It was about a hundred meters long, its metallic hull shimmering with a faint glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spaceship was indeed something Li Yu had been longing for. Traveling through interstellar space without a suitable vessel was an incredibly uncomfortable experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small smuggling ship they had used previously was simply too dilapidated, leaving him extremely dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this surprise fell somewhat short of Li Yu's expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you not looking forward to the new spaceship?\" Moduo asked in confusion. Whenever she casually browsed the Interstellar Network, she would often see people discussing things like, \"A spaceship is a man's second wife,\" or \"Mechas and warships are a man's true romance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had assumed Li Yu would be thrilled, but his reaction was strangely ambiguous. He didn't seem happy, nor did he seem disappointed; it was an entirely different emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course I am,\" Li Yu nodded, forcing a smile as he gazed at the vessel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of reminiscence appeared in Moduo's eyes. \"It is the Blazing Light Starship. It was a high-end custom build ordered by my father, though it was unfortunately only used a handful of times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a soft hiss, the blast door slid open, and a suspended boarding ramp lowered to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stepped onto the ramp and entered the spaceship. Before them lay a pitch-black corridor. It was only when they took a step forward that the lights along the walls sequentially flared to life, illuminating the path ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the lights, they navigated through winding corridors and passed the bridge. There were quite a few rooms here. After a brief inspection, Li Yu decided to convert a few of the larger ones into eight-person dormitories to accommodate the Esper Group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The technology aboard the ship was highly advanced. Even though it had been manufactured over a decade ago, it still ranked among high-end vessels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its equipped Dark Matter Warp Engine remained a top-tier propulsion system that only premium ships were qualified to install. Both its warp distance and cooldown times far exceeded those of lower-grade engines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the propulsion engine used for conventional spaceflight was the Flowing Light class from Kamon Aerospace Corporation. Its current manufacturing cost was around four hundred million Star Coins, which meant it would have easily cost over a billion a decade ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Ionic Energy Reaction Furnace powered the entire vessel, and its weapon system was the complete Spear of Argos set—one of Opto-Electric Technology's premium offensive setups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their final destination was the ship's cockpit. It was completely empty, with only the console buttons emitting a faint, eerie red glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most eye-catching feature was a Red Crystal Orb sitting in the center. Its light flickered intermittently, much like an unstable lightbulb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moduo calmly walked over and placed her hand on the orb.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a bizarre scene unfolded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every light on the spaceship flared on simultaneously, bathing the cockpit in a brilliant glow as the crystal orb radiated dazzling light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Authority authentication activated. Mental verification passed. Welcome back, Princess Imperial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless streaks of crimson light materialized out of thin air, converging in front of them to form a glowing humanoid figure with obscured facial features.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My child, you have finally returned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you?\" Moduo reached out to touch the figure of light, appearing somewhat bewildered. However, her hand passed right through it, meeting no physical resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu narrowed his eyes, observing closely to confirm that this sudden apparition was merely a holographic projection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure's features gradually sharpened. It was an imposing middle-aged man with natural curls, draped in a crimson cloak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father!\" Moduo's eyes widened in shock as she cried out. A myriad of complex emotions surged in her heart. She could not help but reach out again, only for her fingers to phase right through the hologram.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ankebolun opened his arms, pulling Moduo into an illusory embrace. \"You have grown,\" he sighed with deep emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu studied the man, uncertain whether this was a pre-recorded program or a projection left behind by mental power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ankebolun's tone was incredibly calm. \"It has been ten years, seven months, and three days since you departed. You have suffered greatly over such a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moduo's lips trembled slightly. For the longest time, she had dreamed of two blurry figures standing in the sunlight, yet those joyful laughs and radiant colors always descended into blood and agonizing screams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you have made it here, there are certain things you must know.\" Ankebolun only displayed emotional fluctuations at the very beginning; now, he spoke methodically, much like a computer program.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Stone Palace is the Sacred Temple of Blazing Eye Star. When the Star Glory Empire first discovered our world and forcefully elevated our technology to the interstellar average, the Blazing Eye Race hid this palace away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, this was the fate of many colonial planets under the Star Glory Empire. Their native technology was often underdeveloped, but upon discovery, they were forcibly uplifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, many critics condemned the Star Glory Empire, arguing that such actions erased the autonomy and independence of native civilizations, making it nearly impossible for them to develop their own unique potential and technological paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the Star Glory Empire did not care in the slightest, merely dialing back their actions on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Through this Stone Palace—or more accurately, through that Stone Cat Statue—members of the Blazing Eye Race can be transformed into special biological entities, allowing their lifeforms to evolve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, this power is limited. That being said, after accumulating for such a long time, the stone cat should possess a substantial reserve of energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You mean the Blazing Eye Warriors!?