Chapter 803: Short-Cut
“Um, didn’t we already plan to skip the Milky way galaxy?” Ning asked. Since the galaxy was being influenced by a heavy time warp, he had decided to skip that galaxy and go to the next one where Kumia was.
“Oh, what does that change exactly?” Ning asked curiously.
Saphandra tried to listen to whatever conversation he was having with the system, but all she could do was hear his side of the conversation. But unfortunately, his words rarely gave insight onto what the system itself was saying.
“Uhh… does it? No, it does. Right, I just saw with the Space Drive,” Ning said. The Space Drive was using Space stones to manipulate the ship into teleporting through space.
“How does that help me exactly?” Ning asked.
“Wait, what the hell? 4 Million lightyears? Is that how far the Milky way is from here? What about Kumia?” Ning asked.
Ning was devastated. Was that how far everything was normally? He hadn’t realized. He had expected the galaxies to be closer to each other for some reason, however, listening to the number made him feel hopeless.
“Do we have any chance to make it back to Kumia in any good amount of time?” Ning asked.
“But that will take a lot of Space stones, won’t it?” Ning asked. “I will need about a million or two of the same-sized space stones as we saw earlier, right?”
“Oh, so I could’ve gone over 300 lightyears if it was just me doing it?” Ning asked.
“Hmm, say I change bodies to the size of one of those spiritual pearls, how much distance do you think I could cover with a cubic centimeter of space stone?” Ning asked.
For the ship, the answer was about 234 Billion Kilometers.
“Holy… I should have done that in the first place,” Ning spoke out loud. “Wait, there’s still time.”
However, before he impulsively took action, he stopped. There was more to the system’s words that he had to listen to.
Besides, what was he going to do after teleporting randomly without any destination?
“The way you just mentioned is quite good. If I had the stone from earlier, I could’ve teleported quite far away,” Ning said.
<2164 Light-years>
“Holy shit that is far,” Ning said to himself. “Still, the distance is 4 million lightyears, which means I will need one that is at least… how many times larger?”
<2000 times larger. You will need a space stone with a volume of 323.47 cubic meters.>
“Cubic meters…” Ning visualized the size of the space stone he would be needing and nearly lost his mind.
“And that is just to reach the Milky Way Galaxy. To cross it and then reach to Kumia, I will need one that is about half that size again, right?” he asked.
Ning nodded. “So, what’s the next method?” he asked.
Ning’s eyes shined. “I’m intrigued, to say the least. Go on.”
Ning’s eyes went wide. “You can tear the walls of the universe using a space stone?” he asked.
“Hmm,” Ning thought for a moment. “What about time? You said I had to take a ride in that universe, right? So I should spend some time there? And considering it will be passing through here, then the time here must be starting to flow slower soon too.”
Given how slow Earth’s time was because of the galaxies being close to it, now Ning was starting to worry that this galaxy would also have its time slowed down, making it further impossible for him to get back to Kumia fast enough.

Remind me to never write sci-fi again. These chapters take hella long to write. These 1000 words alone took over 2 hours for some reason.
