The dense array of Antimatter Reactors aboard the Enrojet flagship began ramping up its output again.
The so-called Spatial Weapon also began operating once more.
A deep, dark fissure appeared again between the two antennas transmitting the force field.
A spatial rift!
Under the crew's control, the two antennas made minute adjustments to their orientation.
Whoosh!
Once the firing parameters had been adjusted, the thin black line broke free of the antennas' control, just as it had before, and shot straight toward Noli Star ahead!
The thin black line, rapidly extending in both directions, vanished from everyone's sight. Only high-precision spacetime fluctuation detectors could observe its presence.
Almost simultaneously.
A cloud of dust suddenly rose from the surface of the distant iron planet.
The dust belt appeared around the iron planet's equator, encircling the entire dark gray world like a belt.
A tachyon signal from the Enrojet flagship reached the Command Center.
"The spatial rift has successfully struck the target!"
A hint of delight appeared in the elderly scientist's eyes.
Hitting the target was a good sign!
At the very least, it proved that the Enroget Civilization could indeed use this "weapon" from an advanced civilization!
Now, all that remained was to see how much damage it could inflict on Noli Star!
With that thought, intense anticipation spread across their face.
"The effects are currently unknown."
"Our preliminary assessment..."
Suddenly, the report cut off.
The previously noisy Command Center fell silent at the same time.
Staring at the enormous screen ahead, the elderly scientist instinctively took half a step back.
"This..."
The Enrojet Scientist, who had devoted a lifetime to the natural sciences, uttered an exclamation unlike any they had ever made before. "God..."
The Alliance Leader stood rooted to the spot, trembling, unable to utter even a single word.
