Void Millennium: Lost World

Styx I

The bullet train underwent a mesmerizing transformation as it transitioned from its aquatic pathway to an intricate track suspended on solidified clouds. These mysterious cloudy highways soared through the lofty reaches, their trajectory straight and enigmatic. Every three kilometers, the passengers managed to experience a subtle yet exhilarating surge, powered by unusual turbines made with Dials. This infusion of momentum granted the train a breathtaking speed, though the true magnitude of this acceleration remained veiled in secrecy, shrouded by the awe-inspiring altitude that enveloped them.

Nature's beauty unfolded in a wondrous spectacle beneath the waves, where the coral reefs gracefully gave way to the embrace of a flourishing estuary, where mangroves thrived in abundance. Further on, the scene transformed into a verdant tapestry of dense jungle foliage, where one could discern the presence of countless tree-houses, each a testament to organic design similar to succulent fruits. These dwellings, nestled amidst the lush vegetation, played host to a harmonious community of anthropomorphic animals, which lives intricately intertwined with the vibrant ecosystem surrounding them.

"Minks!" Luffy's voice rang out with excitement, his laughter echoing through the air as he cradled Chopper in his arms like a pillow. His fellow crew members trailed behind; their amused gazes fixed on the lively scene outside the windows.

Terk's voice joined the chorus, his arms and legs crossed as he peered nostalgically through the window. "We've just passed my hometown," he murmured, a touch of melancholy in his words.

"In this land of beasts, this is merely the entrance of Lemuria," Terk declared, his tone tinged with interest. "There's still so much more to explore."

The atmosphere grew colder, prompting a remarkable transformation as the verdant jungle trees gave way to towering conifers that seemed to reach out and touch the river of clouds below.

Amidst the vast expanse, wide trails emerged, etched by the footsteps of giant beings who marveled at the unconventional bullet train.

"They are... They are... Giants!" Usopp exclaimed in sheer amazement, gazing upon a village of these proud beings he had long admired.

"Curiously enough, this is one of the smaller Giant kingdoms," the Doctor chimed in. "This land tends to attract retirees or newly form families. I believe their clan settled on one of the outer islands," he explained, providing some context.

The Mink's uncertainty about giants inhabiting the outside world sparked questions among some of the crew.

"Can't you venture outside?" Jinbei inquired.

"Yes, we can," the Mink replied with a hint of apprehension in their voice. "But I'm just not keen on sea travel... So, I'll rather stay here in Lemuria."

"Lemuria is the name of the kingdom?" The little reindeer asked confused.

"No, Lemuria is a continent... There are still more islands on the surface and in the sky,"

"FASCINATING," All Might couldn't contain his wonderment, each transition to a new realm unveiling diverse races he had only encountered in childhood tales.

His eyes were now witnessing the very history they had always been exposed to, but had come to understand only as myths and legends. The woman's words and investigation grew increasingly lucid.

The breathtaking diversity of colossal flora continued, each ecosystem presenting a vibrant display of colors until they entered a realm of desolation, where an arid wasteland stretched before them, filled with an air of melancholy and solitude. Towering trees had turned into petrified trunks and branches with their vitality extinguished.
