But if a civilization like the Void Spirit Race does its utmost to escape, Human Civilization can do nothing about it.

Even though they already know the location of the Void Spirit Race's Mother Star, now is still not a good opportunity to launch a counterattack.

Human Civilization needs time to recover its power, and even more time to develop.

However, the news of repelling the Void Spirit Race still spread, prompting a surge of cheers throughout all of Human Civilization.

Many people simply couldn't believe it.

It had only been a few months from total defeat and despair to now, when they had finally managed to repel the enemy.

It felt as if they had ascended from Hell straight into Heaven.

However, the upper echelons of Human Civilization had also begun to gradually release intelligence about Interstellar Civilization society. They could not put too much pressure on the people, but neither could they allow the pressure to become too light.

The shadow of annihilation still hung over interstellar humanity.

Intersellar world Shen Yu took the new monster away. In fact, he had a plan: he wanted to gather a number of top researchers, commanders, and administrators, and elevate them to the Extraordinary Level of Magic or Martial Arts, so they would possess even more formidable research, command, and management abilities.

In addition to some technical research and breakthroughs, there remained the constant need for Gray Mist.

Although he had acquired quite a bit of Gray Mist previously, careful consideration was needed regarding how to use it.

After that, the four worlds seemed to enter a relatively peaceful phase of development once again.

Each Shen Yu hoped this period of growth could last a little longer.

Even if there were few opportunities to acquire Gray Mist during this stage, normal development and strengthening could itself save a considerable amount of Gray Mist.

All the more so because the collisions between different civilization systems brought about things far from normal development.

Especially so for the Human Civilizations of the Intersellar World and Magic World.

The development of both civilizations actually leaned towards research, and the collision of magic and technology brought about numerous opportunities.

The rate of progress in both worlds was incredibly fast.

Yet, so long as the apocalyptic threat remained, such peaceful progress would never last.

Nearly a month later, Wizard Shen Yu discovered that the Divine Spirits had finally made a move.

Some Mages found strange-looking creatures in worlds that had already been destroyed by the Divine Spirits.

After learning about this, Wizard Shen Yu took it very seriously and summoned the Mage who discovered the creature.

This was a relatively young Mage; he was outfitted in a fully-enclosed Power Armor, covered with Demon Patterns and powered by a Magic Power Furnace to sustain those inscriptions. He was a test subject for the Drive Magic Armor Warrior project.

It was no exaggeration to say that every Mage who received Drive Magic Armor saw this mighty "Battle Armor" as a badge of honor.

Just like the Knight Orders of the past.

Even kneeling half on the ground before Wizard Shen Yu, he was still clad in this armor.

Of course, this was also because many of the Magic Empire's rules continued to follow old templates.

At this moment, the Mage, his heart pounding with excitement, gave a detailed explanation to the great Magic God and His Majesty the Magic Emperor about the monster he had encountered.

"Those monsters are definitely the handiwork of Divine Spirits!" declared the Mage with absolute certainty. "I sensed Divine Power on them; the strength they contained must be Divine Power."

His statement was accompanied by a recorded projection.

In the footage, the monster did not look like a creature of flesh and blood. Instead, it resembled a kind of Puppet.

Its body was covered in scarlet light, clad in an unimaginably hard shell. Although it was humanoid, every arm, leg, and even elbow ended in a sharp blade.

One glance and it was clear—these were monsters made for killing.

In truth, Wizard Shen Yu had already seen the related videos.

What truly caught his attention, and even worried him, was what happened next.

The Mage's magic, fired to blast these monsters, was absorbed and extinguished.

Yes, not just magic, but even raw Magic Power itself.

"I realized that not only did magic have no effect, it even made the monster stronger. So in the end, I used some of the other weapons built into the armor to drive it back," the Mage reported.

The other weapons he referred to were, of course, those inherent to the Battle Armor itself.

To be precise, it was a shot of a Plasma Bomb.

But even then, the monster was only repelled—not utterly destroyed.

"It must have been the work of the Divine Spirits," muttered Wizard Shen Yu quietly.

"Your Majesty, other exploration Mages have also found similar traces. Although the creatures look different, they are all hiding from our exploration Mage units," Julia bowed and said.

The exploration missions were now in Julia's hands.

This Mage, once tormented by a Divine Spirit's curse, had displayed truly extraordinary talent since overcoming the curse and starting to grow anew.

Moreover, her talent was mainly in offensive magic.

She also played a major role in the design of the Drive Magic Armor, even taking on responsibility for later experiments.

Now, she too wore a solemn expression.

Mages no longer held the former reverence for Divine Spirits, but their respect for the might of the Divine Spirits ran deeper than ever.

Especially powerful Mages like her, who understood clearly that the mighty power the Divine Spirits possessed could not yet be easily opposed.

"This definitely requires our full attention." Wizard Shen Yu stood up from his chair. "I'll go capture a specimen myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared directly into the Gray Mist.
