The overstrained rune arrays, divine power nodes, and monitoring celestial bodies went dark one after another under the erosion of the Dark Power. A shadow that seemed almost tangible spread from the depths of the universe, devouring the faintly glowing nodes in space one by one.
Before being destroyed, the devoured nodes sent out their preset warning signals. Once those signals were broadcast throughout the universe, a series of countermeasures began operating at once.
A vast drone legion began gathering in grand fashion toward the Center of the Universe. The drone nests and factories that had been running at full power for a long time also set their production assembly points at tens of millions of preset coordinates around the Abyss cage. Meanwhile, the Guardian Legion, which had spent the past few months recuperating and restoring its combat strength, left the X Sector and arrived at coordinates near the prison in batches.
At the coordinates of both the drone legion and the Guardian Legion, countless floating turrets, armed satellite clusters, defensive barriers, and other space fortresses equipped for combat had already been deployed.
