Cosmic dwarf worms

[Notice] The host lacks the form required to absorb a genuine sun. It is over a million times the size of the host's planet, and the energy contained within would destroy the host instantly. The host needs to be in a sun form at least 1/20th the size of this genuine sun to proceed.

Carter clenched his fists. He knew it was the truth, even if it stung to admit it. "Of course it can't be that easy. A sun like this isn't going anywhere, though. I just need to wait for my own star to return before I can even think about devouring this one."

[SYSTEM] Warning: The host's yellow dwarf star is unlikely to reach even 1/100th the size of this sun when it returns to the host. The host should tread carefully. A fully matured sun is a highly sought-after prize, and a cosmic dwarf worm could be drawn to it. If that happens, the star will be devoured before the host can claim it.

Carter's frustration deepened. The system was right—he couldn't just leave this massive star unprotected. He didn't know much about cosmic dwarf worms, but he did know one thing: he wasn't letting some oversized space worm steal his prize.

"I guess I don't have as much time as I thought," Carter muttered. He knew he had to act fast if he wanted to keep this sun within reach until he could properly absorb it.

 The host can establish a gravitational lock on the sun, which will deter cosmic threats. However, it will consume celestial energy over time, and it is only a temporary measure until the host is powerful enough to absorb the sun.

Carter sighed. "Fine. Set up the gravitational lock. I'll deal with the energy cost later. I can't afford to let this thing get away."

He stretched out his hand, his gravity control skill activating as he felt his energy extend across the vast expanse of space. It was like weaving an invisible net around the sun, locking it in place. The gravitational web shimmered subtly in the star's light, a faint barrier that would hopefully slow down any would-be cosmic predators.

Once the lock was in place, Carter took a step back, floating in the void. The sheer power of the sun was intimidating, but now it was secured—at least for now.

"Alright," Carter said to himself, "that should hold it for a while. Now, I need to get stronger. Fast."

With a final glance at the locked sun, Carter turned, his mind racing with plans. He needed his meteors and dwarf star to return. Only then could he hope to grow powerful enough to claim this sun as his own.
