Super God: Speak to the ultimate fear!

Chapter 210 I, God Karl, praise the void, I'm invincible again! [Seeking Ferns]

The [Divine General] set is the third-generation black armor that Feng Xi casually crafted for Xuan Tianji after the Venus-Blazing Earth Conference.

The [Divine General] set consists of a suit of armor and a halberd, with an overall black and silver color scheme. The set effect is basically the same as Sun Wukong's [Black Saint] set, and it is a set of armor that focuses on physical defense.

If Xuan Tianji, clad in the [Divine General] armor, were to engage in another duel with Sun Wukong, and if Sun Wukong did not wish to reveal his ultimate techniques, a normal fight might take several days before a victor could be determined.
Because Sun Wukong's attacks are too straightforward, they can be largely blocked by the [Divine General] armor enhanced by Feng Xi, which greatly reduces the damage Sun Wukong can inflict on Xuan Tianji.

In gaming terms, Feng Xi's third-generation black armor has the basic characteristic of '99% physical damage reduction', while Sun Wukong is a pure physical damage unit with weak burst damage. Unlike Lena, he cannot weaken the third-generation black armor's defense by overloading Feng Xi's Nuwa system with computational power. Therefore, he is countered by Feng Xi's ability.

"Wow, you're really generous, giving away the third-generation black armor like that?" Inside the Martian spaceport, Lena, dressed in a striking black and red battle armor, had a hint of surprise in her bright eyes upon hearing this.

"What's so generous about that?" Nuwa Fengxi shook her head slightly in the main hall of Nuwa and sighed, "To me, the third-generation black armor is just a copy-paste product. If it weren't for the fact that the most core resource of the third-generation black armor is Nuwa's 'quantum unit,' I would really like to give everyone a set."

Quantum units are 'spatial computing power units' within the Nuwa Domain. For example, if Feng Xi creates ten sets of third-generation black armor, then ten 'quantum projections' of identical spatial size will appear within his spherical Nuwa Domain space.

Currently, Feng Xi's Nuwa Domain has a radius of 20 kilometers and a diameter of 40 kilometers. His quantum space is very abundant for a short period of time. On the contrary, quantum computing power is the bottleneck that restricts the number of quantum projections.

At present, the computing power of the Nuwa system is normally occupied by more than 90%, of which more than 20% is used passively. The computing power projection of all quantum creations of Earth civilization is all within that 20%.

"Moreover, as the 'Guardian of Mars,' Xuan Tianji is perfectly capable of helping to protect the heart of the solar system. The Styx Civilization's combined fleet has already reached the outer reaches of the solar system, so we can't let them lead us by the nose anymore." Nuwa Fengxi explained that Lieyang Xuan Tianji's combat strength was probably only at the level of being able to engage in a high-intensity head-on battle with Sun Wukong, and was not considered very strong.

However, with the protection of the third-generation Black Armor, Xuan Tianji's combat skills are capable of engaging in intense battles with Sun Wukong for several days. This combat power has undergone a qualitative change, and Feng Xi believes that Xuan Tianji can protect the heart of the solar system.

"Well, it's up to you," Lena muttered, pouting.

The Lieyang Civilization currently invests resources in only three entities in the solar system: Lena, Xuan Tianji, and Wu Zhao. As for the others, Pan Zhen stated there was no rush; with external dangers looming over Earth, it was not convenient for the Lieyang Civilization to relocate some of its immigrants at the moment.

However, Feng Xi and the others didn't mind much, because the Lieyang Civilization had already sent over some of its strongest fighters. It was understandable that Pan Zhen had to go back to guard the Lieyang Civilization's home base.

The addition of Xuan Tianji has given Earth's civilization a great deal of room to maneuver when facing the combined fleet of the Styx civilization.

"Hmm." Inside the main hall of the Nuwa Palace, atop the futuristic throne, the sacred and magnificent Nuwa Fengxi leaned against a dazzling, seemingly vibrant, ever-growing tree of civilization and technology. Looking at the little Nai Sha and the big fat bird perched on her lap, her azure-gold eyes, seemingly containing the entire cosmos, occasionally flashed with halos of light.
This is destined to be a war for Earth's civilization to 'ascend to godhood'.
In the short span of three years since the end of the Second Taotie War, under the blessing of Nuwa, Earth's technology has advanced by at least two hundred years and productivity by nearly a hundred years.
The gods, their attention drawn to the war between angels and demons, were temporarily unaware that in a corner of the Milky Way, within the Great Clock, the Earth civilization of the Solar System, named 'Red Crow,' had already completed a century-long leap in technological advancement.
This represents a technological leap forward in Earth's civilization over the past century, not a technological leap forward in other civilizations over the past century.

