Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2102 Weros's Plan
"elder brother!"

"Enter!"

The two brothers, who thought they would never see each other again in this life, could no longer suppress the emotions that welled up from the depths of their hearts when they met. They quickly stepped forward and embraced each other.

"I thought you were already the captain of the Yamato!"

After the two brothers parted ways, Kogoro patted his younger brother's shoulder hard, his eyes full of relief, but he still couldn't help teasing his brother.

"Brother! Please stop teasing me. How could I possibly be the captain of the Yamato right now?"

"Hahaha! Ancient times, don't underestimate yourself! Who knows, one day after I retire, you will be the captain of the Yamato."

Okita Juzo's loud laughter came from afar, startling Koji Susumu and also making Koji Mamoru laugh heartily.

Kogoro patted his younger brother's shoulder forcefully again, then strode up to Okita Juzo, stood at attention, and saluted.

"Captain! It's been a long time."

"Hmm! Long time no see. Shou."

Okita Juzo nodded and looked up at the increasingly mature Kogoro.

"I heard you have a daughter?"

"um, yes."

Kougami gave a doting smile and turned to look at Stasia and the others who were chatting with Mori Yuki behind him.

"Little Sasha, come and meet your Grandpa Okita."

While Yamato and the others were catching up, He Ming was once again gathering with Sky Knight King, Tedlina, and the others to discuss their next move.

"Judging from the current situation, there are no longer any individuals or forces in the Andromeda Galaxy that have any connection with Earth. Chen Feng, have you discovered anything from the civilizations you've recently gathered?"

After introducing the situation of the Yamato, He Ming asked the Sky Knight King's side for information related to the Tower of the Yamato.

"Yes. There is some intelligence, but it's not very valuable. The Tahuangga clan is constantly mobilizing troops to the galactic center of the Andromeda Galaxy, and they have grand ambitions."

King Sky Knight sighed softly.

"When you, Pioneer, went to search for the Yamato, we organized a raiding party to try to break into the heart of the Andromeda Galaxy and see what Tahuanga was up to. Unfortunately, we were stopped by the Ghost Faces and Tahuanga before we even entered the core region of the Andromeda Galaxy."

"The Ghost Face Gang has also made a move? It seems that this time, we alone will probably not be able to stop them."

He Ming frowned and looked at Tianqi Wang.

"What did the fortress say?"

"Let's wait and see! However, we need the World Tree and the fortress to work together to connect Earth and this star system, acting as a nail driven into this universe, to remain unchanged in the face of all changes."

"Is it possible? The Tahuanga and the Ghost Faces are probably trying to use the power of the Andromeda Galaxy's galactic center, or even the power of this entire universe, to open a path. The impact they unleash will likely be..."

"There's no need to worry about this! He Ming."

As the two were talking, a familiar streak of light fell from the sky, outlining a human face—it was Weros.

"Lord Veros."

Upon seeing this, the Sky Knight King led many Morning Wind Elves to pay their respects to Veros.

For the Starsea Civilization, in the absence of the Prophet, Veros was practically the Prophet's spokesperson.

However, this didn't feel very real to He Ming.

And Veros wouldn't specifically mention this; everything would just happen naturally. Therefore, in Veros's presence, only He Ming remained composed.

"Next, the fortress will serve as a backup for the World Tree, providing it with sufficient energy to help protect the two star systems currently under our control and prevent them from being affected by the conspiracies of the Tahuangga and the Ghost Face Clan."

After Veros dismissed the Sky Knight King and the Morning Wind Elves from their formalities, he slowly explained the fortress's plan.

"Whatever Tahuanga and the Ghost Faces are plotting, they have to open a path. And the moment that path opens, the two star systems protected by the World Tree will be the first to enter that world, seize the initiative, and stop Tahuanga and the Ghost Faces' conspiracy as quickly as possible."

As Veros spoke, He Ming sensed that the other man's gaze was once again fixed on him.

"And to do this, I'm afraid we'll have to rely on you. What name, a pioneer who embarks on the same journey as the prophet."

"I'll do my best!"

He Ming solemnly replied.

After meeting Nordos Lechdi in the river of time, He Ming knew that such a day would come.

"Yes, the World Tree will tell you the detailed plan! Sky Knight King, go and prepare!"

"Yes, Lord Veros."

After watching the Morning Breeze Spirits leave, He Ming looked around and found that the people on the Yamato were still there, but no sound came from them.

"I made the surroundings a little quieter. Pioneer."

After isolating himself from all senses, Veros spoke again.

“I heard from the witch that you met with Nodos Lechdi.”

"Yes. Werros, you've seen them?"

He nodded.

Veros's virtual face rippled slightly, as if a ripple had appeared in the core of his mind.

"Perhaps I have seen them, perhaps I haven't. When my mind core awoke, I didn't see any Nodos around me. But deep within my mind core, I have memories of those Nodos."

Veros chuckled softly.

"Isn't this strange? It's like what organic beings would say, a bit of a split personality."

"No. Perhaps, this is a trace of the prophets' projection in your memory when you were building the core of your mind."

He Ming offered a guess.

"The witch once said the same thing. But I don't care about that. My mission is to protect the stars until the path opens again. And now, perhaps, I am only one step away from completing my mission."

"Pioneer. Advance boldly according to your will! I will provide you with all the assistance I can at the fortress!"

"Okay! I agree, Veros."

He Ming responded to Weros with a solemn expression and from the bottom of his heart.

A streak of light flashed, and a figure bowed deeply to He Ming.

May the stars guide you!

May the stars guide you!

Shortly afterward, the World Tree, located deep within the Morningwind Elf homeworld, suddenly surged, tearing a rift through the boundary of reality and entering the world of concepts. With the continuous energy supply from the fortress, it enveloped the planetary system containing the Morningwind Elf homeworld, the homeworld of the Elnesti trio, Iskandar, and the four ecological planets of Gamiras within countless tree roots. Then, in a flash of light, it suddenly disappeared from the current cosmic space.
