Chapter 334: Infinity and Beyond

16th May 2013, Sayre Manor

(Jasmine Sayre POV)

I nodded, "Good. I know that you have complicated feelings about what happened, and how much I have changed, but I am still your mother, and I love you. I just need this trip to clear my head. And I did always dream about going to space."

The two girls snorted in amusement. My daughter gave me a warm smile, "I will miss you, mom."

My eyes moistened when she called me her mother, but I steeled myself, "I will miss you too, Wanda. I am trusting you both with the safety of this planet. I have faith that you'll do a good job. Goodbye, Wanda, Jean."

I walked away and went to join Hela in the garden, still overwhelmed by the simple act of Wanda calling me her mother once more. It appears that I haven't lost my daughter. That was a good feeling.

When we were finally in the garden alone, Hella asked me, "Well, where's the famous spaceship of yours?"

I raised an eyebrow and gave her a small grin. I didn't respond verbally and instead just snapped my fingers. Right next to me, the floor split in half and started to fold up. Slowly a platform rose as well with Ego's famed spaceship sitting on top of it.

I have to say, for all of the Celestial's madness and obsession with a galaxy wide genocide for no apparent reason, he had a good sense of style. The ship has a smooth, curved design with a white and gold color scheme. It looked more like a high-tech giant egg than an actual spaceship, but somehow it seemed to work.

I had fished the ship from where it was hidden after I had defeated its creator. The guy actually left it in the middle of the desert in Texas but had activated its cloaking capabilities. It took me a few hours to find the damn thing. Even then, I didn't even try to open it, and just sent it through a portal to Sayre Manor.

Still, it had been worth it to find a method of space travel right on my doorstep, and after millions of years of life, I was sure that whatever Ego had built would surely be a veritable marvel of technology, especially with the instinct towards technology that being a Celestial provides.

By channeling a small amount of cosmic energy, the door opened up, allowing us to enter the spacecraft. The interior was lined with smooth, gleaming surfaces, which reflected the warm light from the glowing panels overhead. The ship's design was sleek and modern, with very few physical buttons and controls considering that it was a spacecraft of all things.

The two of us walked down the long, curved corridor that led to the ship's central chamber. I stifled a smirk as I noticed, Hela's eyes widen in amazement, "Impressive, isn't it?" I remarked.

The Goddess of Death was too distracted by the intricate designs and symbols on the walls of the ship. She was probably feeling the raw cosmic energy that is used to power the ship. The glow pulsated, almost like a heartbeat, which made the ship feel like it was alive in a way.

When we finally reached the central chamber, Hela couldn't help but release a gasp, and I couldn't really blame her. The chamber was a massive, open space, with a high ceiling and walls that curved away into the distance. In the center of the room was a massive, glowing structure, which seemed to be the source of the ship's power.

I could hear Hela mutter to herself, "This is amazing."

I grinned and responded, "Yes, that it is."

By the time the ship had finished, we had left the solar system entirely. It barely took half an hour for that to happen. The ship then created a holographic map of the galaxy with the location of my target.

Unfortunately, it would take years for the ship to get there through normal space flight, which is why we were going to use jump points to get there. It was a network of portals created and managed by the Shi'ar Empire all over the galaxy. Well, it was mostly to rule over their own empire, but after a peace treaty with the Kree and Nova Corps thousands of years ago, it became a galaxy wide thing.

Their jump points are also one of the biggest reasons Earth was such a hot commodity. Its closest jump point was more of a knot in the network, allowing access to a large number of locations.

As for our trip, it was seventy-nine jump points away, which while a little over the recommended number for the average mortal, Hela and I were not mortals. Which made things a lot easier, since we could just handle it.

I gave Hela a challenging smirk, "Well, this trip will probably be a bumpy one, think you can handle it?"

She glared at me at the idea of doubting her, "Of course, I can."

I nodded and sat down on the sofa. A belt materialized itself around my torso and chest, locking me into place. Hela followed my lead and sat down on the opposite sofa.

Feeling a bit cheeky at the idea of space travel, I ask the ship to let me start the journey by creating a lever to pull.

Hela raised an eyebrow and I just shrugged unabashed, "I always wanted to do this."

"Do what, exactly?"

I smiled widely and bellowed, "Allons-y!!" as I pushed down the lever.

Immediately, the ship roared to life and accelerated to the nearest jump point. A hexagon made out of energy appeared, and the portal opened up.

As we entered the Jump Point, I was immediately struck by the kaleidoscope of colors that surrounded us. The walls of the ship seemed to shimmer and pulse with the energy of the wormhole, creating an otherworldly light show that was both mesmerizing and disorienting.

The feeling of being inside a Jump Point was unlike anything I had ever experienced. It was like being in the heart of a star, surrounded by some sort of pulsing energy that threatened to swallow us whole. I could feel the g-forces pushing against me as the ship hurtled through the wormhole, and I had no idea how a normal spaceship could hold up against something like this.

The feeling kept repeating again and again, through one portal after another, until we came out of the last one. The ship then flew towards our destination. We were probably half a galaxy away from Earth and I had never felt more alive.

When we finally stopped, we were met with a massive spherical structure floating in space. I asked the computer what it was telepathically and was immediately met with a hologram showing the details of this structure.

It was known as Klyn, one of the largest and more secure prisons in the Nova Empire. It had a reputation of being inescapable. Hela was reading the text from behind my shoulder and asked, "Now, what?"

I grinned at her, "Now, we plan a prison break, my dear."
