Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1056 Silent Star and Pioneer!
"Sen, go up."

Okita Jusan withdrew his hand, glanced at the floor where the light circle was lit, exchanged glances with Demel, and then asked Mori Xue who had followed him to step forward.

"Alyssa. You go too!"

Demel turned around and looked at his wife.

Originally, Demel wanted to let his wife Alyssa stay in the Imperial Star Gamilas, but Gal Ditz suggested that Alyssa come with him on the grounds that Alyssa might be needed to act as a diplomat.

Right now, Gal Dietz's suggestion just happened to be in line with this.

Sen Xue and Alyssa walked forward together and came to the edge of the light circle.

"Second mate, please give your instructions."

Mori Xue asked.

"Sen, Mrs. Demel just needs to stand on the aperture."

The two women nodded and stood over as instructed.

The moment they entered the light circle, the light circle under their feet became brighter.

Then, He Ming once again extended his right hand to Leila Lei Lei Lu.

"Come here too!"

Leila Lei Lei Lu showed a trace of struggle, her mental fluctuations could not calm down.

"It is no longer possible for us to leave the shelter here and embark on a journey across the starry sea again."

He Ming's two invitations gradually made Leila Lei Lei Leilu feel a little moved.

But for a long time, living in seclusion in the depths of this silent star, isolated from the world, coupled with the outside world's fear and hatred of the Jirel people, has made Leila Lei Lei Lei Lu lose the courage to take another step forward.

He Ming, knowing this, nodded slightly.

"Even if you continue to stay here, your future will only end in destruction. So, why not muster up your courage and take a step forward. Perhaps the future is just ahead."

He Ming took half a step forward, closing the distance between him and Leila Lei Lei Lu, and put his right hand in front of Leila Lei Lei Lei Lu.

"Believe me! The future of the Jirel people is just ahead. In the future ahead, the Jirel people will no longer be hated by anyone, no longer be hostile to others, and will once again have the freedom to live under the blue sky."

"Believe in your future! Believe in me too!"

Leila Lei Leilu lowered her eyes and looked at He Ming's right hand. The mental fluctuations coming from He Ming were not fake at all.

Language, face, and even eyes can become tools to deceive others.

However, mental fluctuations will not.

"Will we still have tomorrow?"

Leila Lei Leilu raised her eyes and looked at He Ming.

And at this moment, she saw the golden light flashing in He Ming's eyes.

"I believe."

Those eyes filled with golden light responded to Leila Lei Lei Lu's heart.

Leila Lei Leilu took a step forward slowly, placed her right hand in He Ming's palm, moved her lips slightly, and spoke her name with her voice.

"Leila Lei Lei Lei Lu. That's my name."

"Introduce myself again. My name is He Ming."

Under the leadership of He Ming, Leila Lei Leilu stepped into the light circle and occupied one place each with Mori Xue and Alyssa, forming a triangle.

Then, at He Ming's signal, at the moment when Mori Xue, Alyssa and Leila Lei Lei Leilu held hands with each other, a bright vortex of light suddenly rose from the aperture, and in the next second, it increased from one to five, distributed in the four corners along the aperture pattern on the ground.

"This is?!"

Demel's expression changed.

"Don't worry. General Demel, this is just a revelation."

He Ming nodded to Demel, indicating that there was no danger to Alyssa, and continued speaking.

"Our origin, the time of cycle, the journey begins again, the race survives..."

The five vortices of light merged into one again, forming a dragon tornado that swept upwards. It continued to extend and directly touched the dome high above, sealing a certain device hidden above.

"In human form..."

"Cross the sea of ​​stars, cross the universe, touch the truth..."

The moment all the decipherable words were recited, the seal imposed on the Silent Star by the distant civilization was finally lifted.

The Silent Star, which has been silent for a long time, is about to embark on a new journey.

At the same time, the fleet staying in the outer orbit of the Silent Star saw an extremely spectacular scene.

