Federal Calendar 7709, January 4th, afternoon.
At the border between the Fosse Star Domain and the Sass Star Domain.
This place was a natural barrier formed by clusters of dust and meteorites.
For humans below the Legendary tier, there was only one way to pass through here—by using the space lanes to perform a jump.
The "magnetic field fog" inherent in these massive dust clusters blocked all conventional transportation methods.
Those deep and unknown "magnetic field fogs" had also made this place a rarely visited area, preserving its tranquility for countless ages.
Until today.
A Titan-class starship's arrival unexpectedly broke the tranquility here, making it the first visitor to come here in countless ages.
In the silent area above the star cluster, the relatively stable space lane was torn apart by a mighty force!
This ferocious-looking Titan-class starship was forcibly squeezed out of the space lane!
"Stop that ship! It's mine!!"
"Screw off! My perception locked onto it first!"
"Shut up! Whoever grabs it gets it!!"
"You guys are still arguing?! How childish!"
"Exactly! Look at the situation now—being able to get a piece of the ship's hull would be lucky enough!"
...
Five mysterious figures with faint auras were the first to follow behind the Titan-class starship as they stepped out of the space lane.
The next moment.
Countless pairs of gleaming eyes appeared in the space lane behind those five.
Countless figures with indistinguishable faces and hidden auras also broke through the nearby space lanes, pouring out in a stream!!!
"Hahahaha!! Finally ran into a big one! This trip wasn't wasted!!"
"This Titan-class ship is mine!! Nobody's taking it! Don't like it? Fight me!!!"
"You brainless idiot! It belongs to everyone!!"
"Agreed, let's think about how to split it first!!!"
"Ridiculous! How do you split a ship?! No way!! It's all mine!!"
"Come on, come on! Fight me!!"
"Hey, why aren't you guys still lurking in the space lane? There might be other Resistance ships passing by!!"
"Then why didn't you keep lurking?!"
"Sorry, but I've got my eyes on this Titan-class ship."
"Well, there you go! I've got my eyes on it too!!"
"Everyone, let me have this. I'm cuter! Also, my adorable underlings really need this ship!!"
"The one who said he's cute—when the fight starts, I'll kill you first!!!"
"Huh?! Those guys from the Eastern Star Domain are here too??"
...
As the nearby space lanes were torn apart, countless mysterious figures gathered in this barren area formed by dust clusters.
Countless spiritual minds collided in the void, making a ruckus.
Turning this place into a noisy meeting hall.
"Oh my, so lively!!"
"Huh?! Why are there so many people?!?"
"Looks terrifying. The broke Demigods hiding in the Federation didn't all come here, did they?!"
"Who called me broke?! Come out and fight!!!"
"Exactly, since when are Demigods considered broke?! Who's so rude?!"
"Presumptuous bastard! I'll smash you first when the fight starts!!"
"Seconded!"
"+1..."
"Wait, there were this many Demigods hiding in the Federation all along?!"
"Hold on, do you guys have Federation resident passports?!"
"Obviously, isn't that thing just a few tens of thousands of Spirit Stones?! Who wouldn't have one?!"
"Huh?? I don't have one! You can get a passport?! Why didn't anyone tell me?!"
"The guy without a passport—how did you get into the Federation?"
"I was summoned. What's wrong with that?!"
When this mysterious thought landed, the surroundings suddenly went quiet for a moment.
Countless faint figures' gazes all turned to look around them, trying to find who had sent out that thought.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it seems we have a traitor among us..."
After a brief silence.
The place erupted in noise once again.
"Guy from the Abyss, get the hell out!!"
"Damn it, something from the Abyss dares to show its face?! I'll beat you so badly the Abyss's will won't even recognize you!!"
"Fight to the death! Abyss guy! Come out and fight!! We promise not to gang up on you!!"
"Really??"
That mysterious thought, suspected to be from the Abyss, appeared again.
One second later!
"Found it! Over here! Come quick!!"
"The one in the black robe!!"
"Be more specific, dammit! Most people here are wearing black robes!!"
"The one with red magma patterns on his robe!!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's get him! Take out that brainless Abyss guy!"
"Hehe... It's been a while since I joined in such a fun group activity! I like it~"
"Seconded, it's time for our favorite anti-Abyss segment!"
"Protest! Beings from the Abyss have rights too!!"
"Huh?! Wait!! There's another brain-damaged Abyss guy over here!!"
"Oh? There's another one?!"
"Get him, everyone, let's go!!"
"Move aside! I've never fought an Abyss-produced guy before!! Let me go first!"
"That pitiful?! Then you go first."
...
10 seconds later.
Amidst a massive barrage of high-density attacks, those two brainless visitors from the Abyss were sent back to the Abyss by the joint efforts of the many mysterious figures.
It was a brutal scene.
By the time the cross-dimensional teleportation array automatically opened by the Abyss's will appeared beneath those two Abyss visitors, they had already become two blobs of unrecognizable black matter.
These mysterious figures, brimming with a spirit of freedom, displayed rare unity when facing the Abyss.
"Asking for death! Brainless and still daring to come to the Star Realm?!"
"Fighting in a group is indeed satisfying!!"
"It's been a while since I had this much fun..."
"You guys hit too hard! I only attacked a dozen times, and the fun was over?!"
"Be grateful, I only managed to attack 8 times!"
"5 times, anyone less than me??!"
"2 times. Bad calculation. You guys really go all out..."
"Here's a tip: when ganging up on Abyssal Demons like this, don't use big moves. It's more important to get attack frequency in, or it'll be over!"
"You're all beasts!"
"Sometimes, I genuinely feel ashamed to be human alongside you guys!"
"Eastern Star Domain guy, shut up. You were having the most fun just now! I was watching you—you attacked at least thirty times!"
"What?! Why were you secretly watching me at a time like this?! Are you secretly in love with me?!"
"Screw off! I'll smash you in a bit!"
"Oh, still a yandere!"
"Cute, I want to ship it..."
"Seconded."
"+1..."
"Hey! I'll kill you guys who are shipping nonsense!!"
"Who's afraid of who?! You'll learn to behave soon enough!!"
After finishing off the Abyss visitors, this group of mysterious powerful individuals gathered here returned to their initial chaotic state.
Not far away, the Titan-class ship floating quietly in the starry sky just sat there, motionless, as if no one was paying it any attention.
