The Seventh Base

Arthur and Fernand, two Destroyer Level beings, were confronting each other, a terrifying energy aura enveloping the vast region, even the people on Asgard’s coast could feel the oppressive force.

Many people began to suspect that there might be serious issues within the Church.

If it were only Alon, it wouldn’t mean much; perhaps it was the O’Brian Republic framing the Church. However, after the O’Brian Republic mentioned the Angel Project with evidence, and the Church Archbishop stepped forward, directly pointing out that Lonco’s death was related to the Duffy Family, it did not seem like mere slander.

“Over the years, the Church’s goal has been to stir cosmic chaos. Several years ago, when His Holiness the Pope came out of seclusion, he spoke of the need for purification, implying that the current universe needed to be cleansed through war. Subsequently, the Church began to push for the formation of the Cosmic Federation.” Marvin shouted aloud, a strong sense of fear evident in his eyes, knowing he was finished.

“Indeed, the Cosmic Federation is a conspiracy; the Church’s goal was never to achieve galactic peace but to accelerate war. Saint Heir Naga has inherited His Holiness the Pope’s will. Killing Lonco was also to create chaos, thus pushing the O’Brian Republic and Kales Empire to fight relentlessly, achieving war-promoting objectives.” Sande also shouted.

A blinding light descended, Arthur’s face turned ashen, but Fernand remained standing in front of him, speaking, “Arthur, you suspect that Xu Mo and Gaia might threaten cosmic peace, thus implementing sanctions. So, with the actions of the Church, what should be done?”

He glanced around at the crowd, speaking loudly, “I propose that after the Cosmic Federation is established, the first step is to impose sanctions on the Church, all Star Domains, jointly cleansing the Church’s presence in them, preventing further anarchic expansion and infiltration among you, thereby ensuring your security.”

“Alon was only exposed due to this incident; there must be others undiscovered in O’Brian Republic, and presumably the same applies to everyone present. Since the Church has long since planned this, maybe their power has infiltrated your upper echelons. If the Church is not stopped, the future is unpredictable.”

If it were just a threat to the O’Brian Republic, these powers wouldn’t care much, but clearly, Fernand wanted to drag major forces down with them.

The people of Kales Empire wore the most unpleasant expressions; they had always collaborated with the Church, but the Kales Empire Prince wasn’t killed by their arch-enemy, the O’Brian Republic, but by an ally.

Such treacherous behavior stripped the Church of any credibility. Even if they continued the war against the O’Brian Republic and eventually won, decimating the Republic, they themselves would certainly be severely wounded.

Would the Church adhere to agreements and let them control the regions beyond Emperor River?

At this moment, doubts arose concerning their previously devised cooperative strategies.

“Transcendents with spiritual power can control people’s will, what Fernand did is indeed clever; he silently controlled our Church Archbishop.” At this, Saint Heir Naga spoke, “The creator of all things, the Church’s doctrine is to maintain the order of all things. Every Church believer pursues equality, freedom, beauty, and peace.”

Though actions were taken, some things must be vehemently denied, evidence notwithstanding.

“Stop pretending…”

Fernand loudly reprimanded, his voice resonating through the vast space, interrupting Saint Heir Naga’s words.

“If slogans were effective, there wouldn’t be a need to establish the Cosmic Federation!” Fernand continued, “For cosmic order and peace, my O’Brian Republic agrees to establish the Cosmic Federation, but until the Church’s actions are scrutinized, they must be prohibited from becoming a member of the Cosmic Federation. Furthermore, I propose the forces represented by Xu Mo and Gaia also join.”

“What qualifications do they have to become members of the Cosmic Federation?” Lin Xu of the Lin family sneered coldly; they held an inherent antipathy towards the descendants of His Majesty the Emperor.

“They haven’t even arrived yet, and want to join the Cosmic Federation?” The Destroyer of Saint Tiya Star chimed in.

“They have come.”

Fernand spoke, his words falling; above the sky, aboard a Starship, a group of figures appeared. Suddenly, countless gazes turned towards them as they descended onto the sea’s platform.

The leading figure was unmistakably Gaia.

Behind him stood Qiong.

“Qiong!”

Lin Xu’s gaze instantly locked onto Qiong, realizing the Destroyer following Gaia was him.

No mistake; Xu Mo bore the Lin bloodline, no wonder the Book of Enlightenment vanished from the Empire Trial Field years ago, with the Emperor’s descendants present, Lin Jian naturally couldn’t compete.

