Quite different from how the ships had crashed after exploding inside the Star Curtain World.
In the vacuum of space, with no ground to serve as a point of reference, the two halves of the Central Civilization's starship became reference points for each other. The immense kinetic force released by the explosion inside its core sent the halves spinning in opposite directions. Their powerful centrifugal force flung countless people and supplies from within, scattering them like blossoms in the wind.
Even Fern Spirit seemed caught off guard by the sudden turn of events.
Tick, tick, tick.
The hands of the clock on Fern Spirit's body seemed to be turning a little faster.
But amid the chaos of the battlefield, it sensed something unusual. It surged against the tide, braving the lingering force of the blast, and reached the core where the Central Civilization's starship had exploded.
The violent energy currents around it easily exceeded ten thousand degrees.
Space twisted around Fern Spirit, parting the terrifying currents. As it pressed deeper, it finally discovered a mysterious Superhuman.
At that moment, however, the Superhuman was being held at bay by a modified warrior. The two were fighting in the heart of the blast zone.
The modified warrior was the renowned Posa of the Central Civilization, hailed as the foremost master of micro-level control.
Though Posa was a mid-level fifth-tier creature, she was clearly outmatched by the Superhuman. It was plain that if the Superhuman had not already been injured, and if most of its attention had not been focused on escaping—while preparing some technique that could affect the power of space and time—it would have defeated the modified warrior long ago.
There was no doubt about it: this Superhuman was Twisted, sent by Eternal Darkness to carry out the mission of Destruction.
