As the various big shots arrived in the Shattered Star Ring, this Star Field became livelier and livelier. As the face of the Super world, every Beyond Grade A attracted the attention of countless galactic residents and organizations. They could be said to be special idols.
Apart from their own deeds, another important source of fame for Beyond Grade As was the Wayne Cards. Every big shot had their own set of cards. There were too many people in the universe who played cards and knew these big shots like the back of their hand.
This mentality was very similar to collecting cards, like the feeling of collecting Water Margin's 108 Generals while eating snacks.
On this day, spaceships circled the Black Star Corps headquarters one after another. Most of them were media reporters who had heard the news and came over. Eighty percent of the media in the Shattered Star Ring had come.
These reporters had been there for many days, witnessing the fleets of Beyond Grade As entering the Black Star Corps headquarters one after another. The surprise in their hearts grew stronger and stronger.
"How many have arrived?"
"Twenty-seven! There are even more Beyond Grade As on their way here. "
"With so many Beyond Grade As gathered, something big must be happening!"
"Are they going to rebel?"
Everyone was itching to rush into the Black Star Corps headquarters to find out the truth.
Ever since the arrival of the first Beyond Grade A, Ames, they were chased out and not allowed to enter the Black Star headquarters. They could only watch from the outside.
Unable to satisfy their curiosity, these reporters seemed to have turned into manic baboons, unable to sit still for even a moment.
Although the dynasty had released some news, it was only vague information. In order to maintain a sense of mystery, they did not explain the reason why these Beyond Grade As gathered in the Black Star Corps. This was to let the outside world speculate.
It had to be said that this method of leaving suspense in a literary work was very effective. The Shattered Star Ring had already received a lot of attention because of the Flickering World, and the news of the Beyond Grade As gathering in the Black Star Army had already attracted the attention of the entire universe.
Everyone was filled with questions.
What was the purpose of eighty percent of the Beyond Grade As in the universe suddenly gathering?
The circle of Beyond Grade As was too distant for ordinary people. Without any inside information, there were too many mysteries in their minds.
Among them, Black Star was the most discussed. The interest of the entire universe toward Han Xiao was once again raised.
Why did all the big shots choose the Black Star Corps as their meeting place?
Why was Black Star able to summon so many people with a single call?
Over the years, Han Xiao had been keeping a low profile and didn't make much news. Only recently did he make a new splash. Many people had an illusion that Black Star had done some secret things over the years, which allowed his status to suddenly rise to such a high level.
Not long ago, the Black Star Corps had a second Beyond Grade A, and now, seventy to eighty percent of the Beyond Grade As in the universe had gathered.
Almost everyone had such a guess.
At this time, another two fleets came through hyperdrive, arriving one after another. Their outer armor was engraved with the insignia of the Mecha Empire and the Void Overlord. They were Manison and Kasuyi's fleets.
"Quick, quick, record it!"
"The likes of Manison and Kasuyi actually came. Black Star's face is too big!"
The two fleets passed by these media ships and landed toward the Black Star Corps headquarters. Many reporters hurriedly recorded this process.
Since they could not enter, the only thing these reporters could do was record the list of the Beyond Grade As present and wait for the news to spread.
…
The two fleets sailed into the army's dock, and Manison and Kasuyi's doppelganger walked down from the spaceship. The two of them were old acquaintances, so they quickly chatted.
"You're here too. Looks like Ethereal also supported Black Star this time." Manison chuckled.
"Didn't Radiance send someone here too?"
Kasuyi's tone was indifferent. His voice seemed to come from the void, very ethereal.
"Radiance is Radiance, and I'm me. My goal this time is different." Manison's tone was indifferent.
"Drawing the line so clearly, you're not afraid that Radiance will be unhappy." Kasuyi shook his head. "Then, what's your goal?"
"Do you still remember the last time so many Beyond Grade As gathered?"
"I forgot."
"I'm guessing the three Universal Civilizations have almost forgotten, so I'll help them remember." Manison's tone was casual.
Kasuyi paused and did not comment. "This might not be a good thing for us. The more we value it, the more we fear it. It might be another Tragedy of the Pinnacles."
"Good and bad always coexist. Although we Beyond Grade As belong to different organizations, we're all in the same class and have always been in a state of disunity. Now that we're acting together, we've attracted the attention of the entire universe. I believe the other Beyond Grade As can see how powerful we are when we work together. If we can make use of this power, we can ask for more things," Manison said slowly.
"You haven't changed. You're still saying the same thing." Kasuyi's tone was emotionless. "The Ancient Ones, the Mechanical Race, the Limitless Financial Group … You have a lot of resources in your hands, but unfortunately … at your level, you can't do it alone. You have to make use of everyone … Tell me, what are you going to do this time?"
