Almost no one present had ever heard of the Shengdun 12 system, but they could roughly estimate how long the journey would take.
Lion's Den Fortress was also near the galactic core, on the border of the Extreme Frontier Sector. Even aboard the fastest shuttles and high-speed warships, the trip from Luyuan would take at least a week. By that estimate, reaching the Shengdun 12 system should take about the same amount of time.
But according to what that fellow had just said, they had made it there in only three days?
There were other questions, too. This torrent of rainbow light looked like a mass of energy. It was moving at a speed infinitesimally close to light, but it still wasn't light. And even light would take years to travel from Luyuan to the distant edge of the galactic core.
So had it reached its destination through a warp tunnel?
But energy had no mass, so how could it pass through a tunnel formed by a gravity well?
...Well, theoretically, energy and mass were two sides of the same coin. Theoretically, even light had mass. But they had no "rest" mass, and were ultimately different from the matter that ordinary people understood.
The more educated the officers and reporters from the various nations were, the more they felt their minds failing them. Those with less education, on the other hand, could watch the unprecedented sight before them as true outsiders.
By then, the rainbow-colored mass of light had crossed the skies of the Shengdun 12 system. Like an arrow shot by a god, it viciously plunged into the star, which had been flashing white.
The sun of Shengdun 12 truly seemed like a person struck by an arrow. It shuddered violently in an instant. Though its white light swallowed