For Earth's civilization, two hundred years of technological leap is equivalent to leaping from the steam age to the nuclear age in one fell swoop!
"War is imminent. A declaration to the universe: The voice of Earth!"

[Warning! The Federation has officially entered a state of war!]

Earth Federation Fleet, Earth [Gluttony] Fleet, Earth [Judgment] Fleet. Enter battle mode!

[The Earth's intelligent machine rights protection system is launched; the quantum communication network 'Nuwa' is officially activated! The virtual war project is underway!]

【.】

[Nuwa Fengxi: Gentlemen, for the sake of civilization!]

Almost simultaneously, the communication systems of all Earth civilizations within the solar system began broadcasting notifications that the Earth Federation had entered a state of combat.

"The Nuwa Quantum Network?" On Earth, in China, a burly man in black robes looked up, revealing a blue mechanical prosthetic eye. He glanced at the various announcements playing on the street about the Federation entering a state of war, pondered for a moment, and then directly connected to the Federation network to register: "Earth Machine Race Caesar, requesting warship type modification."

"Dongdongba, do you want to sign up?" On the other side, in a mechanical factory on Earth, Jiang Ni, a girl wearing dirty work clothes but with very bright eyes, looked at the mechanical giant bear in front of her and asked curiously.

"The front line is very dangerous." The mechanical giant bear named Dongdongba was silent for a moment, then looked down at the girl beneath it.

“You’re a top-tier mechanic, I’ll be your apprentice mechanic, and we can work in logistics!” Jiang Ni said, her eyes shining brightly.

The mechanical giant bear, Dongdongba, possesses exceptional talent in mechanical modification. Since the end of the last war, Dongdongba has collected mechanical data through the Federation's network and then brought her to this mechanical factory to work as a mechanic. Of course, Dongdongba is a fully qualified mechanic, while she is merely a mechanical apprentice.

"But it's still very dangerous." Dongdongba didn't really want Jiang Ni to go to the front lines with the fleet because the front lines were indeed very dangerous. Whether it's a special fleet or an ordinary fleet, each has its own dangers.

Special fleets undertake extremely dangerous missions, and even with their superior strength, they are still prone to taking risks. While ordinary fleets face much less pressure, they carry a higher risk of sinking.

"Dongdongba is the best, okay?" Jiang Ni hesitated for a moment, then suddenly changed her expression, stepped forward and hugged Dongdongba's big mechanical hand, and started to act coquettishly.
“Let’s go to Caesar’s fleet.” Dongdongba was silent for a moment, but in the end, he couldn’t persuade Jiang Ni otherwise and chose to compromise.

"But we must agree on three rules: once you're on the starship, you must listen to me."

"Okay, okay, okay! I'll definitely listen to you, Dongdongba is the best!"

"."

Compared to the normal art style in most areas, the art style in some places is a little different.
"Did you hear that? Little Coward No. 3, your moment to make a name for yourself has arrived!" someone exclaimed excitedly in a certain AI family group.

"Yes! It's time for our 'Slacker Xiaolun' family to take center stage in the universe!" This group of intelligent machine families, which resembled the 'Funeral Love Family', began to have heated discussions.

"Our clan leader has registered us under the name of the 'Slacker Xiao Lun Clan'! We've passed the review! It's time to show the might of our 'Slacker Xiao Lun Clan'!" an intelligent machine exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes! The assignment list is out! Let me see... Our cowardly Xiao Lun family has been assigned to a fleet codenamed 'Judgment'!"

Ge Xiaolun (aware of the element): What do you mean? Chase after them and kill them??
As the Earth Federation officially entered a state of war, the Omnic race began to undergo vehicle modification. Their vehicle modification was very simple because their Omnic core was a standard that could be adapted to any large machine.

The types of 'mechanical beings' that can be chosen include warship system command, engineering machinery, war mechs, logistics systems, etc. They can be competent in any place where they can insert their mechanical core.

