A few days had passed since the galactic devastation and the empire was still calculating the extent of the damages.
The locations were now dead zones of chaotic spatial rifts unable to heal, raging storms and other celestial dangers. Hunters sent to investigate the regions couldn't venture inside.
However, cross-referencing the habitable worlds in the region with the data they had revealed a staggering loss of 56,973 out of 443,857,723 planets that were destroyed along with their stars.
The numbers sent cold shivers down the leader's spine. All that destruction and lives were gone in the blink of an eye.
It made them realize the strength and power they were so proud of was nothing in the face of absolute death. They could die without even knowing it happened.
People began to see that something was wrong. Hunters could not reach their colleagues and people could no longer reach their relatives in other star systems.
