Infinite Paths: The Raging Phoenix-Chapter 1067: Second invasion

The team began to move out after hearing that and soon the Star vessel began to slow down its acceleration as they got closer. Even if they couldn't be detected via magic, their size could alter the gravitational field of the surroundings, so they couldn't get too close… thanks to it, Rain and the others just started a trip that was going to last around six hours.

As the group embarked on their second mission, an unusual hush fell over them. The presence of unfamiliar faces from various factions made Rain more cautious, and the necessity for secrecy stifled his usual ease of communication. The need to maintain silence restricted him from engaging in his typical banter and light-hearted jokes, leaving an unspoken tension lingering in the air.

It was an important mission, after all and he had to keep his image in front of strangers.

Rain was very aware of the diverse group dynamics and the potential sensitivity of the mission. The unfamiliarity with certain individuals among the factions added an extra layer of complexity, forcing Rain to tread carefully in his interactions.

Simultaneously, Rain couldn't shake off his concerns about the Star vessel. Entrusting Elisabetha with monitoring Iori, he anxiously awaited updates. In the past two months, she had reported on Iori's quick magical growth, describing it as nearly unprecedented. Despite the lack of any alarming incidents, Rain couldn't shake the feeling that something troublesome was brewing.

The six-hour journey ahead held a mixture of anticipation, uncertainty, and the underlying tension that comes with clandestine operations.

"We can't see any changes on the mana of that world," Terra said. "The last few reports said that same thing, Commander."

"Understood, continue doing your monitoring job," Sealyn said.

It seemed that Rain was the only one that felt a bit bothered by the fact that they had to worry about ranks among their family during those missions. Calling her daughter Captain didn't bother Terra at all… In any case, since she was there, and as the head of one of the factions, Sealyn was chosen to be one of the commanders of the operation while Seadrei was his second in command.

At the same time, Isa was the other and she choose Van to be his second in command. Rain was just another soldier this time… all for the sake of making people understand the situation during those missions…

In any case, after five hours, they slowly began to feel the gravitational pull of that ice planet… the planet wasn't that big, so everyone wondered the reason for that. Rain explained to them that the most significant factor influencing gravity was the mass of the planet.

Mass is the total amount of matter in an object, and in the case of a planet, it includes everything from its core to its outer layers. The greater the mass of a planet, the stronger its gravitational pull.

"There are many types of materials that are heavier than they look, that would explain the powerful gravitational pull despise the small size of the planet," Sakaki said. "That also would confirm that this place is being used for mining. Some metals, like tungsten or gold, are much denser than others.

While small amounts of these metals may seem lightweight, larger quantities can be surprisingly heavy. Tungsten, for example, is often used in applications where a compact, heavy mass is required, such as in certain types of weights."

"Back on earth, Tungsten was widely used as a material for the filaments in incandescent light bulbs. It has a high melting point, allowing it to withstand the high temperatures generated when an electric current passes through the filament, producing light," Sakaki said. "Tungsten was also used in aerospace and defense applications due to its high density and strength.

It is employed in the production of heavy metal alloys for components like balance weights, gyroscopes, and radiation shielding."

"Light and radiation, huh…" Rain furrowed his eyebrows.

Although everyone heard the conversation, few people could understand that… Rain talked with his family and friends about radiation in space and other troublesome issues, so they had a brief idea of what they were talking about.

In any case, that combination was troublesome… maybe the enemies found better uses for such a material and nothing says that they were actually mining for it in that world. Regardless, the group began to cross the atmosphere without suffering much from turbulence. Sill, they soon found another trouble on the way… frozen clouds.

"We will have to cross this and leave some traces behind," Rain said. "Unless we take some risks and use the Absolute Zero gloves to fill the hole."

"We can't take any chances, just decrease the size of the domain and leave a smaller hole on it," Sealyn said.

"Roger," Rain said.

Everyone had to get a bit closer to each other as Rain decreased the size of his domain. Still, thanks to it, he was able to maneuver across the frozen clouds and only cause so much damage on them. After several minutes, they passed the clouds and soon were able to see the planet…

When observers first glimpsed the surface of the ice planet, a breathtaking and surreal spectacle unfolded before their eyes. The planetary surface appeared like a vast, frozen canvas.

The predominant feature of the ice planet's surface was an expansive layer of glistening ice that stretched as far as the eye could see. The ice reflected the ambient light, creating a mesmerizing glow.

In some areas, they could see distant ice volcanoes, their plumes of frozen substances rising gracefully into the thin atmosphere. Though far away, these cryovolcanoes added an otherworldly touch to the frozen landscape. Still, the most important feature of the world was the gravity… it was at least five times more powerful than Earth's.

Everyone there was pretty strong, they could resist it, but it will be an issue in battles due to the lack of experience on fighting on these conditions…
