Supergod: Myriad Worlds Drifting Bottle

The statue placed within was a tall figure in armor, its face buried in shadow and impossible to see. Yet its hand had only three fingers, gripping a weapon, while countless weapons were displayed behind it.

Han Fei had the Extreme Warriors follow him inside.

It was obvious that his people had already explored part of this place. Many locations with obvious mechanisms had been uncovered.

They took an elevator straight down for roughly five or six levels before it stopped.

The elevator doors opened, and dim light fell across the walls.

Revealing the space within.

Before their eyes—

An oval, streamlined spacecraft several hundred meters long stood there. There were no plants or dust around it, and everything remained spotless.

As though someone had been cleaning it all along.

"Would you like to meet that king?"

Han Fei waved a hand.

"No need."

"Begin."

Following Han Fei's order, teams of professionals began mining with their equipment.

At the very front, a man wearing a silver-white crown was being escorted forward.

Han Fei did not move ahead, while Hexi chose to step forward and had already begun her analysis.

A projection appeared before them.

A series of complex data rapidly scrolled across it.

Soon, a faint sound came from the front.

The silver-white doors below opened.

Revealing a pale, chilling mist.

Everyone quickly turned on their air respirators.

Several experts also began collecting gas samples.

Yet they did not stop moving. Some small automated probes were controlled into the interior.

Everyone performed their respective duties.

About three hours passed.

Then someone ran out to report to Han Fei.

"Report! The interior has been fully surveyed. Secretary He is currently conducting a more detailed investigation."

Han Fei nodded and stepped into the spacecraft.

Silver-white sci-fi walls and all kinds of mechanical-looking equipment.

Following the soldier leading the way, Han Fei passed through one area after another.

Along the way, he saw a production line filled with the same kind of robots they had encountered before.

There were also many weapon manufacturing stations there.

However, most of them were empty, and no one knew where their contents had gone.

Before long, Han Fei arrived at the control room.

The space here was not large. Several screens stood at the front, along with a few seats.

And machines placed nearby.

It looked quite empty.

Hexi was studying something here.

She nodded slightly, then looked up and saw Han Fei arrive.

"This spacecraft has no checkpoints set up at all. In other words, it was openly left here waiting for someone to come."

Hexi's words made Han Fei's expression change slightly.

"What are the specifics?"

"I found a video left behind by this person. Look."

Han Fei had no idea what Hexi did, but after a silver-white sphere on the console spun around a few times, a figure was projected onto the wall.

That towering figure was precisely the "god" who had descended.

"Greetings, outsider."

He spoke.

His voice was dry and bitter, carrying an air of hardship.

"I am the highest-ranking officer of the God River Civilization stationed in the Long River Galaxy, a second-generation Super Soldier, codename: Master Soldier."

"Jias."

"Of course, you may also call me the Kingdom Machine God. Perhaps that title has spread more widely. Or perhaps, by your era, even my legends no longer remain. Heh heh."

God River Civilization.

Second-generation Super Soldier.

Master Soldier.

The words spoken by this man named Jias shook Han Fei again and again.

None of this had appeared in the original work.

Yet logically, it made sense.

According to the setting, God River Civilization had been consumed by Ultimate Fear, but not every God River person had died.

And it was impossible for everyone to have appeared in the original work.

So it did make sense.

Jias continued speaking. Clearly, this was merely a recorded projection.

"Whoever you are, whether you come from the feudal civilization I left behind, an outside spacefaring civilization, or one of those civilizations that call themselves post-God River, if you have entered this place, then you are surely a living being of the universe. I will tell you a secret, and I hope you will be prepared after hearing it. What I have left here may also serve as an inheritance to aid you."

Having said that, he set down the great halberd in his hand.

"First, I must speak of the disaster known as Ultimate Fear."

"What kind of disaster it is, I cannot truly explain. Perhaps only Master Dingge and Scholar Giran knew."

"But without question, it was a disaster—a disaster that destroyed civilizations."

