Three days later, a Purple Grade Abyss Tide targeted Outpost No. 4; Nan Liujing defended it, but an Abyss foe attacked him and the outpost’s Spatial Tunnel vanished, leaving him to suspect the assault was aimed at him.

• A Communications Soldier reported that the Spatial Tunnels at the other five outposts still worked, easing the troops’ panic while Station Chief No. 4 remained grave.

After the Plague Emperor sealed the Spatial Tunnels and demanded that Nan Liujing be handed over, the people at the outpost chose to stand together and fight. Nan Liujing absorbed Abyss Energy as the battle escalated, but the Plague Emperor descended in his true body and threatened the outpost’s failing shields.

After the Emperor’s soul attacked Nan Liujing, a Silver Dragon claw emerged from a spatial rift and obliterated it, and a Spatial Tunnel then appeared in the outpost.

• Station Chief No. 4 and nine instructors prepared to self-destruct to kill the Plague Emperor, but Nan Liujing asked to try another method first.