"We're just making use of each other. I'm not the only one benefiting. Every Beyond Grade A will benefit. Isn't that good?" Manison smiled.
"Anyway, you know me. Unless you have a way to help me complete the final God's Trait Transformation, don't come to me for this kind of thing again." Kasuyi waved his hand.
Manison did not mind and changed the topic. "Then let's not talk about this for now. The void specialties you gave me last time were pretty good. Give me some more."
"Sure, return the Ten Thousand Deity Scepter first."
"Are you dreaming?"
The two of them casually bickered. This time, more than ten Beyond Grade As who were waiting at the dock walked over. They were basically the Beyond Grade As of Radiance and Ethereal.
These people had arrived earlier. Because not everyone had arrived, they could only temporarily stay in the army headquarters and wait. They had already stayed there for some time. Today, their leaders had arrived, so they came to pick them up.
There was only one exception, which was Sorokin. He stood alone outside the crowd with a smile on his face.
"Why did you come to pick us up?" Manison glanced at him.
"Although this is Black Star's territory, the two of you are important shareholders of the financial group. Welcoming you is what I should do," Sorokin said sincerely.
To the others, this tone sounded like a bootlicker, which was very much in line with their long-time impression of Sorokin.
At this time, Han Xiao walked over and attracted everyone's attention. He smiled and said, "Welcome to the Black Star Corps. Follow me, the rooms have been arranged."
"Black Star." The dozen or so Beyond Grade As turned around and greeted him. Their gazes were filled with complicated emotions.
Some of them had only heard of Black Star's name in the past but had never actually met him. During this period of time in the Black Star Corps, they had already gotten to know Han Xiao.
In reality, most of the Beyond Grade As present did not want to come. They only came because of the orders of the upper echelons of Radiance and Ethereal.
However, no matter how unwilling they were, since they were in someone else's territory, they did not dare be arrogant. Otherwise, they would completely offend Han Xiao. Angering a peak Beyond Grade A who was very good at fighting was naturally unwise.
Manison nodded at Han Xiao. "We meet again. If I remember correctly, this should be the second time I've come to your territory."
"It's the third time." Han Xiao raised his brows. "You forgot about the fight."
"Alright." Manison shook his head and laughed, not minding it at all.
Ever since the last time, Han Xiao had not made any moves for more than ten years. Manison had already determined that Han Xiao had admitted defeat and would no longer challenge his position, so he did not have any prejudice against him.
Over the years, he had defeated many Mechanics. As long as they admitted defeat, he would not continue to target them. As the Main God of the Machinery Faith, he still had to act cool.
"This is Void Overlord Kasuyi. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the first time you've met." Manison turned around and introduced Kasuyi.
"It's indeed the first time we've met, but I've heard a lot about you." Han Xiao smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand. "It's an honor to meet Your Excellency Kasuyi."
Kasuyi shook Han Xiao's hand and said, "I've often heard of Black Star's name. You're also a legendary figure, so it's my honor to meet you. I heard that you also have the Void bloodline. I think we'll have a lot of common topics to talk about."
After complimenting each other for a while, Han Xiao led everyone back to their rooms. After the people from Radiance and Ethereal settled down, only Sorokin was left.
"Your Excellency Black Star, your face really amazes me. So many big shots have come to support you." Sorokin seemed to be sincerely praising him, but in Han Xiao's ears, it sounded fake.
Han Xiao curled his lips. "I thought you wouldn't come."
"How is that possible! I'm also doing business in the Shattered Star Ring. You're the leader of this Star Field, so how could I not give you face? I know you have some misunderstandings about me, and we have some competition in business, but I'm full of respect for you. "Sorokin forced a smile." We might have a chance to work together in the future. "
Han Xiao knew that this guy's shamelessness was on par with his and was already used to it. He clicked his tongue and said, "Heber didn't come with you?"
"He said he'll come on the last day. Hehe, he's clearly very close to you and is fighting with you like a child." Sorokin immediately sold out Heber.
"Humph, got it."
Han Xiao waved his hand, leaving the boy with a fake smile, Sorokin behind. He then turned around and left, thinking to himself.
Other than the allies of the three Universal Civilizations who had received orders to come over, the others all had their own thoughts. For example, Sorokin probably wanted to follow the crowd and disguise himself while taking the opportunity to interact with these Beyond Grade As. As for that old guy from the Mecha Empire, he seemed to have other plans as well …
The Beyond Grade As who came to the Black Star Corps could be divided into three types. The first were the dynasty's allies, Ames, Austin, and the others. The second were the allies of the other two Universal Civilizations who had received orders to come over, and the third were the neutral Beyond Grade As of the other factions. Most of these people came to make friends.
