This announcement was like a depth charge dropped on a calm lake, causing a huge shock in Dimensional City!

Kevin, who was practicing tactics on the training field, paused slightly, a hint of understanding flashing in his icy blue eyes.

Inside the research department, Möbius chuckled excitedly: "As expected... quite a grand gesture! Xiaobai, shouldn't we update the catalog of our experimental materials library?"

Bai Yuekui calmly operated the instruments: "Notification received. We are reassessing the risk level of all external exploration plans."

The Herrscher of Knowledge, who was showing the Celestial Ship Envoy around, yelled, "Did you hear that?! I told you the Great Demon King was amazing! He even captured the Star God! You guys can just relax and do your work!"

Marshal Hua, Jing Yuan, and the others exchanged bewildered glances. Although they had already witnessed it firsthand, the official confirmation still deeply shocked them. They also finally understood the source of Feng Xi's earlier confidence in saying "There's no need to worry." A complex mix of relief and awe spread through their hearts.

The ordinary residents and warriors were initially stunned, then erupted in cheers and discussions! The greatest threat had been eliminated by the city lord single-handedly, which meant that the expansion and exploration of the Dimensional City would be infinitely safer! Their awe and worship of Feng Xi reached a new peak.

However, after releasing this announcement that was enough to change the global landscape, Feng Xi frowned slightly, as if he had remembered something insignificant.

“Polkakakamu…and gluttony…” he muttered to himself, “I forgot those two. My memory is really not very good.”

For this being who controls space and can easily imprison star gods, remembering all the "troubles" that need to be dealt with does not seem to be a priority. They will only be remembered again when they might interfere with the plan.

The next moment, his figure disappeared from the dimensional city and stepped into the vast universe once again.

Polkakakamu, this mysterious individual with a special destiny or immense power, may be hiding in some star field, conducting some kind of research or plot. But under Feng Xi's spatial perception, no concealment can hide anything.

He appeared directly at Polkakaka's hiding place. The opponent might try to resist, using some strange ability or creation, but before absolute spatial power, any struggle was futile. Feng Xi didn't even pay much attention to the details of the opponent's ability; he simply solidified, peeled away, and compressed the space around him into an independent confinement unit, as if taking an object. The process was brief and efficient; Polkakaka didn't even have time to cry out before losing his freedom.

Next is Obolas, the gluttonous god. This star god, symbolizing endless devouring desires, resides in a place that resembles the stomach of the universe, where everything is being digested and absorbed.

Chapter 272 The Universe

Feng Xi stepped into this area filled with devouring power. A terrifying suction force instantly acted on him, attempting to tear him apart, disintegrate him, and merge him into that eternal hunger.

“Hungry…devouring…” The enormous, blurry form, composed of countless devouring concepts, let out a deep roar and opened its invisible maw.

Feng Xi's reaction remained calm. The essence of gluttony is "devouring" and "digesting." He did not resist this power, but rather **satisfied with it without limit**.

Before the gluttonous creature, he directly opened a passage to a desolate, collapsing, and incredibly abundant dimensional space. The nearly infinite matter and energy of that dimension surged forth like a burst dam, pouring into the gluttonous creature's "mouth"!

Driven by gluttony, it devoured everything in sight. Its body swelled and twisted violently from consuming far more matter and energy than it could possibly contain in a short period. It had never been so "full" before, to the point of agony!

"No...too much...stop..." The gluttonous intent turned from greed into pain and fear. It wanted to stop, but the passage that Feng Xi forcibly maintained and its own devouring instinct made it unable to stop!

Finally, with a strange and painful wail that sounded like the universe had eaten its fill, the gluttonous Oberos "stuffed" himself to the point of near-paralysis. His enormous body became bloated and sluggish from excessive consumption, losing all vitality.

Feng Xi then closed the passage and, in a casual move, imprisoned and compressed the gluttonous star god who had been "bloated to the point of stupidity," taking it back to the Thousand Realms Prison along with his fellow sufferer, Polkakakamu.

