Didn’t we already check, there was no one nearby.\" They asked in puzzlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they understood it was wise to stay cautious, Nash’s tone was heavier than usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was before. The longer time passes, the more the situation will shift. And furthermore...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore what? Is there something else?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. This Cosmic Competition has evolved into a universal level.\" Nash sighed and began to explain what Torr had told him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past few days, while building the runic servers, Torr had managed to extract more information from the Ents Race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cosmic Competition had expanded to a universal scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From every galactic territory, the top talents had been thrown into this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nash wasn’t sure how many participants there were in total, but one thing was clear: this place had become a battleground unlike anything they had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, the rules had changed somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they were inside a galactic-sized territory, the number of bridges needed to connect to the universe plane and the dark plane had been multiplied many times over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Sector Territory to Domain Territory, the more land one conquered, the greater one’s standing once this entire place was liberated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marking territory was straightforward enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they built a bridge and stabilized a connection to the dark plane, a sector radius around it would be recognized as their territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do that enough times, and the territory claimed would grow to the size of a Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, during the process, they also had to protect every bridge they built, not just from dark beasts, but from other cosmic teams as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Against dark beasts, the Void Administrator would offer some protection; however, against other teams, they were on their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they were cut off from a bridge they had built, another team could waltz in and claim the surrounding area without resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why anyone would want such a massive territory, beyond the burden of protecting, it came with large-scale blessings and a wealth of benefits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was similar to a shelter’s functions and buffs, but on a far grander, more powerful scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even holding a single bridge and occupying a sector-sized territory was equivalent to having a Sun Star Void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, building a bridge was no easy feat either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the material cost alone to withstanding the pressure it generated, it wasn’t something they could manage right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Nash’s words settled in, the words they were about to ask were stuck in their throats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From confidence, they felt the future was full of darkness and thorns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry too much. At worst, we run.\" Nash said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If things truly came to that, they didn’t need to build any bridges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could drift through space with the Sun Star Void as their anchor, bide their time, and let the competition run its course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That time alone would be more than enough to build their strength and foundation to a level where they could actually compete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, their nerves settled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right. If everything fell apart, they could always retreat and wait it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, don’t be too pessimistic. That’s just our last resort. We’re still going for the top.\" Nash said. \"And besides, aren’t I here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsk, as arrogant as always~,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now calmer, they couldn’t help but laugh at his declaration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here’s your blessing. May you find both the enemies hidden in shadow and the allies standing in plain sight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Elizabeth’s blessing in hand, they continued their journey toward the Sun Star Void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, following his intuition, Nash had Atom lead the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A week later, after travelling so far without finding anything, everyone turned to Nash with the same unspoken question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems no one has discovered this place yet.\" Nash concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having already circled the area around the Sun Star Void, his intuition, sharpened by Elizabeth’s blessing, had remained steady throughout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant the nearest cosmic team was still far out of range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a month or two, there shouldn’t be any cause for concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s head back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no external threats to worry about, a quiet lightness settled over them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as they moved fast enough, locked down the area around the Sun Star Void, and raised a proper defensive perimeter, there was nothing to fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Traveling back to the Sun Star Void, Nash asked for another blessing from Elizabeth to help them pinpoint each tier 8 dark beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In doing so, the Tier 6 and 7 battleships sweeping the area would have a much clearer and safer path to work with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding a horde of tier 7 and 8 dark beasts, the Void Pulse tore through the pack like they were nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsuka, I’ll need you to handle the purification.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the purification granted by the Void Administrator’s authority, these dark beasts would simply regenerate after some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave it to me, Master!\" Tsuka relayed through their shared connection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Tsuka could shrink its size, the Void Pulse could accommodate it with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other mysterious beasts and shelters, however, could only fly alongside the other battleships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were simply too large to fit inside even a Tier 8 battleship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, they flew in formation beside the battleship convoy, which slowed the fleet down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, after Tsuka purified every dark beast they killed, it turned into merits which could later be exchanged for void, elemental, or law energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearing one area, they moved to the next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A month later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After endless killing and purifying, all tier 8 dark beasts around the Sun Star Void had been cleared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That wasn’t easy.\" Nash sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While the Void Pulse made it seem like tearing through tier 8 dark beasts was effortless, the process had been anything but cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each shot burned through billions of Chronos worth of void crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning, during their entire campaign, killing thousands of tier 8 dark beasts, they had spent at least tens of trillions of Chronos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Powerful as it was, the Void Pulse’s energy consumption was wildly inefficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was a personal battleship, built to carry him during daily travel, not to grind through prolonged warfare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be stingy. Once we’ve taken this territory, we’ll have the Sun Star Void. We can extract every void crystal we spent and then some.\" Elizabeth muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1052,"2026-06-06T08:03:27.959Z",1,"novelbin.me","f490b9546880d318700243268ddbcdad40b11b200dc296c906729b53840d8011","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-576","i-can-program-my-body-chapter-574",665,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-can-program-my-body-cover.jpg"]
