Chapter 226 Wonderer's Wife?!
After settling his family, Maximus proceeded to the main control room.
In the room were his two vice guild leaders, Silas and Andrew.
"Maximus, you're finally here," Silas greeted.
"I'm not late, aren't I," Maximus smiled.
After taking his family to play in the sea, he also got hooked and played for a few hours.
The sea is really clear and beautiful; it can't be compared to any artificial lake he built.
"Maybe Guild Leader got lost in the ship," Andrew joked.
"Alright, let's activate the ship's spirit to start the ship's calibration," Maximus said.
They were already late for a few hours.
The other guild members must be impatient.
Of course, Maximus didn't care much, anyway; as long as he had fun, others didn't matter.
Binding the Ship's Spirit, he began to awaken it.
This is the core of the ship, which cost almost a hundred thousand dimensional coins, which is the bulk of his investment.
The ship's spirit is a creature who can control and assimilate ships like their own body.
The one in Eternal Voyager is a newborn-born spirit with the strength of tier 9.
With such potential, the money he spent was worth it.
Unfortunately, although the Ship's Spirit is at the 9th tier, it had no combat power on its own.
They depend solely on the power of the ship.
The only thing it can do is to control the ship like its own body.
Fortunately, the ship's spirit he bought provided the ship with unlimited growth.
Soon, the Ship's Spirit slowly awakened.
Bit by bit, a wave pulse begins to spread in the ship.
Each mechanical and alchemical piece of the ship stagnated for a second and flowed like it was alive.
[Eternal Voyager: I've met the host.]
A soft female voice suddenly rang in the control room.
"Your ship's spirit is a bit unique." Silas looked at him knowingly but didn't ask anything.
Ship's spirit can also be found in Etherium Realm, but it's scarce.
Furthermore, there is no such thing as a growth-type Ship's Spirit here.
The reason he noticed that something was different in the ship's spirit was because of its strength.
Usually, the Ship's Spirit is only at tier 7 or 8.
There were only a handful of tier 9 ships known in the entire Etherium Realm.
For Maximus to get one, Silas was shocked and a little curious.
However, Silas was not fond of peering into someone else secret so he didn't speak any further.
"Guild Leader, this Ship's Spirit reminded me of Wanderer," Andrew said as he reminisced.
Remembering the trial where he fought and worked alongside Wanderer, Andrew sighed.
After a hundred years of being together in such a dangerous world, Andrew couldn't just forget Wanderer.
"Aren't I preparing a wife for Wanderer?" Maximus smiled.
After knowing that the trial world they were in was real, how can Maximus forget Wanderer?
Wanderer was just like a child he made with his own hands.
Unfortunately, he was still too weak now; he couldn't even cross his own dimension, much less travel around different dimensions.
He can only wish Wanderer to be alive and well, waiting for the time they meet each other again.
He specially chose this ship's spirit to be the daughter-in-law of his son, Wanderer.
Meanwhile, Eternal Voyager looks puzzled at the people in the control room.
As a newborn ship spirit, everything was new to her.
[Eternal Voyager: Host? What is your order?]
Although she was just a newborn, the ship's operation is ingrained in her very spirit.
"Just calibrate the ship for now."
"Furthermore, have you reviewed the map of Quantum Reef Domain and the surrounding chaotic sea I gave you?"
[Eternal Voyager: I've already processed it, host. Where should we go?]
Eternal Voyager said with a hind of excitement.
"Just take us to the calm seas, we're here to test the ship."
[Eternal Voyager: Right away host.]
[Calibrating the ship...]
[Checking for any damage...]
[Analyzin the map terrain...]
[Selecting destination...]
[All self-analysis is complete.]
[Destination coordinate is marked.]
[Eternal Voyager: Host, should we go now?]
"No, wait a few hours; my family is still playing."
The two people in the room just shook their heads at Maximus' willfulness.
...
A few hours later, his family were tired of playing.
Eternal Voyager is finally able to set sail across the chaotic sea.
On the top of the deck, Maximus let a gentle wind blow as he looks ahead.
The ship's speed didn't enter the light speed, so Maximus was able to enjoy the breeze.
