An invisible force was spreading.
A powerful pressure was steadily drawing closer.
Though the other party had yet to be observed, in that unknown distance ahead,
the fluctuations of time and space had already become utterly chaotic.
According to the readings of various specialized devices, within those regions, enormous Spacetime Aggregates formed from the convergence of universes—even countless universes—were being destroyed every moment, as easily as grains of sand crushed beneath a vehicle's wheels.
They could not even offer the slightest obstruction to the other party.

Even those massive cosmic warships and super mecha were inevitably affected, dragged away by that force powerful enough to tear apart the Milky Way.

Liu Longma, who had long since entered the body of Gai-Emperor, merely willed it and used a negligible sliver of power.
The ability to Modify Causality immediately took effect.
Like a supreme sacred principle smoothing over all things, it instantly calmed every disturbance in the surrounding area.

"The troops that have not yet arrived here will likely be unable to
