Chapter 47: Falling into Subspace

~8 min read 1,452 words

A massive explosion.

The Spirit Race Battleship successfully struck the center of the Chaos Fleet according to plan.

When its terrifying yield ammunition detonated, causing the Spirit Race Battleship to revert the entire ship to an atomic state, the Alert Star war finally came to an end.

On the ground, Abadon no longer paid attention to Kaerjia; he turned and used the A-space Evil Method to teleport back to his flagship, fearing that he would be separated from the Vengeful Soul.

The ground troops, watching the bizarre light pressing over the star above their heads, after a brief moment of confusion, erupted into fierce cheers.

The Extreme Warrior's Honor Guard ran to Kaerjia's side, hurriedly placed Kaerjia on a stretcher, and rushed toward the emergency room already prepared at the rear.

But Kaerjia, whose body could not move, now lay on the familiar stretcher, his eyes fixed on the rift above that was devouring all the warships.

At the same time his mouth opened and closed, as if silently muttering a name......

The Alert Star fell into revelry, and before the rift, gripping the warship tightly and feeling the whole ship trembling beneath his feet, Xisi, while watching the Subspace rift draw nearer, no longer concealed his anger and shouted profanities at Kaerjia.

But these curses could no longer be heard; Xisi could only watch helplessly as he and the battered ship beneath his feet were swept by the dense swarm of Chaos warships into the rift.

Meanwhile, the second officer beside him, enduring the massive suction and working frantically for a while, then lifted his pallid face and shouted in terror:

"Gale Position......"

"Gale Position has been damaged!!!"

Xisi, Bunoke, Ana, and even the briefly awakened Daiweiluo all instantly withdrew their gazes from the front rift and stared at the second officer.

And then......

The warship plunged into the rift!

Subspace is the Sea of Souls, filled with almost every emotion of the universe, and countless demons spawned from those emotions.

Thus traversing Subspace is like sailing the Sea of Souls, and one must activate the Gale Position to prevent endless A-space demons from entering the ship.

The boundless bizarre world glowed overhead with all manner of uncanny lights, while beneath the feet lay the crystal-clear, tangible Sea of Souls, sparkling with endless points of light.

In the distance, the 'Sea', at the edge of the eerie sky dome, bore a pale blue sunset, continuously radiating light over this world.

But if one could stand in the middle of the Sea of Souls and scan around, they'd see that this sunset also bore pink, red, and green hues, and with a golden one rising from another direction, five 'suns' now stood over the Subspace Sea of Souls.

Under the illumination of the five lights, a terrifying Subspace swell surged in a region of the endless Sea of Souls!

The densely packed Chaos warships bobbed constantly in the Sea of Souls, and many small warships were completely capsized by the swell, swept away to unknown directions.

Only the massive Vengeful Soul at the center could barely remain stable amid such terrifying swells.

But the Vengeful Soul's situation was far from ideal; the Spirit Race Battleship was almost pressed against the exploding Vengeful Soul, and now the entire right side of the Vengeful Soul's hull had been completely blown apart, with endless Subspace swells continuously surging inward, carrying with them the maddening demons birthed from extreme emotions.

The senior commander at the breach directed the cult army and Chaos Astat to fend off these abominable beings.

Although they possessed the Four Gods Blessing, in Subspace the Four Gods could not—or would not—act, causing all Subspace demons to obey them.

Thus even Chaos, in this situation, could only fight these demons to the blood until the Gale Position reactivated.

But during combat lulls, not only was Abadon, who was safely behind, but even the frontline senior commander, his attention was not on the Vengeful Soul.

Abadon, the senior commander, and even all the surrounding Chaos and Empire warships that had activated the Gale Position, nearly everyone's gaze fell upon the Sword-class Escort Ship that had been completely encircled by endless A-space demons.

Because aside from the Vengeful Soul, this was the only ship at present without a Gale Position yet still unfallen!

