Gem World.
It was controlled by the Gemstone Clan, a civilization subordinate to the Infinite Divine Machine.
The Gemstone Clan were gemstone life-forms, a hybrid of semi-silicon and semi-carbon-based life. They possessed exceptionally long lifespans, and their intelligence continued to grow with the passage of time. They were a species with considerable potential.
After the Infinite Divine Machine conquered Gem World, its strategic plans changed.
The Infinite Divine Machine directly offered the inhabitants of Gem World a chance to surrender.
The Gemstone Clan living in Gem World quickly chose to submit, offering little resistance.
Thanks to their exceptionally long lifespans and extremely low birth rate, the Gemstone Clan had never developed anything beyond a tribal society.
Confronted with conquest by a powerful force, the Gemstone Clan—who had no concept of nations or civilizations—felt no shame in surrendering. Instead, they felt fortunate.
Being conquered by such a powerful civilization and taken in as a subordinate civilization was a blessing for the entire Gemstone Clan.
After their conquest, the Gemstone Clan revealed an astonishing talent when they traveled to other worlds.
They could assimilate their bodies with the land of other worlds, then extend themselves ever deeper underground and extract precious metals from within.
Thanks to this ability, the Gemstone Clan became an important part of the Infinite Divine Machine's logistics.
Under these circumstances, the Gemstone Clan as a whole rose rapidly.
Later, after absorbing the technologies of other civilizations, the Gemstone Clan even gained considerable influence on the front lines.
However, there had been too little time for them to develop. Most members of the Gemstone Clan still relied primarily on battleships for combat, and very few possessed powerful individual strength.
Across Gem World, battleships and spacecraft constantly passed overhead.
The sky was filled with at least several thousand Spatial Passages.
