The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

At this moment, the sky was completely obscured.

Looking up, all that could be seen was the dark gold armor and pulsating purplish-black veins on the starships.

To put it bluntly, at this moment, I was completely replaced by this interstellar fleet that appeared out of nowhere, and a tangible sense of oppression descended from the sky.

If at this moment, one's gaze could penetrate the layers of dimensional barriers, cross the meteorite belts pulled by dimensional gravity, and reach the Starfall Rift Abyss at the edge of the Starfall Divine Realm.

Then you'll see an even more chilling scene.

In the past, this place was a place of intertwined gravitational turbulence, where dazzling nebulae left long trails, creating a desolate yet breathtakingly beautiful spectacle of a starry sea.

However, at this moment, this starry sky has completely changed.

The original tranquility was replaced by chaos and violence, with dark purple void cracks crisscrossing and tearing space to pieces.

Between those spatial rifts, countless monsters of the Dimensional Devouring Race, large and small, of all shapes and sizes, crowded together, like a locust plague appearing in the universe.

And this is just one of the unsettling aspects of this scene.

Not just monsters, but also starships of the Dimensional Devourer Clan hovered silently among the swarms of insects.

These starships still have a rough and savage design, lacking any streamlined beauty, and every angle exudes a pure desire for destruction.

Crowded, extremely crowded.

The entire Starfall Rift area was completely packed.

The density was so great that even starlight could not penetrate this thick layer of swarms and fleets.

They seemed to need no formation, no concealment, and simply and arrogantly occupied this vast star field, exuding a terrifying aura that devoured everything.

In other words, this airspace has become an airtight prison.

Any living thing that steps in will be crushed by this suffocating evil.

At one moment, a silvery-white streak of light flashed across the void.

The vanguard fleet of the Libra Nexus departed from the warp and began its journey.

The radar system activated instantly, and invisible detection ripples spread outwards in layers, attempting to scan the gravitational distribution and material composition of this area.

However, the fleet's radar seemed to freeze the next moment.

It started lagging terribly.

On the main control screen, the coordinates of the plane that should have been displayed were instantly flooded with a barrage of red high-risk signals.

"Da da da~!"

Alarms blared wildly inside every starship, and red warning lights flashed alternately.

……

Inside the flagship, in the governor's office.

Anya was startled by the sudden alarm and jumped up from her seat.

Before she could even ask what had happened, a shocked report came through the communication channel: "Governor! Emergency!"

"A large fleet has been detected in the airspace ahead! The number... the number is incalculable!"

"I've already synced the radar chart to your end!"

Hearing this, Anya was slightly taken aback, then looked at the star map on the personal terminal on the table.

However, that one glance made her pupils shrink sharply.

Their breathing paused slightly.

Because, in the holographic image before them, the dense red dots had already formed a sea of ​​blood.

The entire Starfall Rift area was completely filled without any gaps.

The few blue dots representing the Libra Nexus fleet have already disappeared deep into this sea of ​​blood, like fireflies in the darkness.

"What...what's going on?"

Upon seeing this, even she, as the governor of a major hub, couldn't help but change her expression drastically.

Clearly, the sheer number of the terrifying fleet before her was something she had never seen before; even if you added up all the starships in the entire Ashmerkland, you wouldn't find that many.

Where did such a massive army come from in this star system?

But Anya quickly realized what was going on.

These, are they perhaps the legions of the Old Gods?

"Damn it, what a coincidence! We've run right into the Old Gods' army?"

As the governor of the Libra Nexus, she knew it all too well.

Admittedly, the fleet under her command, as the regular army of Ashmerkrin, is quite powerful, enough to dominate more than a dozen star systems in the surrounding area.

But that's against conventional combat forces, isn't it?

Now they are facing the legion of the damned Old Gods.

To put it bluntly, her fleet would be no different from a withered leaf in a storm if it encountered such an army.

"Governor, what do we do now? Should we contact headquarters?"

Renn's voice came through the communication channel again.

This time, however, anyone who heard it could tell that his voice was trembling.

Upon hearing this, Anya immediately looked away from the suffocating star map.

Now is not the time to be daydreaming; a single misstep could lead to certain death.

"Raine, listen to me... Don't rush to report. Immediately shut down all active detection radars, activate stealth mode, and minimize the energy fluctuations of the starship."

"Then immediately initiate a jump, leave this star system, and try to get this intelligence out!"

Once she calmed down, Anya immediately issued the order.

"yes!"

Rein responded and then synchronized the message to all starships. However, just a few seconds later, the alarm sounded again.

"What happened?"

Anya's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately asked sharply.

"Governor, no! We can't perform a jump!"

Raine's voice came through again.

"Why? Is the engine malfunctioning?"

"It's not an engine problem, it's the subspace. The subspace in the entire Starfall Rift region is extremely unstable. The spatial barriers are distorted and folded over a large area, making it impossible to establish a jump portal."

"Furthermore... the detectors show that there are extremely dense activity signals inside the subspace, in enormous numbers, and moving at extremely high speeds. If we forcibly tear through space and jump under these conditions, we will almost certainly crash into those things..."

Upon hearing this, Anya's heart sank.

The whole person is not well.

They're currently surrounded by the entire Old Gods' army, so let's not talk about it.

The subspace routes that followed were also blocked.

To put it bluntly, their vanguard fleet has completely stumbled into a dead end.

"Governor, stealth mode can only be maintained for a period of time. If we cannot leave, they will find us sooner or later even without radar, just by looking at us."

"I know."

"Notify the entire fleet to maintain silence and warm up the main guns. All personnel to prepare for battle. No one is to fire without my order."

"Yes."

The orders were relayed down the chain of command, and the entire Libra Nexus fleet hovered in the darkness, like a group of prey holding their breath, trembling under the noses of their predator.

Time passed by, second by second.

Inside the bridge, it was so quiet that only breathing and the faint hum of instruments could be heard.
