Chapter 163: Superior Halo (2/2)

Seis the signals "The Clear Signal is a good sign But it's their arrange green lights that the Bugs for?"

"A halo Superior Halo," said Seisereen shapes marked out a halo that phased in and out of visibility

What a Superior Halo indicated was the inco appearance of a S class hero Aldrich had seen it on the news, in videos There was nobody that had not It was a sy that proo away soon

Even the reason that the halo was green, norardless of whether there was an active threat or not, an S rank hero would guarantee the dawning of safety

In the background of the sky, Aldrich's stor over the Superior Halo as it too made its way towards the Red Circle

"You don't seem too surprised," said Seismic

"I knew they would send heroes here," said Aldrich "Heroes to take me and my forces into custody"

"You're prepared for that"

"I am What I did not expect was that they would send a S-rank hero here," said Aldrich "The fighting is over They shouldn't be expecting any threats fro that warrants that level of firepower"

"Pretty…" Okeanosright at the halo

Aldrich looked to Okeanos, then at Seis a threat from me From my forces"

"Yes," said Seismic simply

"A threat worthy of a S rank hero, then, is it?" Aldrich, underneath his helm, smiled "I'm quite flattered, to be honest But I'ht Okeanos-,"

"Yes?" said Okeanos as his antennae perked up

Aldrich pointed away from the Superior Halo, towards the southern skies where Crow's h the air

"Follo," said Aldrich "If you lose track of your directions, Valera will guide you"

"I leave you…so soon?" said Okeanos

"I won't be gone long," said Aldrich "Now go"

Okeanos nodded and sprinted off, sh-speed movement Aldrich was now nearly fully without protection He had sent off er units into the Nexus as the AA could reliably scan for strong variant signatures or giant beings And he had sent off his huht now, he was alion Necroh his personal strength was nothing to scoff at, especially now that he had the [Frosthallowed War Scythe] as part of his gear, he could not co a S class hero, especially if their poere geared for coht He wanted to negotiate And, as for as the AA and the rest of the world was concerned, they had no way of knohere Aldrich's forces would be once they were in the Nexus They had no idea whether he had a power to conceal them, whether he could suone

And that uncertainty would e he could do if they wronged him It would make them listen to him

In other words, this was not only a way to make sure that none of his forces were harmed, but it was also a massive bluff

"You sent the Locus away," said Seismic "What about ht to your words I'll trust you'll use the to the shelters"

"Shelters?" asked Seismic "For what purpose?"

Aldrich pointed at the Superior Halo "To et rid of me"
