The most luxurious, gigantic, and magnificent structure in human history was dismantled.
This was an unprecedented super demolition project.
David held Lucy's hand, above them, Barley and three Titans clung to the remnants of the Crystal Palace used for positioning, with all their power released at the critical moment...
Leaping boundlessly into deep space.
This momentum, compared to a complete Crystal Palace, wasn't particularly fatal, but it was better than nothing. They didn't have many resources at hand, the ships provided sustained propulsion, and they should also provide some fine-tuning vectors.
As for why they were clinging to the wreckage, it was because they would serve as an illusion of the normally operating Crystal Palace, acting as a server in the orbital position, sending signals to Tycho Colony.