When Feng Xi reappeared in the Thousand Realms Prison and casually placed two new imprisonment units—one containing the bewildered Polkakakamu, and the other containing the bloated, sluggish, and unconsciously burping Gluttonous Obolos—into the newly generated cells, the "old residents" in the prison were already somewhat numb.

Aha's ball of light flickered: "Wow! New friends! One I've never seen before! And the other, is he a reincarnated starving ghost? How did he get so fat? Hahaha!"

Nanook remained silent.

Cripper remained frozen.

Lan's flowing light seemed to slow down slightly, as if to express her silence.

Hippe subconsciously wanted to spread the idea of ​​"integration" to the newcomer, but she shrank back when she saw Tan Tao's expression.

The scales of mutual anger tipped even further: "...an even greater imbalance..."

The messengers of the Immortal Ship had already left, and the company's guardian messengers seemed to feel a little better when they saw another "newcomer" suffer misfortune, but when they thought about their own fate, they fell into despair again.

Feng Xi glanced around the now more "lively" Thousand Realms Prison, and after confirming that there were no other obvious "oversights" for the time being, he nodded in satisfaction.

"That should be about right."

He disappeared again, leaving behind a cell full of the world's top combat power, like a precious (?) specimen carefully prepared by a collector.

The biggest obstacle to Dimensional City's expansion has been completely removed. On the chessboard of the universe, the player has cleared the board; now, it's time to make swift moves and take full control.

Although the news of Feng Xi's annihilation of the world's top combat forces has not been officially announced, the successive disappearances of envoys and even star gods from various forces have already caused a devastating earthquake among the higher-ups. The various forces, having lost their most powerful combatants, have fallen into varying degrees of chaos and readjustment.

Immortal Boat Alliance Luofu

The atmosphere within the Shence Mansion was heavy. The collective disappearance of General Jing Yuan, along with Marshal Hua, Fei Xiao, and other top combatants, left Luo Fu and the entire Immortal Ship Alliance without their backbone. Taibu Si Fu Xuan was appointed to act as general in this crisis. Her expression was calm, but the tightly clenched jade tablet and slightly furrowed brows betrayed the immense pressure she was under.

"Even with the Ten Kings Division operating at full capacity, they still cannot track down any trace of the General and the Marshal."

A judge reported in a low voice.

"All the immortal ships have entered a state of highest alert. The Cloud Cavalry is relaxed on the outside but tense on the inside, and the defensive line has been fully contracted."

Another Cloud Cavalry general added. Fu Xuan looked at the vast areas on the star map that had been abandoned due to the loss of the hunting envoys, and said in a deep voice:

"Maintain the status quo and hold fast to the fundamentals. All external expeditions are suspended indefinitely. Prioritize ensuring the stability of each immortal ship and appease the public. At the same time... increase the number of spies and investigate all information about Dimensional City and Fengxi at all costs, but under no circumstances should war be started lightly."

Her commands were clear and calm, knowing full well that a single misstep at this moment could lead to utter destruction. The remaining immortal ships were also temporarily placed under the command of the various Dragon Lords or Elders of Wisdom, and the entire fleet transitioned to a period of strategic defense and internal reorganization.

Interstellar Peace Corporation

The atmosphere at the company headquarters was at the other extreme. The disappearance of the guardian was seen as a great disgrace, and coupled with the previous fleet's crushing defeat, the flames of revenge burned to their fullest extent.

"Fleet assembled! Final Judgment Protocol activated!" General Clough's red eyes stared at the massive star map, marked with an attack route pointing directly to the solar system. "All resources must be channeled into the expeditionary force! We will crush that damned mobile city-state! From their ruins, we will rebuild the glorious legacy of our preservation!"

The massive war machine roared with unprecedented efficiency, as countless ships, war fortresses, and even experimental strategic weapons were mobilized. The voices within the company were completely unified: War! War at all costs! They were unaware that they were frantically rushing towards a grave that had already been dug for them.

Black Tower Space Station

The atmosphere on the space station was rather strange. Stationmaster Estella was working hard to maintain daily operations, but the sudden "offline" of Lady Black Tower brought many core projects to a standstill.

