"I don't know if you're from the Void or somewhere else, but this brand of candy is really tasty, have some."

"Oh, thank you."

The girl's eyes lit up as she picked up the milk candy from his palm:

"Little White Rabbit Milk Candy, just hearing the name makes it sound delicious."

The girl unwrapped the paper, picked up the milk candy, and tossed it into her mouth. After carefully chewing twice, her silver eyes instantly sparkled:

"Wow, this is really good. It melts in your mouth but retains a chewy texture, the milk flavor is rich and has a sweet, smooth taste. I haven't had such a delicious substance in ages!"

Substance? This child really doesn't use the right words.

But because of this, Du Zexin thought the girl seemed even less threatening.

"Right? It's a pity this brand of milk candy has to be imported from the Layer Abyss, it's really hard to set up a food factory in a place like the Void."

Du Zexin chuckled, patting the girl's head:

"If you want to eat this brand, you'll have to go buy it from a member country of the Obliteration Sanctum."

"Thank you for the candy, I'm really happy."

The girl squinted her eyes, smiling:

"Oh, by the way, I still haven't told you my name, have I?"

Du Zexin smirked: "It doesn't matter, just a chance meeting..."

"I'm Gaia."

The girl raised her hand from Charlgarnia's shoulder, and the latter's figure instantly shattered into fragments of light, drifting away with the wind, leaving only silence across the table.

Silence.

Time instantly transformed into eternity, countless thoughts swirling within everyone's minds, unable to converge into a clear answer.

And after this brief silence, it was the girl herself who broke it.

"[Secret Society] Gaia."

————————Boom!

The roof shattered.

The girl's jet-black hair rose with the wind, the Blade of the [Twilight Duke] descended from the sky, slicing three inches in front of the girl claiming to be 'Gaia'.

Gaia glanced at the shiny blade, the Void Energy wrapped around it gradually fading away.

She calmly said:

"You can only reach this point, nothing beyond."

"Gaia!"

[Twilight Duke] Ira Dasko roared:

"Why—are you here?!"

"According to the pact, you should stay at the border of the Primordial Abyss, sealing the passages between the Primordial Abyss and the Nether Abyss."

"For five thousand years, hasn't it always been this way for you?"

"Now you're surfacing into the Void, what is your purpose—"

Gaia raised her eyes:

"Noisy."

In the next moment, the body of [Twilight Duke] Ira Dasko exploded and collapsed, every atom randomly scattered across different cosmic dimensions.

Thus, the leader of the Void, who held the Mysterious Chief God Divinity, the Eighth Pathway of the Starry Abyss [Void]'s Quasi-Supreme God, [Twilight Duke] Ira Dasko, fell silent forever.

[Sharpen Teeth and Claws]

[White Knight] instantly lashed out, the blade brushing past his knuckles, but just as he leaped up, in mid-air, he was struck in the waist by a pitch-black shield, sending him flying.

"Ugh—cough!"

[White Knight] Yamo Knight fell to the ground, the vitality of the Ether Blood within him began to plummet rapidly, his appearance visibly aging, soon transforming into a decrepit old man.

"A traitor who defies Mother, it's only natural to have his Strength reclaimed."

The shield spun once and returned to the thrower's hand, Yamo's gaze lowered, looking at the owner of the shield.

"[Black Knight] Gretto Yegg."

The aged Yamo Knight squinted his eyes:

"Yegg... so you're the descendant of Gandok Nightingale?"

Gretto did not respond directly, instead, he said:

"It's said my ancestor also defeated a [White Knight] once, but for various reasons, couldn't fulfill that old wish. Today, the chance to unite the Black and White Knights is finally before me."

He said, slowly approaching.

"Any last words, White Knight?"

"... There's no need."

Yamo lay on the ground, his gaze calmly watching the black-haired silver-eyed girl.

Gaia didn't glance at him, as if she never noticed his existence.

He positioned himself in front of Yamo Knight, raised the shield, and mercilessly smashed it down on Yamo's head.

Blood and brains splattered, Gaia never looked once.

Behind her, vortices formed by silver-white radiance opened one after another.

Aside from [Blacksmith], [Tailor], and [Player], 10 Hidden Councilors deployed around Gaia.

"Why... is it like this?"

Du Zexin couldn't express the shock within his heart.

All this, too sudden.

"Such powerful Gaia, why invade the newly established Primordial Abyss Federation with national strength, this simply... is incomprehensible."

"It's very simple."

Gaia looked at Du Zexin, smiling:

"In the future, I will be defeated by the Primordial Abyss Federation led by Leoz."

"So, I just came now to kill you all."

"What's with that expression? Why do you think everything has to be like a game, only allowing you to march forward, levelling up, ultimately facing the final BOSS, and the final BOSS must foolishly stand there, waiting for the Hero with full Godly Equipment, perfect Technology, and steady mindset to come and die?"
