Ning spent ti with his family for a few months before it got boring being all alone in the depths of space. So, they brought out more people. His cousins, his brother-in-law, his uncle, his grandmother, his niece and nephew, and other relatives that stayed within the tiny island on Earth that was its own place, separated from the rest of the planet.
He called them out, let them see the space, the stars, the world that they couldn’t see inside of his Inner World.
They enjoyed their ti and didn’t overstay their welco, returning back to the Inner realm. Emma too returned from ti to ti, giving her parents so alone ti with each other.
Then after nearly 12 years of traveling through the vast emptiness of space, the ship arrived close to a planet that contained one of the Constellations.
Ning stood at the front of the ship, that hovered far enough away from the planet so that the Constellation wouldn’t realize he had appeared close by.
The planet Tormala was a beautiful green planet with a large surface being covered in water that was filled to the brim with moss. Ning quickly got information about the planet, learning about its history and its culture.
There were 3 major continents, but there were also hundreds of island nations, each with their own tradition and culture.
Most of the people lived close to the beach, which was their main source of food, and for a substance known as the Green. The Green was a type of algae common in Tormala that covered all of its ocean.
The Green grew almost everywhere and gave trendous health benefits if consud. Outside of consumption, they also rejuvenated skin and healed wounds.
However, they showed their true power when they were dried and powdered. The kelp and seaweeds growing in the ocean produced a sort of special oil that could be extracted and mixed with the powder to form a unique sort of ink.
The ink had powers one could not imagine. Different people had different uses for the ink.
So used it to create tattoos that could allow a person to use a special sort of magic.
So used it to draw runes on walls to protect their houses.
So wrote words that made it onto weapons that enchanted weapons with curious powers.
So used it to draw special magic circles that allowed them to use spells through those magic circles.
All in all, the Tormalians had discovered dozens of different ways to make use of the Green ink and had stuck to their thods as they trained in them and understood them the best.
Learning all of that, Ning was quite curious. What had the Constellation in this world done that had caused the System to target it? He hadn’t learned about it yet, as he only asked the System to list out Constellations that were up to no good.
"Well... that’s a bad Constellation alright," Ning said softly, thinking.
Ning turned to his wife and daughter, both of whom looked to him curiously. "We’ll have to go down there, but not on the ship. We’ll teleport there. Once we’re there, I want you to stay by your mother’s side and protect her if a need arises."
"I should protect mama?" Emma asked with a surprised look on her face. "But mama is so strong."
"Not against Constellations," Ely said. She still rembered the days when Earth was invaded by hundreds of Constellations. They never attacked directly, but they had the power to kill even an Immortal God and Magic Divinity like her.
"Are we in danger?" Ely asked. "If so, it might be better for us to head back to Earth until you’re done."
"No, it shouldn’t be that dangerous," Ning said. "Unlike a Planetary Will like Emma, a Constellation is not within its realm of Origin. The Plovaxis Constellation is sowhere far away from here, nearly 80 light years away. It should have been here for a while, so it isn’t strong enough."
"Does it have to return to its constellation in order to recharge its powers again?" Emma asked.
Ning nodded. "All constellations do. Although, they are always so strong to begin with that the amount of energy they end up wasting even after staying for centuries barely makes a dent. And considering this one hasn’t done anything fancy, it should still have a lot of energy in it."
"Does that make your task difficult?" Emma asked.
"No," Ning said with a wide grin on his face. "It instead makes it much better. The more energy he has, the more energy I’ll gain. And once I collect enough, I’ll be able to go find a Galactic Will to kill so I can leave this planet."
It had been a while since Ning had felt this motivated about his future.
"Will you now?" a voice spoke from next to him.
Ning turned in the direction of the voice, confused. As he did, he saw Ely and Emma suddenly vanish away from right next to him.
"No!" Ning shouted, commanding the system to bring them back imdiately.
Ning’s face paled for a second before blinding fury took over him. He looked toward the empty space where the voice originated from.
"Who are you? What did you do to my family?" he asked.
"They are safe," the voice replied as an illusory being ford before Ning. "As for , I am Corwnus: a being you call a Galactic Will."
