For tens of millions of years, the central region of the universe of the Plane of Dreams had been shrouded by an event boundary. The dark barrier that isolated the flow of information completely enveloped the most ancient and mysterious region of the universe, and no one could know what was happening within the horizon. Even if a few mortal civilizations developed the pinnacle of technology, they would only find a near-eternal darkness in the center of the universe, and the luckiest (or perhaps the most unfortunate) of them might cross the horizon by chance and see the truth behind the dark barrier. But without exception, what they saw on the other side of the horizon would completely annihilate their minds, turning them into pure lunatics, or pure monsters.
Therefore, other than the prison guards who guarded this cage, no one knew what this "Central Universe" really looked like.
But today, the event boundary was gone, the barrier was gone, and the craziest and most terrifying side of the universe was finally presented to everyone.
It was a scene that could not be described with words. All logical words and mathematical expressions would lose their meaning in this region, and all kinds of spatial structures and optical phenomena that people were familiar with would also disappear. Behind the horizon was a chaotic structure that was so huge that it could swallow the entire galaxy. Countless dark shadows entrenched in space, and the crazy dark celestial bodies were dying and dying in those shadows. Tangible and intangible things appeared one by one, and then disappeared in an instant. And at the same time, this crazy region was still spreading wildly.
Hao Ren saw the indescribable shadows wriggling and multiplying, and its boundary was rapidly moving in the direction of the universe of order. The tide-like minions were its vanguard, forming wave after wave of arrows in front of the boundary.
An army of drones went up to meet them, and blinding artillery fire pierced through the darkness, tearing holes in the minions and the power of madness. But all the holes were filled in within seconds, and after a few breaths, the drones disappeared into the vast space, and a new drone swarm took their place …
Such a terrifying scene was enough to make any ordinary army collapse in an instant, but it could not shake the bloodless drone swarm. The collective consciousness seemed to be unaware of the situation as it continued to fill in the gaps, and at the same time, emotionlessly issued new orders.
"The first battle group has been wiped out. Begin replenishing forces as preset."
"The Annihilation Lance has been charged. Target — the arrow node of the chaotic structure. Commencing first salvo."
"The power of corruption has reached the designated location. Activating 'vaccine'."
Countless lightyears away, in the depths of Star Cluster X, in the hall of the Basilica of the Yggdrasil, a black obelisk floated in the air. Several crisscrossing rays of light shot out from the top of the pillars around the hall and focused on the top of the obelisk. Below each pillar stood a guardian giant with a solemn expression.
As the order to activate the vaccine was issued, all the guardian giants raised their staffs at the same time, and the light emitted by the pillars instantly intensified. Countless complex patterns appeared on the surface of the black obelisk, and this ancient device that carried the will of generations of L 'Haronne civilization and guarded the heritage of the civilization through many cycles of reincarnation was activated once again. The complex data it contained was extracted, translated, and turned into an information stream that could suppress the corruption of madness. It was then transmitted to the frontline through the drone network throughout the Plane of Dreams, and then amplified by the antenna systems of the fortresses in the frontline, and finally turned into a mathematical weapon that could suppress the entire battlefield.
In the vast space behind the fortresses, a series of star-like light spots lit up one by one, forming a great wall in space. The giant antenna array in the center of the Overwatch Bastion also activated at the same time, and the fan-shaped structure that looked like a giant wing slowly opened up. Almost at the same time, Hao Ren noticed that the spreading chaotic structure in space had slowed down significantly. It was as if they had encountered an invisible barrier, and the process of breaking through the barrier was hilariously slow.
"The vaccine is working!" The MDT cheered excitedly.
"This is just the first step." Hao Ren remained calm, and while he wanted to cheer, he had read all kinds of novels, movies, and television dramas, and he knew that any cheering in the first half of the progress bar was suicidal, and it was easy to get crushed by the villain. "How's the situation at the back?"
A few holographic projections opened up in front of him, and Y 'zaks, the Nangong siblings, Lily, and the rest appeared on it. Each of them had a different background behind them, some were the Royal Mage Tower of Holletta, some were the endless ocean of Io.
"There's still no movement from Holletta," Y 'zaks said. Behind him stood Lanina, who came from Helcrown to help. Due to the limitations of the Wall of Reality, other than the half-undead half-machine einherjar, there were only a few dozen people from the Surface World who could come to help. So Y' zaks had carefully selected the most useful assistants. "Don't worry, all the countries on this planet have been mobilized, and the monk soldiers of the Disciples of Glory had completed the defense line a few days ago. Their divine arts will be of great help."
