Chapter 3412: The Aftershock

"Bang!"
Almost simultaneously, the center of the void vortex emitted a very dull thud.
The outer layer of the void vortex suddenly stopped expanding. Void energy surged wildly, and the surrounding galaxy space affected by it was swallowed toward the void interior at an even faster rate. The entire vortex unexpectedly collapsed inward, rapidly shrinking!
Countless worm bodies were sucked into the void vortex, continuously breaking apart with "puff puff" sounds.
"Run!"
Brutus shouted loudly, forcibly condensing his remaining scarce mental strength and barely forming an imprint in front of him.
Faint spatial ripples appeared around Brutus’s body, quickly forming a protective shield that enveloped him and the Void Clan members behind him, then swiftly disappeared into the galaxy.
Fang Heng raised his head and swept his gaze over the rapidly disappearing Void Clan group opposite him, his brow involuntarily furrowing.
Was that shout from Brutus meant for himself?
Indeed.
The situation with the void vortex was very wrong!
Retreat first!
"Whoosh!"
Fang Heng immediately stopped releasing the Everlasting Moon skill, turned, and transformed into a streak of light fleeing backward.
A few seconds later.
At the center of the collapsed void vortex, a round hole less than one millimeter in diameter formed. It finally could no longer withstand the berserk internal power, and the terrifying absorption power inside the void dot exploded in an instant with a "boom"!
There was no loud noise.
No flames.
There was only an extreme white light spreading wildly in all directions.
Where the white light passed, huge debris, spatial turbulence, and even the light itself in the galaxy instantly decomposed and vaporized.
Everything completely returned to nothingness.
...
Endless Domain.
Inside the large barrier created by the Void Clan.
The alien squad assembled by Pena had still been searching for void crystals when everyone suddenly sensed something. They all turned their heads toward the starry sea ahead.
They saw Xia Xi wrapped in a mass of dark mist, flying rapidly toward their position.
Huh?
What did that mean?
Weren’t there three people when they left? Only one returned?
Did the other two die?
Heh...
Recklessly running deep into the Void’s end, they must have suffered now.
The aliens were thinking this when they heard Zane shout from Xia Xi’s body, "Run!"
Huh?!
The next second, the aliens’ expressions changed slightly.
Behind Zane and another person, a pure white light suddenly burst forth!
Within the light surged a chilling power ripple, rapidly spreading toward them!
The aliens immediately felt a numbness in their scalp.
Run?
Are you kidding?
Are you sure you can outrun the terrifying speed of that white light?
"Come to me!"
An alien shouted.
The others immediately reacted, quickly gathering around that alien, then spread layer upon layer of defensive nets around them.
No single one of them could block a shockwave of that strength alone!
Only by working together was there a chance to survive!
"Whoosh!"
Xia Xi swiftly entered the defensive barrier formed by the gathered aliens.
Zane quickly spread a dark mist barrier on the innermost side, then attached himself to Xia Xi’s body, while Xia Xi’s surface rapidly split into armor-like scales, tightly wrapping her core at the center.
An alien shouted, "Zane! What the hell is that? What did you mess with?!"
"Don’t know!"
A Greyrock Clan member curled up his body and cursed loudly, "D*mn!"
"Shut up! If you want to live, endure it!"
While speaking, small worm bodies crawled out from Xia Xi’s body, rapidly expanding and enveloping everyone in a physical defense round ball formed by the writhing bodies.
With danger imminent, all aliens played their trump cards, piling defensive shields layer upon layer.
"Boom—"
Two seconds later, the white light followed closely.
"Bang! Bang bang bang bang!!!"
The dense outer defensive shields surrounding the group were shattered one after another in an instant.
They had lasted for half a second.
The white light finally swept past them.
The external magical barriers they collectively laid were all destroyed.
"Ka, ka ka ka..."
Cracks like spiderwebs appeared on the surface of the worm body physical barrier that Xia Xi constructed, then shattered with a bang.
The aliens emerged from the protection layer.
The situation was still okay.
The dozens of magical barriers laid on the outside and Xia Xi’s worm body outer barrier absorbed the majority of the explosion aftershock’s impact.
For the aliens present, their strongest ability was actually their physical defense.
It had yet to be fully tested.
Only their psychic force was completely exhausted.
Overall, it was a close call but just a false alarm.
Zane detached from Xia Xi’s body, quickly recovered his human form from the black fog state, and looked back with some lingering fear.
Fortunately, they ran fast.
D*mn, they almost died again because of themselves.
From afar, at the explosion center, even the central black vortex at the End of the Void had a large area dissolved by the white ripple, violently torn open a huge gap.
Within the few seconds Zane observed, the outer layer of the black vortex reformed.
An alien looked toward the End of the Void with Zane and asked, "Hey, you two, what did you do?"
Zane sneered and said, "Bad luck, we ran into the Void Clan, fought with them, and then it exploded."
"Exploded?"
The aliens’ expressions changed slightly, and their looks toward Zane suddenly became unusual.
So the white aftershock just now was caused by Zane?
Although they didn’t understand fully, they all secretly felt Zane was not someone to be messed with.
Suddenly, a Greyrock Clan member’s face lit up with joy as he shouted, "Look over there!"
The aliens looked in the direction the Greyrock Clan pointed, and all showed excitement.
Due to the white aftershock’s energy wash, the huge floating rocks in the galaxy were instantly annihilated and crushed.
At this moment, the remaining scattered stones floating in space were fragments containing void energy!
"Go!"
Everyone stopped hesitating and immediately scattered to gather the stones.
...
Main control room of the Silent Shadow ship.
A piercing alarm sounded.
"Alert! Detected ultra-high intensity spatial tremors! Spatial energy level exceeded upper limit!"
"The ship’s outer shield energy is rapidly dropping! 80%... 60%... 40%!"
Captain Erko gripped the control station’s handrail with one hand, eyes fixed on the numbers displayed on the screen.
"Boom!!!"
The entire ship shook violently under the impact of the white aftershock!
The ripple lasted for half a second before the ship gradually stabilized.
Erko said in a deep voice, "Report ship status!"
"Yes! Reporting, Captain. The ship’s defensive barrier energy has been completely depleted. Ship damage has reached 57%. Currently inoperable. Repair progress is being assessed..."
"Boom!!"
Captain Erko slammed heavily on the main control platform, then turned to Pena standing by the large porthole and shouted, "Pena! Is this the help you brought? You almost got us all killed!"