Compared to the human brain, the AI's core algorithms have a greater advantage when processing repetitive data. The Earth Federation fleet already has warship-type AIs in service. Other AIs only need to absorb the 'warship data packages' passed down from their warship predecessors, and then they can utilize the warship's own computing power to take on the role of the warship's system.

With the assistance of intelligent mechanical systems possessing exceptional 'replicability' and 'learning ability,' the difficulty for Earth's humans in piloting Federation warships has drastically decreased, significantly lowering the barrier to interstellar civilization. This is why Feng Xi initially devoted so much effort to researching intelligent machines.

Because in the future interstellar era, the emergence of omnics can help humanity reduce the burden of control and learning costs, allowing humans to learn while fighting, rather than having to learn how to pilot a starship before they can fight.

The Earth Federation entered a state of war very quickly. They had already been in a semi-war state before, and this was just a formal notification. Within a month, the Earth Federation fleet completed its preparations and began to advance towards the edge of the solar system.

The Earth Federation fleet, with over five hundred interstellar warships, was a terrifying force for Earth's newly arrived interstellar civilization when it appeared before other cosmic powers, leaving everyone stunned!

"They only recently entered the interstellar age, just a few years ago? And they already possess over five hundred interstellar warships?! And these are large warships capable of interstellar travel!" Within each civilization, faced with the astonishing results observed by frontline probes, this reality was difficult to accept. Because Earth's civilization was far too young in their eyes.
"Impossible! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How can they have more starships than us?!" If we only consider the size of the starships, Earth's civilization's five hundred warships can basically be considered a second-rate civilization in the universe.

The reason why the Taotie warships were able to become a second-rate civilization in the universe with only five hundred interstellar warships is because their foundation was very solid, and they belonged to the first tier in the known universe's warship science. Therefore, the five hundred interstellar warships that Earth directly salvaged from the 'sea of ​​stars' are fundamentally first-tier warships in the universe, capable of interstellar travel, which is a dimensional reduction attack for many interstellar civilizations.

"No, that's not right. Even if the Taotie civilization gifted Earth with so many interstellar warships, Earth shouldn't have had that many people to pilot them in such a short time." Many civilizations expressed their incomprehension. They couldn't understand the Taotie civilization's act of gifting Earth with such a large package of warships, nor could they understand how Earth could have formed a considerable interstellar fleet in such a short period. Could it all have been a charade? A mere show?
"My esteemed subjects, it seems we only received news yesterday that Earth civilization had defeated the main fleet of the Taotie, right? And today Earth civilization already possesses a fleet of five hundred warships?" In some civilizations, due to the great distance and the varying importance of different information, two messages that were three years apart arrived within two days of each other.
The Second Taotie War on Earth didn't initially cause much of a stir or attract much attention, so even if other powerful civilizations observed the Taotie fleet invading Earth, they didn't publicize it. However, many things happened during the Second Taotie War. The most serious was the fall of the Angelic Civilization's Holy Queen Keisha, which directly led to the shattering of the original order of the universe. More importantly, the main force of the Angelic Civilization is currently being held back by the Demonic Civilization.
This means that the power structure under the just order of the Angelic Civilization is no longer static, and other powerful civilizations have the urge to demand their own interests from other civilizations.

However, since the time since the fall of Holy Keisha was relatively short, the deterrent effect of the Angelic Civilization has not completely dissipated and still lingers in the minds of all civilizations. Therefore, other powerful civilizations have not yet made any unusual moves.

However, at this time, the Taotie Civilization, belonging to the Styx Civilization, made another unusual move, which naturally attracted the attention of all the powerful civilizations in the known universe. They secretly fueled the flames, accelerating the spread of the war between the Styx Civilization and the Earth Civilization. This led to absurd reports that some civilizations received news of the Earth Civilization's victory yesterday, and today they heard that the Earth Civilization had taken out five hundred interstellar warships to fight the enemy.
Of course, some people even knew first that Earth had dispatched 500 interstellar warships to meet the enemy, and only later learned of Earth's victory. They were still wondering how this interstellar war could have been fought so quickly.
"Five hundred interstellar warships??" When Liang Bing, who was on vacation on a planet in the Angel Star Region, suddenly heard this news, a look of confusion flashed across her face. Then she shook her head and said, "Did the Taotie go there to deliver a newbie gift pack to Earth? Seeing that Earth had entered the interstellar age, they happily ran over and delivered five hundred interstellar warships as a newbie gift pack?"

