The Seventh Base

Chapter 1159: Chapter 205: The Storm

The Church’s arriving team was all killed by Xu Mo, while the other cosmic forces did not act, as their people had not yet gathered.

However, with the Church leading the charge, they also realized what kind of place this school was.

Even Satan, the leader of the Twelve War Generals, was present, signifying that this was the main force of the Abyss Corps.

“Who dares to be presumptuous in this area, kill them.”

At this moment, a cold voice spread across the area, it was Satan’s voice. The shout was filled with murderous intent, making many people’s hearts shiver slightly.

Xu Mo landed back at the school. Outside, Skywalkers of the Abyss were everywhere. The children had been taken to the classrooms, unable to see what was happening outside. The battlefield was immediately cleaned as if nothing had happened.

Outside, Avery, Wu Lai, and others were together, witnessing Xu Mo’s massacre of the Church’s men firsthand.

The people of the Church deserved to die. None were innocent, but why did Xu Mo act on behalf of the Abyss to kill the Church people?

“Xu Mo is in danger,” Wu Lai said, “I might have brought it upon him.”

He certainly wouldn’t think, like Rodrigo, that Xu Mo betrayed the Mystic God Temple to join the Abyss. Something unexpected must have happened, forcing Xu Mo’s hand.

“We have the most people coming from the Mystic God Temple; all the Hall Masters are here, so there should be no issues,” Avery whispered, with a hint of self-comfort.

“What do we do now?” Asaka asked.

“Wait for the Mystic God Temple’s orders,” Avery replied.

The Church’s people were killed, but no forces made a move. The area appeared as usual, but the undercurrent had not ceased. All forces were notifying their people on Dark Star.

After the earlier events, everyone realized that this stronghold of the Abyss Corps was extremely significant.

Here, they might be able to get news of Gaia.

No one had thought the most crucial outpost of the Abyss Corps on Dark Star wasn’t in a legion camp but within a school—was it meant for concealment, using the school as a cover?

In their view, the villains from the Abyss could not possibly possess kind intentions.

The school was sealed off by the Abyss Corps outside.

After tidying the battlefield, Xu Mo’s figure descended, everything as usual.

The classroom doors were opened too; curious children poked their heads out. Someone looked at Lin Shou and asked, “Uncle Lin, what happened just now?”

“Nothing much, focus on your studies,” Lin Shou said with a smile.

“Uncle Lin, won’t you be in danger?” a boy asked Lin Shou, as if aware of something.

“No,” Lin Shou laughed, rubbing the boy’s head, and then looked toward Xu Mo approaching, saying, “Your Brother Xu Mo is very capable.”

“Really?” The boy looked at Xu Mo, eyes filled with curiosity.

Xu Mo’s heart was complex, casting a glance at Lin Shou.

He indeed had a grudge against the Church, but after this turmoil, it went beyond vengeance against Wulim; he would be targeted by the entire Church.

The Church would undoubtedly want to kill him.

Moreover, he represented the Abyss in the killings, witnessed by all major cosmic forces, pushing him into a very unfavorable situation. The cosmic forces would likely view him as an Abyss villain.

In this way, he would likely be in trouble in the future.

Satan could easily kill those people, yet Lin Shou made him do it, severing his escape route.

“Well done,” Lin Shou said, addressing the classroom with his back to Xu Mo.

Xu Mo frowned slightly, asking, “With a senior’s ability, leaving the Abyss should be easy. What’s your goal for staying in the Abyss?”

Although the white-robed man appeared young, Xu Mo knew he was at least a centuries-old monster, likely exiled to the Abyss during the Empire era, and had been operating in the Abyss for hundreds of years.

“Look at these children,” Lin Shou said. “You don’t wish for them to grow up to be like Montis and the others, who only know slaughter, living in darkness forever. The Abyss has sacrificed several generations, but ultimately, there must be one to lead everyone out.”

Xu Mo didn’t fully believe Lin Shou’s words.

After all, this was the Great Demon King of the Abyss; who knew how much blood stained his hands, creating Abyss Monsters, training Deadpool. Such a person was not easily understood; whether his words were true or false, only he knew.

“Are you afraid of me?” Lin Shou asked Xu Mo.

Xu Mo shook his head, “With senior’s power, you would have killed me long ago.”

“Then you don’t trust me,” Lin Shou smiled, “though it’s normal not to trust.”

People like him didn’t need others’ trust.

“You’re a good person. Look at these children, this generation and those to come—why should they only survive in the Abyss? Why are they destined to never see the light from birth?”

