Chapter 558: Memorial

Inside the Annihilator Starship · Guangxiao.

In the central prayer hall, a white crystal coffin was placed, containing Asya’s clothes from when he was alive.

Lily, Aeto, Ellora, Lannite, Mokaliwei, and other Saint Eleanor Knights, dressed in white robes with white flowers on their chests, stood sadly on the left side of the crystal coffin. Vice Minister Aidelig, Archbishop Deshir, Commander Misa, Legion Commander Abick, and others stood on the right side of the crystal coffin.

Many generals and officers stood in rows below, their faces filled with sorrow and loss.

At this moment, Van Lo, God Emperor walked to the front of the crowd, holding a bouquet of white flowers, and placed them on the crystal coffin. With a solemn and respectful expression, he bowed to the crystal coffin.

All personnel from the Apocalypse God Country present followed suit and bowed.

Then, Van Lo, God Emperor turned around, and with a sorrowful expression, spoke to everyone.

“Today is a dark day for the Apocalypse God Country. Our beloved Team leader Asya of the Saint Eleanor Knights, in order to uphold his faith and fight against the evil Federation, unfortunately sacrificed himself and returned to the embrace of the Lord God.”

Upon hearing Van Lo’s words, many generals and officers immediately reddened their eyes, some even sobbing softly, and the atmosphere plummeted to rock bottom.

“I know everyone is very sad and confused, but we cannot continue to be so dejected, nor can we let Asya’s sacrifice be in vain! As the saying goes, blood debts must be paid with blood, and the Federation must pay the price for this.”

Van Lo, God Emperor spoke passionately to everyone present.

“Blood for blood!”

“Avenge Team leader Asya!”

Many generals and officers of the Apocalypse God Country present roared with red eyes and surging emotions.

“Very good, I will uphold the will of the Lord God and lead you to launch a general attack to eliminate the evil Federation!”

Van Lo, God Emperor declared to the crowd.

“Eliminate the Federation!”

The crowd roared with excitement.

Commander Misa and others, while their expressions remained unchanged, felt their hearts sink to the bottom.

Ultimately, what was bound to happen had come. Van Lo, God Emperor was using Asya’s death to rally and inspire before the final attack.

Van Lo, God Emperor looked at the aroused anger of his subordinates and raised his hand with satisfaction, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Soon, the scene quieted down.

“Now, everyone immediately rest and reorganize. When the time is ripe, it will be the Federation’s day of doom!”

Van Lo, God Emperor said to the crowd.

“Yes!”

Everyone present responded in unison.

“Dismissed!”

Van Lo, God Emperor then turned and left.

Soon after, the Annihilator Starship · Guangxiao opened its boarding exit.

Van Lo, God Emperor piloted the Infernal Angel and rushed out, flying at extreme speed towards the distant starry sky.

Soon, he entered the Type VI Fortress-Class Kaggsamo and once again arrived in the tumor hall.

Deputy Clan Leader Komihe stood in the middle of the tumor hall.

Van Lo, God Emperor parked his mecha in front of Komihe, opened the cockpit, and floated down.

“Van Lo, God Emperor, you’ve arrived.”

Komihe spoke politely.

“Komihe, I’m here to discuss the attack on the defense line with you again.”

Van Lo, God Emperor said with a smile.

“Didn’t we agree before to attack the Federation’s defense line in a continuous battle? According to the agreement, it should be your turn next. Is there any problem?”

Komihe looked at Van Lo, God Emperor and asked.

“Komihe, as you’ve seen, when your elders were fighting the Federation, our Apocalypse God Country did not stand by and watch. Instead, we dispatched our most elite troops to participate in the battle, and as a result, my most trusted brother, Team leader Asya, was killed in action.”

“I know that, and I deeply regret Asya’s death.”

“So I think it’s necessary for us to change our combat strategy. We cannot continue to drag this out with the Federation. The longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be for us.”

