Hearing the hint in Greedy Wolf's words, Sky Shadow pondered for a moment and said with an icy voice, "What you mean is that the situation with Satellite No. 8 will evolve into a skirmish."

"It can't be confirmed, but we can't rule out that possibility. You and Angelina currently have the highest single combat power in the Federation."

"Alright, I got it. When do we leave?"

"Heh, you seem to be looking forward to it. You can start preparing now."

Sky Shadow's lips curved into a smile, and without a second thought, he agreed and instantly disconnected from Heavenly Communication, repeatedly chewing over the words "skirmish"...

Hmph, things are getting more interesting, the Mecha Battle competition ended unexpectedly. If things really turn out as Greedy Wolf said, this might well compensate to some extent for the unexpected loss caused to him.

After some preparation, Sky Shadow soon arrived at the military spaceport, where a total of 18 medium-sized mech shuttles stood ready to launch at any moment.

The moonlight was cunning, and the evening breeze blew in gusts...

Sky Shadow cast a cold glance at Angelina's faint profile, greeted her without a word, and walked directly onto the mech shuttle. He despised this kind of power-hungry woman from the bottom of his heart. At best, she was nothing more than an espionage spy adept at assassination and flaunting her body.

Angelina was already used to Sky Shadow's attitude. What could she say about this man? He had an exceptionally high IQ and EQ, and a strong presence, but he was arrogant and unrestrained, utterly dismissive of using his EQ to maintain relationships. He was an annoying man—ugh, having to cooperate with someone like him, she wondered what kind of bad luck she had run into. Did anyone in this world truly catch his interest?

With various thoughts in mind, Angelina slowly made her way into the mech shuttle...

Under the push from Dragon Gate Space Station, the team successfully arrived outside the domain of Satellite No. 8 one day later and entered a silent state.

After some time of observation, the team quickly discovered that the major powers gathered around Satellite No. 8, much like the Federation, tacitly chose the best hiding spots and maintained silence. Of course, their main attention was entirely focused on the mysterious warship itself.

At the same time, our military technicians monitored the S magnetic field energy fluctuations at all times. Amidst the stream of reports, a hint of unease emerged in Sky Shadow's mind. In just half a day, the strength of the magnetic field had climbed several times over... Recalling the phrase that Feng Yi had emphasized in his report, "the power seal is gradually weakening, being released," it was highly likely that the predicted events would indeed occur on this star.

But even if there was an explosion, what would be left in the end?

In another part of the star field, Combat Power Tester Company, after repeated attempts, Blade Warrior finally got in touch with Eggy. She was utterly frustrated with that little broken dinosaur; after all she had done for it, including recharging its batteries, to be repaid like this. Next time she saw it, she would disassemble it completely. But compared to these annoyances, things like honor didn't matter anymore. The important thing was to keep focused on the task at hand.

And so, during the Heavenly Communication conversation, Blade Warrior transformed once again, reverting to that caring, maternal goddess.

First, she needed to understand the origin of the Time Crystal, also known as the Light Crystal, which Feng Yi had entrusted her with. The Time Crystal was what Blade Warrior had been eagerly searching for; obtaining the Light Crystal would significantly increase the possibility of breaking through existing physical constraints to achieve time travel. Modern physics was largely built upon Einstein's theory of relativity and Newton's absolute theory of time. According to Newton's second law of motion, acceleration is both a cause and effect of temporal relationships between objects, and simultaneity is a relative concept among different frames of reference but can be an absolute concept between different inertial frames. The universe does not revolve around human activity, and time is not centered around the universe—as is widely known, time is multi-layered and bubble-like. So far, spatial bubbles have been maturely utilized in various fields, similar to the effects of quantum entanglement and spatial wormholes, yet it's impossible to isolate levels within temporal bubbles. The unique function of the Light Crystal could open a new paradoxical loophole within these layered nodes.

The universe we inhabit might just be a paradoxical clone, one of the countless offshoots of a parent universe. There might come a moment when you feel that you have returned to a past instant; parallel universes could very well be a possibility.

Of course, precognitive paradoxes, that is, foreknowledge of events, might not actually exist in this world. However, we must pay attention to causality paradoxes. The downfall of the Magic Crystal civilization might be due to it not being recognized by the universal laws, ultimately leading to its destruction.

—The causality paradox, also known as the grandfather paradox, poses an interesting hypothesis.

Suppose you go back in time with a time machine and succeed in killing your grandfather. Everything seems to make sense until the moment your grandfather dies. Then things change—where do your friends and family members come from, and where do you come from? Perhaps, the world could also disappear because you killed your grandfather...

The downfall of the Magic Crystal civilization shares the same logic. When the Bizarre appeared, everything seemed normal—it was nothing more than an illusory void that didn't interfere with the real lives of people. But if the "Bizarre" killed someone or directly changed spatial rules that the universe didn't recognize, the universe might undergo an unpredictable collapse—where did it come from? It didn't exist in the world; it was born from the world of thought.

The appearance of the Light Crystal, obviously, could not reverse time in a way that defied universal rules. However, it could open up an unknown exit within temporal bubbles that the universal laws allow.

The Light Crystal is Blade Warrior's nickname for the Time Crystal, a substance of a star's core that is tied to supernovae. It resembles a diamond, with the ratio of its existence to gold being approximately 1 to 17,568,922. If the appearance of gold is considered the production of heavy elements in the instant a supernova explodes, then the Light Crystal is undoubtedly the gathering of elements in the core of a supernova when forming a black hole. The emergence of each black hole signifies the appearance of a small amount of Light Crystal.
