Galactic Array - 318

When it comes to array making, math is necessary. Every single angle and line needed to be completely calculated, from the width and density to the length.

Everything needed to fit together almost perfectly in order to get a satisfactory product. What Zhou Fan was doing was making an array.

A giant array. An array the size of a galaxy, powered by a galaxy, with the power of a galaxy, or even exceeding it if Zhou Fan did well.

Zhou Fan spent an entire year perfecting the array plan. Not only was he inventing an entirely new array, but it was also an unprecidentaly huge one.

While formations and arrays were very similar in terms of usage, the difference could be clearly seen now. Formations could not get very big. Even if Zhou Fan tried his hardest over a thousand years, he may only be able to create one the size of a house or a mansion.

An array, in comparison, could be as big as the creator's power would allow. If everything went well and Zhou Fan felt it could be bigger, he could also connect the array to other galaxies.

With the perfected array in hand, Zhou Fan began to go around the galaxy, leaving lines of Qi, among other things, in order to build the array. Planets, stars, and more planets were connected and interwoven by lines.

Everything in the galaxy had its own purpose. As Zhou Fan continued working, his mind seemed to fade and he found himself in a trance. As he set the array, it seemed as if he was dancing with the universe itself.

Every single movement was perfect, and by the time Zhou Fan noticed the passage of time, the array was finished.

'How pleasant.' Zhou Fan thought to himself as he looked below.

The entire galaxy was filled with lines, each serving their own purpose. In the center, four thick black lines seemed as if they were cut short just shy of the area where the black hole was sealed.

Although Zhou Fan didn't initially plan to incorporate the black hole, he had changed the plan in his immersed state.

Zhou Fan unsealed the black hole, freeing it from its cage. Nothing changed besides the fact that the path was open.

Zhou Fan carefully drew lines connecting the four lines to the black hole. The black hole tried to react to something touching it by bursting out with a power, but Zhou Fan released a pressure that instantly calmed it down.

Back in the lesser dao creation realm, the black holes could be seen as a threat. In the inner world realm, an exploding black hole could possibly be a threat.

In the god realm, it was not impossible to be injured by the collision of multiple black holes if they were huge.

In the true god realm, however, black holes were essentially irrelevant.

Zhou Fan drew multiple lines on the surface of the black hole, adding it to the array. Zhou Fan was wary of the cosmic dao, but not wary to the point of purposely weakening his array in fear.

Soon, the galactic array was fully completed. Its purpose was to send out a concentrated beam from the center. The power, which would be equivalent to the power of an entire galaxy and more, would be quite the thing to witness.

Zhou Fan estimated that it would reach the 1st level of the god realm. That was because it would instantly use up all of the energy in the galaxy, turning it lifeless. The only thing left would be a weak black hole floating in space.

Of course, the array itself also increased the power. 

Zhou Fan flew out of the galaxy and stood in a certain position. Once the array was activated, it would charge up for 3 seconds. Then, it would directly launch its power at Zhou Fan.

Already having the goal of being hit, Zhou Fan had put in a part of the array that would manage to condense the power from the galaxy into a human sized beam.

Zhou Fan stood in the perfect position and sent some of his Qi into the array from afar.

Looking at the galaxy, it seemed as if the light from the edges was being pulled inwards. As the light from the outer part of the galaxy reached the center in the first second, the light from the rest of the galaxy, excluding the black hole, also moved to the center in the second second.

Finally, during the third second, the black hole's power charged up. As soon as the third second passed, a beam that instantly broke through space traveled at a speed impossible for anyone in the universe besides Zhou Fan himself to comprehend.

Zhou Fan held his arms out as if he was going to give a large hug as the beam hit him. The Qi of the entire galaxy traveled through his body for an entire second before disappearing.

Zhou Fan let out a large sigh of comfort. He had never been hit with such a strong attack. It almost reached the second level of the god realm. Unfortunately, the price to pay for the attack was quite high.

The entire galaxy, excluding the black hole, turned to dust within the next 5 minutes. 

Zhou Fan was satisfied.

He considered spending time creating an array combining three galaxies, but that would take an extremely long time, and the power would not increase that much. If he was lucky, it would reach the third level of the god realm.

He would have to move multiple galaxies, which requires more than a wave of a hand for even him, and design an array based off of the one he had already created.

To him, it would feel more like work than fun at that point.

'Besides, I'm really itching to go beyond the three galaxy clusters.' Zhou Fan thought. He wanted to take his time and make the most of the exploration of the universe, but it was time to explore the next nearby region.

Zhou Fan looked outside of the silver river galaxy at his destination.