"Oh, Queen, how should I put it? Last time, the Gluttonous King Shizhu led a thousand Gluttonous warships to invade Earth. In the end, less than three hundred warships escaped from the Chiwu Star System. In total, more than five hundred warships were sunk in the Chiwu Star System by various means, including the more than one hundred Gluttonous warships on Earth." Demon Atai, inside Demon One in the Demon Nebula, reported to Liang Bing with a solemn expression.

"Earth civilization is currently building a quantum information network. It's difficult for us to observe its internal workings at present. Judging from external data alone, of the 500 ships in Earth's fleet, over 400 were salvaged from the starry sea. Nuwa Fengxi's salvage rate is as high as 80%! Those Taotie guys are sending more and more ships at once!"

"Moreover," Demon Atai swallowed hard, his expression complex, "the Gluttonous King Ship should have been salvaged, but we don't know whose ship it was yet."

No wonder the Demon Civilization thinks the Taotie are just there to give out newbie gift packs, because they've given away way too much. The first wave included a flagship. Well, that's enough to end things. The first wave included a royal ship and five hundred starships... isn't that a bit too much? If the Taotie keeps doing this, we're going to report you, you feeding kills to the enemy!

Of course, the demon civilization also understood that the reason why Earth civilization was so overpowered and why the Taotie civilization liked to give out newbie gift packs was not because Earth civilization was strong, nor because the Taotie civilization liked to give them out, but because Nuwa Fengxi's abilities were too special!
Nuwa Fengxi is the only technological deity in the known universe with the ability to salvage sunken ships on a large scale! Moreover, this technological deity, seemingly from mythology, is practically a conceptual "river god," capable of salvaging anything! Salvaging from galaxies! Salvaging from the river of time! She's simply an overpowered being!

Their demonic civilization thought Nuwa Fengxi had good potential before, but they never imagined it would be this terrifying. It hasn't been long since we last saw her, and she's already back online while we weren't looking, huh? What? It doesn't count as being open unless it's closed? You...you ...
"For a fleet-based civilization like the Taotie, Feng Xi is like running a junkyard. As long as your stuff explodes near him, he won't lose money." Liang Bing gently shook her head. Feng Xi's growth rate was beyond imagination, just as the growth rate of Earth's civilization was beyond imagination.
In Liang Bing's original estimate, it would take hundreds of years for Earth's civilization to fully develop. Even to reach its current state, it would take at least ten or twenty years, right? After all, your Earthlings need to understand what the universe is before they can adapt to the interstellar age, right? But you only spent three years to pull out a large interstellar army from Earth, which is a bit unreasonable, isn't it?
"Yes, Your Majesty. Nuwa Fengxi is the kind of person who you can't afford to lose anything in front of. Once you lose something, your things will become his, and he'll take everything, dead or alive. It seems that there are organized Taotie fleets in the Earth civilization's fleet." Nuwa Fengxi has incorporated a nearly full-strength Taotie fleet, which is really beyond Atai's imagination.
Their demonic civilization had deduced this repeatedly for a long time, but they still couldn't figure out what kind of magic the Empress Feng Xi possessed that could make the Taotie fleet, which regarded death as an honor, surrender as a whole.
"I told you long ago, Feng Xi is also a demon who can see into people's hearts." Suddenly, a cold female voice interrupted Liang Bing's communication channel.

"Oh? Rose, what do you think?" Liang Bing asked, a mysterious smile flashing across her face. "But this demon is different from you demons; he's a succubus." Rose, on the other end of the communication, had a look of reminiscence in her wine-red eyes before speaking slowly.

Rose's thoughts drifted back to four years ago. Back then, Feng Xi didn't have the 'golden toilet' to sit on, nor did she possess the divine aura she has now. At that time, Feng Xi was still a delicate and frail little girl, utterly helpless.

(Feng Xi: You're powerless to subdue a monkey? The chicken got killed, huh? Kill the chicken to scare the monkey? I'll beat the monkey? I'll beat up Brother Monkey??)
At that time, Feng Xi mostly didn't train with the Super Soldier Squad. It wasn't until he created that war machine that could escape on its own that he began to work on the Super Soldier Squad's ideological development.
A drill. A casual chat after drinking. A grand spectacle of slaying a monkey. A toast to the rising sun. That man so easily reshaped the extremely complex Super Soldier Company into an absolute core, which was the lofty dream that relied on himself.

