"Sir, what exactly are these Void Devourers?"

Someone quickly asked.

They had no knowledge of such a bizarre and malicious race hiding in the unknown star domains.

The old man stared intently at the invaders in the distance, his voice trembling with anger.

"Look around them!"

The crowd followed his gaze.

They saw that the area occupied by the Void Devourers was visibly decaying, as if life itself was being forcefully drained away!

"These monsters,"

The old man growled, "Their sole purpose for existence is to devour all energy!"

"In order to grow quickly, wherever they pass, it will become a dead, lifeless place where even time comes to a halt!"

"Because of this, they continue to invade and destroy one fertile star domain after another!"

"Every place defiled by them will descend into eternal damnation, with no hope of revival!"

Upon hearing the old man's explanation, the crowd instantly understood.

So that's how it is!

They immediately realized why Empress Hathaway had spent so many years waging wars and unifying all known star domains.

It wasn't for pure conquest, but in a nearly ruthless way, gathering strength to protect these worlds from certain destruction!

For a moment, many people couldn't help but feel a question rising in their hearts.

Why didn't the Empress directly reveal the truth?

If she had been open about it, wouldn't it have been easier to unite all the forces and collectively resist the threat of these Void Devourers?

But they didn't know, Hathaway had already considered this.

But making that idea a reality was nearly impossible.

How many factions and individuals would be willing to give up their own interests and power to believe in a distant possibility before the true crisis arrived?

It was simply impossible!

Therefore, Hathaway chose the most direct and efficient way.

By using absolute power to forcibly unite the known star domains as one.

Clearly, she had almost succeeded.

If not for the sudden rise of Dalton, perhaps the entire known star domain would have already been fully integrated into the Sacred Empire's territory.

So how did the Empress know that such an evil race lurked in the Unknown Land?

And who was this old man who revealed the truth?

Just as someone was about to ask the old man's identity, they realized he had silently disappeared.

Just as mysteriously as he had appeared on the battlefield!

With no time to investigate the old man's whereabouts, everyone's attention was once again focused on the battlefield.

The repulsive Void Devourers continued to pour out from the rifts in space.

Among them, many powerful beings were present, and even Sanctuary Lord rank presences were a majority!

This meant the coalition's advantage in lower-tier strength was completely nullified.

As this realization set in, the crowd's expressions grew heavy once again.

At the same time, the Sacred Empire armies stationed at other borders began to send reinforcements.

The original border defense army alone was no match for the terrifying Void Devourer army.

Not to mention, they also had an Authority rank powerhouse leading them!

Just then, Dalton's strong figures and some of Sacred Empire's top combatants finally arrived on the battlefield!

Looking at the massive Void Devourer army at the border and the Sacred Empire's border defense forces confronting them, the newly arrived reinforcements were deeply shaken.

Upon seeing the reinforcements arrive, the Sacred Empire's Rock Guardian, stationed there, finally let out a sigh of relief.

He had no idea how much pressure he had been under just moments ago!

Though he was a Supreme Sanctuary rank powerhouse, he had no confidence in facing the enemy before him.

The disparity in strength was simply too vast!

When he saw the reinforcements' lineup, his heart immediately settled.

God of War, War Sovereign, Holy Sword Master, Blade Sovereign, Paladin...

This lineup was nothing short of magnificent!

If this couldn't resist the enemy, there was nothing more he could do.

"I, on behalf of Her Majesty the Empress, thank you all for coming to our aid!"

The Rock Guardian called out loudly.

"Guardian, the enemy's target is the worlds of all living beings, and as citizens of this starry sky, it is our destiny to fight to the death for them!"

In the distance, Zeth furrowed his brows.

He hadn't expected the resistance here to be so strong, almost rivaling their own Void Devourer race!

Their race's strength had been built upon the total destruction of countless star domains!

How were these indigenous stronglings so powerful?

Where did this world get such abundant resources to nurture so many strong warriors?

Zeth's mind was filled with deep confusion!

...

Deep within the Sacred Empire.

Hathaway's lips curled into a faint smile as she retracted her mind power.

It seemed she didn't need to intervene personally just yet.

Her thoughts drifted back to the distant past, and a hint of regret stirred within her.

Regret for her arrogance and self-confidence back then!

In her previous life, after her rebirth, she had quickly risen to become the invincible being known as the Star God, thanks to her unmatched talent and the preparations she had left behind!

She should have developed steadily and eventually ascended to the higher planes of the Muline Universe, where her plans could help her quickly regain her power.

However, at that moment, a deadly threat emerged from the Unknown Land in this plane.

She had felt the chilling, evil presence coming from the depths of the void.

At that time, she didn't hesitate. She had rushed into that Forbidden Unknown Land that countless powerful beings feared.

Even though she knew that no one who entered it ever returned.

"...A guest has arrived!"

"Hehe... Another fool coming to his death."

As soon as she stepped into that lifeless, twisted domain, malicious voices echoed around her.

"I'll give you three seconds to show yourself!"

Her cold voice carried a unique aura, spreading far into the void.

The environment around her was entirely different from the outside world, with all the laws appearing chaotic and decaying, a place where no normal being could survive.

The void fell into silence.

"I haven't seen someone so arrogant in a long time."

The void in front of her ripped open.

A twisted figure exuding a nauseating aura appeared!

Seeing this bizarre creature, Hathaway's expression grew colder.

"Did you cause this disturbance?"

"It was me, and what of it?"

The figure let out a shrill laugh.

"My mission is to lead my kind in devouring everything! All things in this world shall eventually return to the void..."

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the figure was struck violently, flying back, a foul-smelling dark liquid spraying from its body.

Hathaway, standing in place, slowly withdrew her fist.

She had no words for this bizarre creature before her.

"Impudent!"

The figure stabilized itself, its rage mixed with astonishment.

"Very well, damn you! You've just earned the Void Devourers' wrath!"

It couldn't remember the last time it had been this angry!

At this moment, all it hoped for was that this woman was strong enough, or else her quick death would be far too boring!
