Leap of Faith

[Dear Navigator, you have arrived in the new world]

[Remaining stay: 4 days]

Standing on the desolate plains stretching to the horizon, surrounded by towering mountains, there was not a single sign of life.

Alvin was completely dumbfounded.

Wait a minute, a new world?

Shouldn't this be the Marvel Universe? How did we end up in a new world? This doesn't make sense!

"Navigator, what exactly happened?"

[Dear Navigator, since you did not choose to travel to the Anchor World before the journey, according to the Navigator's default settings, the new world will be the priority destination for the journey.]

"..."

Alvin was drenched in sweat, his mind completely blank.

He spent his days hunting geese, but unexpectedly, a goose pecked his eye.

Isn't this just like an old man eating poison because he thinks he's too old to live?!

Why didn't you ask me?

Alvin was furious. This time was different from before. Not only was he unprepared, but he was also suddenly thrown into a new world when he was at his wit's end!

What if we encounter some kind of ghost or monster?

[Dear Navigator, the system has requested your feedback, but has not received a clear response.]

Oh... I misunderstood the Navigator System.

Alvin closed his eyes in agony. He was being chased by the Hell Dragon, and if he had been any slower, he would have been burned to ashes. He didn't care about anything else at the time.

Who could have predicted such a blunder?

"Wait... where does the energy for time travel come from?"

Alvin suddenly realized the most important question: in theory, traversing a new world requires energy.

But he hasn't recharged since he came back!

[Energy comes from your armored core reactor]

The case is solved... No wonder their stay was only four days!

This matter cannot be entirely blamed on the "Navigator" system. When designing this armor, he authorized the Navigator System to utilize the core reactor energy of the armor in certain emergency situations in order to prevent certain special circumstances.

But then, even worse news arrived.

"The atmosphere has a low oxygen content and contains unknown components!"

"Gravity level, preliminary assessment suggests it is similar to Earth's."

Warning! Warning!

"Core reactor power insufficient!"

Unknown ingredients?

Amidst the utterly unfamiliar data, Alvin suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, an uncontrollable shiver shooting straight to the top of his head. "Where the hell did this come from?!"

"Based on comprehensive testing results... you are in an alien environment unknown to humankind."

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, can finally rest easy.

Looking again at the towering mountains and the desolate canyons and plains, Alvin finally understood why there wasn't a single bird to be seen.

Last time it was a desolate desert.

This time they're basically throwing him out of space, aren't they?!

What kind of extreme survival?

Despite the complaints, we still have to face reality.

Alvin touched the damaged mask on his face, frowned, and suddenly thought of something, uttering a soul-searching question, "Navigator, the location you traverse is never fixed. Is it possible that you'll end up in some black hole or outer space?"

[Dear Navigator, the above situation will not occur.]

[Arrive at the location of the new world, ensuring the Navigator does not die due to such special issues.]

Alvin breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He was genuinely terrified of being thrown into a certain death environment during one of his time travels, such as a black hole.

However, at least for now, it seems that the Navigator System's travel locations will be adjusted for Navigator to avoid the aforementioned extreme situations.

No wonder he could still breathe in the alien environment.

Despite the fact that the air was filled with unknown components according to the armor's detection, the survival and adaptability of the creatures, as Underhive the Warhammer Universe, were incomparable to those of humans in the 3K era!

Compared to the radiation-filled and exhaust-filled environment of the Underhive, even an alien environment is far better.

"Now that we don't have to worry about survival, the next step... should be to explore what this place is all about."

Based on his previous experiences traveling through time, Alvin was certain of at least one thing: this place was definitely related to the "plot"!

Whether it was the New York alleyways where the Boys first traveled through time, or the Afghan desert in the Marvel Universe during the second time travel, both were within the scope of the "plot".

In other words...

This unknown planet is also related to the "plot".

"Let me think, what kind of plot takes place on an alien planet?" Alvin searched his mind for relevant information as he climbed the mountain to the highest point to observe the surroundings.

Unfortunately, there are far too many stories that happen on alien planets.

There are at least several dozen that meet the criteria. It is indeed quite difficult to identify the true nature of this "world" in such a short time without any distinguishing features.

Soon, the Mark V completely lost power.

Alvin had no choice but to take it off, reverting it to its suitcase style, and stuff it into his Personal Space.

From now on, he will have to rely on himself.

Fortunately, his body, honed from training in the Underhive, was strong enough to sustain Alvin on the long journey. After consuming a few Energy Bar to replenish his strength, he finally reached the summit.

At first glance, it was indeed a desolate alien planet.

Apart from the continuous mountain ranges and the low, thick clouds, there are almost no other features to be seen.

However, just as Alvin was feeling a bit disappointed, a strangely shaped building, clearly not naturally formed but man-made, suddenly came into his view.

That thing looked like a primitive village.

It is surrounded by a ring of rocky hills, resembling a wall built by primitive people, while the building in the middle is shaped like an inverted bowl, with an estimated height of several tens of meters.

"Hmm... this looks kind of familiar!"

Alvin squinted, trying his best to observe the strangely shaped building. A sense of familiarity arose within him, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it.

As Alvin was trying to recall where he had seen that thing before, he suddenly heard a deep engine roar coming from the clouds above!

Rumble!

The low, thick clouds suddenly surged like waves!

The wind howled, pouring down like a flood, and violent air waves surged and churned. The sound that was originally far away was approaching at an extremely fast speed, and the roar of the engine was deafening!

Alvin reacted swiftly, leaping directly under the Rock to conceal himself, and then observing the clouds.

The next moment, the enormous spaceship pierced through the clouds!

The spaceship's design was highly futuristic, with four enormous engine nozzles and a forward-extending main pilot, resembling some kind of four-legged creature.

The giant spaceship swept past the mountain peaks, its pilot completely unaware of Alvin, who was hiding beneath the Rock.

At the very moment the two intersected.

With his excellent eyesight, Alvin clearly saw that inside the main cockpit of the giant spaceship were a group of humans with distinct European facial features.

Immediately afterwards, the spaceship headed towards the ruins.

He watched as the spaceship landed not far from the ruins, creating a surging shockwave that, mixed with smoke and dust, rose into the sky.

"It really is human!"

Although it has been confirmed that the spaceship was piloted by humans, there is still too little useful information, and Alvin is still unable to make a definitive conclusion.

Aliens, humans, spaceships?

There are at least dozens of possible combinations of these three words, but to find out the truth, we need more information or more obvious features.

"Heh, if they found out there's actually a human on this planet, wouldn't they be terrified?"

Alvin thought about it with great interest.

Now that we've identified our goal, the rest of the plan becomes much simpler.

After a short rest, the excruciating brain pain had subsided considerably, and with the help of painkillers, the injury was temporarily brought under control.

But it was clear that this was not a long-term solution; he had to infiltrate the spaceship as soon as possible.

A spaceship capable of space travel should have facilities such as a medical bay, which could also recharge the "Mark V" and, ideally, allow for some repairs.

"Yes, I've rested enough."

After feeling that his Psychic Power had recovered somewhat, Alvin strode to the edge of the cliff.

Then, he slowly closed his eyes, opened his arms as if embracing the invisible air. "I'm probably the only one who can perform Leap of Faith on an alien planet, right?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Alvin leaped off the cliff!
