Fantasy Galaxy: Why Are There Goblins and Orcs in Space? - Chapter 9

Seeing a person from the Celestial race, who were regarded akin to gods in the Milky Way galaxy, filled me with fear. This was because I sensed the tremendous energy she held within her body.

In an instant, I felt a chilling presence, and the next moment, the naked form of Zorofiene, a member of the Celestial race, was covered in an elegant spacesuit.

“I thank the two of you who freed me from the seal of the Anubis race. Therefore, I shall offer each of you three gifts. Decide what you would like.”

Suddenly being told that gifts would be given left me at a loss. I couldn’t decide what would be good, especially since I had no idea what Zorofiene possessed or what could be offered.

Not knowing what to choose, I decided to leave it to the other party.

“Please give me the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to live in space from now on.”

Zorofiene chuckled softly, as if amused.

“Very well. I shall choose and bestow those suitable upon you.”

“I want the same as Zen,” Sario said, and Zorofiene nodded. Then, with eyes that seemed to see through everything about me and Salio, Zorofiene spoke once more.

“Your knowledge is too shallow, so as the first gift, I will grant you ‘General Knowledge.’ Next, I will bestow upon Sario ‘Control Brain Technical Information’ and ‘Physical Drive Engine Technology Expertise.'”

“Thank you very much,” Sario said, bowing his head in gratitude. Then, Zorofiene turned to me.

“Hmm, interesting. It seems Zen has the ability of Bosol Sensitivity. I shall grant you knowledge and skills regarding ‘Higher-Dimensional Access Methods’ and ‘Celestial Wave Force Energy Drive Engineering.'”

“Thank you very much.”

I still didn’t fully understand what I had received, but I expressed my gratitude nonetheless. After that, I was told to close my eyes, and I complied, losing consciousness.

“First, to use the ‘Higher-Dimensional Access Method,’ let us form a ‘Spirit Core,’ or rather, a ‘Spirit Cloud.'”

The Spirit Core and Spirit Cloud are typically made via reforming the vague existence of the soul into that of a higher-dimensional entity, serving as the core techniques of spiritual civilizations.

The Rikager Celestial race uses the Spirit Core, but Zorofiene judged that the souls of Earthlings were underdeveloped and that forming a Spirit Core all at once was impossible, so she helped me form a Spirit Cloud instead, which functionally falls short.

I awoke after the Spirit Cloud was formed and the necessary knowledge and information were inscribed into it. It now represented my soul. My Spirit Cloud was sadly small, reportedly the size of a soybean. By the way, Zorofiene didn’t know what a soybean was, so she indicated the size using two fingers.

“You may return to your small spacecraft now. I assure you both that what I have bestowed will prove useable once you are back. Farewell.”

Zorofiene vanished. I couldn’t tell what method she used, but she disappeared in an instant.

“Is this a dream?”

“No, it’s definitely reality. Let’s return to the small spacecraft, Zen.”

Feeling like a fox had tricked me, I returned to the small spacecraft. I opened the outer hatch of the airlock and entered. The inner hatch opened automatically once the air was filled, and I headed toward the cockpit.

On the way, I took off my spacesuit, and the moment I sat in the cockpit seat, a vast amount of knowledge flooded into my mind. Unable to withstand the burden, I lost consciousness.

After a while, I awoke feeling thirsty. After drinking some water, I looked around.

“Sario, wake up.”

I roused Sario, who was unconscious in the seat next to me.

“Ugh, uuh…”

When Sario woke up, he looked around with a dazed expression. After a moment, it seemed he recalled the situation.

“What’s going on? My head feels strange.”

Hearing that, I checked my own mind. I then realized that there was a vast amount of new knowledge within it. This was what Zorofiene referred to as ‘General Knowledge.’

Sario and I fell silent, beginning to verify the knowledge that existed in our minds. It was the general knowledge possessed by a Level C civilization. A Level C civilization is one that controls hundreds of star systems.

