Mid Sector 99—Major Space Portal Planet

Bzzzt

The enormous triangular space portal activated with a powerful surge, and a number of people emerged from within it one after another.

Poof Poof Immediately, every worker scattered across the planet who wasn’t kneeling yet dropped onto their knees and hands without the slightest hesitation, their bodies trembling visibly with a mixture of fear and respect.

Their total number was close to two hundred, and every single one of them was surrounded by the unmistakable aura of a Dominator. Each looked like an overbearing king in their own distinct way, carrying the natural bearing of someone accustomed to standing above countless others. Even the women among them wore arrogant expressions on their faces, as though the very air surrounding them was itself unworthy of approaching them.

Yet besides their usual imposing appearances and overwhelming auras... there was something noticeably strange about their expressions today, something that didn’t quite fit with their normal arrogance—bewilderment!

"What is happening here?" The young man standing in their midst asked in obvious bewilderment, then turned his head and glanced back over his shoulder toward those who had emerged alongside him. "Exactly how many days did we spend traveling?"

They had rushed toward the Major Space Gate the instant they received their orders, wasting almost no time at all. Within mere seconds, they had gathered together and departed for Mid Sector 99 with the objective of destroying Planet Donara, but every one of them knew perfectly well that such a journey wasn’t simply a matter of willing themselves there and instantly arriving at their destination.

No matter how incredibly fast the Major Space Gate was or how capable it was of crossing enormous barriers and distances, they should still have needed several full days to travel from Sector 1 all the way to Sector 99.

But the journey they had just experienced had seemed... far shorter than that, so much shorter that something about it immediately felt wrong?

"I don’t think we even spent a single hour traveling."

"Less than that."

"Is that even possible?"

"Come to think of it, the entire journey was suspiciously smoother and more stable than usual..."

Behind him, Antares’s children of every rank began responding with the same bewilderment and a noticeable trace of unease in their voices. According to everything they knew about the Law of Space, a field in which no creature surpassed them, what had just happened was genuinely impossible.

"Enough." The young man standing in the middle raised his left hand and closed it into a fist, signaling for the others to stop. "...Perhaps Father used some ability to accelerate our journey without informing us. Clearly, this operation is extremely important to him."

"What kind of ability could shorten the travel time across a hundred Sectors to this extent?!"

"...."

"...Let’s go!" The young man refused to entertain any further questions about the matter, then raised a ring engraved with a star map that clearly indicated Donara’s location.

He drew a spear with his other hand and gripped it firmly, his eyes blazing with killing intent and readiness for the battle ahead... Helmor’s Soldiers had already made their move and displayed their power before the entire world. Finally, after all that, it was his turn!

Bzz

At that exact moment, the bracelet around his wrist suddenly vibrated, and a series of fluctuations reached him before immediately being translated into a clear voice. He heard:

Then the voice fell silent, leaving nothing else behind.

"Huh?!" The young man stared down at the bracelet in obvious astonishment, unable to immediately accept what he had just heard. "The orders were canceled? Since when does Father cancel an order once it has already left his mouth?"

"Canceled?"

"Is that even possible?"

Antares’s children grew even more tense after hearing the order, exchanging uncertain looks among themselves. This sudden decision to return was somehow even stranger and more shocking to them than the original decision to directly attack Donara in the first place.

"Did something new happen?" The young man in the middle muttered with tightly furrowed brows, then turned toward the people still kneeling and trembling around him. "Hey, enough trembling. We don’t intend to eat you, so one of you stand up and quickly tell me if anything happened during the past few minutes!"

"....." Trembling violently, with a powerful shudder gripping his entire body from head to toe and refusing to subside, the person closest to the gate slowly raised his hand into the air.

Then Poof, he collapsed unconscious onto the ground before he could even manage to raise his head and look at them.

"....?!" Antares’s children instinctively looked upward, and their eyes immediately widened as they finally began paying attention to their surroundings.

