The second half of the night.
"Look!"
When Superbody Star came into view again, Reilo and the Dimensional Swordsman witnessed a shocking sight.
Superbody Star had originally emitted only a faint reddish glow. But now, a patch of bright red had suddenly appeared at the center of its vast, level surface, occupying roughly one-twentieth of the side visible to them. It seemed to be constantly spreading outward.
That patch of bright red was like a jarring splash of color adorning this lifeless black-and-white celestial body, resembling an omen of the apocalypse.
There was no doubt about it.
This was the damage inflicted on Superbody Star after Thunder Continent launched Gamma Arc against it.
"Star Curtain World was actually the first to launch an attack."
This had been far beyond Reilo's expectations.
The next day.
Storm Continent's oath-taking assembly.
The Ancient Hundred Clans followed Mandala Flower's will, and everyone had to participate. Among the Ancient Hundred Clans were standard Ancient Creatures such as dragons, which had continued their lineage and evolved from generation to generation, as well as early civilizations like the ancient Elves, who had mastered advanced science and technology.
They were all excited and arrogant, vowing to destroy every enemy blocking their path.
"Do you recognize those few races?"
The Dimensional Swordsman asked Reilo.
"I don't."
Reilo slowly shook his head. Judging from the differences in their scientific and technological development, the number of Level Four and higher lifeforms gathered here was something the Storm Continent Council of later generations could never hope to match.
The oath-taking assembly continued for an entire day.
Nearly every leader of the Hundred Clans met with Mandala Flower privately. From this, it was clear that the Hundred Clans under Mandala Flower's control on Storm Continent were actually a very loosely organized group.
