At those words, Zheng Jinren instantly froze in place.
That was right!
He had been so stunned by the monster's terrifying gravity and tidal forces that he had completely overlooked this most basic mathematical problem!
An ice giant had enough volume to hold hundreds or even thousands of moons.
Even if this monster had only swallowed a single ordinary planet before, the body formed from that merger could never have been a mere 3,400 kilometers or so in diameter!
"Well..."
Zheng Jinren opened his mouth, racking his brains. His mind raced, but he could find no reasonable explanation.
Where had all the planetary matter it had eaten gone?
Surely it couldn't have vanished into thin air?
Just as the two of them were puzzling over it-
"Report!" a communications soldier stood and called out.
"Watcher has sent over the latest intercepted deep-space optical video!"
His fingers flew across the keys as he immediately projected the video onto the hall's main screen.
"This footage was taken by the Kona Civilization's satellite closest to the Tenth Planet!"
Lin Mo and Zheng Jinren both looked up at the large screen.
The footage was somewhat blurry at first, filled with intense radiation noise.
As the camera kept zooming in and adjusting its focus, an enormous gray-white celestial body filled the entire field of view against the dark backdrop of space.
It was the Tenth Planet.
But by now, it had long since lost its original spherical shape. Instead, like a lump of dough seized hard at one corner by a giant hand, it had been forcibly stretched into an "egg"!
And attached to the very tip of that enormous "egg" was a little pitch-black sphere.
That little sphere was the Planet Devourer.
Against the enormous Tenth Planet, its moon-sized body looked utterly minuscule.
The
