A single thought can conjure ten thousand swords, and a torrent can annihilate a mighty foe!

Countless Void Locusts, like a thick black carpet, completely covered that frigate.

The ear-piercing sound of twisting metal, explosions, and the desperate screams of the crew before death transmitted through the public channel for only a brief moment before abruptly stopping.

An elite warship with a full complement of a thousand people, along with the warriors on board, was devoured clean in less than thirty seconds!

Only some fragmented wreckage remained, floating in the Universe.

"Damn it! Damn it!!"

On the aegis, General Patton's eyes were bloodshot as he slammed a fist onto the command console; the solid alloy surface was actually dented with a deep fist print from his blow!

"All secondary cannons! Fire at will! Blast these damn bugs into dust!!"

He roared frantically.

However, it was useless.

Their gunfire, compared to that boundless swarm of bugs numbering in the hundreds of millions, was like throwing a few pebbles into the ocean.

Aside from stirring up a few insignificant ripples, it was fundamentally unable to stop the advance of the tsunami!

Crack—!

Crack crack—!

Even more warships were caught up and submerged by the insect swarm.

The sounds of energy shields shattering rose and fell one after another!

On the bridge of every warship, the most shrill alarms resounded!

"General! The shields of frigates number three and five on the right wing have shattered!"

"The destroyer formation on the left wing has been split by the swarm! They are being besieged!"

"No! There are too many! We can't stop them at all!"

Despair spread through the entire United Fleet like a plague.

Vladimir's face also turned so dark it looked as if it could drip water.

He watched the star map as the green light dots representing their own warships went out one by one at an alarming speed.

His heart was bleeding.

This was the "Void Locust Plague"!

The nightmare of all civilizations on the Ten Thousand Races Battlefield!

They might not have the indestructible defense of the Blackstone Clan, nor the bizarre and unpredictable fel energy of the Abyss Demons.

But they had endless numbers!

And the most primal greed, sufficient to devour the stars!

"Your Excellency..."

Qin Pojun's throat felt a bit dry.

He looked at the man who, from beginning to end, had just been quietly looking out the window, as if appreciating a fireworks display that had nothing to do with him.

"If this continues, the fleet will be completely wiped out before we even reach the Eighth Pass!"

It wasn't just him.

Patton, Vladimir, Agatha... everyone's eyes converged on Lin Yuan.

There was anxiety, expectation, and also... a sliver of final hope that they hadn't even noticed themselves.

Just then.

Lin Yuan finally moved.

He didn't look back.

He didn't even say a word.

He just slowly raised his right hand.

Then, facing that sky-obscuring insect swarm that was enough to make anyone with trypophobia go crazy on the spot.

His five fingers opened.

Then, he gave a gentle squeeze.

Buzz—!!!!

The entire world seemed to lose all sound in this instant!

Time seemed to have its pause button pressed!

Whether it was the violent energy storms, the raging spatial rifts, or that endless swarm of insects... everything stood still at this moment.

Immediately following that.

In everyone's pupils, which contracted sharply due to extreme shock.

With the dragon charger as the center.

With Lin Yuan's loosely clenched right hand as the origin.

One!

Ten!

A hundred!

A thousand! Ten thousand! Hundreds of millions!!

Incalculable, slender and sharp Sword Qi shimmering with grey-gold light were born out of thin air!!!

They were like a swarm of slaughtering bees that had slept for billions of years, awakened by their sovereign!

Densely packed!

Covering the sky!

In an instant, they completely enveloped the entire United Fleet along with the surrounding Star Domain of millions of kilometers!

Every strand of Sword Qi emitted a terrifyingly sharp edge sufficient to easily tear through starship armor!

Hundreds of millions of Sword Qi strands converged together, forming a Sword Qi torrent even vaster, more terrifying, and more despair-inducing than the "Void Locust Plague"!

"My... God..."

General Patton's mouth hung wide open as he stared blankly at the grey-gold "sea of stars" composed of pure Sword Qi outside the porthole.

He felt his Soul trembling.

One thought, ten thousand swords born?

No!

This was one thought, transforming into a galaxy!

"This... this... this..."

Vladimir's hand holding the wine glass finally could no longer maintain its stability; with a "clatter," it fell to the floor.

The bright red liquid spilled all over the ground.

Yet he seemed not to hear it.

In his eyes, only that grey-gold storm of death, sufficient to crush everything, remained!

Avrora's small face had already turned deathly pale.

She tightly gripped the corner of her sister's clothes, her body trembling uncontrollably.

She finally understood.

That night, Lin Yuan said her body was saturated and she couldn't eat any more "Jellybeans."

What kind of mercy that was.

Because.

The man before her eyes, he himself was the most terrifying "Jellybean" capable of destroying the entire Universe!

In the instant everyone was lost in daze.

Lin Yuan's loosely clenched right hand swung violently toward the direction of the insect swarm!

Like a sovereign tired of the buzzing of flies, he waved his hand impatiently.

"Go."

One word.

Words carry the weight of law!

Boom—!!!!

That grey-gold galaxy composed of hundreds of millions of Sword Qi moved!

They transformed into a world-destroying cosmic tsunami!

Carrying the supreme might to shred stars and sever time and space!

It washed violently toward that black insect swarm!

In the next second.

A one-sided, extremely bloody feast of slaughter began!

"Screech—!!!"

Countless Void Locusts let out the final shrill shriek of their lives!

Their hard carapaces, which could withstand the bombardment of a warship's main cannons, were as fragile as snow under sunlight before that endless Sword Qi torrent!

No resistance!

No stalemate!

Only an instantaneous, complete crushing!

Cutting!

Shredding!

Evaporating!

The black insect swarm collided violently with the grey-gold Sword Qi torrent!

The scene was like a red-hot iron branding into a large block of butter!

Vast patches of black were instantly "purified"!

Countless severed limbs and green fluids were swept up by the Sword Qi storm, forming a tornado of flesh and blood spanning tens of thousands of kilometers!

The ear-piercing, scalp-numbing buzzing of insects instantly turned into even more shrill and desperate wails!

But soon, even the wails vanished.

Because the speed of the Sword Qi torrent was too fast!

Everywhere they passed.

Everything turned into nothingness!

Whether it was the Void Locusts, the violent energy storms, or those fatal spatial rifts!

Everything was razed to the ground before this absolute power!

A "grand avenue" hundreds of thousands of kilometers wide, absolutely flat, absolutely smooth, and absolutely safe, was forcibly plowed out!

This avenue extended from the bow of the United Fleet all the way to the end of vision.

As if it were meant to pierce through the entire Universe!
