294 Ascen (2/2)

Ace sighed after remembering his conversation with Wallace. Unfortunately, the man was still busy with some things but he told him that it was all for the sake of the future.

Ace could only accept but he didn't forget to tell him the pressing matter in his mind.

”What? They're already near?” Wallace exclaimed after hearing the incoming spacecraft hiding under the cover of an asteroid.

”Yes! However, their numbers were small and we're thinking that it was only a vanguard or probably mapping out this galaxy. I'm sure that the planet was still undiscoverable by normal means.”

”Mhm... Is it due to recent attempts of a Celestial Being? I heard that one of the problematic ones attempted to destroy the moon but was ultimately impeded by another force covering this planet. It looks like there wasn't a problem, but this might have been a side effect... perhaps?”

”Maybe... But I still think that the empire sent a huge number of scout ships to find this planet around this star system... I don't think it's just a simple coincidence.”

”Very well... Deal with it however you want. You already have enough power to do so... Is that right?”

”I think so...”

”Good... I just contacted you since there's no longer a Celestial Being guarding me... I think he's about to return so I'll the conversation now...”

”Celestial Being?”

”Yes... I'm with Sir Aeolia and Master Slaine. Also, please tell Senior Lacus that our master was doing very well... Alright, I need to hang up now--”

That was the end of their conversation, it didn't even last for five minutes.

At the very least, the message was clear. Wallace was doing incredible things with Aeolia and his Master that would be needed for the sake of the future... It seems to even involve the Celestial Beings which was really incredible if one thinks about it.

”It seems that he's doing well... Wait-- Aeolia? He's really in the northern continent?”

Ace was stunned after realizing Wallace's situation.

He didn't know where Wallace found this Aeolia but based on his tone, it seems that it wasn't just someone with a similar name but actually the real deal.

Ace shakes his head at this. He wanted to ask for more things but he needed some things to be done. He already contacted the academy that he'll be out for a while and notified his parents that he'll be away for some time.

In any case, his business would continue as long as Avalon remains functioning.

It was almost time to visit outer space.

It has been a while since he had been in space so Ace was quite excited already.

Everything was now prepared and his plans to deal with the enemy were also settled...

He took a deep breath as he closed his eyes.

After a few moments, his eyes opened and determination can be seen on his gaze as he gave his instruction to Avalon.

”Commence Launch Sequence!”
