"Gali, show
teleportation again. I feel like I'm missing sothing every ti I try it."
"Sure."
Gali always listened to Blaine. For so reason, she seed to have co to regard him as family.
*Swish, swish, swish, swish…*
Her figure darted across the courtyard—along the wall, up the treetops, over the rooftop. She moved so fluidly that teleportation seed easier for her than breathing. There was no sign of ntal strain or disorientation at all.
As Gali demonstrated, the five-pointed star in Blaine's eyes began to rotate. He had already analyzed the structure, essence, and nature of teleportation last ti, but after refining his Copy Eyes earlier, his understanding had deepened. Just as he had extended his ti-stopping ability into a projected barrier, another new idea was forming in his mind.
Before long, Blaine not only grasped the structure of teleportation magic completely but also learned how to alter and refine its components.
"Alright, Gali, that's enough," he called.
He couldn't wait to test his theory.
In the next second, Blaine vanished from the yard and reappeared in the living room. One more second—and he was back outside again.
But this ti, he was still sitting on the sofa. Which ant not only had he teleported himself—he had brought the entire sofa with him.
"Hehehe~~hehehe~~~"
Gali giggled, teasing him rcilessly, her expression saying 'This is child's play—I mastered this when I was little.'
Blaine didn't know what she was thinking, but the discovery thrilled him. Even though the range and frequency hadn't improved like his ti-stopping ability, the spell's new functionality was imnsely practical. And carrying objects didn't seem to cost much more ntal energy. The next question was—could it transport *people* too?
"What's for dinner?"
Gali tugged on his sleeve and asked softly. Blaine couldn't help but feel his pulse quicken; she looked like a delicate Japanese-style cute little girl, and even a simple question from her could make his heart race.
He took a deep breath to steady himself. After an entire afternoon of testing magic, he was starving.
"Doesn't look like we have anything to eat. How about—"
"Hey, that's a good idea!"
Before Blaine could finish, Gali had already guessed what he wanted to say.
"Anyway, nothing on Earth really interests you. All the nearby restaurants are closed. Might as well go get sothing *really* delicious."
Blaine smiled and tapped the ring on his right hand. With a flick, a spatial rift appeared out of thin air in the yard—a shimring wormhole.
He pulled up the hood of his Hunter suit, covering his whole body, and jumped straight into the crack without hesitation. Gali followed close behind. Within monts, the two disappeared into the wormhole, and the rift sealed behind them as if it had never existed.
'Hey, Gali, what is this—'
In the vacuum of space, Blaine couldn't make a sound, so he gestured with his hands, forming his words through thought instead. Soone like Gali—one of the universe's higher beings—wouldn't be hindered by sothing as trivial as the absence of air.
The mont he arrived, Blaine realized just how insignificant he was—not only in size, but in power.
Every mont in space felt like being struck by invisible hamrs. The energy pressure was so overwhelming that compared to it, the energy leaks from Earth's dinsional cracks were nothing.
Luckily, Blaine had raised his physique to 375 points, wore the Hunter suit, and had an IV.6 Diamond Body. Those factors barely allowed him to survive the brutal environnt. The Hunter suit maintained his breathing, but every second his body scread in protest. He was enduring more than resisting.
Floating in the void, Blaine pointed toward several glowing orbs in the distance—each the size of a basketball—and gestured in curiosity.
Space was silent and endless, lit only by faint starlight and the blazing glow of a nearby fixed star. The rest was pure darkness. A primal fear crawled through him—what if sothing enormous erged from that black abyss and swallowed him whole? Thankfully, Gali's presence beside him was a comfort.
"That's your fixed star—the Sun," Gali's voice echoed effortlessly into his mind. Being a child of the Creator God, she belonged to the universe itself, unrestricted by its physical laws.
"What? The Sun? Wait—this ring's a weakened version of the Space Stone. Isn't it supposed to travel up to a billion light-years in one jump? Why are we still in the Milky Way?"
Host, the weakened version of the Space Stone is unstable. Its *maximum* range is one billion light-years.]
"What? So you're saying every teleport is random?"
"That would be a fair assessnt."
Blaine's face darkened. He felt his IQ take a hit as imaginary horses galloped through his brain. 'Great. Spent a fortune and ended up with a defective knockoff.'
He sighed. "Guess that's what I get for being broke. Fifteen-minute cooldown, huh? Guess we're stuck here for a bit."
"Gali—uh, yeah, that…"
"Got it."
In the next instant, their surroundings shifted again.
Now the Milky Way spread out clearly before them—exactly like the images in Earth's astronomy books.
Blaine floated with excitent, swimming through the cosmic sea as if it were an ocean. Suddenly, he appeared beneath a nearby teorite and, mimicking Superman, slowly lifted it over his head.
Then, using teleportation again, he hopped from teorite to teorite, laughing like a child. But he quickly realized how limited his power was—tens of thousands of ters, hundreds of kiloters—even crossing the Pacific Ocean felt trivial here.
He glanced over at Gali. The little goddess treated the universe like her backyard. She shrank an entire planet down to the size of a ball, perched on it lazily, and nibbled at it like a snack as she floated past.
Blaine shuddered.
It was terrifying. He was barely managing to survive out here, and she was treating the cosmos like a playground. To her, this endless void was nothing more than a stroll through her garden.