"The reason why the Super Soldier Corps can be united and cannot be broken up no matter how hard we fight is because of Feng Xi." Memories of the past flashed quickly before Rose's eyes, and Rose's voice was somewhat deep.

"Hmm," Liang Bing hummed softly. In reality, her eyes gleamed with a strange light. She naturally understood that because of Feng Xi, she had tried everything she could but could not break up the Super Soldier Squad.

"But this is good," Liang Bing sighed inwardly. "If we could be separated, it would be boring."

“There are actually many factions within the Super Soldier Corps: Lieyang, Deno, Earth, Angels, and Demons.” Inside Demon One, Rose gazed silently at the dazzling starry sky outside the window and pondered, “We may not trust each other, and we may not know each other, but we all trust the same person. And because of this same person, we are bound together and will never be separated.”

Although she had never spoken to Feng Xi, Rose always felt that while others might not understand her choices, Feng Xi would definitely understand her. It was like an intuition, an intuition that had formed after six months of contact with Feng Xi.

These intuitions were gradually formed through Feng Xi's interactions with the other super soldiers of the Super Soldier Squad.
After that drill, Qi Lin stood firmly by Feng Xi's side.
At the end of their trip to Liangshan, when Feng Xi subconsciously raised his glass to invite a ray of morning light, Qiangwei understood that Lena, this 'outsider,' had been completely invited into the Earth's Super Soldier Corps by Feng Xi.

And what about Rose herself?
Rose stared silently at her reflection in the glass. Was this a chance for her to take command? No, Rose's thoughts seemed to drift back to that hazy afternoon when a wine-red potion streaked across the sky and landed in her hand.

From that moment on, Rose stood on Fengxi's side.

Within the Super Soldier Corps, almost everyone has had such small memories to some extent, which ultimately allows them to form an inseparable Super Soldier Corps with Feng Xi as the bond.

"A succubus?" Liang Bing murmured, then shook her head and chuckled, "Damn it, is she trying to steal my business?"

Liang Bing said this because she herself is a succubus. In the demon civilization, she occupies the position of 'bewitching hearts'.

"If that's how you put it, then it's easier to understand. Succubi, after all, it's normal for them to be powerful." Liang Bing looked up at the starry sky, a hint of complexity flashing in her eyes. She had once been a succubus herself, bewitching an entire civilization and then transforming it into her demonic civilization.

Feng Xi's Super Soldier Corps can actually be viewed through the same lens as Liang Bing's Demon Civilization. The backbone of the Demon Civilization was ultimately built around Liang Bing as its core.

"Earth civilization is about to face its own war that will determine its fate. Do you want to go back and help?" Liang Bing asked subconsciously.

“If the Demon Legion contracts its lines a little, the Angelic Civilization will make its move,” Rose said coldly, looking out at the starry river.

"Hehe." Liang Bing chuckled, then shook her head and said, "Rose, Rose, you're becoming more and more like a devil."

"However, I feel that this war might develop in a way that no one expects," Liang Bing said softly, her voice distant and ethereal.
"Because Feng Xi is the kind of person who wouldn't make the same mistake twice."

To the surprise of Rose, Atai, and the others, Liang Bing's views on Earth's civilization were surprisingly high.
"Just watch. I have a feeling this might be Earth's civilization's ascension to godhood, a test of its abilities against the gods of the known universe."

"Hmm, are you going too?" In the main hall of Nuwa in the Solar System, Nuwa Fengxi looked at the graceful figure in the hall below and couldn't help but pause slightly.

"The Earth Federation is in danger. As a soldier, I can't just stand by and do nothing, can I?" Qi Lin held a little Nai Sha in her left arm and a big fat dog in her right arm, her face full of happiness, and the tenderness in her eyes seemed to melt people's hearts.

Finally, she also enjoyed the "blessing of having two wives"! She fulfilled the great dream of everyone at the Nuwa Palace Research Center to have "women on both sides"!

Inside the Nuwa Palace Research Center, there are now two mascots! One is Little Milksha, and the other is Big Fat Bird!

