Ning prepared to leave the Service Station.

He looked at the black sphere in front of him. It was so dense that even his super-strong arms could somewhat feel the weight.

It was apparently made up of a metal that was foreign to this universe and could only be found in some select universes.

The metal was called Aulcron, and it had cost Ning over 3 Quintillion energy to make just the smallest piece of it.

"I would've expected something so expensive to look more expensive," Saphandra said from the side.

"As long as it does its job," Ning said. "Are you sure it will be alright? I won't lose any energy right?"

<Unless you come very close to the sun or strike something that is too big to break apart, you will lose negligible amounts of energy.>

"I don't know if that is what matters though," Ning said. "Since I won't be doing any traveling in this."

"I think it's fine," Saphandra said. "Come one, let's go."

Ning nodded, but there was one more problem he had to think about. 'It should be okay,' he thought and immediately transferred over his consciousness to the small metal ball.

His body flopped over, giving Saphandra a bit of a surprise. He instinctively pushed it away from her and the body went flying to the wall.

"Hey! That's my body. Don't treat it like that," Ning said.

"You should've told me you were going to do it. I got spooked," she said.

Ning took his body into his storage and spoke from the ball. "Come, I can't go without you going in first," he said.

"Yeah, yeah," Saphandra said and entered the Spirit space in him. Once she was gone, Ning thought of the room with the space stones and teleported in.

As a small metal ball that did not exist in this universe, the censors never noticed he was there.

Ning flew over to the two largest pieces of space stones and saw not much had changed. The largest piece of space stone was still about 300 cubic centimeters in volume and would take him about 3600 lightyears away.

Not only did Ning need about 4000 lightyears worth of space stone, but he also needed another good bunch to break through the fabric of space when the other universe came floating around.

"How do I keep it though?" Ning thought. "Should I make a larger hole perhaps?"

<System suggests finding space stones after you teleport away.>

"I cannot use two at once?" Ning asked.

<You can. But you will have to create a larger portal which will drop the distance by quite a lot>

Ning frowned as he thought for a bit. "How much space stone will I need to break through the walls between the universe?" he asked.

<At the very least, you will need 4000 cubic centimeters worth of Space stones>

"That's like a dozen of these," Ning thought. He looked at the rest of the items in the room and frowned to himself.

The rest of the space stones weren't as large at all. And if he were to carry them all with him for the 4000 cubic centimeters he needed, that would make an annoyingly large shape that would decrease his distance that he could teleport by a lot.

So, the only way to get find enough space stones was to do so after he had teleported to the other side. 'How am I going to collect 4000 Cubic centimeters of these? From the federation?' he wondered.

That was the only way as far as Ning could tell.

"By the way, what should I do regarding the space stones?" Ning asked. "Do I need to find the right amount of space stones? Or can I get any?"

<System will use up all the space stones that are being used. It is impossible to use only part of the space stone.>

"Right, so I have to determine a destination now," Ning thought. That was a bit problematic as well.

Due to the time shenanigans that happened the closer he reached the center of the galaxy, he needed to find a way to quickly get his hand on some space stones.

"Wait, I just need to find myself another service station or even just the federation headquarters, don't I?" Ning thought.

"System, where's the federation headquarters?" Ning asked the system.

The star chart popped up once again and a location was pointed out on the map. "Oh it's on the other side?" Ning felt a little disappointed.

"I guess I will have to find a service station then. Show me one that is closest to the black hole on this side," Ning said.

The image changed once more and this time he saw exactly what he wanted to. About 10 lightyears away from the black hole, there was a service station hovering next to a gas giant.

Ning decided he wanted to go there, take some space stones from there, and fly over to the black hole.

"Which two should I get for the job?" Ning asked.

The system pointed out multiple combinations for him to choose from, so Ning chose two Space stones that together had about enough size to transport him over without wasting as much.

Once it was chosen, Ning pulled them out using his telekinesis powers, and immediately, the systems started blaring loud.

"Shut them off," Ning said and the alarms instantly disappeared. "Let's start it then."

Ning pulled the Space stones close to him until they were both in contact with him. Then, a vast amount of energy escaped from him, he started using the space stones.

Ning had seen the space stones used in a ship before, but it was always hidden from sight due to being in a container.

However, now he could see it fully.

The space stones practically melted, turning into a vast amount of silver-colored spatial energy that covered him. In the next moment, the system used the energy to connect two points of space in this galaxy, and then Ning vanished.
