Primordial Expanse: I have the Strongest Talent! - Chapter 334

Chapter 334: The edge
“Which island is this friend of yours on?”

Alex continued his questions, practically demanding more information out of the siren.

But by this point, the siren was used to it.

She just pointed in a direction behind Alex, and spoke.

“In that direction. But I don’t know how far, I’ve never visited.”

Alex was a little confused for a moment.

‘Never visited, how do you never visit-‘

But mid thought he realised that she probably communicated long distance through telepathy or something like that.

Alex slowly withdrew his sword from the siren’s chest, to her relief.

He felt some aches and bruises across his body, thanks to the fight the two of them had just had, but it was already healing.

His Phoenix Flames really did work wonders.

“You’re lucky. You get to live another day.”

He spoke to the siren one last time, before he started walking away, heading in the direction the siren had pointed out where the floating island her friend lived on was.

It was only after he widened the distance between himself and the siren so much that neither of them could sense each other, that he picked up the pace and began running as fast and hard as he could in a straight line to his destination.

Alex ran with relentless determination, his feet pounding against the ground as he sprinted across the vast expanse of the floating island.

The landscape blurred past him, a mix of dense forests, rolling hills and open plains all filtering past his eyes, but he made no note of them.

His mind was focused solely on reaching the edge of the island, where the siren had pointed him towards.

The aches and bruises from his earlier fight had already fully healed.

Hours turned into an entire day, with 24 hours passing since he had started running, and still, the edge of the island remained out of sight.

Keeping in mind that Alex was running at his full B tier strength capacity, so this island alone was well over thousands of kilometres long at least!…

It was way larger than he anticipated — an endless stretch of land that seemed to go on forever.

The endless pursuit of the edge but still being out of reach only fuelled his frustration, but he pushed on, not going to give up.

As the sun began to dip below the horizon for the second time, Alex finally noticed a change in the terrain further ahead.

The ground sloped downward, and the trees began to thin out, revealing a distant line where the land seemed to drop off completely.

‘Nearly there!’

With a renewed burst of energy, he accelerated even faster, his heart pounding not just from the constant exertion over the last day, but from the anticipation of finally coming closer to his goal of finding Mira.

Two more hours passed before he reached the edge.

When he finally did, Alex skidded to a halt, his breath heavy but controlled.

He stood at the precipice of the floating island, gazing out into the vast open sky before him.

The wind whipped around him, carrying with it a sense of isolation that was unlike anything he had ever felt before.

He realised that this was probably what the flat earthers of the old used to think the earth looked like.

A completely flat stretch of land and seas for thousands of kilometres, until suddenly reaching an edge.

But what truly caught his attention was the sight of another island — floating in the distance, far beyond what he had expected.

It was massive, just like the one he stood on, but it was separated by a seemingly impossible distance to cover.

Tens of thousands of kilometres, if not more.

The sheer scale of it left him stunned.

“Are you kidding me…?”

Alex muttered under his breath, his frustration bubbling to the surface.

He had spent over a whole day running, only to find that his destination was seemingly impossible to reach.

He glanced downward, hoping to find some alternative route, but what he saw only added to his dismay.

The ground beneath him dropped into nothingness, with the surface of the Primordial expanse thousands of kilometres below.

The sheer height made him dizzy for a moment, and he quickly pulled back from the edge, cursing under his breath.

“How the fuck am I supposed to get down from here, let alone make my way up to that island?”

He grumbled, running a hand through his hair in frustration.

The siren had mentioned her friend lived on that distant island, but now it made sense why she never visited in person.

The distance was simply too vast, even for someone who had some ability to fly like her.

Alex sat down on the edge, trying to gather his thoughts.

He had come this far, but now he was faced with an entirely new problem.

He needed to figure a way out to cross the gap, but nothing came to mind.

Even with all his abilities, he couldn’t simply fly across tens of thousands of kilometres.

The idea of using his Phoenix Flames as propulsion crossed his mind, but he quickly ruled that out.

That method of propulsion only worked for him out in the depths of space where there was zero gravity.

It would be too weak to work in an environment where there was gravity, probably only able to slow his descent a tiny bit.

But from a height of thousands of kilometres, he would still probably build enough momentum to turn him into a bloody mist when he hit the ground.

“Great… just great.”

He muttered, leaning back and staring up at the sky.

The sun had fully set by now, and the deep black night was lit up by the stars.

‘Does space even exist in this dimension? Are those stars just an illusion or is there actually more to explore out there?’

Some miscellaneous thoughts crossed his mind as he tried to come up with any idea on what to do, as he currently felt like he was at the biggest roadblock he had ever encountered.

‘Wait…’
