After I asked that, even Weissmann looked at the Hivemind with relative anticipation; what would his answer be. This was something important to know because I was curious if my theory regarding Mercurius luring the Void Insect Swarm to the Astral Boundary Universe.
Artificially engineering the Universal Calamity, bringing the Astral Boundary on the verge of destruction to the point of forcing the Universal Will to create a champion to push back the Calamity, which in this case would be the Hivemind, was probably all his plan.
This would allow him to reach Tier 13 and even fuse with the entire Universe, becoming the Universe Master, a top powerhouse among the other Tier 13 experts across the Endless Void.
Mercurius was the only person capable of achieving something like this because he only had enough power and resources to create the hole in the Void Shroud through some unknown means.
"So you don't know..."
The Hivemind said silently, as it soon became more absent-minded and started calculating some possibilities before it burst out in tremendous psionic energy burst in absolute rage.
It appears that my worries were indeed in the place because its reaction was speaking for itself.
"Somebody built a Psionic Beacon in this Universe which penetrated through the Void Shroud, and it alerted all the entities of the Psionic Origin near this Universe."
When I heard that, my mood turned grim because this was worse than initially anticipated, and Weissmann next to me was the same.
The Psionic Beacon was a structure that concentrated a tremendous amount of the Psionic Energy and radiated it across space.
When I was still alive in the Solar Federation in my first life, the Immaterius Universe, there were proposals to build something like this to navigate through the Warp safely, but those were typically quelled down.
Considering the outcome of it in the Astral Boundary Universe, I wasn't that surprised.
Even then, countless people feared the consequences of releasing such a powerful psionic beacon into the Universe, what they could lure from the depths of space, from the outside of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Fortunately, we have never built that because the outcome would be very similar to this one.
Still, hearing all of this affirmed my theory that Mercurius was behind the attack of the Hivemind on the Astral Boundary, and something would be needed to be done about this and my plan to dispose of him needed to be hastened, as it seemed.
"That is indeed unfortunate."
I muttered as I saw that the Hivemind was approaching us, while with a small gesture of my hands, tens of Dawn Pillars that were all around us in the former territory in the former Taesci Territory lit up in blinding light and creating a huge plane-spanning magic circle.
Instantly several such magic circles started appearing, creating a dome with only me, Weissmann, and Hivemind in it, as it isolated everything from the outside worlds.
This dome was the result of the activation of the spell formation that we installed beforehand.
Not even seconds later, a similar spectacle occurred all around the Eternal Ancient Star Region as the outer part of the spell formation was activated and interconnected with the inner part of the spell formation, which was in the form of the dome that was enveloping the three of us.
The Hivemind was looking around curiously before it outstretched its right claw and sent a blast of pure psionic energy toward the dome. From the energy reading, I could sense that this attack could kill peak Tier 11 with just a single contact.
It could probably severely injure even average Tier 12 entities. But when the psionic blast came into contact with the Magic Circle, which was creating the dome... nothing happened.
Nothing, absolutely nothing; the Magic Circle didn't even shake, and I could sense that the Hivemind was started getting disturbed by this development.
"We didn't anticipate that, did we?"
I asked sarcastically as the Hivemind continued attacking the dome with greater and greater intensity, each time increasing the power of the psionic blast several times compared to the previous one, but nothing happened.
The spell formation stood strongly without any damage to it. Afterward, the Hivemind closed its eyes, as we were still just observing everything, because I wanted to gather more data on the enemy, and also, I wanted to enjoy its hatred and despair.
Those ones were truly wonderful feeling.
Moments later, the expression on its insectoid face morphed into a rage because it found out that it couldn't borrow the power of the collective psionic potential of the entire Swarm.
When I was designing this spell formation, I specifically focused on the part which would prevent situations like these.
Getting the power from the outside of the spell formation meant everything was cut out once the ward was activated.
After that, I could see that the Bioships and the Tier 11 experts of the Void Insect species started leaving the area, probably heading towards the locations with the Dawn Pillars that were creating the outer layer of the spell formation.
Unfortunately for them, I had each of them guarded with powerful protective wards and some of them had even Tier 11 expert presiding over them, so it would be no easy thing to achieve.
"It is pretty unfortunate that you can't use the collective psionic potential of your swarm, doesn't it?"
I mocked the Hivemind as it sent several of those psionic blasts towards me, which I effortlessly blocked with my Path The End. The greatest and most powerful trump card which then Hivemind had in its disposition was cut out from him.
If he could borrow the collective psionic potential of the entire Swarm, then it could temporarily achieve the combat prowess of the Tier 13 entity.
Still, even then, without this, the Hivemind was a fearsome opponent when it started going all out in the battle.
I still didn't use my Arcane Seal, and neither did the Weissmann as we awaited the next move from the Hivemind, so we could adjust to the combat based on the combat style that the Hivemind would implement.
The suppression from the Spell Formation still wasn't active because I had set an imaginary timer, so the suppression would be activated around ten minutes later, after the initial activation of the entire spell formation.
