"I suspect the World Intruder may already have fallen into Axis's hands."
Everyone present exchanged glances upon hearing Xiao Ran's words. The World Intruder, which had shown no signs of appearing until now, was actually at Axis? Amid their surprise and confusion over why Xiao Ran had reached that conclusion, none of them noticed how tightly his brows were furrowed.
"Why?" Cruze asked the question everyone wanted answered.
Xiao Ran shook his head. "It's simple. Given Axis's current situation, it simply isn't worth the Federation taking such a huge risk to help them. We wiped out a Federation fleet of that scale. Even if Axis allied with them, its insignificant strength couldn't change the current situation."

If they truly intended to deal with us, they would have acted long ago. Karma would certainly have brought MS built with new technology this time to ensure his own safety.
