The Seventh Base - Chapter 1274 33: Return to Asgard

Asgard, the capital star of the Asa Star Domain, has been extremely lively recently, with starships arriving daily at Asgard.

Especially in the central area of Asgard, large starships frequently land.

It is said that the entire cosmic forces are converging here, as Asgard is about to hold a cosmic conference.

Nowadays, the media is reporting extensively on this, and even ordinary citizens are aware of these events and often discuss them.

In the eyes of the Asgard citizens, powers like the Odin Family are already at the peak of the pyramid, but now, even more powerful forces than the Odin Family are arriving one after another.

The Hakenan Family, Shenluo Group, Duffy Family, Thunder God Technology—these top-tier forces are rumored to have connections as agents of those cosmic superpowers.

Currently, those superpowers are arriving successively.

There are many rumors that significant changes will occur in the universe, and people can only pray that large-scale warfare doesn’t break out in Asgard.

Regarding the changes in the universe, there is a saying: it all originated from an event that occurred years ago on Asgard Star.

Once, a Transcendent named Zeus came to Asgard and took away the Star Ring, which led to a great war on Asgard back then.

Since then, the universe has been unsettled.

Some Asgardians even believe that Asgard has influenced the development of the universe. Of course, in some sense, this claim might not be entirely unreasonable, as there is at least some basis for it.

At the Odyssey Star Domain Empire First Bank Headquarters, Victoria was busy with her affairs.

After the turmoil back then, she understood what kind of prominent figure Mr. Zeus was. Their initial encounter was purely coincidental and a stroke of luck for her because this chance encounter drastically changed her fate’s trajectory.

During these short years, she was promoted consecutively and is now part of the leadership at the Asgard Empire First Bank’s main branch.

Of course, this wasn’t due to her exceptional capabilities, but because someone was looking out for her.

Young Master Thor of the Odin Family and his fiancée, Miss Scarlett of Thunder God Technology.

Although they hadn’t met often after Xu Mo’s departure, Thor and Scarlett still looked after her. For someone at the pinnacle like them, even a little care could mean a change of fate for Victoria.

Due to the shift in her life path, Victoria’s financial situation has improved significantly, allowing her to use Genetic Evolution Items. As a result, although she’s matured slightly, she still maintains youthful skin and appearance, attracting many suitors.

However, Victoria never considered romance, seemingly devoid of such thoughts.

Thinking of love, Victoria occasionally reminisces about a certain face, even knowing it’s an unrealistic fantasy. But some emotions are so wondrous, a shadow of someone in the heart leads to comparisons with anyone encountered, making even the most exceptional people seem ordinary, including the notable figures she once admired. She still greets them with courtesy, minus the past feeling.

Well… she knows she’s still a ‘small person,’ merely supported by others.

“I heard someone from above has arrived?” A voice came from beside her.

“I heard it too; they’re from the Odyssey Star Domain Empire First Bank Headquarters, or even behind the Imperial First Bank itself.”

“They seem to be here for the cosmic conference, and who knows what the future holds. The changes in recent years have been vast.”

“As long as it doesn’t affect Asgard, it’s fine. However, the HQ arriving with a young member of a super family is a rare opportunity.”

“Don’t dream of it; such things are only for fantasy,” someone remarked, as the universe’s hierarchical barrier is indestructible. Without a matching status, even with outstanding beauty, at most, one could only be favored for a time.

Of course, even such a scenario could change one’s fate.

“However, our beautiful Miss Victoria might have a chance,” someone glanced at Victoria.

“I am aware of my own standing.” Victoria smiled as she spoke, then left the area. She knew the remark wasn’t a compliment but carried a mocking tone. Due to her rapid rise, many had gossiped behind her back, which she had heard.

Nonetheless, she surprisingly didn’t mind. They weren’t wrong—she did rely on men, but Mr. Zeus… he simply wasn’t interested in her.

At that moment, Victoria’s communicator vibrated, and she was surprised to see who was reaching out to her.

“Miss Scarlett, you’re looking for me.” Victoria’s voice was gentle. Although Scarlett had helped her, she understood they were not on the same level. Even though they had each other’s contact, they rarely communicated.

“Miss Victoria, it’s been a while. How have you been lately?” Scarlett smiled warmly.

“Very well.” Victoria nodded, “Thanks to your and Mr. Thor’s care, my work has been very smooth.”