A flicker of imperceptible light flashed in Van Lo, God Emperor’s eyes as he spoke.

“Then what should we do?”

Komihe looked at Van Lo, God Emperor with interest and asked.

“I’ve decided that after we rest and reorganize, I will launch a general attack on the Mingyue Star Defense Line. At that time, I hope you can join me to break through the Mingyue Star Defense Line in one fell swoop.”

Van Lo, God Emperor decided to go all in.

Asya’s death and Su Ming’s arrival made him increasingly uneasy. If he dragged it out any longer, he might really fail at the last minute.

“Are you sure this will work? Don’t forget, the Federation has large-scale clear-out weapons. We might be wiped out in one go.”

Komihe quickly reminded him after hearing Van Lo, God Emperor’s words.

“I have my own way for that, don’t worry. At that time, you just need to cooperate with me fully.”

Van Lo, God Emperor replied confidently.

“No problem, our Vice Patriarch specifically instructed me to cooperate with you fully! At that time, you can attack as much as you want, and our Qilami Clan will definitely go all out.”

“Very good, then I wish us victory!”

Van Lo, God Emperor said, delighted to hear Komihe agree.

“Good!”

Komihe responded with a smile.

Mingyue Star Defense Line.

Inside the Star Destroyer Leiji’s central control room.

Su Ming stood on the observation deck, gazing at the distant starry sky, watching many soldiers operating their mechas, rescuing surviving comrades, lost in thought. He couldn’t help but recall Asya’s last words before his death.

“Su Ming, please tell Lily for me that we no longer owe Van Lo, God Emperor any favors.”

Su Ming’s expression also shifted slightly as he thought of this.

To be honest, in that final battle, although he controlled Ilyinas to unleash her ice-attribute ability, under normal circumstances, he could only resist the heat and counterattack. But he never expected that the power of ice would actually overpower Asya.

Originally, Su Ming thought that this might be Asya creating an excuse for himself, but he didn’t expect him to be intent on dying.

This couldn’t help but make Su Ming sigh with emotion.

At this moment, ONeill walked up to Su Ming and respectfully reported.

“Sir, the spoils of war have been mostly recovered.”

“Mmm.”

“However, that Type VI mecha is severely damaged and is estimated to be difficult to repair.”

“I know.”

“Also, what should we do with Asya’s body?”

“Seal it up. No matter who comes to claim it, do not give it to them. I will personally dispose of it later.”

Su Ming calmly instructed ONeill.

“Understood.”

ONeill immediately responded, understanding the implication.

Buzz~

At this moment, Su Ming’s wristband suddenly vibrated, and a message popped up.

“Respected General Su Ming, please proceed immediately to the Moonfall Star Headquarters for a remote meeting.”

Su Ming looked down at the message, then said to Timmy.

“Timmy, proceed immediately to the Moonfall Star Headquarters!”

“Yes!”

Timmy immediately began operating.

The Star Destroyer Leiji then turned around and headed towards the Moonfall Star Headquarters.

Moonfall Star Defense Line General Headquarters.

In the conference hall.

At this time, General Angulate, Major General Hesia, Mo Li Ge Ke, General Xinlade, Mia, and others were all gathered here.

Many generals and officers present were continuously discussing.

“I heard that the Black Flame Star Defense Line and the Cuilan Star Defense Line are still fighting.”

“It’s not just fighting; both sides are fighting fiercely.”

“We originally thought our Moonfall Star Defense Line was the most dangerous, but we unexpectedly repelled the enemy first.”

“This is thanks to Principal Mirog coming to support us, and of course, most importantly, General Su Ming killing Team leader Asya.”

“I heard about that too; it’s simply unbelievable.”

“I was also very shocked. Team leader Asya was the pillar of the Apocalypse God Country, and he was actually killed.”

“Do you have the combat video?”

“Of course, I’ll show it to you.”

Some generals raised their wristbands and tapped a few times, projecting the combat footage.

