Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2116 What Nodos Fears
The sheer size of the colossal tree, so immense it defies description, with three galaxies enveloped in its roots, left Messitaka speechless for a long time.

"Is this... the anomaly our world is experiencing?"

After recovering from the shock of the giant tree, Messitaka turned his gaze to Aiji, who was sitting next to him, playing around with Xiaoya and Xiaoying.

Aiji noticed Messitaka's gaze, immediately sat up straight, and responded crisply.

“I don’t know. But it’s something that the fathers have never said.”

"The Golden Clan has never mentioned this before? Then, what should we do?"

After waking up on the Argonot, Messitaka did some research and learned that the person who raised Edge was the legendary Golden Clan.

Many times, Messitaka would ask Edge directly.

Unfortunately, Edge's responses to this were mostly straightforward: "I don't know" and "Dads didn't say that."

"Hmm, I don't know either. But I think Deannaila knows what to do. Just follow her!"

After Aiji finished speaking, he was defeated by Xiaoya and Xiaoying, who deliberately held up some foxtail grass they had found from who-knows-where to tickle him. He rolled on the ground, then turned around like a tiger and snatched the foxtail grass to launch a counterattack.

That playful demeanor hardly resembles that of Nodos, the terrifying being capable of destroying star systems in a short time.

Left with no other option, Messitaka turned his gaze to the group of people sitting at the table next to him, chatting quietly.

"Mesitaka, why don't you come and sit down?"

He Ming waved to him and then pointed to the chair next to him.

Messitaka walked over silently and sat down.

“Mesitaka, I am Deannara y. Leisha Arteria Oru Vinos... well, my name is a bit long, just call me Deannara.”

Deannala took the initiative to introduce herself.

“I know you. Edge mentioned you.”

Messitaka nodded, then looked at He Ming.

"Autemia seems to be very afraid of your eyes."

"Afraid of my eyes?"

This surprised He Ming somewhat.

Are there things that the Heroes race fear?

No, or perhaps it's fear?
"Are the Heroes afraid of your eyes?"

Deanna couldn't help but look curiously into He Ming's eyes.

"Well, maybe."

He Ming hesitated for a moment, and the next second, a dazzling gold light emerged from the depths of his pupils. Messitaka was so frightened that he took two steps back, and the chair fell to the ground with a thud.

Edge, who was in the distance, immediately looked over, and his expression gradually tightened.

"Don't panic. It's just a test."

With a blink of an eye, He Ming's pupils returned to their original black color. After seeing this, Messitaka carefully picked up his chair and sat down again.

"What... is this...?"

"Dianella asked cautiously."

Messitaka's lips twitched a few times, and he forced out a name.

"The Golden Clan".

"The Golden Clan?!"

Deanna was startled and let out a small gasp.

Aiji looked over again, but then started playing around with Xiaoya and Xiaoying again.

"Ottimia said his eyes looked like those of the Golden Clan."

"Is that so?" Deannara couldn't help but recall the time-space contact she had with He Ming, and the battle where she had held back the berserk Belcros. Gradually, she came to accept this explanation.

Legend has it that only the Golden Clan can quell the rampage of the Hero Clan.

Although Deannara was not yet born in the era when the legend was born, the battlefield she was on recently was probably a reenactment of some aspect of the legend.

"I'm afraid I'm not a member of the Golden Clan."

Faced with Autenmia's statement, He Ming was neither proud nor complacent, but calmly replied.

“A long time ago, under certain circumstances, I had several encounters with a mysterious race called the Prophets in the flow of time and space, or in certain specific spaces. Perhaps these prophets are the Golden Race you speak of.”

He Ming didn't make any definitive statements, but left some room for maneuver.

"You've had contact with the Golden Clan before, and not just once or twice?"

Messitaka was even more shocked.

The fluctuations emanating from Ortemia, who resides within its tower, are far greater than ever before.

"Autemia, are you afraid, or are you looking forward to it...?"

Austria did not answer Messitaka; after a moment of excitement, he fell silent again.

"Perhaps, the situation we are facing now is no longer a battle between humans and the Silver and Bronze races."

Deannala remained silent for a long time before gradually recovering from the news.

Only just now did Deannala truly understand the panic that Edge had felt when he saw He Ming and the others.

Because this is a completely unpredictable, uncontrollable factor that jumped in from outside the prophecy of the Golden Clan.

The only saving grace is that one side of these uncontrollable factors is willing to stand with them.

"Tahuangjia, I have already handed over the intelligence on the Ghost Faces to you. Hopefully, before we set off, we will see a united human fleet with only one voice."

He Ming looked at Deanella seriously and said.

"I understand, Marshal."

Deannaila solemnly promised.

"I will not allow any accidents to happen to the human alliance fleet."

Meanwhile, the two foolish brothers, who were still under house arrest in the royal private room in Altaia, were still resentful that Dianella had not invited them to participate in the Nodos surrender ceremony (a ceremony that did not exist).

"That damned Deannala is taking all the credit again! The credit for reclaiming Earth, the credit for defeating the enemy Nodos, she's claimed it all!"

Mereigaros bit his glove, his eyes filled with resentment as he spoke of his grievances.

"Yes! Your Majesty. We are clearly the true heroes, so why are we stuck here and unable to leave? Meanwhile, she, Deannara, stands proudly in front of the cameras, accepting the surrender of the enemy, Nodos!!"

Atlantis clenched his fists and roared.

"No! Your Majesty, why don't we appeal to the council? Let them remove Deannaira from his post and return the fleet to our control!"

"Okay!! Let's do it this way!"

Mereigaros gritted his teeth and agreed without hesitation.

However, before they could take any action, all external communications to their room were shut down, and the guards at the door were replaced several times, completely ignoring the brothers' frantic banging on the door after they realized they were truly under house arrest.

The horrific scene, however, gave Mobido a slight sense of amusement, like watching a monkey show.

"By the way! Do you think Her Highness the Princess would issue that order?"

After shaking its head for a while, the main AI of Argonot slowly spoke.

The chances of Princess Deannala issuing that final order are infinitely close to zero!

"Is that so? Well, Princess Deannaila, who has now made up her mind to step forward and lead humanity, is no less impressive! Speaking of which, perhaps we should thank that Marshal He Ming!!!"
