"Herta" Space Station.

Asta, who was still in a dream, suddenly woke up. She sat up from the bed subconsciously and looked around, her eyes full of confusion.

Waking up from a dream is not uncommon, especially for her as the acting station master.

Managing the space station, dealing with space station staff, or dealing with family matters, there will always be times when things don't go as planned.

At this time, even if she has taken health supplements to aid sleep and done maintenance before going to bed, she may suddenly wake up.

But today, Asta herself didn't know why she woke up. It seemed that she had some special touch in her dream, or she had some special feelings in her heart.

If Ms. Herta were to talk about this situation, it would probably have something to do with Aeons, divine revelations, inspiration, and the like.

Asta looked around and didn't find anything wrong. Her clothes were complete on her body, the alarm in the room was not triggered, there was no noise in the space station, and the ambient temperature and humidity were kept constant.

There was no urgency, or bad sleeping posture pressing on her arm, etc…

After pondering for a while, she walked on the floor barefoot and poured a glass of warm water.

Asta stood in front of the porthole, looked through this window several meters wide at the blue star below the space station and the stars in the distance, and took a few sips of water.

Stars…?

At this moment, she finally realized that something had changed!

The stars in their prime had suddenly dimmed a lot!

…

"Herta" Space Station, Department of Universal Geography.

Whether it was an old professor who had been in the job for many years, a young staff member who hadn't been in the job for long, or a new staff member who was still in the internship period, they were all guarding the instruments at this time, staring intently at the changes in curves and numbers on the screen.

Even if they had just experienced a great disaster, and friends and relatives around them died under the butcher's knife of the Antimatter Legion.

Even if their eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, they had to drink energy drinks and refreshing drinks to force themselves not to collapse.

At this very moment.

All observable instruments that could be used were mobilized to observe the stars.

There is no interference from clouds in space, and the observation data obtained is much more accurate.

However, at this time, everyone's expression was very solemn, and their eyes were full of doubts.

The data obtained from the "Herta" Space Station was no different from the data provided by the ground observation station on the blue star.

The brightness of many stars decreased by more than 20%, and the brightness of some stars that were originally extremely bright even decreased by more than 50%!

Any scholar who learned this news had no intention of sleeping this night.

This is a scene that is incomparably explosive no matter which world it is placed in, or what level of technology it is.

More importantly, no matter which race or civilization's historical documents or astronomical observation data in the galaxy, there is no record of similar phenomena.

And among all the Paths, there is no Aeon who can achieve the feat of affecting hundreds of millions of star systems at the same time.

It is like covering the entire starry sky with a black curtain, or like dark clouds appearing in the entire area.

At this moment, everyone who witnessed this landscape, whether an insider or an outsider, urgently wanted to know the reason for this situation, how long it would last, and what it meant.

Once there is a slight clue, they may make shocking research results.

And this may even rewrite the known foundation of astronomy!

…

Astral Express.

Since all the crew members went to rest, Himeko and Pom-Pom turned off the lighting system of the observation carriage.

Therefore, the change in stellar brightness was noticed by them at the first time.

In an instant, the brightness in the observation carriage dropped significantly.

The area where the outline could be vaguely seen before became pitch black in an instant.

Even Himeko, who has experienced countless worlds and seen many astronomical wonders, has never encountered such a situation.

According to common sense, even if the stars are active and the changes are intense, it will not be like this.

Changes in stellar brightness are carried out in units of months, years, or even ten thousand years.

"Could it be the Lord Ravager¨‖?"

Himeko thought about it, but couldn't think of anyone else who would be idle enough to affect the stars besides this Emanator of "Destruction."

But neither Welt Yang nor Bai Xuan had any reaction at this moment, which meant that they thought there was no danger at the moment and could continue to do their own things.

Moreover, she didn't feel any special power fluctuations.

So, what caused this change?

Himeko was puzzled.

In the deep darkness, Pom-Pom's expression also changed. The furry little guy looked at Himeko, very uneasy:

"What happened just now?"

"Why did the carriage suddenly become so dark?"

"Is there a malfunction in the lighting system of the 'Herta' Space Station?"

In confusion, Pom-Pom sought answers from Himeko.

However, the other party could not answer its doubts.

Himeko shook her head, still very calm on the surface:

"Sorry, Pom-Pom."

"I know nothing about this, but it doesn't look like the Antimatter Legion is attacking."

…

In March 7th's room.

Bai Xuan slept very soundly.

He had a wonderful dream.

In the dream, he became the eldest brother of the Ultra Brothers, Zoffy.

One day, while patrolling in the universe, he met the fierce cosmic tyrant Tyrant.

When the other party was about to pounce on the blue star, the eldest brother of the Ultra Brothers, Zoffy, who was patrolling Neptune, discovered it and immediately stopped its conspiracy.

However, after two moves, he was knocked to the ground and couldn't get up again.

Just like that, the invincible Zoffy fell.

".. What a mess!"

Bai Xuan opened his eyes and banished the strange pictures in the dream from his mind.

With his awakening.

The stars in the sky returned to their normal brightness and continued to burn fiercely, carrying out nuclear fusion reactions that seemed to be eternal.

This left countless astronomers and astronomy enthusiasts who hadn't closed their eyes all night with a new doubt.

Why did the brightness of the stars suddenly become normal again?

What happened?

Then.

Bai Xuan subconsciously wanted to rub his eyes and stretch.

But he felt that his legs and arms were bound, as if he were tied to an instrument of torture, and there were several orange cats lying on him.

He remembered that he was surrounded by people…

Looking left and right, the two were still maintaining that posture, and even put some weight on him.

Bai Xuan's mind moved slightly, confirming the current time.

After knowing that it was already 7:00 in the morning, he moved his mind slightly and used his ability.

The next moment, his figure appeared in front of the bed, and he was already dressed.

Immediately, Bai Xuan took a step toward the door, and his figure disappeared from the room, instantly appearing outside the room, in the corridor.

And Dan Heng was looking into the distance by the window at this time.

Seeing Bai Xuan suddenly appear, Dan Heng was stunned for a moment, then reacted and greeted him:

"Good morning, it looks like you slept well yesterday."

Bai Xuan nodded, noticing that Dan Heng's state was slightly worse, and he seemed a little tired.

It was like a college student who was used to getting up at noon suddenly having to run exercises and attend morning classes.

"Morning, didn't you rest well last night?"

Dan Heng did not deny it, and continued to look through the window at the robots helping to load supplies and the staff confirming the supply list in the space station.
