Ace and Zoro were too excited to speak.
But Lin Ye was clearly unstable, his figure flickering in and out within the golden light.
"I... I can only maintain this for a short time..." Lin Ye said with difficulty. "The fragments of my consciousness... haven't fully merged yet..."
"Don't talk!" Ace said worriedly. "Rest properly!"
Lin Ye shook his head. "There's no time... Karax... is stronger than I imagined..."
"I sensed it... the Void Empire's true power..."
"I have to tell you... how to deal with them..."
In the distance, Karax saw Lin Ye re-form, and flames of fury burned in his three eyes.

The Void Fleet began concentrating its firepower, black energy spheres gathering at the bows of every vessel.

At that critical moment, a tremendous tremor came from the center of the Solar System.
Abnormal changes began to appear across the Sun's surface.
The star, which had been burning steadily, suddenly erupted with
