It was dark...
At that moment, all the indigenous residents in the New Realm witnessed an incredibly strange sight. It was clearly nighttime, and the starlight and moonlight provided the world with only a faint glimmer, yet everyone could still see something darker than the night sky spreading across the entire heavens.
It was not thunderclouds brought on by a sudden change in the weather, but something nearly ink-like. It slowly seeped outward from a single point, gradually eroding the sparse starlight and moonlight. The liquid-like black water made the entire sky look incredibly dense, as though a black Milky Way were about to pour down from above. The sight was spectacular.
It also gave people an intense sense of déjà vu, as if the apocalypse had arrived!
"What... is that?"
Watching the strange phenomenon in the sky, Dog Bro and the other two were utterly stunned in the distance. A strong sense of unease spread through their hearts. Dog Bro, in particular, felt a fear embedded in his ancient genes spreading throughout his body. Every cell was telling him that something had arrived—and that it was terrifyingly dangerous!
"Whimper..."
Frightened, Sunny curled deeper into the palm supporting her, like a kitten that had been frozen stiff. Before the only source of warmth that gave her even a little sense of safety, she shrank into a ball.
Dog Bro immediately reacted. Seeing Sunny like this, his heart filled with pity. He gently cupped his hand, enveloping Sunny in his thick palm, and softly said, "It's all right. I'm here. Don't be afraid..."
Sunny shuddered all over, then cautiously raised her head to look at the giant's gentle eyes. She did not understand why this big fellow was comforting her, but a hint of reassurance welled up in her heart.
