Infinite Mana In The Apocalypse (WN)
chapter-659

The Stellar Sky Galaxy was a particularly gorgeous galaxy as it held many unique stars. Part of its name stemmed from the planets that were termed Stellar Stars, stellar bodies that could be found across the billions of stars in the wide galaxy, with some of them even being more unique as they became Stellar Realms.

The one thing that caused other Galaxies to fight for the Stellar Sky Galaxy was the unique treasure known as the Effulgent Star Pearls which could be found on the rare Stellar Stars, but these Pearls had unique attributes that caused them very hard to locate!

One could not sense them even if they spread out their aura or consciousness over an entire star, these Pearls being only visible to the naked eye as the only method of detection. It required beings to dig across an expansive star of thousands of miles!

To make it even worse, one had to be very careful while mining them, as the slightest disturbances could affect the treasures essence held within the Effulgent Star Pearls, making them quickly leak out this potent essence as it became lost in the atmosphere if one did not begin absorbing it right away. If enough shock was felt from a being rampantly using their strength to break through the layers of earth and search for them, the pearls would shatter right away as they watched the potent essence they contained quickly become assimilated in the atmosphere of the star once again.

So the treasures were rare, delicate, and hard to locate among the many Stellar Stars and Realms!

The entire task of Imperials stationed in the Stellar Sky Galaxy was to work with the Natives to locate and mine the Effulgent Star Pearls, coming to an agreement to provide a set amount to the Imperials and a set amount to the natives themselves.

Being as rare and as useful as they were, the Pearls were normally used up in a matter of days by the Imperials and Natives alike as a few were transported back to the Nexus Galaxy!

At this moment, the stock of the Pearls was nearly depleted as Andreas mentioned the locations they knew and had been mining so far were running dry.

"So all we have to do is find Stellar Stars and Realms ourselves as we can mine the Effulgent Star Pearls and use them as we wish, yes?"

Anna spoke to the dashing Andreas as they streaked across the starry space, their figures coming to a stop in front of a glimmering star that shone with a silver and white colored aurora.

"Theoretically, yes. But even we as Natives who have even been born on Stellar Stars spend a long time just to locate the Pearls, and we have to be even more careful while mining them as even vibrations can cause them damage as they leak out their wondrous essence. Even this Stellar Star in front of us that had recently begun to be mined is nearly depleted, where we are spending most of our time just trying to locate the Pearls " The son of the Ruler of the Stellar Sky Galaxy, Andreas, replied with a smile as all he got was a nod from Anna.

The veiled Princess and her maids looked with sparkling eyes towards the star that shone with a silver and white brilliance, but it was Alexander's eyes that were shining with even more intense lights than them as they gazed upon the Stellar Star with Eyes of Truth!

"What do you think, Boastful Genius? Can you show us something surprising on this matter as well?" Anna turned towards Alexander as she spoke with a tone that surprised Andreas, as whenever her words were directed towards him they were completely cold and flat. But towards this being, they actually seemed lively?

"Well, a Stellar Star that holds these Pearls is right in front of our eyes, so I don't see a reason why we shouldn't mine some ourselves." Alexander's tone that seemed extremely calm and confident rang out, drawing the eyes of the many experts guarding their party and raising the brows of Andreas and the natives of the Stellar Sky Galaxy that came with him even more.

"I don't mean to dampen your spirits, but we have lived and mined these Star Pearls for centuries, with our methods being honed and becoming impeccable over the years. Even with my experience, I can at most mine out a Star Pearl of High Grade if I'm lucky. Newcomers to mining will either destroy the Pearl completely, or come out with a Low Grade one if they're lucky!" Words filled with disdain flowed from Andreas as his eyes focused on the man coming with the party of the Imperial Princess!

He had watched the demeanor of the Imperials that had been on this region of the Galaxy and even the 10 Black Hole and 20 Nebula Ran experts the Princess came with, and neither of them looked at this being in any special way, but the Princess was constantly conversing with him.

A feeling of competition seemed to rise from Andreas as he looked at Alexander, wanting to know what qualifications he even had to stand amongst the Princess and them!

He was the son of a Galactic Ruler, a being that held control over a Galaxy!

Even if his father was under the banner of the Imperial Adjudicator, Andreas still had a powerful status. So why should this man be receiving more attention and such a tone from the Imperial Princess and not him?

His words were meant to provoke, but only a light smile covered Alexander's face as he spoke out while looking at the Stellar Star in front of them.

"Why don't we head down and see the process of locating and mining? I'm curious to try a little something myself."

His eyes were shining with intense luster because a text box with golden-red words floated in front of him, Eyes of Truth showing him an ecstatic set of information as always.

[Stellar Star] :: A unique planet that can be found in the Stellar Sky Galaxy. A notable thing about this type of star are the unique Effulgent Star Pearls that can be found from them, these pearls being capable of allowing beings to forge stars within their Nebulae with even more ease than using cores. On this particular Stellar Star, the Effulgent Star Pearls can be found at...The best way to mine them is through the use of Universal Law Essence, with a higher tiered Law being capable of granting one a Star Pearl of the highest quality…

Information upon information passed through his eyes as he hid his smile and laughed in his mind!

Spectacular treasures that were so hard to find that one could only blindly search through the star as they dug everywhere just to find their location. So delicate when they were mined that even the slightest vibrations damaged them! Yet his Trait…

It was being ridiculous as always!
