As the energy of the Space Jump Ring gradually gathers, the entire cabin begins to fill with a subtle vibrating sensation, accompanied by deep humming sounds. This feeling is both novel and nerve-wracking for Kyle, who widens his eyes and curiously observes the changes in the surrounding environment. Ray Jin also appears somewhat uneasy, lightly tapping Kyle's leg with its three tails, as if seeking comfort.
Noticing Kyle and Ray Jin's reactions, Diego calmly explains, "Don't worry, Kyle, this is normal. The Space Jump Ring is gathering energy to tear through space, creating a passage to another destination. This is how we can travel quickly through the universe." His voice is filled with experience and confidence, as if this situation is routine for him.
Kyle listened to Diego's explanation and felt a sense of relief. He turned his head and looked out the window. The energy waves emanating from the space jump ring were emitting a strange glow in space, as if painting a mysterious picture. Kyle knew that he was about to embark on an unimaginable journey.
Suddenly, the center of the Space Jump Ring lit up with a dazzling light, and a light gate slowly formed, seemingly waiting for The Votan to enter. Diego gently manipulated the control stick, guiding the spacecraft slowly into this shimmering portal.
Slowly entering the center of the Space Jump Ring, the entire cabin was surrounded by a shimmering light. The rays from the jump ring seemed to weave a sparkling web around the spacecraft, tightly enveloping The Votan. As time passed, these rays gradually intensified, eventually forming a brilliant and dazzling light gate.
Kyle and Ray Jin gazed at this magical sight, feeling both amazed and curious. Kyle felt a kind of excitement and nervousness he had never experienced before. He imagined that this gate might take them to a place so distant and mysterious. Ray Jin used its agile tail to gently tap Kyle's arm, seemingly sensing the adventure about to unfold.
Diego skillfully operates The Votan, allowing the spacecraft to enter the light gate steadily. There is no trace of panic or anxiety on his face, only deep concentration and confidence. Diego seems to have mastered the art of traversing space, like an experienced captain leading his fleet through unknown seas.
As the spacecraft fully enters the light gate, the surrounding scenery begins to change rapidly. The familiar starry sky and distant celestial bodies disappear, replaced by a twisted spatial channel whose color constantly shifts from deep blue to purple, then to a dazzling gold. The Votan seems to be caught in a swirling vortex, racing toward an unknown destination.
Kyle felt a wonderful sense of weightlessness, as if his whole body was floating. He watched as the objects in the cabin, which were originally fixed, began to float in the air, filled with amazement. All of this was both novel and incredible to him.
Diego, on the other hand, focused all his attention on controlling the The Votan, ensuring that the spacecraft traversed this distorted space smoothly. His hands tightly gripped the control stick, his gaze steady, and a hint of a smile occasionally appeared on his face, as if he was enjoying this unique journey.
Looking at the colorful portal, Kyle asked Diego in a low voice, "Where are we going now?" Diego put down the cigarette in his hand, shook the ash into the nearby ashtray, and extinguished the already short and hot cigarette.
Turning to Kyle, Diego looked at him with a hint of imperceptible fatigue and determination in his eyes. His voice was deep and meaningful: "Our destination? Well, that's a good question. Actually, we are fleeing right now, so the specific destination is not important. What matters is getting out of this dangerous area. But I have an idea."
"Fengkai Star," he repeated, "is a relatively peaceful planet in the border region. It is not closely monitored by the empire, so it is a good temporary refuge for us."
Kyle listened quietly. He was not unfamiliar with the border region, as it was where he grew up, but Fengkai Star was a completely new name to him. He imagined what the scenery there might be like, and whether it was different from the border region he was familiar with.
"We can take a short rest there," Diego continued, "regroup, and perhaps find some allies. After all, there are still forces resisting the empire in this star domain."
Kyle nodded, but he had many doubts and fears in his heart. They had just escaped the empire's pursuit, and now they were about to throw themselves into a completely new and unknown place. All of this made him feel both excited and uneasy.
"No worries" Diego smiled at Kyle and said, "I will make sure we arrive safely. And you still have Ray Jin with you, right?"
"Once we reach Fengkai Star, we will go our separate ways," Kyle said loudly, his tone revealing a hint of indifference but more of determination.
"You are drifting alone in the universe, only to be tracked down faster by the Empire, or encounter other unknown dangers," Diego continued, "You need a plan, a direction, and most importantly, you need allies." Diego's voice echoed in the spaceship cabin, with a hint of urgency and concern. He looked at Kyle with care in his eyes.
However, before Diego could finish his words, Kyle interrupted loudly, "Don't forget! Arthur Grayson, it's because of you that my family was destroyed! It's because of you that Darius' legion came to Sunset star! It's because of you that Selena killed my parents!"
Diego's face showed a hint of sadness as he looked deeply at Kyle, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He seemed to want to explain something, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
"Kyle," Diego said softly, "I know you're very angry and in pain right now. I'm not trying to make excuses, but things are not as simple as you think. I..."
Kyle coldly interrupted Diego, "I don't want to hear your explanation, Arthur Grayson. From the moment we arrived at Fong Kai Xing, we have had no connection. I just want to find the truth and discover my own path."
A hint of helplessness flashed across Diego's face, but he didn't try to persuade Kyle again. He knew that the current Kyle wouldn't listen to any explanations. For someone who had just lost a loved one, any words seemed feeble and powerless.
Silence spread in the cockpit, only the deep and quiet interstellar space outside proved that they were still moving forward. Kyle turned his head and looked at the distant stars, filled with uncertainty about the future and anger about the past in his heart.
