Arc 250The Source-Devouring War
Saine coordinated Clear River Time-Space’s defense, captured the Spirit-Seizing Ancient Emperor, and developed Anti-Source-Devouring Nodes that helped the allied forces reclaim territory. Locke’s arrival drove back the Rift-Splitting Emperor Monarch, but the Source-Devouring Progenitor renewed the assault and clashed with Locke as another Emperor Monarch’s channel neared completion.
- Saine captured the Spirit-Seizing Ancient Emperor with Vegeta’s help and studied his consciousness and rule frequencies to trace Source-Devouring Time-Space.
- The Mechanical Civilization secured broader cooperation from Clear River Time-Space’s civilizations, while Locke sent Vegeta and elite legions to reinforce the front.
- Saelot and Envoy Jimin led their legions in attacks on Source-Devouring Nodes and Channels, and Saine used the resulting data to develop the Anti-Source-Devouring Model.
- Saine’s allies deployed Anti-Source-Devouring Nodes across damaged star domains, severing source-devouring pathways and enabling a major advance.
- The Rift-Splitting Emperor Monarch opened a channel into Clear River Time-Space, and Locke crossed over and badly wounded him with the God Slaying Spear.
- The Rift-Splitting Emperor Monarch fled after Locke destroyed his channel, prompting the Source-Devouring forces to retreat until the Source-Devouring Progenitor reversed their withdrawal.
- Locke entered the Progenitor’s Source-Devouring Vortex and tore it open, but their first clash ended without a decisive victory as Saine detected another Emperor Monarch’s channel nearing completion.
