He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

A moment later, Xie Bai followed Melos to the central port.

Although he had prepared himself mentally, Xie Bai was still slightly stunned when he witnessed the scene in person.

It's very grand.

The word "magnificent" seems somewhat inadequate at this moment.

The huge rings are interwoven and connected by neat passageways.

Cubes floated around it; these were the dwelling places specifically for the Voidlings who maintained the central port.

Even a void passage with a radius of several kilometers appears somewhat insignificant when surrounded by the central port.

Xie Bai looked at the only void passage at present.

[Void Passage: White Peak]

Looking back, this was built when she had just inherited the Void Godhood and returned to reality.

She never built a new void portal after that.

But now it's time to build a new one.

Melos bowed slightly to the side, speaking respectfully.

"My lord, this is the central port you asked me to expand before. Now it has twelve port areas that can accommodate passageways."

He turned to the side and gestured.

"Please take a look, sir."

Xie Bai crossed Melos and arrived at the empty port next to the White Peak Territory Port.

A huge circular ring filled the entire field of vision, with a vast platform at its center.

The open area between the platform and the ring is reserved for ships to moor.

Xie Bai's gaze shifted to the huge vertical circular frame in the center.

That was a pre-designed passage frame by Melos, based on the size of the White Peak Passage.

Xie Bai raised his hand, drawing out a wisp of void power.

The next moment, more void forces responded to Xie Bai's call and spontaneously poured into the huge framework from outside the void hive.

[Full-fledged Channels: You can establish permanent channels between real-world nodes and void nodes, and cancel them at any time. A new channel limit is unlocked every ten levels. Current channels: 2/14]

A massive void passage materialized and took shape in the empty port.

[Void Passage: Heavenly Mountain]

Despite being mentally prepared, Melos was still awestruck by the magnificent sight before him.

A void passage with a radius of several kilometers stands within a pre-designed framework, like a vortex, constantly stirring the surrounding space.

The thought that such a magnificent scene was created by the petite white-haired girl in front of him filled Melos with awe.

Although this person has a cute appearance, the power they possess is extremely exaggerated.

If someone unaware of the situation were to witness this, who knows what might happen?

After doing all this, Xie Bai turned around and looked up at Melos.

"Melos, please take good care of Gami and the others. I have to go back and take care of some things now."

After saying that, Xie Bai leaped into the magnificent void passage alone, his figure instantly swallowed by the vortex.

Faced with this sudden arrangement, Melos had no choice but to bow slightly towards the void passage in front of him.

"Yes, sir."

……

Meanwhile, on the mountain in the sky.

A similarly enormous void passage suddenly appeared in mid-air above the mountaintop.

When the enormous vortex, as if space itself had been torn apart, appeared in everyone's view, all those dealing with the aftermath of the battlefield were momentarily stunned.

Thanatos frowned upon seeing the appearance of the void passage.

After a moment's thought, he immediately issued orders to the void fleet.

"Don't panic, this is a product of our empire."

Upon receiving this order, the Northern lords, who had just begun to panic, instantly regained their composure.

Although the void passage in the sky with a radius of several thousand meters was indeed astonishing, it was easy to imagine that it was something related to their empire.

Then I realized...it makes some sense.

To be honest, although they were lords with official positions in the Northern Empire, they knew very little about their own empire.

The Northern Empire was actually ruled by Brandon and others, who would often come up with new and unseen gadgets to strengthen the nation when they least expected it.

Take, for example, the recently formed Void Fleet.

On the other hand, the expeditionary fleet, due to their military discipline, did not show much panic.

At this moment, it is Atoris who is in charge of the expeditionary fleet.

This petite Imperial Swordswoman arrived on the Expeditionary Sword just as Xie Bai left.

Since Brandon left the Audu Empire, the fleet's supreme commander and helmsman of the Expeditionary Sword has been taken over by Brandon's personally trained disciple.

Upon seeing Atoris arrive, the fleet commander raised his hand in salute and offered a solemn oath.

But for some reason, a faint sense of disappointment appeared on Atoris's face at this moment.

Although the commander did not understand what he meant, his intuition told him not to ask any more questions.

Brandon had taught him that if you encounter someone who wears their frustration on their sleeve...

Unless it's a relationship worth risking your life for, it's best not to disturb them and just let them have some peace and quiet.

After giving a few brief instructions, Atoris saluted and left the command post.

Just as Artorias was left alone in the command room, unsure of what to do.

She sensed the appearance of the void passage.

Atoris' eyelashes lifted slightly.

The power of the void...

is her?

A surge of excitement rose within Atoris, but she was immediately overcome with a sense of dread.

She was still not ready to meet Xie Bai.

She was fearless when facing the enemy, so why did she become so timid at this moment?

Just as Artoris was lost in her complicated thoughts, a familiar voice suddenly rang out behind her.

"Hmm? Artorias?"

Artoris suddenly turned around.

"My lord?"

The person who arrived was Xie Bai, who had just left through the void passage.

After settling the two little ones in temporarily, Xie Bai thought about returning to handle some matters.

This included Atoris, whom they had just met but hadn't had a chance to say hello to yet.

Seeing Atoris's somewhat flustered appearance, Xie Bai felt a sense of confusion.

That's strange, isn't the other party quite loyal to me?

The favorability rating isn't that low... so why am I so afraid of myself?

But she didn't dwell on it for long.

Xie Bai scrutinized Atoris for a few moments, then spoke up half-jokingly.

"Hmm... Even though it's been a while, you're still as cute as ever."

Xie Bai didn't hesitate to praise the blonde girl who was even shorter than him.

Faced with Xie Bai's straightforward praise, Atoris lowered his eyelashes slightly.

"Um... thank you."

Her voice was soft, then she paused for a moment.

"My lord, has returned here... is there anything you wish to arrange?"

Xie Bai pondered for a moment when faced with Atoris's question.

"There's nothing special planned. I just saw you were here and thought I'd say hello. By the way, how's it going at the opera house? The fans seem pretty enthusiastic, right?"

"Hmm...it's alright."

Atoris gently pinched the hem of her skirt with both hands.

Compared to the officially appointed Imperial Sword, the title "Sword Maiden" is more widely circulated among the people of the Empire.

Even people outside the Aodu Empire know this name.

This indirectly shows just how popular she was as an idol during her time at the opera house.

Realizing he might have asked a pointless question, Xie Bai coughed lightly.

"Hmm... By the way, you're in charge of this fleet now, right? How about I introduce you to Thanatos? That would make things easier for you two regarding the planning of the Sky Mountain..."

"No need."

Atoris shook his head.

"I don't really want to get involved in things at Tianshang Mountain."

"In my view, it is enough for the Audu Empire to manage the Eastern Continent well. As for the Heavenly Mountain... and some larger plans, I leave it to you, my lord, to decide."

She paused, then added.

"Of course, if my lord requires me to do anything... I will do my best to do so."

Upon hearing this, Xie Bai's gaze lingered on Atoris's face for a moment.

She felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

……