Mia and others gathered around to watch.

“That’s truly amazing!”

“That skill and power, it’s unparalleled.”

“But I’m a bit confused. When Su Ming was entangled by Team leader Asya at the end, how did he suddenly unleash the Zero Envoy’s ability and freeze the opponent in reverse?”

“Exactly! When I saw this part, I was originally sweating for Su Ming, but I didn’t expect such a reversal.”

“Is this the ability of a biological mecha? It’s incredible!”

Everyone watched the intense combat footage, occasionally letting out exclamations.

Major General Hesia, listening to everyone’s discussions, also said to General Angulate with some emotion.

“Angelaite, if you were to face Asya, how confident would you be in taking him down?”

“I wouldn’t be confident. Setting aside the difference in mecha performance, even if we used the same model of mecha, I admit my skill is slightly inferior to his. Perhaps only Cabuno Fa could achieve it.”

Angelaite shook his head and replied.

Just then, the conference room door was pushed open, and Su Ming walked straight in.

Swish!

Everyone’s gaze in the room immediately focused on Su Ming.

Su Ming was startled by everyone’s gaze, instinctively stopped, and awkwardly greeted them.

“Everyone, you’re all here!”

“Su Ming, you’re here!”

Many generals and officers present gathered around Su Ming, greeting him warmly.

Mia was about to step forward and say a few words to Su Ming, but she was directly pushed aside.

She also had a dark expression.

At this moment, Evelyn walked up to Mia and said with great emotion.

“Sigh~ Su Ming really gets more handsome the more I look at him.”

“I warn you, don’t even think about him.”

Mia warned Evelyn irritably.

“As the saying goes, don’t let good things go to outsiders. Although our relationship isn’t great, we’ve known each other for so many years. It’s better for me to benefit than someone else.”

Evelyn said to Mia.

“Hmph, dream on.”

Mia replied angrily.

At this moment, Mo Li Ge Ke also walked up to Su Ming, extended his hand, and said with a smile.

“Su Ming, long time no see. I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“Yes! It has been quite a while.”

Su Ming quickly shook his hand and said.

“I haven’t had a chance to thank you for what happened last time. This time, thanks to you again, we managed to defend the line.”

Mo Li Ge Ke said gratefully.

“Don’t say that. The defense line being held is everyone’s credit, not just mine.”

Su Ming also replied politely.

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Mo Li Ge Ke immediately reacted and echoed.

“Su Ming, you are too humble.”

Everyone praised him.

Just then, the conference room door suddenly opened, and Dragon Dust, Principal Mirog, Long Shadow, Commander Soleia, Commander Fulaia, and others walked in.

The noisy conference hall immediately quieted down.

“Everyone quickly return to your seats, the remote meeting is about to begin.”

Dragon Dust said to the crowd.

“Yes!”

Su Ming and the others walked to their respective seats.

Once everyone was seated, a huge virtual image appeared on the council platform.

Dragon White, Speaker of the House’s image immediately appeared in everyone’s view. At the same time, Su Ming and the others could see a row of council members seated behind Dragon White.

“Dragon White, Speaker of the House!”

Su Ming and the others stood up and greeted him respectfully.

“Sit!”

Dragon White raised his hand, signaling Su Ming and the others to sit down.

Su Ming and the others then sat down again.

“The main purpose of holding this meeting today is to commend everyone present. You fought a very beautiful defensive battle this time, successfully inflicting heavy damage on the Apocalypse God Country and getting off to a good start. On behalf of the council, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to you!”

Dragon White praised everyone.

Clap, clap!

The many council members behind Dragon White applauded enthusiastically.

“Thank you, Dragon White, Speaker of the House!”

Dragon Dust and the others spoke up in thanks.

“However, you must not let your guard down. Although we have achieved some victory, the crisis has not been resolved. You must guard the Mingyue Star Defense Line well. Behind you are countless relatives and compatriots; you absolutely cannot let the enemy break through.”

