In the vast, star-filled void, the Bat Beast flew onward without any sense of direction. It passed one planet after another, traversed long belts of asteroids and dust, and maneuvered around brilliant, scorching stars. After an unknown amount of time, it finally arrived in a stretch of absolute emptiness.
"SKREEE!"
The Bat Beast seemed both confused and as if it were sending out a signal.
Its massive body spun and drifted ceaselessly through the area, its cries growing progressively more anxious and shrill.
The immense energy of its sound waves transformed into spatial ripples, radiating outward layer by layer.
The disturbance sent vibrations through the entire expanse of space.
Zhao Rui followed from a distance, watching everything with a solemn expression.
'Is this the place? Why don't I recognize it at all?'
'Could it be that spatial rifts have appeared elsewhere, too?'
Zhao Rui couldn't help but wonder.
Just then, a faint aura suddenly surged forth from the void.
