Chapter 159 The Lonely Journey

The Tesseract, possessing spatial powers, cannot be stored in the Disassemble Space.

The Power Stone, which embodies the aspect of Power, can indeed be stored in the Disassemble Space…

This seems fine, but Arthur clearly lacks a way to verify the authenticity of the item.

The Disassembler is currently upgrading; otherwise, he could have tried to Disassemble it.

If it couldn't be Disassembled, that would prove there is a high chance that the Orb he has acquired is real.

Though there are other possibilities, at this stage, Arthur could only stare at The Orb, sighing, "Well, I'll deal with this later!"

After leaving the abandoned building, Arthur also tried searching around to see if he could find anything valuable. As a Raider, it's basic professional ethics to make the most of every opportunity.

However, the results left Arthur extremely disappointed; this place was indeed a barren wasteland!

Moreover, just like when he arrived, there were still no dangers, which felt a bit unusual to Arthur.

"This process is too smooth, isn't it?"

Even after reaching the Spaceship's cockpit and launching into space, Arthur couldn't quite believe it: "Has the bad luck that's been dogging like an unscratchable itch finally left?"

Despite feeling a strange urge to be cheerful, he still didn't let his guard down, worried that powerful enemies might be lurking in the universe.

Yet, the space was empty, and despite his cautious mindset, Arthur found no enemies after crossing over the Jump Point and entering a new part of the universe.

"Strangely, I'm a bit disappointed."

Arthur blinked and then grimaced: "Am I being ungrateful? Isn't no danger a good thing?"

By now, he had completely relaxed his guard. After switching from manual to automatic driving, he took out The Orb and began to fiddle with it.

He tried to open it, but no matter how he twisted it, it wouldn't budge.

He then attempted to use The Eye of Horus to examine the internal structure. However, as soon as The Eye of Horus integrated with the interior, it… disappeared!

"Disappeared? Really?"

Arthur's eyes widened, and after various attempts and explorations, he ultimately gave up.

Neither force nor clever tricks would open the sphere.

Perhaps there would be a method in the future, but for now, he was at a loss with this item.

"Well, it's better this way; at least the chance of it being a genuine Power Stone has increased."

Arthur blinked slowly, then stored the Orb back in the Disassembler Space and gazed absentmindedly at the current cosmic vista.

What awaited him next was a long six-month journey. What should he do?

Peter had prepared quite well for him, with ample fuel, plenty of food, and some books and comics.

However, with his fast reading and memory skills, he finished all these little things within a week.

Following that, the next half-month was excruciatingly dull. He wandered around the rest area daily and grew increasingly agitated.

"Indeed, long journeys make one restless!"

Arthur pinched his brow while trying to calm his mindset.

He decided to find something to do.

Initially, he intended to continue his research on genetics, but aside from calculations, there was nothing much he could do.

In the end, he focused on his colorless energy.

Arthur began experimenting with his colorless energy, not using The Eye of Horus's method or energy-based combat techniques but simply applying his own approach.

"First step, spread the colorless energy across my palm! And, without any steel or iron!"

Arthur sat inside the spaceship, talking to himself: "According to the fist manual, with focused attention, one can mobilize their own energy. I'll give it a try…"

He focused on his palm for another half month.

Aside from refueling the spaceship, he spent the entire time staring at his palm, behaving like a severe hand fetishist. Although he wasn't sure if such a fetish really existed, Arthur felt like he was turning into a weirdo!

However, once this became almost a habit, Arthur discovered that he had indeed managed to channel the colorless energy and cover his palm with it.

His whole hand glowed with a bright white light!

"Hm… Am I turning into a white-handed character now?"

He took out the double-handed sword from the Disassemble space and mused: "The clothes don't match."

After about ten minutes of excitement, Arthur found that this energy manipulation seemed to open a door to a new world.

Once he managed it the first time, doing it a second time became much easier.

Though it didn't seem very powerful, when he unconsciously pressed his glowing hand on the table and nearly ripped the welding-fixed table off the ground, he thought of new applications.

He noticed that when he focused his intent, this power had a fascinating stickiness to it.

This reminded him of some interesting things, and he tried applying this power to his feet.

When his feet began to glow with the same white light, he took the first step toward the wall…

The experiment was incredibly successful. Arthur discovered that as long as he wanted, he could stand anywhere!

Whether it was on a 90-degree wall or the ceiling, he could "stick" himself to any surface.

This reminded him of the chakra training in *Naruto*!

He then lay on the ceiling, flailed his arms around, and shouted, "Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet!"

Naturally, nothing happened, but Arthur was delighted: "The feeling of returning to my teenage self is great!"

However, this game didn't entertain him for long, and soon Arthur found himself bored again.

Boredom led him to consider pushing his limits. He tried wrapping himself in colorless energy and stepping out of the spaceship to face the vacuum of space.

The result was that the vacuum, being all-pervasive, penetrated his "defense" directly.

Later, he realized that this method was quite rudimentary. In contrast, having steel-like bones allowed him to maintain vitality in space with his own strength.

After being exposed to the vacuum, he was astonished to find that brief contact with the vacuum didn't kill him.

"My body has become this powerful?"

Arthur wasn't sure if he should be proud of this. It seemed he was gradually transcending the human realm and stepping into a higher level.
