“Ellem.” A mature woman looked to the side.
"What's up?" Ellem glanced at the mature woman.
“It’s likely that trouble will be caused by the group from ‘World Tree,’ since there are a few 50th-generation members there who haven’t been arrested,” the older sister said.
"Request received. The Third Mobile Combat Team is ready to depart at any time," Ellem responded.
"Seventh Combat Team, get ready as well. After the meeting, immediately head to the base universe where the host planet is located to protect it." The older sister looked at the other person.
“No problem,” the man said, opening his eyes.
“Speaking of which…” a mature woman suddenly raised her hand.
"What is it, Lina Lis?" the woman in the main seat asked.
"What's going on with them? When did the council start having combat teams or something?" Lina Liss asked.
"How indifferent are you to the resolutions passed by the council? The professional combat system was passed by the council a hundred years ago, and it was even personally approved by the Zhigao System Master." The woman in the main seat spoke with a tone full of helplessness.
"Oh, that's all." Lina Liss stopped talking.
"...Alright, Lino, you and your squad, from now on, thoroughly find those little bastards who betrayed the Council. The War Space exists because of them." The woman in the main seat looked at Lino.
"Okay, boss." Lino replied with a smile, then got up and left the conference room.
"How many of the fiftieth generation brats haven't returned from outside?" someone asked.
“Back then, 357 of the 50th generation of systems went offline. 287 were arrested on the spot due to the war space, and 43 were killed on the spot because they suddenly attacked their compatriots while on missions abroad,” a mature woman said, holding a document.
"But not all squads were lucky. There were ten squads that were ambushed and all the members remained silent, allowing the target to escape. In the ten thousand years that followed, thirteen fiftieth generation systems were captured by the Disciplinary Committee and executed on the spot."
"As for the remaining fourteen, five have already escaped to the depths of the Sea of Nothingness and are confirmed to be in the 'World Tree.' Three are in the 'Children of the Abyss,' two are in 'Nihilism,' and there has been no news of the last four," the older sister said.
“No, the belongings of three of the remaining four were discovered in the depths of the Sea of Nothingness by the people of the Huron pantheon. Moreover, they were all everyday items, and it cannot be ruled out that they were swallowed by the Sea of Nothingness. The last one will most likely have been swallowed as well,” one person said.
“Alright, this time, our main target is the ‘World Tree’ system. The other two organizations are being monitored by the five pantheons, so we don’t need to bother with them. But we must solve the problem of the World Tree,” said the woman in the main seat.
"Nightmare Space? Those little brats from the 'World Tree' really know how to cause trouble. If that thing isn't dealt with properly and causes space to go berserk, it won't just be a problem with one man-made space, but a problem with a whole series of ordered universes. That could even attract the true gods of the five major pantheons."
"Received!" everyone in the conference room responded.

In the unknown depths of the Sea of Nothingness - Nightmare Space
"..." Elena was still calculating as she watched the various monsters that should only appear in nightmares wandering around outside the defensive layer.
"As expected of the Nightmare Space, a troublesome place for true gods... Tsk~ The computing power is a bit insufficient, but there's nothing I can do, the computing power of the defense layer cannot be transferred..."
"Ugh, seeing so many of these bizarre things makes me feel like I'm having nightmares."
A sudden sound rang out, attracting the attention of the monsters and drawing Elena's gaze in that direction.
"Fragments of a warship... I see. Can physical objects drift away from this space? In that case~" Elena saw a fragment stuck at the edge of space. Although it attracted the monsters, they quickly lost interest because it didn't make any further moves.
“Then let’s start calculating the escape routes for these fragments.” Elena smiled and began calculating all the possibilities…
…………
Merging universes, within the Imperial border base
"It's been a month already, what happened to Elena and why hasn't she come back yet?" Xing was very puzzled. The contract between her and the system was still in place, which meant that the system was still alive, but no matter what she did, she couldn't sense anything about the system.
"Your Majesty, the fleet you requested has been assembled," Maru reported as she floated over.
"Okay, I understand. How have the patrols been going lately?" Xing asked.
“We’ve been conducting continuous patrols,” Maru replied.
"Notify the base universe to change its coordinates again, preferably moving it towards the inland direction of the council's controlled area," Xing said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Maru left.
"I have a bad feeling about this," Xing frowned, a certain feeling making her furrow her brow.
"Boom!" Suddenly, a violent cosmic storm appeared outside the base.
"Huh?!" Xing looked over there and discovered that the cosmic storm had appeared suddenly and was getting stronger and stronger.
"As expected, my intuition was right." Xing stretched out his hand, and invisible divine power emanated, enveloping the fleet located at the border base.
"Boom—!!!" A massive storm of lightning appeared, the intense energy instantly crushing a fleet into dust, and even causing the star that had just released its divine power to be slightly backfired.
"...Tsk~ Notify the fleet to immediately disperse in all directions and not to appear in any storm." Xing turned to look at the officer beside him.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Woo-woo!!" Suddenly, an alarm sounded throughout the entire base.
"What's going on?" Xing noticed something was wrong with the alarm and immediately asked another officer.
"This alarm is... an Abyss invasion! A gate to the Abyss is about to open!" the officer reported immediately.
"The Abyss!? Holy crap! What the hell?" Xing was shocked.
"Rumble~~" The boundary of the universe suddenly shattered, and the cracks kept multiplying and growing larger.
"What's going on?!" Xing stared in shock at the crack, then realized what was happening and tried to connect to the World Management Center, but...
"The World Management Center can't be connected? No, it's because the permissions have been taken over by an entity that has changed its level." Xing sensed the permission problem with the World Management Center.
"Report, Your Majesty, this universe is violently splitting apart. The Azur Lane star system has vanished immediately after the split!" an officer reported.
"Tsk~ Notify the Wave Cannon Fleet to open fire at full power directly towards the World Management Center." Xing issued the order.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The officer hurriedly began reporting to the base's central command.
"What exactly happened? Not only is there a problem with the World Management Center, but why did the Abyss Gate appear?" Xing subconsciously bit her nails as she pondered.
"Buzz~" A fragmented holographic projection appeared in front of Xing; it was Silver Wolf's.
"Star, what happened? The Black Tower noticed that the universe suddenly split... Zzzzz..." Silver Wolf was asking Star a question when the connection was completely severed the next second.
"Your Majesty, the Starry Sky Railway's main universe and this universe disappeared after splitting. According to the last message from the garrison there, the coordinates of that universe were directly modified after the split, and its current location is unknown," the officer reported.
"I understand." Xing frowned, then performed a forced teleportation towards the World Management Center...
