After the solar storm ceased its rampage, it had not only gouged out a massive hole in Machinery Star.
The entire Ninefold Mechanical World, except for the lowest structure, the Old Mech Sky, which evaded disaster, felt the fury of the solar storm from Steam Heaven upwards, with each Mechanic Heaven suffering the storm's wrath.
The reason it didn't collapse was not due to its sturdy structure, but because the Mecha Queen used enormous computational power to manipulate the vast mech spiritual energy to maintain and drag it.
The brief downtime during its reboot caused the distances between different Mechanic Heavens to shrink, leading to the original linking passages being crushed and shattered, creating numerous gaping holes.
This meant that to travel to different Mechanic Heavens, one no longer needed the linking passages, but could directly perform a Void Jump.
"It's been punctured by Gary Smith!"
"Did we... really survive this time?"
