The Seventh Base - Chapter 1343: 102: Pope's Faith

Capítulo 1343: Chapter 102: Pope’s Faith

At this moment, the carrier was also in outer space near the O’Brian Star, inside the Base Starship’s main ship, with Gaia, Master Qiong, and Zero all present.

Due to the carrier’s presence, there was no need for any communication; they could clearly understand the current battle situation on O’Brian Star. But in fact, the screen was displaying the unfolding war on O’Brian Star.

“Still not going in for the kill?” A voice sounded from behind. The speaker was Zero’s ‘mother’ Hera, who had seen Lin Qinghe and the others, those Lin family traitors.

These people, all deserved to die.

“There are still quite a few fleets from the Emperor Star Domain in outer space near O’Brian Star. Our fleet’s strength is weak. If we charge in now, it would be difficult to deal with the Emperor Star Fleet’s backup forces, leading to huge losses or even total annihilation,” the carrier said. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to join the battle, but the gap between their fleet and the Emperor Star Fleet was too big.

If they attacked rashly, their fleet would suffer greatly, and Xu Mo couldn’t bear that kind of loss.

This time, their fleet had also set out in full force, all arriving at this space battle.

Now, they needed greater chaos, which required the battlefield on O’Brian Star to become more intense.

“I suspect that we are not the only ones in this space. Probes have already been released, and they should be able to monitor some movements,” Gaia said. Previously, there were some messages from various major cosmic forces.

He suspected that the Church and Saint Tiya Star would really miss this war?

Not necessarily.

Of course, they also had contingencies.

Under the premise of preserving their fleet’s power as much as possible, they still needed to save O’Brian Star. Even though the thoughts of the Mystic God were hard to predict, at least for the moment, they were on the same front.

The survival of O’Brian Star was crucial for the universe’s situation; if it were destroyed, the balance would tilt significantly.

“Continuing to fight, O’Brian Star might still not be able to hold out,” the carrier looked at the screen, also reflecting his true feelings on the battlefield. This time, the Emperor Star Domain dispatched its entire main fleet, and many starships had terrifying attack power.

Blocking these main fleets consumed greatly, which also led to many attacks hitting the ground. Even the energy storm from the explosions affected the surface, and at this moment, the Imperial Shield Corps had begun landing on the ground.

The Mystic God had forged a very strong mechanical army, but compared to the Emperor Star Domain’s years of foundation, it was still not enough. The corps in Golden Battle Armor rampaged on the ground, focusing on destroying areas with anti-air weapons.

On the ground of O’Brian Star, large-scale chaos also occurred, with casualties everywhere. Even ordinary transcendent beings participated in the battlefield, although it didn’t affect the situation much.

“Osman O’Brian is suppressing Lin Kun and Lin Xu. With continued combat, Lin Kun and the two might not hold on. With Osman’s abilities, he will pose a huge threat to other Destroyers. If he can sweep away the Emperor Star’s Destroyers, there might be a turning point in the battle,” Gaia’s eyes were fixed on a battlefield direction, where Osman was.

“What is that…”

At that moment, someone murmured.

“Adjust the screen to clear view.”

“It’s an image captured by a probe—a beam of light… No, it’s a figure, and there’s a starship behind him. This figure’s speed is comparable to that of a starship.”

The people in the command room discussed, showing a hint of surprise. They adjusted the captured image to the highest clarity, and quickly they saw a humanoid silhouette.

“It’s the Pope,” Gaia’s pupils contracted, seeing the silhouette holding a scepter and a sword.

This meant that His Holiness the Pope from the Church had personally arrived.

“There are also figures following behind him, almost impossible to capture; they’re the Church Elders…”

The Pope, bringing the Church Elders to the battlefield, wanted to change the tide directly.

“Leader, the Pope is here and is heading toward O’Brian Star,” Xu Mo spoke to the front.

“Understood.”

A deep, powerful voice replied to him.

The beams transformed by the Pope advanced at a speed comparable to light, traversing the cosmic space. They seemed to have already communicated with the Emperor Star Fleet, as no starships confronted them, allowing them to pass through the fleet and head toward the Emperor Star.

Meanwhile, in the Base Starship command room, several gigantic silhouettes seemed to flash across the screen. These were also images captured by the probes, and these silhouettes had the same destination, O’Brian Star.

On the battlefield of O’Brian Star, Osman transformed his body into the Flame God of War, scattering scorching Divine Light downwards. He stretched his arm forward, launching a massive Handprint attack, as if gigantic cosmic bodies appeared above the sky, containing destructive energy ready to explode, assimilating all things in the universe.

The universe in his palm, as if it represented the scene before his eyes.

