[Star Dream] is only a forbidden-level magic, and the casting distance is quite limited.

Although the Key of the Stars has increased the casting distance a lot, it has not yet reached the level of infinite distance, so we still have to go to the Kuroshio civilization to pull the Black Key into the dream space.

Soon, Void Star sent Hecate into the Black Tide Civilization in the blink of an eye.

The environment here is several times worse than other places. Other places are just dead silent, but here there are black strips everywhere, like kelp.

Huge strips of black kelp, either floating in the void or hanging on the planets, gave the stars here a black double ponytail hairstyle.

The big black kelp is as big as a star, while the small black kelp is only a few centimeters, floating densely.

Hecate was not in a hurry to find the Black Dragon, but landed on one of the planets to take a look.

Anyway, she had the ability of Star Guardian, so she was not worried that the Black Dragon would notice her coming.

The planet looks like a normal planet, but everywhere there are black and withered things.

Under these black things, there are some collapsed high-tech buildings.

The civilizations that can survive in the outer universe are obviously those that have reached the shepherd level. Even such civilizations have now become like this.

She used her mental power to scan the entire planet. There was no life anywhere. All she saw were large and small black kelp.

"These black things, could they be caused by the Tide of the End?"

Hecate picked up some kelp and touched it. It felt wet and slippery, and a bit disgusting.

Throw it away and try to communicate with the planet under your feet.

There was no response, as if the planet was dead.

【Use the purification magic on them and see how it goes. 】

The sound of the stars rang in his ears. Hecate nodded, took out his magic wand, and launched [Holy Purification] on the planet under his feet.

In an instant, the black kelp on the entire planet rioted, like black electric eels with their throats grabbed, jumping and struggling wildly.

Oh shit, what’s going on?

Hecate left the ground in surprise and flew high into the sky. She saw all the black kelp on the planet dancing, and the huge twin-tailed kelp turned into big waves.

Half an hour later, the kelps stopped jumping and returned to silence.

At this time, the big wave kelp began to twist, gradually forming a huge question mark in front of Hekate.

?

A very huge question mark...

The curved part is the black kelp, and the dots below are the planet.

Hecate: “?”

At this time, the huge question mark began to distort and turned into [(O_O)?].

Hecate: “….”

"Ahem, um, you guys come out and translate."

[Translation: I feel the star power in you, are you the Star Witch? ]

"Can you talk to it?"

[No, it has been parasitized by these black kelp and has lost most of its abilities. It can't even do simple observations. If you don't stimulate it, it will probably continue to sleep like this.]