\" Moduo realized instantly. She turned to explain to Li Yu, \"They represent the absolute peak of our race's combat power. A Blazing Eye Warrior gains a physical body as formidable as their mental power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me guess, are they ranked into Gold, Silver, and Bronze?\" Li Yu quipped sarcastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Moduo shook her head in confusion. \"No, we classify them as squad members, captains, and commanders.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu fell silent, choosing not to dwell on the joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the power prepared specifically for Moduo. There were also plenty of weapons stored in the other Side Halls. Once the transformation was complete, they would become an incredibly formidable fighting force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately... when facing the Morgan Family, they would only stand a chance if the entire Blazing Eye Race was transformed into warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this is...\" Ankebolun shifted his gaze to Li Yu. His previously programmatic eyes instantly took on a scrutinizing glare, perfectly resembling an overprotective father-in-law sizing up his daughter's suitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'You are just an artificial intelligence program, do you really need to be this dramatic?' Li Yu thought to himself before giving a brief introduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Li Yu. Nice to meet you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu had no desire to waste breath on this AI. Fortunately, Moduo had also calmed down, fully aware that this was merely a program and not her actual father.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she had momentarily lost control at the start, she had now reigned in her emotions. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she commanded, \"I wish to transfer control authority.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Warning. Once control authority is transferred, the process cannot be reversed. Do you wish to proceed?\" A mechanical warning echoed through the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Confirm transfer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Authority has been restarted. Please proceed with mental verification immediately.\" Moduo gestured for Li Yu to step up to the Red Crystal Orb and place his hand upon it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Top-tier starships did not rely on fingerprints, retinal scans, or even genetic verification. Instead, they utilized mental fluctuation verification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mind had always been the most enigmatic domain. Since mental fluctuations were practically impossible to replicate, this method served as the absolute safest form of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, being coerced was a different matter entirely, as no verification method in the universe could prevent a forced handover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mental fluctuation verified. Authority successfully transferred. Welcome, new Captain,\" the mechanical voice reverberated through the cockpit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following standard procedure, Li Yu immediately swapped out the AI, allowing Claptrap to seize control of the ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, the data reserves on this vessel are quite massive. I will need some time to integrate and process them,\" Claptrap reported.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem,\" Li Yu nodded. Having fulfilled his sole purpose, Ankebolun's projection remained completely silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should we do with him?\" Li Yu asked, glancing at the hologram.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moduo wore a complex expression, a myriad of thoughts racing through her mind. Ultimately, she shook her head. \"He is just a program. Let us just leave him be for now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu agreed, and the two promptly exited the spaceship. Outside, Tim was waiting with a terrible look on his face, closely guarded by Simon and Tuya.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he saw Li Yu emerge, he panicked. \"The High Priest has arrived!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pucha...\" Li Yu's expression shifted slightly. According to Tim's earlier account, even a decade ago, High Priest Pucha had already achieved commander-level mental power, making him a B-Tier Lifeform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, after ten years of serving the Morgan Family, he had long surpassed the commander stage and possessed A-grade Mental Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An entity wielding A-grade Mental Power commanded immense respect; even Hel, the Holy Maiden of the Lady of the Night, would have to address him deferentially as Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is he right now?\" Li Yu demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do not know! Even though I gave those watchers a fake location, the forces Pucha brought with him are on a completely different level!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tim was sick with anxiety. Under Li Yu's coercion, he had essentially betrayed Pucha. If the High Priest found him, he would suffer a fate worse than death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It is only a matter of time before he discovers the entrance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moduo could not help but interject, \"Why don't you stay here? Given your biological composition, you could survive just by absorbing the energy from the magma.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once I fully finish my assimilation and master my massive mental power, I certainly will not fear Pucha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this suggestion, Tim mentally cheered. Even before the fall of Blazing Eye Star, High Priest Pucha had always been an existence towering above ordinary members of their race.