The Seventh Base

Capítulo 1211: Chapter 256: The Struggle for Xu Mo

“Buzz!”

The Gravity Hammer fell into Xu Mo’s palm, releasing a terrifying gravity wave. The knife in his hand disappeared, replaced by the Destruction Gloves on his left arm and the Gravity Hammer in his right hand.

This weapon was also forged by the Star Ring, obtained by the Duffy Family at an auction and handed over to Baru for use. However, after a battle, not only did they fail to seize Xu Mo’s Destruction Gloves, but they also lost the Gravity Hammer.

This made the members of the Duffy Family look disgraced, especially Duffy. Xu Mo’s combat power was unexpectedly strong. Baru, definitely a top-level Skywalker, using the Gravity Hammer, had reached a horrifying level of attack power that was almost impossible for Skywalkers to resist.

But in this battle, he was killed by Xu Mo.

Xu Mo’s eyes were fixed on the position where Drew was. After killing Baru, he flashed once again towards the direction where Drew was.

Drew’s expression turned grim when he saw this scene. His body shot skyward, rushing into the air, not daring to face Xu Mo head-on.

At the same time, in the sky, firepower once again unleashed. Beams of lasers and energy light columns covered a vast area, as if intent on burying and destroying the entire region.

Brilliant beams fell around Xu Mo’s body but did not hit him. With incredible movement technique, he precisely dodged the laser beam’s attacks. Those beams passed through space and landed on the ground, penetrating it directly. The Light of Destruction dug deep into the earth, creating one hole after another.

At this rate, the area would soon be completely leveled, and a massive underground abyss might even appear.

At this moment, a blinding beam of light fell, directly shining on Xu Mo.

In an instant, Xu Mo furrowed his brows, feeling his eyes hard to open, and even his perception was affected.

He felt strong light enveloping boundless space, shining and eroding everything.

Not only Xu Mo, but the surrounding people also felt the dazzling light, and many Skywalkers closed their eyes.

Above in the sky, an incredibly magnificent figure appeared, as if bathed in divine light, descending like a Heavenly God. Centered around his body, countless Holy Lights descended, transforming into sharp swords, straight at Xu Mo, who was charging forward.

Many beams of Holy Light converged into a single beam, transforming into a supremely sacred Holy Sword, piercing through the heavens and the earth, slashing down in an instant.

At this moment, Xu Mo felt that even his Divine Domain had difficulty suppressing the opponent’s Domain Power. His right arm suddenly swung forward, and the Gravity Hammer immediately crashed forward, emitting a muffled sound in the air. Terrifying gravity waves swept out, colliding with the Holy Light, and a storm of destruction engulfed the surrounding heaven and earth.

This storm of destruction seemed to take a long time to disperse. At the center of the terrifying energy storm, Xu Mo’s body stopped, and he looked up at the figure appearing in the sky.

It was a young-looking face, chiseled as if carved by a knife, with sharp features. He had a sharp expression, long hair dancing in the wind, and wore church attire, though it was golden, glowing brilliantly under the Holy Light, like an Angel.

This person seemed to emanate light.

“Naga.”

In the distance, many people felt a ripple in their hearts at the sight of this figure.

Naga, the Church Saint Heir.

The Church, revered the Pope as the highest, with four elders assisting the Pope, followed by seven Red-clothed Archbishops.

These twelve people essentially represent the Church’s highest authority, overseeing all church affairs.

And the Saint Heir holds a special position within the Church. He is the divinely chosen person by the Church, representing its image, and is also regarded as the successor to the Pope. He does not manage the Church’s specific affairs but holds an extraordinary status within it.

Even Red-clothed Archbishops must be very courteous in his presence, as he might be the future Pope.

Naga is the Church’s Saint Heir, acclaimed as one of the strongest Skywalkers in the Church, and even within the known Universe, below the Destroyers, he holds a place among the most top-tier Skywalker figures.

He is a figure on par with Lin Langya of the Lin Family. In the Church, his status is equivalent to Ares O’Brian of the O’Brian Republic.

Many people naturally know someone like Naga, and his appearance caused a very strong shock.

The successor of the Pope, a person of such identity generally does not reveal themselves unless it’s for something of great importance.

Now his presence here for Xu Mo signifies that Xu Mo is highly important to the Church.

“Greetings, Saint Heir.” Drew slightly bowed to Naga in salute. The Duffy Family works behind the scenes with the Church. Even though he cursed the Church inwardly, Drew dared not openly oppose it.

