279: Welcome to my stomach

"Understood!"

With the command issued, the Federal Fleet operated at high speed. Within one minute, thirty of the most advanced Ghost-class assault ships were assembled, with Li Xue凝 personally commanding the flagship, Ice Phoenix.

"Governor, the 'Vanguard' assault fleet is assembled!"

"Very good." Su Lei transmitted the navigation chart: "Follow me closely, don't make a single mistake."

With that, he piloted the judicator, like the bravest navigator, and was the first to charge into that storm of destruction!

Behind him, thirty assault ships formed a sharp arrow, following closely, plunging into the death zone!

The moment they entered the channel, everyone felt as if they had entered a distorted tunnel made of funhouse mirrors. Space constantly folded and stretched, with alternating scenes of sea of fire and ice fields flashing by. Fragments of broken Law scraped against the shields like razors, creating ripples.

All the pilots were at their mental limits, staring intently at the black mech in front. Deviating by even a meter would mean being reduced to cosmic dust.

Two minutes later.

"Report, Governor! 'Vanguard Seven' and 'Vanguard Twelve' deviated from the course, signal lost! 'Blade Five' was crushed into a pancake by a gravitational singularity!"

Li Xue凝's voice was heavy.

"Keep moving forward."

Su Lei replied.

This much loss was just an appetizer.

As the fleet went deeper, the storm became even more bizarre. A nebula composed of countless eyes blinked in unison upon seeing the fleet, and a terrifying mental pollution instantly enveloped them!

Several pilots immediately bled from all seven orifices and fainted, fortunately, Li Xue凝 timely deployed the nascent form of her Domain, freezing the pollution with Ice Law.

"One minute left! All personnel, engine overload, prepare to sprint!"

The fleet, like an arrow released from a bow, launched its final charge towards the finish line!

Finally, in the last second before the countdown reached zero, an area of absolute calm appeared ahead.

A spherical Domain of Nothingness with a diameter of tens of thousands of kilometers.

And at the center of the Nothingness, something was suspended.

It changed the definition of its own existence at a frequency of hundreds of millions per second.

The Thousand Faces.

Or rather, after countless eons of self-devouring, it had returned to one, becoming zero.

The fleet successfully entered the calm zone, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, an alarm blared in Su Lei's heart.

It was too smooth, so smooth it felt like a deliberate arrangement.

And it was at this moment.

A gentle voice echoed directly in everyone's mind: "Welcome, guests from afar."

"Welcome to my stomach."

As soon as the words fell, the entire Domain of Nothingness began to change! The invisible barrier that had isolated the storm was visibly shrinking inward!

The safe navigation channel they had used to arrive was long since submerged by the Law tide.

Their retreat was cut off. They had become turtles in a jar.

"This is a trap!"

Li Xue凝 was also shocked.

"That's right."

The gentle voice carried amusement: "A welcome ceremony I meticulously prepared for you. You thought that channel was calculated by yourselves? No, I deliberately leaked it to you, a shortcut to truth."

"Here, my Place of Unification, is the end of the shortcut. An ultimate furnace that can assimilate and decompose everything."

"I have waited too long; those scraps and leftovers couldn't complete my final evolution. Until you appeared..."

"Such fresh, powerful energy... especially you. On you, I smell two errors, two cornerstones, and an even older, more delicious aura that even I cannot see through!"

"Devouring you, I will be able to completely perfect myself and become truly omniscient and omnipotent!"

"So, give up resistance."

"Be honored, to be the last cornerstone on my Ascension Ladder!"

The invisible barrier capable of assimilating all things, that ultimate prison named the Place of Unification, was pressing down like the contracting stomach wall of a giant beast, with an unstoppable momentum.

On the bridge of the flagship Ice Phoenix, the blood-red alarm lights stained every terrified face like demons from Hell.

"Main shield energy loss 99%! Structural integrity is collapsing!"

"The outer armor of the hull is being converted into unrecognizable basic particles! It's eating us!"

"We are disappearing!"

The desperate reports, one after another, eventually fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stopped their futile operations, like puppets whose Souls had been drawn out, staring blankly at the pure darkness that was constantly approaching outside the viewport.

In this Domain, death itself became a luxury, because even the concept of existence would be completely stripped away.

In the center of the bridge, Li Xue凝's ice-blue nascent Domain had been pushed to its limit, but it was like a candle in the wind, its flame flickering and disintegrating inch by inch under the erosion of the Domain of Nothingness.

She tried her best, but only managed to delay the complete digestion of this meritorious flagship by a few meaningless seconds.

Hope was extinguished.

Dead silence was the only melody.

In this absolute despair, a calm, almost cold voice, through the highest Governor authority, resounded throughout the bridges of every surviving warship.

"All ships, all units."

It was Su Lei!

"Effective immediately, transfer all your remaining energy, including but not limited to engine cores, weapon Systems, and even the last trace of energy from life support Systems, in reverse to the flagship judicator."

This was suicide!

It was ordering everyone to pull out their own breathing tubes and supply the last bit of oxygen to a seemingly unrelated person!

This was to completely sacrifice the last faint heartbeat of the entire fleet!

"Su Lei!"

Li Xue凝 suddenly turned her head, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief, staring intently at the black mech hovering at the very front of the fleet on the main screen.

"This is an order."

"Execute."

Li Xue凝 gritted her silver teeth.

She didn't know what Su Lei intended to do, but she chose to trust this man who had created countless miracles.

"Ice Phoenix responding to command! Energy reverse transmission protocol initiated! Target, flagship judicator!"

Following her hoarse command, the commanders of the other twenty-odd assault ships also awoke from the immense shock.

In an instant, the most tragic and brilliant scene unfolded in the Star Sea.

Streams of energy, thick as Dragons, carrying the last radiance and will of a heroic fleet, shot out from each disintegrating warship. They crossed the Void Realm, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, all converging into that black mech, the judicator, which stood alone facing the endless Void Realm.

The moment it made contact with this immense energy, enough to detonate a star, the judicator's body began to violently disintegrate!

The thick super-alloy armor turned into flowing, scorching molten iron, and countless precise circuits instantly burned to ashes under overload.

Inside this destroyed steel body, a figure remained unharmed.

Su Lei's figure emerged from the melted mech wreckage.

He was bare-chested, faint eternal golden light flowing over his bronze skin, his eyes closed, suspended in the Void Realm.

The torrent of energy, enough to collectively disintegrate an entire interstellar fleet, was now frantically pouring into his body.
