Chapter 1966 - 1553: Memories 4
The Moon Emperor saw that things were finished being discussed and was about to turn and leave. Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks, turned her head, and looked at Icarus.
"Honestly, if I hadn’t watched Goli grow up, I would’ve even suspected that I was holding the wrong child."
The crowd was slightly startled and then all turned their heads to look at Icarus.
"Uh...."
Icarus was also at a loss, completely caught off guard.
....
Several days later
White Moon Starfall Empire · Longyue Star.
Icaroya followed the Moon Emperor, walking through the cold metal corridor.
Soldiers along the way all knelt on one knee, bowing their heads, not daring to look directly at the Moon Emperor.
The Moon Emperor led Icaroya deep within, entering a huge metal laboratory.
Numerous precious and large experimental equipment were arranged, and researchers dressed in white coats were quietly waiting.
"What is this?"
"This is the biological laboratory for the Hero Revival Plan, also the forbidden laboratory of the White Moon Starfall Empire. Successive Empresses of the White Moon Starfall Empire conducted life-and-death training here; those who endured survived, the failures died!"
The Moon Emperor’s voice was icy cold without a trace of emotion.
Upon hearing the Moon Emperor’s words, Icaroya felt not the slightest fear; her eyes became more resolute, and she replied without hesitation.
"I am willing to accept any training, even unto death, I will not retreat!"
"Good!"
The Moon Emperor gazed at Icaroya, at that moment realizing how much Icaroya resembled herself.
.....
World New Era · 100 years!
Kabozui Star Sea.
Fully armed battleships occupied crucial areas of the entire star sea.
At the center of the star sea, on a giant suitable star, corpses of grotesque monsters covered in scales were everywhere, thick blood soaking the entire land.
The VI generation Biological Mecha · Giant God Soldier stood tall amidst the sea of corpses, its cockpit door open.
At this moment, Icaroya, clad in bio armor, stood atop the pile of corpses, gazing into the distance, her face exceedingly stern.
Just then, a young man with a steady and stern demeanor walked over, respectfully reporting to Icaroya.
"This area has been completely occupied, all unstable factors have been eliminated."
"Well done!"
"However, Lord Icaroya, is it fitting for us to do this? With everything eliminated, if the inspectors from the Cosmic Alliance Government find out, they’ll certainly accuse you again."
"Hmph, are you afraid, Crock?"
"No!"
"Then don’t worry about these matters, order Kelas to prepare to evacuate, and hand over the star sea to the Alliance Government. Tell them that the war the White Moon Starfall Empire was responsible for is finished, and if anyone has an issue, let them come to me."
Icaroya finished speaking, turned, and walked towards the mecha.
....
Positive Universe · First Star Domain · Divine Creation Star.
In the vast Divine Creation City, festive lanterns were everywhere, luxurious red carpets laid out on the ground.
Above the city, not only were there advertisements for the celebration, but one could see the passionate speech of the Cosmic Alliance Council President · Colimy, and the gentle and elegant Rabavis · Radiance quietly standing behind him.
"The Cosmic Alliance has been established for 100 years now; during these years, we have not only coexisted peacefully with the Insect Race, Aliens, and the Alien Clan, but have also fought side by side to explore untouched star seas. Currently, the Cosmic Alliance Government has occupied over seventy-one uninhabited star seas in the external universe, forming alliances with thousands of friendly races. The future of our Cosmic Alliance is filled with light..."
....
On the streets, walking citizens chatted and laughed merrily.
"Recently, the alliance has been developing better and better."
"Indeed, the future is promising."
....
At this time, the center of Divine Creation City · Cosmic Alliance Government Building was exceptionally lively.
To celebrate the Cosmic Alliance Government’s 100th Anniversary, many war generals and NCOs working outside were called back.
The Alien Clan Leader, Insect Race Clan Leader, and the Alien Clan Leader attended the grand celebrations, chatting with Colimy and others in the banquet hall.
Outside the administrative building, to cater to the festive atmosphere, a specifically set-up combat arena was established for all returning NCOs and generals to spar.
Countless young talents and veteran generals of the Alliance Government gathered there, even several senior generals were present.
At that moment, a wave of enthusiastic cheers erupted.
"Great! Great!"
A visibly muscular and burly general was thrown heavily to the ground, grimacing as he struggled to rise.
The winner was a handsome, arrogant blond young man, who shouted at the crowd present arrogantly.
"Who else!"
"Anyone else want to come up and spar with me?"
....
"Lord Kekaya is formidable! I never thought his brawling skills were this good; I had only heard of his invincibility on the battlefield, seeing him today proves he’s indeed incredible!"
"He is, indeed, just look at who he is; he’s the son of Council President Colimy · Divine Radiance. Let me tell you, Lord Colimy is of warrior origin, there’s a saying that’s quite fitting, like father, like son!"
"Makes sense, but how did Lord Colimy, of warrior origin, become Council President?"
The spectating NCOs discussed among themselves.
"Isn’t it great that he’s adept at both civil and military affairs? Look at how the Alliance Government has flourished under his leadership."
"Uh, makes sense."
....
Amid the onlookers of numerous noble offspring and NCOs, they all responded collectively.
In fact, Colimy’s political talents could only be considered average, it was mostly Rabavis · Radiance’s tutoring that brought it about. But the position of Alliance Council President could only be filled by him, after all, most people submitted to the surname Divine Radiance.
Just then, a fiery-tempered NCO, somewhat discontented, shouted.
"Kekaya, don’t be so arrogant; you’re quite formidable, but among the younger generation, you’re not invincible, this wouldn’t be the case if Brother Ikarone were here; he’d take you down in minutes!"
"Rubbish, back when I fought him, I had diarrhea the night before and was a bit weak, letting him take advantage of the situation. Why don’t you tell him to come up now? See if I don’t knock him flat!"
Kekaya · Divine Radiance retorted, unyielding.
"That’s nonsense; Ikarone is still on the front line."
"That’s not my problem; anyway, today I stand here, and no one is effective against me."
Kekaya · Divine Radiance said proudly.
Just then, a figure placed a hand on the edge of the arena, elegantly flipping onto the stage.
Everyone present was taken aback.
Kekaya was also momentarily flustered; upon closer inspection, the person on stage was none other than Icaroya!
"I say, Sister Icaroya, I don’t fight with women, you should get down. Later, let your brother come fight with me."
Icaroya coldly replied.
"Stop wasting words!"
Before Kekaya could speak, Icaroya took a step forward, sending a punch with a whistling sound toward him.
Kekaya raised his hand to block!
Bang!
He felt severe pain through his entire arm, involuntarily stepping back.
