"Alice, how long have we been in the Milky Way?" Libra asked Alice inside the Stellar Spacecraft Carrier.

She had applied to enter the Milky Way specifically to deal with its inhabitants, but after spending some time here, she hadn't found anything. All she could see around her were the shimmering stars of the Milky Way.

"Alice, how long have we been in the Milky Way?" Libra inquired of Alice inside the Stellar Spacecraft Carrier.

She had entered the Milky Way with the purpose of dealing with its inhabitants, but after roaming around for a while, she had found nothing. The surroundings were filled with the dazzling light of the Milky Way.

"Alice, how long have we been in the Milky Way?" Libra asked Alice aboard the Stellar Spacecraft Carrier.

She had entered the Milky Way specifically to deal with its life forms, but after wandering here for a while, she had found nothing. The entire area was filled with the sparkling stars of the Milky Way.

"It's been 13 days since we entered the Milky Way," Alice replied promptly.

"Haven't we discovered any life forms at all?"

"Neither the scanning system of the Stellar Spacecraft Carrier nor your Psychic Power has detected the presence of any life forms, Libra."

Libra nodded. It was precisely because she hadn't found anything that she was starting to feel bored. If she had known that finding Milky Way life forms would be this difficult, she would have preferred to stay in the combat laboratory and watch Yun Ru at work. For her, it was one of the pleasures of life.

"I'm going out to take a look."

After staying in one place for too long, even Libra would get bored, especially since she wanted to complete her mission as soon as possible and return to Yun Ru.

Leaving the Stellar Spacecraft Carrier alone, Libra's body plunged directly into the waters of the Milky Way. Her body had already reached the pinnacle of its current evolution, and even the waters of the Milky Way couldn't promote her next evolution.

In the Milky Way waters, Libra's sensations were not much different from the rivers on a planet, as long as you ignored the starlight in the Milky Way. Those things were just too dazzling, making it feel like she was looking at the stars in the universe.

Libra had tried before, and her body couldn't stray too far from the Stellar Spacecraft Carrier, or she would lose her connection to it.

It seemed that there was some kind of mystical power in the Milky Way that could weaken her Psychic Power, preventing her from extending it too far.

Just like the previous times, she still hadn't found any Milky Way life forms this time, which left her puzzled.

After all, the people of the Rota Empire and the first fleet had clearly encountered Milky Way life forms, and the people on the warship had all fallen into a coma. In such a situation, it was impossible for Milky Way life forms not to be here.

But in reality, she hadn't encountered any Milky Way life forms. Was it just bad luck on her part?

Looking around, there was nothing unusual. Libra was about to return to the Stellar Spacecraft Carrier when, at that moment, her eyes seemed to catch something, a fleeting glimpse.

Her Psychic Power surged forth, but she found nothing there.

"Could it be that Milky Way life forms can only be observed with the naked eye, and neither Psychic Power nor scanning technology works?" Libra had a growing suspicion that what she was thinking might be true.

Libra glanced in the direction of the Stellar Spacecraft Carrier. If she continued forward, she might lose contact with it. But this was her only chance to possibly discover Milky Way life forms. If she missed this opportunity, who knew when she would find another one?

With that in mind, Libra left a message for Alice and rushed forward.

Alice on the Stellar Spacecraft Carrier received the message Libra left and lost track of her.

"Alice, if I don't come back, take the Stellar Spacecraft Carrier back."

Libra's speed was extremely fast, especially in the Milky Way. The water seemed to offer no resistance to her and even gave her a feeling of increased speed.

Gradually, she felt that she was catching up to the Milky Way life form in front of her. At this moment, she finally managed to catch a glimpse of what a Milky Way life form looked like.

Unlike what she had imagined as marine life, the creature in front of her resembled a cute little beast, similar to those found on land. Libra couldn't understand why it would appear in the Milky Way.

When faced with things she couldn't comprehend, Libra generally didn't bother thinking too much. It was her usual approach.

In terms of speed, Libra was slightly faster. After chasing for an unknown amount of time, she finally caught up with the Milky Way life form.

The Milky Way life form looked somewhat like a fox and a bit like a cat, with features from multiple animals. Overall, it was quite adorable, and it stared at Libra with curious, unblinking eyes.

Libra remained silent as she enveloped the creature with her Psychic Power, preparing to take direct control.

To her surprise, the creature's Psychic defense directly blocked her Psychic Power, preventing her from even entering its inner world.

This piqued Libra's interest, and she started exerting her full power. The area was completely covered in Psychic Power, and under Libra's relentless assault, the small beast also began manifesting its own Psychic Power. However, within its Psychic Power, there seemed to be a hint of impurity.

With the aid of her formidable Psychic shield and Psychic shock wave, Libra eventually triumphed, gaining direct Psychic control over the small creature.

Unfortunately, the creature couldn't speak, so she had to resort to examining its memories. Gradually, she learned about the creature's identity.

It turned out to be a Cosmic Behemoth!

However, it seemed that no one had ever discovered it, and it had no name. It had been living in the Milky Way for as long as it could remember.

Its existence spanned just a few decades, yet it possessed power that was no less than Libra's, indicating its immense potential.

From its memories, Libra also learned why the Warship soldiers had fallen into a coma; it was the creature's doing. Its original intention had been mere curiosity, hoping that these people would come down and play with it.

But it hadn't realized that its actions were causing harm and even death.

For a Cosmic Behemoth without any moral compass, it likely didn't understand the concept of killing; it was all driven by curiosity.

Despite its immense power, it was rather timid. When it saw numerous dolphins and giant squids before, it had refrained from appearing.

Only now, when Libra had discovered and captured it, did the creature's identity come to light.

"Mission accomplished. Let's go back and chat with Yun Ru. She'll surely appreciate this Experimental Material," Libra said with a brilliant smile as she reached out to stroke the small creature in her hand.

Unbeknownst to the creature, in the moments that followed, it would become an Experimental Material.

Just as Libra was preparing to return, she suddenly froze. She had no idea which direction to go to get back.

Only Alice on the Warship could constantly adjust their direction and knew which way was which, but Libra couldn't.

Without a sense of direction, if she wandered aimlessly, the end result might be that she'd be trapped in the Milky Way forever.

While there was abundant energy in the Milky Way, and she wouldn't die even if she stayed here, the eternal solitude would drive a person insane. Moreover, Libra had more than one personality!

Libra knew that staying here indefinitely wasn't feasible. She could only attempt to find a floating Warship. Perhaps, that way, she might find a way back.

The Milky Way was just too vast. Even in this narrowest part, there was still a distance of five light-years. Within such an enormous expanse, finding a Warship wouldn't be a simple task.

It was akin to searching for a single grain of gold in a vast desert.

Libra flew in one direction for several hours, finding nothing. Just as she was about to change her course, the small creature on her body emitted a cry.

A sense of imminent danger washed over Libra!
