Chapter 1120: Chapter 1115: Marvellous 2_1 Chapter 1120 -1115: Marvellous 2_1 Finn Lewis knew that this black entity was devouring the star.
The material of the star was constantly being swallowed by the powerful gravity of the black entity, drawing it out into a comet-like tail.
Furthermore, due to the powerful gravity of the black entity, not even photons could escape its grasp, which meant there was no backscatter of light; hence the human eye naturally could not detect it.
Thus, they faced the current situation where a star, no smaller in volume than the Sun, was a mere 20 million kilometers away, yet they couldn’t see anything.
It was as if there was nothing but darkness there, and everyone, including Finn Lewis, gasped in shock.
They all felt a sense of fear because this meant that their previous judgment was completely wrong.
It seemed as though there was nothing there, and had they not activated any detectors, there was a chance they could have collided with a star without even realizing it.
...
By that point, there would be no chance of escape.
Although Finn and his crew had the most advanced warship, even the most advanced vessel couldn’t enter a star without sustaining damage; it was simply impossible.
Therefore, everyone felt a pang of fear, knowing that any warship that entered the vicinity of a star faced only one outcome, let alone a raging one.
The very things that the star ejected simply couldn’t be withstood by a warship, so it could only be said that they were lucky.
At the same time, everyone’s complexion didn’t look good because the star was only 20 million kilometers from them.
20 million kilometers might seem terrifyingly far on a planetary surface, but in the vastness of space, it was extremely close—practically within arm’s reach.
The faces of all present darkened at the thought, as 20 million kilometers was almost impossibly near.
Moreover, at this 20 million kilometers distance, the intense gravity wouldn’t even let photons escape, trapping the light.
Yet in their location, it seemed like a peaceful expanse of space with hardly any abnormalities, where gravity appeared to be normal.
“Did we scan the surrounding environment?” Finn asked with a serious expression.
Sekata Brown and the others had already shared the findings here, so it was clear that warnings were raised.
Nonetheless, everyone found the situation eerie.
Gravity wasn’t something you could just have or not have by whim—it wasn’t like how artillery shells could attack a range.
“The scan has been completed.
The gravity around us is completely normal, but the range we’re currently detecting is very limited,” someone immediately reported.
“Launch detection satellites in the direction of that star and determine the full extent of the gravity affected area,” Finn immediately commanded.
“Yes, Your Highness.”
Following Finn’s order, several detection satellites were immediately released and set off towards the star.
All eyes were on these satellites.
The satellites flew swiftly; 20 million kilometers could be covered in just over ten minutes.
However, before reaching the 20 million kilometers, the satellites produced results around 12 million kilometers from Finn and his team. 𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝒸𝓸𝓶
At this point, one of the satellites abruptly started to speed up, an indication that it had clearly entered the gravitational range of the black entity, well beyond any normal acceleration.
“We’ve entered the gravity range; gravitational readings are abnormal, and our propulsion system has become ineffective,” the warship crew below advised, prompting a nod from Finn, acknowledging the situation.
At that moment, the satellite’s speed continued to increase rapidly, quickly approaching the speed of light, and as it was subjected to the immense gravity, it stretched into fragments and soon lost contact with Finn and his team.
