The Rift Burst Open and a Beast Tide Surged Out, Spelling Disaster for the Seventh Star Domain

The edges of the purplish-red rift kept curling outward.

The shriek of space tearing drowned out the hum of the main cannons charging.

Warnings flashed red across Season Star's main control panel.

"Spatial tension is thirty thousand times over the limit!" Season Star's fingers flew across the virtual keyboard. "That opening's about to swallow the entire shipping lane!"

Qin Chuan stared at the rift.

With the Suppression Altar taken away, whatever lay beneath it could no longer be contained.

Barbs covered its gray-black shell, and dozens of tentacles thrashed wildly.

A ring of blinding sparks erupted across the shield, and its durability dropped thirty percent in an instant.

"What the hell? It can teleport?" Duo Long jolted. "Adjust the firing grid coordinates, quick!"

Season Star moved even faster.
