章 573: A Choice

As the darkness faded away, Alex was greeted by a vast, stretching expanse of darkness, a place that was home to the Realm Ruler. However, he quickly realized that he was not in the same place he had previously visited multiple times.

What he saw was the dark void of space expanding for as far as his eyes could see. There were no stars, only a massive disk of light that revolved in a circle at an unimaginable speed, illuminating the surroundings.

At the center of this luminous disk was a peculiar anomaly, an ominous hole in space that defied all reason, a swirling vortex, an abyss of infinite darkness, which Alex instantly recognized unmistakably as a massive black hole.

The space giant loomed far in the distance, yet its immense size made it feel impossibly close. Its presence was overwhelming as if one could sense both the searing heat and biting cold it radiated and feel the force of its gravitational pull.
