In the void, the Obsidian Empire's Garrison Fleet, which had been engaged in fierce combat, had now fallen completely silent.
It was not that they had defeated the enemy, but rather—
There was no longer a single living person left in the entire fleet. All that remained were shriveled corpses, drained of every last trace of life.
The scene was utterly horrifying.
"Grios, did that satisfy your appetite?"
"Mm, not bad. The lifeforms in this dimension may all be weak, but I have to admit, they taste quite good—practically exquisite. What a shame there's no more!"
Hearing Rolte's voice through their psychic link, Grios said with lingering dissatisfaction. His enormous eye, hundreds of times larger than a star, even showed a trace of enjoyment.
"Don't be disappointed. Haven't you noticed? More food is already closing in!"
Upon hearing this, Grios sensed the surroundings as well and immediately became excited.
The Obsidian Empire had not activated a Black Hole Channel to send its main fleet directly as reinforcements. After all, Dark Energy Crystals were extremely precious now, and any that could be saved should be saved.
However, they had still dispatched all nearby fleets to provide support. In their view, that was already more than enough.
They were merely some unknown cosmic creatures. This was, after all, the Empire's most important trade hub, with tens of billions of warships stationed here. Sending out half the fleet should have been more than enough to resolve the crisis.
However, the Obsidian Empire's upper ranks failed to realize that their arrogance would soon turn this reinforcement operation into a massive feeding ground.
