Chapter 2407

2407 - The Outcast Son

Middle Sector 115—

"……" Helmor halted midway between several planets and began examining the contents of a recording transmission crystal.

Then *crunch* he crushed it, without showing any expression on his face.

But that simple motion did not go unnoticed…

"Hahahahaha!!" Not far away, Kiryān the Conqueror began to laugh, "Haaaaaahahahaha"

"You laugh as if you were the one who killed Darvion." Helmor spoke sharply and seriously, "As if you've forgotten the fact that I've reached the final quarter of your galaxy and yet you still flee from me like a rat."

"Hahahahahaha!!" Kiryān placed both hands on his stomach from laughing so hard.

"Kiryān!!!" Helmor took a step forward, anger appearing on his features, "Your fate is already sealed in my eyes—don't make it worse!"

"Ha.. hahaha.." Kiryān's laughter slowed, "How does it feel now that Lord Robin has chosen the only useful member of your Destra family and made him his subordinate?" Then he resumed laughing, "How does it feel, haha, that your son has become stronger than you, hahaha!!"

"...." Helmor's eyes, glowing ruby red, flared with anger, but he did not attempt to chase Kiryān, knowing the pursuit would end as it always did... the scoundrel would use his abilities as a Royal Soul Master with Ten Stars to escape to an inner ring, then attack him with planets.

So he composed himself and showed a small smile, "Robin Burton took one of my defective Soliders, that's all. Killing Darvion can be attributed to me, for I trained the boy."

"My friend, you can't even defeat me, how do you speak of training someone who kills a Behemoth?" Kiryān shook his head, "If I were you, I'd flee before my son comes and beats me senseless in a live broadcast—then I'd die of shame before dying of pain."

"Flee?" Helmor raised his head proudly and began advancing slowly with his hands behind his back, "Clearly you're delirious."

*Whoosh*

At that moment, something like a meteor came from the direction of the Heart of the galaxy, its color red-orange like a giant ball of Flame, moving with tremendous speed and even greater force.

Immediately, Helmor knew this was no ordinary meteor... rather, it looked like a projectile?

*BOOM*

The meteor struck one of Helmor's sons, forcing him to stand and brace against it.

"...Is this an attack from the Note of Supremacy-4?" Helmor furrowed his brows.

He had always studied his enemies and allies well, and an innovation like the legendary Note vehicle series certainly had not escaped his notice!

*Whoosh* *Whoosh* *Whoosh*

Three new shots came—lightning, ice, and a corrosion cloud—each one aimed at one of Helmor's sons, moving where they moved and accelerating where they stood.

Then they emerged from within the galaxy... dozens of Note of Supremacy-4 vehicles, followed by a number of Note of Destruction-4 and Note of the Flood-4 vehicles, along with a number of Phantom Shadow vehicles!

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

"Reinforcements have arrrrrived!!"

Kiryān's disciples and his army began raising their voices in cheers; they had all heard the news of what happened with Lady Renara and Lord Hedrick, and they had all heard that they were now allies of Lord Robin... but only now was the information confirmed with the arrival of the Note fleets!

The state of enthusiasm and excitement made the soldiers sweat, and some of them began to tear up... after the defenses had reached the final quarter of the galaxy, this was the best sight they could see!

But none of them asked the important question...

"How?" Helmor spoke seriously. "How did the Note fleets arrive here fully equipped and supplied? It's impossible that they came from 114 or 116, or that they were hiding—that's absolutely impossible!"

"Hahahahaha!!!" Kiryān burst into loud laughter again as the fleets drew closer to them.

Helmor was about to raise his voice, then seemed to understand something and raised his eyebrows. "The state of Cosmic Rejection I sensed in the Heart of the Galaxy moments ago... Spacetime?!" He then took two steps forward. "Robin Burton can use Spacetime to this level?!"

"Haha, wait and see for yourself—Lord Hedrick and Lady Renara are emerging from the Heart of the Galaxy as well!" Kiryān didn't deny it, but merely painted a picture with his words.

The image pierced Helmor's mind and forced him to gaze into the galaxy's interior for a few seconds.

Then he turned and issued his orders. "We'll fall back to the fortified middle region for now to rearrange our plans."

"At once!"

"Khaaaaaahahahaha"

Middle Sector 102 – Half a day later

"Hoo~" Hedrick let out a long exhale with his eyes closed.

Then he opened them with a faint smile, gazing toward the sky while seated atop the palace of Darvion the Accursed...

The remaining fleets of Darvion's followers lost all hope the moment he joined the fight—some fled, and the rest surrendered. They were led to the nearby planets, everyone on them was taken as prisoners, and the vessels were seized as spoils of war.

Then came the turn to sweep the galaxy's planets one by one, destroy every cursed array, and free all citizens from their cells... It was time to turn this galaxy into a place worthy of them.

Fortunately, the Fast Support Vehicles were packed to the brim with the Imperial Guard, and this would be their game—he couldn't have asked for better.

"How is the Behemoth Kiryān?" Hedrick asked. "All our territories and allies from Mid Sector 101 upward are my responsibility, and Kiryān is one of them—he must not fall."

"In response to my Lord Hedrick," the Shadow Sword beside him bowed slightly, "reinforcements reached him, and the war has stopped for the first time in months. The attackers withdrew to the middle of the galaxy, and a ceasefire is in effect for now."

"Oh?" Hedrick raised an eyebrow. "...Helmor withdrew?" Then he smiled. "Interesting."

"Do you want me to bring you anything, Lord?" the Shadow Sword asked.

"Has the team of Soul Masters who are supposed to help me polish the Planet Spirit arrived?" Hedrick asked.

He had polished a fragment before—if he tried to polish another planet, it would be dangerous for him. So what about an entire galaxy, including everything in it? Some help would be necessary...

That is why two teams are supposedly assigned to assist Hedrick and Renara with refinement, and they will remain by their side until success!

"Twenty Royal Soul Masters are waiting for you now in the Throne Hall, Lord." Shadow Sword nodded.

"…." Hedrick nodded, then stood up and flew downward, "Let Helmor wait, then."