He was very aware of the Church’s power. As one of the top-tier forces in the Universe, the Church’s influence is no weaker than any other force.

Even if Duffy appeared here, facing someone like Naga, he would have to be equally polite.

Naga walked forward barefoot, representing purity. As he took each step, light seemed to emanate from him, bathing in holy radiance, like an Angel.

With each step he took, Holy Light descended in the direction of Xu Mo.

With Gaia’s emergence, and the Star Ring’s founder possibly being an Empire person, he had no choice but to make this trip himself.

Xu Mo is powerful, his current identity unknown, but until Gaia is found, he is extremely important and must be captured.

The Duffy Family proved untrustworthy, so he had to take action personally.

“Come with me, I won’t kill you.”

As Naga walked toward Xu Mo, he spoke, his voice penetrating into Xu Mo’s eardrums.

Xu Mo didn’t recognize who the other party was nor understand him, but seeing Drew bow to him and address him as the Saint Heir, Xu Mo could already guess a bit.

Drew’s respect likely stems from facing someone from the Church.

This person should be from the Church.

Church, Saint Heir?

What position is this?

He had previously encountered Archbishops and Red-clothed Archbishops and knew the Church was led by the so-called Pope, but this title Saint Heir is new to him.

Is he the successor of the Pope?

He thought the successor to the Pope would be chosen from among the Red-clothed Archbishops.

Of course, the Pope is probably one of the strongest individuals known in the Universe, likely at the Destroyer Level, with a long lifespan, capable of living for thousands of years. Hoping to outlive the Pope to inherit the position is a slow waiting game.

The tone of this Saint Heir is indeed arrogant.

Follow him, and don’t get killed?

Xu Mo knows what kind of power the Church holds. If he goes with them, will he still survive?

Once his memories are searched, it seems there will be no way out but death.

“Well, that depends on whether you can kill me.” Xu Mo looked up at the approaching Saint Heir, Naga, and said. This Saint Heir provides him with a strong sense of threat, similar to Ares O’Brian back then, should be at the peak level of a Skywalker.

Naga’s steps slightly halted, Holy Light descended, and those lights seemed to contain lethal force, giving Xu Mo significant pressure, even penetrating the Divine Domain to shine upon his body.

“Isn’t the Church Saint Heir from Asgard Star?”

A voice sounded as figures approached from afar; they were people from Shenluo Group. They had actually been present for a long time but hadn’t intervened.

Until Naga appeared, they realized Xu Mo likely wouldn’t be able to withstand him, so they decided not to sit back and reap benefits, but to come forward.

Xu Mo is very important and must be prevented from falling into the hands of the Church.

“Shenluo?”

Naga looked up at the figures opposite and spoke with a hint of disdain.

How could someone from Shenluo dare to be so impudent in front of him? Naturally, they have backing.

In Asgard, many top forces have backgrounds; all major powers have been deployed in Asgard for years.

Duffy was supported by their Church.

Whereas Shenluo was initially established by heroic figures from Asgard’s local forces but has long been corrupted over time.

Today’s Shenluo is no longer composed of the first generation of Shenluo people.

Now behind Shenluo lies Saint Tiya Star.

“All along, it has been our Shenluo Group maintaining Asgard’s order.” The leader said, not retreating even facing the Church’s Saint Heir.

They had received information that Xu Mo was very important and must be acquired, as he might be linked to great secrets.

“Maintaining order is not just for your Shenluo. Our Hakenan Family has contributed a lot too.” Another person approached; it was a Transcendent from the Hakenan Family.

Behind the Hakenan Family stands the ancient family power of Odyssey Star Domain.

Nowadays, the pure Asgard forces not controlled at the top might only be the Odin Family.

The Odin Family is Asgard’s oldest family, existing for countless years, and the current patriarch, Odin, is an extremely fearsome character. Legend has it he might already be at the Destroyer Level.

This is how they remain uncorrupted.

Apart from the Odin Family, even behind Thunder God Technology, there are actually forces from the Coriade Star Domain.

Xu Mo watched everything unfolding before his eyes. Is this the beginning of the struggle for him?

This made him feel somewhat strange, as if at this moment he had become an ‘item’ desired by all major forces.

At this moment, in the high sky, a particularly dazzling Starship appeared.

Upon seeing the emblem on the Starship, many forces showed varied expressions and looked towards it.

Has the main party arrived?

What stance will Star Ring take?
