Truth Society Terrified

The vast majority of the Truth Society's influence lay within government institutions and the business world.

Most of them were social elites, vigorously advancing colonial development.

All civilian colonization companies were led by them, extending human civilization outward.

They believed they knew many truths, yet in reality, they remained profoundly ignorant.

Beyond the Solar System, in nearly every direction, there were alien-world development and construction ships led by the Truth Society.

They were preparing to establish colonial forward bases on extrasolar planets.

At that moment, they were maintaining sublight travel, while the members aboard fiercely debated the anomaly they had just witnessed.

"Seven percent of the ship's external armor was damaged. What was that just now? Interstellar airflow?"

"No. According to our scans, the interstellar space within six light-years is filled with a complex atmospheric environment—perhaps extending even farther!"

"How could something this bizarre appear out of nowhere and then suddenly vanish... Is that scientific?"

"That was the least scientific thing I have ever seen. Such an enormous mass of air appeared in the universe, and the atmospheric pressure it instantly generated should have been enough to crush our ship. Yet it did not. It seemed to be restrained by some mysterious force. Furthermore, I detected that the stars underwent violent expansion in the first few seconds due to the massive quantities of oxygen and hydrogen, but that phenomenon also stopped afterward. Clearly, this was an event under deliberate control."

"So... was it a god? Had we merely traveled this far from Earth and already angered some indescribable cosmic evil, which was warning us?"

The Truth Society debated fiercely. Although the colonial era had begun, the first batch of Colonial Planets had all been within the Solar System. Only recently had they begun exploring beyond it.
