Chapter 464: Chapter 77: News of Death_2

His power was still weak, and with a damaged warship, he simply couldn’t control the situation.

There were traitors within the Federation, so he couldn’t fully trust the Divine Sword Bureau either.

If Ye Xi found out, it was equivalent to the Divine Sword Bureau knowing, after all, his relationship with Ye Xi was far from enough to make her conceal anything from the Divine Sword Bureau.

“So it was just luck?” Ye Xi spoke in a low voice, suggesting that they had been very fortunate.

“Has it been long since the others withdrew?” Ye Xi asked as if something occurred to her.

“Yes,” Xu Mo nodded, “It’s been a while, everyone has left, and there are many giant beasts lurking on the warship.”

Ye Xi’s face changed instantly upon hearing Xu Mo’s words, obviously realizing something.

“So we can’t go back?” Ye Xi said.

“It seems so,” Xu Mo nodded.

Ye Xi took out the communicator, searching for a signal to contact the outside world; seeing her actions, Xu Mo said, “Captain Xi, it’s no use, I’ve tried it. This is the Deep Sea; it’s impossible to have a signal here.”

Ye Xi’s face turned pale upon hearing Xu Mo’s words.

“Guffu killed Han Hu and made attempts on our lives, and another person’s identity is unknown, but they are also from the Federation. They have infiltrated the Federation; it is very dangerous,” Ye Xi said. “If we don’t expose them, it may cause a greater disaster.”

Thinking of this, she clenched her fist and smashed it hard against the floor. However, she winced the next moment. What material was the floor made of? It was so hard!

“The Federation will probably not give up on the Super Energy Body. If this mission fails, they might come back for it. We’ll wait here,” Xu Mo said. “The warship is sealed, and there’s a living area on the next level, allowing us to survive.”

“Did you discover anything?” Ye Xi asked.

“Some weapons, equipment, and also the living quarters of the fleet members,” Xu Mo replied.

“Let’s go take a look,” Ye Xi spoke, and Xu Mo nodded, following her as they left the area. Not long after they departed, the carrier returned to the control room, connecting with the warship.

……

The Federation’s team returned without success, their mission failed.

The public on Byron Star, upon receiving the news, were somewhat disappointed. The media had been closely observing this operation, and its commencement had caused a significant stir, with numerous outlets eagerly covering the story.

The Divine Sword Bureau, the Federation’s mighty, and the Alliance Army from various major families and corporations, all ended in failure.

The officials did not disclose the reason or how exactly the mission failed, leaving the public in the dark. However, leaked information suggested that the mission was thwarted by an Energy Storm from the Super Energy Body that was too powerful to transport.

So, they had indeed found the Super Energy Body but could only look at it.

Furthermore, the Federation released some casualty news, which caused an uproar on Byron Star.

The naval military fleet encountered a swarm of giant beasts during the voyage, resulting in heavy casualties, with many well-known figures from the Federation killed in action.

The Divine Sword Bureau lost eight people, including two captain-level figures.

Additionally, news surfaced that Xu Mo had unfortunately perished in this mission.

After this news broke, it shook the public profoundly, and the people of Byron Star found it difficult to accept, demanding the officials to reveal the cause of Xu Mo’s death.

They had heard about the assassination attempt on Xu Mo in Coastal City.

They couldn’t accept that a rising superstar had fallen so suddenly.

He was only eighteen, a prodigy who had overturned Lancelot Star on his own, won dignity for Byron Star, and had just received the Purple Gold Medal, a symbol of supreme honor.

Now they were being told that Xu Mo had been sacrificed in the mission.

Many of the public found it hard to accept, and some even doubted whether the news was real.

Upon learning of Xu Mo’s death, many people were jolted awake from their dreams in the middle of the night.

A single Transcendent contest, a duel – Xu Mo had become the idol of many, especially the passionate youth who couldn’t come to terms with the news of his demise.

Subsequently, the officials confirmed Xu Mo’s death. He had been engulfed by an Energy Storm after entering the core area.

The President personally offered condolences, and the President’s Mansion mourned this loss. The youngest recipient of the Purple Gold Medal in the history of Byron Star had fallen, marking a tremendous loss for the Federation.

Meanwhile, the relationship between Byron Star and the Alien populations continued to deteriorate.

During the course of the operation, several frictions occurred between Byron Star and the Aliens, and furthermore, the Aliens had begun mobilizing armed forces from their home planet to Byron Star, especially from Lancelot Star, which the Federation strongly condemned.

In Coastal City, at the seashore,

Zero stood by the sea, gazing into the distance at the ocean, her expression devoid of emotion and seeming vacant as she watched the roaring sea.

She didn’t have much concept of death; it was a term that seemed very distant to her.

But this time, she felt the meaning of ‘death’ deeply.

Byron Star announced the death of Xu Mo.

She didn’t believe it.

He would surely come back.

Behind Zero, a group of figures approached.

Ye Qingdie, Xiao Qi, and their companions also arrived at the seashore, the departure point of Xu Mo.

Ye Qingdie came to stand by Zero’s side, her gaze, like Zero’s, fixed on the ocean.

She was more familiar with death than Zero because it had been very close to her several times; moreover, she had experienced the death of those close to her several times, but never had it been as profound as this time.

However, she didn’t feel the intense emotions she had expected; instead, she was surprisingly calm.

Ye Qingdie extended her hand, and as the sea breeze blew, she tried to grasp it but couldn’t, just like trying to hold onto fate itself.
