Kepler-452c.
The gray iron planet quietly followed its orbit.
Stellar winds from the primary star swept silently across its airless surface, stirring up tiny fragments of debris.
Universal gravitation tugged it along, repeating the same motion day after day-a motion it had maintained for billions of years.
Without outside interference, it could continue for billions more.
Around it, hundreds of enormous starships formed a perfect hollow sphere.
The Antimatter Engines at their sterns glowed faintly, keeping them in position.
In the light of the primary star, the starships' hulls shone with a brilliant metallic luster.
Clearly, they were all brand-new, fresh off the production line.
Suddenly, the Antimatter Engines at the sterns of those hundreds of starships began to glow brighter.
From the surface of Kepler-452c, it seemed as though hundreds of dazzling suns had appeared in the silent night sky in an instant!
The Gravitational Field Generation Devices began operating.
Under Zero's precise calculations, the combined Gravity Shield generated by hundreds of [Golden Crow] battleships slowly took shape.
Unlike the Gravity Shields surrounding the starships, this shield faced the opposite direction-it was designed to guard against "attacks" from within.
As the Gravity Shield grew stronger, an enormous red-and-black starship slowly approached from afar, filling the last gap in the shield.
"It's starting!"
Wang Man glanced at the data in the Holographic Projection beside him, his expression instantly brightening with excitement. "The Gravity Shield is complete. Next comes firing the planet-busting cannon!"
The moment he finished speaking, a faint purple glow began to gather at the muzzle of the [Vermilion Bird] Planet-Busting Starship's cannon.
As energy accumulated, the purple glow at the cannon's muzzle intensified.
Gradually, the purple light outshone the glow of the Antimatter Engines at the starships' sterns, and even the light of the distant star.
