Chapter 705: Entering The Thunder
Law looked like a fat kid in a candy store.
His eyes were wide and his questions never stopped. I had moved Law into the main navigation room where I and three more puppets were handling the ship.
I wouldn't say or mention from which I got the design of the navigation room since it's pretty much copyright property, but all I can say is, that I strongly disagree with their member's dress code. Wearing blue red and yellow is pretty jarring to the eyes.
Still, I sat on the main chair overseeing the entire room. Law was looking around at every lever and button, trying to figure out what each of them did.
Question after Question he asked, and I replied to each and every one of his questions. Because I need this guy's 'Luck' I can't simply ignore him for now.

"What does this do?!" he asked as he pointed at the big button that says don't press.
"Do you want to try and press it?" I asked.
"For some reason, even while it says don't press, the big red button is drawing me in… I can't resist it," he said.
I smiled as I said, "Then take a seat and you try pressing it," I asked.
On the control deck in front of me, I pulled a small lever that propped a seat to emerge right behind Law. He sat down and slammed the bottom of his fist into the button.
Instantly, the ship's full thrust function activated. Enabling all motors and thrusters to operate at full capacity.
The ship which was standing still broke the sound barrier in less than the time it took for one's eyes to blink.
Law's entire body was slammed back against the chair behind him as his eyes widened in shock from the surprise and adrenalin rush.
The ship which was the slowest of the group of cultivators was accelerating at such an absurd rate that we already reached and went past the last cultivator and kept going.
Dust and smoke blew up from behind us as we weaved through the terrain at maximum speed.
"This…" Law shouted "IS SO COOL!"
I grinned as I heard the statement and replied, "It is indeed cool. But you haven't seen everything yet," I smiled at him.
I then pressed another lever and a small holographic image of the terrain ahead of us appeared in front of Law. The button he pressed turned upside down revealing a new instrument for Law. A yoke appeared right in front of him, with two red buttons on each end.
Then the entire seat with the yoke dropped down. From underneath the Ship, a spherical booth appeared that Law was seated inside, and to his right and left two smaller sized railguns propped up.
"Whoaaaa!" Law shouted as he was able to see the scenery from underneath the moving ship flashing by.
"The Yoke in your hands allows you to move the railguns. The middle switch changes the fire type from charged to burst. And the buttons are the trigger to shoot the projectiles. There is a small pillar of stone in front of us, try shooting it," I said.
Law fiddled with the yoke a bit and immediately understood how it moves and pivots. The entire Yoke can not only move the guns but can also change the booth's direction. Allowing Law to shoot anything that he could see with his eyes. Even if it was behind us as he can simply rotate the booth and the weapons will rotate with him.
Law aimed the yoke gently and pressed both the fire buttons.
The charge and release were almost instant. Although these aren't the main railguns for the ship, these guys are pretty destructive as well.
The entire pillar of rock burst apart in dust and fragmented stone particles leaving Law mouth agape at the sight.
I could hear Law shouting in excitement at how cool this was and I couldn't agree more.
It did take me a pretty long time to come up with that booth system and I needed someone to try it. I guess he is the lucky one to get to use it first.
We passed by several other cultivators, of which one of them tried to intercept us.
From up ahead, he stood in the path of the Ship with his palm pointing forward.
"Leave that flying treasure here and scram!" the man shouted.
"Should I shoot him?" Law asked.
"No need," I replied as I kept heading forward.
"I SAID LEAVE IT AND SCRAM LEST YOU WANT TO HAVE NO CORPSE FOR A FUNERAL!"
But his words met deaf ears as I continued moving forward.
"You leave me no choice!" he said as he pulled a word and was about to strike down. But sadly for him, he didn't fully math out the speed at which we were coming at.
Not a second later the ship had already smashed right into him and continued moving.
I "Ugh, it's like a giant bug splattering on the windshield."
Which was something I expected to happen sooner or later.
Though the man wasn't dead, he seemed to have had the wind forced out of him as he was unable to even utter a word.
I pressed another button which simply pulled a windshield swiper and pushed the man to the side away from the main crystal window.
He was pushed aside and was flown like a rag in the wind while we continued moving forward.
"Brother Shen! The thunder domain is up ahead!"
"I can see that," I replied.
"Well, I don't know if you know this, but we're inside a massive tin can, with all due respect to the effort you put into this. We'll get fried the moment we step inside the Thunder Domain!" he shouted.
"I already took that into account, as a matter of fact," I smiled, "That's the very reason why I'm here with the ship," I said as I pulled another lever on the board.
On top of the ship, Several Rods emerged out. And the moment we went past the mountain range surrounding the Thunder Domain.
Lightning bolts the size of a tree's trunk went down toward the ship.
