This was a galaxy obviously inhabited by intelligent creatures.
On the orbital path of a star system, there resided a Ring World built by a technologically advanced Civilization, albeit in a state of disrepair, it still operated.
And on an orbit farther from the Ring World, there were planet fortresses—superweapons—lined up in formation. It seemed they were guarding the safety of the Ring World.
The abrupt arrival of a human fleet startled the gargantuan fortresses, resembling hexagonal starfish. Turning their massive bodies, they aimed countless terrifying gun ports at the invaders.
This scene was discovered by almost all the Divinities in the desolate cosmos.
After all, within the boundless universe, Divinities constantly watched for dangerous anomalies, seeking opportunities to engulf either side.
Hence, the moment the humans confronted the star system fortress, their gaze turned here.
