Lyra G16 was a titan of cosmic fire, possessing a radius of approximately 750,000 kilometers. Its total surface area was staggering, measuring approximately seven trillion square kilometers of churning plasma.
Of this vast expanse, the surface area directly facing First Planet amounted to approximately 3.5 trillion square kilometers. In a natural state, the light from this area would scatter into the void. But now, a significant portion of the starlight from those trillions of square kilometers had been seized, bent, and condensed.
It was a weaponization of nature itself.
Just like the magnifying glass Tom used to burn ants when he was a child—the convex glass concentrating the gentle warmth of the sunlight into a pinpoint of searing death—the same principle was now playing out on a stellar scale.
