Star Ocean: Starting from the Abandoned Mining Space Station

The emergence of the black hole was not expected by anyone, not even the Queen.

And the location where it appeared happened to be among the wreckage of the planet that the Queen had just crushed and was on.

The queen, who was standing nearby, frowned slightly.

While slightly avoiding the black hole, the psychic energy fluctuations released tore apart the space near the black hole, once again creating that pitch-black area that seemed capable of tearing everything apart, in order to annihilate the sudden appearance of the black hole.

Two pitch blacks that look the same but are completely different in feeling are confronting each other.

The black hole, which was not even the size of a grain of rice, was constantly devouring the crushed planetary material around it as it clashed with the dark space created by the Queen's spiritual energy, and was still growing crazily in a manner that clearly violated the normal laws of physics.

When a planet with a diameter about the same size as the Earth transforms into a black hole, the diameter of the black hole is no more than ten millimeters at most, but the diameter of the black hole that appears now has skyrocketed to thousands of meters in the process of devouring the material of these planets.

The queen was forced to distance herself from the black hole again.

And the black hole continues to grow with the amount of matter it swallows.

It can grow to almost the same size as the planet it devours.

Every bit of matter that only has a normal planetary density is being transformed into the densest matter in the universe. This situation can be said to be very strange.

The queen's originally slightly angry face became colder under the influence of the increasingly powerful black hole power, and the metallic tears in the corners of her eyes became more and more conspicuous.

She seemed to be in some kind of mental pain.

But the pain quickly turned to anger.

Another large area of ​​pitch-black space was torn out of the stomach of the black hole that had not yet completely expanded, as if it was about to completely swallow up the entire broken planet.

But just as the Queen did this, the expansion speed of the black hole once again exceeded the upper limit.

The black hole that was still expanding near the core of the broken planet completely swallowed up the broken planet almost instantly, completely transforming the planet into a black hole.

All the people who are paying attention here, whether they are psychics or ordinary people, the pictures they see and perceive instantly lose a lot of their brilliance, leaving only a whole patch of darkness.

Even if the black hole has completely swallowed up the broken planet, no new matter will enter the black hole.

Black holes also continue to expand without restriction on the scale of the original planet.

The pitch-black space surrounding the planet that the Queen tore apart was crazily squeezed by the black hole material from the inside out. The pitch-black space seemed to be filled with the black hole material, losing the property that seemed to be able to isolate and tear apart everything.

Even after breaking the Queen's restrictions, these black hole materials continued to spread in the direction of the Queen, trying to swallow the Queen into the black hole. .

The Queen seems to hate the existence of black hole matter.

She tore open the dark space again and stepped into it. The exit of the space suddenly appeared in a place that the black hole could not affect in a short time.

The Queen looked towards the original planet, now the black hole.

Around the black hole, the Empire and the remaining five level 6 psykers on standby were desperately using their psychic powers to escape from the black hole and the Queen.

The psyker's perception ability allows everyone to clearly confirm the gaze and perception of others, after realizing that the Queen seems to have some remaining strength.

The few psykers who barely escaped suddenly felt extremely frightened.

Fortunately, the Queen did not continue the pursuit.

She just tore open the dark space again, entered it and disappeared into the empire.

The sentinel array found no trace of the Queen's subsequent appearance.

She was most likely back in a vehicle that even the Sentinel Array could not detect.

And the black hole stopped expanding after the Queen disappeared. The gravity that should have swallowed the star into it did not have further bad effects. It just revolved around the star like a normal planet.

A desperate silence seemed to envelope the empire completely at this moment.

However, a voice suddenly appeared in the command center: "Save people first!"

As the words shouted by an unknown person rang out, the originally quiet command center suddenly became commotion.

He scrambled to contact the nearest garrison and immediately went to the black hole to rescue people.

There is no need to think about the destroyed Colossus and the Colossus' escort fleet. Those who died are irreparable, but at least the living ones cannot be allowed to die due to the space environment.

When people in the military department are busy.

The president who had just wanted him to gather all the psykers in the empire together to launch a final counterattack against the Queen still maintained his holographic projection.

He looked at the planet that had just turned into a black hole on the screen transmitted back by the Sentinel Array, as if he could see the bodies of the six level 6 psykers that had been swallowed up in the black hole.

He had mixed feelings in his heart.

The existing Queen's retreat will cause no further destruction and damage to the joy.

There is also the joy of being alive even after giving an order with a high probability of death in battle.

There is also the worry and fear that the Empire has now lost five psykers, and the possibility of defeating the Queen has once again decreased.

As well as doubts and expectations about the inexplicable black hole.

"This is really, the worst possible situation."

The minister glanced at the ships summoned from the command center. After discovering that Shi Qian was still alive, he told the people in the military department to turn around and hand Shi Qian over to him, and then temporarily left the somewhat turbulent command center.

He contacted the president again and asked, "What happened to you over there? Why can't you use your psychic powers?"

The president seems to have been paying attention to the situation here. When the minister asked the question, he answered immediately: "My spiritual energy is affected by the change in spatial scale."

"I don't know if it's because of the black hole or the Queen's power. Anyway, the space in that galaxy is distorted. I can't confirm the coordinates, so I can't send people there or take them away."

"From my point of view, the power of the black hole and the black space created by the Queen cannot be called space, but I just said it for the sake of understanding. These two forces are absolutely conflicting forces."

When the minister heard this, he seemed to smell something that could understand the Queen's psychic power: "What do you mean? What happened to that black space?"

