PHEW!
As soon as he exited the interrogation room Dongfan Yue heaved a sigh of relief .
" That was damn too close , any more and I would have given myself away . " he thought to himself while heading towards the cabin he was allocated . As the Happy Movers transport shuttle was severely damaged by the Floating Lily's main cannon attack it was literally a useless piece of metal junk , thus the CEA's pirate exterminating corps agreed to bring along the shuttle's survivors since they planned to make a stop at the Carrabba star system for some official stuff .
Concerning the questions asked by Commander Zhang , Dongfan Yue was fully expecting them as it was only logical for him to ask considering how illogical the whole situation seemed . He knew that his ability was something that seemed to defy normal reasoning according to how Cubey put it but he never knew that it was this perverted , he used to previously doubt all the claims Cubey made about how divine grade abilities were most OP of all abilities but now ? now he was too shocked not to believe .
He was still thinking to himself when he heard his name .
"Mr Dongfan Yue !"
Turning around to see who it was ,he found out that it was the captain of the Happy Movers i.e Captain Miller . He was waving his hands in greetings while coming towards him , looking at how bandaged his body was yet he was still able to walk , Dongfan Yue felt a surge of guilt towards the man . He practically threw his life to the winds just to ensure the survival of his crew and the surviving passengers . He initially thought that the guy would probably be hiding in some secret compartment or get into an escape pod and abandon ship but he didn't , he rather chose to stay back and fight against Flapjack which he knew was certain death , the courage required even he wasn't sure he could easily muster . Towards Captain Miller the only feeling he harboured towards him was utmost respect .
" Here you are Mr Dongfan Yue , have been searching for you all over the place , I just wanted to thank you for your help in stopping the pirate attack , I owe you my life .
" Waving his hands Dongfan Yue replied " There is no need for this Captain Miller , it's part of my duty as a citizen of the CEA to help in times my effort is needed , furthermore we are all humans , helping out is also making good karma for myself so you know ,and oh yeah ,addressing me as brother Dongfan will do as am not that old , no need to be so formal ."
" Then brother Dongfan it is , would you care for a drink , the other survivors also want to say their thanks to you ."
" Okay, no problem , I have had nothing to do since I got on this ship , everything's just do boring ,I guess I can take the time to relax ."
And so the two individuals Dongfan Yue and Captain Miller made their way towards the bar where the other survivors were . Along the way he and Captain Miller started discussing and by the time they got to the bar you would have thought that they had known each other for years .
Upon the other survivors meeting Dongfan Yue , they practically drowned him in a pool of thanks . Most of them were already resigned to dying as they had lost all hope if survival ,however Dongfan Yue was able to save the day ! Right now how happy they were could not be expressed with words .
One by one they all proclaimed Dongfan Yue their sworn brother which greatly surprised him .
Soon they were engaged in various discussions as they were all excited , the joy of a second lease at life only those who had nearly tasted death could understand .
It was around after three to four hours of drinking and talking that Dongfan Yue was finally able to extricate himself from them , bidding farewell to Captain Miller he proceeded to his personal cabin . Upon entry he plopped down on the soft bed while staring at the ceiling ." The CEA members sure know how to enjoy life." He thought to himself , as everything about the room exibhited the opulence of the CEA officials , from the bed that was so soft he nearly sunk into it , to the specially curated design of the room which enhanced the comfortability of the room ,everything screamed how wealthy the CEA was in his face , furthermore this was just the military who were known for how minimal they liked to keep things ,how a government official's ship would be like he could not imagine for the life of him . He even thought about making a last minute change and applying for the military but he soon shrugged it off . Dawn star academy was waiting for him .
Using his mental sense he projected his consciousness into his mind . The first thing he saw in the Rubik's cube pocket dimension was that there were now two small Rubik's cube floating high up in the black space . He had asked Cubey if he could change how the pocket dimension looked to which he said yes , however he could only change it to a pure white space which looked even worse than the previous black colour , thus he stuck with the default black colour .
Next to show up in his sights was Cubey who appeared on his shoulder with a sleepy expression which made him wonder if cube's also took naps .
Looking at the two small Rubik's cube he asked " So this are the two abilities whose pattern we've derived ,ey ."
" Yes , bro Dongfan , they are now permanently abilities you can use anytime you wish to ."
The two abilities were the two abilities he got during the pirate raid . The first being the eye laser ability he got from the first pirate and the second being the Void devour flame ability he derived from Captain Flapjack. He could have derived more than just these two abilities but he didn't. He didn't want to just derive abilities just for the sake of having it , he wanted only practical and useful abilities . Captain Miller's Raging Titan ability was also considered by him but he quickly rejected it as he couldn't imagine his handsome face and physique become that hideous . Yes ,the strength Captain Miller wielded was enormous however he believed that there were better abilities of such nature out there .
After Cubey gave him a run down on all he needed to know about the two abilities he felt like he was dreaming especially on Flapjack's ability . If fully cultivated the strength was infinitly close to that of a supreme grade ability .
....
Done with that he returned his consciousness back to the real world .
He planned to sleep a little cause they would soon arrive at the Carrabba star system . He had to be in his optimal state both mind and body as he sure didn't want to miss anything upon arrival .
Closing his eyes he soon fell into lala land .
