Strings Of Domination - Chapter 77
Somewhere in the unknown and vast cosmos, a planet with a bright gold color drifted around a bright blue sun while several smaller moons were moving around it with slow speed.
This planet’s name was Nelea, a somewhat special mining planet under the supervision of the Thousand Blood and the Fairy Race.
While many mining planets held only average ores such as Glow Adamant, Silver Steel, or Opal Gold, Planet Nelea held various rare ores such as Lunar Tin, Earth Bronze, and even raw Gold Jade Crystals in great amount!
It was not even a question of just how precious and valuable of a resource this planet was, hence it was not a huge surprise to see many smaller spaceships and a few bigger-sized battleships patrolling around the planet in an orderly fashion.
However, this seemingly well-organized formation seemed to become chaotic the very moment the sirens on the planet suddenly went off, forcing all soldiers on both the spaceships and on the planets to look alarmed and confused.
“What is the meaning of all this?” a female creature with otherworldly features stormed inside the control center, her moon silver eyes staring holes at the two Thousand Blood in front of her.
She wore silver armor that stuck to her slim figure perfectly, heightening her curves, especially her bosom significantly and enhancing her charm by a great margin. She had smooth and untied silver hair that fell behind her neck onto her shoulder like a river fall together with flawless white skin that looked extremely soft to the touch.
Everything about her was perfect, even her style, gestures, and posture, making anyone wish to kneel down and pray for her, thinking she was a goddess that just descended onto the earth!
“Lady Alina!” both creatures immidieatly jumped up onto their feet and saluted with respect before quickly explaining what happened.
When Alina heard that there was a small spaceship on its way toward this planet with a Dimensional Creature in tag, her pretty face stiffened and her cherry lips pressed together firmly.
“Do we know who is piloting that spaceship?” after a brief moment of pondering, Alina asked, her gaze fixed on the live feed that was currently playing on the panels and showing the fleeing spaceship and the approaching calamity behind it.
“We tried to get in touch with the ship, but it turns out our signal can’t reach them. No, instead of saying it didn’t reach them I must say we have gotten no response back even after several attempts.” the creature that seemed to be in charge of the control room explained, his tone filled with nothing but respect.
“No response?” Alina frowned when she heard those words and couldn’t help but feel something was not right.
After thinking for a while she asked, “Did you scan the spaceship using the device?”
“If Lady Alina refers to the Life Force Detector device, yes we have already done our job.” said the creature with a firm nod.
Life Force Detector was a unique device designed and constructed by the White Dwarfs whose Legacy allowed them to create things that other Races could not even after hundreds of attempts! It was capable of detecting life force inside sealed or closed spaces in exchange for a small amount of Gold Jade Crystal, helping to determine the number of individuals inside the spaceship.
“But according to the device, there are only two individuals on the spaceship. Also, we have used another method to see if there were any seals formed on the ship, helping us to notice if anyone else was trying to hide, but we found none.”
‘So they are no intruders nor thieves trying to get on this planet, huh?’ Alina thought in her heart and seeing as the spaceship now could arrive at any given moment with the Dimensional Creature, she waved her hand and said, “Order all units to get ready for battle and use whatever means to stop that creature to approach this planet.”
“B-But Lady Alina… That creature is…” the Thousand Blood wished to say something when he abruptly halted when noticing Alina’s cold and indifferent gaze.
“Yes, I am well aware just what kind of being that creature is, but from its presence, I assume it has only just broken through its bottleneck hence it is only a little bit stronger than a peak Warmaster.” Alina spoke calmly and added, “Furthermore, I am pretty sure with the strength we have, we can at least force it to flee if not kill it.”
Then, her previously indifferent face suddenly turned serious and cold while her tone became sharp like a sword’s, “So quit whining around and do what I said! We no longer have time to waste!”
“U-Understood!” the two creatures saluted and were ready to inform all units to get ready for battle when they halted their moves and turned toward Alina.
“And what about the spaceship?”
Alina this time showed a small smile that seemed to be somewhat cunning and said, “Let it pass through our defense and land safely. I will make sure to deal with those two.”

“We are almost there!” inside the small spaceship that was now only filled with the light of red, Amy exclaimed excitedly when she noticed Planet Nelea in the distance.
Nash showed an excited expression too when he saw the gold planet in front of them, but soon his face sunk when he noticed numerous spaceships with the size twice as large as the creature behind them appear one by one, seemingly blocking their way!
“Battleships? And three at that?” Amy’s eyes widened and quickly glanced at the information that was attached to the planet on the Dimensional Map. But when she reached the end, her pretty face lit up, understanding why there were so many battleships in front of them.
“No wonder! This planet is no ordinary mining planet. It contains Lunar Tin, Earth Bronze, and even raw Gold Jade Crystals! This planet is literally a gold mine!” Amy said as she showed the information to Nash on her side.
Nash took a quick glance at the description and could only sigh. So that is why… Now things made perfect sense.
‘What should we do?’ Nash fell into silence while he controlled the spaceship with full focus and glanced at the panel on his side which showed the amount of energy the spaceship had. But seeing only a small amount remained, soon a chuckle escaped from Nash’s mouth as he said, “It is pretty obvious already, isn’t it?”
With those words, he pressed firmly his palms on to of the two orbs, forcing the spaceship to move forward with a speed that was slightly faster than previously.
Nash was ready to force his way through the blockade of the three battleships and the numerous smaller ships, but to his great surprise, when he arrived close to them none of the ships attacked them and let them through with no problem.
There was not even a single ship that decided to follow them which made him something was amiss.
“They let us through?” even Amy seemed confused by this sudden change of events, trying hard to find a reason.
Nash frowned as he slowed down the spaceship’s speed and when they entered the planet’s atmosphere where the beautiful scenery below was visible, his eyes lit up and a subtle smile formed on his face.
“So that is why,” Nash quickly pressed a button on the panel, immediately activating the auto-landing system.
“Let’s go. We are hopping out here.” Nash said as he stood up and grabbed Amy by the hand.
“H-Huh? Wait.. Don’t tell me…” Amy widened her eyes and wished to say something, but even before she fócould have finished her question, Nash has already brought her before the exit of the spaceship and pressed a button on the side.
Whoosh!
The metallic doors opened after red light flashed on the sides, forcing Amy to raise her hand before her eyes and steady her stance as the wind that blew in was rather strong.
Furthermore, when she looked down her face became even pale in a flash as they were currently miles above the ground, slightly above the clouds! She knew if they were to jump, even if they were to be lucky to land something extremely thick and soft, their bones definitely would break as it would be similar to landing on solid ground!
But when she saw how Nash’s souls jumped out one by one with each carrying a crate of different sizes in their hands, she knew Nash was not joking at all and he really planned to jump out!
“Did you go nuts? We will die if we jump!” Amy shouted loudly as the wind that fluttered her hair into a mess was rather deafening.
“What did you say?” Nash asked questioningly, but when he saw that his last Soul has jumped out too, he quickly picked up Amy in a princess style and without waiting for a response jumped out.
“We are all gonna die!!!!” tears flowed out from Amy’s eyes when she saw how rapidly they were descending, thus tightening her hold around Nash’s neck she closed her eyes and buried her head into his chest.
