Chapter 16 - The Great Change at The Ring

"Relax, you are recovering. Your body is currently integrated with the planet, so you won't be able to go out for a while" Sidius replied when he saw this girl starting to panic.

He realized that at this moment, his body was wrapped in a layer of energy that supported his recovery.

"Thanks for the help" a very sincere word comes out from her lips.

"Before, can you tell me what happened? Why is there a Green Starian in the Outer Ring?" Sidius began to ask questions to find answers to the mystery of this incident.

"Let me introduce myself my name is Thea and from planet Nexor, I'm an army from The Green Leaf"

"Green Leaf Army? You mean you're part of Thibery's squad?"

"You know the commander of Thiberry?"

"Why not, we used to train a lot and work together on missions"

"What happened? Is Thibery okay right now?"

"The current commander is still trapped in the planet Nexor"

"Planet Nexor? Why have I never heard of the planet? What happened?"

"Our home planet Gleas are not safe after the big changes"

"Great Changes?" Stella and Sidius are confused by the news.

"You guys don't know about the Great Changes??"

"Why are you guys in Outer Ring?" This time Thea asked Sidius and Stella.

"We've been in the outer ring for almost 500 years"

"500 years? Who are you guys? Why have you been in the outer ring for 500 years?" This time Thea was curious.

"I am Sidius and this is Stella"

"Sidius? General of Gold Spear?" Thea was very surprised after hearing Sidius's name.

"Exactly, 500 years ago I got a mission with Stella. During the mission we were ambushed and Stella was seriously injured, I brought Stella out of the Ring and recuperated here".

Then Sidius continue to ask Thea about the situation.

"What happens to Gleas?"

Thea after feeling that Sidius can be trusted began to tell him what had happened.

400 years ago, a big event occurred in the Ring, several Star Beasts with extraordinary powers appeared and went berserk. At that time, troops from Gold Starian and Green Starian worked together to solve this problem.

After the matter was resolved, there was a major change in the order of the Inner Ring.

The leader of Gold Starian is accused of capturing and keeping the rampaging Star beasts and the leader of Gold Starian was not willing to give up the Star Beast.

There was a fierce battle between King Chrysus and Queen Sien because of this debate, the battle lasted for 30 nights. After the battle, there was news that both parties are seriously injured.

The seriously injured Queen Sien cannot lead the Cyan Starrian and then be replaced by Master Skhir. And there was no news of the whereabouts of King Chrysus as if it had disappeared like steam.

Leader Violet Starian and Leader Cyan Starian announced the capture of the entire army of Gold Starian and Green Starian.

With this announcement, it wasn't long before all the Gold Starians and Green Starians were hunted down, because they were considered to be working together. Some of them were caught and some managed to escape from the Inner Ring.

"What? Queen Sien fought King Chrysus?" Stella was very surprised.

Not only was Stella surprised to hear this news, but Sidius was also surprised because he knew King Chrysus and Queen Sien were very friendly.

"Yeah, because of the hunt, we Green Starians were forced to hide and get out of from Gleas"

"Uncle – Aunt, how many Starian races are there in the inner ring?" Astrum was confused after listening to Thea's story.

Then Stella explained to Astrum.

Within the Inner Ring, there are three ruling Starian races: Gold, Cyan, and Purple.

The Gold Starian with its leader King Chrysus is considered the leader in the inner ring because of his strength and justice.

Cyan is led by Queen Sien in charge of the star records, and Purple is led by King Anim in charge of guarding Star Soul.

The state of tranquility within the Inner Ring had lasted for more than a million years.

After getting a brief explanation, Sidius asked Thea to continue.

"Please Continue".

After several years of Green Starian running away from pursuit, they got word that there was a safe haven created by the Starian Lord from the Ring.

The place is known as the "Sanctuary", hearing the news they decided where they wanted to go.

On their way, Thea's group was met by Purple Starian's troops. Since there was no power to fight back, commander Thiberry decided to take his group to the Outer ring.

In the Outer ring, their group finds an uninhabited planet. Once they are there, they discover that the planet holds ancient Starian technology and abundant materials.

They discover that the planet is Nexor, an ancient planet that disappeared 1 million years ago. They survived by using materials that are abundant on the planet.

