The Seventh Base

Chapter 1143: Chapter 189: Reunion

Obviously, Wulim is very apprehensive of Ares.

Skywalkers are extremely rare among the countless populations of the Universe, like stars among grains, mainly concentrated in various top-tier powers such as the Lin, Church, Republic, Mystic God Temple, etc.

These top-tier powers control at least ninety percent of the Universe’s Skywalkers, and the proportion might be even higher.

The foremost figures are concentrated in the top-tier powers, unattainable unless reaching this level. In Xu Mo’s former Star Domain, Skywalkers were virtually extinct. If he were just an ordinary person at the Mystic God Temple, it would be equally difficult to encounter Skywalkers.

But precisely because he has reached this level, there are naturally more Skywalkers around him, and the scenery he sees is different.

Wulim is the same; at his level, he is already in contact with renowned Skywalker figures in the known Universe, those legendary beings rarely active outside, with Skywalkers being the core combat power.

Among this echelon, there are some extremely dazzling figures whose fame not only exists within their own Star Domain power but even spreads to other powers.

War God Ares is one of them, a peak combatant Skywalker, the eldest son of the O’Brian Republic’s founder, with peerless prestige and numerous exceptionally glorious achievements, potentially the strongest Skywalker of the O’Brian Republic.

Although Wulim was hurt by Xu Mo earlier, he still did not believe he couldn’t defeat Xu Mo, or else he wouldn’t dare continue to show the intent to kill, wanting to execute Xu Mo here, but facing Ares, Wulim has no confidence whatsoever.

Thus, Wulim does not wish for Ares to interfere in this battle.

“News about Gaia?” Ares asked, wearing golden blazing Battle Armor, golden Energy Flames flowing over the armor, as blazing as a burning sun, piercing to the eyes.

Ares did not recognize Xu Mo and his group, as it was his first time seeing the ‘First Sequence’ Battle Armor. The six Skywalkers of Mystic God Temple were fully armed in Battle Armor, with Ares not being so familiar with Mystic God Temple’s Skywalkers; thus, he did not recognize them.

He came because he heard the commotion here, for news of Gaia.

Currently, on this land of Abyss, all external forces share the same goal: Gaia.

Therefore, the emergence of such a level of battle can only be due to Gaia’s news surfacing.

“Ares.”

At this moment, Avery walked toward Ares, his helmet falling to his neck, revealing his face.

He no longer continued to hide his identity; it was unnecessary.

The battle here has caused such commotion, the opponent’s spiritual power has also glimpsed his visage, making it impossible to hide, thus it’s unnecessary to continue hiding.

“Avery.”

Ares looked at Avery evidently recognizing him, after all, as a Skywalker on the Mystic God Ranking of Mystic God Temple, Ares is not so closed off from information.

So, this team is indeed from Mystic God Temple.

“Let’s talk after we leave here.” Avery spoke to Ares, the disturbance here is immense, attracting numerous Skywalkers, while the Church’s people want to strike a deadly blow, and the Lin are watching fiercely.

It’s some trouble if not leaving now, especially with Ares appearing, so Avery took the initiative to greet.

Although the O’Brian Republic and Mystic God Temple do not belong to the same power, they both come from the Republic, and he is also a person from O’Brian Republic, thus here, they can be seen as the same alliance.

“Alright.” Ares nodded, “Let’s go.”

Avery put his helmet back on, then signaled to Xu Mo and the others, the group immediately prepared to retreat.

“O’Brian Republic people?” Wulim stared at Ares and Avery’s figures, squinting his eyes, the Energy Storm on him still not dissipated, he said coldly, “Ares, one of your people killed one of my Church Archbishops, they should stay.”

Ares frowned, his eyes coldly scanning Wulim, said to Avery beside him, “Go.”

Avery nodded, joined Xu Mo and the others, and left together.

“Ares, this matter is grave. For the sake of the relationship between the Republic and the Church, you should consider carefully.” Wulim took a step forward, the terrifying storm rampaging, the scepter in his hand seemingly possible to wield at any moment.

“Boom…”

Ares slightly stepped forward, dazzling like a blazing sun, golden light spilling down, shining onto Wulim, making Wulim feel somewhat glaring, that radiance on his body possessing a scorching aura.

His steps came to a halt, not daring to advance further.

Ares coldly swept him a glance, his eyes filled with sharp, domineering power, his pupils seemingly ablaze with golden flames.

Seeing Wulim halt, Ares finally turned and strode away, his steps large, with the majesty still on him, surrounded by many Skywalkers, including the Lin’s Lin Ting, among others.

However, at this moment, seeing that radiant being, not a single person dared step forward to intercept.

War God Ares’s name, they had indeed heard of.

Intercepting Ares? Unless peak figures from their power personally came here, it would be possible; however, none were among their group.

