Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 733: Fly Away

”You want to come with me back to the other planet?” Ning asked the slime.

The slime was clearly contemplating its words as its face was scrunched up in thoughts and didnʼt even look towards Ning at all.

When it was finally done thinking, it looked around the field towards the many beasts that were working, as per its orders.

”The beasts have treated me well. Great even. I love them very much and do care for them a lot. However, they donʼt give me what I want. Intelligent conversations.”

”They are intelligent in their own right, but their servitude towards me stops them from being overly familiar and speaking their minds around me, even if they were intelligent enough.”

”As far as I know, the only beasts intelligent enough to properly converse are usually too high ranked and too pompous to try and talk with seemingly weaker beasts like me,” the slime said.

Ning understood what the slime was saying to a certain extent. It was bad enough to be alone, but when you did find a company, and you didnʼt even get to talk with the other person, it just sucked.

”If only I knew the humans were actual humans with actual lives. I would have tried to talk to them,” the slime sighed. ”Alas, I thought they were something my system created out of nothing and didnʼt even engage with them.”

”So are you certain?” Ning asked again. ”Do you really want to leave?”

The slime sighed and nodded. ”Yes, I do want to leave. Please go back to the planet and summon me. I will accept any sort of deal you have for me,” the beast said.

Ning looked at the slime with a weird grin on his face. He then turned towards the beasts that were out in the open and asked.

”What about those beasts? Do you not want to bring them back with you?” Ning asked.

”I… what?” the slime turned toward Ning. ”How can I bring them back with me? Can I summon beasts that I have already bonded with?”

”No, thatʼs not possible,” Ning said. ”But I wasnʼt suggesting you to summon them over there. Rather, I am not even going to you there myself.”

”Ho-how?” the slime asked.

”We are going to fly there,” Ning said. ”Easy, right?”

”Fly?” the slime turned to look at the sky. ”How will we breathe?”

”Weʼre not going to fly just like this of course. We are going to use a spaceship,” Ning said. ”You ever rode on a spaceship before?”

”Spaceships? Ships that sail in space? Iʼve never even heard of one before, let alone experienced it,” the slime said.

”How advanced was your world?” Ning asked. ”What was the latest discovery that was surprising everyone?”

”Latest discovery… letʼs see,” the slime thought. ”Oh right, there was this one guy that used some sort of glass to put lightning through and create light that would shine even at night.”

”Oh, you only just created a bulb huh? Thatʼs not as advanced as I had assumed your world to be,” Ning said. ”Although, the planet we are going to go to is even less developed than that.”

”Well, as long as the humans are smart enough, I donʼt really mind if they havenʼt even created the wheel yet,” the slime said.

Ning nodded. ”So, to reiterate, I have a spaceship that I will fly you back to that planet. However, I canʼt fit way too many beasts in there,” he said.

”How many?” the slime asked.

”About 200 at most. That too will cram the spaceship quite a bit,” he said.

”What about the rest? I will have to leave behind nearly 1500, wonʼt I?” the slime asked.

Ning shrugged. ”Iʼm sorry. I donʼt have much cho—” he paused. ”Stupid!” he called himself. ”Iʼm so goddamn stupid.”

”Huh? Whatʼs going on?” the slime asked.

”Nothing, sorry. Just one of the times when my brain stops working,” Ning said. ”Anyway. You donʼt have to worry about choosing only 200, we can bring all the beasts back with us.”

”We can? Okay, thatʼs good. But is your spaceship big enough to fit them all? I thought you said it was only about 200 beasts that could fit here,” the slime asked.

”Yes, it still can only fit 200 beasts. That hasnʼt changed. What I realized is that we can just do multiple trips,” Ning said.

”Huh? Multiple trips? You can do that? I thought this other planet was far away, right? Didnʼt you say it was on the other side of the sun?” the slime asked.

