Chapter 1869 A Crisis!
Chapter 1869 A Crisis!
Meanwhile, in the grand chamber of the SGAlliance Council, the atmosphere was tense and charged with urgency.
The council hall, which was usually a place of calm deliberation was now buzzing with a sense of impending crisis.
The ten rulers of the SGAlliance's most authoritative races in the universe had been summoned urgently by Queen Ai out of nowhere.
It was for a good reason.
"Thank you all for assembling so swiftly," Queen Allura said solemnly, "We face an unprecedented emergency."
With a wave of her hand, the holographic display activated, projecting a detailed map of the universe.
At the heart of the projection was the Gateway Galaxy, a crucial nexus of interstellar travel and commerce between the SGAlliance's main territory and subsidiary territory on the other side of the Great Nothingness.
This galaxy was called a different name during the reign of the demons, but after the SGAlliance took hold of it, they gave it a fitting name for its grand purpose.
Because it was considered the link connecting the territories, it was populated to the brim due to its successful economic status.
"We heard too. An abnormal cosmic storm seems to be fast approaching the Gateway Galaxy at the speed of light," Emperor Lokhil added while scanning the faces of the gathered rulers with a serious look, "This storm is unlike anything we have ever encountered. Its kinetic energy is off the charts, and its path is devastatingly clear."
The holographic display zoomed in on the Gateway Galaxy, highlighting the storm's trajectory. It was a chaotic turbulence of energy moving inevitably toward the galaxy, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake!
"Based on Queen Ai's readings, this cosmic storm is going to turn the entire galaxy into dust and carry on its trajectory for millions of light years." Elder Dragon White said, not a hint of joy in his voice, "The Gateway Galaxy is merely the start of its destructive journey."
"This is bad, we have to find a way to stop it!" Olivia exclaimed with a concerned tone, "Trillions of lives are at stake here, we must put a stop to it."
After Noah took off on his mission to rescue his sister, he left his representative chair empty. While Olivia refused many times to take on his responsibility of representing the entire human race, she realized that if she didn't do it, all of Felix's hard work would go to waste.
Thus, even when this role didn't suit her character at all, she stepped up to hold on to the torch...At least, until Noah returned.
This job seemed to have helped her mature more than anything else. While she was still as short as ever, she had lost her innocent and baby face.
She could be said to have become a true leader, worthy of leading the human race and fighting for their benefits in the alliance.
"It's not so simple, Madam Olivia." The Hive Empress Scarlet shook her head and said with her usual gentle tone, "This kind of storm can't be stopped even by primogenitors. It had the strength to erase galaxies without any resistance, how do you suggest we stop a storm stretching for millions of lightyears?"
"I..." Olivia could only bite her lips and remain silent, finding no reasonable solution.
"How much time do we have before the storm reaches the Gateway Galaxy?" King Mahit inquired calmly.
As the Watchers King and the current strongest entity in the SGAlliance, he was considered the first ruler, and his opinion/authority was highly respected across the board.
"At its current speed," Queen Ai replied monotonously, "the storm will make contact in less than a year."
"Less than a year..." Queen Alluna murmured, "I believe it's enough time to evacuate the Gateway Galaxy before impact."
"Evacuating an entire galaxy in a year, this is crazy work..." Emperor Lokhil of the Dwarven Empire couldn't help but smile wryly at such an insane decision.
"We have no other choice." Elder Dragon White added, "We should count our lucky stars the storm is heading to the other side of the void."
When he mentioned this, most of the rulers felt chills course down their spine. They realized that he was right, if the cosmic turbulence was to be heading into the main territory, it might take down even their own galaxies!
This was no different than a cosmic apocalypse.
"A storm of this magnitude... what could have caused it?" The Spaceworm High Chieftain changed the subject by asking the right question.
"Our initial scans indicate that the storm's origin lies in the Great Nothingness." Queen Ai anwsered.
"The Great Nothingness, it's called this for a reason." Emperor Lokhil tilted his head in puzzlement, "How can such a storm be born out of nothingness?"
"We don't have time for such speculations." Empress Emily uttered expressionlessly, "We need a coordinated response. Evacuation of the Gateway Galaxy must begin immediately, and we must deploy our strongest defenses to study and slow down the storm."
"Of course, we need to send scouts to the Great Nothingness." Elder Dragon White stressed, "If we don't learn the origin, there is a risk of this happening again."
Realizing that time was tight, the ten leaders began to strategize and coordinate their efforts under the holographic display of the cosmic storm, a harbinger of destruction drawing closer and closer.
As Olivia looked at it one last time, an image of Felix couldn't help but surface in her mind.
'What would he do if he was here?' Olivia smiled bitterly, 'I am sure he will find a way to block it no matter how impossible it seemed.'
One could only wonder what her reaction would be if she were to find out that Felix was responsible for the cosmic storm...
It appeared like she was going to find out sooner than anticipated as the alliance's scouts had already made their way to the depths of the Great Nothingness.
They were a squad made out of battle spaceworms, allowing them to arrive at their desired destination almost instantly.
The moment they bypassed the traveling cosmic turbulence and set their advanced radars, they connected up to Queen Ai's overpowering spiritual senses.
'Do I allow them to witness this or not?' Loki massaged his chin playfully for a moment before showing a wicked smirk, 'Why not? It's about time they witness what true godhood looks like.'
As the true owner of Queen Ai, he was in full control of what he wanted to show to the ten rulers.
So, he allowed Queen Ai's senses to reach the battlefield and share the horrifying sight with the ten rulers.
The moment everyone's eyes focused on the holographic display and saw Felix and Ares standing in front of each other, their souls almost escaped from their throats from dread.
All of them were visibly shaken to the core like their minds couldn't fathom or comprehend the scene before them.
Emperor Lokhil's voice faltered as he tried to speak. "By the stars... their sizes...How..."

Even King Mahit, who was always composed, was utterly stunned. "They're as large as galaxies. The sheer scale of their existence... it's incomprehensible."
"How can such beings exist? Are those Gods?! Their power must be beyond anything we've ever imagined!" Spaceworm High Chieftain could only whisper with a pale face.
"No wonder...If they unleash their full strength, the collateral damage could ripple through the cosmos." Elder Dragon White remarked with a solemn tone.
Before the rest could add their input on the matter, both entities suddenly turned to gaze in their direction, their indifferent peculiar eyes were as bright as stars.
All of them felt chills course down their spine while their heads were automatically lowered, like the idea of staring at those two gods was blasphemous.
