While Iax was busy directing ships and troops to clear the entire sector, Leviathan's enormous tendrils were finally spotted by a fleet once again.
This time, the thoroughly enraged Great Devourer twisted three tendrils into a single strand and swept them sideways toward the entire sector.
This time, it would sweep away everything that interfered with its feeding.
The enormous Spear of Titans broke away from the fleet and sped toward the coordinates Iax had painstakingly calculated.
The Dark Matter Singularity Chain-Reaction Device had already begun warming up.
The astronomical dimensions of Leviathan's tendrils gave them staggering speed.
As the tendrils swept sideways, their tips could even exceed the speed of light in realspace.
The instant the countdown ended, a silent contest unfolded at the Cosmic Chasm on the edge of the sector.
Countless singularities had been cast into that empty expanse, awaiting the arrival of the intertwined tendrils, which spanned more than thirty light-minutes in width.
Dimensional Collapse Bombs lay concealed among them as a fallback.
If Leviathan's tendrils could overcome the pull of the gravitational fields formed by those miniature black holes, the Dimensional Collapse Bombs would detonate immediately.
Only when black light flared within the dark chasm did the Imperial forces finally discover the enormous tendrils sweeping toward the sector.
Countless people panicked.
Yet what happened next overturned everything they could have imagined.
Just as the tips of the tendrils were about to touch the edge of the sector, they rapidly slowed.
Then they seemed to draw back a little.
Countless dark cosmic singularities erupted within the chasm, pinning the entire mass of tendrils to the sector's edge.
Immense energy shock waves and collapses filled that stretch of space.
The enormous tendrils, whose precise dimensions were unknown, shimmered with dazzling psychic radiance as they constantly resisted the
