"Launch Transcendence..."
Ace commanded after confirming that all the preparation was complete...
This mid-size transatmospheric battleship named Transcendence has a bit of similarity with the Excellence.
This is the same ship that was seen floating above his territory during the Fourth Phase event.
Ace was the only person inside this spacecraft and everything else was being handled by Avalon\'s automatons. He watched everything that was happening as they reached the Mass Driver.
It started to power up and waited for a few more moments to accumulate enough energy.
Their space launch for today was being done very carefully not just because it was the first time they\'ll send this vessel in outer space but because it was extremely heavy at the moment as it was filled with various materials to be used in the construction of the Moon Base.
Even the spaces allotted for the Mech Frames were used as storage facilities instead. Because of this, Ace was only able to bring two Mech Frames with him. Anyway, he calculated that the firepower of his spaceships was more than enough to handle the enemies this time.
As soon as the Transcendence got out of his territory\'s defense system, the people outside had seen the battleship flying out.
These people were living at Tanza City and nearby towns so they can easily see the spaceship\'s trail and just the sound it produces can easily catch their attention.
"What\'s happening in this early morning?!"
"Look! Isn\'t that the same with the space launch a few days ago?"
"That\'s true... It seems that it came from Mt. Raven again..."
"They surely are rich... It feels like they can just launch their spacecraft at any time and it doesn\'t seem to be a big deal to them..."
"Yeah... Now that I remember, the two clans made a big deal out of it and even announced their project to the world but they still failed..."
"Ssshh! Don\'t say it like that... That was supervised by a Grand Arcanist or a Grand Sage..."
They were all amazed and probably still couldn\'t comprehend how Wallace was starting a new era. An era in which traveling out in space was seemingly common and nothing to be surprised about.
Magicians or even Non-Magicians had already heard about the second version of the Alien Invasion game in the couple of days that had past.
This second version will expose them to outer space and some of the players will even live or work at the Moon Base. It was such a novel idea and everyone was curious how he was even capable of simulating that.
That was why seeing another space launch from that mountain only confirmed their thoughts about how he was changing this era very slowly.
It was such an impressive feat to accomplish all of this in his teens.
It didn\'t take long before the battleship could no longer be seen and only a small bright light was left in the sky.
They were impressed by this development and a bit curious about the purpose of another space launch but they didn\'t spend too much time guessing on it and didn\'t take it very seriously.
***
As soon as the spaceship was about to reach the thick layer of violent mana protecting the planet, Avalon immediately activated the Radiant Wave Technology to cover the entire outer layer of the Transcendence.
This allowed them to safely pass through the atmosphere without taking any damages. At most, it just consumed some of the ship\'s energy.
Ace no longer have to give orders to the A.I. at this point. It was already using the Excellence\'s logs to ensure that they have better or safer travel...
Soon, the young man noticed the changes in gravity as they reached the space. It only took a couple of seconds before Avalon made auto-adjustments for the artificial gravity within the spaceship.
As everything stabilized and confirmed from Avalon\'s continuous report that they were already heading towards the Moon, he took off his seat belt and walk around the bridge as he observes the space...
"Mhmm... It\'s been a while..."
Ace said as he smiled looking at the vast universe.
He grew up seeing these endless stars and many beautiful celestial bodies.
It was a nostalgic feeling...
Even though he was only living on the Magic Earth for over a year, because of the memories he had from the other Wallace who grew up here, he felt that it was already a very long time...
Right now, he was satisfied with all his accomplishments. Reaching here wasn\'t easy and he was sure that he\'ll accomplish more incredible things after getting here.
He briefly glanced at one of the monitors indicating the estimated time before they arrived on the Moon Base.
[ 00:05:29 ETA ]
They were traveling very fast.
In the meantime, he decided to control the spaceship\'s Deity\'s Eye to look around. It was a special orb-like mana artifact that was used to observe things from a great distance.
The spell was equivalent to a Grade 4 Mana Spell, something that only Peak Adepts or Sages can cast. That was why the activation of this artifact even requires Ace to use a mana stabilization array to use it smoothly.
Unfortunately, this artifact was still incapable of seeing the asteroid that was 9 days away from here.
"There\'s really no sign of the space shuttle, huh..."
Ace muttered as he decided to observe the Earth.
He saw the huge southern continent and many large island.
There was also this extremely foggy northern continent. He was almost unable to see any part of its land due to the abundant clouds or probably another form of abnormality in this continent.
"Mhmm? What was that?"
Ace was a bit surprised after seeing an extremely dark body of water at the eastern side of Kazan.
Kazan was another island country that was allied with the country of Guwain...
At this time, Ace was seeing a dark patch in the ocean. It was triple the size of his country so it was considerably huge...
"There are still many mysterious things on this Earth, huh..."
Ace shakes his head as it wasn\'t the time to think about this. He just noted it to Avalon to remind him once they\'ve returned to Earth.
After a few moments, he heard Avalon\'s reports about arriving on the Moon Base and a series of command as it started docking the spaceship near the Excellence...
The young man wouldn\'t stay here for long. He only have to relay all the supplies he brought here and he would immediately bring the two mid-size spaceships to confront the enemies.
[ The 15th batch of Space Mines has just been released. ]
Ace squinted his eyes after hearing this report from Avalon.
"15th already? What\'s going on?"
He wasn\'t sure of the plans of these Arians by planting such traps. He was even starting to consider whether they were actually being pursued and was just escaping in their current direction.
Sigh~
\'Anyway, I will be meeting them soon...\'
