The fate of Angel’s Venture was sealed the moment the evacuation order was issued. As the final large-scale operation concluded, a colossal, pulsating violet singularity surged forward, obliterating the planet from the stars. The relentless grasp of the Meridian Singularity consumed Angel’s Venture, revealing the true, sinister purpose of the Illuminates—total annihilation.

Angel’s Venture was consumed by the relentless grasp of the Meridian Singularity. The Illuminates, long masquerading as enlightened beings, have finally unveiled their true purpose: total annihilation.

The Galactic Map now bears the scars of Angel’s Venture, with deep fractures serving as a grim testament to the destruction wrought by Illuminate oppression. More alarmingly, Ivis, New Haven, and even Super Earth itself remain within the deadly reach of the Meridian Singularity. The fate of the galaxy now hinges on the shoulders of Super Earth’s brave warriors, who are tasked with ending the Illuminate menace, honoring their fallen comrades, and defending their homeworld.

In response to this devastating loss, the President of Super Earth has declared 24 hours of planetary mourning, a time for reflection and remembrance across the galaxy.

However, the war is far from over. The Meridian Singularity continues its ominous advance toward Super Earth, threatening more planets along its path. The upcoming operation is expected to focus on halting the abyss’s progression while countering renewed aggression from the Illuminates. The hope now rests on this second attempt to fare better than the last, as the galaxy's survival hangs in the balance.
