Chapter 877 Void Age and End of Childhood (2/2)

”Yes.”

Joshua nodded in his Giant God form, his body now shrinking into a dense but normal mountain size. He stared at the great beam that appeared to hold the world aloft, calmly saying, ”That thing should be called a space escalator, but Mycroft have neither space nor electricity, just as it isn't actually escalator. On the other hand, it is more a hollow tower, and there is no telling how much more functional it is compared to a space escalator, which is why the others and I simply named it Void Tower.”

”It connects the ground and the Void, and with it, Mycroft civilization can keep sending resources into the Void with a thousandth of the usual costs to build colossal warships or fortresses. By the same reason, minerals and rare resources extracted from beyond could be imported into Mycroft at a hundredth of the usual cost.”

”A radius of fifty-seven hundred meters and built entirely out of living metals, weighing five hundred and fifty trillion tons and molded directly by myself in the Void with Steel Strength. Barnil inscribed the runes on it to clear the path for the energy circuits, Barbarossa enchanted it into a magical building while Vahina set up its core engine. Soon, Nostradamus would teleport that component directly from the Eastern Sea and move it underground.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

There was pride in Joshua's tone. ”In truth, what I did was only prepare the raw materials for the tower by finding a dead world and consuming several mountains to mold it. The skill for designing, locating, enchantment, runic inscription, energy circulation and rebuilding an artificial portion of the World Barrier were all done by the other Legends and gods—soon, the Nature Magister and the others would join us by creating a complete ecosystem outside the world, using it as a basis to create a demiplane without gravity connected to the Void.

In response, Zero Three silently watched the massive Heaven Reaching Tower. It was so massive it could be seen from outside the world, and so towering that the fishermen on the edge of Mycroft could catch its shadow. It was such a profound building its materials had to be gathered from another world, with several massive mountains consumed, and yet it was not the tower's limit—built entirely from living metals, it could easily be expanded if the Mycroft people wanted to do so.

Having Joshua's ability and Zero Three's divine legacy, both of them could see a powerful thunder boundary gathering upon the lower edge of the tower. Designed by Barbarossa and Pope Igor, the thunder slingshot formation could ensure that the catapulted object would be accelerated instantly to almost twenty times the speed of sound on a stable foundation. That speed would even rise without stopping, while the Holy Light power created with the accelerated field would stabilize the constitution of the catapulted object, protecting them from the momentum.

With Extraordinary power, repulsive force, momentum, and acceleration could all be easily alleviated conveniently. In truth, the Void Tower itself was an unbelievably colossal thunder rail cannon—with its five hundred-thousand-meter-long acceleration barrel, any missile shot out would unleash unbelievable destructive force.

”Mycroftians… truly venerable.”

Zero Three could not repress a sigh as something crossed her mind. Joshua, however, simply shook his head and grinned. ”What is there to be venerable about? Zero Three, you are one of the creators of this wonder as well!”

”Without the vital information and data which you had quickly gathered from the Unified Archives which granted us a strong technological foundation. Even if the Void Tower could be built, it would be much later… That aside, look: The Dreadnaught-class Void Battleship is activating. It will be the first warship to pass through the Void Tower, rising from ground to Void.”

Even as Joshua spoke, a fourteen-hundred-meter-long warship slowly wafted into the air with the support of repulsor magic. Streaks of silver blue magical radiance permeated the hull, a sign that its core engine was in a preheat activation process.

Four hundred meters wide and three hundred meters tall, the warship would resemble a spear tip on first glance, while its hull was rhombus, coupled with thick living metal armor which provides a defense surpassing even compound adamantite alloy. Its momentum core was a psionic hedge engine which originates from Stellaris, improved by Vahina the Sage of the Oceans and given AI modifications by Barnil the Rune Master, allowing the vessel to run with less than five thousand people crewing it.

Now, the Void Battleship christened 'Dreadnaught' had left its production base, slowly wafting to the activation grounds… then, with a rumble louder than thunder, the exhaust nozzles both sides and the aft of the vessel burst with psionic fluorescence that extended over ten thousand meters. That dazzling silver-blue light created terrible momentum, pushing the massive warship toward the nearby tower that pillared heaven and earth.

At the moment, there was no one controlling the Dreadnaught from the inside. Instead, it was thousands of elemental lifeforms that Barnil which were now steering it— having bodies as strong as humans, they were the perfect subject for trials.

Joshua, Zero Three, Barnil, William, Nostradamus, Vahina, Barbarossa, Igor… all Legendary champions were watching the Void Tower and Dreadnaught-class Battleship sight solemnly as it repelled the cumbersome gravity and air pressure to slowly rise, passing through the massive valve seat that was five thousand meters wide and formally entering within.

”Electromagnetic slingshot, energize!”

”Casting Holy Light defense systems… nullifying impact force!”

”Countdown to lift off… 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… Lift off!”

Boom!!!

Amidst green-blue magical bolts, massive thunder boundaries promptly shrouded theDreadnaught,the massive creation of steel instantly accelerating to six thousand meters per second and hence darted to the edge of the skies beyond the world.

A silver streak of light could be soon shooting towards the Void, with passing flashes of light visible from its translucent surface.

Then, a minute passed.

On top of the Void Tower, the artificial World Barrier slowly energized, while a colossal warship ejecting a stream of silver blue light hence leaped out gracefully in the Void.

”Commencing post-slingshot assessment… crew alive pre-catapulting: 5135, now assessing…”

”All 5135 crew members confirmed alive, uninjured and without signs of anomalies. Assessment: perfect!”

Inside the central control hub deep within the Void warship production line in the West Barnett Highlands, a synthetic voice spoke twice without emotion.

There was only silence at the start.

Then, a clapping thunderously resounded over the entire manufacturing line!

Outside the world, Joshua and Zero Three could not hear the applause and cheers from the Legendary champions' who completed the design and the normal beings who had carried out and built the miraculous project. Still, as they witnessed that sight alongside Legendary champions who were watching from various corners of the world, all of them lifted their hands in the warship rising to the Void, clapping solemnly.

For what they had seen was the beginning where a civilization truly strode into the Void Age.

And its childhood hence ended.