”Yes, donʼt worry about that. I have a way to fix that. Go tell your beasts to get ready. Weʼll be leaving in just a few minutes. Meanwhile, I think I have a job to do,” Ning said.

The slime nodded and gathered the many beasts that it had managed to tame and started explaining things that were happening to them.

”I am going to leave with that man to a new world. I donʼt know how well this world treats beasts like us, but I can promise you I will take care of you.”

”Still, those of you who want to stay behind, I will allow it. Choose,” the slime said.

The many beasts turned to look at each other, and almost unanimously shouted that they wanted to join the slime on his adventure to a new world.

While the slime was busy gathering his beasts, Ning was busy gathering all the wood that the beasts had cut up until now, including the half-built houses.

Ning decided to let the houses that were already built continue to be. It took him about 15 minutes to roam the entire cleared forest, looking for logs and woods that he would have to use to build houses for these beasts later on the other planet.

Once everything was ready, Ning arrived next to the slime and saw the first 200 beasts it had separated to take back.

”This is it?” Ning asked while looking at the beasts. He realized that most of these beasts were weaker beasts and children of the beasts.

A few of them were strong, but most of them were the bad batch of his group, clearly.

”Iʼm starting with the weaker ones. I donʼt know how long it will take, but I canʼt leave them here in case another beast comes in the meantime and attacks them,” the slime said. ”Sabron here will keep the rest of my people safe while I am away.”

Ning turned to look at the blue lizard the slime had pointed to and was a bit surprised to see that it was a Rank 7 beast. There were actually 4 different ranks 7 beasts, but the lizard was most likely the strongest one of them.

”Alright, letʼs get them on board then,” Ning said as he gestured to the open area and suddenly a massive spaceship appeared out of nowhere.

The smooth, silver ship with many metallic arms coming out from the lower section surprised the slime.

”Thatʼs a spaceship?” the slime was in full-on awe. It had probably never seen this much metal in one place. Not even in forgeries back in his home world.

A door appeared at the bottom of the ship that opened up to form stairs that led to the ship.

Ning stood by the door as the many beasts slowly approached under their masterʼs command.

Those that had legs or could fly easily climbed into the spaceship, while those that crawled or werenʼt big enough to climb were aided by Ningʼs telekinesis to get in.

After all the 200 beasts had entered the ship, Ning started checking on them to make sure they werenʼt cramped or were going to places they werenʼt supposed to go to.

”Do not touch anything here,” Ning told the beasts in a language that he didnʼt even know he was speaking.

The beasts were surprised to hear him speak their language and acknowledged his suggestion.

They would not touch anything unless they were told to.

Ning went to the front of the ship and make sure everything was okay and that it wasnʼt too heavy to fly.

The system stats didnʼt show any problem at all, so he turned to the slime and said, ”itʼs ready to go. You can tell your beasts to wait for a while. It should be quick, but still,” Ning said.

The slime quickly got out of the spaceship and explained the situation to the beasts who easily agreed to wait for the slime to come back.

With all their 4 great generals still with them, the beasts werenʼt worried much. Besides, they knew how much their master cared for them.

”Alright, get ready. I have never done this before, so it might end up being a bumpy ride,” Ning said.

”What? Youʼve never done this before?” the slime suddenly turned toward Ning.

”Nah,” Ning said with a smile. ”Thatʼs where the fun part comes from though.”

”Dear God save me,” the slime softly spoke to itself.

Ning looked over the dashboard and started tapping on things to get the ship going.

He hit a button and the thrusters on the 14 different arms simultaneously activated to slowly tilt the spaceship upwards.

At the same time, an artificial gravity system was activated to keep the people inside from sliding down.

The frozen hydrogen in the fuel chamber slowly started to thaw and turn back to gas, which the nuclear drive forced to go through nuclear fusion, creating a lot of heat and energy that was used to power the main thrusters at the back of the spaceship.

Once enough energy was produced, the spaceship lift off.