"Station Chief Estella, the artifact energy in Laboratory Seven is becoming unstable again!" "Station Chief! The Knowledge Society has sent an inquiry regarding the latest research shared by Lady Black Tower..." Estella was overwhelmed with work, having to deal with concerns from all sides. Fortunately, the reliable Security Chief, Alan, led the Iron Guards to maintain order and handle various emergencies.

"Alan, where do you think Lady Black Tower went?" Estella asked softly, rubbing her forehead. Alan remained expressionless, warily surveying his surroundings. "I don't know. But I'll take responsibility for the safety of the space station." His gaze swept over the still-shimmering Black Tower dolls, adding, "Perhaps, the lady has simply found a new subject that interests her more." In a way, he was right.

Antimatter Legion

Unlike the reactions of other forces, the Antimatter Legion descended into utter chaos. The successive disappearances of its leader, the Annihilation Lord, left this army, which already revered destruction and chaos, without its last restraint.

Chapter 273 The Decision of the Star Train

Legions across the land went berserk, abandoning all strategy and attacking everything in sight, driven by instinct. The scale and extent of destruction expanded dramatically, but the loss of unified command and high-end combat capabilities also made them easier to defeat piecemeal—provided the local civilizations were capable of resisting this destructive onslaught. Global disaster alerts surged instantly.

Pinocchio

The Dream Hotel remained as vibrant as ever, but the "family" meetings were becoming increasingly frequent. "The Envoy is missing, the Star God is silent… that dimensional city is more dangerous than we imagined," a family member said gravely. "The solar system has become the eye of the storm. Suspend all plans to enter the dream world in that area. Strengthen the defenses of our own dream barrier." "Keep an eye on things, but… keep a safe distance."

Pinocchio opted for the most cautious self-preservation strategy, remaining wary and distant of Dimensional City.

Star Dome Train

The train traveled silently among the stars, but the atmosphere inside the carriage was somewhat heavy.

"Still no news? The Immortal Ship also says that General Jingyuan and the others are missing..."

March 7th said with concern.

Himeko held the coffee, her expression serious:

"Not only the Immortal Ship, but also top experts from the company, the legion... many places have mysteriously disappeared. All the clues seem to point to that suddenly appearing dimensional city."

Dan Heng looked at the solar system marked on the star map:

"The eye of the storm. We need to go check it out."

He instinctively felt that it might be related to his lost memories. Xing gripped his baseball bat tightly and nodded vigorously:

"Okay! Go find out what happened!"

After a moment's thought, Himeko made her decision:

"Change course, target, the solar system. We need firsthand intelligence."

Star Core Hunter

Inside the dimly lit stronghold, Elio appeared unusually...irritable.

"The script... is completely messed up."

He whispered to the empty corner, as if complaining.

"The predetermined trajectory has been forcibly torn apart, and the future branches converge towards an absolutely unknown point... This was not in any prophecy."

He paused for a moment, then issued new instructions.

"Kafka, Blade, Silver Wolf, Firefly." Four figures silently appeared. "Heading to the Solar System, destination: Dimensional City."

Elio's voice carried a hint of helplessness and determination.

"Try... to contact that city lord. Perhaps... integrating into that new chaos is the only chance of survival we can find after our predetermined fate has been torn apart."

The global landscape has been completely reshaped by Feng Xi's absolute power. Former giants are either struggling, launching frantic counterattacks, or cautiously observing the situation. Meanwhile, new forces—the Train Crew, driven by a spirit of exploration, and the Star Core Hunters, carrying a rewritten script—are converging from all directions toward the solar system, toward the location of that dimensional city.

A storm is slowly unfolding, centered on Dimensional City. This time, Feng Xi no longer needs to take action personally; the power he controls and the schemes he has laid out naturally begin to attract and filter visitors from all over the world.

Feng Xi's return to Dimensional City was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, its ripples spreading across the entire universe at an unprecedented speed. After the initial shock and chaos, the various forces that had lost their top-tier combat power made drastically different choices based on their own strengths and circumstances.

The solar system, once a remote corner, has now become the eye of the storm, the focus of all eyes in the universe.