“The forces represented by Xu Mo and Mr. Gaia control the Skull Star Domain, with a technology team led by Star Ring. Their technological civilization will soon develop rapidly, and Xu Mo is also the first successor of the Mystic God Temple. They are entirely qualified to become members of the Cosmic Federation, even joining the Cosmic Federation Committee. Previously, the Church claimed they threatened cosmic order; Lin family and Saint Tiya Star initiated wars without claiming to threaten cosmic order; why perceive Xu Mo and his forces as threats to cosmic order?”

“Moreover, their becoming members of the Cosmic Federation Committee, jointly maintaining cosmic peace, naturally negates any threat to cosmic order.”

The opposition sought to utilize alliance advantages to establish the Cosmic Federation and control its committee to achieve cosmic domination; thus, they employed the same strategy against them, thoroughly muddying the waters.

Only thus could this cosmic meeting be disrupted.

“I believe what Mr. Fernand said makes a lot of sense. I agree with Skull Star Domain joining the Cosmic Federation and becoming a member of the Federation Committee,” the strong figure from the Heavenly God Race said aloud.

“We also agree,” the people from Coriade Star Domain said, making the forces such as the Church realize that these forces had indeed formed alliances in secret, which explains their smooth agreement to establish the Cosmic Federation.

They were waiting for them here.

First, they undermined the legitimacy of the Church and exposed its actions, then they pushed for Skull Star, led by Xu Mo and Gaia, to enter the fray, completely disrupting the situation.

If Skull Star Domain, represented by Xu Mo and Gaia, joins the committee and the Church is ousted, then the previous structure is broken.

Moreover, the Kales Empire and the Church, it seems are unlikely to be the same as before; at this point, the Kales Empire has certainly started suspecting the Church.

The situation suddenly changed, catching everyone off guard.

Thor of the Odin Family showed an amused expression; could it be that the situation is really going to be reversed today?

This is the first time Gaia has appeared in the public eye; back then, every major force went to capture him, but since he dared to appear this time, it’s clear he has confidence, as the O’Brian Republic, Heavenly God Race, and Coriade Star Domain have formed a temporary alliance.

They all understood one fact: if their opponent succeeded today, they would all be finished.

“Gaia.”

At this moment, the Destroyer of Saint Tiya Star looked at Gaia and said, “As far as I know, Gaia previously emerged from the Abyss, right?”

“That’s correct,” Arthur said coldly, “Whether Gaia colluded with Lin Shou remains unknown.”

“This brings us to another matter,” Fernand spoke up, “The Abyss is also one of the strongest forces in the Universe. I propose that the Abyss joins the Cosmic Federation and becomes a member of the Cosmic Federation Committee.”

Upon hearing Fernand’s words, countless people’s gazes froze. Clearly, the other party wasn’t joking.

Another heavy bombshell.

The O’Brian Republic is proposing the Abyss to join.

“The O’Brian Republic is becoming more and more outrageous,” the Lin Family snorted coldly.

“Today the Lin Family has its current status due to the rebellion of the traitors; since they could become members of the Cosmic Federation Committee, why not the Abyss?” Fernand retorted coldly, “You all claim the establishment of the Federation Committee is for cosmic order when previously, the Church, Kales Empire, Lin Family, and Saint Tiya Star all initiated invasive wars, no different from the Abyss, yet they initiated the Cosmic Federation. Since becoming committee members, similarly, the Abyss also qualifies. If the Abyss joins and becomes a member of the Cosmic Federation Committee, then all major forces will unite to maintain cosmic order, isn’t that in line with the original intention of forming the Cosmic Federation?”

While speaking, many people looked up towards the sky; starships were seen passing through the sky, heading in this direction.

The starships from other forces also took action; soon, a starship arrived in the sky above this area and hovered in the air. Afterward, a line of figures emerged from the starship, all wearing battle armor, fully armed, and descended downward.

“Abyss!”

Everyone’s heart was pounding; the O’Brian Republic had actually called for the Abyss as well.

The line of figures descended from the sky directly into this area, and the leading figure was none other than Satan, the leader of the Abyss’ twelve war generals. Next to him stood another person, whose skin was very pale, not very burly, at least he appeared thin compared to those around him, but his eyes were extremely bright, scanning the crowd as he spoke, “The meeting of cosmic forces, how could you forget our Abyss? As part of the Universe, we, the Abyss, also wish to jointly maintain cosmic order.”

With that, he smiled and said, “For the peace of the Universe.”

When he said this, he glanced towards the direction of the Church. This line was previously spoken by various forces, but this time from his mouth, it carried strong irony.

The establishment of the Cosmic Federation for cosmic peace is probably the nicest joke.

Here, who truly came for cosmic peace?

Only the weaker forces desire peace.

With the Abyss arriving, all the major top forces of the Universe are now present!