The president thought about it and explained; "Let's put it this way. The black 'space' that looks similar to space does not have spatial coordinates, so it cannot be regarded as a space, but more like a completely squeezed out space. The 'nothingness' that remains."

The minister asked again: "Is the Queen's psychic power also a spatial psychic power?"

"No, absolutely not. Although the effect is very similar, it definitely cannot be the same space psychic energy as mine."

"You are the Minister of the Empire's Psychic Department. You should know very well that many different psionic developments may have similar effects in the end."

"I can't give you a specific answer. You can only rely on you to figure it out yourself."

"Understood."

Although the understanding of the Queen's power is not yet sufficient, at least this is a good start.

But judging from the current situation, even if the Empire really has an extremely deep understanding of the Queen's psychic powers, they may not be able to compete with the Queen in terms of the most intuitive power.

The minister didn't dare to think too much, so he could only sort out the information the president said and then pass it on.

"Speaking of which, how did you judge that you could summon all the psykers in the empire?"

The minister responded seriously to the president's question: "Because I found that the queen's condition is not right."

"Wu An did more things before he died. The Queen's consciousness was definitely affected by Wu An's spiritual energy."

"His psychic energy can affect any conscious creature. Even if the survivors become nanomachines, they will still be affected as long as they are conscious."

"The Queen was definitely hurt by Wu An's methods when she came over. I feel that was the empire's best and last chance."

"The remaining psykers may not be able to defeat them all if they are gathered together."

The president felt uncomfortable when he heard this.

If his reaction was faster, he might be able to pick up all the people at the moment the Queen's pursuit arrived, without any further interference.

The loss of the psyker really dealt a heavy blow to people's already low confidence.

Both of them sighed for a while.

The minister suddenly asked: "You said that black hole suddenly appeared..."

The president responded decisively at this time: "I don't believe there are such coincidences in the world. There must be a driving force behind the occurrence of some things."

"As far as I know, there is only one person in the empire who has the ability to affect the black hole, and he is just..."

"Maybe he'll be back soon."

The minister's comfort was of no use. Only facts could make the president change his mind.

The two of them did not continue to say anything more about the Queen's matter. There would be no benefit in talking more.

"So what are you going to do about black holes?"

"I will definitely arrange an investigation as soon as possible, and I will try my best to hand over the authority to the right person. This black hole should be regarded as a wonder of the universe, but I don't know if this wonder can help us win the war in the future."

"Hopefully he will."

The correspondence with the president has just ended.

The minister suddenly heard gunshots from the holographic projection he placed in the command center.

He immediately turned back to the command center and found someone lying on the ground holding a pistol in his hand, with blood and brains continuously flowing out of the hole in his temple.

The minister knows this man.

He has been in the Imperial Military for more than 20 years and can be regarded as the mainstay of the military.

So he knew exactly how powerful the Empire's army was, how powerful the Empire's psykers were, and he also saw how the Queen used to destroy their power.

He was aware of the vast gulf in power between the Empire and the Empress, and saw how it widened again in a matter of seconds.

He might have been nervous because of the Queen's arrival just now.

But now that the Queen has disappeared, his tense nerves suddenly relaxed without a slow release process. As a result, his nerves were "broken".

His confidence collapsed and he couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't know how the empire could win in front of such a queen.

So he made this choice.

"If I want to die, can I die in a better place?"

Someone cursed in a low voice, and the command center instantly resumed its previous operations.

Soon someone came, covered the body with a white cloth and carried it out.

In just a few minutes, the traces he left behind completely disappeared.

This was the first person the Minister knew to commit suicide because of what was happening to the Empire now, but it certainly wouldn't be the last.

In fact, the minister could not see clearly the future direction. He was also confused and desperate.

Even his despair was stronger than anyone else's.

The Queen was injured after her arrival, which was the last chance he could see, but this chance had been missed.

But he would not do the most extreme behavior, he had to continue trying in desperation.

"Alas..."

The news about the Queen spread quickly in the empire.

Especially the extremely panicking news that the Queen suddenly appeared and destroyed the planet where eleven psychics in the empire were located with thunder and killed six of them.

On the other hand, Chen Ming's colony learned this information almost simultaneously through the afterglow that Chen Ming had left in the empire before.

Huihuang immediately convened a regular meeting of the management to explain this matter.

Their colony might really be the last hope of mankind.

Tian Zhan suddenly thought of something.

He took out his terminal and looked through a document he had specially saved before.

Half of the content of this document was various records of the planet where he had tested the tolerance of Gaia plants in extreme environments before.

This planet was exactly where Chen Ming disappeared last.

The other half of the file records the things that were like cosmic tumors left after the planet was transformed.

Tian Zhan has been going to that planet regularly, so the contents recorded in the file have been added.

Although it is impossible to conduct a deep exploration of the interior of this thing, any psychic who approaches can clearly sense that the power of scarlet and phase is restricted in it.

There are even other powers running in it, this power...

Tian Zhan suddenly stood up and said hello to Huihuang and hurriedly left the meeting room.

Huihuang's questioning immediately followed him.

Tian Zhan did not explain too much, he just did some things.

He first found his daughter on the space station and borrowed the hope spirit stone that represented endless power.

He went to Gaia again and talked with Gaia, who represented the will of the fairy tree, so that his mental state reached an unprecedented peak.

Then he boarded a spaceship and planned to go through the star gate to the empire.

He did not hesitate at all throughout the whole process, and his goal was extremely clear.

When faced with Huihuang's repeated questioning, he only said one sentence.

"Chen Ming may be there, I want to take him out of the black hole."
