<h4>Chapter 1243 Holy ord: We Are Serious About Acting!</h4>
Two dayster, in the Holy ord’s fleet, a group of Primordial Ones sat in a circle around Sorokin, ying cards while keeping an eye on Sorokin at all times to make sure he did not do anything.Sorokin sat on a small chair in the middle and watched them y cards, giving suggestions from time to time, not acting like an outsider at all.
This time, the door opened. Oathkeeper walked in, and the noise in the room suddenly disappeared. Everyone, including Sorokin, looked over.
Oathkeeper looked around, stopped at Sorokin, and said with a deep voice, “I’ve considered it over the past two days. I’ll ept you into the Holy ord.”
Joy appeared on Sorokin’s face. Just as he was about to speak, Oathkeeper stopped him and added, “But before that, you have to resolve your conflict with ck Star. I don’t want you to bring problems to the organization.”
Hearing this, Sorokin’s expression turned serious. “What ideas do you have?”
Oathkeeper slowly said, “First, we have to test the risk, which is how persistent ck Star is about killing you. Therefore, we’ll use your location as bait and see if ck Star chases after it.”
“How do we do that exactly?”
Oathkeeper opened the star map, pointed at a transit hub in the Ancient Star Desert, and said, “We’ll find a way to spread rumors saying you’ve passed by Deere recently, then set up surveince to see how ck Star reacts to it. If his mene right away to investigate, it means he’s indeed hunting you. If ck Star invades Deere’s node using Virtual Intrusion, our men will discover it too... To show our sincerity in working together, we’ll share the situation reflected by the surveince with you.”
Sorokin thought about it for a moment and agreed with this n. Although he did not think ck Star would be hunting him, faking his whereabouts would not threaten his safety, so he had no objections. Instead, he was quite impressed by how cautious Oathkeeper was. It suited his taste.
From his perspective, he could totally just retire and not do anything, but Holy ord was not going to agree with that. They were worried ck Star might find them just like he did. Therefore, they actively wanted to remove the hidden threat. He could not make the decision for the Holy ord, so he could only cooperate.
“If Beiger is really hunting him, what do we do?” Beiger added.
“Then, there’ll only be two ways to solve this problem.” Oathkeeper looked at Sorokin, acted like he was troubled, and said, “Either we erase ck Star, or you fake your death to deceive ck Star.”
“That makes sense,” Beiger added. “ck Star will only give up hunting him if he thinks he’s dead. After all, the dead don’t speak. Anyway, Sorokin knows how to fake his death; he can just do it again.”
Sorokin felt this was logical and nodded. However, thinking about it, he said with a reluctant tone, “But that’s too risky. ck Star knows my identity, so he’ll definitely be wary about me faking my death. I’m worried that if he discovers it, I’ll really be dead...”
Oathkeeper shook his head. “Honestly, that’s even more convincing. We have the Sanctums, so if you really die, we can revive you. Not only will the threat be eliminated that way, but you’ll really be one of us.”
Sorokinughed awkwardly. “I’d rather pass on that. Plus, he has the Spacetime Amber. I’m worried he might seal me up...”
It sounded like a good n, but how could he trust the Holy ord? What if they did not revive him after he died?
Oathkeeper frowned and said with a displeased tone, “This n has the lowest risk and highest sess rate. In the end, you say you want to join the Holy ord, but you don’t see us as being on your side.”
“I’m really very sincere about joining the Holy ord, but trust needs to be developed over time...”
Sorokin looked troubled butined inside.
This n means you guys are only bearing the minimum risk. Basically, you don’t have to do anything at all. The problem will be solved regardless of whether I’m really dead or not...
Conversely, fighting ck Star was very risky for Holy ord but much less risky for him, so of course, he favored this n more.
“Humph, so you’re still forcing us to help you to kill ck Star.” Violet Queen snorted.
Sorokin had nothing to say.
“... We’ll talk about it when the timees. Let’s see if ck Star responds to the fake information first.”
Oathkeeper purposely nced at Sorokin with dissatisfaction. He did not say much and left.
Not longter, through secret channels, the intelligence that Sorokin passed by Deere got spread out. At the same time, the Holy ord organization set up many men on Deere for surveince.
Time passed day by day, and the information got spread further. As they did not know if ck Star had received the news yet, they could only wait and stare at the surveince screens all day.