Lin Kun and Lin Xu, the two top experts of the Lin family, simultaneously struck back at the oncoming monstrous Handprint, but the terrifying universe within the palm crushed down like exploding star bodies, threatening to obliterate the sky.

The gigantic phantoms formed by the two were shattered, and their bodies were sent flying, smashing into a starship in the distance, with such terrifying power that the starship was broken apart.

Just as Lin Xu’s body collided and broke the starship, he saw Osman’s Handprint continue its attack. At this moment, Osman had become the starry Flame God of War. The Handprint covered the sky, and starships desperately fired at the massive Handprint, but the terrifying Energy Beams couldn’t halt its advance, directly hitting the starship that Lin Xu had crashed into. Instantly, the starship shattered, then melted, and the people within it let out screams before being turned to nothingness, instantly reduced to ash.

Such an attack, only a Destroyer Level being could withstand.

Lin Xu’s body darted away to the distance, his gaze fixed on the stopping Handprint. Both he and Lin Kun were elders from the Empire era, with top Combat Power, having even comprehended Ultimate Skills, yet they were still unable to defeat Osman even when joining forces.

This former leader of the O’Brian Republic, there were only a handful of beings in the entire universe capable of defeating him, merely a few that could be counted.

If not for the immense power Lin Xu and Lin Kun possessed, they might have been erased on the spot by Osman.

A terrifying pressure continued to envelop, and Lin Xu’s face grew grim. The starship still fired towards Osman, but was blocked by Osman, requiring an entire fleet to even think about killing such a being.

Just then, a piercing light appeared in the sky.

Beams of light shot down, many on the ground of Emperor Star could not open their eyes.

The Emperor Star Fleet noticed too, but did not attack, as they had already received the message that they were allies.

Osman suddenly sensed a feeling of crisis and looked up, squinting his eyes, seeing the piercing light from the sky bearing down on him, each beam containing terrifying lethality.

“Boom…”

Osman’s enormous body resembled steel, and when the strong light shone down, he remained unyielding, releasing his perception to lock onto the figure within the light.

There, he saw a figure holding a scepter in the right hand and a sword in the left.

It was the Church’s divine artifacts, the so-called Divine Scepter and Punishment Sword, as the Pope himself had arrived.

Osman did not expect that not only Lin Qinghe was here, but the Pope too.

Evidently, they intended to regard this war at the Capital Star as a decisive battle.

The Pope stood upon the light, an incredibly holy Holy Light cascading down, him standing above as if a creator, holding the scepter high, he spoke loudly: “Osman, the creator is merciful, willing to give you a chance. Should you realize your mistakes and cease the cosmic war, the creator will spare you from punishment.”

Osman gazed at the serene face bathed in Holy Light, asking: “I’m curious as to who the Pope truly is? Why ignite a cosmic war and destroy the universe? If the war destroys the universe, even if the Church’s influence expands and followers fill the land, what meaning does a sinful Cosmic World and deluded, deceived followers hold for the Church?”

With Osman’s insight, it was clear that the Church’s aim was never to quell war but to escalate it.

The post-war universe would be fertile ground for the Church, but what meaning does it hold?

What is this Pope’s ultimate goal?

“All beings are sinful, restarting the universe, weakening the populace’s wisdom, exalting faith, this is the only way to eliminate war. Such a universe would not be a universe of great harmony?” This thought appeared in the Pope’s mind as his ultimate goal.

Of course, these words could not be shared with Osman.

The Pope raised his hand holding the scepter high, and a terrifying aura descended from the sky, countless strands of Holy Light cascading down. The Pope pointed the scepter towards Osman, and instantly the Purifying Holy Light fell, torrents of Light of Destruction descended upon the cosmic space, poised to reduce everything to nothingness.

Osman’s enormous body surrounded by terrifying energy, formed into a protective shield, erupted like a star with searing heat, but the Purifying Holy Light struck down, colliding with it, causing the shield to explode furiously, as if the energy within was being purified.

This endless Purifying Holy Light, Osman stared at the figure above, his massive body suddenly moved, with the sound of thunderous claps, the gigantic Handprint covered the sky, swatting towards the Pope high above.

The Pope glanced downward, and with a thought, extremely resplendent Holy Light shone down, forming an incomparably sacred Holy Light body behind him, like a true god manifesting, surrounded by Holy Light.

The Punishment Sword flew out, landing between the figure’s hands, the sword’s light surged, piercing through the universe.

The Pope uttered a mystical sound, as if praying to the Heavenly Gods, and the sacred phantom behind, grasping the Punishment Sword, thrust down, instantly inflicting the massive Light Sword to descend, the destructive sword light purifying everything in the universe, turning all around into light.
