Chapter 1132: Unexpected Entity

"What… even is that?"

"That used to be a planet — and I'm sure there's still a planet inside it… but I wouldn't really know since I haven't visited the place for a very long time."

The Nothing Nothing ship was slowly approaching the planet covered in violent clouds — and from afar, it almost sounded like the entire planet was growling from all the lightning crawling across its surface.

"...Are we sure there's even a planet inside?" Aurora squinted her eyes as she carefully controlled the ship; ready to fly away in the first sign of trouble, "But then again… no one would have been able to travel across the Grand Triangle if it wasn't because no one would have the map."

"I appreciate you for answering your own question, Aura," Miss Pepondosovich also stood in front of the window shield; her eyes, squinting as she tried to sense for any Higher God that might also be resting on the third planet, "...What do you call this one, then?"

"We called it the Sphere World," Monkeh breathed out, "Since it is the only planet here that is actually in the shape of a globe – but now, I do not really know what it is called."

"Do you sense any gods inside the planet, Miss Pepondosovich?" Riley, who was currently cleaning Set's corpse, also glanced at the roaring planet before looking at Miss Pepondosovich.

"...No," Miss Pepondosovich shook her head, "...But I do detect someone inside that might be worth your time, Riri."

"It's probably the woman who made the planet like that," Monkeh crossed her arms.

"So, it is not a Higher God?" Riley let out a small sigh as he just started walking away, "I was hoping to add another one to our collection – it is too bad. I suppose we have to wait for a little bit more, Aurora."

"Wh—I don't even want there to be a corpse inside the ship in the first place!" Aurora could not help but just scream in frustration as she heard that, "I feel like it's looking at me from time to time, it's so creepy!"

"It's definitely just you, Aura," Miss Pepondosovich hopped toward Set's frozen corpse, "I think this guy's incredibly dead. Deader than most, at least. The only reason he doesn't look dead is because of his body — he probably wouldn't start decaying until several billion years have passed, and then it would take another several billion years for it to actually decay completely, if even…

…that means our friend here would be in this ship for billions of years."

"...I don't think I would even live after next month," Aurora let out a small sigh as she looked at the approaching clouds, "Okay, here we go. Entering the maybe hostile planet."

Aurora slightly gritted her teeth and winced as they passed by the very first layer of clouds — surprisingly, however, the clouds just parted for them, letting them smoothly enter the planet without even a single turbulence.

"Huh…" Aurora blinked a couple of times as she looked at the clouds surrounding their ship, "...It's the first time I've seen something like this. Most planets have clouds, right?"

"Only the healthy ones, I think," Monkeh squinted her eyes, "You've never seen clouds before…?"

"I was born in Everywhere," Aurora shrugged.

"That would make you just 16 years old," Miss Pepondosovich joined in on the conversation as she looked at Aurora from head to toe, "And born after the Immortality Event… but you said you've been in the Nothing Nothing squad for a very long time…

…something doesn't add up."

"She's suspicious," Monkeh also started looking at Aurora from head to toe, "...There's also the fact that she could follow Riley and Set's movements."

"It's… probably just because of my eyes," Aurora just waved her hand, "There's nothing special about me… at least I think so."

"...At least you think so?" Both Miss Pepondosovich and Monkeh started approaching Aurora with their eyes squinted, "Very, very suspicious. Very suspicious, indeed. What are you hiding, Aura?"

"I'm not hiding anything!" Aurora violently shrugged her shoulders and screamed, "I don't even know who I am!"

"Oh…?" Miss Pepondosovich and Monkeh looked at each other, "Interesting… why don't you tell us more?"

"I'm…" Aurora closed her eyes, "...My earliest memory is already being an adult. I can't really tell you anything else, but maybe if we—Woah."

And before Aurora could finish her words, she could not help but widen her eyes as soon as the thick clouds completely cleared out — and it cleared out almost instantly, and there, a vast green and extremely blue planet welcomed them.

"Huh…" Monkeh blinked a couple of times as she stared at the blue planet, "...I guess only the outside looked chaotic. I guess whoever set the clouds up just didn't want people coming in too much."

"Where… would we even land?" Aurora looked at their radar for any pings and waited for anyone to radio them, but even after they entered the planet's atmosphere, no one welcomed them, "Should we just fly around until we find a city or something…?"

"This place seems extremely peaceful all things considered," Miss Pepondosovich said, "...And it's normal…

…and that means something extremely fishy is going on here like Aurora's past."

"Guys," Aurora could really only sigh. She was about to rebuke her words, but something suddenly showed up on their radar. Aurora quickly turned off all the tech of the ship that would consider them hostile,

"This is an explorer ship, we are requesting to dock on the planet," Aurora then sent out a wide broadcast so that whatever was approaching them could receive it – she did not actually need to, however, as the thing that was being picked up by their radar was now hovering right in front of their ship,

"...Androids?" Aurora whispered as she saw the three humanoid machines in front of them — her question, however, was quickly answered as the humanoid machine's face opened up to reveal an actual live human inside.

[What is your purpose of visit in the Sphere World?] The man behind the mech armor spoke.

"We are only here to retrieve the latest map to the next planet island," Aurora smiled so that they would be perceived as friendly.

[If we provide that to you now, will you still dock on the planet?]

"...No," Aurora shook her head as she looked at the people in mech-armors, "We would have liked to have brought some of the local provisions, but if you can provide us with the map right now, then we would leave immediately to avoid any trouble."

The people in mech-armor all looked at each other as they heard that. And after a few seconds, they all nodded their heads at the same time.

[Please, follow us.]

"...Okay," Aurora then glanced at Monkeh and Miss Pepondosovich before trying to find Riley on the bridge, but he was no longer to be found anywhere, "Riley's not going to do anything, right?"

"...I'll go check on him," Miss Pepondosovich let out a small sigh as she left the bridge, only to return a few seconds later with her eyes wide open, "So…

…he's not there."

"...What do you mean he's not–"

[How dare you show yourself again in front of me!?]

And before the three of them could even wonder where Riley could be, a loud voice resounded throughout the entire ship.

[How fucking dare you!?]

No. As the voice once again trembled in their ears, it became evident that the voice wasn't reverberating throughout their ship at all… but throughout the entire planet.

"What's going on!?" Aurora quickly asked the people in mech-armor, but the three of them just quickly flew away without even glancing back at their ship, "This…"

Aurora and the others all looked at each other. They all knew who was causing this all of this commotion, but they refused to admit that it was really him — after all, he had just caused chaos several days ago in the Pyramid of Set… surely, his antics would be resting, right?

Unfortunately, the only one who really knew of Riley's tendencies was Miss Pepondosovich, and she was now just letting out sighs of relief and shaking her head. And before she could actually tell Aurora and Monkeh stories about Riley's extremely random tendencies, a loud thunder reverberated throughout the entire planet; deafening those unfortunate enough to be closer to the skies…

…which in this case, were her, Aurora and Miss Pepondosovich.

"Maybe… we should just ride the smaller ship next time and just leave Riley alone in this ship," Aurora could not help but just let out a small sigh while shaking her head, "We should… probably leave and—"

And before Aurora could finish her words, they finally saw Riley in the distance… fighting with a woman with green hair.

[I have traveled so far to get away from you… so why…] The sound that reverberated throughout in the entire planet trembled,

[…why are you here in front of me!?]
