Chapter 274 - 271 Home

Home

It's been around two years since Arc encountered Ghidorah, A lot of things happened since then after completing his urgent quest, Arc then uses all his time to figure out how to get home. What he didn't expect is that leaving the belly of the beast is a lot harder than fulfilling his urgent quest.

Outside Eden, space beasts of all sizes can be found, and dealing with them is a pain in the ȧss. Without the knowledge of runes, it would have been next to impossible to leave Eden without first upgrading Specter to at least 4-star rank. And that would take a lot more time to do so.

Fortunately, having subjugated the Hands of Cain (HOC) they were able to learn a lot about runes without having to go through a lot of trial and error. Runes are common knowledge in Eden, but no one is willing to share their knowledge about it. Especially advanced knowledge regarding runes.

Arc was able to take the shortest route because of HOC, especially the pope. Who was very willing to share all the knowledge HOC was able to accumulate. Also, with HOC, Arc was able to gather resources several times faster than before.

So with the help of HOC, Arc was able to upgrade Specter without relying too much on the factory system, and it's a huge accomplishment for Arc. This gives him more options, not to mention that if he could completely combine the Runic system with the factory system, he couldn't imagine the results.

The factory system relied on Adam's unique ability to manipulate energy, but the runic system is a technology that converts energy into something tangible, the result is similar, but the process is very different. If he can combine the two, who knows what the result would be, whatever that is. it would be amazing, thats one thing Arc is sure of.

Arc knowledge about the runic system is still superficial, even with the knowledge of HOC, the runic system is simply too broad, and is only one of the many branches of Arcane technology. Like the runic system, symbology is also something Arc is interested in learning. So during the past year, he tried to gather as much knowledge about Arcane technology to the best of his ability.

And Arc was able to gather a huge amount of books and data regarding the Arcane technology, all of them are stored inside specter and Eve. Who were doing their best to study it and to find a way to apply it to the current technology they have.

The only consolation is that their processing power is on a different level compared to carbon-based creatures. And so their learning speed is quite fast, that's the only advantage they have, not to mention every power on Eden has their specialty and knowledge on the application of the runic system.

And so during the time Arc was looking for a way to return home, he was also helping HOC to dominate other powers on Eden. That way, he can also gather more resources and knowledge at the same time.

He provided Droids and Lilly to help HOC with their domination. In reality, HOC doesn't have any intention to expand but as Arc was the one who gives them the order they have no choice but to follow it, and besides they know how powerful Arc and his droids are, so it's also an opportunity for them.

Arc and his group choose to remain in the shadow and only use HOC to do all his bidding, the only one who remains active and exposed is Lilly, who earned the nickname "the fairy of death" because of every battle she participated in all ends up being a one-sided massacre.

And Arc just let her play to her heart's content, since it's almost next to impossible to harm her anyway.

"Boss, we're finally out of the red hole" Arielle's happy voice woke Arc up from his daydreaming.

Arc looks around and everyone has a relieved and happy smile on their face.

"Do we know where we are?"

"We're analyzing it right now. But according to our data, we are close to sector alpha-853, but if that's true this should be crawling with Ganesh forces, but so far we can't detect any Ganesh. No, in fact, we can't detect any life sign with our radar," said Arielle with a slightly worried tone.

"Specter, try contacting Legion."

"I already did boss, but there's seems to be a problem contacting him"

"Are we still in the right timeline?"

"There's no indication that we moved into a different timeline," said Arielle

========================

"Lady Dianna, everything is ready, they are waiting for you."

Dianna looks at the soldier and nodded.

Dianna opened the door and in front of her saw a big crescent-shaped table and behind the table different kinds of beings are sitting there, there are about 20 or so of them, each one is representing a race or power in a bright galaxy.

If Arc was here, he would be able to recognize some of them. But the most recognizable one is Commander Markos who was now the leader of GFA, and Karou the commander of Ganesh. Every single one of the people here right now is representing a powerful force in bright Galaxy.

This is not the first time she had a meeting with one of them, but this is the first time she met them together.

"You all know why we are here, so let's not waste any time"

Markos nodded. As well as the others, while others remain with no reactions.

Dianna doesn't mind, in fact, she doesn't care.

They are all here not because they choose to, but because they have to.

This meeting will decide the fates of the Bright galaxy.

A holographic image appeared in front of everyone. It was a generic star map of Bright Galaxy, the most noticeable thing is that almost 70% of it is in red color highlight.

As soon as everyone saw it, worry and fear can be seen on some of their faces.

"Your guess is correct we just lost sector B09562 to BQ9006, this week alone we lost over a dozen sectors"

There was a murmur as soon as they heard Dianna, while some of them already have this information many of them don't, and worry and fear can be seen on their faces.

Commander Markos and Karou, remain emotionless as they already have this information. The reason they are here is to know if there is a solution to their problems.

Dianna doesn't care about their reactions, she gives them a little time to digest what she said and continue with the topic.

Another holographic image appeared. This time it was a place everyone knows about.

As soon as the image appeared, everyone focused on the image.

Those who are still talking earlier all stop talking.

This is the black sector. This used to be sector ABS-098 but was renamed as the Black sector when it becomes the front line in the war.

The holographic image shows countless ships of all sizes, carrying different flags and insignia. It is not farfetched to say that this is the line that will decide the fate of all the surviving races in a bright galaxy.

And in front of those ships, their common enemies. Bugs
