Chapter 178: Chapter178-Void Devourer

The powerful figures of the Sacred Empire gazed at Dalton’s terrifying depth with complex expressions.

Dalton is truly unfathomable!

Regarding the Dalton president, whom they had never met, they couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of longing.

What kind of existence must one be to create such a miraculous city and gather so many unparalleled strong individuals?

There was no time to think further, as the massive coalition army, like an unstoppable steel torrent, surged forward toward the Unknown Land’s boundary.

Under Elizabeth’s leadership, this Starborn legion, filled with an aura of deadly slaughter, strode across the stars, unstoppable!

So far, this legion had never suffered defeat.

Wherever they passed, only submission or destruction awaited.

There was no third possibility!

Meanwhile, at the Sacred Empire’s core.

Lilith ran quickly to the entrance of Hathaway’s private chambers.

“Your Highness, the Empress is in deep meditation; it’s best not to disturb her.”

“However, if you have urgent business, I will wake her immediately!”

A phantom quietly appeared and respectfully offered the reminder.

Upon hearing this, Lilith sighed lightly.

“Alright, I won’t disturb Mother.”

She then turned and left.

“Miss, don’t even think about joining the battle.”

“Even if you tell the Empress, she will never agree.”

Fiona’s head popped out from her sleeve with a helpless expression.

Lilith pouted. “What do you mean by that? My strength isn’t any less than yours!”

Fiona’s lips twitched slightly.

Miss, that’s because I didn’t dare fight back!

If I actually used my power, you’d probably end up crying for your mother, and I’d be skinned, torn apart, and beaten mercilessly…

However, she only dared to mutter this in her heart, continuing to persuade her verbally.

“Miss, the battlefield is really dangerous, and with people like Lord Elarielle there, I’m sure the problem will be solved.”

Although Fiona didn’t know exactly how strong the enemy was, the fact that Empress Hathaway had consolidated the strength of the entire known star regions to face them meant that this opponent was definitely not easy to handle.

Fiona’s words held some weight.

Lilith pondered for a moment, and the impulse to join the battle faded somewhat.

But she still felt uncomfortable.

She understood everyone’s desire to protect her and knew that her strength might not be of much use, and at times could even become an unnecessary burden.

When she was weaker, she would actively avoid causing trouble for others.

That was why she worked so hard to improve, yet in the end, it was still the same—she could only hide in the rear when danger approached…

At this moment, she really wanted to ask her father what the answer to this question was.

Unfortunately, Leo wasn’t around.

With a hint of disappointment, Lilith slowly left.

Deep within the palace.

Hathaway slowly opened her eyes, a complicated and contented look flashing in her gaze.

“My Lilith has grown up…”

However, just as Fiona had said, she truly did not want Lilith to participate in this war.

Even though she knew overprotecting her wasn’t a good thing.

Although she was quite confident, what if?

What if something unexpected happened, something she hadn’t foreseen?

This was her only daughter. Leo had entrusted Lilith to her, and she had to take responsibility.

Thinking of this, Hathaway took a deep breath, and her gaze suddenly turned cold, piercing through the endless void directly toward the torn boundary.

A powerful and ethereal figure stood there, exuding an aura of danger.

Sensing Hathaway’s gaze, the figure immediately turned to meet her eyes.

However, when it saw Hathaway, a look of horror instantly filled the figure’s eyes.

“It’s you! You… you’re still alive!!”

The figure looked as if it had seen a ghost, its voice filled with disbelief.

After the shock, it was followed by an immense killing intent accumulated over countless years!

“Damn you!”

“This time, I will shatter your divine essence and send you forever into the abyss!!”

The roar, carrying terrifying power, echoed through the starry sky, and the space around them began to crack apart!

The figure’s aura had clearly surpassed the Supreme Sanctuary rank!

Authority rank!

Feeling this terrifying aura, the coalition army’s forces, rushing toward the boundary, were all shaken to their core.

They were about to face such a powerful existence!

“…This is troublesome.”

Someone furrowed their brow.

“Heh, what’s there to fear?”

An old general from the Sacred Empire remained calm.

“Don’t forget, we still have Her Majesty the Empress.”

Upon hearing this, the hearts of the group steadied.

With the Empress overseeing the battle, what was there to fear?

“With Her Majesty in charge, why fear a mere Authority rank existence?”

A voice of confidence rose from the crowd, quickly dispelling the fear among the soldiers.

Not even an Authority rank, let alone three, could shake their belief that the Empress could handle it effortlessly!

The morale of the army quickly surged.

Even Dalton’s strong figures nodded in agreement.

That was the president’s wife. Although they had never seen her fight in person, as the president’s wife and the Empress of the Sacred Empire, her power was undoubtedly unfathomable!

Dealing with an Authority rank existence would surely be a piece of cake.

“The army continues forward!”

Elizabeth, regaining her composure, immediately gave the order.

Dalton’s forces and strong individuals once again surged forward like a flood toward the Unknown Land.

However, when they reached the boundary, the sight before them made everyone gasp in shock.

At the boundary, a twisted, writhing spatial rift stood before them like a grotesque scar on the universe.

Terrifying and chaotic energy was pouring out from it continuously.

In the distance, the Sacred Empire’s stationed forces, who had been stationed here, were now all pale, the atmosphere tense.

Could it be…

“Hehehe, foolish insects, are you ready to accept the baptism of our kind?”

From the front of the void, a sinister figure let out a sharp, cold laugh.

It looked ferocious, and its hatred for Hathaway seemed to have turned into a tangible substance.

It was hard to imagine what kind of past they shared.

As soon as the figure finished speaking, the spatial rift violently churned again!

The next moment, countless bizarre and otherworldly creatures poured out like a tide!

They had no fixed form, only twisted faces and writhing dark tendrils.

“Ke ke ke…”

A creepy, soul-chilling laugh echoed repeatedly, causing everyone who heard it to feel disgusted.

What… in the world are these things?!

The crowd exchanged confused glances, each seeing the same bewilderment and shock in the others’ eyes.

Among so many powerful beings, not one recognized these creatures!

An entirely unknown enemy—this was no good!

Just as everyone was confused, an old man, cloaked in tattered robes, silently appeared on the battlefield.

“They are Void Devourers!”

His clear voice rang through the boundary, filled with deep hatred.

Void Devourer?

The name was completely unfamiliar to everyone.

But just hearing the name alone made it clear that these beings were not friendly!