Dragon White said solemnly to everyone.

“Yes!”

Everyone responded in unison.

“Very good, finally, I wish you a triumphant return!”

Dragon White finished speaking and then cut off the remote communication.

At this moment, Dragon Dust walked to the conference platform and said to everyone.

“I’ll briefly explain the current situation. Although the forces of the Apocalypse God Country and the Kirami Clan have stopped their attack and retreated to rest, the crisis has not been resolved. Although General Su Ming killed Team leader Asya, causing heavy damage to the Apocalypse God Country, in a sense, it also accelerated the progress of the war. The Apocalypse God Country is now desperate. Not long ago, Van Lo used the opportunity to mourn Asya to hold a general mobilization meeting before the overall offensive.”

Gwen then presented a public holographic image to everyone.

After watching, Su Ming and the others all looked very solemn.

“However they want to fight, we’ll accompany them to the end.”

“That’s right, we’ll fight until they are convinced.”

“They really think we’re made of mud.”

Angelaite and others spoke up.

“Everyone quiet down and listen to me! The Apocalypse God Country alone is nothing, but the Qilami Clan will definitely participate in the general attack, so everyone must not let their guard down.”

Deputy Speaker of the House Long Chen instructed everyone.

“Understood!”

“We need to seize the time to rest and reorganize, to face the upcoming war in the best possible state. We absolutely cannot lose this war.”

“Yes!”

Everyone said with solemn expressions.

“Very good, I won’t say anything else. Meeting adjourned!”

Dragon Dust directly announced.

Many generals and officers stood up and hurriedly left the conference room.

Principal Mirog, with a beaming smile, walked towards Mia.

Unfortunately, Mia saw Mirog approaching and simply ignored him, leaving.

On the cold corridor.

Su Ming walked towards the moving platform.

Just then, he felt someone catching up and was about to turn his head to look back.

He was then caught in a chokehold by Mia.

“You stinky brat, when did you get here? You didn’t even tell me.”

“Teacher Mia, can you please let go first?”

Su Ming said with a smile, reminding her.

“Why?”

“So many people are watching?”

“Cough, cough, that’s not important. Shouldn’t you buy me a drink?”

Mia, hearing Su Ming’s words, realized that the passing generals were all looking at her. She quickly let go and said.

“That might not be a good idea. It’s a very special time right now.”

Su Ming said with some hesitation.

“What’s wrong with it? Just a little bit, let’s go!”

Mia didn’t care if Su Ming agreed or not and directly dragged him away.

Not long after.

Mia pulled Su Ming to the commercial street in Moonfall Star’s base city.

Although the entire commercial street was lively, it was still much less so than when Su Ming had last visited.

However, this was normal; most wealthy people had temporarily evacuated to the Third Planet, or at least to Di Yan Star.

At this moment, Mia pulled Su Ming into a bar called Xiaoyue.

“Welcome!”

A female bartender stepped forward to greet them.

“Give us your most expensive set meal!”

Mia said without ceremony.

“Okay!”

The female bartender replied excitedly.

Su Ming and Mia found a booth and sat down, then Su Ming said with a smile,

“Teacher Mia, aren’t you afraid I can’t pay?”

“Oh, come on, don’t you think I didn’t see the mecha your unit is equipped with? The mecha that scoundrel Ankajia drives is better than mine, so how could you be out of money?”

Mia rolled her eyes at Su Ming.

“Haha.”

Su Ming chuckled.

At this moment, the bartender brought out bottles of strong liquor and platters of meat, placing them on the table.

Mia quickly picked up a bottle of white wine, opened it, poured two full large glasses, and then raised one, saying,

“Come on, let’s have a toast first!”

“Ah?”

Su Ming was slightly stunned.

“What’s with all the fuss?”

Mia clinked her glass with Su Ming’s, then drained it in one gulp.

