The outer region of Universe Boat, one of the three greatest dangers of the Universe Sea.
Figure after figure stood scattered about, several thousand in all, gazing at Universe Boat from afar within the outer region.
"I wonder if Universe Boat can withstand it."
"Universe Boat is tens of millions of light-years wide and high, and over a hundred million light-years long. It can only be said to be comparable in size to that colossal object. That thing is moving so terrifyingly fast—if it hits head-on, won't it send Universe Boat flying?"
"Let's hope it can stop it."
Several thousand experts had arrived here in advance, all waiting for the colossal object to crash into Universe Boat. Yet they could not help worrying. Universe Boat would certainly slow the colossal object down, but what if it merely reduced its speed somewhat without stopping it? What then?
What was the point of reducing its speed from two hundred million times the speed of light to fifty million, or thirty million times the speed of light? As long as it did not stop, as long as it was still moving at ten million times the speed of light, no one would be able to obtain the treasures hidden within that enormous humanoid body.
"Let it succeed."
"If it fails, we can only do our best to alter its course again."
"It has to succeed."
One after another, they silently prayed.
They had all come here ahead of time to await the outcome of the collision between the enormous body and Universe Boat. Although they had already calculated when the body would strike Universe Boat, they still could not set their minds at ease. They would rather sit here and wait idly than leave and return when the time came.
