Galaxy Calendar, Year 780, May 13th.
Flickering World, Garu Star Cluster, Sigma Star System, Forbidden Area No. 3.
After forty years of vigorous development, the territory of the Black Star Corps was already very prosperous, and there were fewer and fewer undeveloped areas. This was the logistics headquarters of the Black Star Corps in the Flickering World, so it was not open to the public.
In the area surrounded by multiple satellite bases, a cluster of gentle platinum energy was flashing. Like a radiating golden star, it was expanding and shrinking as if it were breathing, spreading out ripples of bright gold energy.
Two figures, one black and one red, were floating not far away from this' star '. Around them were countless mechanical soldiers, forming a defensive circle to protect this area.
"This day has finally come. Aurora has also stepped into our territory …"
The red figure sighed softly, with a hint of satisfaction and pride in her tone. Her usually cold face revealed a kind smile that said 'my child has grown up'.
The two of them were Han Xiao and Hella. Not far away, the shining golden 'star' was Aurora, who was going through the last step of the Beyond Grade A transformation.
Forty years had passed, but Hella did not show any signs of aging. Other than her aura becoming colder and more dignified, her appearance basically did not change. For ordinary Beyond Grade As, this amount of time was only equivalent to six to seven years, and for a special Beyond Grade A like Hella who had the authority of death, it was like the blink of an eye.
"If Aurora was allowed to accumulate on her own, it would probably take more than a hundred years to step into the Beyond Grade A realm. This is even earlier than I expected."
Han Xiao smiled.
His appearance did not change much, but forty years of accumulation made his aura even more unfathomable.
The army had been steadily expanding for forty years, and the bonuses of [Proof of Leadership] had also been increasing. On the other hand, Han Xiao had already raised his God's Trait Transformation to an extremely high level through his research on Jayz's treasure. His overall strength was not just a little stronger than forty years ago.
The Holy Light Particle had shortened the process of accumulating energy for Aurora. Coupled with the fact that she had no bottlenecks, it was only a matter of time for Aurora to become a Beyond Grade A Super. The timing was about the same as Han Xiao's initial estimation.
After a long time, the golden 'star' in front of them began to shrink. It turned from an enormous ball of light into a human figure emitting a faint golden light. It gave off an inviolable and holy aura, as if it was the combination of motherhood and divinity.
Aurora's appearance changed greatly. Her figure became very tall, and her facial features were stunningly beautiful. To use a tacky description, she had an angelic face and a devilish figure. Her entire person changed from a petite and cute style to the style of an older sister. It was simply not the same person.
Seeing this, Han Xiao and Hella flew in front of Aurora and looked her up and down with surprise.
Hella reached out and compared her height, only to realize that Aurora was actually half a head taller than her. "How did you change?"
Han Xiao stared at Aurora's figure for a while before coming to a conclusion. "This must be a second puberty!"
"This is a new ability. I can control the size of my body."
Aurora giggled. Her entire body glowed, and she instantly returned to her original petite figure.
"How is it? I look better than you just now, right? I can switch back anytime."
Hella snorted, changed the topic, and asked, "What other new abilities do you have?"
Hearing this, Aurora immediately displayed it. All of her functions were strengthened, and she did not need to develop her own abilities. She directly inherited the results left behind by her predecessor. She suddenly had many new abilities and talents, fully showing the joy of being a cheater.
After entering the Beyond Grade A realm, the efficiency of Aurora replenishing her life energy every day increased countless times. She basically did not have to worry about running out of energy. Furthermore, she had a passive halo effect. As long as she was within a certain range, her life forms would be buffed, greatly increasing their recovery speed. The range of the halo could also slowly expand as she grew.
"Also, I should be able to perfectly fuse the power of revival now."
As Aurora spoke, she flicked out a cluster of life energy. Seeing this, Hella also released a cluster of death energy. The two combined and turned into a golden-orange power of revival. The strength of the two types of energy reached a balance and was very stable.
Hella's eyes flickered. "In that case, you only need to familiarize yourself with the ability, and you'll be able to use the revival function of the Underworld."
The seven … no, the eight Hero Spirit Kings had been lazing around in the Underworld. Now that Aurora had become a Beyond Grade A, she had gathered the last piece of the 'Edo Tensei' puzzle, allowing these Hero Spirits to display their strength.
With the help of the eight Hero Spirits of the Underworld, the two sisters became the strongest in the universe. This was the greatest legacy left behind by her predecessor. Aurora could obtain enough power to protect herself, and the summoning style was her combat style.
Han Xiao smiled. "You're also a Beyond Grade A now. Do you want to be the Deputy Army Commander like your sister, or do you have other thoughts?"
Aurora's eyes turned, and she excitedly said, "I can protect myself now. Does that mean I can move freely?"
"… In principle, yes." Han Xiao could only nod.
"Then I want to travel alone. You're not allowed to stop me." Aurora's tone was impatient. She had been holding it in for the past few years and could not go anywhere. Now, she just wanted to travel the universe alone.
Han Xiao and Hella looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
Now that Aurora had become a Beyond Grade A, they could no longer arrange things for her like before. They had to respect her personal wishes.
However, they did not have to worry too much about her safety. With Aurora's current ability, she could solve most accidents.
"I approve, but you have to bring the King's Throne …" Hella said solemnly.