The clouds shattered, and two huge whirlpools occupied the sky above the two poles of the planet. With their powerful force, they frantically stirred the clouds that had been silent for tens of millions of years, and also made the mysterious creations hidden deep in the clouds emerge one by one and appear in front of everyone.

"Is this the true face of the Silent Star?" Belfast looked at it and felt a little puzzled.

How can one bring something of this size home?

Even if Belfast fully activated its massive computing power, it would probably be difficult to fully calculate this existence, which is far larger than an ordinary star, in a short period of time, right?
"Don't worry! Belfast. This ark has its own power and can complete the rest of the journey. Come on over!"

At this moment, He Ming's communication saved Belfast from trouble in time.

"Yes, Admiral."

Belfast, who had just agreed, was suddenly stunned.

"Wait a moment, Admiral. Is this a ship?!"

"Yes. This is a ship. It's called the Star Patrol Ark. It can search for suitable planets in the vast universe, sow life, and help the first sprouts of civilization break out of their shells."

"A star patrolling ark? A planetary ship that seeded life?!"

Belfast's delicate face was gradually overwhelmed by shock.

In the quantum network of the Sea Mist Fleet, the space battleship that holds the record for the largest known volume is the satellite fortress belonging to the backbone fleet that King Kong once faced.

And right before our eyes, Belfast actually witnessed the moment when this record was broken.

Star Patrol's Ark.

A super starship built with a planet as its main body.

Although Belfast has not entered the starship in person to explore it, she can get a glimpse of the power of the star patrol arks in their heyday based on the arks that continue to break free from the ancient seals.

The MACROSS Belfast slowly descended and followed the instructions to enter the Star Patrol Ark. Okita Jusan and Demel also brought their men back to the airship and said goodbye to He Ming.

"It seems that this is the time for us to say goodbye, Second Mate."

Okita Jusan already knew that he and He Ming would be separated one day, but he never expected that the moment of separation would come so soon.

Okita Jusan also wanted to ask He Ming some advice on various issues related to reformers.

Now it seems that it may be difficult to do.

"Captain, in life, there will always be a time to say goodbye. But, don't be sad. The separation now is just a preparation for the next meeting."

Upon hearing this, Okita Jusan laughed and stood at attention and saluted.

"Well, see you on Earth! I will be ready on Earth to welcome the return of your great hero."

"Goodbye Earth!"

He Ming returned the gift, said goodbye to Sen Xue and others, and then looked towards Demel's side.

"As Captain Okita said, our separation came so quickly. We haven't had a good communication yet."

Demel took the initiative to step forward and extended his right hand to He Ming.

He Ming smiled slightly and shook hands with him.

"There will be a chance. Thank you for your help this time! I'll remember this favor!"

"Do not."

Demel shook his head, let go and took a step back, looking at He Ming seriously.

Afterwards, in the surprised eyes of He Ming, Okita Jusan and others, he led the people on Gamilas' side and knelt down in front of He Dan.

"Your Excellency need not do this. Compared to the favor you have bestowed upon Gamilas, this little thing is nothing."

"You? What are you doing?!"

He Ming was confused for a moment.

Why are Demel and his group of Gamilas people suddenly so grand?
He Ming believed that he had not had a deep communication with Gamilas, let alone given him any favors.

"Sir. This is the video footage of the incident. Once you watch it, you will understand."

Alyssa respectfully handed the portable holographic projector to He Ming.

He Ming took it puzzled and opened it.

As the screen flashed, a picture appeared in front of He Ming.

"Is this the scene when the Way of Stars was opened?"

"Yes, sir. Please continue reading."

As the scene switched again, a figure shrouded in golden light appeared in He Ming's eyes.

At this moment, He Ming's expression changed drastically.

Because the face under the golden light was very similar to him.

“The Pioneers. After witnessing their presence, a voice has been echoing in our minds. That voice told us that the Pioneers are right beside us.”
