Chapter 1011: Judgment Day
New York, the top floor of Stark Tower.
Tony clutched a half-full glass of whiskey. The liquor had spilled all over the floor, but he showed no reaction at all.
The genius merely stared blankly at the sky.
Beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, New York's neon lights were going out in swathes.
Not just New York—electromagnetic communications across the globe had completely collapsed within those few seconds.
Coming back to his senses, Tony brought up a holographic projection.
It was the final image transmitted by a Stark Industries private low-orbit satellite before it lost contact completely.
"F***! What the hell is that?"
Tony's eyelids twitched as he cursed outright.
In the projection, a face too vast to describe with any conventional unit of measurement filled Earth's entire orbit.
Dark crimson armor covered its surface. Six enormous glowing eyes hung in low orbit, coldly watching Earth.
"Sir, the spectral frequency analysis results are in."
Friday's voice carried a faint crackle of static. "The target's mass cannot be estimated. Its surface material density—preliminary estimates indicate that it exceeds that of a neutron star."
Tony slammed his glass onto the bar, cracking its base.
This defied the laws of physics.
If that thing's density truly exceeded that of a neutron star, its gravitational field should have torn Earth to pieces long ago, rather than quietly hovering in low orbit like some gigantic figurine.
Even he had no idea what the thing was, at least not right away.
In other words, this was an existence beyond humanity—
Elsewhere, in space, in Arishem's palm.
Harry stared blankly at the scene around him.
One second ago, warm metal seabed had been beneath his feet.
The next, the air around him had been instantly drained away, and absolute weightlessness enveloped his entire body.
