Odyssey of the Blind God

Chapter 604 Flying Shuttle

Finally regaining control of his dark energy, he spread it out in an instant. There was no sign of unfamiliarity as he controlled the dark energy, everything felt the same as before. It was exactly how it was supposed to be!

Unleashing his dark energy, he slowly morphed it into vines that tied down the unconscious bodies that were floating in the open space. He tied all of them down and bound them together with a darkness chain that was also manifested from his dark energy. As for the weapons, they were already tightly stored inside his spatial ring.

He wouldn't give them back, not before he finished researching them, at least. There were a few things that had attracted his interest, and he intended to find out everything!

The huge box crumbled and it was about to shatter when Nial unleashed the fullest potential of his range of perception and Mana Sense. He was trying to depict something from the huge box but failed miserably. The box shattered, leaving nothing behind.

'If I ask nicely, they should give me one of those boxes as well, right?' Nial thought while the corners of his lips curled upward.

As the huge box shattered, the Devil Roc shot toward him. A few unconscious bodies were already hanging down the dark energy that oozed out of the Devil Rocl as if they were tiny tentacles.

"Carry this bunch as well," He ordered to the Devil Roc who spread out a few more dark energy tentacles to attach the remaining dozens of Demihumans to it. Nial nodded his head in satisfaction as he was able to perceive everything that happened with great precision. It was a pretty decent sensation to be able to perceive his surrounding up to the finest detail.

It was the replication of his lacking eyesight and it might actually be better than being able to see. After all, his range of perception, enhanced with the fully unleashed Mana Sense was pretty vast, to put it simply.

'As long as I have this box, I can learn how to fight without sensing any energy, for real this time…I can also study it and make countermeasures. Everything together should be more than enough to handle all kinds of opponents…or most of them,' Nial thought to himself as he made his move to the closest planet. It was the same planet where the Demihumans had emerged from and the planet he intended to visit earlier.

The way he had been treated by the Demihumans upon arriving was a little harsh but that was something Nial could ignore. He knew that some powerful Originals could be found on the planet and Nial hoped that they were ready to help him out a bit.

Of course, it was the most important to make sure that they knew he didn't plan to conquer their lands or anything like that. Though Nial didn't think that anyone thought a Mythician ranked individual was enough to conquer the entire planet of the Demihumans, he was going to make sure that they understood his intentions no matter how big of a language barrier existed between him and the Demihumans!

He descended onto the planet with the Devil Roc by his side. At first, Nial didn't expect too much because the Demihumans were not exactly in possession of special combat techniques or any means to actually defeat Nial. They weren't really strong, which was why Nial's expectations of their home could be considered mediocre. He knew that it would be technologically advanced because he had seen huge space shuttles passing through the space, but Nial had been pretty sure that the Demihumans wouldn't be further advanced than the Alliance City had been.

The literal opposite was the case.

A highly technologically advanced city appeared in his range of perception in the form of towering skyscrapers made of unknown, sleek materials that resembled glass and darkish steel. The buildings were designed with clean lines and cutting-edge technology and they were adorned with means to sustain themself easily. There were solar panels, green roofs, and means to store mana inside large batteries that were guarded well.

The streets were bustling with advanced transportation rather than people crowding the areas. There were flying shuttles that soared above the city, transporting Demihumands and goods while being driven through artificial intelligence. The shuttles were able to take off vertically and land easily in the same way. For someone like Nial that was quite impressive. A few decades earlier, he didn't even leave the Shelter in which he had been raised. Yet, right now, he was visualizing the newest technology right in front of him.

If the Alliance City had already been a shock for Nial, this topped his past experience easily, by several leagues.

Other than the flying shuttles that moved swiftly and smoothly through the air, the city had also highly advanced infrastructure with a network of high-speed train lines connecting the different areas of the city. All over the city, Nial perceived numerous green spaces and parks that provide a refreshing contrast to the city landscape. It was possible to enjoy nature there without the need to leave the city!

As for the structures Nial perceived outside the city, he presumed it to be the harbor of the means to travel through space, such as the rockets, shuttles, the fuel they used, and the means to undergo maintenance.

Instead of descending in the middle of the city, Nial chose to descend somewhere near the outskirts. Landing on the open space outside the city, near the outskirts, was one of his means to show that he didn't have bad intentions.

He noticed that a bunch of Demihumans was already rushing to him but Nial was not in a hurry to act. He told the Devil Roc to be careful while landing to detach from the unconscious Demihumans before he started to rearrange them, giving the Medics, if there would be any, to have enough space to look at them.

Meanwhile, as a bunch of Demihumans, more than a hundred of them at the Mythician rank, reached him, Nial retracted the Devil Roc by turning it into darkness that merged back with Nial's body.

Nial stepped back at the same time, giving the Demihumans the opportunity to take their injured and unconscious brethren.

"If you attack me now, you would be one of the stupidest races I've encountered in my entire life!"
