Chapter 900 Voyage and Arrival (1/2)

In the vast Void shrouded by the dark night skies, a bright starry speck glinted, rapidly driving through the lightless ocean of silence.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

Mycroft's Combined Fleet sailed silently. A massive, translucent and bulbous spindle shaped dimensional stabilizing field ran on full capacity, unleashing the light of stars while covering and protecting the fleet.

And yet mere optical tools would never observe the true appearance of that fleet in the stirred dimensions, but that certainly did not take into account the gigantic pioneer circles that were measured in dimensional quadrant units; continental behemoths that were over thousands of miles in length which bodies precepted sub-space harmonics; microscopic magical probes; negentropic tracking circles along with many other advanced technologies, super forms and large scale buildings.

”Is there no end?”

After Joshua kicked and destroyed a spying portal from some unknown location and made sure that were no peeking gazes, he raised a hand in irritation. Silver light burst out like a volcano from his path and shifted halfway, finally shifting in to a massive large black shield held aloft at the center of the fleet, shrouding the outer layer of the dimensional stabilizer field.

Joshua had mastered the Black Form Guard, a skill of the Black Fog's main body: by unleashing substantial independent bodies, the barrier would absorb all electromagnetic waves and heat to a certain extent, withdrawing all aspect of one's own appearance as if a black hole.

That way, the entire Combined Expeditionary Fleet would not be watched—the spies would not be able to obtain precise coordinates of their location, and were left with the option to identify the Fleet's identity through the surrounding dimension distortion or how warped light was around them. However, that method would have been fine inside the galaxy, but those conditions did not exist even in the absolute emptiness of the Silent Void, which was why they were essentially concealed from all prying eyes from other galaxies until they reached the outer edge of the Multiverse.

It had been half a year since the Combined Fleet left Mycroft, and it was now Starfall Year 842, the twelfth of July.

The Starherders that had journeyed through the Void on the backs of Void Behemoths did not actually move quickly in the Dark Domain. They needed more time to adjust and ensure that they had not deviated from their path in the gloom, that they were on the right trail.

The experience from their voyage allowed the Combined Fleet to move even quicker through dark zones than they did, not to mention that Void Behemoths were never built for speed. Compared to the Starherders' past journey that was very much just floating around, Nostradamus the Legendary dimensional mage and the Commanding Will of the Multiverse Sacrificial Grounds had worked together and referenced the psionic warp engine to develop a super-void channel engine, moving eighty times faster than the Starherders at full speed.

After the initial three months acceleration progress, the Combined Fleet was now in a full-speed Void voyage phase. According to the experienced eight-legged fungal monarchs who had been through that path, they were almost one-fifth through their journey.

If that was the case, even taking into account the time to calibrate and place communications beacons and then accelerating again, Joshua believed that the Combined Fleet would reach the Multiverse in three years.

Having barred all external spying, Joshua returned to his seat, closed his eyes and pondered amidst reverent gazes from the crew.

”It's been more than half a year… it seems that Mycroft his alright.”

With the bond between his true form and clone that transcends time and space, Joshua felt 35% left of his Spirit Deviation Rate. It was a percentage that basically did not affect his consciousness, and his true form should now be in complete dormant slumber, attempting to study and suppress divinity.

The Chaos Memories and the divinity left in the 35% were the most stubborn and irremovable. Even with new Mycroft players clearly joining Continental Wars, Joshua thought that it would it would only be fully cleansed when the Expedition arrives at the Multiverse proper.

”I could wait; I'm not in a hurry.”

Having ensured the state of his true form on the other side, Joshua opened his eyes. The Spirit Deviation Rate would not affect him when he fought now—there would be minor effects, though those would be trivial.

Still, there was no telling how Ying and Ling were… And Zero Three too. He did not know if they were taking care of themselves, or if they had completed the tasks which he had left them with…

Even so, the expedition's operations here was fine even when compared to Mycroft, which was becoming ever advanced.

In a nutshell, everything was under control: the demonic fleet that should be stirring trouble had been rather orderly, probably because of the elites—and Goliath the Demon King itself watching over their shoulders. In fact, they behaved well even when the usual life-support vessels delivered and collected resources.

That was even more true for the Sartreans, Starherders, and Mycroftians. Whether pressured by the power of Legendary champions or being the handpicked cream of the military crop, all of them willingly followed the rules.

There was nothing much to say: the strong presence of order left the voyage rather dull as they journeyed through the absolute emptiness.

Nonetheless, the dull and uninteresting voyage was the best news for the Legendary leaders led by Joshua. Most of the Extraordinary individuals who did not have to stay on guard daily as well as the crew working on shifts were left with Fairy Cards, but they easily got bored of it without new expansion card sets—it would work as a pastime, but not for entertainment.

Regarding that issue, the Nature's Magister had offered the solution of having the crew grow vegetables… and naturally, flowers. Indeed, most of them simply planted a few potted plants, and there were rarely any who would grow vegetables.

Be that as it may, there were those who do grow such vegetables, such as the First Party's Nick. The dwarf, during the free time he has from training, had planted a cabbage as tall as three-dwarves at the zero-gravity zone, which became the talk of the fleet for some time.

Presently, there were several little flowers and cabbage beside Joshua's official seat in the Dreadnaught. Those were gifts from his students, the largest of which was the Void Cabbage Nick was proud of, which would grow as tall as two men if even neglected a little.

On the other hand, the most beautiful was a species of magical flower cultivated by Ivan and Amelia. The petals of the flower would change color according to the elements around it—when it was around Joshua, it grows a silver base hue, a moving sky-blue color, and a starry golden-orange, surreal and enchantingly beautiful in a single glance.