As this involved him personally, Sorokin was most concerned about it. He stared at the screens every second.
After almost ten days, the Holy ord organization finally got the intelligence that one fleet from the Ancient Star Desert subdivision of the ck Star Army had arrived on Deere and was searching for Sorokin’s information on the.
...
“The situation is very clear. ck Star is indeed hunting you closely. You’ve brought us risk!”
In the remote surveince room, Oathkeeper red at Sorokin, his tone very displeased.
Sorokin did not reply. He looked extremely frustrated, and his heart sank.
He could not oppose this solid proof; he did not expect ck Star to want to kill him so much that he was hunting him secretly.
So, this guy not only wants my money but even my life!
What an evil man!
F*ck, although I tricked you several times in the past, I’ve already paid the price for that! ck Star, why do you want me dead so much?
This time, Oathkeeper said with a deep voice, “You really are not willing to fake your death to fool ck Star?”
“No.” Sorokin shook his head without hesitation.
Oathkeeper looked distressed. He walked back and forth, annoyed, as if he was hesitating.
After quite some time, he spoke reluctantly like he had finally made a difficult situation.
“Since that’s the case, we can only eliminate ck Star!”
As soon as he said that, the other Primordial Ones were instantly ‘appalled’ and expressed their strong objection.
“We have no conflict with ck Star. Why should we mess with such a strong enemy just for Sorokin?”
“Wouldn’t fighting ck Star also leak our existence?”
“This guy is just threatening us. Don’t fall for it!”
The elevated emotions of everyone startled Sorokin. He did not dare express his opinion.
“Stop!” Oathkeeper argued with them for a bit. He then raised his voice and said firmly, “There’ll be no next time!”
Then, he red at Sorokin and coldly said, “Are you satisfied now?”
“Nonsense, I’m not the one forcing you guys to deal with ck Star. This is your decision. I’d rather ignore him.” Sorokin sighed and expressed this was not his fault.
He was originally not nning to threaten the Holy ord organization to fight ck Star because he would offend them that way. However, he was not the one making the choice.
In his position, he could not change their stubborn opinions and convince the Holy ord to ignore ck Star. It was like someone who owed loan sharks a lot of money and took refuge in someone else’s home, not only causing them trouble, but also attempting to convince them to put up with the loan sharks’ harassment... Even Sorokin felt that was a little bit shameless.
Oathkeeper snorted and said slowly, “All and all, you brought the trouble, so you’ll have to solve it. Since ck Star is hunting you, you’ll be the bait to lure him into the trap.”
“Alone?” Sorokin asked.
“Of course, three of us will apany you, both to prevent you from escaping and to help you fight ck Star.” Oathkeeper shook his head. “As for the rest of us, we’ll set up an ambush far away and join the battle when the time is right.”
“Will that even work? ck Star has the King suit and is not afraid of being outnumbered,” Beiger added, disying his expertise as an actor.
“Don’t worry, ck Star will never expect there to be dozens of us, and that’s our biggest advantage! The trap set up by Sorokin will only have four people. It’s only our first measure but will seem like the whole ambush to ck Star. With ck Star’s strength, he’s unlikely to flee against four people and will definitely try to fight. Therefore, the team with Sorokin’s mission will be to stall ck Star.” Oathkeeper’s tone sounded like this was real.
“Then?”
“Try to create an opportunity, of course! The dozens of us will be umting energy. As long as you can temporarily control ck Star and make him not have the time to use the King suit, Sorokin, we’ll charge right in with Beiger’s teleportation spell, attacking him all at the same time, while having those who excel in the soul territory try to heavily damage ck Star’s soul!”
Oathkeeper’s tone was very firm and filled with confidence. Even he almost believed it.
Sorokin analyzed the n and felt that the sess rate was much higher than for him to act alone.
He believed that as long as ck Star did not use the Spacetime Amber to guard against the attacks, even he would most likely not be able to endure the focus fire of dozens of Beyond Grade As.
Although Soul me was not in his hands, Oathkeeper could use it all the same. Furthermore, there were not just the two of them who excelled in the soul territory in the Holy ord organization, which made Sorokin feel there was an even higher chance of seeding.
