Primordial Expanse: I have the Strongest Talent!

Chapter 282: Returning to the battlefield

Not more than an hour passed since Alex had awoken, and he was already out and about, exploring the inner confines of the Alliance Fleet's ship.

Elara had thought that something must be wrong with the monitoring equipment when she saw Alex's vitals, but then she remembered that she designed them herself, so that was impossible,

Which only meant that Alex had actually fully recovered!

She wasn't so shocked that she didn't know what to do, as there were many other times where Awakened had increased regenerative speeds, or a talent related to health, regeneration etc.

It's just that none of them were as absurd as Alex's.

Alex wasn't aware of it until Elara told him, but between Alex passing out and waking up on the ship, only 4 hours had passed.

So he had gone from severely injured, to fully recovered somewhere in those four hours, and that was without the aid of his Phoenix Flames or any medicines, as Elara had yet to administer any, as that was the exact reason she had entered Alex's room in the first place.

"Where are we, in terms of location in space?" Alex asked, turning to Elara, who was to his side.

They were standing on the main deck of the Alliance ship, and Alex couldn't see any ships, planets or even space debris anywhere outside of the huge window adorning the entire front of the deck.

So they must be pretty far away from any battlefields.

"We're just outside of the Shen Wu system."

Alex's eyebrows shot up in surprise.

"Outside of the system? How did you get me out of there so fast?"

Elara smiled, but refrained from answering.

It seemed she liked this mysterious sort of persona she had built up for Alex.

Elara inclined her head slightly. "Now, would you like us to take you back to the battlefield? We can transport you there safely."

Alex shook his head.

"No, that won't be necessary. I have my own ship. It would be a waste of a gift if I still hitched rides everywhere rather than using my own."

Elara nodded in understanding.

She guided Alex to the nearest airlock.

"Well, it seems this is the last of our short meeting." Elara said, a smile still perched on her face.

"Yeah, I doubt we'll ever see each other again. Thanks for saving me though, I'll be sure to repay the favour some way or another someday."

Alex turned around, locking the door behind him, separating him and Elara by the thick metal door, with only a small window allowing them to see each other.

Holding his breath, Alex pressed the next button to unlock the outer door, and the airlock was depressurised instantly, before the door finally opened with the intense cold of the vast vacuum hitting him.

Alex waved at the interior door to Elara without looking back, and propelled himself out of the ship's confines with his feet, and when he was far enough away from the Alliance's ship, he took his own ship out of his storage.

The hundred metre long military class ship once again graced the physical world, and Alex entered it without any hitches, other than trying to control the angle of his body in zero gravity…

Once inside, Alex quickly reactivated the ship's systems.

The familiar hum of the engines and the soft glow of the control panels brought a sense of normalcy.

He set himself down in the pilot's seat and plotted a course back to the same battlefield in the Shen Wu system.

The ship's AI confirmed the coordinates and engaged the warp drive.

As the stars stretched into long streaks of light and the ship hurled through space, he took a little bit of time to reflect on the strange series of events that took place in the last day alone.

He encountered a group of elite Red Demons, most likely the strongest Red Demons in this system as well, and ended up killing all of them.

Then just as he thought he might be dead meat, Varkoth starts to blabber on about pride and a bunch of other irrelevant stuff to Alex, only to let him live.

Then he wakes up in an unfamiliar ship of a strange force he had never heard of before…

Too many strange things have been happening to him in recent times…

Speaking of the Alliance Fleet, Elara said something about them being untouchable in the Federation because of their leader.

'How can that even be possible though? Like, wouldn't their leader have to be the strongest person in the federation for that to be possible!?'

'Wait…'

The puzzle pieces suddenly fit together in his mind, and Alex felt like a whirlpool of emotions had just flooded into him.

There was only one person that fit the bill to be the leader of the Alliance Fleet, and he also remembered hearing about how that one final seat in the Round table room was almost always left empty by its rightful occupier…

It was most likely that these two people were the same person!

Previously, Alex had no intention whatsoever of joining the Alliance Fleet, but after finding out that they were backed up by the literal strongest person in the entire federation, his thoughts were changing little by little.

It would still take a lot more convincing for him to actually join them, but he wouldn't completely dismiss the idea entirely like he did back on the Alliance's ship.

Besides, he already had Principal Farnes, the second strongest in the federation backing him up, so he doubted there wouldn't be much of a difference in what they could offer him.

After a short warp, the ship exited near the outer rim of the battlefield.

The Federation's military identification system quickly recognised his ship, allowing him to bypass the usual security checks unhindered this time.

The ship glided smoothly through the vastness of space, navigating back to the planet where all of the main battles were taking place.

He wasn't going to leave this place until every last Red Demon was dead.