However, these people's intentions did not have much of an impact on this event, so Han Xiao did not mind.
The way Han Xiao saw it, the focus of this Beyond Grade A Association was the waiting period before the official meeting. These Beyond Grade As would have to wait in their own territories for more than ten days. This would create a platform for communication, making it convenient for these Beyond Grade As who would not normally meet each other to interact. Usually, due to the restrictions of regions and factions, there would not be such a public occasion for so many big shots to gather together.
This way, everyone could work together, and it would also be convenient for him to test so many Beyond Grade As whom he would meet for the first time. Not only him, everyone's social circle would be expanded a lot, which would be beneficial for strengthening the connections of the entire Beyond Grade A circle.
Han Xiao not only wanted to increase his reputation and maintain the security of the Star Field, but he also wanted to allow the other Beyond Grade As to interact with each other, providing an opportunity to help these people build a good relationship with each other.
Although there might be conflicts and grudges between the Beyond Grade As, if the World Tree War broke out, everyone would be comrades who would fight side by side. He wanted to do something good in advance.
Furthermore, if the Beyond Grade As remained in a state of disunity, it would also lead to some serious consequences.
The Calamity of the Supers has a fuse, and it's also an irresistible trend. I hope my meeting can cause some changes … Han Xiao thought.
…
"Your Excellency President, nearly thirty Beyond Grade As have already settled down in the Black Star Corps Headquarters. The final number is estimated to be between seventy to eighty."
On the mother planet of the Radiant Federation, Bader listened to the Chief Elder's report with a frown.
Considering many factors, he had chosen to let his allies support him. However, he suddenly realized that with so many Beyond Grade As gathered together, this force was too terrifying. Just meeting them would cause the entire universe to tremble, triggering a storm of public opinion. The influence was truly frightening, a little beyond his expectations.
"There are too many Beyond Grade As …"
"That's right. In a few days, the Black Star Corps Headquarters might become the most dangerous place in the entire universe." The Chief Elder's expression did not look too good.
"You misunderstood." Bader raised his head and glanced at him. "What I meant was … there are too many Beyond Grade As in the universe."
The Chief Elder's expression changed abruptly.
Bader stood up, walked to the window, looked out, and slowly said, "Beyond Grade As have long lifespans. If there are no accidents, they can live for hundreds or thousands of years at the very least. There are even Super Immortals whose lifespans can't be seen. Even if the probability of a Beyond Grade A appearing is very low, according to the ratio of normal deaths to new births, the total number of Beyond Grade As in the universe will only continue to increase. One hundred … two hundred … one day, it will reach tens of thousands!
At that time, the individual strength … will be out of control! "
The Chief Elder's expression became extremely serious. "You're saying … we'll have a new reckoning? Just like the Tragedy of the Pinnacles? "
Bader shook his head. "The Tragedy of the Pinnacles was just an accident, but it revealed to us how to deal with the Beyond Grade As. Although the number of Beyond Grade As is still under control, if we don't plan ahead, there will be a day when the top individual strength overflows. Therefore, a reckoning of the Beyond Grade As is necessary. However, I don't plan to do this during my term."
"Hmm, the Flickering World is very important to the entire universe. Now is indeed not the time for a reckoning." The Chief Elder nodded.
If there were too many individual strengths that exceeded common sense, the order of the universe would be shaken. In his eyes, a reckoning of the Beyond Grade As had nothing to do with personal grievances but to maintain the stability of the universe. However, this action would definitely cause a short period of turmoil and pain. Therefore, this was a hot potato for any leader of a Universal Civilization. No one wanted to do such a dirty job during their term.
To him, this was like maintaining the ecological balance of the universe. It was not to eliminate the Beyond Grade As but to control the total number of Beyond Grade As, maintaining the ratio of individual strength to collective strength at a safe value.
In an era of peace where there were no external enemies, once this ratio was out of balance, the consequences would be unpredictable.
This was not an idea he suddenly came up with. In fact, many years ago, the three Universal Civilizations had already made similar plans. However, the Beyond Grade As were not out of control, so this plan had never been implemented. This was a tacit agreement between the three rulers of the universe.
"I wonder if Black Star held this meeting with this intention long ago …" Bader thought of Manison's attitude and paused for a moment. "The Mecha Empire has probably guessed that a reckoning is inevitable, so they want to gather the Beyond Grade As to show us their strength? Or to improve the status of the Beyond Grade As? Tsk … two cunning fellows. "
He had to admit that he was indeed more wary of the Beyond Grade As, but it was impossible to start a reckoning now, so he could only turn his wariness into importance.
"Black Star, Mecha Empire … do you really want to gather the strength of the Beyond Grade As?" Bader's eyes were deep.