The minimum necessary knowledge for the Celestial race seemed to be at the Level C standard. This knowledge was so vast that comparing it to the knowledge of a science student on Earth seemed utterly ludicrous. Judging by the extent of this knowledge, Earth civilization was likely about a hundred thousand years behind.

“I’m hungry.”

After spending hours verifying the knowledge in my head, I suddenly felt a strong urge to eat. I invited Sario to have a meal. Even though I felt I had become a considerably better person with the increase in knowledge, we were still eating the lowest-quality survival food tubes. It was quite pitiful.

“I wonder if there’s a method to create delicious food among this knowledge we got?”

“Even if there is, we can’t actually make it because we don’t have the ingredients.”

I sighed and downed the unappetizing food with the help of water.

Sario and I spent about ten days doing nothing but verifying the ‘General Knowledge’ we had received. Sario then began to research the technical information regarding the control brain.

Meanwhile, I started to investigate the ‘Higher-Dimensional Access Method’ that Zorofiene had bestowed upon me. This included knowledge on how to make proper use of Bosol Sensitivity.

This Bosol Sensitivity is the ability to sense and manipulate Bosol particles and Celestial wave force, which have not been discovered on Earth. It seems that using this ability, one can draw in energy known as Celestial wave force and Bosol particles from higher-dimensional space.

Celestial wave force is a type of higher-dimensional energy that holds potential beyond nuclear energy. In particular, the acceleration field generator that uses Celestial wave force has been used as one of the propulsion devices for spacecraft since ancient times.

The knowledge of ‘ Celestial Wave Force Energy Drive Engineering,’ the other gift, was about the knowledge and techniques for moving objects using Celestial wave force energy. It seems that acceleration field generators are created using this technology.

By the way, Bosol particles are particles that react to the thoughts of intelligent life forms. These Bosol particles exist in another universe that is at a higher dimension than the one we live in. To access that other universe, a door that transcends dimensions is necessary.

The Rikager Celestial race seems to refer to that door as the ‘Higher-Dimensional Border Field,’ and the higher-dimensional universe on the other side as the ‘Nayuta Realm.’

The Nayuta Realm is filled with Bosol particles and Celestial wave force energy, and those who can use them become like wizards through Bosol Sensitivity.

I proceeded to meditate. Following the knowledge bestowed by Zorofiene, I heightened my willpower to its limit and constructed a Higher-Dimensional Border Field above my head via the Spirit Cloud. This was something I could never have done before encountering Zorofiene.

As I gritted my teeth and mobilized all my willpower, my consciousness connected to the Spirit Cloud managed to come before the Higher-Dimensional Border Field. I extended my consciousness toward the Higher-Dimensional Border Field and entered the Nayuta Realm.

The Nayuta Realm felt dazzling. As an inexperienced individual, I could only tell that it was filled with vast energy. My consciousness, having entered the Nayuta Realm, was subjected to tremendous pressure. The energy and Bosol particles present there were trying to seep into my consciousness and leak outside of the Realm.

I felt a sense of crisis that my consciousness would be crushed and disappear under the overwhelming energy, but the knowledge Zorofiene bestowed soon helped me cope.

I created a pathway for energy within my consciousness, like a water pipe siphoning a pool, called a ‘Power Conduit,’ and attached a ‘Control Gate’ to regulate the flow akin to a faucet. The Power Conduit and Control Gate were unique techniques of the Rikager Celestial race, and very few outside the Celestial race knew of them.

I closed the Control Gate and focused my consciousness on the Nayuta Realm. It was a separate universe filled with energy known as Celestial wave force energy and Bosol particles, a world where the foundational energy of spiritual civilization could be freely obtained.

While keeping the Power Conduit connected to the Nayuta Realm, I returned my consciousness to the real world. When I opened my eyes, I saw Sario’s face near mine.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. What happened to me?”

“You stopped responding when I called out to you, so I got worried.”

It seemed I had been in a state of unconsciousness in the cockpit seat.
