Chapter 227: Traveling Across Space! (1/2)
-----
Within the vastness of outer space, as the empty void decorated by countless shiny stars rested in peace and silence as it always did, a massive fleet moved across the cosmos, in the shape of a large ship. It was covered by dark and red metallic materials, and many magical runes, shining brightly as they were fueled by an insane amount of Mana coming from the inside of it.
A gigantic red jewel shone brightly atop this vessel, illuminating the entire ship with its red aura. the enormous ship flew across space with ease, as the magical power that fueled seemed simply endless.
However, at closer inspection, one would notice several strange things about this vessel… first of all, its components were made up of materials never seen before, overflowing with dark, alien-like essence.
And in the interior of such a ship, there were several fleshy walls palpitating with dozens of heart-like tumors across the walls, and it seemed to be an entity of its own, as the front of the ship was a closed jaw filled with countless sharp teeth.
This monstrous ship was terrifying, and it wasn't just a vessel, this entity seemed to be… alive.
As creepy as it sounded, this monstrous being had a fleshy interior with a metallic exterior, floating in the middle of space unaffected by the vacuum and cold temperatures.
Chaos was sitting inside of it while looking at a magical projection that showed the mapped area of the Universe. There was the Ginnungagap Planet right behind them, just a few hundred kilometer away, while the vast of the Universe was so big there was only empty space all around the area they had mapped.
The ship where he was traveling across space was nothing else but a living being, an ”independent clone” made by Chaos by shaping his own flesh, armor, scales, and fusing it with other materials through synthesis, cutting off a piece of his soul and then fusing it with over a thousand others, this gave birth to his ship, the Red Star.
This monstrous living entity was given such a name due to its bright red and black coloration. The group had discussed and had thought about naming it the Black Star, but they settled for the Red Star as it seemed and sounded more original, Edward pointed out he had heard of Pirate Ships named Black Star countless times, but Red Star was a first.
The Red Star was a sentient and living being of gigantic proportions, being as big as 100 meters, it was in the level of motherships led by interplanetary empires such as the Aurora Empire led by the Supreme Deity of Brightness. But perhaps even stronger, bigger, and more terrifying on its ability to be alive, think by itself, attack by itself, defend by itself, self-regenerate, and even more, generate its own energy.
Chaos had shaped it in a way that it could form and maintain itself without him needing to infuse any energy. This being was fabricated out of many materials produced by the fragments of the Forbidden One, combined with Alchemy and modern technology which Chaos had taken away from the many ships he had found and merged them together with living flesh through the repeated usage of Synthesis over many days with several other alchemists.
He had used the [Black Magical Jewel Orb of the Forbidden One] to create large black and red crystals that produced their own Mana, this was the special Jewel Orb of the Forbidden One which produced its own mana through the absorption of energy from the environment.