Dimensional City Core Hub

Feng Xi stood before the enormous star map, which clearly displayed the movements of all parties in the universe. The massive expeditionary force of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, fueled by vengeful fury, was advancing in a mighty tide, like moths drawn to a flame. The uncontrolled destructive torrents of the Antimatter Legion were ravaging multiple star systems. The Star Train had changed course, and the Star Core Hunters had concealed their tracks, all heading towards the Solar System. Pinocchio chose to retreat and protect itself, while the Immortal Ship Alliance, in its painful transformation, was trying to grasp at a glimmer of hope.

"The struggle of an ant."

Feng Xi's assessment was cold and ruthless. To him, these movements were merely the instinctive reactions of pieces on a chessboard; everything was still under control.

He did not order a proactive attack to intercept the company's fleet, nor did he specifically target and eliminate the out-of-control antimatter legions. In his view, these were precisely the "touchstones" and "background noise" for honing the army, testing the system, and selecting allies under the new order of Dimensional City.

His will was silently conveyed through the network of the Dimensional City:

All combat units deploy according to the predetermined defensive sequence.

[Open up low-intensity zones, allowing limited contact and observation by external forces (such as train crews).]

[Monitor the movements of the star core hunter and assess its intentions.]

Those who surrender from the Immortal Ship will immediately begin participating in city defense construction and patrol missions, with rewards calculated based on contribution points.

The commands were concise and efficient, and the entire dimensional city began to operate methodically, like a sophisticated war machine. A massive energy barrier quietly formed on the outskirts of the solar system, automated defense platforms disguised as asteroid belts were activated, and patrol fleets began to set sail frequently. A state of readiness, outwardly relaxed but inwardly tense, quietly took shape.

Interstellar Peace Corporation Expeditionary Fleet

"Anomaly in the airspace ahead has been detected!"

"Energy barrier? Hmph! A death throes! Charge the main guns! Blast it open!" General Clough roared aboard the flagship "Endgame".

The massive corporate fleet deployed into attack formation, countless cannons flashing with destructive light, aiming at the seemingly empty starfield. Driven by the flames of revenge, they were unaware that they were crashing headlong into a pre-laid web.

Star Dome Train

The train travels through the sea of ​​stars, gradually approaching the outer reaches of the solar system.

"Wow... the spatial parameters here are so strange..." March 7th looked at the fluctuating data on the instrument, "It feels like... there are many invisible walls?"

Himeko's expression turned grave: "A very strong spatial technology field. It seems that Dimensional City is even more... heavily guarded than we imagined."

Dan Heng silently sensed it: "There's... a familiar yet unfamiliar aura." He thought of Jing Yuan and the others who had gone missing, and his feelings were complicated.

Xing pressed her face against the car window, her eyes wide as she tried to see something: "Are we just going to go straight there like this? What if we get shot down?"

Himeko took a sip of her coffee: "Send a friendly communication request, indicating that we are merely travelers and observers. Let's see their reaction."

Star Core Hunter

A stealthy small spaceship glided like a ghost, silently infiltrating the outer reaches of the solar system by using cosmic dust belts and gravitational shadows.

"Silver Wolf, block all unnecessary signal sources."

“It’s all sorted out, Kafka. The network security here…tsk, interesting, not the usual technology.” Silver Wolf’s fingers flew across the virtual keyboard, his eyes gleaming with the anticipation of a challenge.

Chapter 274 The Result

Ren held the broken sword, closed his eyes to rest, but the aura emanating from his body was like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath.

Fireflies sat quietly in the corner, seemingly sensing something.

Kafka looked out the window at the planet that was getting closer and closer, shrouded in a strange force field, and said softly, "Elio said to merge into chaos... I hope this time, the script won't be too bad."

Temporary base of the fairy ship

Under the leadership of Marshal Hua and Jing Yuan, a group of engineers from the celestial ships and cloud cavalry who had arrived earlier began their work. Using the basic materials provided by the dimensional city and their own technology, they started to build temporary camps and fortifications on a designated floating continent.