Su Ming also bit the bullet and finished the wine in his glass.

At this point, Mia directly picked up the bottle and refilled the glasses.

Su Ming looked at Mia’s posture and cautiously asked,

“Teacher Mia, what’s wrong with you? Did someone upset you?”

“No, I just feel disgusted by how this war is being fought.”

Mia said, looking very annoyed.

“What exactly happened?”

“Nothing really, it’s just that Van Lo, God Emperor is truly not just any ordinary scoundrel. At the start of the war, he made Commander Misa and his forces from the Abyss of Fallen fight us! You should know that Commander Misa and their relationship with us is actually quite good; they don’t want to fight us either.”

“I know that. They were the ones who secretly informed us about the attack and even allowed us into the Abyss of Fallen.”

Su Ming nodded and said.

“Exactly. Now, a full-scale war is about to break out again. Who knows what tricks Van Lo, God Emperor will pull this time.”

Mia sighed and said.

Upon hearing this, Su Ming asked,

“Since Commander Misa and his people don’t want to fight us, why don’t you just make them turn against him?”

“It’s no use, Soleia Commander has already tried to persuade them.”

“Oh.”

Su Ming responded thoughtfully.

Just then, a figure suddenly walked over, sat down with a plop, and, looking at the table full of good wine, said with sparkling eyes,

“Wow, so much good wine!”

Su Ming was also slightly stunned. How did Principal Mirog get here?

When Mia saw it was Mirog, her face immediately darkened, and she said irritably,

“What are you doing here? I didn’t invite you.”

“You didn’t invite me, but Su Ming did, right?”

Mirog looked at Su Ming with a grin.

“Oh, yes, yes, yes! I invited Mr. Mirog. Thank you very much for what happened last time.”

Su Ming immediately reacted and quickly thanked Mirog.

“No need to thank me! Wow, this is really good wine!”

Mirog then picked up the most expensive bottle of red wine, opened it, and took a big swig directly from the bottle.

Mia looked at Mirog’s contented expression and immediately became furious. She then picked up two bottles of wine, stood up, and snorted coldly, saying,

“I’m going to drink at another table!”

“Teacher Mia, let’s talk this over properly.”

Su Ming quickly called out to Mia.

Unfortunately, Mia didn’t give Su Ming any face and walked straight to a distant booth and sat down.

Seeing Mia leave, Mirog also sighed helplessly.

“Sigh~”

“Mr. Mirog, what exactly happened between you and Teacher Mia? Why is your relationship so bad?”

Su Ming asked, very puzzled by what he saw.

Although he knew their relationship wasn’t good, he didn’t expect it to be this bad.

Mirog heard Su Ming’s question, and a look of guilt appeared on his face as he sighed and said,

“Our relationship is so bad, it’s not Mia’s fault, I owe her.”

“Can you tell me about it?”

“There’s nothing that can’t be said. This matter goes back to when the Apocalypse God Country and the Dark Star Empire separated.”

“Ah? This matter is related to them?”

Su Ming asked, very surprised.

“Yes, back then, the Federation split into three, and the Royal Court Academy also split into three. Council Speaker Long Xian decided to form an expeditionary force to conquer and reclaim the Dark Star Empire and the Apocalypse God Country! I was also one of the supporters of that expedition, and for that, I specially formed an academy unit for Mia’s parents to lead! At that time, Mia’s parents were very against it; they believed that the Royal Court Academy was a place for teaching and nurturing, and should not be involved, but I insisted. Ultimately, Mia’s parents sacrificed themselves during the expedition. This incident hit her very hard, so it’s no wonder she resents me.”

Mirog said with great emotion.

“This matter, actually, can’t be entirely blamed on you. You didn’t expect things to turn out this way. But why were you so determined to go on that expedition back then? It shouldn’t have been simply because of the academy’s split, right?”

Su Ming asked in confusion.

He felt that Principal Mirog was not a narrow-minded person.