Lin Shou asked Xu Mo, “Don’t you think it’s unfair to them?”

“How vast the universe is; such unfairness is everywhere,” Xu Mo replied. Not just between inhabitants of different planets, even on the same planet, there was a huge disparity in people’s lives; some bathed in the sunlight, while others could only walk in dark, murky paths.

“Therefore, it must be changed,” Lin Shou said, “You’ve got potential. Stay and follow me, lead them out of the Abyss.”

Xu Mo did not answer.

“Moreover, you have no choice now. Even if I let you go, those hypocrites in the Church would spare no cost to kill you, the Church’s forces are everywhere, including in the O’Brian Republic where you are. Staying in the Abyss is your best choice; here, no one can touch you,” Lin Shou smiled at Xu Mo.

Xu Mo was silent; he truly had no choice.

At this moment, sounds of collisions came from outside. Lin Shou frowned slightly, with an amused expression.

Are there still people sending themselves to death?

Are these people really so eager to meet their deaths?

Outside, a voice forcefully intruded into the school, and at this moment, Montis and the others stepped out, staring at the figure breaking into the school, their aura violent.

Xu Mo also looked at the figure clad in white Battle Armor, slightly stunned.

Zero!

Zero also saw him and walked towards Xu Mo.

“Hmm?” Lin Shou noticed Zero heading this way and showed an interesting expression. Xu Mo saw Montis and the others ready to take action and said, “Stop.”

“Your person?” Lin Shou asked Xu Mo.

“Yes,” Xu Mo replied.

“Stand down,” Lin Shou ordered, and the others stepped back, allowing Zero to reach Xu Mo.

“Didn’t you say you’d wait for me?” Xu Mo was speechless.

Zero looked at him without speaking. In the previous battle, she witnessed Xu Mo killing Church members from outside, understanding that Xu Mo’s situation wasn’t good, and that’s why she came looking for him.

“Girlfriend?” Lin Shou said with a smile.

“Senior, she’s not related to what’s happening here. Could you not make it difficult for her?” Xu Mo asked.

“Why would I make it difficult?” Lin Shou replied, “She has good strength. It’s nice for her to stay with us.”

Didn’t expect one more to come knocking.

This couple is quite interesting.

Lin Shou left them alone, allowing Xu Mo and Zero to be together.

“Fool.” Xu Mo looked at Zero and said.

Zero just looked at him.

“Girlfriend?”

At this time, a voice sounded, and Xu Mo turned to look at the speaker, who was Turing.

“Yes.” Xu Mo nodded, “Zero, this is Mr. Turing.”

“Sir,” Zero greeted.

Turing smiled while sizing up Zero, nodding and said, “Good. Xu Mo, you’re pretty lucky.”

“Indeed.” Xu Mo responded unabashedly, where else can you find such a good girlfriend?

At this moment, he kept his attention on Turing.

If he was Gaia, could he recognize Zero’s identity?

Previously, Zero wanted to come with him, but Xu Mo thought it was risky and didn’t agree, asking Zero to wait outside.

But unexpectedly, Zero still wasn’t assured and came to the school.

Now, Xu Mo couldn’t figure out the relationships between these people.

Is Totem Gaia?

If it is, then Gaia, Lin Shou, Zero… their relations are quite intriguing.

However, Lin Shou didn’t seem to recognize Zero; he showed no special reaction.

Naturally, Xu Mo wouldn’t say anything, unable to discern their connection, whether Lin Shou’s intentions were kind or hostile.

“Great, in the future, you two can attend my lectures together, so there’s company,” Turing said with a smile, deepening Xu Mo’s suspicion.

The chance of Mr. Turing being Gaia is quite high.

Previously, he wasn’t interested in anyone, including Xu Mo, but towards Zero, he seemed somewhat different.

“Alright.” Xu Mo nodded.

Zero glanced at Turing and then at Xu Mo, completely puzzled.

And so, the two stayed in the school.

The storm on Dark Star was intensifying.

People from various factions started heading towards this region, similar to the Mystic God Temple; major Cosmic Forces weren’t just sending a small squad but very powerful teams.

Mystic God Temple dispatched several Hall Masters along with most Skywalkers from the Mystic God Ranking.

Other Cosmic Forces naturally did the same, with lineups not weaker than Mystic God Temple.

Among them, Church forces were notably strong, personally led by the Red-clothed Archbishop.

The Church had already learned about the events at the school, and the Red-clothed Archbishop issued a kill order against Xu Mo.

This region became tumultuous, with strong individuals from all sides arriving one after another, gathering here, as if a greater storm was brewing.
