Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'

"The task is simple. I want you to go to the 18th Star Domain, where historically, few have been able to set foot, and your father is one of them. But be cautious, as it’s the Absolute Forbidden Zone of the Alliance Government, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering. As long as you can go in silently and bring back something as proof, the task is considered completed."

The Moon Emperor directly gave Icaroya an epic-level task as a graduation assessment.

"Yes!"

Icaroya accepted the task without a hint of hesitation, then turned and left without delay.

As she stepped out of the office door, she suddenly bumped into the Star Emperor.

"Star Emperor."

Icaroya greeted briefly and left without stopping.

The Star Emperor watched Icaroya’s departing figure with a hint of complexity on her face, and then she walked into the office.

"Sister, are you sure about this? That’s a restricted area."

The Star Emperor had arrived earlier but didn’t enter to interrupt upon hearing the Moon Emperor and Icaroya talking.

"So what if it’s restricted?"

The Moon Emperor retorted without any hesitation.

"But what if...?"

The Star Emperor replied hesitantly.

"There’s no ’what if.’ I raised Icaroya myself, I trust she can handle it. Even if something goes wrong, I’ll take responsibility."

The Moon Emperor’s stance remained resolute.

The Star Emperor sighed slightly but said no more.

...

World New Era·110th Year.

In Longyue City, the sky thundered and crackled, with torrential rain pouring down.

At this moment, a streak of light pierced through the thick clouds, landing straight on the Central Square of the Imperial Palace, creating a massive crater.

Instantly alerting the defending troops, one Guardian Mecha after another hurried over.

Only to find that the intruder was the Giant God Soldier, carrying a gigantic closed metal box on its back.

"Lord Icaroya?"

The lead Guard Captain slightly paused before asking.

"Stand down!"

Icaroya coldly commanded.

Immediately, the gathered guards receded.

Icaroya piloted the Mecha straight to the depths of the Imperial Palace, soon arriving in a deserted and silent area.

She waited quietly there.

It wasn’t long before the Moon Emperor appeared, walking towards Icaroya, followed by the Star Emperor, who held a blue umbrella over her.

Upon seeing the Giant God Soldier carrying the enormous mechanical box, the Star Emperor was taken aback, while the cold eyes of the Moon Emperor revealed a trace of excitement.

At this moment, Icaroya operated the Giant God Soldier, unloading the gigantic mechanical box from her back, slamming it onto the solid ground, which sunk under the weight.

Then the cockpit of the Giant God Soldier opened, and Icaroya jumped out.

The Moon Emperor and Star Emperor also stepped down.

Icaroya bowed to the Moon Emperor and Star Emperor and said, "I have been to the 18th Star Domain."

"You actually went in?"

Even though the Star Emperor had been prepared, hearing Icaroya say it personally left her deeply shocked.

"Yes, but the 18th Star Domain was empty, nothing at all! I wandered inside for months without finding anything to bring back. To prove that I was there, I brought something from the 17th Star Domain."

Icaroya explained calmly.

"What thing?"

The Moon Emperor asked coldly.

Icaroya turned to face the gigantic mechanical box, reached out and pressed a button.

Click!

One side of the gigantic mechanical box slowly lifted, exposing the contents inside.

Seeing what was inside the box, the Moon Emperor’s usually cold face showed rare emotional fluctuations.

The Star Emperor was utterly astonished, blurting out.

"Isn’t this the remains of Harudis, the ancestor of the Insect Race? How did you manage to bring it out?"

"The 18th Star Domain had nothing, so I had no choice but to bring something most representative from the 17th Star Domain."

Icaroya replied expressionlessly.

The Star Emperor showed intense concern, saying.

"Icaroya, you’ve caused trouble, a great deal of trouble. Harudis is the old ancestor of the Insect Race, and we have an agreement with them. You’ve dug up their ancestor’s remains..."

"Enough!"

The Moon Emperor abruptly interrupted the Star Emperor.

"But sister, this matter is extremely serious. If the Alliance Government were to find out, the consequences could be unimaginable."

The Star Emperor anxiously explained the severity of the situation.

Unfortunately, the Moon Emperor remained indifferent, coldly asserting, "So what if it’s been dug up? What’s the big deal as long as it doesn’t get out? Even if something comes up, I’ll handle it."

The Star Emperor was momentarily speechless, unsure of what to say.

The Moon Emperor then approached Icaroya, placing a hand on her shoulder and proudly said.

"From today onward, you are out of apprenticeship. I have nothing left to teach you; strategy, combat, intrigue, life-and-death duels, you’ve learned them all. Your future achievements won’t be less than your brother’s."

Listening to the Moon Emperor, Icaroya’s expression subtly changed. She hesitated and asked.

"Master, can I surpass my father?"

Upon hearing Icaroya’s question, the Moon Emperor rarely fell silent, eventually saying.

"I can only say there’s hope. Reaching your father’s level is sometimes not just about effort."

Upon hearing this, Icaroya lowered her head.

The Star Emperor wanted to comfort Icaroya, but at this moment, Icaroya raised her head, her eyes resolute, saying.

"Maybe not now, but one day, I surely will!"

"Good! As expected of my pupil!"

The Moon Emperor felt even more affirmed and fond of Icaroya’s words.

The Star Emperor sighed quietly, her eyes revealing a hint of worry; she couldn’t tell if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

.....

Divine Concealment Star.

Inside an exquisite wooden house came a voice of reprimand.

In the yard, the silver executor Alien·Shasra perked his ears to listen for a moment, then silently jumped out of the courtyard, decisively keeping his distance.

Inside, Bellosa advised Icaroya.

"How old are you now? Stop running to the battlefield and find a partner."

Icaroya frowned slightly, responding to Bellosa.

"Mother, life’s meaning isn’t just that. I have my ideas, you don’t need to worry."

"What do you mean I don’t need to worry?"

Bellosa instantly got a bit angry.

"Alright, alright, don’t be angry, the daughter rarely comes back, why make a fuss."

Icarus quickly tried to calm her down.

"You have the nerve to speak, the daughter can’t get married, it’s all your fault!"

Bellosa angrily redirected the blame to Icarus.

"Huh? How is it my fault?"

Icarus was utterly confused.

"You insisted on letting the Moon Emperor teach our daughter. I always felt it was inappropriate, strongly opposed it! But you insisted, and now look, what’s become of our daughter’s personality? Who would dare be with her?"

Bellosa relentlessly reproached Icarus.

"Well, um... I didn’t think much at the time. But the Moon Emperor’s teachings weren’t too bad, surely there are young suitors around."

Icarus replied softly.

"Who dares? Your daughter is infamous in the Alliance Government; who would dare? Tell me?"

Bellosa bluntly questioned.