“How could I go on an expedition for such a reason? My real reason for supporting the expedition was that I didn’t want humanity to split, I wanted humanity to be a whole. Only when humanity is united can it better resist alien races and survive! Imagine, if Dark Star and Apocalypse hadn’t split off, then whether it’s the Neutral Countries, or Saint Jocks and the Shabask Kingdom, they would all be part of the Federation. How well would the Federation have developed all these years? And there would be no wars between us, and no soldiers would die! Do you think we would still be afraid of the Qilami Clan and the Mechanical Clan?”

Principal Mirog looked at Su Ming and asked.

“You have a point. If that were truly the case, today wouldn’t be us getting beaten, but us going on an expedition against them.”

Su Ming heard Mirog’s words and thought about it carefully; it seemed to be true. If the Federation were still the original Federation, its current military strength would have reached a terrifying level.

“You’re right, but there aren’t that many ‘ifs’ in this world.”

Principal Mirog said with a sigh.

“Mr. Mirog, don’t be too upset. How about I try to persuade her later?”

Su Ming said to Mirog.

“Cough cough, Fleck was right, you are indeed very good. Can you do me a favor?”

Mirog coughed a few times and said with a tired expression.

“Please tell me.”

Su Ming said respectfully.

“I’m old too, and there are many things I truly can’t do anymore. Please give this key to Mia for me.”

Mirog took out a mecha key and handed it to Su Ming, saying.

“Is that okay?”

Su Ming looked at the key Mirog handed over, his mouth twitching slightly. Was he planning to throw in the towel?

“Sigh, it’s your generation’s time now. We old folks should retire.”

Mirog explained to Su Ming.

“Alright.”

Su Ming took the key and nodded.

Mirog reached out and patted Su Ming’s shoulder, then stood up, picked up three bottles of wine, and left forlornly.

Su Ming looked at Mirog’s desolate back, his mood complex as he glanced at the key in his hand, then stood up and walked towards Mia.

At this moment, Mia was sitting alone in a booth, drinking in silence.

Su Ming walked up to her, sat down, and handed the key in his hand to Mia, saying,

“Teacher Mia, this is what Mr. Mirog left for you.”

Mia looked at the dark key but didn’t take it, merely pouring herself a glass of wine and drinking it silently.

Su Ming sighed and said,

“Teacher Mia, actually, Mr. Mirog is also very remorseful now. He really didn’t expect things to turn out that way, and he had his own difficulties in that matter.”

After listening to Su Ming’s words, Mia put down the wine glass in her hand, remained silent for a few seconds, and then said,

“I know. When I was little, I didn’t understand, and I truly hated him. But now that I’m grown up, how could I not understand?”

“Ah? Then why are you still so cold to him?”

Su Ming was also stunned when he heard Mia.

“That’s still because he keeps snatching my wine, and as soon as he arrives, he picks the most expensive ones. It’s too unfair. And every time there’s good wine at home, he drinks it all up.”

Mia said, feigning extreme annoyance.

Of course, this wasn’t the real reason. The real reason was that Mia didn’t know how to face Mirog. Every time she saw him, memories of her parents would resurface, which is why Mia avoided contact with Mirog. In truth, she had already forgiven him long ago.

“So that’s how it is. Then he certainly deserves to be disliked.”

Su Ming chuckled wryly after hearing Mia’s reply.

Although Su Ming knew Mia’s answer was just an excuse, he didn’t intend to expose it. At least it showed one thing: Mia had already forgiven Mr. Mirog.

“Exactly, just now, as soon as he arrived, he drank several more bottles of my wine.”

Mia also complained there.

Su Ming smiled and reached out his left hand, taking Teacher Mia’s hand, then placed the key in her palm and said,

“Teacher Mia, just take it.”

“I’m only accepting this to give you face!”

Mia didn’t refuse this time, but her words were stubborn.

