When Robert Killiman was alerted aboard the Glory of Maculag that there had been an explosion inside Fort Galatan, the ship's time indicated that it was late at night on the fourth clock.

There is no difference between day and night in the void, and working hours are artificially divided. On this basis, the administrator only needs to skillfully stagger the schedules of the staff who will serve the operation of this behemoth, and can make sure that the entire starship has enough manpower to respond to the work at all times by reasonable and healthy means.

A number of clocks were set up on the Glory of Maculag to mark these artificially created "time differences", and the fourth, in Kiliman's own observations, was considered to be the most appropriate to coincide with the current schedule of Rika Fujimaru, who was a little unbearable for the Imperial Regent to dig her out of bed in the middle of the night on the fourth clock in response to a warning message that everyone had anticipated.

Physically, she is still just an underage child after all, and may never be an adult.

But one yard is one yard. Although he thought of this verse, the Imperial Regent issued an order to contact the Storm Frontier and summon Rika Fujimaru, just as he would mercilessly recall the naval officers he had just released to rest when he received an emergency report of the military situation. Then, he got up from behind his desk, which was stacked with all the rage, and announced that he was going to see it at the scene.

He had already argued with his guards about the matter, and had come to a conclusion. So, after he issued the order, Ciel and Sicarius, though obviously reluctant, slowly moved to his side with a squad of Sisters of Silence, ready to set off together.

He's not going to bring any more people for that. They were going to face another primordial, maybe two. The matter should be kept as secret as possible, even if he brought more people with him. In the face of the original body, it does not have any decisive significance in terms of security.

But strange to say, the "explosion" that finally happened on the Galatan Star Fort made a big stone fall in the hearts of all those who knew it. On the premise of knowing that similar losses will inevitably occur, when it really happens in reality, it gives people a sense of settled. All Kiriman needs to confirm now is how much damage Fort Galatan has suffered in this matter.

As early as when he left the cell where Conrad Coz was being held, Rika Fujimaru had warned him that these protections were not reliable enough for a primordial who understood the nature of his subspace, let alone two. At the end of their separate conversation in the Chamber of Secrets, she reiterates similar remarks, stating that unless the dungeons of Terra Palace are moved to Gallatan Star Castle, the battle between Koz and Corax "will definitely have" is basically a fantasy. As a result, Kiriman adjusted his strategy towards the matter: from "strict defense" to "control the damage". Now is the time to check the final results.

They made their way to the Galatan Star Fort via the subspace teleporter, and made their way to the area that had been temporarily designated as a prison, and as a matter of course, they encountered no obstacles. But then, Kiliman discovers that the reason for the fact that they "encountered no obstacles" is not only due to his own status and authority, but also because by the time they arrived, the whole thing was actually nearing its end.

In the face of the condemnation of the original body himself, "why didn't you tell me the news in the first place", Marius Gage, the first leader of the Ultramarines who had been stationed here as part of the "control of losses", and the twenty Cursed Ultramarines he led quietly shrank at the same time.

"At the time of the incident, violent subspace fluctuations led to the shutdown of nearly all communication equipment." Relying on his strong anti-pressure quality, the leader of the Gage War Regiment began to talk half-truths and half-truths without blushing or beating heartbeats, "We repaired the equipment as much as possible, and only after the intensity of the local subspace storm was reduced did we restore communication with the outside world. ”

The part about the subspace fluctuations causing the equipment to shut down is true, but the Gage Warband Leader has done some obscurity about the extent of the equipment shutdown. The original himself may or may not have discovered this, but the visible result is that instead of continuing his investigation, he turned his attention back to observing the scene:

During this time, the battlefield between Koz and Koraks has moved from the solitary prison of Koz further down to the upper level, where a large number of Midnight Lords are held. The vast space was squeezed by some kind of invisible atmosphere, which was unprovoked and panicking, and even Killiman could feel this strange pressure.

In addition to this, there is a distinct smell of blood in the air. Some of the equipment and the walls of the cells were inevitably destroyed during the battle between the two primitives, but only a few Midnight Lords escaped from within, and apparently had no intention of continuing to flee - they all gathered around their genetic fathers.

Surprisingly, Coetzes himself—barely recognizable to Killiman, who recognized the two brothers present by some indescribable sensation rather than his own sight—seemed to display a protective attitude toward the heirs huddled under his bat's wing.

And that's not the only surprising part. If it weren't for the fact that he had seen the raven who thought he was "Ecovacs Corax" in advance, and had been reminded by Rika Fujimaru, it would have been impossible for Killiman to recognize the two ...... that were currently entrenched in this vast ruin Something, it turned out to be his brother.

In this wave of subspace intertwined with reality, Conrad Coetz has almost lost his human form. In Killiman's senses, his position was a darkness darker than black. No light escapes from it, and no one knows what is shrouded in darkness – but that's what makes this amorphous darkness feel terrifying from the bottom of your heart. This is not a message that can be conveyed by the physical senses, but a message that is poured directly into the viewer's soul, and the darkness is like a faithful but cold mirror, stubbornly reflecting the horror and sin in the viewer's own heart, and as if to slowly drag the other person into it.

Even if he was able to remain calm under such pressure, the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm that creatures should naturally possess made Killiman look away after a brief staring. He tried to observe his other brother, only to find that Corax's dignity was not much better. Unlike the raven he had seen "at least a part of him" before, this one Corax apparently resembled the original in size, but it was still far from the pale, quiet brother that Killiman had in his mind.

He had almost completely lost his power armor, and outside of the tattered and worrisome pieces of armor, his entire body was almost covered in pure black crow feathers, and the light source from the outside world could barely reflect off it. He also has a pair of bird wings stretched out on his back, similar to that of St. Giles, but with the same black feathers on it. He appeared to have an entity, but it was also changing in size erratically with the nearby waves of subspace, almost melting into the darkness like a candle flame that flickered in the dark.

"You'd better not get your ladies too close." A distant, terrifying voice came from the darkness that represented Coetze, but after Killiman had tried to remove the effects of subspace on his mind as much as possible, he realized that the tone of the sentence sounded surprisingly calm, "The unresolved feud between the two of us is one thing, but our little brother is clearly ...... at the moment Mental health is worrisome. ”

It sounds strange to you. Killiman couldn't help but think so, but he didn't say it. Because the following cracked, shattered and vague, trembling roar from subspace made the best note on this evaluation:

"I—I'm going to—kill—you—"

Covacs Corax, who was wrapped in black feathers and had almost completely turned into some kind of subspace creature, let out such a scream that shocked everyone's minds without heeding the occasion.
