The battle on Amantir had erupted deep beneath the planet's surface, but the destruction it caused had already spread to the surface, raging across nearly half the planet and turning into a massive natural disaster—even from far out in space, the terrifying changes unfolding across the planet's surface remained clearly visible.
Salamander stood on the bridge of the Aier, watching the real-time footage transmitted by the external monitors alongside his First Officer. An image of Amantir hovered at the center of the holographic projection, occupying nearly three-quarters of the entire display. Everyone could clearly see that near Amantir's equator, the land was collapsing and crumpling as a whole.
That was where the Control Center was located—a massive temple that could be clearly observed from high orbit stood there. At that moment, the enormous temple had split apart down the middle. Explosions continued spreading along the temple's cracks into the surrounding complexes. Halls and temples of all sizes were shaking, because the ground beneath them was rippling like melting butter and rapidly sinking toward Earth's core, as if a black hole had appeared deep underground and was devouring the entire planet.
There was, of course, no black hole. Salamander knew the true reason for the geological collapse very well: like Agudar, a large portion of Amantir's interior was hollow. Countless incredibly sturdy crystal pillars supported the planet's outer structure while also serving as nodes in the energy network of the planetary warship. For the crust to collapse like this, something extraordinary had undoubtedly happened within the crystal pillar layer.
Salamander had received a brief message through an encrypted channel earlier. After deciphering it, he learned the general plan Hao Ren and the fairies had come up with. Thus, seeing the changes on Amantir's surface now, the Legion Commander could only stare