“Okay, Teacher, you drink first. I suddenly remembered I have something else to do, I’ll go take care of it.”

Su Ming stood up with a smile and said.

“Go ahead, just remember to pay the bill.”

Mia, having lost interest due to Mirog, waved her hand and said.

Su Ming then left the bar and came out onto the bustling main street.

He raised his wristband and composed a message to Vice Principal Fuleike, asking him to forward it to Principal Mirog, telling him that Teacher Mia no longer hated him.

After Su Ming finished these tasks, he turned and left.

Thunder Pole Central Control Room.

Su Ming strode in, and Timmy and the others greeted him one after another.

“Mr. Su Ming, you’re here!”

“Hmm, Timmy, do you have a way to quietly contact Lily?”

Su Ming walked to the command chair, sat down, and asked.

“We can send an encrypted communication to Star Destroyer · Pray Light. The Apocalypse God Country’s monitoring technology isn’t very good, so they probably won’t discover it.”

Timmy said to Su Ming.

“Good!”

Su Ming pondered for a moment and said.

Timmy immediately began the operation, sending a communication request to Star Destroyer · Pray Light.

Time passed second by second, but the communication remained unconnected.

Su Ming waited patiently.

After more than three minutes, the communication finally connected, and Archbishop Deshir’s virtual image immediately appeared.

“Su Ming!”

Archbishop Deshir said, his expression slightly moved when he saw Su Ming.

“Mr. Deshir, is Lily there? I have something to tell her.”

Su Ming said very politely.

Deshir sighed, then turned and walked away.

At this moment, Lily’s image appeared, her expression as indifferent as ever, but upon closer inspection, one could see her eyes were slightly red.

Lily was not indifferent to Asya’s death.

“Mr. Su Ming, what is it?”

Lily looked at Su Ming and asked calmly.

“Is it convenient for you over there?”

“It’s convenient, everyone here is one of us, so just speak directly.”

“I am very sorry about Asya’s death.”

Su Ming said to Lily with great apology.

“Su Ming, you don’t need to apologize. That was my elder brother’s own choice.”

Lily said expressionlessly.

“Sigh, before Asya committed suicide, he asked me to convey a message to you.”

Su Ming sighed, then said to Lily.

“What message?”

Lily’s expression shifted slightly as she looked at Su Ming.

“He told me to tell you that we no longer owe Van Lo, God Emperor any favors!”

Su Ming relayed the message word for word.

“I understand, thank you.”

Lily’s body trembled slightly upon hearing Su Ming’s words, and she said after a few seconds of silence.

In fact, Lily also clearly understood why Asya did what he did.

Asya had long seen that Lily was very disgusted with Van Lo’s actions, and he also knew that his sister stayed in the Apocalypse God Country to serve because of him. Therefore, he wanted to give himself and Lily a release.

Su Ming looked at Lily’s reaction and then said,

“Lily, you should know very well what kind of person Van Lo, God Emperor is, and I can also see that you don’t want to help him. Why don’t you come over to our side?”

“No, we can’t come over.”

Lily shook her head and replied.

“Why?”

Su Ming asked, very puzzled.

At this moment, Archbishop Deshir came forward and explained to Su Ming,

“Van Lo, God Emperor controls our families. If any of us betray him, everyone will be implicated.”

“So that’s how it is.”

Su Ming suddenly understood upon hearing this.

“Su Ming, we’ve said everything we need to say. Although we don’t want to be your enemies, we won’t hold back on the battlefield, and you don’t need to have any reservations either.”

Lily said to Su Ming.

“Good!”

Su Ming nodded in response.

“Goodbye!”

“Goodbye!”

Lily bowed to Su Ming, then ended the communication.

Su Ming looked at the extinguished image, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Ankajia and the others, seeing Su Ming silent, didn’t dare to disturb him.

After a long while, Su Ming raised his wristband, opened the Star Cluster Forum, composed a message, and sent it out.
