Chapter 1530: Reverse



Ning wasn't sure just how long had passed since they started flying. Time was so easy for him to skip through if nothing interesting happened. He could spend a year strapped to his seat and he wouldn't know it at all.

So, when the ship began slowly experiencing some sort of sideward force, he was confused as to just why that was.

He once again left behind an illusion of himself and teleported up to the top of the ship to see what was happening.

Up above, he saw that a few Attractors were being put to work, drinking Spark from a bottle that was next to them. Most of the individuals working there had been changed it seemed. These weren't the same people working earlier.

However, the task remained the same.

They were multiplying gravity being focused on them from some other body. It took Ning only a moment to figure out what body that was.

Krimanax.

What other body could these people really use around here? Maybe a moon or two if they were close enough, but they were in empty space and the closest celestial body capable of influencing them with its gravity was the gas giant.

However, unlike the time when they had all increased Krimanax's gravity to assist with their launch into outer space, this time the gravity was much weaker, being worked on by very few people.

Ning looked around and saw that no more than 5 people were even using Spark at the moment. And they were using the bare minimum amount of energy to do what they were doing.

Ning observed the scenario and quickly understood what they were doing.

On the way to Urelon, the ship had its bulbous top pointed toward the moon, and its thrusters away from it. However, as they got close, this would not help them at all.

Was this a reconnaissance mission perhaps? Maybe they were trying to chart the astral map of the local cluster of stars.

These people lived underground for most of their lives, so stars weren't something they could view anytime they wanted to. Maybe they were out here to observe deep space.

As Ning wondered, a powerful burst of steam released from the back of the tiny ship, propelling them forward in a peculiar direction. They were surprisingly headed toward Krimanax.

'Are they on a suicide mission or what?' Ning wondered for a moment. But not long after moving toward Krimanax, they changed their ever so slightly so that it wasn't directly pointed toward Krimanax.

It was instead pointed toward... what was it pointed toward?

Ning looked in the direction of where they were headed and saw nothing more than a small asteroid belt surrounding the gas giant.

The asteroid belt wasn't large or wide enough to be considered a ring of the planet, but it was there, moving at impossible speeds around the gas giant, given how much closer they were.

'No way,' Ning thought as a possibility struck him.

'Are they... are they trying to go to one of the asteroids?' he thought.

If it was, that was pretty bold of them, considering how dangerous the entire situation was.

They were flying into a ring of asteroid, each one moving fast enough that a single hit would destroy their ship, close to the gas giant which would suck them in if they did not have enough fuel to fly out of its gravitational pull.

Ning was very much interested in seeing just what these people were doing now.

So, without hesitation, he flew behind the ship, following them.
