Immediately afterward, the large screen in the Galactic Council chamber began playing footage of the tragedy that had just occurred in the Shi'ar Empire's Feather Star system.
At first, Earth and the other warships and planets crammed together had remained peacefully in place. The scene was somewhat absurd, but at least no one had actually been hurt. Then things changed very quickly.
A portal opened in the sky above Earth, and a gray satellite was dragged out of it. The watching Shi'ar fleet commanders were puzzled. Their ships' scanners showed that it was an ordinary satellite, small in size and nothing special. Why had Earth suddenly brought over a satellite?
They had vaguely heard of the Earth-Moon System—the system of Earth and the Moon—which often appeared in their astronomy and cosmology textbooks. It was an extraordinarily precise and perfect system, practically a masterpiece of God. Not only did Earth and the Moon complement each other, they also coordinated perfectly with the sun, creating the aesthetic beauty of sunrise and moonset. There were very few celestial systems like this in the universe, and even fewer that could become the homeworlds of civilizations.
Seeing the other side drag over its own Moon, they assumed it was needed to stabilize Earth's tidal system. Then, in the next second, Magneto made a gesture, and the Moon began spinning wildly around Earth, faster and faster, faster and faster...
Then, with a whoosh, it smashed straight toward them.