“Do you have time to go out for a drink?” Scarlett invited her, surprising Victoria even more. Yet, she agreed.

After agreeing, Victoria took leave and headed out.

At the upper levels of Asgard Tower, in the familiar restaurant.

Victoria met Scarlett and Thor here.

“Victoria, we’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” Thor cheerfully and straightforwardly said.

“Mr. Thor, you’re here too.” Victoria greeted the two, “Miss Scarlett.”

“Sit down.” Scarlett smiled and said, “Victoria, we’re friends, no need to be so formal.”

“Okay.” Victoria smiled and nodded, though she was aware that she was able to sit with Scarlett and Thor because of Xu Mo. In reality, their social classes were different.

“Miss Scarlett, did you call me here for something?” Victoria continued her polite inquiry.

Scarlett glanced at Thor beside her, and Thor asked softly, “Victoria, has Zeus contacted you?”

“Contacted me?” Victoria was taken aback, “Has he come to Asgard?”

Thor looked into Victoria’s eyes and saw she didn’t seem to be lying, so he asked again, “Really, no contact?”

Victoria appeared confused, shook her head, and said, “Mr. Thor, have you heard something that he’s here?”

Her tone even carried a hint of excitement.

“I haven’t heard any damn news.” Thor muttered quietly, “That guy actually left his ‘girlfriend’ here.”

Victoria blinked and said, “Mr. Thor…”

“Just kidding, a female friend.” Thor grinned and continued, “I thought he had secretly contacted you.”

Thor thought that if Xu Mo had come to Asgard, he would likely contact Victoria and ask her not to reveal anything, hence the earlier probing.

With such major events happening in Asgard, is he really not coming?

Victoria shook her head and asked, “Will Mr. Zeus come?”

“He probably will.” Thor said in a frustrated tone, “That guy still owes me a debt.”

“Mr. Thor, do you have any news about Mr. Zeus? How’s he doing now?” Victoria asked. Although she now had a certain status, it was still relative to ordinary civilians, and she didn’t know much about affairs outside the planet.

“Doing well?” Thor remarked, “Don’t worry, he’s doing great. There’s been some cosmic turmoil, and he’s partly responsible for it.”

Zeus had taken away the Star Ring, and Thor had heard some things afterwards.

That guy Zeus was probably a descendant of the Empire.

Victoria was speechless after hearing Thor’s words. Cosmic turmoil, partly because of Mr. Zeus?

“Victoria, if Zeus contacts you when he arrives in Asgard, tell him we’re looking for him and won’t reveal any of his information.” Scarlett said gently.

“Okay.” Victoria nodded, “If Mr. Zeus does contact me, I’ll certainly pass the message.”

“Come on, tell me about your life.” Scarlett didn’t pursue the topic further, but raised her glass with a smile.

After a while, the group parted ways under the Asgard Tower.

After watching Victoria leave, Thor asked, “Is that guy Zeus really not here?”

“Victoria doesn’t seem to be lying.” Scarlett replied, “Even though this cosmic conference promises a peace agreement without using force, it’s only verbal assurance. If Zeus does appear, it could still be risky; he might not come.”

“But I feel like that guy will definitely come.” Thor said, “Moreover, he’s really cunning; Zeus might not be his real identity. This name must be fake, and his relation to the rumored Xu Mo is unknown, so even if he comes, he’ll probably hide his identity and won’t expose himself. Contacting Victoria might just be a gamble; I suspect that guy wouldn’t reach out to us even if he arrives.”

“That’s a possibility.” Scarlett nodded.

“Let’s go.” They said, and left the area in a flying device.

Victoria walked down the road, continuously pondering over what Scarlett and Thor had said; would Mr. Zeus really return to Asgard?

Even if he did, he might not necessarily contact her.

After all, they weren’t that familiar.

In Asgard’s central area, flying devices zoomed overhead everywhere, and the streets were filled with fast-paced traffic, with people bustling back and forth.

Beside the road, a figure quietly stood there, watching the bustling flow of people.

The figure wore a stylish black suit and sunglasses, looking gentlemanly, as he glanced at the departing flying devices and then watched Victoria’s distant departing figure.

He lifted his steps and merged into the crowd.

Indeed, Thor’s intelligence seemed to have improved a bit.

This figure was exactly the ‘Zeus’ they were trying to find, but after arriving here, he had assumed another identity.

Such an important cosmic event, how could he miss it?
