The Side Quest "The Black Sun Rising" has met the settlement conditions.

[Reward Settlement]: A. "Fight with One's Back to the River" - The Red Squad, led by Xiajian Jing, has launched an attack on Shiratori Town Prison. You must prevent four Gamma-rank from intervening in the suppression in the short term; Xiajian Jing and Gretvor have left the Sky Ring (meeting the settlement conditions). Reward Skill [Savage Trample]: You can perform a stomp on a target with less than 10% health. If the execution is successful, it will cause surrounding targets to be affected by the 'Shock' effect (sense and movement speed reduced by 90%, ignoring super armor effects) for 3 seconds; B. "To the New World" - Use any means necessary to shock the Heavenly Ring People and make them realize who their enemy is.

Current progress: 97% (World-shaking) Reward: Receive a random Omega-class Aoneng.

[Rewards being distributed...]

[You have obtained Omega-class Aoneng - Sequence 77: [Calamity]]

[Calamity·Perception]: Omega-class (Omega, the ultimate Greek letter) Aoneng, providing dual benefits to [Willpower] and [Charisma].

"You are a calamity of the universe, a cursed nightmare, the origin of all tragedy. Because of your existence, the world has more tragedy and suffering."

"Statistics and probability have become metaphysics in your hands, and even exhaustive search seems unable to break your evil crown."

"Good fortune may not favor you, but at least you can bring disaster to everyone equally."

— [Source Abyss Celestial Lord] Sorao.

Aoneng's performance:

Active activation—consumes your Aura Value to guide something toward a disastrous and tragic fate. You cannot control the type of disaster, but you can influence and interfere with its occurrence through thought.

Passive state – You can always foresee any catastrophic event in advance through various means; "I did not bring the disaster, I am the disaster."

[Range]: Everything within the visible range.

Current development level: Perception level; the Aura Value consumption rate at this development level is -110%.

There's an additional Sequence Aura, [Calamity]. Li Aoz has never possessed this Aoneng before, so he doesn't know if it's good or bad.

However, no matter what, it's at least not Sequence Eighty-Two - [Bloodline]. The strength of that Aoneng can only be described as mediocre, but there's nothing particularly praiseworthy about it.

"Let's use it for now; it's better than non-sequence Aoneng."

Li Aoz's body was encased in azure armor, and he used Gravity Field to drag and propel the Biochemical Pool, accelerating it into the depths of space. He skillfully traversed the satellite constellation of the Azure Planet, the Space Junk, and the asteroid belt.

He was certain that there must be a fleet of ships from the Fiennes Federation nearby, closely monitoring the Azure Planet teeming with Malefic Calamity. Any target that flew out could potentially carry the seed of Entropy Lord.

Li Aoz didn't want to be questioned by the Fiennes Federation and go through complicated procedures. He knew how troublesome the bureaucracy of this civilization was. He used the North Star to determine his direction and, without saying a word, flew directly towards the nearest star system.

The players were less fortunate. They had wanted to return to their hometown, but they were all forced into hibernation by the Biochemical Pool and were unable to operate until they reached the next destination.

Since there was nothing else to do, the players simply logged off, went out for a stroll, or had breakfast.

In the end, none of these people noticed that there seemed to be an extra person on the ship.

Li Aoz didn't have any particular thoughts about Ya Wen joining him halfway through. He now needed to be Highly Tense to operate while flying in space. If he was not careful, he would be like a comet, suddenly flashing by and then disappearing forever.

This armor... [Lioz's Armor] possesses incredibly fantastical abilities. According to the skill description, it not only integrates the space flight ability of [Pegasus Force], but the outer armor also has the ability to resist radiation and vacuum, allowing Li Aoz to continuously survive and work in space.

Of course, its activation conditions are also very demanding. Li Aoz must activate [Overlord Mode] and activate at least 11 Aoneng, and the level of each Aoneng cannot be lower than Kappa-class.

At the same time, the destructive power of [Morphedria's Sever-Sky Sword] only requires six random Aoneng and has no level requirement.

To protect the Biochemical Pool, Li Aoz created a "Death Link" between himself and the Biochemical Pool. If a meteorite were to strike the pool, the damage would be transferred to him, allowing him to slowly repair himself.

The space environment is almost a vacuum, so as long as a force is applied in one direction, an object will continuously accelerate. A stone thrown out casually can be just as destructive as a bullet.

Li Aoz's greatest advantage lies in his flight, which relies on Gravitational Acceleration, making him essentially a constantly moving planet in space. Combined with the passive effect of [Pegasus Force], which removes his mass, Li Aoz could theoretically accelerate continuously in space until he becomes as fast as light.

Li Aoz's original plan was to use the gravity of stars in the star system where several Azure Planet are located to gain double the speed at once in the form of a gravity slingshot. However, due to the limitations of his own physical strength, he could only accelerate to one-seventh of the speed of light.

However, the appearance of the [Lioz's Armor] brought him a surprise. The powerful cosmic adaptability provided by this skill can directly accelerate him to 90% of the speed of light. Although it is not as good as the stargates and wormhole nodes commonly used in the universe, it is a huge upgrade for Li Aoz.

Therefore, Li Aoz decided to try a different approach.

His initial goal was to reach a planetary civilization under the twelfth narrative, the Temple of Annihilation. As Narrative-level with a strong religious atmosphere, the Temple of Annihilation's priests and incense burners were spread throughout every civilization to strengthen their faith and consolidate their rule.

The first layer of the Star Abyss, known as the 'Layer Abyss,' contains only three Narrative-level Civilization, none of whom are easy to deal with.

Narrative No. 11: The United Company

This is a typical global conglomerate, where the corporate group has replaced the administrative departments. They worship the former chief god of the [Plunder] lineage, ' Red King ', and have mastered the path of the [Plunderer]. Although they are the weakest of the three in terms of strength, they wield considerable influence.

As a permanently neutral Narrative-level, the "United Company" can freely traverse any battlefield and sensitive star system. They only recognize the cosmic currency "Ammonium Gold." With enough money, anything is negotiable. However, that place is not very suitable for living; even the air they breathe has to be sold separately.

Narrative number 12, "Temple of Annihilation of Annihilation"

In comparison, the Temple of Annihilation is a very conservative Narrative-level Civilization. They are very enthusiastic about religious affairs and firmly believe in the idea that "all things have spirits." Through the study of theology, they have also achieved the most prominent position in the Void, which has naturally led to their incredibly powerful pantheon.

The "Temple of Annihilation" can use Spirit Maggot and Void Energy to mass-produce gods and plant them on disputed planets. Once the gods awaken, they are immediately recruited into the Pantheon. In this way, they gained the largest territory in the entire Abyss.

Narrative No. 13: "Lords Heroes Empire"

Unlike the two long-established Narrative-level mentioned above, the "Heroes Empire" are young and ambitious. They were formed by the emergence of a Philosopher King who united a group of nebula-level and star cluster-level civilizations, creating an incredibly vast affiliated empire. Through the charismatic personality of this emperor, they achieved a Narrative-level feat.
