Pale Void spread out beyond the bow.
There was no light source.
No shadows.
No distance.
There was not even such a concept as "ahead."
The Micro Jump Ship hovered outside the True God's bodily Barrier, like a speck of dust drifting from a giant beast's wound, quietly suspended in a blankness that could not be named, defined, or completely recorded by any perception system.
The hull did not tremble.
The shields did not sound any alarms.
The Engine had not shut down.
Yet everyone knew this was not safety.
It was because the Pale Void outside could not even be bothered to acknowledge that they were under threat.

She dared to treat the Chaos Giant Beast as takeout.
She dared to slam the table in front of Yang Yu, and curse the Observers as geometric garbage in the Zero-Point Dimension.

But there was nothing.
"I can't sense anything at all."
The words fell, and the cabin grew even quieter.
More direct than any alarm.
Little White was the Abyss Mother Goddess.
She could smell the stench of a rotting Divine Kingdom from countless planes away, lock onto the remnants of an enemy's soul through a Law Storm, and even distinguish which piece of flesh inside