“This n should work. The sess rate is probably above seventy percent. The entire gctic society practically sees ck Star as a god, but he definitely has limits no matter how strong he is.”
Sorokin was relieved and expressed his support for the n.
Seeing that the fish had bitten the bit, knowing the ways of fishing very well, Oathkeeper said with a warning tone and a deep voice, “Don’t be d so soon. You’d best pray this n seeds. Otherwise, if ck Star escapes, he’ll definitely leak our information too. Then, your leverage will be meaningless, and I’ll hold you responsible for it. You can make a guess on what we’ll do to you... Therefore, for your own sake too, you’d better give your all in this mission!”
Hearing this, Sorokin’s expression turned serious, and he nodded firmly.
...
Half a monthter, in a certain deste universe belt of the Ancient Star Desert, a small spaceship hovered. There were only four people in the spaceship—Sorokin, Beiger, and two other Beyond Grade As.
Beiger stood with his arms crossed. He nced at Sorokin who was beside and said with an unsatisfied tone, “Tsk, I never thought I’d have to fight alongside you one day. Unlucky.”
“Tsk, you think I’m happy to see your face?” Sorokin snorted. He did not want to argue with him. He changed the topic and said, “It’s been so long—will ck Star reallye?”
“Who knows? We’ve already sent the coordinates out; it all depends on how strong his love for you is,” Beiger joked.
Sorokin was about to strike back when an unwee guest entered the range of his senses. His expression changed immediately.
“Someone’s here.”
The other three sensed it too and became silent. They looked in the direction of the presence they felt outside the porthole.
After a while, an asteroid approached extremely quickly. It seemed to have noticed the four of them too. It stopped not far away, and a familiar face appeared.
“It’s ck Star! He’s really here!”
Sorokin’s expression turned grave. He flew out of the cabin and stood opposite Han Xiao. Beiger and the other two followed along.
Han Xiao scanned through the few of them andughed in the public channel.
“Yoho, I see, you deliberately leaked your coordinates to lure me into a trap, huh? So, the information about your whereabouts some time ago was fake information you made up and spread purposely... Hehe, I don’t know where you got the help from, but Sorokin, oh Sorokin, aren’t you underestimating me too much, daring to attack me with just four people?”
“ck Star, I didn’t expect you to be so persistent in chasing me. You’re too much! Don’t me me. You left me no choice!”
This was what Sorokin was most irritated by. From the way he looked at it, he was the one who incurred muchrger losses, yet ck Star hunted him nonstop. It was too excessive.
“Sorry, I’m not a forgiving person. You’ve plotted against me one too many times. There’ll be quite a number of problems with letting you escape. Therefore, it’s better for you to live inside my Spacetime Amber suite, safe and sound.”
While speaking in the public channel, Han Xiao nced at Beiger and the other two with mockery in his eyes.
There were only five people there and supposedly two sides, but there were three group chats. One was the public channel, and another was the temporarybat group chat Sorokin, Beiger, and the other two were in.
The third was the ‘actor’ group chat that Han Xiao, Beiger, the other two Beyond Grade As, and all the Holy ord members ambushing far away were in. Basically, everyone except Sorokin.
“Do it!”
Sorokin did not want to bullsh*t with Han Xiao and attacked right away while also telling Beiger and the other two to attack together.
Seeing how much of a hurry Sorokin was in, everyone wasughing out loud nonstop in the actor group.
“He’s getting impatient...”
“Hahaha, why do I suddenly feel pitiful for him?”
“It’s so tragic. I can hardly watch.”
“You’d better take a few more looks. I’m afraid we’ll never see him again...”
The people joked around. The actor group chat was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
“Stop it. We’re in the middle of a performance. Be serious about it,” Han Xiao said whileughing. He summoned his mechanical army and charged into Sorokin’s attacks.
Beiger and the other two hastily joined the battle. They did their best not to burst intoughter and fought alongside Sorokin as if they were really on his side.
The battle broke up instantly. The energy left by the five of them left scorch marks in space.
The opportunity only existed for the blink of an eye. If they could not annihte Sorokin instantly, this guy would still have time to leak the information. Now was not the time yet, so the Holy ord was still performing for Sorokin.
Sorokin thought victory was in his hands and focused entirely on fighting Han Xiao. However, what he did not know was that the teammates he had high hopes in were all actors ready to backstab him any second.
