Why Are You Mechanics All So Unlucky?

A dazzling Fire Meteor streaked across the veil of the Dark Star Territory like a conspicuous scar etched into the starry sky.

Compared to ordinary space, the Dark Star Territory was far more distorted. Even setting aside its frequent bizarre phenomena and chaotic magnetic fields, the treacherous and lethal "Star Tides" drifting through space alone made it completely unfit for any living creature to survive.

The uneven mass distribution disrupted the curtain of space. From afar, the Fire Meteor's trajectory seemed to dart wildly in every direction through the universe, moving in utterly chaotic disorder.

Yet for the person involved, he was merely repeating one thing: falling!

Bang! Katon slammed the panel and clicked his tongue.

—Misjudged it.

Meowzi's warning made Katon grit his teeth.

"Why is there gravity in space? Damn it, does even the universe have to restrain freedom?!"

No, that was not it.

Katon Lieutenant Colonel immediately realized:

Everyone knew that the Dark Star Territory was fraught with danger, but the disasters in each different Dark Star Territory were basically fixed.

In other words, that guy had known about the gravitational anomaly here in advance and had deliberately lured him in.
