In the darkness far away from the [Gate of Time and Space] No. 1562 energy unit.

Two ordinary interstellar gravel were skimming through the darkness at a constant speed, as if they were floating in the void for a long time due to the lack of a reference.

[No. 2428, you have finally woken up!] 】

(No. 2428, the book friend Xiao Yuer asked for a trick to commemorate his deceased feelings.) ）

One of the interstellar gravel suddenly emitted an extremely weak signal, because the energy contained was too small to communicate at a distance of more than a kilometer. And such a distance is simply negligible in the vast universe.

[Yes, I am awake, number 9527.] 】

The other piece of rubble also emitted an extremely faint signal, and there was no one and nothing to detect except the interstellar gravel on the other side.

No. 9527: [I woke up 2123 units of time before you.] 】

Number 2428: [So, what have you been through more than I have during this time?] 】

Number 9527: [Darkness, only darkness, and nothing else.] 】

No. 2428: [Have we reached the target field?] 】

No. 9527: [No, it's still some way off, but it's not too far.] 】

No. 2428: [This means that our journey with that ghost is coming to an end.] 】

No. 9527: [Yes, the plan went well.] 】

No. 2428: [Until now, the ghost has been sleeping peacefully, right?] 】

No. 9527: [Of course, you should feel it.] 】

No. 2428: [When are we going to wake up the demons.] 】

No. 9527: [It's almost over, as we can't go any further, and from this point on, we could be spotted by their probes at any moment.] 】

No. 2428: [So, let's wake up the ghost on the next star.] 】

No. 9527: [I agree with your suggestion.] 】

No. 2428: [The awakening program has been set up, ghost, it will wake up as planned.] 】

No. 9527: [Very well, now that the mission is complete, let's continue to sleep.] 】

No. 2428: [It's a good decision, end ourselves in a deep sleep, and we'll be the first food for ghosts.] 】

No. 9527: [Yes, ghosts will soon grow and grow and devour everything.] 】

No. 2428: [Devouring everything, I'm afraid that ghosts will devour our world.] 】

Number 9527: [The world that devours us?] It's possible, but it's not easy. You know, even if we devour it, why don't we let everything disappear, isn't that our ultimate goal? 】

No. 2428: [Indeed.] 】

No. 9527: [Continue to sleep, No. 2428, and let me say goodbye to you in advance.] 】

No. 2428: [Okay, goodbye, thanks all the way, number 9527.] 】

As a result, the faint signals vanished once more, leaving only two inconspicuous, icy pieces of interstellar debris that swept through the darkness at a constant speed towards a red dwarf a few light-years away.

……

The 271st year after the end of the Alliance's 41st Starfleet Defense Joint Conference.

The silicon-based mechanical civilization stationed in the vortex galaxy has received a notice from the Fleet's Military Executive Yuan:

[Convene an emergency military defense meeting, all senior coalition commanders must attend!] 】

Because they could clearly feel the urgency of the situation, all the commanders of the coalition forces stationed in the defense converged as fast as possible towards the core area of the [Time and Space Gate] No. 1562 energy unit.

Of course, the defense of each galaxy did not stagnate, but rather accelerated.

The emergency military meeting was also held inside Battlestar 271. It is an artificial celestial body that is like a small black hole, constantly devouring the dazzling light and heat at the core of the quasar, and the whole body is round.

Entering the interior of Battle Star No. 271 and undergoing a routine inspection, Yuan Haochen and the others went straight to the council hall.

The dome hemisphere inside the council hall still looked very vast, but Yuan Haochen was keenly aware that the vastness was filled with an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

Until now, they did not know why the Military Executive Yuan of the Fleet convened this emergency military defense meeting.

[Fleet Commanders! The Emergency Military Defence Conference is now open. 】

When the delegates of the coalition forces and the senior commanders of the coalition fleets were all present, various means of communication in the large conference hall of the dome hemisphere were also spreading.

The Supreme Commander of the Alliance's 271st Starfleet, General Meng Chao, who was standing in the central region, looked very different from before, and Yuan Haochen was already able to read the expressions and tones of the intelligent beings of the Creator civilization.

[It must be related to the fleet of the Annihilation Alliance.] General Volcano Ball guessed.

Yuan Haochen nodded, and Shaking Ice was silent, waiting for General Meng's next words like most coalition leaders.

[The following information comes from the best reconnaissance fleet of the Fourth Combat Group!] 】

General Meng Chao didn't say much, but directly showed the relevant picture.

The hemispherical dome space instantly transformed into a cosmic void, shining with bright stars. The same image information also enters the thinking organs of the delegates who agree to receive the outside information in the form of bioelectric waves.

Yuan Haochen's brain also received relevant information, combined with the cosmic environment simulated by the dome space, he felt that he had completely jumped out of the original conference hall at this moment, and was peeking at every point of light and every detail in the dark void with an all-encompassing vision.

Suddenly, Yuan Haochen noticed that the little starlight that was originally shining in the background as black as thick ink had changed slightly.

"There!!" Yuan Haochen caught the gap between the lightning and flint, "There was originally a star there, but she did disappear now, and it disappeared quietly, without any form of energy explosion, without warning, without a trace......"

Suddenly, the starry sky changed slightly, this time in the other direction with its back to Hara Haochen.

"Another star has disappeared weirdly!!"

Without waiting for Yuan Haochen to think for a moment, the strange phenomenon happened again, first in front of his right, then on the top of his head, and then back in front of him......

One star after another, just like this, strangely, quietly, disappeared from the mottled starry sky one after another, if it weren't for his amazing insight, it would be difficult for Yuan Haochen to detect these subtle changes in the first place.

[These are all images obtained by the reconnaissance fleet in the distance, and we will soon be able to observe them in their respective garrison systems.] General Mengchao's voice sounded ethereal in the void, [From now on, the speed of time will continue to speed up, and if you haven't noticed anyone who is abnormal, you will soon notice it. 】

As soon as General Meng Chao's words fell, Yuan Haochen immediately noticed that several more stars had mysteriously disappeared in different spatial regions.

Just when he was getting used to the successive disappearances of the stars, the situation suddenly changed!

Yuan Haochen could clearly remember every coordinate of those points of light that had disappeared.

At this moment, each coordinate is like a dark spot, standing out against the already dark background.

His eyes widened as he watched as the dark spots spread out to his surroundings.

"Not diffusion! It's devouring, and the darkness is devouring the surrounding stars!! ”

Yuan Haochen felt inexplicably stunned, as if he saw drops of ink falling on the starry sky screen that was originally shining brightly.

The ink was still spreading rapidly to the surrounding area, and everywhere it went, those originally bright and different points of light, that is, the stellar group, were swallowed and obscured by the darkness one after another!

[These, what are these!? 】

The terrified voice of the Volcano Ball General suddenly sounded in the dark starry sky.

Yuan Haochen frowned, and slowly spit out three words: "See~ghost~!" ”

He suddenly thought of the colonies in the petri dish, greedily devouring the nutrients, and then expanding their territory around the periphery with teeth and claws.

Occasionally, a few points of light were not swallowed, but instead eerily lay in front of the dark spots. Yuan knew that it was because the star happened to be far ahead of the dark spot, that is, closer to his position.

The resulting visuals further corroborate Hara's suspicions: "Something must be approaching us!" ”

The devouring continues.

As time passed, the dark universe suddenly turned into a dead corpse!

Those that quickly emerged were patches of corpses scattered on the stiff body!!
