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

"Colleagues, now that everyone's here, let's not waste any more time here."

The oldest-looking and most senior parliamentary envoy waved his hand and arrogantly issued the order.

They didn't even consult the opinions of those family heads of the Divine Court.

"Immediately board the starship and continue forward. I want to see what this black mist is that caused the disappearance of the two Ozheimer family envoys."

Upon hearing this, none of the heads of the families uttered a word of rebuttal.

He simply obeyed and ordered his men to move the starships slowly toward the former Dark Sun Star System.

however.

As the fleet crossed the wreckage of the Feathered Nexus's defenses and truly entered the outer edge of the Dark Obsidian System.

The special envoys, who had initially been somewhat relaxed on the bridge and even exchanging glances with each other about how to divide the spoils, were now in a state of high alert.

The sound gradually faded away.

Silence descended upon the bridge of every starship.

Through the starship's panoramic porthole, they finally saw the thing that made all the heads of the Divine Court turn pale at the mere mention of it, something they would rather bear the stigma of rebellion than not try to cover up.

There was no dazzling energy tide as they had envisioned.

There is no so-called secret base of the Divine Court.

There wasn't even a single star that should have been in this galaxy.

What blocked their way was darkness.

The thick black fog looked like asphalt that had been poured out of the river of time.

It spread out silently in the void.

It has no boundaries; looking upwards, it stretches endlessly to the horizon.

Looking down, it is so deep that it seems to devour all souls.

It lies there in the starry sky, completely enveloping the entire Dark Obsidian Galaxy.

From the envoys' macro perspective, this black fog resembled an insurmountable abyss wall.

It forcefully cleaved this starry sky from the orderly map of the universe, tearing it apart!

Subconsciously, an indescribable sense of oppression spread into the starship.

All the special envoys felt as if something had squeezed their hearts.

The blood flow in the body begins to slow down.

A sense of crisis surged from within them, as if screaming wildly for them to escape this hellish place that didn't even belong to the real world!

"What...what is this?"

Looking around, all the arrogance on the faces of the special envoys completely vanished.

All that remained was a look of surprise and uncertainty.

"Reporting to the special envoys, the energy monitoring system is completely unresponsive. There are no biological signals in that area; it's a complete wasteland!"

The parliamentary technicians looked at the small detector in their hands, their words filled with disbelief.

Clearly, they couldn't believe that such a terrifying situation existed in the world.

"Impossible! There is no absolute nothingness in the universe!"

"This is nothing more than a high-level barrier that alters the refraction of light and the energy waveband! To think you can use such a trick to keep the Star Council out? That's utterly delusional!"

After saying this, one of the special envoys stepped forward, completely ignoring the hesitant expressions of the Ashmerktine family heads.

As a high-level professional, he has absolute confidence in his mental strength.

Seeing his actions, the other parliamentary envoys on the other ships exchanged glances and snorted coldly.

They clearly didn't believe in superstitions.

They were also unwilling to admit that they had been frightened by a dark secret.

So they all closed their eyes, mobilized the vast magical power within their bodies, and activated their spiritual energy.

In an instant, several extremely powerful mental storms surged within the starship.

These senior inspectors from the Star Council attempted to use their power to forcibly tear open the disguise of the black mist and see what treasures were hidden inside.

However, reality soon dealt them a heavy blow.

Just as their spiritual thoughts traversed the starry sky and touched that layer of tranquil black mist.

"Buzz—!"

A terrifying wave, vast and ancient, that did not belong to the current dimension of the universe and was filled with an absolute will to annihilate, came back with a frenzied backlash at a speed that surpassed time!

In that instant, these envoys felt that their spiritual power, which they had extended, did not touch a barrier at all, but instead plunged headfirst into the abyss maw of an ancient ruler!

The calamity-inducing power contained within that black mist even skipped the process of chewing and digesting.

It was like a supreme deity, mercilessly unleashing divine punishment upon a few ants that willingly crawled onto the back of its foot.

In an instant, their spiritual power was severed and devoured!

Even more terrifyingly, that power was spreading wildly along their spiritual energy towards the source of their souls!

"ah--!!!"

The next moment, screams erupted one after another inside the starship.

Without warning, the bodies of each envoy instantly stiffened, and screams of agony emanated from their mouths.

Blood gushed out instantly from his eyes, ears, and nose.

This all happened so fast.

It was merely a tentative encounter, a simple touch of the surrounding black mist with mental energy.

This group of envoys, who had just been arrogant and represented the power of the Star Council, suffered irreversible soul damage on the spot.

Even the very source of life is showing signs of depletion!

The family heads stood up abruptly, looking at the special envoy who was rolling and howling at their feet like a dead dog, and their Adam's apples bobbed with difficulty.

They slowly turned their heads and looked again out the panoramic porthole at the still silent, all-encompassing black fog.

Only at this moment did the special envoys, who were struggling in agony on the ground, finally understand something terrible.

Ashmertine did not lie to them at all, nor did he hide any resources.

The accompanying judges and technicians were all dumbfounded.

Everyone stood there dumbfounded, completely unsure how to cope with this sudden turn of events.

"What are you all standing there for! Help!"

The Borg family patriarch also roared at the opportune moment, his anxious expression evident on his face.

But his eyes were filled with joy.

Live it!

Let you bunch of self-righteous fools go and explore!

In an instant, several military doctors from the Divine Court rushed into the bridge, frantically applying recovery items and various healing spells to the bodies of these special envoys.

However, what is surprising is...

These precious medicines, which are usually invaluable, seemed to have been diluted with water, and their effects were minimal.

"Retreat...retreat immediately!"

Just then, the leading envoy suddenly found a surge of strength and shoved away the military doctor who was using the prop on him.

With the last of its strength, it roared towards the captain's platform.

"Get out of here! Get out of this awful place right now! Quickly!"