Normally, it's rare to see two at the same time, making it extremely difficult to realize the grand dream of "cuddling both of them"! Some genius scientists are even planning to exchange their "rewards for contributions" for the chance to hug both Little Milka and Big Fat Bird at the same time!
"Hmm," Nuwa Fengxi pondered for a moment, not directly refusing, but carefully considering Qi Lin's idea, and finally slowly nodded and said, "It's possible. However, the starship you need to go to has an extremely dangerous mission."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing the words "extremely dangerous," Qi Lin was taken aback. Her beautiful, clear eyes blinked as she quietly stared at Nuwa Fengxi for a long time before finally saying with a fascinating expression, "Well, you really are the type to do more work, aren't you?"

Despite her complaints, Qi Lin didn't reject Feng Xi's suggestion. Instead, she smiled and said, "Do I get any extra compensation? You have to give me some safety compensation, right? You can't really expect me to go and get myself killed, can you?"

"Of course." Nuwa Fengxi smiled slightly, casually brushing off a strand of her hair and tossing it to Qilin, who was not far away.

The black hair slowly changed shape in the air, eventually transforming into a large, plump, milky-white bird with lapis lazuli patterns, which landed on Qi Lin's head.

Nuwa the Great Fat Bird.

"Although there shouldn't be too much danger, it's still better to bring Nuwa the Great Fat Bird along just to be on the safe side," Nuwa Fengxi explained.

In terms of importance, Quantum Fat Bird < Third Generation Armor < Nuwa's Great Fat Bird.

Feng Xi can receive even stronger support and protection thanks to the Great Fat Bird of Nuwa.

At present, Earth's civilization does not have any time-space weapons that allow Qi Lin to deter the front lines from the rear. Therefore, if Qi Lin wants to go to the front lines, Feng Xi will not refuse.

So far, Feng Xi has only released two Nuwa Giant Chucks, one with Ge Xiaolun and the other with Qi Lin. On the other hand, Feng Xi has released quite a few Quantum Chucks; they're present in most parts of the Earth Federation, and there's one on each interstellar warship, serving as nodes in the Nuwa Quantum Data Network.

Therefore, Feng Xi's nickname "Big Fat Bird Fairy" is not without reason.
"Hey!" Qi Lin casually tossed Little Milksha aside and picked up the chubby Nuwa bird on her head. Little Milksha, dropped to the ground, froze, her face filled with disbelief.
"I've wanted this for ages! If I wasn't worried about it harming your health, I would have snatched it from you long ago!"

"..." Nuwa Fengxi could only shrug helplessly and said softly, "Under normal circumstances, the third-generation black armor is enough. Nuwa Big Fat Bird is just being a little safer."

"I don't care, I don't care! Tell me where I'm going this time? Is it really that dangerous?" Seeing Feng Xi give her a giant fat bird, Qi Lin couldn't help but be curious. She didn't understand where Feng Xi was going to throw her into.
I'm not afraid, but I'm definitely curious.

"You can't take this big, fat Nuwa bird back!"

"Sigh, no, no." Feng Xi shook his head, then smiled helplessly, "Let's wait and see for now, observe whether the Styx civilization's fleet carries any mysterious black technology. When the time is right, we will directly send your starship to the scene."

"What starship? And it's the grand finale?" Qi Lin hugged the chubby Nuwa bird, her eyebrows and eyes like crescent moons.

“The Royal Ship.” A glint flashed in Nuwa Fengxi’s eyes.

"The Blazing Sun!"

The Lieyang Civilization couldn't build a royal warship, but that's alright. The Taotie Civilization built it for you. Say thank you!

"Lena?" Qi Lin was taken aback.

"Yes, you'll be going on missions together."

Nuwa Fengxi nodded, thought for a moment, and then explained:
"Perhaps you will be directly transferred behind enemy lines and take charge on your own."

"Will it recover?" Qi Lin asked with a complicated expression.

"No." Feng Xi shook her head.

"Huh?" Qi Lin looked at Feng Xi in confusion. Wasn't this sending them to their deaths?
"You are hunters."

"The best defense is the best offense."

“My God Karl, I have reached the star system near the Chiwu star system. This time, your devout believer will not disappoint you.”

At this moment, in the silent and unchanging depths of space, in a constellation of starships, the Devourer, its body radiating a ghostly light and its mechanization deepening, sat high on its throne.

Having gained the power of the void, he felt he was invincible again.
