They were just ordinary people who casually looked up at the sky, yet they glimpsed the universe, and beyond that universe, all the ultimate secrets they knew nothing about.
The Seireitei of Soul Society.
All the Shinigami and captured Quincy stood still, looking up at the sky.
"What kind of terrifying being is this?"
Toshiro Hitsugaya frowned. He could understand the power of Belcrown's "existence" from before.
After all, the Holy Cross Knights who fought them used power that was similar to a kind of rule-based power.
But now this Chaos.
Monsters from beyond the universe, primordial chaos—he simply couldn't comprehend them.
"I had thought before that there might be other worlds outside of space and time, but I never imagined that they actually existed."
"And the enemies inside are incredibly powerful!"
"A stellar-scale one!"
"Captain Yamamoto, what should we do?"
"If the real world is destroyed, will our Soul Society still exist?"
Yamamoto Genryusai's face was solemn. He had already thought about this problem when he came out of the planetary stage.
If the real world were truly destroyed and turned into cosmic dust, would the Soul Society still exist?
Does Hueco Mundo, the boundary between Soul Society and the real world, still exist?
Do the various layers of hell beneath Soul Society still exist?
I cannot answer your question.
"Because this has never happened before."
After a moment's thought, Kyoraku Shunsui, the captain of the Eighth Division, offered his own insights.
"Before this ranking was released, we didn't know that there was a real world besides Karakura Town, nor did we know about any other gods besides the Shinigami. Of course, no dead spirits from other worlds had ever entered our Soul Society."
This proves one thing.
"Our world is not connected to other worlds. Our power systems and the people in each other's worlds basically do not interact. If it weren't for the existence of the power ranking, we would probably have been defeated by Yhwach."
"So what if we say the real world disappeared?"
"I don't think our Soul Society will disappear immediately, but without new souls joining and old souls having nowhere to go, this world will eventually collapse."
"Of course, it's also possible that the Soul Society will disappear forever the moment the real world collapses."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed expressions of horror.
Even if they hide in Soul Society, they probably won't be truly safe.
"Sigh... Our strength is still too insignificant. We can't even deal with Yhwach without him asking for his own death," Kenpachi Zaraki cursed in dissatisfaction.
The other Grim Reapers shook their heads as well.
This is something that can't be helped.
Inside the Seventh District Cafe.
Golden Shadow Eve pointed to the sky again and shouted:
"Lord Lulin, I've heard of this Chaos when I was on a mission in space."
"Although its true form is an incredibly large warship, it actually possesses its own consciousness and is a supreme deity who has mastered the power of spacetime."
"I've heard that almost all the legendary gods were separated from his body."
"This is a top-tier super god in a certain field."
Everyone who heard this was deeply moved.
It turns out this strange-looking guy has quite a background.
Compared to it, the previous entries on the list are child's play.
Everyone recalled their own surprised expressions when they first heard about a city-destroying level expert.
Looking back now, I only find it funny and terrifying.
Who could have guessed that, just over ten places later, the person on the list would have already reached the terrifying stellar level of strength?
The illusion began to change.
The spacetime rift behind the asteroid belt grew larger and larger until it swallowed up the entire field of vision.
The original deep space of the universe has been replaced by endless gray spacetime gaps.
There is no dark blue here, no dazzling starlight.
Only the wildly dancing storms and lightning, and the boundless void come alive.
An eerie background music begins, its rhythmic melody making the listener feel as if they are in a dark and hopeless prison.
Everything about me is being monitored.
The extraordinary god Chaos absorbs stars as its energy source; human civilization is insignificant in its eyes, merely a consumable fuel.
It is the origin of the gods, a member of chaos, born in the universe long, long ago.
Its abilities are extremely powerful; its true form hides in the rifts of spacetime, creating 'void holes' to interfere with the development of things in other universes.

Chapter Sixty-Five: Chaos Invasion (Seeking flowers and recommendation votes)
Chaos once invaded this world, using the 'Void Hole' it created to levy a Starstrike Tax on the only planet it found, demanding a quarter of its landmass as fuel for its own operations.
However, its plan failed because the seal on the 'Void Hole' was broken.
Chaos existed before everything was born, along with night, darkness, and the vast Tartarus; it existed even before the concept of birth existed.
Even now, it harbors a deep desire to exploit planets for fuel, and given the opportunity, it will certainly continue to do so.
The presentation was accompanied by a video.
Chaos devoured planets like a wild beast, tearing them apart, dismembering them, and turning them into fuel.
A thriving civilization was wiped out.
No one had a chance to escape; they were all melted by temperatures exceeding 15 million degrees Celsius.
Fortunately, the process wasn't particularly fast, taking about five minutes.
Let life on the swallowed planet at least have time to feel fear.
[Power Ranking Reward: Chaos, ranked 34th, gains the ability to freely create 'Void Holes'.]
[Family Reward: Chaos's Families can devour the cores of planets and convert them into their own power. A planet whose core is devoured will die, gradually crumbling into countless fragments of cosmic meteorite within a hundred years.]
Chaos's introduction is now complete.
The illusion in the sky suddenly dissipated.
Life throughout the galaxy was still gripped by the fear brought by Chaos.
Compared to the previous ambiguous and powerful figures who were neither entirely good nor evil, this one is a thoroughly evil force.
They treat civilization and planets entirely as fuel.
As for pity or anything like that, when you eat eggs, do you ever consider the chicken's feelings?
The weak have absolutely no rights in the face of the strong.
They can only wait to be dealt with.
In comparison, Yhwach and Kaguya Otsutsuki became complete laughingstocks.
"Tax the planet? Confiscate a quarter of its landmass?"
"If a planet loses a quarter of its volume, can it still be the same as before?"
"Furthermore, the countless lives lost on it will cause the planet itself to deviate from its original orbit."
"Life is a product of a specific time and a specific environment, and it cannot tolerate the slightest difference."
"A planet that has deviated from its original orbit is destined only for destruction."
"This is terrifying. Compared to the previous Belcouros, this Belcouros seems relatively mild. Although he doesn't care about life, at least he doesn't target us."
"This Chaos actually targets planets with life."
"If Chaos were to attack our planet now, I'm afraid none of you here would survive."
"Wait, there's something wrong with the power ranking reward Chaos received."
When people realize this.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the middle of the sky during the day.
This crack appears extremely far away, but its volume is much larger than the sun.
Before people could react, the crack had already covered three-quarters of the sky.
Both the sun and the planets were completely obscured.
Golden light emanating from the crack enveloped the entire planet.
The next moment, a huge object resembling an eye suddenly appeared from within the gray crack.
Its shape and appearance are exactly the same as the one that was just revealed on the combat power ranking.
Except for the fact that this one's eyes are a strange purplish-red color, which is slightly different from the black in the fantasy depiction.
Of course, this also led to the fact that the differences between Yi Qi's private affairs and the group were almost completely ignored by everyone.
Because this eye is growing larger and larger, it is flying out of the "void hole" at an extremely fast speed, approaching their planet.
Only then did people finally realize what had happened.
Chaos, having received a reward from the leaderboard, now intends to invade their planet.
