The Seventh Base

Capítulo 1212: Chapter 257: Star Ring Evacuation

The hatch of the Starship from the Star Ring opened, and several figures stepped down, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.

Leading them was the Singularity of the Star Ring, whom Xu Mo had met before. He floated forward, followed by two others, heading together in Xu Mo’s direction.

When Singularity reached Xu Mo, he addressed the crowd, saying, “Apologies, everyone. Mr. Zeus is a guest of the Star Ring. I must take him back to the Star Ring.”

Most of the people present did not recognize or had never seen Singularity.

The Star Ring had always been very mysterious. The founding team mostly remained behind the scenes, often working in underground core laboratories, and rarely made public appearances. External affairs of the Star Ring were mainly handled by Schlei and Bern.

As a result, people from various major forces in Asgard were generally familiar only with Schlei and Bern and were not acquainted with other members. Thus, when Singularity appeared, they were unaware of his position in the Star Ring.

However, being able to appear at this moment implied that he held a significant status within the Star Ring, possibly a core member.

“Who are you? Can you represent the Star Ring?” Drew asked.

“Singularity, I can represent the Star Ring,” Singularity nodded and replied.

“Mr. Singularity, Zeus has killed many members of my Duffy Family. He can’t just leave like that,” Drew said coldly. Everyone’s eyes were fixed on this scene, clearly not intending to let Xu Mo leave easily.

However, it was unexpected that the Star Ring had sent someone to fetch Xu Mo.

Could it be that Gaia had already reached some agreement with the Star Ring?

Their suspicions were correct. The founding team of the Star Ring were former members of the Empire, and Gaia had come to find them.

And who exactly was this Zeus? Gaia’s disciple?

Gaia had remained elusive in the shadows, and they had only found Xu Mo. At this juncture, how could they let Xu Mo go so easily?

“As far as I know, it was the people of the Duffy Family who first surrounded Mr. Zeus,” Singularity said. “It was merely because Mr. Zeus had acquired a Star Ring product at an auction, and the Duffy Family sought to kill him. This indeed puts the Star Ring in a difficult position. Are the products of the Star Ring only for the Duffy Family alone?”

“Mr. Singularity, it’s no longer just about a product,” Drew replied coldly.

At this moment, more people arrived in the air, but everyone’s attention remained on Xu Mo and Singularity.

On the arriving Starship, Thor stepped out. He was already aware of what had transpired. Seeing the people of the Star Ring defending Xu Mo, new thoughts formed in his mind.

It seemed Xu Mo had succeeded; he must have met the founders of the Star Ring and established a connection. Now, the Star Ring was defending Xu Mo.

Thor could also see that the situation might be more complicated than he initially thought; Xu Mo had previously hinted as much.

“Your Duffy Family simply can’t handle defeat,” Thor interjected. “Those Destruction Gauntlets were purchased by us, the Odin Family, on behalf of Zeus. If you wish to take them, you’ll need to get past us first.”

“Thor, the Destruction Gauntlets should be returned to you,” Xu Mo said, walking toward Thor. Conveniently, he had acquired the Gravitational Hammer, and it was clear he had no intention of returning it to the Duffy Family.

“Aren’t you going to continue using them?” Thor asked Xu Mo.

“No need, I have something else,” Xu Mo replied, removing the Destruction Gauntlets and handing them to Thor, who accepted them without a word.

“Now, it’s a matter for the Church.”

A voice echoed from above as Church Saint Naga spoke, bathed in a dazzling Holy Light, like Holy Swords falling downward. The light shone upon Xu Mo and Thor, giving off an extremely sharp impression.

Thor looked up at Naga, sensing the oppressive power.

Although he never liked the Church, the Church’s immense power was undeniable. This Saint was the Pope’s successor, reputed as one of the Universe’s strongest Skywalkers, standing at the pinnacle of this realm, beyond comparison.

Unexpectedly, Xu Mo had attracted such a high-level figure, which confirmed the family’s speculation that Xu Mo’s identity was not what he previously thought as an illegitimate child of the Star Ring’s founder.

His mention of ‘old acquaintance’ held another meaning.

Empire’s Old Acquaintance!

Xu Mo hadn’t lied to him; he indeed was an old acquaintance, though it seemed Thor had misunderstood Xu Mo’s meaning.

But was his mentor not supposed to be a woman?

Is it Gaia?

“How has he offended the Church?” Singularity asked, looking up at Church Saint Naga.

“What is his relationship with the Star Ring?” Naga replied, countering Singularity’s question with another.

“No comment,” Singularity responded, then turned to Xu Mo and said, “Come to the Star Ring with me.”

“Okay,” Xu Mo nodded.

Singularity and his group led Xu Mo toward the Starship.

“Bang.”

Immediately, many figures stepped forward. How could they let Xu Mo leave so easily? After all, their original target was the Star Ring, which had now come forward, making things more straightforward.

The Church Saint Naga’s body erupted in an incredibly brilliant Holy Light, blinding to the eyes. The Holy Light Domain covered the infinite space, transforming the area into a world of light, threatening to blind everyone. Many people closed their eyes immediately.

Yet, this was the power of the Domain. Even with closed eyes, they could still see the omnipresent Holy Light.