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu turned to look at Moduo. She appeared highly conflicted, having just realized upon finishing her sentence that Hunter was still on the ship outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Li Yu refused to leave, once Pucha scoured the entire planet, Hunter and the rest of the crew on the surface would undoubtedly be slaughtered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were up against High Priest Pucha—an expert with A-grade Mental Power. How could Li Yu possibly match him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go and merge with the power of the Ghost God Orb first,\" Li Yu consoled, dodging the question entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moduo pursed her lips, already guessing his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simon could not hold back either. \"Pucha is far too powerful. There is no need to clash with him head-on right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He might not have been the brightest, but he remembered that Li Yu had saved his life, and he had no desire to watch his savior throw his life away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tuya remained utterly unresponsive. She would only speak up if Moduo also planned to go outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why must you go out there...\" Tim started, but froze under Li Yu's icy glare, too terrified to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you die, I will avenge you,\" Moduo declared, her unwavering gaze leaving no doubt about her absolute resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys have way too little faith in me...\" Li Yu shook his head with a soft chuckle, feigning deep thought. \"I am just wondering how many of my trump cards he will force me to use.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tim felt like he was having a mental breakdown. Exactly how arrogant was this guy? That was the High Priest! An entity that had transcended their race's ultimate commander stage!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a handful of legendary figures recorded in the annals of Blazing Eye history had ever reached such heights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moduo knew she could neither sway Li Yu's decision nor offer him any assistance. She was forced to just watch helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had had enough of this sheer powerlessness. Her eyes grew firm as she gave Li Yu one final, deep look before resolutely marching out of the Side Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casting a passing glance at the frantic Tim, Li Yu followed suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, when Simon and Tuya learned about the Blazing Eye Warriors, they were visibly thrilled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is how the Blazing Eye Warriors are born...\" Simon clenched his fists tightly. He had witnessed the warriors in action before—unmatched in their raw power, perfectly compensating for their race's notoriously frail physiques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their physical composition was incredibly unique. Perhaps due to the cat's influence, they experienced an extreme rejection of any Foreign Gene Chain, resulting in a staggering 95% Genetic Mutation rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of this, they were entirely incapable of strengthening themselves by integrating foreign DNA.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moduo was by no means an indecisive person. Had she been, she never would have survived drifting through interstellar space for a decade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having made her choice, she abandoned all hesitation. Under Li Yu's watchful gaze, she stepped into the emerald beam of light. The radiance intensified and expanded rapidly, enveloping all the members of the Blazing Eye Race present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They gradually lost gravity and floated into the air, as if merging into the Stone Cat Statue. Right at that moment, Li Yu delivered a swift flying kick, launching Tim straight out of the green light's radius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tim wailed in pain, utterly bewildered. Just a second ago, he had been basking in a warm, comforting embrace, only to be struck by sudden agony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring at the others bathed in the light, he could not help but cast an envious glare. He desperately wanted to join them and complete this glorious evolution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, with Li Yu standing guard, there was absolutely no chance of him slipping back in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The emerald glow slowly receded as the Blazing Eye tribesmen fully merged into the stone sculpture, returning the grand hall to a dead silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu stared blankly ahead, muttering, \"I thought I'd get a goodbye kiss or something at least... Sigh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pondered whether Moduo simply hadn't thought of it. He would definitely have to drop some heavy hints in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Hmm... next time, I'll have Claptrap push some dirty jokes to her Smart Terminal...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu casually jotted the idea down in his memos, just in case he forgot by the time she emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What... why not take the initiative? What kind of proper gentleman takes the initiative? A true gentleman acts completely clueless when the girl throws herself at him.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go. Maybe we'll get lucky and the High Priest hasn't found the entrance yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu returned to the Side Hall, dragged out the Blazing Light Starship, and hoisted it up as he marched back the way they came. The crimson vortex at the entrance had not yet dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tim wore a miserable expression, practically looking back with every step he took. He truly did not want to march to his doom! He wanted to stay right here; he absolutely refused to follow this lunatic!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he had no choice in the matter. In his despairing eyes, a vivid scene began to form: High Priest Pucha standing before him as he knelt on the ground, surrounded by the butchered corpses of his comrades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Priest would ask if he wanted to live or die, and he would choose to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If given another chance to choose... the flames of rebellion flickered in Tim's heart, only to instantly snuff out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would still choose to live. After all, if he had picked the alternative, he would have already been dead for five or six years.\u003C\u002Fp>",2635,"2026-06-05T20:43:33.579Z",1,"novelbin.me","21ee2aa8f3fab5d7fcf13c0d4c9556a063812836dc2808a091c3f676a521032f","fortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--chapter-195","fortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--chapter-193",883,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--cover.jpg"]
