The Seventh Base - Chapter 1367 126: Fallen in Battle

Skull Star, the fleet was gradually reassembled, and their people fully took over the Kales Empire Fleet.

After the takeover, Skull Star completely lifted the signal blockade on the Kales Empire Fleet. From the Capital Star of the Kales Empire, some congratulatory messages were sent over. Xu Mo let Roson Chris respond and informed the Kales Empire that Sain Kales and Roson Chris would remain here to reorganize the battle outcomes, while Prince Raymond would lead a team back first to prepare for the victory banquet.

Prince Raymond of the Kales Empire is another Destroyer, one of the three Destroyers. He is not Sain’s younger brother, but has followed Sain for many years, helping to establish the Kales Empire and being ennobled as Prince.

He too has been controlled, and ultimately Xu Mo decided that he, Master Qiong, and a group of members from the Kales Empire would lead a fleet back, Master Qiong mingling among them, hardly noticeable.

With the Prince and Master Qiong heading to a capital without Destroyers, as long as the upper echelon is gathered, they can capture them all in one fell swoop. This task poses little difficulty.

Once they have control of the Kales Empire, they plan to launch a counterattack against the Coriade Star Domain and aim to reclaim it.

Securing the Kales Empire marks a bright future for Xu Mo. Odin also understands this, and therefore promises Xu Mo that if he succeeds, Odin will openly form an alliance.

It’s a pity that the Coriade Star Domain was lost, but there’s still a chance to seize it.

Their advantage lies in previously occupying a weaker position, thus forging tighter alliances, while the opposing major powers visibly have stronger forces, yet are rife with intrigue.

For instance, in the recent Asgard battle, Saint Tiya’s actual target was Coriade. None of the three major forces actually intended to fight in Asgard.

……

Kales Empire Capital Star.

A fleet successfully entered the space base and headed towards the surface.

This returning fleet consisted of dozens of ships, all native to the Kales Empire, and part of the Royal Escort Fleet. Even the personnel on board were unchanged, only that they have all been ‘brainwashed’ and are now loyal to Xu Mo.

Prince Raymond and Master Qiong were on the leading main ship, gazing at the Imperial Capital Star before descending to the surface.

At the rear of the fleet, a member of Skull Star was openly maintaining contact with Skull Star, reporting the situation here.

“Report to the main star, the fleet has arrived at the Capital Star and landed, and people from the Kales Empire have come to receive them.” This Commander from Skull Star, named Hamilton, felt a bit excited about the mission. As someone cultivated by Skull Star, he has always held firm beliefs in cosmic unity.

Xu Mo would lead them to establish an orderly Cosmic Empire, marked by freedom, equality, order, and free from war.

“Prince Raymond and the others have boarded the flying devices and have been taken away. Our orders are to temporarily wait within the fleet.”

“It seems others are approaching, they are heading towards the fleet. They appear to be soldiers of the Kales Empire, familiar with fleet members.”

Hamilton felt a sense of vigilance, looking ahead and saying, “Something seems off. They are chatting with the fleet members. How come there’s interaction when fleet members are ours? Something is happening.”

Hamilton’s eyes sharpened abruptly. Though no conflict broke out, he keenly sensed the unusual atmosphere.

The Kales Empire troops began moving towards each starship, and some approached the rear as well.

Immediately, Hamilton was extremely tense.

“Hamilton.” A voice came from the opposite side. Recognizing who it was, Hamilton said, “General Benjamin, I’m here.”

“Do not open the starship hatch, just observe their intentions.” Benjamin instructed.

“They are calling to open the hatch,” Hamilton said.

“Inform others not to open the hatch, wait for their next move.” Benjamin continued.

“Understood.” Hamilton nodded. “They haven’t forcibly breached the hatch below.”

“Whizz…” Hamilton spoke and his face instantly turned pale.

The signal was cut… the opposing side blocked the starship signal at this moment, the implications clear.

They intend to act against this fleet, have they been exposed??

Elsewhere, Prince Raymond and Master Qiong have reached the Kales Empire’s palace, moving forward step by step.

At this time, Master Qiong was fully armed, helmet covering her face, quietly following behind Raymond, observing the faces welcoming them. Leading was Crown Prince Seler.

Next, she just needs to control these people, and she can basically grasp the Kales Empire.

Behind Seler were several fully-armed figures. Master Qiong keenly sensed dangerous auras from some, frowning beneath her helmet.

Could it be a misconception?

“Prince Raymond, there’s a matter to discuss.” Before Seler could speak, a figure behind him spoke up. Upon his words, multiple terrifying spiritual powers enveloped the domain, exerting immense pressure on Raymond and others, which Master Qiong also felt.

Her face turned somewhat grave, carrying the aura of the Destroyer.

And Lin members!

Lin members, sharing the same intent, sought to control Kales Empire’s core members…

Raymond’s expression changed, releasing his aura. One from the opposite side continued, “Your family is in our hands, Prince, so don’t resist.”

As he spoke, the leading figure’s helmet lowered, revealing his face, precisely Lin Qinghe.

