In the dead silence, atop the flagship armor of the Libra Nexus.

Anya remained in her damaged Valkyrie form, standing there blankly, staring unfocusedly at the empty starry sky before her.

His right hand, covered in blood, froze in mid-air, his chest heaving violently, his mind a complete blank.

They seemed completely unable to believe what they were seeing with their own eyes.

Keep in mind that those were seven top-tier experts of the same level as her, each possessing terrifying combat power capable of destroying life-bearing planets and slaughtering galactic civilizations.

She had just revealed all her cards, even prepared to die.

He barely managed to hold his own against four of them, and nearly died.

And now...

That human boy, who looked to be no more than twenty years old, hadn't even actually made a move in his true form.

With just a few servants exuding an old-fashioned aura, they wiped out seven powerful enemies as easily as brushing away dust.

……

Inside the flagship's bridge, Rein and all the officers and soldiers stared blankly at the holographic screen.

On the screen, the dots that originally represented the seven catastrophic high-energy units have now completely disappeared.

"Dead...all dead?"

After a long while, Ryan's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and a sound was squeezed out of his throat.

The dozens of operators on the bridge looked at each other in bewilderment, forgetting even to turn off the alarms that kept beeping on their instruments.

They had just prepared for total annihilation, and even had the countdown to the self-destruct program in hand.

But what they were seeing had completely shattered their understanding of power.

In the starry sky, there is no breeze.

Gu Xu glanced at the swarm of Devourer insects that were gradually dispersing around him.

Looking around, the swarms of insects, sensing the terrifying pressure emanating from the former servants, began to instinctively retreat, their chaotic hissing echoing across the edge of the star field.

Gu Xu ignored the small fry and turned around, his gaze falling on the broken Valkyrie Domain.

Anya felt the boy's gaze, and her muscles tensed up involuntarily. The once proud governor was now somewhat at a loss for what to do.

After a short while, Gu Xu looked the woman up and down and asked calmly, "Are you from Ashmerkrin?"

Upon hearing this, Anya was slightly taken aback.


How could he recognize her faction at a glance?

But before she could recover from her shock, Gu Xu's second sentence made her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

"You've come all this way, just for the Heart of the Sun in our plane?"

Admittedly, Gu Xu spoke these words casually.

But to Anya, it was like a thunderclap out of nowhere.

It made her blood almost freeze completely in that instant.

Our dimension!

Heart of the Blazing Sun!

The combination of these two words instantly stirred up a tidal wave in Anya's mind.

As a high-ranking governor of Ashmerkrin, she naturally received orders from her father.

The Deep Space Eye organization has detected the coordinates of the arrival of the Blazing Sun Divine Kingdom's secret realm.

Because of their proximity to the Libra Nexus, their father instructed them to seize the "Heart of the Sun," a high-dimensional core nurtured within it, before the Star Hunters and other families arrived.

But this young man in front of me not only directly revealed the existence of the Heart of the Blazing Sun.

It even explicitly pointed out "our dimension"!

What does this mean?

This means that the legendary secret realm is indeed located in this place.

Even more terrifying is that, just as Lorian said, the army of the Old God Zogra crossed the Starfall Rift to capture the ancient authority within this boy.

Thinking of this, Anya's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, her heart pounded wildly, and cold sweat poured down her forehead.

She was well aware of how dangerous her current situation was.

The monsters beside the young woman just tore seven top-tier members of her own level to shreds in less than two minutes, leaving not even a trace of their ashes.

If she says anything wrong in her answer and provokes hostility from the other party, then she and the remaining Libra Nexus fleet behind her will definitely not fare any better than those seven monsters.

In the eyes of the Old Ones, the governor of Ashmektin and the kin of the false gods may be no different.

Inside the bridge, Rein and the others also heard the question on the communication channel. The entire main control room was deathly silent. Everyone held their breath, their hearts pounding so hard they felt like they were going to jump out of their throats.

In the starry sky, Gu Xu looked at An Ya, who hadn't spoken for a long time, his brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.

He doesn't have time to waste here.

Munedimi was still secretly setting up a grand descent array; every second of delay would worsen the situation outside.

When that time comes, the entire star field will be wiped out.

Noticing the change in Gu Xu's eyes, Anya's heart pounded, and a chilling sense of crisis instantly enveloped her.

She dared not hesitate any longer, quickly took a deep breath, and forced herself to say, "Yes...no!"

Upon hearing this ambiguous answer, Gu Xu did not immediately confront her. He simply looked at her indifferently, signaling her to continue.

Anya breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the other party did not make a move directly. She quickly and clearly explained, "Yes, it is because our Ashmerktine leadership did detect violent fluctuations in a higher dimension not long ago. We learned that the ruins of an ancient divine kingdom are descending, and the core of the secret realm is likely to be the Heart of the Sun."

"As the guardian force of a star field, we do indeed have the responsibility to recover high-dimensional treasures and prevent them from falling into the hands of other forces!"

At this point, Anya paused, raised her eyes, and looked honestly at Gu Xu: "The reason we, the vanguard fleet, are in the depths of the Starfall Rift isn't simply to retrieve the treasure. It's because we did receive news that a projection of an ancient god has descended upon the Starfall Rift!"

"Although our Ashmerkrin is no match for the Old Gods, their appearance will inevitably attract their legions. Once the Old God legions descend, it will be a catastrophe for the entire star system, and even the entire universe!"

"Therefore, I was also ordered to lead the Libra Nexus Fleet to scout the enemy's situation! However, we underestimated the size of their forces. As soon as we entered this star system, we were ambushed by the swarm of Eclipse Insects and several clan leaders, and almost suffered total annihilation."

After explaining all the details in one go, Anya bowed slightly, letting go of all her defensiveness.

She knew that in the face of such an existence, any lie or cover-up was utterly ridiculous, and only honesty could offer a glimmer of hope.
