Then the interlocking beams suddenly thickened.
Beam after beam converged, ultimately feeding into the large black triangular object that had lit up first.
The patterns on its surface had been completely covered by orange streams of light.
The triangular object abruptly expanded, and several bucket-thick beams shot violently from its rear!
Like a meteor, the triangular object streaked into the sky...
Toward the Black Storm region that enveloped the entire star system!
The light covering its surface grew brighter and brighter, until its original form could no longer be seen.
All that remained was an orange sphere of light crashing into the Black Storm, sending ripples spreading outward...
The connecting beams were severed.
The black triangular objects hidden throughout this region of space also dimmed and fell silent at the same time, as though their energy had been exhausted.
Beyond the vast Black Storm lay a desolate star system that hardly anyone had ever set foot in.
As always, the Black Storm scoured time and space, surging and churning along fixed trajectories.
Suddenly, in one corner of the immense storm, the black mist began to boil, faintly forming a vortex.
The black mist continued its violent scouring, yet the vortex forcibly withstood the onslaught.
The vortex suddenly exploded.
A dazzling orange light flared, shooting out from within like an electromagnetic cannonball!
The instant the orange glow flew out, the vortex was swallowed by the black mist.
The orange sphere tumbled, slowed, and gradually came to a stop...
Revealing its true form: a crystalline object no larger than a palm.
It was no more than twenty centimeters long, wide, and high.
Its outline... was unmistakably a miniature version of the thirty-meter triangular object from before.
All its armor had been stripped away, leaving only this triangular crystal radiating dazzling light.