At the moment Master Qiong saw Lin Qinghe, she understood—Lin Qinghe had come to the Kales Empire personally for Sain.

“Have the starship notify Skull Star over there…” Qiong’s heart raced, a thought emerging in his mind.

“Hmm?” Lin Qinghe seemed to sense Qiong’s presence. He frowned, and the next moment, an incredibly violent wave of spiritual power surged out, striking towards Qiong.

“Boom…”

With a loud explosion, Qiong’s body shot up into the sky, fleeing into the distance.

“Watch him.” As Lin Qinghe’s words fell, his body also turned into a beam of light. A terrifying domain enveloped the vast area, and with a grasp in the air, a giant energy handprint appeared above, descending towards Qiong to crush him.

“Qiong.”

A voice exploded directly in Qiong’s mind. Lin Qinghe’s spiritual power had already detected her presence, and a horrifying giant hand appeared in Qiong’s mind, also attempting to grasp her.

Lin Qinghe’s face was extremely grim. He had received a reply that the Kales Empire’s fleet would return before the prince, feeling somewhat displeased as he hoped to settle matters once and for all.

But now, the situation forced him to wait and first control Prince Raymond.

However, he unexpectedly saw Qiong here.

This meant that the information he received was false… the Kales Empire’s expedition fleet had been defeated.

The fleet had already been taken over by the other side, who, like him, aimed to control the Kales Empire.

“Worthless!”

Lin Qinghe cursed angrily in his heart, blaming Sain for establishing the Kales Empire, proclaiming himself Emperor, leading the imperial army on an expedition, only to be defeated by Skull Star?

This made Lin Qinghe extremely furious, realizing that the Kales Empire’s fleet had already been integrated into Skull Star’s forces?

“Bang.”

Qiong shattered the crushing energy handprint but was also blocked from fleeing. Lin Qinghe rose vertically, appearing in front of her, as a furious storm of spiritual power continually assaulted her mind.

“Qiong, you were originally my Lin’s servant, submitted to me.” Lin Qinghe’s voice was domineering, invading Qiong’s mind. Now there was still a chance to control Qiong, block the information, and lure Xu Mo here to capture him.

“Get out.” A cold shout resounded in Qiong’s mind, her spiritual power was also incredibly strong, always being the one to invade others’ minds.

But now, she was facing Lin Qinghe.

She was not a servant of the Lin family, and the Emperor never treated her as such, even guiding her cultivation, helping her grow, evolving step by step to the peak of humanity.

She remained eternally loyal to the Emperor, her life’s purpose after his departure was to protect, to safeguard Zero’s growth.

“Sizzle…” The violent energy coalesced into a sword, Lin Qinghe snorted coldly, a thought transformed this world into his cosmic world, where a towering, deity-like figure appeared, Lin Qinghe throw a punch through the air.

Qiong’s sword struck out with a resounding bang, the sword’s power blocked the fist’s momentum, but the sword also shattered.

With a thought, the deity-like figure unleashed countless fist rays through the sky, Qiong waved her palms forward, an energy barrier forming in front of her. Bang… the domineering fist rays shattered it, a destructive beam piercing everything, striking Qiong’s armor.

A muffled groan escaped, and Qiong’s body was sent flying.

Her combat strength was strong, but Lin Qinghe was among the universe’s strongest.

“Qiong, you were once my Lin’s maid, and you dare defy the Lord of Lin? Submit to me, and I shall spare you.” Lin Qinghe’s voice resonated in Qiong’s mind, continually invading her mind, seeking to probe Qiong’s memory and gain full control over her.

Qiong felt the intrusion of spiritual power, a resolute expression flashing in her eyes.

She could not live.

Otherwise, she would become a tool for Lin Qinghe against Xu Mo and Zero.

“Boom…”

A beam of light descended from the sky, the vast space gathered countless lights, all of them energy, pouring into Qiong’s body, unleashing a supreme aura from within her, a sword descending from the sky, hovering before her.

“Hmm?” Lin Qinghe frowned, could Qiong actually summon such power?

High above, the sky radiated brilliantly, people below raised their eyes to the heavens.

Then, they witnessed an incredibly dazzling sword, cleaving through the heavens, piercing towards Lin Qinghe.

“Ignorant of life and death.”

In Lin Qinghe’s hand appeared the Origin Sword, the sky trembled, with the release of his sword, a universe was split open.

The two beams of sword light intersected in the sky, clashing fiercely. Under the onslaught of the Origin Sword, Qiong’s sword teetered on the brink of vanishing, but the light burst forth. A phantom seemed to appear on the sword, as if Qiong’s life force had merged with this sword.

“You’re crazy.”

Lin Qinghe’s voice echoed across the sky, the destructive sword light descended, a muffled groan sounded from Lin Qinghe.

In front, the sword’s beam pierced through Qiong’s body, countless energy light points appeared in the sky, as if containing Qiong’s soul.

“The Empire shall rise.” A voice echoed in Lin Qinghe’s mind, and then everything dissipated.

Lin Qinghe watched the vanishing figure, his face ashen. Qiong, preferring to fight to the death rather than be controlled by him.