As it was still inside the domain, light speed was prohibited.
Soon, a few hours later, the ship entered the chaotic sea.
[Eternal Voyager: Host It's advisable to take shelter inside the ship before it accelerates.]
"Alright," Maximus just nodded and came back to Master Suit.
...
A few days later, thousands of light years away from Quantum Reef Domain.
[Eternal Voyager: Host, we are on our marked destination.]
[Based on my analysis, this is the most peaceful part of the sea, within a million light-years radius.]
The sea is calm, with a few waves going.
If it were not for the occasional chaotic wind, Maximus would not even think they were in a chaotic sea.
"Then tell the others it's time to hunt," Maximus said with a glint of his eyes.
The chaotic sea is full of treasures!
If Maximus was lucky, then he could earn his shop's yearly revenue in just a day.
This is why he invested almost all his money on the ship regardless of cost.
This a miner that can build generations of wealth.
This ship was also the main reason his guild advanced to rank 8.
It can be said that almost all the wealth of Apex Sovereigns and the World's top organizations came from the chaotic sea.
It's just that the chaotic sea is too dangerous.
Even an Apex Sovereign may fall here if they were not careful.
...
While Maximus was in deep thought.
The tens of millions of guild members geared up as they marched to the ship compartment.
Inside were different ships responsible for the mining operations.
"Eternal Voyager, what resource collector ship should we use on this sea topography?" One of them asks.
[Eternal Voyager: Mining Ship T3 would be appropriate.]
[Also, according to radar, you better equipped auxiliary weapon XL5 to deal with sea monsters.]n))OVElB1n
"Thanks, Eternal Voyager!"
lightsnοvεl "Hahaha, Eternal Voyager is the best!"
[Eternal Voyager: You're Welcome (ᴖ ᴗ ᴖ).]
"Pity Eternal Voyager is a ship's spirit, or I would be willing to marry her."
[Eternal Voyager: -_-]
"Che! I'm willing to do an interracial marriage. I Believe in platonic love!"
[Eternal Voyager: -_-]
"That right, just the voice of Eternal Voyager is enough,"
[Eternal Voyager: -_-]
"Hey, you're hopeless."
These few days, they already familiarized themselves with the ship's spirit.
According to their guild leader, they can ask Eternal Voyager questions if they don't know something.
As they were just a bunch of newbies when it came to seafaring.
During these few days, they bombarded Eternal Voyager with a bunch of questions until they memorized everything.
Fortunately, Eternal Voyager had all this knowledge engraved in her spirit, so she was not overwhelmed.
Soon, all guild members hop on each individual ship.
As the hatch opened, tens of millions of resource collector ships dived into the sea.
Maximus and his family were also curious and hopped on a resource collector ship on their own.
...
In the depth of the Chaotic Sea.
After traveling a few thousand kilometers down, Maximus still couldn't see the land.
"I wonder how deep the sea is in this part." Maximus thought.
The deepest recorded sea is measured in light years, so Maximus was curious how deep he was in.
Of course, in the periphery of Quantum Reef Domain, the sea is shallow.
The Deepest recorded sea is only a few hundred thousand kilometers.
Soon a few hours later, Maximus finally saw the seabed at a depth of about 40 thousand kilometers.
"It's indeed different on the sea floor," Maximus muttered in amazement.
Instead of turbid waters, a clear land, colors, and gigantic monsters roamed all around.
Various colors intertwined as different creature emitted their own light.
"System scan..." Maximus commanded.
Although the water is clear, chaotic energy is present all around.
Any signal here will be blocked, whether it's spiritual consciousness, mechanical device, alchemy device, etc.
The reason he instructed tens of millions of his guild members into individual resource collector ships is because automated control won't work.
One can only use one's own eyes here to see.
Fortunately, Chaotic energy can't directly interfere with the ship.
The cameras, controls, flow of energy, etc. can still work perfectly.
Chaotic Energy is a Tier 12 energy responsible for the creation of all dimensions.
All the thing from the beginning of time was made from it.
Unless it was a similar tier, nothing can penetrate around chaotic energy.
If it were not for his system being a remnant of a tier 12 treasure, Maximus can't even use it to scan around.
