Ning went through many other planets, destroying the Constellations there, absorbing their energy. His energy was slowly increasing decade after decade, while his family traveled alongside him, visiting all those planets.
After a while, however, it began to beco the sa thing over and over, so they wished to return back to their ho, where they would stay for a while before they visited the other places again.
Ning was a little saddened to hear that they didn’t want to continue traveling with him, but that was fine for Ning. He had also been a little distracted these past few centuries with his work, so he could speed up what he wanted to do here and go to Crownus to help him with his System.
"Papa, don’t forget. You promised a planet," Emma said right before she was being sent back to Earth.
Ning sighed. "Yes, yes. I rember," he said. "I will get you that planet as soon as I find one that is suitable. If I don’t find any in my journey, I will ask the system for one."
Emma nodded.
"I’ll see you two later."
Ning sent his wife and daughter back into his Inner World.
Now that they were gone, he had no need for this ship. He took the ship away as well, floating in the deep black darkness. He was still in motion—an extrely fast motion at that too—headed in a direction he had little understanding of.
The ship had been set to autopilot with the System’s information, so he wasn’t even aware where he was headed to.
He found the lack of information quite exciting. He looked forward to wherever it was he was headed.
He sped up much faster, going over half the speed of light. The worlds seed to zoom out, getting further away as he sped up, but that was always normal.
He fell asleep a while later, his mind falling into a deep daze. He woke up every so often, but even then there would be nothing for him to observe. He had seen most of the nebulas and stars in his previous travels already.
He was used to this, which most people would not even know existed.
Years passed in what felt like a flash. He was made aware by the system that he was approaching the next planet.
Ning saw the deep blue oceans and the bright green land from far away. Any place where humanity survived appeared to look the sa. As he got closer, his eyes narrowed upon seeing sothing tiny.
Actually, there were a lot of such tiny things scattered around the planet.
"Are those... satellites?" Ning asked in surprise. He hadn’t expected to see a satellite in one of these planets. None of the planets he had been to in the past century or so had been technologically advanced, so the surprise was expected.
He slowed down his approach, turning invisible at the sa ti from all sorts of sensors.
"Did they see coming?" Ning asked.
Ning frowned. "Hmm..." he thought for a bit. "They shouldn’t have any visual data on , though. Should they?"
"Good," Ning said and had the system create a space rock that had about the sa dinsions as him, with little to no humanoid features. If soone saw the rock, at most they would think it was shaped like a human.
Ning replaced himself with the rock, letting it launch forward. It was small enough that it would disintegrate in the atmosphere of the planet anyway.
At the sa ti, he adjusted his trajectory slightly to the right so that he missed the planet while he was slowing down. He could use the gravity of the planet to slow him down significantly enough so that he could go down without worrying about letting the world know of his arrival.
The Constellation, of all, could not be alerted.
Ning considered the option. "Give a mont to think." After thinking for a while, he ca to a conclusion.
"Find soone on the planet down below that lives a solitary life, with no family of any sort," Ning said.
"Has to be a man, of course. Older in age. 20 and above. But not 40," Ning said.
Ning wondered if he wanted to add so other criteria or if one of those was enough. He thought for a bit.
"Find soone employed. Better if they have a sowhat important job," Ning added.
"Perfect! Take to anyone."
Ning was teleported from the location. He arrived down on the planet, inside a random house, in a random room. It was a studio apartnt, sowhat tiny, that seed to have not been cleaned in a while.
There was a TV in the room, still working, showing footage of the sky. Bright green light suddenly showed in the dark sky, and the sa light ca from the window as well.
Ning went up to the window and looked to the sky. The rock he had let co into the planet had entered the sky just now. He smiled upon seeing that.
There would be a bit of a sonic boom, but there was nothing these people had to worry about. They were panicking for no—
Ning’s eyes narrowed for a mont when he saw sothing fly toward the sky from the ground. His vision zood in just then, and he saw a woman with blonde hair fly straight toward the teor.
Then, out of nowhere, her arm enlarged to a size beyond her own body and she smashed it into the incoming teor.
The teor was suddenly destroyed into bits, its remnants vanishing into the sky in glowing bits.
