They hadn't had time to deal with it during the battle. Leviathan Beasts were never weaklings; provoking one meant serious trouble. The Resurrected were already fighting the Greenskins and certainly didn't want to provoke an Aether Dragon as well. So when they saw that the colossal beast was merely "watching," they had let it be. But now, they knew they had become its prey.
Vast energy gathered—the power of an entire star. Even the Aether Dragon was unwilling to face it head-on. It lightly traced a line through space, shifting from one side of the Titan Ship to the other. The Resurrected, who were charging their ship cannons, awkwardly realized their efforts had been wasted. They could only stop charging and recalculate their aim.
But by then, it was too late. The colossal divine beast roared and spat out a stream of dragonfire. Scorching lightning tore through spacetime and struck a point on the Warp Bubble. The bubble, formed by the gravity distortion of the entire Titan Ship, was swiftly pierced and collapsed.
The Warp Bubble was no Star Shield, and it quickly crumbled under the lightning's force. The violent distortion of spacetime erupted, releasing energy both into deep space and inward.
Sensing the danger, the Aether Dragon lightly swished its tail. Spacetime around it folded of its own accord. The next moment, the colossal beast shot away like an arrow loosed from a bow, crossing tens of thousands of light-years in an instant and escaping the danger zone.
The culprit easily fled, but the Resurrected starship had nowhere to retreat. The violent spacetime tides rapidly crushed inward, tearing fissures through the sturdy Titan hull. The strong alloy was pulverized by the energy tides, reduced to fine metal dust.
In almost an instant, the entire Titan Ship's outer shell was
