“[Belief]!”
“It’s [Belief]!”
“It’s General Ling Xiao’s [Belief].”
“Did General Ling Xiao went along with the reinforcements?”
“No, General Ling Xiao appeared on Planet Southcrest a few days ago. Also, god-class operators are forbidden to go out of their country.”
“Why is [Belief] on Planet Haijiao then?”
No one was able to think of an answer after thinking hard for a while.
“Ah, [Belief] is protecting the base.”
The footage finally cleared up and all the citizens could now see what [Belief] was doing.
To protect the base from being destroyed by their enemy mechas, [Belief] stood on top of the base and attacked the enemy mechas with its six-wing beams.
“[Belief] is supposed to have 12 wings, right?” Based on what they knew, every god-class mecha had a signature god-class technique. [Belief]’s signature technique was Divine Punishment. Its twelve wings were the ones that would carry out this technique. However, only half of the wings were used. This made everyone confused.
“Could it be… someone jumping level?” Many mecha operators thought about this possibility. This could only be the only reason why the full potential of the god-class technique couldn’t be shown. The operator hadn’t reached that level of power yet.
By now, all the mecha operators started to respect the operator of [Belief]. Jumping levels in mecha piloting was the same as committing suicide. If you jumped levels below ace, you might still be saved by the skillful doctors of the Federation. However, from the imperial level onwards, jumping levels was the same as seeking death. With the current medical skills of the Federation, no one could save them. The people the jumped levels at this stage would have to lie in the healing pods for the rest of their lives. They wouldn’t be able to stand up again. What’s more, this was a god-class mecha that imperial operator was operating. That imperial operator must be using his life to defend the base.
[Belief] fought alone. Among the numerous enemy mechas, it stood at its position firmly without taking any steps back. The citizens of the Federation started to worry about the operator. They wondered how long the operator could last.
As time passed by, [Belief]’s actions got slower and slower. The heart of all the citizens tightened in fear.
They knew that the operator had reached his limit. The citizens were unable to control their emotions anymore and started shouting, “Where are the reinforcements?”
“Yes, where are the reinforcements?”
“Why haven’t they arrive after so long?”
“What on earth are they doing?”
“[Belief] is not able to handle it any longer.”
“Are we supposed to let our hero sacrifice like this?”
“No.”
“Never!”
“Let the military give us a reply!”
“Let the three great marshals give us a reply!”
The angry shouts by the citizens were heard by the military through various channels. All the workers that were handling the broadcast got frightened by the anger and unhappiness shown by the citizens. Cold sweat was dripping from their foreheads. They didn’t dare to waste any time and quickly reported this to their superiors. Then, they waited for their reply.
In the military, the Third Marshal was furious about the appearance of [Belief].
He slammed the table in front of him. “That bastard Ling Xiao caused such a huge mess for us this time. Inform the two other marshals. I would like to request for an emergency meeting.”
Soon, he received replies from the First Marshal and the Second Marshal. Both of them agreed with the meeting. All the ten great generals of the Federation, whether they had retired or not, were invited to the meeting too.
On Planet Southcrest, Ling Xiao saw [Belief] appearing on the screen and frowned. He was worried. Ling Xiao knew that based on the current situation on Planet Haijiao, his daughter would definitely have to use the amulet he gave her. However, when he saw her using it, he still got agitated.
‘I hope Qi Yaoyang can reinforce them in time!’ Ling Xiao clenched his fists uncontrollably. For the first time, he hated his status as a god-class operator. If it wasn’t for this status, he would be the one leading the reinforcements over. He wouldn’t have to wait for news about the state of his own daughter on Planet Southcrest.
His communicator suddenly vibrated. He looked at it and smiled, but his smile this time was cold and sinister.
It was the invitation to the highest-level emergency meeting in the military. Ling Xiao knew what this meeting was for. The gentle aura around him was gone. His entire force of presence was cold, similar to Ling Lan’s force of presence.
This meeting was held in the virtual world. The three great marshals and the ten great generals were on different planets so they couldn’t meet each other personally in the real world within a short period of time.
Ling Xiao entered the virtual world and appeared in his seat through a special passageway.
There were 13 seats in total. These seats were for the 13 most powerful people in the military. They were the three great marshals as well as the ten great generals.
“Ling Xiao, we’ve been waiting for you. Please explain why your mecha has appeared on Planet Haijiao.” The Third Marshal controlled his anger when he saw Ling Xiao and questioned him as soon as he saw him.
“When Ling Lan went on his mission to Planet Haijiao, my instincts told me that it would be a dangerous mission. So, after contemplating for a long time, I decided to pass [Belief] to Ling Lan.” Ling Xiao replied calmly, “All god-class operators have the ability to foresee danger. This ability helped me to come back alive numerous times.”
The other generals nodded at Ling Xiao’s words. They were not a god-class operator but they knew that the more powerful they get, the stronger their ability to foresee danger.
“Even if that’s the case, you still can’t let your son enter the battlefield with a god-class mecha. This is breaking the rules of the Human United Agreement. The Federation will be condemned by the entire United Nations. This might even cause the 29th Intergalactic War.” The Third Marshal shouted angrily, “You’ll be the sinner of the Federation. You’ll the sinner of the entire human race.”
“Marshal Yang, that accusation is pretty heavy. I can’t bear it.” Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows. ” I would like to ask what part of the agreement did I break?”
“The Human United Agreement states that any operators higher than the ace level cannot appear on the battlefield. God-class operators are not allowed to leave their countries…” The Third Marshal stopped talking suddenly. He turned and ordered his adjutant, “Pass me the details of the Human United Agreement.”
