Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 16 Dimensional Space on a Comet

The improvement from a year of immersive training is undoubtedly significant.

In addition to improving his shooting skills by 28 times, Perseus's psychic power amplitude also increased by more than 20 times through this day-to-day practice.

However, the amplitude becomes increasingly difficult to increase as time goes on. Even with the Killing Field as a teacher, just one year of practice is not enough for him to catch up with those top-tier cosmic geniuses.

The combination of long silk ribbons and spear techniques in the attack was quite interesting.

If the two sets of secret techniques are linked and integrated, it might be possible to obtain an attack technique that combines the two fundamental laws.

However, the most important thing right now is to see Comet TX-5672. Without creating a spatial secret technique first, all the talk about fire and spatial fusion will be in vain.

……

In the blink of an eye, another six months have passed.

Perseus, who had temporarily suspended his cultivation of the secret technique, finally broke through to the sixth level of the cosmic level after many days of seclusion.

Meanwhile, on the third day after his breakthrough, No. 1 finally piloted his spaceship to the galaxy where Comet TX-5672 was located.

In the dim starry sky.

"Master, how do you plan to approach that planet?"

The light and shadow of No. 1 gradually coalesced. It looked at the comet moving in an arc in the distance. Not only was it extremely fast and difficult to catch up, but it could also make a space jump at any time without warning. Such a celestial body was not easy to approach.

Perseus, however, remained fearless: "Of course, it's based on strength!"

"The Law of Flame excels at explosive bursts. In a short time, my speed may not be able to catch up with this comet, but as long as I predict its trajectory in advance and seize the opportunity, landing on the surface of the star should not be a problem."

However, everything is easier said than done.

The comet's trajectory wouldn't change drastically, and intercepting it in advance might allow Perseus to come into contact with the celestial body. However, he forgot that comet TX-5672 wasn't exactly known for its "rules-abiding" nature.

The biggest challenge lies in the possibility of space jumps, which can occur at any time.

Comets with diameters ranging from several kilometers to tens of kilometers, wouldn't they drop off hitchhikers while jumping through space?

……

Five days later.

At the forefront of the trajectory of comet TX-5672, a figure wielding the Flaming Spear and draped in the Heavenly Silk is poised to unleash its 15th burst of extreme speed.

"boom!!!!!"

The intense flames dyed a vast expanse of the starry sky red.

His tall figure was like a long shuttle, accelerating as he wielded his spear, scattering the meteorites that gathered from all around, and rushing straight towards the distant comet.

Just as Perseus tried to approach...

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

Comet TX-5672 began to flicker continuously, like a grayish-white star that appears the moment an old television goes offline, as if it could disappear at any moment.

"Don't even think about it—"

Perseus roared, and the flame domain around him surged violently. At the most critical moment, he took another step forward and broke through to the fifth level of the domain, unleashing a terrifying fire storm that stirred up layers of air waves in the void of the universe, propelling him forward in a rapid leap, landing on the surface of comet TX-5672.

"Bang!!!"

The uneven, black star trembled slightly.

Large amounts of ice fragments, gas, and dust nearly disrupted the comet's original trajectory.

However, Comet TX-5672 eventually stabilized.

Immediately afterwards, Perseus was taken along and jumped to an environment similar to 'subspace'. Here, in addition to the fluctuations of the laws of fire caused by the solar magnetic storm, there were also fluctuations of the laws of space, which were hundreds of times stronger than the vague senses of the outside starry sky.

"This is actually the law of space?"

Perseus's eyes lit up when he noticed something was amiss.

However, he still remembered his mission, so he immediately released the Hun Tian Ling to tightly bind Comet TX-5672, while he himself moved away to begin extracting complex information elements at the cosmic level.

Of course, the biggest feature of information-based jigsaw puzzles is that they can be broken down.

Collecting many fragmented puzzle pieces and reconnecting and gluing them together can create information that includes the insights of a domain lord or even a world lord.

This collection took a full two years.

When he felt it was about time, Perseus simply carved out a cave inside the comet, dived in, and officially began his seclusion.

Of course, before that, he didn't forget to send a message to his slaves, instructing them to adjust their sales plans.

"Reserving life crystals for twenty years in advance is still not enough!"

"Fortunately, besides the life crystal core, I also prepared a batch of treasures such as force weapons, telekinetic weapons, and armor, which should be enough to last a while longer."

"I'm leaving you with the true formula for a first-tier life crystal core. If I haven't returned to Galer Star to replenish my supplies within ten years, you can buy a first-tier apothecary slave..."

……

three days later.

At the "Life Inspirer" shop on Galer Star, an expected argument ensued.

"Manager Tuor, why are Life Crystals being sold in limited quantities?"

Rama Niens leaned on the table, looked at the Silverwing youth behind him who was looking at him apologetically, and couldn't help but frown.

"Commander, you must understand our difficulties. Our master suddenly felt the need to break through, and if we don't limit purchases, our current inventory will hardly be able to support subsequent sales... However, if you don't have Life Crystals, you can also take a look at the other products of our Life Enlightener."

"Besides the Life Crystal Core, what other products do you have that you can be proud of?"

Despite saying that, Rama still took the several Tier 3 Force weapons that Tor had taken out and examined them carefully.

His eyes suddenly brightened.

"This quality—your master can even refine magical artifacts!"

"Then, Captain, are you interested in this? We also have armor..."

"Of course I'm interested... Quick! Bring out your best earth-attribute elemental weapons and armor!"

Rama seemed a little impatient. After all, as the captain of the guard, he sometimes needed to personally handle trouble on the planet, and suitable Force weapons and armor could better ensure his safety.

However, such cases are ultimately rare.

The planet Galer is deeply entrenched, and unless one is a true powerhouse or has a powerful background, even a typical cosmic-level being would not dare to act recklessly on it.

And if someone acts recklessly, the other party is most likely not an easy target.

So while the position of Chief of the Guard may seem glamorous, Rama has actually been injured quite a few times in private...

……

The aftershocks of the limited-edition sales are gradually fading.

With new supplies replenishing the losses, "Life Enlightener" quickly became lively again. However, the managers always kept in mind Perseus's order for small, high-quality sales and did not continue to expand the store's scale.

Meanwhile.

On the other side, on Comet TX-5672, Perseus also officially began his jigsaw puzzle project, preparing to use existing resources to first create a suitable movement technique to assist in comprehending the laws of space.

Of course, because comets are constantly moving at high speeds, their strong magnetic fields would greatly interfere with the calculation process of No. 1, so it is not appropriate to directly perform module simulations.

To make things easier, Perseus simply took out a tiny C9-class folding base and temporarily set up a home inside the comet.
