Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 2126 The Silver Clan Who Crashed into Concerts?

"I heard singing again."

Deep within the Star Path, far behind the Argonot, beyond the distance that Deanna could sense, Silver Clan ships gathered in small groups, all watching the human ship that was steadily approaching the Silver Clan's home planet along the Star Path.

During this period, the Silver Clan, who were on the same Star Path as the Argonot, heard the song echoing from the depths of the Star Path more than once.

Normally, the Path of the Stars would not transmit any sound.

But ever since singing first appeared on the Star Path, the Star Path has been occupied by singing more and more often.

This is especially true of the Starway where the Argonot is located.

"Why are the Black Iron Clan causing such a commotion?"

One of the Silver Clan members asked this question.

"Is this for entertainment?"

Another member of the Silver Clan attempted to answer.

"No! It's just a bluff!"

Paet O shouted on the spot.

“Paet O’Hara. Your emotions are starting to fluctuate.”

Prome O, who was far away on the Silver Clan's home planet, silently waiting for the Argonot to appear, reminded him.

"No! This is simply the truth! It has nothing to do with my feelings. Besides, as the emotion collector of our race, Prome O, shouldn't you have given us a warning beforehand?"

Paet O's rebuttal silenced Prome O on the spot.

The Silver Clan sage Prome O, who remained alone on his home planet, which had been shrouded in sand and dust for countless years, slowly raised his head and looked at the starry sky that was faintly visible amidst the sand and dust.

"Lord Prome."

Prome-O's student, and also Lectic of Nodos, came before her.

"Lekdi, have you heard those songs?"

Prome looked at her student and asked.

Lekdi nodded slowly, and after a moment of silence, she revealed a secret she had never told anyone before.

"Lady Prome, when the singing came from deep within the Star Path, I used a jump to investigate. However, I was stopped by an unknown being."

"An unknown entity?"

Prome was taken aback, staring into her student's eyes.

She was very clear about the capabilities of her students.

Since she has already used the Hero Race's jump to travel through the spacetime stream to find the answer, it proves that she is confident in finding the source of the song.

However, Lekdi said that he encountered an unknown entity in the spacetime flow.

"Can you identify who they are from?"

When asked by the teacher, Lekdi shook his head.

“I don’t know. Although the other party gave me a very familiar feeling, I still couldn’t see through the fog to the truth. Besides, the other party only warned me not to attack the song, and did not interfere with my actions against the Nodos of the Dark Iron Clan at that time.”

"Guardians, huh? That's something that interests me greatly."

Prome O. sighed slowly and reached out to touch the student's cheek.

“Lekdi. I understand what you’re wondering and what you’re anxious about, but don’t worry. Messitaka will probably be fine.”

A flicker of emotion crossed Lekdy's face after his teacher pointed out his inner anxiety.

"The Golden Clan, who knew the future, left behind a contract that is difficult to fulfill. Messitaka may not be able to extricate himself from the contract."

"No. Lekdi. What was set was only the number of contracts, not the contracts themselves. Perhaps, Messitaka has already found his chance for liberation."

Prome nodded slightly. "The song echoing along the Path of Stars may be the reason we embark on that path again."

"Perhaps, this is the key to understanding why the Golden Race left this universe."

"However, before that, we may need to go through more trials."

A concert is in full swing aboard the Argonot.

As the main performer of this concert, Sheryl, with the help of the Royal Maid Corps, sang her songs with 200% effort, immersing the entire Argonot in the galactic fairy's voice.

Meanwhile, Xiaoya was lying in the small meditation pod specially built for her, carefully sensing the unusual things coming from her surroundings.

Looking at Xiaoya, who resembled her greatly during meditation, a hint of curiosity appeared in Deannaila's eyes.

Judging from He Ming and Lin Mingmei's accounts, the tiny, adorable Xiao Ya, who is only the size of a palm, also possesses the ability to guide people onto the path of stars, just like her.

"Hmm, there's something bad behind us."

After meditating for a moment, Xiaoya opened her eyes and gestured with her arms outstretched.

"Bad thing?"

Deannala was taken aback, then immediately closed her eyes, channeled her mental energy, and followed Xiaoya's mental fluctuations.

The next second, Deannala suddenly opened her eyes.

"They're the Silver Clan! And there are quite a few of them."

Countless mental fluctuations instantly overwhelmed the mental connection lines of the Argonot, triggering a piercing alarm.

"Warning! Warning! Silver Clan detected! Distance..."

The AI ​​assistant on the Argonot blinked, issued a warning, and then immediately calmed down.

"Distance confirmed! The location of the Silver Clan is far beyond the range that our ship's radar can detect. After analysis, it is estimated that the Silver Clan would need to continue accelerating for at least 156 hours before they can catch up with our ship if they want to threaten it."

Mobido was first startled, then stunned.

"W-what's going on? At this distance, there's no need to issue a warning, is there?"

"I'm very sorry, Captain. This was an accident."

As Deannaila's voice rang out, two illusory figures, one large and one small, appeared in front of Mobido.

Mobido quickly stood up and bowed.

"Your Highness, were you meditating just now?"

After shaking her head, Deannala's phantom pointed to the tiny phantom swimming around her with great curiosity.

"It is Xiaoya, the adopted daughter of Master He, who is meditating. I was affected by her mental fluctuations and had no choice but to transmit the coordinates of the Silver Clan that I sensed to the mental connection of the Argonot."

"this···"

Upon hearing Diannera's explanation, Mobius opened his mouth in astonishment.

"So, the Silver Clan didn't intend to attack us?"

"Yes, I'm afraid so. They seem to be observing us right now."

The phantom of Deannala turned around and looked to her side, seemingly talking to someone next to her.

"Hmm. Lord He Ming said it might be because the Argonot was holding a concert, which allowed the Silver Clan to hear the singing and follow the Argonot from a distance."

"A concert? Singing?"

Mobido opened his mouth, and there was a sense of absurdity to it.

Hordes of Silver Clan members were hanging behind the Argonot, not for any other reason than to crash the concert?!

What's going on here?