Thus, all they could do was watch helplessly as Ares led his people away.

Wulim’s eyes revealed fury and humiliation. As a Church Archbishop, only a step away from the Red Robe, his status is esteemed; when had he ever suffered such a great and disgraceful shame?

First, he was wounded by a Skywalker, and then witnessed the killing of an Archbishop right before his eyes, yet he was intimidated, not daring to step forward, and could only watch the other party leave.

Now, everyone has seen it with their own eyes and reported it back to the Church. I’m afraid it’s going to be…

Thinking of this, Wulim’s face turned pale instantly. The Church values its reputation, and with such a stain, the position of Red Robe might be out of reach.

On the other side, Xu Mo and the others left the area with Ares.

At this moment, Xu Mo felt a ripple in his heart as well. When he first saw Ares, he sensed his might. He knew Ares was very strong, but he did not expect the deterrent force of this son of the Republic Leader to be so powerful.

He stood there, and not a single Skywalker dared to step forward.

“What’s the deal with Gaia’s news?” Ares asked Avery directly.

“Xu Mo, you tell it.” Avery looked towards Xu Mo.

“Xu Mo?”

Ares looked at Xu Mo, and saw Xu Mo’s helmet drop, revealing his face, which made a hint of surprise flash in Ares’s eyes.

However, it was only for a moment before he returned to normal.

“When we arrived, we encountered an ambush by the Abyss Corps. Consequently, we found the residence of a commander of the Abyss Corps and gathered some information. That commander believed that Gaia came this time to assist the Abyss Leader, aiming to unify the Universe.” Xu Mo explained, “But that was just his belief. One guess is that Gaia indeed came for the Abyss Corps, and may even be seeking cooperation with them.”

“That’s all we know for now. The commander of the Abyss Corps knew only so much. Finding Gaia will likely require contacting the highest level of the Abyss Corps.”

This information isn’t particularly critical and will spread eventually, so there’s no harm in telling the other party.

Of course, if the exact news about Gaia were obtained, it would still be necessary to distinguish between the O’Brian Republic and the Mystic God Temple. He would represent the Mystic God Temple’s stance.

After hearing this, Ares frowned. Gaia is someone the Emperor trusts greatly. People from all factions know that Gaia holds great secrets.

He is a walking treasure, and whoever gets him will have immense power.

As such, various factions have mobilized, determined to get Gaia.

If Gaia collaborates with the Abyss Corps, it will be very troublesome.

The Abyss Corps is already immensely powerful and ambitious. With Gaia’s help, it will transform once more, threatening the Universe’s order.

At this time, a group of figures rapidly approached from afar, taking just moments to arrive here.

“Big Brother.”

A figure came forward from the group, called out to Ares, it was Vera O’Brien.

With her was one of the teams from the Capital Star Ao Temple, the strongest lineup of the Capital Star Ao Temple, which had been divided into three teams, and this one happened to be nearby.

During the previous onslaught by various factions, Avery sent out a signal for reinforcements. While they could handle the Lin on their own, the situation later became difficult to control.

“Ares.” Rodrigo also greeted, he was the leader of this group, as the most direct family member and the third-ranked Skywalker on the Mystic God Ranking, he naturally knew Ares.

Ares nodded to the two and then asked, “Have you gained any valuable clues over there?”

“We just arrived and haven’t found any clues yet.” Vera replied.

“Alright.” Ares nodded and reminded Vera, “Be careful.”

“Understood.” Vera nodded.

“I’m leaving now.” Ares took his people and left the area, as Vera O’Brien represented the Mystic God Temple’s side.

After Ares and his squad left, Rodrigo looked at Avery and asked, “Avery, what happened?”

Avery repeated the events that had transpired, and Rodrigo, after listening, frowned slightly. While the clues had some value, they also aroused the hostility of the Abyss Corps and the Church.

I’m afraid there will be considerable trouble ahead.

“Dark Star is Abyss territory and they might target us, let’s act together from now on.” Vera O’Brien suggested to Xu Mo and the others.

“Alright.” Avery didn’t stand on ceremony; he had the same thought. The Mystic God Temple is a single entity, all here for the mission, and despite the risk, they have gathered valuable information this time.

If not for the Lin, they wouldn’t have been exposed.

“This might cause inconvenience to our actions.” A Skywalker from the Capital Star Ao Temple said, looking at Xu Mo and the others. Their team’s average Combat Power is very strong.

The few members from Chloe Star Ao Temple, while Avery is strong, Zero and Xu Mo are barely adequate, and the others are liabilities.

Moreover, they are compromised by the Abyss as well as the Church, bringing Xu Mo and his crew along could hinder their actions.

“Listen to Vera.” Rodrigo said, so the others didn’t say more.