The sky was changing continuously above them, while the entire map of the stars shifted and rearranged itself at an astonishing speed, as though they were watching the past and present flash by before their eyes in the span of a single blink.

And besides all that, strange and powerful energy winds were battering the planet in a completely unnatural manner, sweeping across its surface from different directions, and there was even... a rain of incredibly fine cosmic dust descending from above?

"What is happening here?" The eldest son among those present shouted as he looked back down toward the people kneeling around them. "What exactly happened?!"

Poof Another one of the kneeling people beside him suddenly collapsed onto the ground without answering.

At that moment, the eldest son’s eyes opened to their limits as a realization finally struck him... He understood now. Those people collapsing and all that violent trembling weren’t because of their presence at all. They hadn’t fallen into this state simply because nearly two hundred Dominators had suddenly appeared before them; these people were terrified of something else entirely.

They were afraid of whatever had caused all those strange phenomena occurring around them.

"What the—" The eldest son took a quick step forward and nearly reached out to grab one of the kneeling people by the neck, intending to force an explanation out of him so he could understand what had happened.

But Baf, one of his sisters suddenly grabbed him firmly by the elbow before he could do so. "Let’s return to the galaxy... please."

"..."

The eldest son glared downward angrily for a few moments, clearly dissatisfied with leaving without understanding anything, then shook his arm free from his sister’s grip and turned back toward the gate. "Let’s go!!"

Sector 1—Tyrant Galaxy

<You’re bringing them back to the galaxy? Did you send someone to kill Robin Burton? Why are you ordering them to return to the galaxy?! This is the best opportunity to kill him while he’s this exhausted!>

Helmor’s voice thundered loudly in Antares’s ear, carrying obvious agitation as he questioned the sudden decision.

"Exhausted?" Intares raised his nose slightly in obvious disgust and anger, then extended one hand toward the paused broadcast before him and rewound the scene a little until he brought up the image of Robin standing there and declaring himself the strongest person in the universe. "Does that look exhausted to you?!"

Robin’s skin was flushed red, but it was the kind of redness one might see on someone who had been running for a few minutes, whose body had merely warmed up from the exertion and become even more eager to continue.

There wasn’t the slightest visible sign of lethargy or pallor on him, nor was there any weakness or brokenness in his eyes while he spoke.

<He’s obviously acting. How could he possibly expend that enormous amount of Transcendent momentum and remain unaffected?!> Helmor raised his voice even further. <Didn’t he fool the entire universe into believing that he didn’t know he was being recorded? It’s impossible for someone who possesses this kind of momentum not to notice that ridiculous soul broadcast, even if the whole thing wasn’t orchestrated by him in the first place. That rat is no less cunning than Qarun!>

"The mere fact that he can act this convincingly after everything he just did means he hasn’t exhausted all of his momentum yet." Intares stared at Robin’s face on the broadcast with unconcealed hatred, carefully studying his appearance. "If my children attack him now, the only result will be all of them getting killed."

<And that would still be enough to weaken him further. With a little investment and willingness to pay the necessary price, you could bring Robin Burton down by yourself today!>

"Send your own children if you’re so eager to weaken him, or better yet, go yourself!!" Intares waved his hand forcefully, his irritation becoming even more obvious. "I’m not going to lose an arm and a leg and lower myself until I end up with the same modest standing you currently possess within the universe just because you encouraged me a little!"

<.....>

"Hmph." Intares swept his long black robe aside with a broad movement and settled back into his throne, his large figure once again filling the seat as he looked ahead. "A new era is about to begin, an era in which long-term plans will be set aside and the final outcomes will instead be decided based on who possesses the greater amount of momentum."

Then he raised his head slightly, his expression remaining cold as he continued, "The Seer isn’t the only Transcendent who possesses momentum and can bestow it upon others. If the Seer wants to play in such a crude, heavy-handed manner and turn this into a contest of raw momentum, then he had better be prepared for the consequences."
