Sea of Stars Most Holy Human Empire, Capital System, Cybrex Alpha.
A ring-shaped device floated in the space beyond the Ring World. It was the Wormhole Generator reverse-engineered from Caedhes's Relic, the Wedge.
The Wedge was a key capable of opening a wormhole at a target location, while the High-Dimensional Crystals contained that location's coordinates.
Half a year after Zarqlan's return, a Wormhole Generator the size of a small Megastructure was finally completed. A force field held the pale blue High-Dimensional Crystals at the center of its ring-shaped structure.
Xi Yan's consciousness inhabited a swarm of Nanites, which coalesced into an enormous Titan battleship and stopped in front of the Wormhole Generator.
Everything was ready. The Wormhole Generator could be activated at any moment to create a route to the Azilash system in the Galactic Core.
Great Prophet Zarqlan stood inside the Citadel of Cybrex Alpha, gazing at the silver ring-shaped structure in the distance.
"The Heavenly People Empire of Faith..." he murmured, then shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Countless ages of planning, all for this moment."
A group of Nanite Fleets followed closely behind the Titan battleship, dim green lights flickering across their gray hulls. They were responsible for protecting the ship Xi Yan controlled.
Xi Yan silently issued orders through the psionics mind network, and electrical energy was transmitted across space to the ring-shaped Wormhole Generator.
The enormous apparatus read the power within the High-Dimensional Crystals and decoded the precise coordinates.
The [Wedge] had been installed inside the apparatus. Drawing on the Relic's mysterious power, the Wormhole Generator began gathering energy. Under the immense buildup, the space within the ring-shaped apparatus began to distort and collapse downward.
Energy gathered faster, and the spatial collapse intensified. In a terrifying silence, space began to emit a blue fluorescent
