Elisa returned to her humanoid form and teleported beside Solanky. Together, they vanished from the infinite source space and reappeared at the borders of the Void Region, the domain where the calamitous beings resided.
The moment they arrived, Solanky heard the voice of his Supremo body within his consciousness.
"Within this section of the Void Region, there are ninety-five Entity-level calamitous beings. Five of them are mid-stage Entities, with power ranging from fifty thousand to seventy thousand times that of an average Infinite Source God. They are the strongest beings in this region and reside deep within the Void."
"There are also twenty peak early-stage Entity-level beings. The strongest among them possesses power equivalent to forty-nine thousand times that of an average Infinite Source God. The remaining ones are insignificant."
"With your current strength of sixty-five thousand times, even without your source-defying armor or flames, these calamitous Entities pose no threat to you. However, they remain extremely dangerous to Elisa. At the same time, they present the greatest opportunity for her. If she devours their bodies and life cores before refining them, she can bypass the Infinite Source God realm entirely and break through her current bottleneck."
Solanky waved his hand.
A small independent world appeared, gently enveloping Elisa before storing her within it.
She offered no resistance.
Having complete trust in Solanky, she knew this region was far too dangerous for someone below the Entity Realm to remain in for long.
Solanky smiled.
"Don't worry," he said. "I'm going to help you break through the bottleneck that's keeping you at the Perfect Source God realm. Just sit back and enjoy the show."
Inside the independent world, Elisa could clearly observe everything occurring outside. Solanky had connected her vision to the outside world, making it feel as though she were watching events unfold through an enormous virtual projection.
Elisa casually waved her hand.
Fragments of space gathered together, forming a luxurious reclining chair.
In her humanoid form, she lay back comfortably before snapping her fingers.
A bowl filled with crystal-clear ice cubes appeared beside her.
Those "ice cubes" were actually fragments of the Ice Hawk Emperor's life core that she had harvested earlier.
She lazily picked one up, tossed it into the air, and caught it in her mouth.
"Ahhh..."
"This is the life I deserve."
"Once this trip is over, I'm finding a peaceful planet in the lower realm and taking a long vacation away from all this cosmic and multiversal drama."
Watching her carefree behavior, Solanky simply shook his head with a helpless smile.
"Even after becoming this powerful," he muttered, "she's still as playful as ever."
He continued deeper into the Void Region.
Along the way, countless shattered infinite source worlds drifted silently through the darkness.
Broken suits of armor, once belonging to Infinite Source Gods who had died defending their worlds, floated endlessly among the ruins.
The sight filled Solanky with rage.
Every infinite source world contained tens of millions of source worlds, each nurturing billions of universes overflowing with life.
Now, all of them had been reduced to lifeless ruins.
His calm descent instantly transformed into a merciless advance.
With every step he took deeper into the Void Region, his speed increased.
The overwhelming pressure radiating from his body crushed every calamitous being below the Entity Realm within a radius of one billion light-years.
They exploded into nothingness before they even realized what had happened.
At the level of an Entity, all the laws governing a billion light-years of the infinite source space and the Void Region bent beneath one's will.
Time, space, matter, causality, and every law below the Beyond Realm became tools that could be manipulated at will.
A handful of surviving calamitous beings received distress signals from their fallen companions and immediately fled deeper into the Void Region to warn their ancestors of the approaching catastrophe.
One of those ancestors, a newly ascended Entity-level calamitous being whose strength reached fifteen thousand times that of an average Infinite Source God, immediately rushed out from her cave, which rested upon a massive floating rock fragment.
The frightened messengers instantly knelt.
"Greetings, Ninety-Fifth Ancestor."
She barely acknowledged them.
"Where is this arrogant intruder?" she asked coldly.
Although her true form was far more terrifying, she currently appeared as a woman with long crimson-and-black hair.
Even this humanoid form carried enough pressure to suppress any being below the Entity Realm.
Having recently broken through to become an Entity herself, she eagerly rushed toward Solanky, intending to test her newfound strength.
However, her excitement vanished almost immediately.
Even from a billion light-years away, she could already sense the terrifying pressure emanating from Solanky.
That pressure far surpassed the vast majority of Entity-level beings she had ever encountered.
Without a second thought, she abandoned the Void Region altogether.
She teleported to a remote corner of the infinite source space before sighing bitterly.
"It seems a true calamity has descended upon our race."
"I don't believe anyone here will survive this disaster."
"Even the five Grand Ancestors cannot guarantee their safety."
She laughed softly at the irony.
"Who would have imagined that one day the calamitous race itself would face a calamity?"
"I'll suppress my aura and blend into the civilizations of the infinite source space... or perhaps I should ascend to the Beyond Realm instead. If I can increase my strength there, then the next time I return, my survival will at least be guaranteed."
She nodded to herself.
"The Beyond Realm it is."
With that, she disappeared once more, heading toward the barrier leading into the Beyond Realm.
...
As Solanky continued advancing, more Entity-level calamitous beings received news of his massacre.
Determined to eliminate the threat before it reached the heart of the Void Region, they united.
Soon, fifty early-stage Entity-level calamitous beings gathered at the entrance to the deeper regions, forming an enormous defensive line with their colossal bodies.
Seeing them, Solanky smiled inwardly.
He transmitted his voice to Elisa.
"Every one of them will become your meal after we're finished here. Then we'll search for the true ancestors... and the seven-headed serpent that escaped."
Inside the independent world, Elisa's eyes sparkled with excitement.
After tasting the Ice Hawk Emperor's life core, she had developed quite an appetite.
The thought of devouring Entity-level calamitous beings made her even more eager.
By now, Solanky's observation technique operated continuously without conscious effort.
With a single glance, he discerned the exact strength of each of the fifty Entities.
He immediately identified every weakness hidden within their colossal bodies and calculated the most efficient methods to exploit them.
Standing before those towering monsters, Solanky appeared no larger than an ant facing a fleet of mountains.
However, he deliberately suppressed his aura to only thirty-five thousand times the strength of an average Infinite Source God.
Exactly as he expected, their pride became their downfall.
Believing they vastly outnumbered him, the fifty Entity-level calamitous beings rushed forward together, each hoping to personally kill Solanky and earn the admiration of the weaker calamitous race, as well as the recognition of the five powerful mid-stage Entity Grand Ancestors.
Their enormous bodies charged across the Void Region with overwhelming momentum.
Solanky smiled coldly.
The strongest among them possessed strength equal to forty thousand Infinite Source Gods.
They continued advancing until they entered a radius of five hundred million light-years around him.
Only then did Solanky speak.
"Since all of you are in such a hurry..."
"...let the massacre begin."
The instant those words left his mouth, the aura he had been suppressing erupted completely.
His true strength exploded to sixty-five thousand times the power of an average Infinite Source God.
At the same moment, he condensed and sealed the surrounding Void across a radius of one billion light-years.
With his current strength, none of the early-stage Entity-level calamitous beings possessed the ability to escape a Void Lock.
For the first time, all fifty Entities felt genuine terror.
They immediately realized that the being before them was not an early-stage Entity at all.
He was a mid-stage Entity who had mastered the incomparably difficult technique of locking the Void itself, a feat far more profound than merely sealing space.
