Tonight, no one would be sleeping.
All across New Atlas, people left their homes and gathered outside, staring up at the sky.
On the rooftop of the Commander's Residence, the Fallen Star Squad watched with equally grave expressions.
Everyone waited in silence.

Under their tense gazes, the nine stars of the Nine-Star Dipper slowly appeared. Alongside them came another star, glowing bloodred.
The Crimson Star.
The sight of that strange yet familiar star drew a collective sigh. What had to come had finally arrived.
As The Crimson Star appeared, spatial fluctuations rippled across the Earth. Dimensional rifts began opening one after another.
In countless worlds, hordes of Void Realm creatures had already gathered at the passage entrances, eagerly watching them take shape.
The first time the passages opened, they had been completely unprepared and could only send advance parties to investigate.
This time was different.
