All-Out or Retreat?

Meanwhile, near the tower's ruins...The situation didn't look good for the top fifty quantum nations.

After the initial confrontation with Apollo failed, the leaders retreated and held an emergency meeting away from the rift, involving everyone.

At the center of the meeting, a holographic screen was displayed, showing an unending stream of dark creatures surging forth from the rift without a hint of slowing down.

Quantix Prime and the rest of the leaders could only watch this happen with distressed expressions, feeling hints of despair arising from the bottom of their hearts.

They ought to feel this way when their attacks fail to do any damage to the infinite army of dark creatures.

The worst part? Those creatures ate matter and energies regardless of their nature, which implied it was near impossible to lock them down with time or spatial-based abilities.
