Chapter 176: Crushed!!

Nobus wasn't the only one astonished; Boiling Blood, standing not far away, was equally shocked. Staring at that familiar Ship-breaking Blade, an unbelievable thought surfaced in his mind.

"You're Gelo!?"

"Congratulations, you guessed right. Too bad there's no prize." Li Yu shrugged. "I am Gelo, or rather, everyone is Gelo."

The Titan Symbiotic Armor rippled over his body like water, and the familiar appearance of the armor entered Boiling Blood's sight.

"How is that possible? He's clearly a Prismatic Yellow-Eye..." Halfway through his sentence, he froze. He had never actually seen the person beneath the armor.

He had merely made an assumption, and the conclusion he had so firmly believed in turned out to be completely false.

"Heh..." Boiling Blood suddenly let out a cold sneer. "It doesn't matter anymore. Whether you're Gelo or Li Yu, you're a dead man today."

Even though that idiot Nobus had carelessly been killed, Boiling Blood did not believe this guy could take on three fully armed B-Tier Lifeforms.

The two Black-Armored Men silently stepped forward to stand alongside Boiling Blood. Li Yu's priority had now surpassed their current mission.

"Ten billion Star Coins... no one could ignore that." The armor all over Boiling Blood's body roared continuously. Although he was prepared to fight, the incessant stabbing pain in his head made it difficult for him to fully enter a combat state.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The other two Black-Armored Men wasted no time on idle chatter. They charged straight at him, the electromagnetic amplifiers on their fists running at maximum capacity. Black, spiral metal spikes protracted from their knuckles, spinning continuously.

A dense flurry of fists slammed heavily into Li Yu time and time again. The spinning metal spikes ground against the purple light shield of the Titan Symbiotic Armor, sending blinding sparks flying.

Li Yu seemed unable to react. Like a man at the end of his rope, he was besieged and treated like a punching bag. The two Black-Armored Men's attacks were incredibly devastating, packing enough power to blow an ordinary spaceship to pieces.

However, after beating on him for quite a while, the two Black-Armored Men finally noticed something was wrong.

How could they have been hitting him for so long without hearing a single scream?

"Hmm? Why did you stop? That was a pretty good massage. What are your employee numbers? I'll book you guys again next time," Li Yu teased.

It wasn't until he became a B-Tier Lifeform that he could finally unleash the true power of the Titan Symbiotic Armor.

The light shield, acquired from devouring the Purple Gold Ore Core, was capable of mitigating more than half the attack power of a B-Tier Lifeform.

In the past, because he was only a C-Tier Lifeform, he hadn't dared to withstand too many hits even with the attacks heavily weakened.

He had even avoided direct confrontations most of the time. But now that he had advanced to a B-Tier Lifeform as well, he was completely fearless. Once weakened by the Titan Symbiotic Armor, those attacks felt like nothing more than a massage.

Though he looked battered and bruised while being treated like a punching bag, he hadn't suffered any actual damage whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Mo Duo, who had been gritting her teeth and holding on, had now spectacularly fainted. Even with the Amplification from the Ghost God Orb, controlling B-Tier Lifeforms was still a bit too taxing for her current level.

"What the hell are you two doing?" Boiling Blood sensed that something was off. Were these two just putting on a show?

As the piercing pain in his mind gradually faded, he joined the fray.

And so, the three of them unwillingly resumed using Li Yu as a punching bag. No matter how much they intensified their attacks, they couldn't pose any threat to Li Yu, nor could they even break through the defenses of that bizarre armor.

The few onlookers surrounding them were horrified and in utter disbelief. Even Hunter, who had been by Li Yu's side this entire time, widened his eyes in shock.

Mangu's eyes looked as though they were about to pop out of his head. 'What the hell is this thing? How can he be so strong?'

Kansa was beyond thrilled. The backer he had chosen to latch onto was incredibly powerful!

With another strike, Li Yu was sent flying, crashing into the ground and forming a large crater. However, Boiling Blood and the other two did not pursue him. Instead, they stood far away, watching Li Yu with bewildered suspicion.

"Are you done? Then it's my turn..." Li Yu bounced on his toes a couple of times as the gray Ship-breaking Blade extended outward.

It was a turn-based battle, and now it was his turn to attack!

Right at that moment, Boiling Blood activated his armor's Overload Mode. His leg armor spewed blazing fire, instantly crushing the already devastated floor beneath his feet.

Like a streak of light, he used his supreme explosive power to charge in front of Li Yu in an almost teleportation-like manner. Arcs of electricity shot into the sky from his body, and the immense power generated by the vortex turbochargers converged on his four fists, radiating a blinding light.

"I said... it's my turn now!" Li Yu gripped the gray Ship-breaking Blade, which gradually shifted into a blinding, crimson red as he raised it high.

The blue Cube emblem on the chest of the Titan Symbiotic Armor flickered erratically as terrifying amounts of energy were drawn out. Surging blue energy dissipated into the air, and the white cape fluttered behind his back. Overload Mode? Who didn't have that!?

Empowered by the twenty percent Amplification in strength from his Wanted Person title, coupled with the Titan Symbiotic Armor's Overload Mode, even Li Yu himself didn't know just how much destructive power he could unleash.

Bang!! The blade swung down!

A radiant purple light flared like a miniature sun. Boiling Blood's vision blurred, and the next thing he knew, Li Yu was rapidly receding into the distance.

Immediately after, a violently jarring impact struck his back. His entire body crashed through several layers of flooring, plummeting endlessly until Li Yu was nothing more than a tiny speck in his field of view.

This single strike had directly blasted Boiling Blood from the fourth floor all the way down into the solid metal foundation of the Inuit Hub.

The Interstellar Travelers staying on the lower floors were left dumbfounded. Completely oblivious to what had just happened, they stared blankly at the gaping holes in their ceilings, and then at the corresponding holes in their floors.

The armor on Boiling Blood's chest was completely torn open. The twisted exterior metal plating sputtered with electrical sparks, and a massive, bone-deep gash had been carved into his flesh.

His arms had also been severed, wildly spewing out massive amounts of blood. He lay completely motionless inside a crater on the ground.

He still hadn't processed what had just happened. How was he cleaved all the way down here?

With his most prized weapon in Li Yu's hands, more than half of his combat effectiveness had already been crippled. How could he possibly be a match for Li Yu?

"Goodbye..." Li Yu stood at the edge of the shattered floor. His right hand transformed into an Energy Cannon, aiming straight at Boiling Blood's chest as a deep blue energy flared to life.

Boiling Blood's pupils contracted. He seemed to want to resist, but the agonizing pain wracking his body made it impossible for him to move even an inch.

Vzzzt!

The deep blue beam of light struck like a long spear, mercilessly piercing into Boiling Blood's body. The energy sizzled as it ground against his flesh, pooling into a hemispherical glow before violently detonating.

Armor fragments scattered in all directions. As for his flesh and blood, not a single trace could be found.

"Your turn..." Li Yu raised his head to look at the two Black-Armored Men.

His movements had been incredibly swift. From slashing Boiling Blood into the ground to delivering the final blow, no more than a few dozen seconds had passed.

These men were mass-produced products to begin with. Whether it was their Gene Chains or their external armor, everything was standardized. Their individual combat strength wasn't very high, as they fundamentally relied on sheer numbers to overwhelm their enemies.

Now, they were naturally even less of a match for Li Yu. Without expending much effort, he swiftly finished off the two Black-Armored Men.

Li Yu had originally intended to keep them alive to interrogate them for information.

Unfortunately, as soon as the two realized they were no match for him, they decisively committed suicide, leaving Li Yu with absolutely no chance for an interrogation.
