Chapter 1123 - Encounter and Reunion (1/2)

“Her Highness Lydia’s attack is so magnificent…”

Gazing at this scene, Mini Bubble Gum gasped in admiration. Canary stood beside her, lifted her head, and gazed at the starry sky.

“Yea, powerful and magnificent as always… That’s Her Royal Highness Lydia for you…”

“… Alright, you two can stop escaping reality now.”

Although Rhode criticized them, his expression was equally as ashen as theirs. The reason was simple. Right in front of them, a 300-kilometers-wide hole had opened up on the somewhat flat moon’s surface. The entire headquarters of the Americas Region was uprooted, not to mention the Chaos Nest. They turned into ashes without leaving behind any traces. Rhode wanted Lydia to go all out on her attack, but this was… forget it. It was still better than her destroying the entire moon.

This matter has blown up. Looks like we’ll have some troubles ahead.

At this thought, Rhode held his forehead and sighed. He was sure that this attack from Lydia would definitely be witnessed by several organizations on the earth and moon. Well… their reactions had nothing to do with him though. As of now, the headquarters was destroyed, the Chaos Nest was eliminated, and the last piece of slate was taken to Earth by someone. It became a really bothersome matter now. It seemed like it might be necessary for them to travel to Earth, but just how should they do it? Surely Rhode wouldn’t be experimenting with wrapping himself in spiritual powers before bursting through the atmosphere like what he thought, right?

“———!”

All of a sudden, a series of bright radiances flashed ahead. The group turned toward the flashes and suddenly, another two to three flares were released continuously.

“What is that, Your Majesty Rhode?”

Lydia flapped her wings toward him and asked curiously.

“It seems like someone is sending a signal… We…”

Before Rhode finished his sentence, another bright light erupted from the same location. This time, it didn’t shine from above, but shot out from the surface instead. The white brilliance streaked across the sky and formed a symbol. Upon seeing the symbol, Rhode narrowed his eyes.

“Seems to be looking for us, Leader.”

Gazing at the symbol hovering in the sky, Mini Bubble Gum curled her lips. Rhode couldn’t be more familiar with what was displayed before them—a pure white, cross-shaped star. It was the emblem of Starlight Guild. Considering their current situation, it was apparent that this wasn’t a coincidence the other party sent out this signal.

“Let’s check it out.”

Following the direction of the light, Rhode’s group arrived at a crater and saw the location from where the light emanated from in the distance. It was a moon exploration vehicle, but seemed very much in terrible condition. The vehicle that should have been flat on the sides and roof was now covered in bumps and holes. The glass of the observation cabin was also smashed into a tragic sight. Fortunately, the quality of the vehicle was great enough that a tragedy was avoided.

There were five to six fully-armored soldiers surrounding the moon exploration vehicle. Upon witnessing the arrival of Rhode’s group, they couldn’t help but take a few steps back and reveal fear in their eyes as soon as they saw Lydia. It was already bizarre that a human didn’t need protective gear to roam freely on the moon. But now, after witnessing the entire battle between Rhode’s group and the Chaos Nest through the surveillance cameras, and especially that final attack from Lydia, the soldiers were scared stiff. If Erin’s attack on the Americas Region in her dragon form was still within the acceptable range, this huge blast from Lydia comparable to the impact of a meteorite went completely beyond their expectations. No one expected this slender young lady to possess that much power. At this moment, Lydia was though a human-shaped, walking nuclear warhead in their eyes.

If it weren’t for their superior who strictly ordered them to not act recklessly, perhaps they would have already raised and aimed their weapon at the beautiful young lady who looked like an angel. After all, it would be impossible for them to not feel nervous as a mighty threat walked toward them.

On the other hand, Lydia sized up the armored soldiers curiously. It was apparent that she was amused by their fully-enclosed nano armors.

“Your Majesty Rhode, their costume looks interesting. They’re thin and yet, seem surprisingly tough. How exactly are they made? Are they forged from some sort of special ores?”

“Maybe, but I’m not too sure either… this isn’t my profession, after all.”

Rhode was being truthful as he didn’t take the nanoengineering course in university… Moreover, such military secrets weren’t easily accessible by an ordinary man like him.

The door opened gradually and this time, he entered without any hesitation. After all, he had already recognized their identities from the emblem of the soldiers’ uniform. Since that was the case, Rhode didn’t mind having a chat with them. Of course, he had to be cautious. Even though he didn’t know how they obtained information about him, nothing good would come out of a discussion at this juncture. But…

When Rhode met the people in front of him, he was rooted to the spot.

Canary and Mini Bubble Gum stood before him, gazing at him in disbelief. If it weren’t for their spacesuits, Rhode would have believed that he was looking at a mirror. Not only that, but he was also stunned when he shifted his gaze to the lazy-looking young lady at the side.

“Senior Heart?”

“Long time no see, Rhode. It seems like you’re indeed that Rhode we know.”

Upon hearing Rhode’s query, Orchid Heart stretched out her hand and waved at him with a complete lack of enthusiasm. At this moment, Canary and Mini Bubble Gum looked at him with complicated gazes. This wasn’t as simple as a reunion because he also brought along two young ladies who looked exactly like them…

“Tsk, they’re nothing more than fakes… no big deal.”
