A star had suddenly appeared nearby. The powerful gravity it generated should have affected Saint Origin Star and the Moon Stars, yet strangely, the new star behaved like a second moon, orbiting Saint Origin Star without affecting it.
On the original moon, layers of illusions covering its surface shattered, revealing an ancient city on its far side.
