Chapter 1271: Chapter 510: Mecha Cleaner 4

"It doesn’t seem like preparation for an attack, nor does it seem like a precursor to domain expansion... It’s more like some kind of... watchfulness?"

Uther glanced thoughtfully at Ron.

"Perhaps," he slowly began:

"We should proceed with the transmission arrangements according to standard procedure.

If Nari is truly waiting for something, it may be safer to meet her expectations than to forcibly defend."

The three captains exchanged a glance.

Although this suggestion sounded somewhat risky, under the current circumstances, it seemed to be the only reasonable choice.

After all, if Nari truly harbors hostility, no defensive measures would be of any use.

......

An hour later, the reinforced submersion device slowly left the platform.

Besides Ron, there were also three other researchers onboard, headed to different Otherworld bases.

They were all seasoned scholars, but faced with the current abnormal situation, each wore a clear expression of tension.

The pilot of the submersion device was a veteran Abyss Guide who had worked this route for over twenty years.

Yet even he had never encountered such a special situation—undertaking a submersion mission under the gaze of the Overlord Apostle.

As the device crossed the fourth layer boundary, everyone felt an immense and profound wave of consciousness:

Nari’s gigantic form hung in the darkness like a nebula, countless tentacles casually extending, resembling the most beautiful jellyfish in the deep sea.

Her sheer size rendered the submersion device before her like a miniscule speck of dust.

When the submersion device passed by her side, Nari did not make any threatening moves.

She merely gazed silently at the tiny vessel, as if quietly blessing someone inside.

Through the observation window, Ron met those countless eyes, a warm current surging in his heart.

In that brief moment, he heard her gentle words:

"Go, my child. No matter how long you’re gone, I’ll wait for you to come home."

A slender tentacle lightly brushed against the submersion device, as gentle as a mother tidying a child’s clothes.

The contact with the tentacle caused no damage.

On the contrary, the shield became more stable under this contact, with significantly enhanced anti-interference capabilities.

This was Nari’s final blessing for this journey.

When the submersion device completely disappeared, Nari slowly turned and swam deeper into the Abyss.

......

In the observation station’s control room, all monitoring equipment showed the same results:

"Energy fluctuation has decreased to within standard range."

"The Overlord Apostle ’Eye of the Abyss’ Nari has returned to the core realm of the fifth layer."

"Threat level reduced to green—no abnormal status."

The three captains almost simultaneously let out a long sigh of relief, their tense nerves finally relaxing.

Lewis wearily rubbed his temples:

"Seems like Lecturer Ralph’s judgment was correct."

Magda’s mechanical arm stopped its high-speed calculations, emitting a faint cooling sound:

"The emotional complexity of the Innate Apostle far exceeds our understanding. Simply perceiving it as a threat source may indeed be a cognitive limitation."

Balthazar laughed gruffly:

"Ha! Who would’ve thought that Nari, who made the entire fifth layer tremble, had such a... gentle side."

Uther looked at the Abyss monitoring screen, which had returned to calm, revealing a knowing smile.

As Ron’s Master, he understood this young man’s uniqueness better than anyone.
