Like a cosmic death knell, the cold, violet beam silently erased the coordinates of the "Glimmer's Cradle." That space was reduced to pure nothingness. Even the embers of the violent nebula were transformed into the most primitive particle streams by the mighty force of annihilation, completely dissipating. Deathly silence reigned supreme in this star region.
At the edge of their new home system, beneath the vast observation dome of the Watcher, despair filled the chests of every survivor like cold liquid lead. Dr. Owen's withered hands dug into the cold alloy edge of the control console, the sting of his cracked nails paling in comparison to the utterly hollowed, crushed pain in his heart. The pitch-black darkness on the screen, representing the "spatial annihilation reaction," swallowed up the last glimmer of hope like the mouth of an abyss.
Lin Mo… Shuang Yao… and the miraculously born Morning Star, bearing the last spark of Dawn… were all gone. Along with that fragile cradle, conceived in destruction and sustained by a protective will, they had all turned to cosmic dust.
"No…it shouldn't be like this…" A broken hoarse emanated from Owen's throat. Turbid tears mingled with the dried blood on his face, snaking through the wrinkles on his face. The last spark of his lifelong pursuit, the last spark of his new home, was utterly and mercilessly snuffed out before his very eyes by the annihilating light from the unknown depths of space. The overwhelming grief and even deeper sense of powerlessness threatened to drain his remaining vitality.
However, the cruelty of the universe never stops because of the despair of mortals.
"Alarm! Alarm! A large-scale space warping reaction has been detected! The number... the number is uncountable! The energy reading... exceeds the threshold! Unable to analyze! Direction: around the annihilation coordinate point! Encirclement is formed!" The shrill alarm was like the last wail of a dying beast, tearing through the dead silence of the "Watchman" at the highest decibel!
On the main screen, the pitch-black area symbolizing annihilation was instantly smudged with a dense mass of glaring red dots, like ink dripping into clear water. These dots represented ultra-high energy reactions and spatial distortions! These red dots were not static; they were "moving" in an incredible manner—not flying or leaping, but like an eraser erasing spatial lines, they were directly "erasing" the spatial structure in front of them, performing terrifying maneuvers that were almost instantaneous! Every flicker and shift was accompanied by the silent wail of the spatial structure being forcibly twisted and torn apart!
Zoom in! Zoom in again!
The blurry images captured by the deep space probe made all the witnesses in the bridge feel as if they were falling into an icy cave!
A fleet! A fleet so bizarre and terrifying that words cannot describe it!
Countless dark purple starships, their shapes completely defying common sense, hovered in the void like metallic behemoths from a nightmare. They lacked conventional engine nozzles, their hulls swirling with a thick, almost living, stream of violet energy. Their massive main guns resembled the mouthparts of bizarre creatures, emitting a soul-chilling aura of annihilation. A halo of reality-distorting light enveloped each starship, making their very existence seem a blasphemy against the order of the universe. At the center of the fleet, a dark purple flagship, the size of a small planet, stood like the eye of the abyss commanding the demons. Countless dark purple runes flickered across its vast hull like blood vessels, emanating a cold, absolute pressure.
"Observers... Hunter Fleet..." Dr. Owen's dry, hoarse voice, laced with a deep-seated fear, struggled to force itself through his teeth. His bloodshot eyes fixed on the flagship's bridge—there, a faint, yet tenacious, dark-gold spiritual signal flickered like a lone lamp in the darkness, firmly locked onto by the fleet! It was the imprint that Lin Mo had forcibly stripped away in his final moment of annihilation, carrying his final consciousness and memories! Now, it had become a beacon of destruction!
"Target locked: Abnormal mental imprint... determined to be the contamination source associated with the 'Son of the Star Core'..."
"Enforce mandatory containment protocols…highest priority…"
"Erase interference... strip away... analyze..."
The cold, emotionless mechanical harmony seemed to penetrate the distant space and echo directly in Dr. Owen's mind, like the cold verdict of a cosmic court.
Annihilation is only the beginning. A more terrifying hunt has just begun! Their target is not only the possible survival of Chenxing, but also the last remaining trace of Lin Mo's consciousness, which may contain the secrets of Chenxing!
"Doctor! The energy reading of the flagship's main gun has soared! The target... the target has locked onto the coordinates of Lord Lin Mo's spiritual imprint!" The monitor's voice was filled with tears and extreme fear.
"No! Stop them!" Owen roared fiercely, his face, covered with age spots, twisted with extreme anger and despair! His withered fingers, like eagle claws, frantically tapped on the control console, trying to mobilize all the remaining, insignificant defenses of the "Watcher", even if it was just to disrupt them! He couldn't watch Lin Mo's last existence being wiped out! No!
However, the little firefly light of the "Watchman" was as small as dust in front of the dark purple moon of destruction of the Observer Hunter fleet.
Buzz——!
From the flagship's main gun muzzle, resembling the maw of the abyss, thick, violet energy instantly condensed to its peak, emitting an aura of destruction even more terrifying and purer than the previous annihilation beam! A far thicker and more concentrated violet beam, shot out silently, its target unerringly precise—the dark gold spiritual mark hovering above the ruins of annihilation, flickering like a candle in the wind!
There was no sound, only absolute silence as if the space had been completely "erased".
Wherever the beam of light passes, it leaves behind an eternal, void trail that exudes the breath of the end.
