Chapter 1789: Trying To Enter The City

Updated chapters at novelhall.com

As we saw the train leave, suddenly, something happened out of nowhere...

Crack, crack...!

CRAAASH!

A huge spatial portal opened where the train was going towards, only for it to be torn apart even wider and...

For something to emerge from it!

It resembled a giant blue whale covered on black tentacles, with giant bug-like eyes.

It was gigantic, probably around my dragon size, if not even larger, its giant flippers, with sharp claws, were constantly trying to tear the space apart.

Crack, crack...!

CRASH!

With each crack that spread, the gigantic thing kept pushing itself through the portal, but it seemed mostly stuck, and no matter how hard it tried, it won't get too far.

"Ah shit! A Space Whalebug?!"

One of the guards panicked as he saw the gigantic alien beast, his big red eyes clearly horrified by the sight, this quickly told me that such a thing wasn't a common sight in this city.

Because the giant Whalebug stood in the middle of the spatial portal, the train that was going to go away was forced to stop their path and quickly moved back to the station before it was to crash with the alien creature.

"OOOOHHHHHH...! GROOOHHH..."

The giant space-traveling alien seemed to be in pain, groaning. It seemed like it had been stranded just like when it happens to actual whales!

So its natural habitat must be the... Uuh, the outer space where that portal came from?

No, wait, why am I even analyzing things so pragmatically? This is nuts!

What the hell is going on now?!

"Dammit, it'll take a whole week to get it out!"

"What are we going to do now? The train can't leave to its destination through another of the Spatial Portals!"

"But isn't the Golden Spire Run happening in like a few hours?!"

"Asteroid Colony?" Miranda wondered. "What's... that?"

"Yeah the colonies over the Asteroids at the... you guys don't know what's that?" the second guard, resembling a rusty robot, wondered.

"Ah, no, yeah, we totally know!" I said

"Yeeaah! She's just a country bumpkin! Silly girl!" Benladann giggled. "We totally come from that place, of course."

"Hmm, I guess you don't got identifications in the city. Well that'll be a bit pricier. You're a whole family?" wondered the green guy.

"OOOOHHHH...! GROOOHHHH!"

The Whalebug kept screaming and groaning as he spoke.

"Ah, yes, we are," I said. "Is it an extra payment?"

"I have never seen a whole family move to this city... It's dangerous," sighed the rusty robot. "But okay, we can make them a price at least, right?"

"I mean yeah, I got a family too..." laughed the green guy. "My wife and two little green peas. Sure... Okay, for all of you... Four Star Jewels is enough."

Star Jewels, so that's how they're called?

"Here..."

I handled them the four jewels, the green guy grabbed them and nodded, about to pocket them until the robot suddenly spoke.

"Wait! Those jewels... I didn't sense any starlight energy inside," he said. "Are you sure

they're not fake ones?"

"Huh? Right, my bad let me check..." the green guy took them out and then the two of them glared at me with a bit of anger.

"Oi, who are you trying to scam here, you fuck?" wondered the green guy.

"Scamming is a crime, sir," said the rusty robot. "These jewels are not real, they're replicas. Very well done but lack the starlight energy they contain inside. Which is essential to power our technology... Where did you get these?"

"Ah, shit... I had no idea!" I said, trying to act humble. "Someone else gave them to us when we purchased food as charge... I guess we got scammed first, I'm really... sorry." "Hmm, do you have the legit ones?" asked the green bastard. "We can't let you in without

paying, sorry."

"Ah..."

Are you kidding me?!

"GUUOOOOHHHH...!"
