The Seventh Base

Ye Qingdie gave Xu Mo a glance, wondering if he had actually guessed what was on her mind?

In recent years, the Blue Star Energy Technology Group had developed rapidly, and she indeed wondered whether the group had the strength to challenge a planet. Moreover, she was eagerly anticipating this day, when she hoped Xu Mo could stand in a higher position, no longer constrained by anyone or any force.

People like King Richard put a lot of pressure on Xu Mo.

Although Ye Qingdie was older than Xu Mo and had met him when he was just under sixteen, she had come to admire Xu Mo along their journey together. The love of a woman for a man often contains elements of admiration.

"If an interstellar war breaks out, will they give us enough time to develop?" Ye Qingdie expressed her worry. According to Xu Mo's words, Byron Star still had a long way to go, and even moving at full speed, it would take time.

"So, we must find a way to overtake the competition on the bend," Xu Mo said softly.

As they were talking, on the screen, the fleet had already arrived above the city of Byron Star, directly above the capital.

The screen switched views, revealing Hades's face.

"Warning, the fleet needs to stop advancing; you have reached the warning line." A voice broadcast a warning, prohibiting Hades's fleet from moving forward.

Hades, expressionless, looked straight ahead and said, "I was invited to lead the Mandala Star Fleet on a long journey here. Before entering the planet, we were already locked onto by Lucas Star's defense system. After entering, we've been under constant lock-on. Our fleet has no objections. As our host Lucas Star, what are you so nervous about?"

As he spoke, the fleet continued to descend, ignoring the warning and steadily approaching the city.

This was Lucas Star, and from this perspective, Hades's Mandala Fleet did seem to be in a weaker position, but they dared to come directly, so what did Lucas Star have to fear?

Perhaps, it was because of the awe from centuries past.

"This Prince of Mandala Star is much more impressive than Prince Charles," Ye Qingdie commented.

"Prince Hades of Mandala Star has likely experienced interstellar war. Charlie was brought up on Lucas Star, and probably hasn't even been off the planet. Plus, he has been raised as a successor, likely pampered – the environment is different," Xu Mo explained.

"The city is in sight," Ye Qingdie said, looking at the screen as the fleet appeared above the capital, now visible from the ground.

Lucas Star's fleet and numerous anti-air weapons were aimed at the incoming Mandala fleet, their path heading directly for the Royal Castle.

A voice from outside the castle announced, "The Mandala fleet is heading this way; everyone may put on their equipment."

Outside, there was a commotion. The Mandala fleet was coming this way?

If Mandala Star attacked, wouldn't they be attempting to capture everything in one fell swoop?

Just then, fleets appeared overhead, protecting the region and deploying an extremely strong defense system.

In the surrounding area, countless people looked up at the mighty fleet, their hearts stirring with intense emotions.

Finally, they saw Hades's silver-white battleship appear high in the sky, hovering above their heads.

"They're here!"

They saw a beam of bright light fall, the main ship's hatch opened, revealing a beam of light connecting from the sky to the ground. Then, within that light beam, a line of figures appeared, slowly descending.

Leading them was none other than Prince Hades, and beside him stood a middle-aged man in a silver robe, Hades's teacher Aragon.

"Hades is the Prince of Mandala Star, as well as the heir," Nan Xiangmu said from below, indicating there was no need for such a grand display. Since the heir of Mandala Star had personally come, it was naturally not to start a war.

As the other had said, upon arriving at the Lucas Star Capital, it was the other party who was in a weaker position.

But judging by the situation, Lucas Star seemed more like the weaker party, their level of nervousness far exceeding that of the visitors.

Hades and Aragon floated up to hover above the castle, and notably, neither Hades nor Aragon wore any equipment, nor did they use any Mechanical Bodies to levitate.

This meant that everyone in this group had a Source Power Level of S or above, including Hades.

Reaching an S Grade in Source Power Level allowed one to levitate with powerful energy.

All the individuals in this group were capable of doing just that.

Some media frenziedly captured the moment, as today's gathering could hold historical significance, and was very likely the beginning of a war.

Hades and his companions stopped, their gazes sweeping over the crowd below. Today seemed to be an important day.

"Are the representatives of the Star System Alliance all here?" Hades's gaze looked down from above and he asked, "What about the members of the Lucas Star Royal Family?"

Outside, people's gaze involuntarily fell on Prince Charles. King Richard had not yet arrived and, as his heir, Prince Charles naturally represented the Lucas Star Royal Family.

Charles took a few steps forward, with members of the Royal Knights guarding by his side, all of their eyes fixed on Hades.

"I am a member of the Lucas Star Royal Family, Charles," Charles spoke up, "What does the Mandala Star wish to discuss on this visit?"

Hades glanced at Charles, his eyes showing no ripples, and calmly said, "Can you represent the Star System Alliance?"

Naturally, Charles could not represent the Star System Alliance. He fell silent and saw Hades shift his gaze away, ignoring his presence.

"Hades, as an envoy to Lucas Star, should you not come down to talk?" Charles continued to speak after being ignored by Hades.

Up in the air, Hades's gaze returned to Charles, his pupil flashing sharply for a moment, black hair dancing with the wind.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, Hades's body moved at a remarkably fast speed towards the space below, heading straight for Charles.

Charles's complexion changed slightly when he saw Hades swooping down. He took a few steps back, while the Royal Knight members by his side stepped forward. They only saw Hades descend like lightning, releasing a powerful aura.

A violent Energy Storm swept through, and the members of the Royal Knights unleashed their own powerful Energy Auras to resist, while their Long Spears thrust forward, aiming straight ahead.

"Boom!" There was a tremendous noise as Hades landed. The Royal Knights' Long Spears were thrust forward but were blocked when they reached Hades. A frightening storm erupted around him, roaring forward.

Prince Charles only felt the violent energy sweeping over him, striking his body and causing him to slide backward. He was stopped by someone, a Royal Knight named Sterling, whose Source Power Level had broken through to S.

Prince Charles's face instantly became extremely awkward. Looking up at Hades, he could only see the other man standing quietly there, black hair fluttering, his gaze seemingly carrying a hint of scorn.

Those around also felt the strong Source Power Storm, and they frowned. Hades was quite domineering.

Aragon had appeared behind Hades at some point, standing not far away, silent and unnoticed.

Hades took a step forward, and bang.... The members of the Royal Knights were repelled by the violent Energy Storm. Behind them, Sterling's body lit up with an incredibly brilliant golden glow, the gold Source Power in his body roaring loudly, as he donned Golden Armor and moved forward, his Golden Spear piercing the air authoritatively.

After breaking through to the S Grade of Source Power Level, Sterling's Combat Power had undergone a transformation, and he was positioned by Prince Charles's side to become his personal guard.

At this moment, since Prince Charles had been insulted, it was natural for him to take action.

"Boom..." The violent Golden Spear thrust out with terrifying momentum, but in the next moment, Sterling felt his Golden Spear halted, his golden eyes fixed on what was in front of him. He saw the Golden Spear in Hades's palm, the terrifying Energy Light continued forward, but Hades, wearing no equipment, had Energy Light flowing around his body as if he was wearing a layer of Source Power Armor.

Black eyes looking forward, Hades's body appeared to be completely motionless.
