Giant Turtle Rock Platform quickly rose from the sea and soon reached the vicinity of Aio's synchronous orbit.
Traces of the earlier catastrophe still remained: large quantities of bizarre ice fragments and chunks of rock churned up from the seafloor, along with floating wreckage that densely filled a vast area of space. Eva hadn't been able to pull everything she had dragged into space back into the sea, and these remnants were an eternal memorial to her rampage. According to the Data Terminal's calculations, the ice, rocks, and metal floating in space would drift for tens of thousands of years before eventually forming a small ring. If Aio ever evolved a new Intelligent Life, they would surely study this ring around their home planet with great curiosity, wondering what it was.
Hao Ren had the Data Terminal control the ship as it nimbly made its way through the wreckage. Several huge black Crystalline Bodies flashed past the ship at high speed. These Crystalline Bodies were the black warship that had been blown apart earlier.
"This is it." The Data Terminal brought the ship to a stop in front of an especially huge piece of wreckage. "The largest remaining section, and it has a complete framework. Radar scans show an enclosed space inside. This unit thinks it might hold a surprise."
Giant Turtle Rock Platform slowly circled the wreckage. The latter was two or three kilometers long and seemed to be an intact section from the rear of the black warship. Both ends had been blasted apart with remarkable neatness, suggesting that this section had some special purpose and had therefore been fitted with two fragile rings designed to break easily. The exterior of the wreckage had originally been fitted with some black crystal panels shaped like sails, but now only