Abadon watched the A-space demons being repelled from the Vengeful Soul again, and the Gale Position restored after the Mechanical Church's emergency repairs, his gaze finally fixed on the endless demons outside the ship that had already formed a massive sphere.

"How long? A few hours? Or days?"

Subspace time flow was completely chaotic; what felt like a few hours might actually be years, decades, or even hundreds to thousands of years.

Of course, this duration might also be just a fleeting instant.

Abadon asked coldly, while the Mechanical Church beside him produced a slew of instruments and frantically calculated, then presented a result:

"The probability of five minutes is 34.5%, seven days 17.6%, two months 62.9%."

The cold electronic voice of the mechanical broadcast, the moment the three results were out, made Abadon involuntarily lift his head slightly, his eyes staring at the ever‑expanding circular demon frenzy, silently widening in shock!

"Two...... months?!"

Even after eons of endless war, this moment forced Abadon to pay 'respect' to that Sword‑class Escort Ship—or rather, to Xisi who had leapt back within it!

It was genuine respect, for Abadon, who worships supreme strength, shows respect to any formidable power.

And not only Abadon expressed his shock through 'respect'; all surrounding Chaos and Empire forces also felt boundless astonishment.

Because every ship had a Mechanical Church, and each Mechanical Church gave roughly the same time estimate.

"A group of mortals, without a Gale Position in Subspace, held out for two months."

When this information was fully absorbed by the watching sides, everyone couldn't help but tremble deep within.

After all, for these witnesses, the shock was comparable to seeing their revered deity appear before them!

Only the external onlookers were silent and trembling, while at the very center of the ever‑expanding circular demon frenzy, on the bridge of this Empire mass‑produced Escort Ship—

Xisi stood at the summit of the mountain of A‑space demons, brandishing his Power Sword to cleave an unknown demon before him in two.

A‑space demons, when they die in the material universe, instantly turn to ash, but in the Subspace that birthed them, death turns them into corpses that temporarily retain their form.

Thus beneath Xisi's feet now lay not only a mountain of demon corpses, but a sea of them filling the entire Escort Ship.

Around Xisi were the Black Watch, who had discarded their spent firearms and turned to wield various melee weapons.

Compared with the tens of thousands who launched from the Alert Star, after two months of relentless fighting, fewer than two thousand remain around Xisi now.

Even these two thousand, for the demons to eliminate a single one often requires an unimaginable price.

And after Xisi had been hacking away for an unknown length of time, under the close watch of both Chaos and Empire observers, the long‑awaited Blessing finally descended!

Within the eerie sky dome surged a torrent of Subspace Energy, and the light representing the Blessing continuously brewed within.

The Imperial Side, seeing the Divine Emperor truly manifest, knelt in excitement and called out devoutly.

The Chaos side also slightly averted, subconsciously hesitant to gaze directly at the forming light.

Even among many Chaos mages, some muttered about the massive scale of this Blessing.

Because this Blessing, which requires long preparation, is not aimed at a single individual but at hundreds or thousands!

The Chaos mages, after bowing their heads and exchanging a glance, couldn't help but mutter internally:

What? You, Huangpizi, want to Bless every person in here, don't you? Then your reach is a bit too great!

Only Chaos bowed its head, the Empire cheered, and as the light gradually manifested, the first to show shock was, oddly enough, Abadon!

Clang!

The massive body suddenly stood upright from the Bridge War General's throne, and this time Abadon could no longer keep a calm face; he stared in shock with his eyes widened, even his mouth involuntarily opened, and could only stare blankly at the forming Blessing, his expression seething to the extreme.

Then, under the Imperial Side's puzzled stare, the Blessing's light passed through the evil spirit and shone into the ship.

He felt the power within his body restoring, even stronger than when at full capacity.

Xisi stared blankly at his left hand holding the chainsaw sword, and then his face......

was reddened by the light!

"What... it's red light again?!"
