Capítulo 1226: Chapter 269: The Situation
“Mr. Adela, haven’t I made myself clear? Xu Mo possibly deceived the Mystic God Temple or conspired with the Abyss. He might know Gaia’s whereabouts, which could pose a significant threat to the future universe.”
Arthur still responded with a smile, but his laughter now carried an undertone of assertiveness.
“Whether Xu Mo deceived the Mystic God Temple is for the Temple to judge. If the Church is truly considering peace for the universe, it would be better to persuade the Kales Empire and the O’Brian Republic to cease their war. In this way, the citizens of the Kales Empire and the Republic will appreciate the Church’s benevolence,” Arad replied calmly.
“Whether there’s an issue with Xu Mo, let us investigate, and we’ll know,” Arthur said.
“Sorry, Mr. Arthur, if the Mystic God Temple said they wanted to investigate your Saint Heir and hand him over to us, would the Church agree?” Adela Palace Master replied.
Arthur laughed slightly and said, “Back in the Abyss, the Mystic God Temple’s stance was problematic. Could it be that it wasn’t just Xu Mo’s problem but the entire Temple’s? I still want to believe that the Temple has no ties to the Abyss. The unpleasant events back then were merely misunderstandings.”
Arthur only then mentioned the past events in the Abyss. A few years ago in the Abyss war, it wasn’t just unpleasant; both the Church and the Mystic God Temple killed each other’s people.
This event, how could the Church forget it, both sides remembered.
However, the friendly atmosphere just now made it seem like none of that had ever happened. If the Temple was willing to hand Xu Mo over, the Church could forget the Abyss’s unpleasantness.
But Adela’s tough stance made Arthur realize that getting the Mystic God Temple to voluntarily hand over Xu Mo was unlikely. Although he didn’t have high hopes when he came, considering Xu Mo was the ‘first sequence’ heir of the Temple, it was still worth a try.
“When did the Church become the universe’s Law Enforcers?” Asela responded coldly, “What the Mystic God Temple does doesn’t need the Church’s interference, right? Mr. Arthur, no need to impose on the Temple. Additionally, if Mr. Arthur is sincerely visiting, the Temple welcomes it, but if it’s to assert the Church’s authority, then I will have to see you out.”
“Hmph.”
At this moment, a cold snort echoed in Adela’s mind, Arthur’s voice coming through, coolly saying, “In this matter, even Osman O’Brian agreed not to interfere. You’re aware of what happened on Asgard Star. Currently, only the Church knows a few things and hasn’t announced them externally. I came to find you, but if the Mystic God Temple doesn’t know its place, once this gets out of hand, it won’t just be us coming.”
This voice was a transmitted message, not openly spoken. The Church found that this matter was connected to Xu Mo, naturally not disclosing it to other major forces in the universe.
But if the Mystic God Temple doesn’t cooperate, he can’t guarantee what might happen in the future.
Arthur also understood that on the O’Brian Republic’s territory, unless the Pope himself came, it would be unlikely to take someone from the Temple.
And the Pope wouldn’t personally come for just a possibility.
Adela’s face turned cold hearing the other’s threat, standing up to say, “Gentlemen, please.”
When Arthur saw the other give a dismissal order, his smile completely vanished, eyes narrowing with a cold glint.
He and the Church’s people stood up, coldness emanating from each, and then walked out, leaving the Mystic God Temple side.
Watching the others disappear, Adela frowned. The Church’s attitude was very firm, likely not to let it rest.
After the Church’s people left, Adela found Xu Mo and reminded him not to go out in the coming days.
Receiving the message from Adela Palace Master, Xu Mo understood that the Church indeed targeted him. It seemed they had found some clues, giving rise to suspicion against him.
However, on the Republic Capital Star, the Church dared not directly act against the Mystic God Temple, so his safety wasn’t a major problem.
Currently, the Church could mostly only suspect, and without substantial evidence, outsiders could only guess his connection with the vessel and Gaia.
Several days later, a starship discreetly arrived at the O’Brian Republic Capital Star.
Yet the starship’s arrival still immediately caught the attention of O’Brian Palace, the message reaching the highest level, arriving at O’Brian Palace.
In O’Brian Palace, Osman O’Brian received the message while sitting in his study reading a book.
A figure entered here, bowing in salute.
“How is it, confirmed?” Osman O’Brian put down the book, looking up at the newcomer to ask.
“Confirmed, it’s the Lin’s people, led by Lin Xu, who once appeared in the Abyss. Besides, there are many Lin’s Transcendents,” the person responded.
