56 Chapter 56: Celestial
In the end, Jack couldn't escape the crash of the spacecraft.
The spacecraft had lost almost all of its power, and even with Jack's incredible abilities, he couldn't prevent being destroyed.
After a futile struggle, the small ship was dragged down by thick black smoke and crashed onto the surface of the yellow-brown planet.
The good news was that Jack was unharmed. His energy absorption ability is still good, and the impact not only didn't hurt him but also gave him energy.
Unfortunately, the spaceship was destroyed beyond repair due to the multiple collisions it had endured, making it impossible to fly it off again.
In other words, he was now stranded on this unfamiliar planet.
Jack stood where the ceiling once was and gazed out the window. He saw a vast expanse of yellow sand and dust, with strong winds stirring up clouds that even covered the sky.
Oddly enough, there was no star around this planet, but it was strange to have sunlight here and burning hot.
Moreover, there was oxygen on this planet, and Jack had no difficulty breathing.
At least he could survive here, but he had to think of a way to leave this place.
After thinking for a while, Jack decided he could not stay here. He needed to leave and look for a way to leave this planet.
Jack thought for a while and realized he couldn't stay here. He had to leave and find a way to escape from this planet. Ready to go, he put on the portable space suit, put it in his pocket just in case, and put on the respirator and a long cloak.
He kicked the jammed cabin door open and walked out. The roaring hurricane mixed with sand blew away, but Jack was not affected by it at all.
He put his palm on the spacecraft, put it in storage, and instantly made the huge spaceship disappear. Although it was scrapped, it still saved his life, and if there was a chance, he would like to repair it.
Of course, he didn't randomly choose a direction. Although he was dizzy just now, Jack did not forget that this planet was all earthy yellow in color, but in reality, there were other colors spread around like spots using the eagle eye.
Jack wanted to see what was there. Perhaps somebody were living there, or maybe not.
Better than being stuck here doing nothing.
…..
Time flew by, and the storm slowly diminished. The planet finally returned to calmness. Jack looked up, and although the sunlight was very bright, he didn't find any celestial bodies emitting light.
The sunlight appeared out of nowhere, and even his shadow remained at his feet.
Looking around, he could see a vast yellow sand, wide and gloomy like the Sahara Desert on Earth.
"Really strange!"
This phenomenon caused Jack to frown again. This was just too unusual.
Thinking of coming here, Jack felt faintly that some secrets might be hidden there. He felt a little excited at that thought.
Tired of walking, Jack took out the spaceship, went inside, and took a nap. When he was hungry, he ate food; when he was thirsty, he had water. He didn't feel stranded but instead felt like he was on vacation.
So Jack walked and stopped, and after about three days, he finally saw a hint of a different color.
"Finally!!"
Excited, Jack looked at the distant black area that was faintly visible in the sky. He saw it. It was clearly black, and he guessed it must be a building.
If there were buildings, it meant there were people, and there might be a way out from this place!
Thinking of this, Jack excitedly ran towards the building.
Getting closer and closer, finally, after running at full speed for about five minutes, Jack saw what the black building looked like.
After getting a good look, Jack's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
There was indeed a building, but to be precise, it was a ruin. Jack saw a piece of the building remain exposed on the surface of the sand, and it was impossible to determine what kind of building it was.
However, it could be confirmed that this was the work of brilliant beings.
It was not just one location; ruins and remains were exposed everywhere on the vast yellow sand. At first, Jack thought this might be some abandoned city, but later he realized that it might not be the case.
Each remains of this ruin had purple-black patterns densely covering its surface.
Initially, he thought it was some kind of Ford's decorative pattern, but when Jack curiously touched these patterns, he realized that it was not the case.
As he touched the patterns on the debris, his space's energy suddenly surged violently, and even Athena's divine power became wild.
This situation shocked and scared Jack, and he quickly moved his hand away and stepped back.
As he withdrew his hand, the energy within him returned to calm.
"What's going on?" he looked at his hand, puzzled. What happened just now?
After realizing this, Jack's eyes widened in surprise, and his expression changed. He seemed to have guessed something.
If that were true, then this situation seemed to be explained. The only thing that could trigger the infinity stone's energy was its energy itself.
The purple-black patterns resulted from the power of stones in the Infinity Stone.
In other words, this city was destroyed by an Infinity Stone.
No! It may not just be this city!
Jack remembered a movie he had seen, Guardians of the Galaxy. The Collector had shown a video where a member of the Celestials destroyed a planet with a staff that had an Infinity stone inserted in it
Jack didn't know what happened to that planet afterwards, whether it was completely destroyed or what
But there is a high probability that this planet is related to the one destroyed by the Celestial.
In fact, whether it is or not has no effect on him. Now, The urgent task is to find a way to leave this planet!
Jack looked at his hand and then at the lines on the debris surface, hesitating for a moment before finally deciding not to touch them again.
He was afraid that the energy inside him would erupt again. There is no Athena here to save him.
After struggling to come out of the debris, Jack continued forward, and his speed was much faster this time. Now that he had figured out where he was, he began to look forward to what the scenery ahead would be like.
...
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
During this half month, Jack had been living a life of eating and sleeping.
It was an interesting experience, but he was starting to get bored. Along the way, he had seen many ruins similar to the ones before, which made him feel even more convinced that this was the planet destroyed by the Celestial.
Strangely, Jack felt he knew which direction to go in. He had never thought about changing direction because it seemed like a voice was guiding him to keep going forward.
Finally, today, half a month later, he found the answer
"Oh, my God!" What appeared before Jack was a golden peak that rose thousands of meters above the yellow sand
No, this might not be a mountain!
"This... this... this is... a shoe?!"
