Chapter 309

When the entire city burned to the ground, it left, leaving behind a land of "emptiness."

If there were bold adventurers, they might dare to pass through here, fall out directly, and head to another universe.

"My god... did this just burn the entire space away?"

"Why, why does the 'Thing of Absence' want to destroy everything, even to the point of burning space into nothingness?"

"The 'Thing of Absence' is a bit too extreme..."

"If the 'Thing of Absence' granted the entire world a quick death, it would be better. Now it's like torturing a prisoner, letting the prisoner watch themselves lose blood continuously, and die after long torture."

"A bit like a 'Path.' The reason it wants to destroy everything has no specific reason, just because it is the 'Thing of Absence,' it is this conceptual existence... Its instinct drives it to destroy the world."

"Who can say clearly? At least be thankful that those great existences restarted the universe, allowing us to know the epic battle that once happened."

Today is a good day; water and electricity have not been cut off, and everyone in the conference room has some documents and newspapers in front of them.

There is also some expensive food, such as truffles, foie gras, and caviar.

However, those who enjoy these things are left with only silence.

In the conference room where the O5 Council is located, there is only deathly silence, and the air is filled with a rich smell of tobacco, making one suffocated.

In the silence, a man has his feet crossed on the table, puffing away on his own.

The tabletop is made of a single flawless wooden board, presenting reddish-brown and golden tones, with unique textures, decorated with gold and silver threads.

It is hard to imagine that in such a place, someone would actually throw decency aside.

This is like the President of the Federation, after letting one out at a press conference, making a loud noise, trying to cover everything up.

That's not right either; the subsequent plot has happened many times.

The man cuts off a section of the cigar, supports his forehead, and says his thoughts:

"Perhaps, I'm just saying perhaps... this matter should not be faced by the Foundation alone."

He considers his words cautiously, fearing that if he says something wrong, he will be targeted by others.

O5 councilors look incredibly glorious, but except for those very senior councilors, the speed at which other numbers change owners is fast.

But obviously, the O5 councilors are not stupid enough to engage in infighting when the entire Foundation and all of humanity are facing a catastrophe.

Nor are they short-sighted people whose front lines can't send out food while their own warehouses are full of moldy grain.

Seeing everyone's eyes focused on himself, the man pauses and says his full consideration:

"We can form an alliance. Regardless of friend or foe, all organizations that deal with anomalies, all countries, all regions, should cooperate."

O5-1 nods, pondering for a moment:

"We should contact allies first, then issue an appeal to enemies..."

"We must let everyone know what level of terrifying existence humanity is facing this time."

And so, on the path forward for the "Thing of Absence," more violent attacks arrived.

That was more nuclear strikes, purgatory constructed by supernatural powers, heavenly punishment, and sacred relics passed down from ancient times...

But it did not care.

Even the most violent heavenly punishment did not make the footsteps of the "Thing of Absence" pause. ===== CHAPTER 311 =====
