Poverty makes me capable of anything.

Camilla explained, "There's a rumor that there's no such thing as 001, or that everyone is 001."

Does being the most powerful person mean you can become the boss?

"However, this is just speculation, and no one knows the specifics."

"I understand."

Anran ended her communication with Camilla.

At that moment, she was standing outside the Coral Nebula.

What hits you is interstellar dust reflecting various colors of light; up close, it looks like an outstretched hand.

It seems to be seizing control of fate.

"This is a star map of the outer labyrinth of the Coral Nebula."

Anran received intelligence from the War Court.

The War Court seemed to be on guard, and did not send over the star map of the inner labyrinth along with it.

"This is troublesome, I'll be there right now."

After entering the data, An Ran immediately followed the main group and rushed into the Coral Nebula.

At the same time, she forwarded the number of reinforcements to Qilu.

This intelligence will not actually help the Chain of Judgments' plans; on the contrary, it will affect the morale of the Chain of Judgments.

Look, so many people are following you. If you don't hurry, you'll be surrounded.

"A top-tier civilization is indeed a top-tier civilization; their reaction speed is truly impressive."

One cannot expect to be safe on a wrong path.

Two fists can't beat four hands.

Even if An Ran were to defect on the spot, it wouldn't affect the overall situation; on the contrary, it would reduce their intelligence sources.

"It seems that we have no choice but to use that one."

"A wrong path, do we really have to use that?"

At this moment, the imposter FOR-029 spoke up and asked.

Qilu said, "We're forced by circumstances. Anyway, we'll have to use this sooner or later, so it won't make much difference."

The imposter nodded.

Since Qilu had already said so, it had no objection.

Near the two major laboratories, the Chain of Judgments' ship suddenly stopped.

"What's going on?"

Wayne was startled.

Despite the large number of pursuers behind them, the invaders refused to leave.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Wayne immediately warned the reinforcements to be careful.

But just as he sent out his notification, Wayne discovered a huge, funnel-shaped phantom extending from one of the intruders' ships.

The funnel-shaped phantom's spout was connected to a silver cylinder in Qilu's hand.

As time went by, the data output by the space fluctuation monitoring equipment inside the spacecraft became a jumbled mess.

"It's here!"

The imposter's eyes widened.

It saw that in the endless void, a road that seemed to extend to infinity was being pulled out.

"How is this going?"

An Ran, who was rushing towards the interior of the Coral Nebula, immediately called a halt to the divine warship she was aboard.

As a being of the void, she could sense the abnormality of the surrounding space even without the aid of mechanical equipment.

Several seconds later, An Ran was surprised to find a "Milky Way" appearing in the distance.

Countless stars twinkled in that dark Milky Way.

The sudden appearance of the Milky Way abruptly split the Coral Nebula in two.

Players inside the spaceship turned on the game's camera function.

Holy crap, what a spectacle!

Am I seeing things?

[Have I time-traveled?]

[Did I overdo it?]

Thanks to the player's live stream, countless people witnessed this scene simultaneously.

The stars in the Milky Way above the sky grew denser and denser. The moment the stars completely dyed the Milky Way silvery white, the Milky Way moved.

It looks like a sword.

It fell slowly and steadily.

The target is the Coral Nebula below.

Before the sword had even fully landed, the surrounding space had already collapsed.

Space storms seeped out from the gaps between worlds, and those less capable spaceships were instantly swept away without a trace, unable to even send out a distress signal.

next second.

The Heavenly River Sword makes a close encounter with the Coral Nebula.

If someone were to observe the Coral Nebula from a distance at this moment, they would see that the Coral Nebula was instantly shattered, like a sack of flour.

Newly formed stars, prestellar objects, interstellar dust...

Suddenly, everything vanished.

There is not even light!

The Coral Nebula, a nebula with a diameter of over 200 light-years, along with all celestial bodies within a radius of thousands of light-years, completely vanished without a trace in just ten seconds.

That day, God opened his mouth and took a bite out of the starry sky.

It is this feeling.

For a short time, An Ran couldn't even perceive the existence of the space.

It was as if everything had been compressed into a single point of insignificant size.

This feeling quickly disappeared.

When An Ran came to her senses, she found that the shattered space was being rapidly repaired.

The starry sky was as black as ink.

Only in the farthest distance can one see a glimmer of starlight.

The once massive fleet was mostly destroyed in the explosion, with only a small number of ships escaping the space storm.

Now, only the two laboratories and a few man-made structures remain standing in the Coral Nebula; everything else is gone.

"Wait, where is the intruder's ship?"

In a daze, Wayne immediately realized that an even greater crisis awaited him.

The surveillance equipment set up outside was all destroyed, and he is now completely in the dark.

Soon the surviving reinforcements answered Wayne's question.

"They suddenly teleported to a location one light-year directly behind Laboratory 2."

Wayne paused for a moment.

Then he shouted, "Stop them! You must stop them! They have very valuable research materials stored there!"

"What exactly are they researching here?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"Higher-dimensional beings, and the expansion of dimensional ascension technology."

"!"

A big exclamation mark appeared above An Ran's head.

She had been searching for fundamental knowledge about dimensions, never expecting that the Exiled Empire was researching these very things in the Coral Nebula.

"It seems I made the right decision to come this time."

An Ran's gaze flickered uncertainly.

the other side.

After detonating the entire Coral Nebula and slicing through a space spanning a light-year, the Crossroads has arrived near its destination.

"What was that just now?"

Camilla looked around.

Even with the strength of a star field overlord, one could destroy the Coral Nebula, but it would be absolutely impossible to do it so easily.

The other members seemed equally puzzled, at least the Crimson King was unaware of it.

"It's Star Road."

The imposter suddenly spoke.

"Star paths? Those star paths created by the great pioneers?"

Isn't this a road that stretches across the starry sky?

The imposter explained, "The Star Path is not just a road, but also a weapon. What we just destroyed was only the shortest Star Path."

"..."

After hesitating for a long time, Camilla finally couldn't help but ask, "How do you know all this?"
