n?”Call the hub and request that the Space Squad be deployed using my name,” Commander Keira instructed calmly.

n“Yes, Ma’am!” The members of the defense force responded as they made the necessary arrangements.

nCommander Keira gripped the arm of her seat tightly. “Let’s hope those guys are able to deal with this thing once and for all…”

nMeanwhile, in space, the Chaos Beholder was running rampage. Its main eye was curled in enjoyment, clearly relishing the destruction it was causing. It was clearly in the midst of great euphoria and could do this forever if given the chance.

nThe Supreme Mecha and the being within watched this with pursed lips. The reason they made this assessment was that the Chaos Beholder had already destroyed more than 70% of the interceptor-class units that were sent out, severely crippling this armada’s fighting force.

nHowever, none of these ships were manned, obviously remotely controlled using high-tech war AI. As such, repair and salvage ships were dispatched behind these troops that would collect any remnant debris and head back to the nearest battle-class ship to rebuild new units as fast as possible to deploy them.

nIt was very easy to destroy these repair ships, but the Chaos Beholder purposefully let them gather the debris and rebuild more troops to send over for it to casually destroy. This was naturally a waste of time, but the Supreme Mecha did not do anything but watch.

nAfter all, this was advantageous to the being within, as every second the Chaos Beholder bought, its created star bases around the universe could conquer one more civilization before Lara Sanguis was drawn out.

nOn the battlefield, it did not take long for a change to occur. The two battle-class ships and the destroyer that had stayed behind began to retreat slowly, making the Chaos Beholder stop its rampage as its eyes narrowed.

nJust because it was having fun didn’t mean that it was willing to mess around too much. After all, it had been summoned here and was maintained by the magic power of its summoner, so if they became dissatisfied with it, they could send it back and summon another one.

nThe Chaos Beholder began to scan the area, but no matter how hard it spread out its psychic waves, it could not detect anything, which left it puzzled.

nHowever, unbeknownst to it, within a private pocket of space, around a hundred people were channeling a great amount of spatial energy towards one person. The person in the lead receiving this power was a middle-aged man with a sharp goatee and two purple eyes that shone unnaturally.

nThis man was humanoid with human features, but his flowing purple hair which reached his shoulder and his polymer suit that was covered by a light jacket made him look like a deity by human standards.

nHis muscular body twitched as he continually received an infusion of purple-colored energy, his veins wiggling and worming under his skin with the very same light coursing through it. His face was locked in the rictus of a snarl as he was clearly in some sort of pain.

n“Captain Seiker… it should be enough…” A member of the squad stated in a muted tone, their face subdued by the gravity of the situation as well as the loss of power they were facing.

nCaptain Seiker’s eyes were bloodshot as he spoke deeply. “Do not stop.”

n“But…” another squad member tried to speak but was cut off by a roar.

n“Don’t stop! That vile thing is eyeing all the people of our home and it has the power to even make Commander Keira especially request our presence, do you understand? This might be the greatest crisis the Nova Universe has ever faced!” Captain Seiker spoke with conviction.

nEveryone went silent and kept contributing their power. Captain Seiker closed his eyes and continued speaking in a softer tone.

n“It took the hits of all our ships, so it must either have a personal barrier or very strong skin. To destroy it in one fell swoop, we will need to unleash an attack of extremely high power that cannot be blocked.”

nIn the end, he said with a sigh. “…Please lend me your power.”

n“Yes!” Everyone in the squad roared as they squeezed out what little power they had left from their superpowers into Captain Seiker, whose entire body was glowing purple by this time. If before he looked like a casual deity, now he looked like a vengeful deity come to punish blasphemers.

nHis team members all fell onto their asses, barely retaining enough space power not to be consumed into the void and stay ‘stable’ within the void. Meanwhile, the captain was quickly deteriorating physically even as awesome as he looked, so he knew he had to be fast.

n“This is from the Nova Universe! Begone foul beast!” he roared within the void as he activated his superpower, which was at the A Rank, Space Blast!

nIt was a concentrated wave of destructive spatial energy that rent anything in its way, and had been the reason why he had defeated so many foes for the Nova Universe in the Zero Gate as a student when harvesting fruits and in the First Gate when claiming territories.

nIt was also why he became the captain of his universe’s strongest force of space element superpower users. When one visualized the blast that emerged from the void and swept towards the Chaos Beholder from behind, one would understand the rationale behind his promotion.

nIt was no different from a planet-rending beam fired from destroyer-class command ships, easily reaching the size of the Chaos Beholder which was equivalent to some moons.

nThe Chaos Beholder sensed the attack and felt a surge of death wash over it. Endless fear coursed through its face as its many pupils narrowed, its tentacles and main body rapidly turning to face the beam head-on. 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝘮

nImmediately, a bright light began to gather in its main eye as well as the many smaller eyes, soon firing a yellowish-black beam when it reached its peak that merged together in the center to strike the spatial blast in the middle of its trajectory.

nHowever, the beam from the Chaos Beholder was only a quarter of the size of the spatial blast charged from any potent superpower users, and it only managed to weaken the blast but a certain amount before being shattered.

nThe Chaos Beholder roared in pain due to the loss of the beam clash, many of its eyes exploding into a bloody mush that spread out through space. Its large eyes became bloodshot as it cried tears and had to close its eyes.

nAt least, the good thing was that with its eyes closed, it did not have to see the spatial blast descend upon it, eventually enveloping its form and turning its silhouette invisible as the powerful wave passed through the spit it had been in.

nLuckily, this was space, so there was no debris or dust to create suspense. The moment the beam passed through, everyone saw that the aftermath was that the body of the Chaos Beholder has been completely ruined, its life extinguished completely.

nSeeing this, the hearts of everyone from the Nova Universe who was watching soared greatly. The void of space that the space members had been hiding in had collapsed due to lack of power, revealing them in true space.

nHowever, each and every one of them wore a smile and cheered even in their fatigue due to their success. The bloody and battered Captain Seiker who was being held up by two squad members also saw this and smiled weakly, feeling accomplished.

nWithin the defense force command center, the members were celebrating and rejoicing happily. Even Commander Keira, who was knownfor her sternness, did not reprimand them, rather smiling slightly and feeling a hint of relief.

n“However, we have to find out how these beasts appeared here and who called it forth…” She began to mutter to herself and was about to give commands when the entire command center became quiet.

nShe raised her head to glance at the monitor and saw that there was a majestic-looking mecha that hovered near the corpse of the Chaos Beholder. What caused everyone to go silent was that this mecha simply tore open a slit in space and tossed the giant corpse through with one hand, a feat that boggled the mind of all.

nAfter doing this, the mecha turned to face the planet, almost seeming to be looking directly at those in the defense force’s command center. A distorted electronic voice then sounded out from their speakers, making many faces pale as it meant he had already hacked into their entire system.

n“Good job, you deserve to be in the top 100 of the First Gate’s rankings. You managed to defeat a low-level Chaos Beholder that was the youngest of its clan in one blow…”

nSuddenly, a gigantic tear in space opened that was so huge that it was more than five times the size of the planet itself, causing every being within the nearest ten thousand light-

nyears to be able to see it.

nFrom this slit came hundreds of Chaos Beholders that were even larger and more developed than the one that came before.

n“… so you should be able to deal with the other members of its clan, right?”
