1013 The Approaching Shadow

"…An attack?"

Josuha's broken consciousness had reassembled because of his desire to battle. But even as he awakened within the icy coldness of the Void, what he saw was merely the surge of the Mana Tide which had begun to return to calmness.

Scattered white radiant specks were strewn across the dark Void and gathered into a gushing flow like stardust. Embedded within the gush, the larger world of Stellaris was a reef—sturdy, stubborn, and seemingly eternal unchanging. With that as the backdrop, the shockwaves from the battle continuously extended into the distance like a silver luminous circle.

"…nothing…"

The Ultimate Sublimator Collective had been defeated, and Joshua's enemy had ceased to exist.

Upon realizing that, Joshua consciousness, which had almost slumbered just before, began to slacken once again.

Soon, however, he noticed a luminous silhouette in a corner of the surge, boasting a powerful presence that simply could not be ignored.