But after 50 years, there was a big change on the planet Nexor. The planet's core experiences a surge of energy that ravages the entire planet.

Commander Thiberry found that there was a Korth ( The Star Eater) sealed in the planet's core, the material on the planet was a seal so Korth could not get out.

After the amount of material was drastically reduced, the seal was finally opened. Commander Thiberry and his army decide to use their star power to re-seal the core and the entire planet.

After a while, the green leaf and refuges managed to settled down on the planet, until 14 years ago, the outer seal of the planet suddenly opened, and exactly 4 years ago Zax's army came to invade the planet Nexor.

With the condition of the Thibery army sealing the planet's core, they were unable to fight. Leaving only the habitants of the descendants of the green leaf army who do not have star power. Only a few have star power was not able to defend against the invasion.

Thea manages to escape thanks to Thiberry's help, and then accidentally encounters John and Ave on an alien planet.

Hearing this news, Stella and Sidius realized the great change and great threat at the Inner Ring.

"You rest, it will take some time to recover your body and energy"

"How long will I be in this state?"

"I don't know, it took Stella 200 years to recover her body. With the improvement of the array arrangement, it will probably be faster than that"

"200 years? I can't stay here. My people need your help" Thea pleaded with Sidius.

"Calm down, recover yourself first. We will plan how to save your people."

"Does that mean those who attacked my parents were Zax's troops?" Astrum this time came forward and asked.

"They are actually descended from our army, their souls were sealed and forced to serve Zax"

"Soul Seal?" Stella was very surprised to hear this word.

"Yes, this is Purple Starian's ability. Zax's army was somehow able to use Soul Seals."

Stella sensed that there was a mystery here, she realized that there was no Purple Starian in the squad. She thought about how these troops could use the Purple Starian's ability.

"The soul seal you are referring to is a black leech?" Astrum remembered that Lilo ate the leeches from the previous squad.

"Leech? What kind of leech?" Stella was very curious about the leeches revealed by Astrum.

Then Astrum tells the events on the planet.

Stella realized that this leech was a product of the Purple Starian and that this product was used by Zax's troops to control his subordinates.

"These leeches should be forbidden, why do they have them? We must immediately interrogate the troop leader!" Stella rushed out of the cave.

"Astrum, you take care of your parents' condition here. I will catch up with Stella"

Then Sidius also came out of the cave going towards the plane.

"Hey, we haven't officially gotten to know yet. My name is Astrum and this is Lilo." Astrum introduced himself and Lilo who was always by his side.

"Greetings, you are an Insignia too?" Thea felt that there was star energy in Astrum's body.

"Ah no, I haven't got a star mark"

"Not Insignia? But why is there star energy in you?"

"Uncle said I had to find a Star that matched me"

Thea was confused by the strangeness in Astrum, then she looked at Lilo.

"Your pet is so cute" Thea saw Lilo and felt very cute.

"Sorry, Lilo is not a pet but is my friend"

"Forgive my mistake, I have never found any living beings other than the Green Starian who considers animals as friends. I really respect it"

After getting acquainted, Astrum turned to his parents, he saw that his parents were still recovering.

"Don't worry, your parents will be fine. The recovery energy is going very smoothly." Thea looked at Astrum who was a little restless seeing his parents' condition.

"I sensed that there was an energy residue of yours in my parents, were you the one who helped them before?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry for involving your parents in my fight".

"No problem, I must thank you for your kindness." Astrum bowed and gave a sincere salute.

As he approached the restoration glyph created by Stella, he realized that he had never seen this glyph before. He was curious to study this glyph.

He used his perception to analyze this glyph, and he discovered that this glyph was also an array. Although he can't use glyph arrays yet, he can learn the glyphs from outside the array.

Her consciousness sinking in studying the glyph, Thea saw this even more astonished.

Seeing that someone who wasn't an Insignias could study the glyphs was strange, of course.

After a while, Astrum had finished studying the glyph. He made the glyphs he had studied, the glyphs floated in the air with a transparent color.

Astrum tried these glyphs to blend into the array, seeing this of course Thea was surprised.

"Stop! What are you trying to do?"