"My homeland, God River, was destroyed by Ultimate Fear."

"That day, boundless darkness descended. Forgive me, I was only a child then. All I saw was endless darkness, followed by stars collapsing and energy vanishing. We were forced to flee. During that escape, our Super Soldier technology became increasingly mature. Later, I became a Super Soldier, but it was of no use."

His voice seemed to grow pained.

"We tried to rebuild our civilization, but that fear continued to follow us. We wished to call for aid, but in the universe at that time, no civilization could resist it. Because God River was then the strongest and most advanced civilization.

"By the time I was old enough to learn certain things, God River Civilization could no longer hold on. A massive explosion swept through the entire God River Giant Galaxy. Everything was too late.

"God River Civilization vanished completely.

"At the time, only a few of us Super Soldiers remained, barely clinging to life. Master Dingge perished alongside it. Scholar Giran disappeared. We could no longer contact the other Super Seminaries. I believed there had to be other survivors. Perhaps we could rebuild God River.

"But.

"After that, we were attacked.

"They all died. Only I remained.

"However, heh heh, though I was gravely wounded, I was fortunate enough to learn some secrets. The essence of Ultimate Fear may be something called the Void, harvesting the highest civilizations of the known universe."

At this point, the pain had vanished from his voice. He sounded lifeless, as though merely recounting something.

"The thing that attacked us was a purple figure. I did not see its appearance clearly. It was only a huge mouth, swallowing my companions. Its sharp limbs slashed me, leaving me grievously wounded. The wounds could not heal and continuously devoured my life, leaving me only to await death."

"And when it appeared, the sound it made—I did not hear wrongly—was the words 'Void.'"

"And that fleeting glimpse of it... the terror I felt was impossible to suppress. Perhaps I understand why it is called Ultimate Fear..."

His words gradually became incoherent, and he seemed no longer lucid.

"Everything is over. I came here and tried to recover from my wounds, tried to grant intelligence to the people here, but it was all in vain. In the end, I left behind this secret, hoping that the civilization receiving my message will..."

"Be careful. Be careful. Be even more careful."

He lay there listlessly, looking utterly drained. The enormous gashes across his body began to emit black mist, which spread over his entire body.

"This spaceship was my escape vessel when I fled. It contains a complete set of information, from feudal civilizations to intermediate spacefaring civilizations. But do not accept it all wholesale. Otherwise, you will only become the next God River."

"Also, one of God River's most glorious technologies remains here: Super Gene creation technology. Mm, first- and second-generation versions, both are the most basic editions. There are no models to speak of. As for models and such, research them yourselves."

"And my Super Gene is here as well, as a final keepsake. I hope that those descendants who inherit my genes will be able to find the Void..."

His voice grew softer and softer.

The black mist around him grew thicker and thicker.

At last, it covered his entire body and consumed him completely.

He dissipated into the air, leaving nothing behind.

Master Soldier—Jias.

Dead!

"..."

"..."

Silence.

Han Fei's brows furrowed deeply.

Hexi beside him wore an equally grim expression.

He knew of Ultimate Fear, and he knew of the Void, but this was the first time he had heard such a detailed description. Not even a match for them in a single exchange... perhaps only gods had the power to resist?

Han Fei thought so.

He also thought of everything Carl would do before long.

Ushering in the era of the Void.

Wasn't that simply courting death?

Hunting top-tier civilizations.

Harvesting them on a schedule.

Did she think of them as crops?

Perhaps even gods would be no match for them.

Then he looked at himself now.

Slack.

Far too slack!!

Han Fei clenched his fists, his face expressionless.

An immense pressure swept through his body. It felt somewhat like when he had first learned that this was the Godly Superpower Universe—oppressive, yet filled with the drive to struggle onward.

Hexi, meanwhile, felt nothing but pressure.

If the recording was true, then that Void was likely the enemy of the entire universe.

And just then, a wave of disgust toward Ultimate Fear surged up in her mind.
