Witnessing the Milky Way

"Boom—whoom...!"

The twelve triangular structures around the ruins slowly unfolded, emitting a rather shrill sound.

Before the twelve triangular structures formed a matrix, the metal surface inside the ruins began to sink outward from the center in a regular pattern.

Once the shock wave dissipated,

It was likewise a sphere radiating a dark-blue light, but with a radius of about twelve kilometers—far smaller than the portal generated by the Dreadnought Fleet back then.

For the employees of the Star Killer-class Flagship, the shock was likewise much less intense.

However, the spectacular sight left the citizens of Mombasa City utterly dumbfounded. They all took out their phones to record the scene.

Moreover, Serena and the other Artificial Intelligences did not delete the photos and videos taken by the citizens online, because there was no need.
