Some watched in admiration, some howled in grief, some rejoiced, and some mourned the suffering of others.
The destruction of nearly half the stars abruptly brought the Andromeda Galaxy, silent for two hundred thousand years, to life.
Two hundred thousand years later, the Fallen Civilizations once again turned their eyes toward the vast starry sky. The advanced civilizations that knew what had happened loudly praised the Heavenly Maiden Civilization's nobility and benevolence. It was their interception efforts that had kept their own civilizations safe. At the same time, they condemned The Great Voyage Organization from the Milky Way Galaxy, recording in their histories that all civilizations from the Milky Way Galaxy were Evil Civilizations.
Civilizations that did not know what had happened but had somehow survived also aimed their detectors at the stars, dispatching every probe they could spare to investigate what exactly had happened in this expanse of space.
Even more civilizations perished in this disaster.
The Great Voyage Organization's actions affected more than just the civilizations within the Andromeda Galaxy. They would also damage the galaxy's stable gravitational structure. Although The Great Voyage Organization's strikes had been highly evenly distributed, the Heavenly Maiden Civilization's interceptions had not been. As a result, more stars had been destroyed in some regions and fewer in others.
Thus, the Andromeda Galaxy's stable gravitational structure was naturally destroyed.
Of course, this did not mean that a starfield lost all gravitational effects after its stars were destroyed. It meant that the region lost its star-centered gravitational effects and instead became subject to broad gravitational effects centered around vast nebulae.
Scattered gravity would alter the Andromeda Galaxy's original spiral-arm structure. After this, it would no longer have nine spiral arms. How many it would have, and what the entire galaxy would become, would have to
