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

Meanwhile, as Gu Xu was immersed in Zogra's memories and exploring the truth of the universe...

Meanwhile, the Night Owl's body had transformed into a dark current, frantically traversing and leaping between dimensional fault lines.

From the Star City of the Universal Star Council to the remote Starfall Divine Realm.

This journey would be undertaken by the main fleet of the parliament.

Even relying on stargate arrays for continuous jumps, it still takes a long time, sometimes tens of days or even a month.

But at the feet of the Night Owl, it took less than three standard hours.

Clearly, this is not only because high-level professionals have high agility attributes, but also because "Shadow" is their only smooth path.

"Buzz~!"

Ahead, a fortress hub appeared on the edge of his field of vision, and just by looking at the flags hanging on it, he could tell that it belonged to the Lucia family.

Outside the hub, a densely packed patrol fleet was visible, with detection radars constantly patrolling.

However, despite such a formidable defense, Night Owl did not falter. With a slight sway of his body, the shadows swirling around him began to spread outwards.

As if passing through a phantom projection, he swaggered past the center of the hub, then his figure flickered again, leaving the hub far behind.

In fact, given his abilities, after receiving Crobbick's commission...

We can directly lock the coordinates to the Dark Obsidian Galaxy shrouded in black mist.

Then he plunged headfirst into the center of the vortex.

But he was cautious by nature, or rather, he was able to live to his position.

I would never entrust my life to recklessness.

The intelligence provided by Crobick clearly stated that the black mist in the Dark Star System could instantly obliterate the mental power of high-level professionals. Since it was highly likely to involve a true Old God, directly charging in would obviously be an extremely foolish act of suicide.

Even if he possessed the same abilities as the ancients, he wouldn't dare gamble on the morning grumpiness of a false god upon awakening.

Therefore, after leaving the City of Stars, Night Owl slightly changed his course, intending to follow the clues and first go to the starting point of all the changes—Starfall Rift.

After all, it was Anya, the governor who was dismissed, who first initiated the Divine Realm Emergency Broadcast in that area.

However, just as he was sneaking along the Starfall Divine Realm towards the Starfall Rift Abyss...

An extremely unusual event caught his attention.

As he passed through several large hubs within Ashmerkham, he observed hundreds of massive heavy ships taking off and landing and loading supplies at an extremely frequent pace.

He immediately recognized that those were not the main star destroyers used by the Divine Court to expand its territory.

Instead, it's an engineering mothership that's extremely slow but has an astonishingly large cargo capacity, specifically designed for interstellar development!

Around these engineering motherships, mountains of strategic resources are being continuously fed into the bottomless cargo holds by anti-gravity traction beams.

Even with his composure and insight, when he saw clearly the supplies being loaded...

I couldn't help but gasp.

After all, it's less like these guys are moving things and more like they're moving house.

Most importantly, as he traveled along the way, he was shocked to discover that these fleets were laden with astonishing wealth.

The destination did not seem to be the impregnable stronghold of the Divine Court.

It's not a military fortress on the front lines either.

Instead... Starfall Rift Abyss!

"Interesting...this is really interesting."

The owl withdrew its senses, its eyes flickering slightly.

Although he had never been to Starfall Rift, he had seen it in the records. It was a notoriously barren place within Ashmerk's court, without even a Starry Sea Beacon.

Apart from a few low-level planes that are just starting out on the periphery.

There is absolutely no value in it that warrants large-scale mining.

Normally, even a down-on-his-luck Star Hunter wouldn't bother to visit.

What is Ashmerkrin doing there, transporting so many top-tier resources meant for construction, defense, and advancement?

Are you going to help alleviate poverty?

Go and develop interdimensional charity projects?

Do not make jokes.

If the nouveau riche in the universe had this kind of kindness, the world would be at peace long ago.

"It seems that Crobick's intuition is as sharp as ever."

"Those old gamblers from Ashmerkrin are indeed up to something shady behind the scenes."

The owl muttered a roar to itself, its black cloak billowed out, and its body transformed into a dark current, hurtling forward.

……

Several standard hours later, after the owl's vision pierced through the stars, it arrived at the Starfall Rift.

However, to his surprise, there was no bustling scene of dimensional construction as he had imagined.

It also lacked the imposing and menacing aura of Ashmek's army pressing in.

What appeared before him was a suffocating scene of carnage.

Even high-level professionals who are used to life and death and have even personally slaughtered countless civilized planets couldn't help but gasp when they saw the scene before them.

Clearly, this starry sky seems to have been roughly kneaded and torn countless times by an invisible hand.

As far as the eye can see, countless pieces of debris float, forming a shocking belt of interstellar junk.

Among those wreckage pieces were parts of the starship's hull that had been completely torn apart.

But more often, they are the remains of some extremely ugly and twisted creature.

The aura emanating from the carapace was enough to make one feel physically uncomfortable just by sensing it.

"This is... a kin of the Old Gods, and... a Devourer of Dimensions."

Just moments later, Night Owl muttered to himself, revealing the origins of the monsters before him.

After all, he was a professional who had come into contact with old secrets and even had the aura of the old gods on him.

He recognized the origin of these monsters at a glance.

He just hadn't expected that the so-called "insect swarm" would be so massive that it blotted out the sky.

Judging from the density of the remaining corpses in this starry sky, the number of Dimension Devourers that poured into the Starfall Rift Abyss at that time must have reached an outrageous astronomical figure.

An army of such a large number of kin is something that even a remote Starfall Divine Realm could not match.

Even if they push straight through and reach the headquarters defenses of the Star Council, they can tear off a piece of flesh and blood, and the council may not even be able to stop them!

However, what puzzled the night owl even more was not the number of these monsters.

Rather... it's about how they died.

Because each Dimension Devourer's body seemed to have been completely and evenly erased from the inside out by some kind of absolute rule force.

Of course, if we disregard the mystery of these guys' deaths, he can be basically certain at this moment that not only have ancient gods truly appeared within the Starfall Divine Realm.

Moreover, it is the one from ancient mythology who feeds on dimensional barriers.

A terrifying being who participated in Ragnarok!