Osman O’Brian placed the book on the desk, saying, “Sit.”
The figure across then sat on the sofa, only to hear Osman O’Brian ask, “What are your thoughts on the Church and Lin’s arriving successively?”
“The Church’s mission has two purposes. First is to convene the ‘Holy Assembly’ to expand its influence and weaken the republic government’s impact; the second purpose is related to Xu Mo. Their negotiation with the Mystic God Temple directly mentioned demanding Xu Mo, wanting to investigate him.”
“As for the Lin clan, they have no contact with our republic, and their purpose for this trip should only be Xu Mo.”
“Attracting two top cosmic forces simultaneously, Xu Mo is probably not simple. His three-year stay in the Abyss might not be what we imagined, and he might even have some connection with Gaia; otherwise, these two great forces would not have come for him.”
“Xu Mo…” Osman O’Brian murmured softly, “To be designated as the ‘first sequence’ by the Mystic God Temple, and as a successor of the Mystic God Temple, he is certainly not simple. It seems there are many things we do not know. Xu Mo didn’t participate in the turmoil in Asgard, but the Church and the Lin clan have found their way here. It’s said that on Asgard Star, a descendant of the Emperor appeared, demonstrating the power of the Divine Domain, and Xu Mo’s abilities shown in his battle with Rodrigo are somewhat similar, right? According to our information on Xu Mo, he should have comprehended this power during his three years in the Abyss. Therefore, what is the connection between Xu Mo and Gaia? And with Zeus?”
“The Church and the Lin clan must have come to investigate this matter.” The figure opposite Osman O’Brian spoke.
Osman O’Brian nodded, continued reading the book, and the room fell silent again as the figure across the room tactfully left.
……
In a highly private hotel on the Capital Star, Lin Xu and others stayed here.
In the private villa, the group from the Lin clan was present, with Lin Xu as the leading figure.
Destroyer level individuals rarely appear, but this trip is of great importance, requiring a Destroyer to make the journey.
After the Lin clan became suspicious of the matters in Asgard, they considered the previous events at the Empire Trial Field. Subsequently, they conducted a detailed investigation of everything that happened there and found Xu Mo to be highly suspicious.
In the Empire Trial Field at the time, surrounded by the Stone Pillars near the Book of Enlightenment, Xu Mo was defeated by the Lin clan’s people and had his memory probed but then withdrew safely, and the Book of Enlightenment was not found among the remaining people.
The Lin clan’s Lin Jian and others did not obtain it, so they investigated other people and found Xu Mo to be the most suspicious. He displayed combat power inconsistent with his prior level upon leaving the Empire Trial Field, and many people believed that the opportunities found in the Empire Trial Field allowed him to transform and become stronger.
But looking back now, it appears that Xu Mo’s defeat and memory probing were likely intentional.
He might have obtained the Book of Enlightenment.
If Xu Mo acquired the Book of Enlightenment, it means he faced the Lin clan’s core genius, Lin Jian, and still took away a legacy treasure belonging to the Lin clan, further connecting it with the events that happened in Asgard.
Could Xu Mo be the escaped prince from back then?
If he is Xu Mo, that would explain everything that happened in the Abyss. He already had a natural rapport with Gaia and naturally sided with Gaia, remaining in the Abyss for three years to cultivate the power of the Divine Domain.
However, this creates new problems: if Xu Mo is that escaped prince, then who is Zeus? Or did the initial genetic technology create more than one prince?
Does the Emperor have two bloodline heirs?
All of this is mere speculation, and only by capturing Xu Mo can the answers be obtained.
But the current issue is that Xu Mo is in the Mystic God Temple, and getting him is not easy.
“Get in touch with the Church.” Lin Xu, sitting there, spoke. They already knew about the Church’s arrival; teaming up temporarily with the Church is a good choice to find answers.
Only by knowing the answers can the next steps be determined.
……
At the Mystic God Temple, Xu Mo also received the news that not only the Church has come for him, but now even the Lin clan has arrived.
Even though the Emperor of the Emperor Star Lin Family is no longer, the name of the Lin clan still evokes awe as they once ruled the known universe.
But now, both the Lin clan and the Church, two superpowers, have come for him.
Xu Mo felt very uneasy as the arrival of the Lin clan and the Church could trigger a chain reaction. They are the first to suspect him, but seeing their arrival, other forces will inevitably become suspicious as well.
Firstly, the O’Brian Republic would undoubtedly question this situation, and Osman O’Brian is not foolish.
The potential unfolding scenario could be very disadvantageous to him.
