For a moment, everything was dark under Ace's astounded expression and racing heart!
Thereafter, the entire blackened world began to move. The dome above began to distort. The terminals flickered and dissolved into streams of energy.
The vast crystalline ground cracked, not into ruin, but into flowing fragments of light and shadow, and the honeycomb collapsed inward.
In actuality, the world wasn't getting destroyed, but it was being absorbed as if drawn into something far greater, like a bottomless abyss!
Ace could literally feel that the Thief's Space had been opened and was emitting a powerful suction force unlike anything he had ever felt, and the Central Repository flowed into it!
But it wasn't just the Central Repository; it was everything, including the honeycomb structure, the countless treasures, the eighty-one terminals, and the spatial framework itself; nothing was left behind as the entire independent world was annexed!
