Due to energy instability in the void, a series of chain reactions frequently occur. Sometimes, even a small energy contraction can lead to the collapse of a rift at some point in the future.
Thus, the appearance of space rifts in the void is not uncommon.
However, this rift was somewhat different. Its manifestation had no apparent cause—it appeared out of thin air, not as part of one end of a reaction chain.
Such spontaneously appearing space rifts are typically not naturally formed but created through external forces.
Toby was having too much fun, and coupled with the lingering energy vortex from its recent breakthrough, it failed to sense this space rift. Yet, Angel and the others farther away had already taken notice of it.
"Should we warn Toby about it?" Angel asked.
Sanders gazed into the distance. At the moment the space rift formed, he had already discerned its origin and the identity of those emerging from it.