Hearing this, Aurora was excited. She turned to look at Han Xiao and said, "By the way, can I join the Beyond Grade A Association now?"
She had been looking forward to the Beyond Grade A Association for a long time. She had heard that the members were all talented, and she had long wanted to see it with her own eyes.
"Okay, I'll arrange for you to join … Hmm, the president election is in two months. Letting you in will boost my reputation as well."
Han Xiao did not refuse.
Now that Aurora had grown up and was strong enough to protect herself, there was no need for her to continue hiding. Furthermore, she did not want to continue hiding. Joining the association was only a matter of time.
Although this would make the various organizations think of the two sisters among the Primordial Ones again, Han Xiao could handle this storm now.
Aurora's ability might even be able to promote the union of the Beyond Grade As … Who would not want to join the Beyond Grade As?
Aurora blinked. "Are you sure you can succeed the president this time?"
Hearing this, Han Xiao smiled. "At least ninety percent."
After fifty years of development, the Beyond Grade A Association had completed part of their initial plan and successfully formed a giant interest union. Although they were secretly targeted by the three Universal Civilizations during this period, there were no conflicts that were too intense.
Therefore, he had persecuted Manison many times over the years and already had absolute authority in the association. Manison could only be a mascot most of the time.
In addition to the support of the internal members, the external organizations also supported his ascension. The right time, place, and people were all on his side. If things developed normally, he would definitely be able to smoothly hand over the president's authority in the meeting two months later, allowing the Beyond Grade A Association to enter the era of Black Star's rule.
However, Manison had kept a low profile for decades, and no one knew what he was planning. Han Xiao also did not know if he would watch him become the president or do something … However, no matter what, Han Xiao had made the necessary preparations.
After chatting for a while, Hella brought Aurora to the Underworld to familiarize herself with her abilities, leaving Han Xiao alone.
Han Xiao watched the two of them leave and thought to himself,
"Now that the army has a second Beyond Grade A, it can be considered unique. If Lothaire also makes a breakthrough, it will be even better."
Lothaire had been training hard for the past forty years, and his progress was extremely fast. He was already on the path of transformation, but unlike Aurora, he did not have a bottleneck and was still some distance away from becoming a Beyond Grade A. As for the other officers of the army, none of them showed signs of stepping into the Beyond Grade A realm in the short term.
Han Xiao stroked his chin and thought about the president election two months later.
The position was secondary. The most important thing was the chain reaction. For example, the elders of the Holy Covenant organization had been training quietly for decades, and the time they agreed to appear was after he was elected the president of the Beyond Grade A Association.
Han Xiao could imagine the reaction of the entire galactic society at that time. Even if many details had changed, it would definitely return to the trajectory of the Calamity of the Supers.
"In the past forty years, many new people have been born and are active in the universe. I've kept a low profile for so long. It seems like I'm going to return to the forefront of public opinion this time."
…
The Beyond Grade A Association was already a behemoth in the galactic society. The president election also received the attention of countless organizations.
On the mother planet of the Radiant Federation, in the presidential palace.
The current president of the Radiance Federation, Louis Loki, tapped his fingers on the table and spoke to the elders in front of him.
"The Beyond Grade A Association is about to change. Manison will definitely be kicked out by Black Star. What do you guys think?"
The Chief Elder shook his head. "This is the trend. Although Black Star is an ally of the dynasty, their honeymoon period is over. We won't lose out if he takes over."
Louis frowned. "I'm not targeting Black Star alone … None of the new people born in the past forty years joined the three Universal Civilizations. They all went to the Beyond Grade A Association. The existence of the association has already shaken our interests."
With the development of the Beyond Grade A Association, it became more and more difficult for the three Universal Civilizations to restrict the association. For example, the private dissemination of knowledge between Beyond Grade As became more and more frequent. This caused the three Universal Civilizations to rely on monopolizing the various Ultimate Knowledge systems to attract new Beyond Grade As to suffer a severe blow. They could not recruit new allies.
Of course, the three Universal Civilizations did not agree to the association imparting knowledge, so this behavior could be seen as violating their ban. However, the association did not publicly disseminate knowledge, so it was very troublesome for the three Universal Civilizations to hold them accountable. It was difficult to stop private dissemination because the Beyond Grade As now had the association as their backing, they did not care about the three Universal Civilizations.
"This is indeed a problem, but to solve it, we have to face the Beyond Grade A Association head-on, which will cause a lot of turmoil. I suggest that you don't act rashly before coming up with a mature plan," another elder said.
Louis tapped the table and narrowed his eyes.
The former president, Bader, did not want to flip the table against the Beyond Grade As during his term, so this task fell on his head. Louis could only take responsibility.
After decades of contact, he was more and more certain that the Beyond Grade A Association was the primary opponent he had to deal with during his term.
In Louis' opinion, the Red Empire and the Arcane Church most likely thought the same.
…
In a certain base of the Holy Covenant Organization, in a senior activity room …
"The Beyond Grade A Association is finally going to change …"
"After Black Star takes over, we'll be able to leave the mountain as promised."
The Primordial Ones watched the news broadcast on the virtual screen. Some were excited, some were expectant. They had different expressions as they discussed softly.
Oathkeeper stood beside the door with his arms crossed. His eyes flickered slightly as he muttered to himself, "This day will come.
"This day has still come … Black Star, I hope your predictions are correct."
