Ah, fair. Guess we'll have to wait then.

Ah right, the place in the NT12 Prologue where they resided after the Hidden World's destruction could be considered a void

Yeah, pretty much.

That place was the Hidden Phase tho, both are described as a complete darkness and etc, there aren't two nonexistent places in the setting as far as we are told, there is only the Hidden Phase, as for Aleister destroying it:
Aleister "destroyed" their safe territory which would be the idea that the Hidden Phase is inaccessible to the outside world, rather than destroying the Hidden Phase itself, if it had indeed been destroyed the MGs would have been sent into the real world and destroyed it as soon as they stepped in, the last part of the quote also talks in a "will happen from now on" stance rather than a "The MGs are inside the world, we are doomed".
Anyway, I think this should be added as a possibly at most given how the MGs themselves describe their ability to find each other destiny rather than some kind of infinite speed search:
She makes direct reference to the infinite distance when saying they don't really choose when to find each other and have to leave it to destiny.
Also, idk why y'all were discussing if it was a void or not given it's clearly stated as a non-existent place, the word "void" not being used really doesn't mean anything.

Seems pretty simple, I agree.

No one addressed my post so far.
Again, the idea of it being infinite speed is cool but the verse doesn't go fully into that direction.

I'm not sure it being up to destiny really changes anything tbh. The very fact that infinite distances exist within that space and the fact that they have to traverse them to get anywhere is what should grant them an infinite speed rating, by this sites own standards. I do agree with you that they (or the author) might not consider this a speed feat, but the scenario itself along with all of the descriptions do perfectly place them at infinite speed as far as this site's indexing goes.

The problem is that if it's up to destiny then the mechanics behind it aren't as simple as moving an infinite distance, if a similar/higher force than the MGs themselves (destiny) is at play why would this force require them to physically move an infinite distance?
Put another way, if they had infinite speed then they wouldn't rely on destiny, after adding destiny as a factor we can't properly say what exactly happens to have them find each other given it's basically fate hax (although a natural one) controlling things to happen.

Yes, that's why I suggested a possibly rating.
Given there's not much info on the subject, both interpretations are valid IMO, so we just give a low end with subrel speed and the high end of possibly infinite speed.

I honestly don't see the problem with the whole relying on destiny thing, as the way I see it, that just has more to do with the sheer vastness of the space and their uncertainty about each other's exact locations. But yeah, I guess I'm fine with a possibly rating, primarily due to a lack of sufficient supporting feats for infinite speed more than anything else.
