If you have the will, once the conditions are met, you’ll be able to break free from your orbit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『You mean that insane plan?』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! The Sun revolves around us, supplying energy, and we use that power to escape our orbit and roam the universe. If you and the Sun agree, what’s the problem?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo gestured with his fingers to illustrate an orbit, Earth clutched its forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『There is a problem, you ignorant fool.』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『The Sun is still a part of the galaxy.

A planet daring to leave its orbit is basically an act of defiance against cosmic order…』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, that’s not it.

Our very existence is a violation of cosmic order!》\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo’s commanding voice spread, making the reeds in the area all bend in the opposite direction of the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, let’s say becoming a planet-ship is a challenge to cosmic order, and for lower planets, it’s an overreach. But why?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『…Why what?』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is it so hard? Why is becoming a planet-ship so difficult?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『That’s obviously because…』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Earth was about to say, \"Because it requires leaving orbit,\" Yeongwoo cut in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s because planet-ships are absurdly strong.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『What…?』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth’s vision blurred momentarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yeongwoo, unfazed, continued speaking his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Otherwise, why would their construction be made so difficult? They’re too powerful, so it was designed to prevent just anyone from making them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『W-What are you talking about…?』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Think about it. A cosmic villain? I just need to be good at crime. A cosmic hero? I just need to be a good person.

That’s not something I can achieve alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a cosmic planet-ship to exist, both a crazy representative and a crazy planet were needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then could they unite in agreement and take the unprecedented step of leaving their original orbit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『B-But I…』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Earth was about to protest that it wasn’t a crazy planet, Yeongwoo suddenly reached out and clamped a hand over its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clench!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Think carefully! You can become a planet-ship now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『……!』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before, neither you nor most planets in the universe had crazy enough representatives.

This isn’t a disaster befalling you—it’s your chance to become the disaster of the universe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Yeongwoo finally removed his hand from Earth’s mouth, a heavy silence fell over the area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaa…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the reeds, which had been swaying, stilled, and the clouds overhead seemed to freeze in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『I… a disaster of the universe?』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s right, buddy.

Everyone will be watching us.』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Earth trembled at the thought of the vast and boundless cosmos, Yeongwoo placed a reassuring hand on its shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Quit whining about orbits. That’s just your instinctive fear talking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it might not be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeongwoo had never lived as a planet, so he couldn’t fully comprehend Earth’s perspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Translator - Night]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Proofreader - Gun]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one thing was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you make the same choices as other planets, you'll end up with the same results.

We haven't even received the Sun's approval yet.』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Earth pointed out, they hadn’t gotten the Sun’s approval—let alone Yeongwoo marrying the Sun’s princess, his so-called fated partner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant that even if Earth agreed, a planetary ship wouldn’t just magically appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yeongwoo already had an answer to that, too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just build the planetary ship first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『What?』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then the Sun will have no choice but to come and see what's going on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『You… You’re seriously insane.』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earth couldn't help but gape at Yeongwoo's method of \"summoning the Sun.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't add any nonsense like 'how dare you'—just answer me.