"Io is very calm!" Lily said as the majestic Einherjar Guards stood behind her. "There's nothing but the sea here, and the few cities on the sea are right under my nose. Nothing will happen."
"Master, Tannagost has been temporarily invaded." In the third holographic projection, it was the silver-armored Valkyrie. She was the highest commander of all the einherjars on Tannagost, and at the same time, she was personally responsible for the defense of the planet itself. "There's a small scale infestation in the Valley of the Sacred Fountain, and it has been cleared."
As soon as the Valkyrie's voice trailed off, Wuyue added in the holographic projection, "There's also a small scale of chaos monsters appearing in Collow, but as soon as they appeared, they were quelled by Veronica and the Raven Knights. The people of Collow are very good at dealing with these 'small infestations', and we don't seem to be needed here. "
After listening to the situation from the various planets, Rheia had a thoughtful look on her face. "You've just broken through the blockade and you're already reaching for those planets with sentience … Looks like even if you have the ability to think, you're not that smart after all."
"Vaccine coverage has reached a hundred percent, and the broadcast system is currently at seventy-two percent capacity … There's plenty of room to spare." The voice of the droid swarm came from the liquid metal blob above the command hall. "Scanning chaotic structures … Found shallow breach, uploading to the Petrachelys."
"Nolan," Hao Ren switched the comms channel, "How's the preparation going?"
"Shields fully charged, power recharged, boss." Nolan's voice was full of confidence. "We're ready to depart."
"Check your system well, this is a one-way ticket."
"Yes, yes, yes, you're the boss. Don't worry, I've checked it many times, and I'm on standby at the port. Come and get your one-way ticket!"
Hao Ren and Vivian looked at each other, and the two smiled in tacit understanding.
Rheia, on the other hand, had already stood up. "Let's go, the way is open."
On the battlefield that was measured in light years, a small ship that was only a few hundred meters long could no longer be described as small.
It was like a speck of dust in the universe, a speck of dust that was ignored by everyone.
The central tower of the Overwatch Bastion opened up an inconspicuous entrance, and the silver-white inspector warship slid out lightly and silently. Then, it accelerated into a stream of light and charged towards the chaos and darkness in the distance. The crisscrossing cannon fire and flying wreckage on the battlefield formed a storm around her, and she gradually left them behind.
"Frontline command authority transferred to the droid swarm AI and Commander Salaman. Command of the planetary defense lines transferred to Y 'zaks and the Valkyries." Hao Ren sat on the captain's seat as he gave out orders one by one. "The Basilica of the World Tree is to switch to autonomous mode, and monitor the situation."
"Muru, Lemendusa, Loken, remember your mission." Vivian said in front of her own comms, "Once the worst happens … do not hesitate, bring those who can evacuate and leave this world. The droid swarm's teleportation network will be unlocked at that moment, and you will be the new guides."
"We are about to enter the realm of chaos, and those massive dimensional structures are right in front of us." Hao Ren looked up as he looked at the live feed from the external monitors. Around the Petrachelys, countless massive and blurry pillars of gray smoke and fissures were pressing in like mountains, and in the darkness, countless pairs of eyes, limbs, and tentacles could be seen wriggling blindly, but upon closer inspection, it was all an illusion. "Wish us luck."
"Actually, only the deepest part of the Dark Abyss looked like this in the beginning," Rheia said softly. "These structures only grew out in the last few months. In the battle ten thousand years ago, I was defeated, and the Mad Lord had absorbed the endless power of nightmares from the extinction of countless planets in the universe, and it was this power that allowed it to grow to this stage."
Nolan's voice came from the bridge, "Shield system activated, entering stealth mode."
A layer of hazy light appeared on the Petrachelys' armor plate, and then the light around the entire ship began to bend and collapse, and the amount of information released by the ship rapidly decreased, and in just a few breaths, it 'disappeared' from the battlefield.
The artillery and wreckage were already far behind, and now, the image from the external monitors was only of the chaotic space.
If one closed their eyes, the peace on the bridge would even give the illusion that the war was over.
But the jumping data on the control panel showed the truth: the shield was fluctuating every second, and the damage control sensors throughout the ship were constantly sending out alerts.
Even though there were no enemies around, the attacks had never stopped since the beginning.
