"This damn thing has to be two star systems wide!"
"Those damned bug-made bastards, what did they build such a huge city for?!"
When Qin Mo and Usulan appeared inside the solar structure of the Celestial Engine, all the C'tan who had arrived early and were waiting there were discussing Commorragh's core region, which had been pulled into the Real Universe.
That place was as large as two star systems. Even the gravity of celestial bodies had been affected, but before the celestial bodies could collapse, the C'tan had stabilized them with their power.
"We can't send that part of Commorragh to before the Big Bang from within this star system." Saranoga pointed at the other half of the system, that stretch of Real Universe corroded by the Warp. "None of us can sense anything over there. We need a point of reference and an area in which to wield our power. Otherwise, we might accidentally send the surrounding star systems back to before the Big Bang, and the Reality Membrane would be completely finished."
"What about attacking it directly with the Celestial Engine?" The Chronicler suggested.
Burner immediately refuted it. "If the Celestial Engine could affect Commorragh, would we need to figure out how to strip away this part of its core? Why not just blow it up in the Webway?"
Listening to their conversation, Usulan, who had come with Qin Mo, recalled the scene in the Webway when the Celestial Engine had attacked Commorragh.
Commorragh seemed to be surrounded by something. It had no defensive effect against orbital bombardment, yet it could dissolve far greater amounts of energy.
"I'll personally enter Commorragh's core and guide you in using your power." Qin Mo interrupted the gods' discussion.
After some thought, the gods all nodded.
There was no other way.
