Lord Morgan stared at the series of suns that had gone out in the sky, his withered fingers trembling slightly.

"...There's no end in sight."

His voice was low and hoarse, like sandpaper: "The end of this war."

The human race that led the Fourth Calamity was incredibly powerful and almost disregarded everything.

The scale of the war is far larger than that of our own side.

On his side, he was forced by the Devouring Beast to abandon his emotions and struggle for survival.

The other side, on the other hand, roams freely throughout the universe, fearless and unrestrained.

What's even more frightening is their attitude.

Ignore everything...

——StarCraft World——

Charles.

Kerrigan slowly stood up.

"The war is over."

Her voice was very soft, and the insect queen behind her made an uneasy groan.

"The war ended the moment they decided to treat the entire galaxy as an assembly line."

She looked at the suns that had gone out in the sky.

"All that's left is clearing the area."

The Fourth Calamity... truly terrifying.

The tendrils of the Ether Engine have already penetrated deep into the void.

Our beachhead position has been further expanded.

The beings residing here have noticed our intrusion into this domain, but so far, we have not identified any significant pathways for interference.

They are strange.

But it doesn't matter.

We don't care.

The Empire need not concern itself.

It's time to force a more permanent loop open between the two worlds.

We must continue our work on the engine.

Existence within the virtual realm...

—Warhammer World—

Almost the entire world has fallen into a state of heightened tension.

That is subspace.

That virtual realm is definitely a subspace!

The vast ocean, the chaotic realm, the eternal battlefield where countless demons dwell, the greatest source of fear for the human empire for ten thousand years.

And now, the group of people on the sky are invading it.

This is the complete opposite of their world.

"They are strange."
