Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Interstellar discovery

As Adrian accidentally tumbles through the portal with his guards following behind immediately, after settling all the problems and aftermaths of the battle and helping Clary adjust in the house again with his son, he enters a realm of deep mysteries and unfathomable wonders. To his astonishment, he discovers the colossal interstellar warship named Colossus lurking behind the portal, a vessel of unimaginable power. The truth of other creatures living in the Void and space is revealed, shaking Adrian to his core with this discovery.

The void, torn apart by the warship's cannon blast, reveals an abandoned and empty expanse, with a few void creatures coming out, which are quickly dispatched by the guards. After exploring for a while, they come to the pilot cockpit, which has a master chair pilot, with other various consoles for other mechanisms for the 'Colossus'. When Adrian read a conspicuous notebook on the seat in Infront of a closed window, he discovers something...

A short note is discovered in the notebook. While he doesn't recognize the weird strokes of lines, he can understand them as a text and its meaning, not recognizing the reason for this ability.

"Whoever is reading this, by that time, I will be dead. The void cannon has also destroyed the veil between the void and the sea at the weak point, allowing the enemies to come out. Watch out for them for me, as they have destroyed my hometown fully. As the owner of Colossus, this is my only and last defeat in protecting something. I lost. Thus, I pass on my ship, to a next worthy owner. May you survive and use my ship to its purposes and guard your loved ones. Good b^e|"

After realizing this monster ship can be gained, with a mix of trepidation and excitement, the guards and Adrian embark on the vessel, ready to unravel the secrets of the void and the stars.

As Adrian explores the warship, he uncovers ancient texts and records that shed light on the existence of other intelligent beings in the cosmos. The knowledge he gleans shatters his previous understanding of the universe. The void is not merely a desolate expanse but a home to diverse and enigmatic civilizations.

....

Within the depths of the Colossus, Adrian finds himself surrounded by holographic displays, showcasing the vastness of space and the myriad of alien races that populate the cosmos. He delves into the ancient texts, studying the histories, cultures, and technologies of these distant civilizations.

The realization that the universe is teeming with life fills Adrian with awe and curiosity. He begins to comprehend the intricate web of interstellar politics, alliances, and conflicts that shape the galaxies beyond. The void, once a symbol of emptiness and despair, now becomes a canvas for exploration and discovery.

Guided by his Contour guards, each with their unique elemental powers, Adrian ventures deeper into the warship, determined to uncover the secrets that lie within. As they traverse the colossal halls and winding corridors, they encounter remnants of advanced technology and evidence of battles fought long ago.

Amidst the relics and artifacts, Adrian stumbles upon a chamber containing holographic archives, presenting glimpses into the lives and struggles of the void's inhabitants. Stories of love and loss, of triumph and tragedy, unfold before his eyes, revealing the complexity and richness of these alien civilizations.

One particular holographic recording catches Adrian's attention. It depicts a powerful and ancient race known as the Luminreians, beings of pure energy who have mastered the manipulation of light and possess profound knowledge of the cosmos. Their wisdom and guidance have guided numerous civilizations, including those inhabiting the void.

Intrigued by the Luminreians, Adrian yearns to understand more about their existence and their potential connection to his own guardian powers. He embarks on a quest to seek out remnants of Luminreian knowledge, hoping to unlock the true extent of his abilities and harness the power of light in its purest form.

With the guidance of his Contour guards, Adrian ventures to remote corners of the Colossus, searching for hidden chambers and forgotten archives. Along the way, they encounter obstacles and puzzles left behind by the warship's previous inhabitants, testing their wits and teamwork.

As they delve deeper into the mysteries of the warship, Adrian's connection to his Contour guards deepens. The bond between them strengthens as they rely on each other's powers and expertise to overcome the challenges they face. They become a well-oiled machine, a united front against the unknown.

After months of exploration and study in the spaceship , with the relief of his family's safety, Adrian's quest bears fruit. He discovers an ancient Luminerian artifact, a radiant crystal pulsating with cosmic energy. Holding it in his hands, he feels a surge of power and understanding coursing through him. The crystal resonates with his guardian power, amplifying his abilities and unlocking new depths of his potential.

The island itself, influenced by Adrian's journey and the newfound wisdom of the Contour guards, undergoes a transformation. Structures and technologies inspired by the advanced civilizations encountered aboard the Colossus begin to emerge. The island becomes a hub of innovation and progress, a testament to the potential that lies within the human spirit.

As Adrian gazes upon the island, now thriving with life and vibrancy, he feels a profound sense of accomplishment.
