Shadows of the Deep Space Chapter 1789 - 557: Remembrance_2

Initially, Su Ming suspected Asya was fabricating an excuse for himself. However, it became apparent that Asya was determined to court disaster. This realization prompted nothing but endless sighs from Su Ming.

At this juncture, Onite approached Su Ming, delivering his report with respect. "Sir, the retrieval of spoils is nearing completion."

"Hmm."

"However, the VI Generation Mecha sustained severe damage, making repairs exceptionally difficult."

"I am aware."

"And regarding Asya’s remains, what are your instructions for their disposal?"

"Keep them preserved. Under no circumstances are they to be handed over to anyone. I will personally attend to the matter later," Su Ming stated calmly to Onite.

"Understood." Onite nodded in immediate comprehension.

Buzz~ At that precise moment, Su Ming’s wristband emitted a vibration, displaying a message.

"Esteemed Admiral Su Ming, you are requested to proceed immediately to the Nether Moon Star Headquarters for a remote conference."

After a brief perusal of the message, Su Ming turned to Timi. "Timi, set course for Nether Moon Star Headquarters without delay!"

"Yes!" Timi promptly initiated the necessary operations.

The Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme executed a turn, charting a course toward the Nether Moon Star Headquarters.

...

Within the Command Headquarters of the Nether Moon Star Defense Line.

Inside the main conference hall.

Present were General Angulat, Admiral Hayes, Morigko, Admiral Xinlad, Mia, and various other key figures. The assembled generals and officers were deeply engrossed in discussion.

"I’ve heard that the Black Flame Star Defense Line and the Cui Lan Star Defense Line are still locked in combat."

"It’s more than just a simple skirmish; both sides are engaged in a brutal fight."

"Initially, I presumed our Nether Moon Star Defense Line faced the greatest peril, yet unexpectedly, we were the first to successfully repel the enemy."

"We must extend our gratitude for Principal Mirrog’s crucial support, but the most significant factor was Admiral Su Ming’s decisive defeat of Captain Asya."

"I too have heard this account; it is simply astounding."

"My astonishment knows no bounds. Captain Asya was a cornerstone of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, and now he is fallen."

"Do any battle recordings exist?"

"Certainly, allow me to display them for you."

.... Some generals activated their wristbands, performing a few clicks to project the recorded battle sequences. Mia and others converged to observe.

"This is utterly astonishing!"

"Such mastery and formidable power, truly unparalleled."

...

"However, a point of confusion remains for me. When Lord Su Ming was initially engaged by Captain Asya towards the end, how did he suddenly unleash the Zero-degree Envoy's ability to reverse the situation and freeze his opponent?"

"Precisely! I felt a surge of worry for Lord Su Ming at that critical juncture, only for the tide to turn so dramatically."

"Is this the potency of a Biological Mecha? It is truly magnificent!"

...

The assembled group, captivated by the intense battle footage, periodically erupted in exclamations. Admiral Hayes, observing the ongoing conversations, remarked with evident emotion to General Angulat.

"Angulat, if you were to face Asya, what level of confidence would you possess in defeating him?"

"My confidence would be minimal. Setting aside the disparity in mecha performance, even with identical models, I deem my own skills slightly inferior to his. Perhaps only Master Kabunofa could achieve such a feat," Angulat responded, shaking his head.

At this very moment, the conference room door swung open, and Su Ming entered directly. Whoosh! All eyes instantly swiveled to focus on Su Ming. Startled by the collective gaze, Su Ming momentarily paused, offering an awkward greeting, "Everyone is present!"

"Lord Su Ming, you have arrived!" ... The generals and officers present converged warmly around Su Ming, engaging in friendly banter. Mia attempted to step forward to address Su Ming, but found herself abruptly pushed aside, leaving her with a darkened expression.

Just then, Aifulin approached Mia, her voice laced with emotion. "Sigh~ The more I observe Su Ming, the more captivating he becomes."

"I’m offering you a warning: do not harbor any designs on him," Mia cautioned Aifulin with evident displeasure.

"There's a saying, 'One should not let valuable resources fall into the hands of outsiders.' While our relationship might be fraught with minor disputes, we have known each other for many years. It would be preferable for myself to have him than for some stranger," Aifulin stated to Mia.

"Tch, you are merely dreaming," Mia retorted sharply.

Meanwhile, Morigko also approached Su Ming, extending his hand with a smile. "Su Ming, it has been quite some time. I did not anticipate encountering you here."

"Indeed! It has been a considerable while," Su Ming replied, quickly shaking his hand.

"I never had the proper opportunity to express my gratitude from our last encounter. And this time as well, it is thanks to you that we managed to secure the defense line," Morigko expressed gratefully.

"Please, do not say that. Holding the defense line was a collective achievement, not solely my accomplishment," Su Ming responded with modesty.

"Indeed, indeed!"

Morigko quickly chimed in, his head bobbing in affirmation.

"Lord Su Ming, your humility is truly remarkable."

A chorus of praise rose from the assembled individuals.

Just then, the conference room doors swung open, and in stepped Long Chen, Principal Mirrog, Long Ying, Commander Soraya, Commander Fulaya, along with several other prominent figures.

The previously boisterous hall instantly fell into a hushed silence.

"Everyone, please take your seats promptly; the remote meeting is about to commence," Long Chen announced to the gathered crowd.

"Understood!"

Su Ming and the others hastened to their designated spots.

Once everyone was seated, a colossal holographic projection materialized above the council's central platform.

The image of Long Bai materialized before their eyes, and alongside him, Su Ming and the others could discern the council members seated behind him.

"President Long Bai!"

Su Ming and the others rose to their feet, offering their respectful greetings.

"Please be seated," Long Bai instructed, making a hand gesture for them to resume their seats.

Su Ming and the others promptly complied, settling back into their chairs.

"The primary purpose of today's assembly is to officially commend each and every one of you. Your execution of this defensive engagement was nothing short of brilliant, delivering a significant blow to the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country and establishing a powerful precedent. On behalf of the entire council, I extend my sincerest congratulations to all involved!"
