Chapter 310: Uncharted Zone – Eternal Darkness
Dark Plane, Uncharted Zone:

After the blinding light faded, their vision was replaced by eternal darkness.

Most of them thought it was just a momentary thing, but suddenly the sounds of danger began to echo in their ears.

“Where are we?”

“Is this already the Dark Plane?”

“Why can’t I see anything? Everyone, can you see me?”

“No! Why can’t I see? What the hell is happening?”

“No way… are we all blind?”

Although they could feel, hear, and even smell everything, their sight remained pitch black.

Not knowing what to do, they instinctively turned their eyes toward the [Communication Module].

Their leader, Nash, had told them before that if they didn’t know what to do next, they should always check it first.

Holding onto that hope, they quickly opened the [Communication Module].

[Leader: Take out all your illumination items. We’re experiencing a dark phenomenon known as the Eternal Night. Be careful of the dark beasts; they’re sensitive to light.]

Dark Phenomenon was a unique feature of the uncharted zone.

Furthermore, because they were in the deepest part of it, the phenomenon was amplified to the extreme.

Meanwhile, reading the message, they let out a collective sigh of relief.

Taking out illumination items from their storage, they finally managed to see a little around them.

However, as if suppressed by some mysterious power, the light emitted from their treasures was faint and weak, barely illuminating a few meters ahead.

Suddenly, before they could think more, as if lighting a fuse, the roars of dark beasts began to echo closer and louder.

“Oh no, this is bad!”

“The dark beasts are coming!”

“What do we do?!”

Suddenly remembering the [Communication Module], they looked at it with desperate anticipation for the next instruction.

Fortunately, they weren’t disappointed.

[Leader: Open the Map Module. Gather with those closest to you and proceed to the marked location.]

Quickly opening the [Map Module], they saw dots representing each of their positions, and a golden mark showing their target.

Forming small groups of three to five, they bolted toward the marked location.

Unfortunately, surrounded by countless dark beasts, they could barely see, some quickly fell into a dangerous situation.

This time, almost by reflex, they waited anxiously for Nash’s next instruction.

Soon, as if in complete control, he instructed them to scatter all their continuous illumination treasures around.

Lighting up the battlefield, their situation improved.

Even when some faced dark beasts they couldn’t defeat, Nash could quickly direct them toward those who could help.

Nash quickly organized everyone based on who possessed genetic abilities, combat prowess, and most importantly, dark technology.

Although most of it was only Tier 3, it still allowed them to escape or even fight back.

Especially the Spiral Behemoth, without needing conscious control, it bulldozed through the battlefield, opening a wide path.

Climbing a mountain they once thought impossible, they couldn’t help but feel exhilarated.

Slowly but surely, they marched toward the marked location, putting their blood and lives on the line.

—

Meanwhile, at the center of it all, Nash was fending off dark beasts around him while giving instructions to everyone, whether individually, by team, or by area.

Sorting through the clustered information from the [Sensing Module System] embedded within their module systems, Nash’s mind worked like a machine pushed to its limit, almost steaming from overload.

Even with over ten billion computational power, it still wasn’t enough that he needed to activate the [Overlimit Module System].

Amplifying his mind twofold, the mental load finally became manageable.

However, as if squeezing his soul’s potential, it began to tear and fray under the strain.

If Nash did nothing, within three hours his soul would shatter to pieces.

Fortunately, he had come prepared. Downing a Tier 4 perfect-quality Soul Rejuvenation Potion, the damage caused by the [Overlimit Module System] was gradually being offset.

The only problem was that such potions were incredibly rare.

After scouring the entire Solaris Domain, they had only managed to acquire a few hundred pieces.

Even Keith, the person Nash personally bought potions from, had none in reserve.

It wasn’t that the potion was hard to make, but rather that the materials were far too rare.

Without the right connections, even someone like Keith couldn’t attempt to create one, much less produce a perfect-quality version.

Wanting to save as many Soul Rejuvenation Potions as he could, Nash focused on instructing everyone to gather quickly.

Although they had been sent to the same place, they were scattered across a vast area, some even more than a thousand kilometers away.

Minute by minute, hour by hour, more people began to gather around Nash until he no longer needed to take action against the surrounding enemies.

Although the optimized [Combat Module System] could handle the dark beasts, it consumed too much computational power.

Now free from fighting, he lowered the [Overlimit Module System] by half a notch, reducing his soul amplification to 1.5 times.

Meanwhile, as he continued instructing others to regroup, Nash began organizing the fortification of their position.

From setting up defensive measures, scouting with auxiliary dark technology, to searching for nearby resource points, every task was handled with precision.

Most importantly, they started assembling the Spiral Behemoth, ten thousand Tier 4, and ten Tier 5 dark technologies.

These were their main force against the enemy.

Especially the ten Tier 5 dark technologies, each one of those destroyers cost five trillion sol, capable of wiping out a horde of lord-level dark beasts, and even fighting on equal terms with a Tier 6 dark beast.

Unfortunately, such machines could only be operated by a team of five Void Venerates.

With Natasha, Hobis, and the other Void Venerates still rescuing those farthest away, there was no one available to pilot them.

For now, they could only rely on the Spiral Behemoth, which didn’t require manual control.

Nash still hadn’t found the time to configure the [Weapon Control Module System] for the other dark technologies.

Thus, they could only depend on manual operation and direct energy input which was far too inefficient for the current situation.

Feeling fatigue build up in his body, Nash gritted his teeth and held on.

“A little more…” he muttered.
