Many more vessels patrolled the sky above, keeping a strict watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A temporary Command Console had already been assembled here, combining various cutting-edge instruments. A massive Holographic Screen was divided into multiple sections, each displaying a barrage of video feeds and data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Near the Crimson-Gold Gateway, the surrounding sand churned relentlessly. The enormous portal trembled without pause, seemingly trying to sink into the depths of the desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, giant Black Chains tightly bound the gateway. Eight massive Mechanical Winch Pillars were being pulled outward by dozens of spaceships, forcibly holding the Crimson-Gold Gateway in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Command Console area, over a dozen Blazing Eye Clan members knelt on the ground, trembling like leaves in the wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seated at the head was a white-haired old man dressed in a luxurious crimson robe. He held a Brownish-Yellow Wooden Staff topped with a dazzling red crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him stood four burly armored figures. All four were humanoid, but their exact species remained a mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What were my initial orders to you?\" the old man asked, his voice calm. Yet, to the kneeling figures, his words hit like a sudden clap of thunder. A few at the very back even fainted outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This alone was enough to illustrate the sheer terror in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, those are indeed unforeseen circumstances,\" the old man sighed deeply. \"But isn't your very existence meant to solve such unforeseen circumstances?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just watched helplessly as our esteemed Princess Imperial stepped into the Planetary Core, depriving me of the chance to even see her face.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splat! Splat! Splat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three distinct noises, sounding much like bursting watermelons, echoed by the Captain's ears. He felt something wet splatter across his face. His stomach churned, but he did not dare show the slightest bit of disgust. Instead, he hastily pleaded,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord... My Lord, Tim betrayed you! Our tracking failed, and we couldn't have stopped them even if we tried. The Princess Imperial's bodyguards are incredibly powerful, we truly did our best!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did not foresee Tim's betrayal...\" The old man closed his eyes, his tone echoing with a haunting depth. \"That is my own fault.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No... no...\" the Captain frantically shook his head. \"It is not your fault, Tim simply didn't know what was good for him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Splat! Splat! Splat! Splat! Splat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The continuous series of ruptures pushed the Captain's terror to its absolute peak. His inner panic was beyond measure; this agonizing wait for his own demise was far more terrifying than death itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is the background of the man who returned alongside the Princess Imperial?\" the old man asked breezily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I don't know...\" The Captain trembled, shaking his head before hurriedly adding, \"But his Jalopy Spaceship has been under my surveillance this whole time. It seems there are quite a few people aboard.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I was unsure of the enemy's true strength, I didn't make a move to avoid alerting the enemy, which might have caused them to flee prematurely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lay prostrate on the ground. Despite being frightened out of his wits, all he could do was wait for judgment to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At least you managed to do one thing right. The number of our tribesmen is dwindling, so I will spare your life this time.\" The old man's withered, bark-like hands patted the Captain's shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light tap carried no physical force, yet it made the Captain feel as though a mountain had crashed down upon him, forcing him to press himself flat against the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring him, the old man walked straight ahead, followed closely by the four armored figures behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He arrived before the giant Crimson-Gold Gateway and stroked the door's surface with both hands. The icy touch made him draw a deep breath as he slowly pressed his cheek against it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why? Why won't you acknowledge me? Is it simply because I lack the Divine Blood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man murmured to himself, his murky red eyes having long since lost their luster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"High Priest Pucha, is there truly no other way to enter?\" one of the armored figures behind him inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their status was clearly quite high. Pucha pulled away from the giant crimson-gold door and sighed. \"One must possess the Divine Blood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Ankebolun lineage was able to rule the Blazing Eye Clan precisely because they possess that Divine Blood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let's dig down. Since they are in the Planetary Core, we will find them sooner or later,\" another figure suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pucha shook his head. \"Digging through to the Planetary Core would require massive manpower and resources. Such a huge commotion would definitely attract the attention of the Morgan Family. I spent a great deal of effort just to get here without arousing their suspicion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pucha had considered many methods long ago, but none of them could bypass the Morgan Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had only been ten years since the destruction of the Blazing Eye Star, and the Morgan Family still maintained a very high interest in researching the Blazing Eye Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, since someone went inside this time, someone will inevitably come out. As long as we keep a close watch on this door, our efforts will be rewarded sooner or later.\" Pucha's inner resolve was as deep as the wrinkles on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whether it takes one year, ten years, or twenty years, I can wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right at that moment, the crimson-gold door vibrated violently. Reflected in Pucha's shrinking pupils, the massive gateway slowly began to open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, it's opening,\" someone pointed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, hurry... the winches! Hold the door open, we absolutely cannot let it close!\" Pucha bellowed, a colossal surge of energy erupting from his frail, thin body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A metallic bow slowly extended from within the giant Crimson-Gold Gateway, followed by the hull. Under the dumbfounded gazes of the nearby staff members, a massive spaceship was pushed out in a completely illogical manner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rumble!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sand and dust billowed into the air. In the next instant, the scepter in Pucha's hand emitted a radiant glow. A terrifying, invisible force descended, instantly suppressing the rising clouds of dust back to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing at the stern of the ship, Li Yu keenly sensed a peculiar power spreading through the void. It was a blend of Mental Power mixed with the energy of the red crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt similar to Telekinesis, but its core nature was entirely different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quite the spectacle...\" Li Yu glanced around. Every single surveillance camera was focused on him, and his face appeared across all the Holographic Screens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's him, High Priest! That's him, he's the one the Princess Imperial brought back!\" the Captain roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's him. He is High Priest Pucha!\" Tim also whispered, standing beside Li Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His Energy Level Reaction is being masked, so we can't determine his exact strength, but he shouldn't be an A-Tier Lifeform.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massive amounts of data began to analyze Li Yu, cross-referencing his image across various databases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu glanced back at the Crimson-Gold Gateway, which was tightly bound by the chains. The door leaves had been forced apart by giant mechanical hooks, exposing the delicate passageway within. Dozens of spaceships were providing the winching power—an extremely brutal setup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must thank you,\" Pucha said, his eyes burning as he stared at the crimson passageway. He was incredibly impatient to step inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're not thinking of going inside, are you?\" Li Yu decided to ask the obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pucha completely ignored him. Instead, he ordered a few nearby staff members to scout the way ahead. Despite his intense excitement, he remained remarkably cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang! Bang! Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three shots rang out in quick succession. Those staff members, who were merely playing a minor role, had barely taken a single step before they collapsed dead into the desert sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tim's heart instantly leapt into his throat. He cursed furiously in his mind, 'Couldn't you just stand there and watch? Why do you have to provoke them?!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ignoring me like that isn't very polite, is it?\" Li Yu looked at Pucha as the Energy Firearms in his hands retracted back into his armguards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Pucha cast his cloudy gaze upon Li Yu, looking somewhat perplexed. \"Who... are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no disdain in his voice, only genuine confusion. Yet those three simple words conveyed absolute disregard to the fullest extent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu was slightly taken aback. Then, the corners of his mouth stretched wide, flashing his bright white teeth. He burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind. No matter who you are, since you came out from inside, there is no need to find scouts anymore.\" Pucha shook his head, his dim crimson eyes faintly glowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu's pupils shrank. He could feel an incredibly terrifying surge of overwhelming Mental Power crashing toward him like a tidal wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his current Mental Power was a puddle on the street, then the opponent's was an entire ocean. They weren't on the same magnitude at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Pucha merely wanted to know what lay behind the gateway and wasn't aiming to destroy his mind. The scepter Emblem on Li Yu's chest flared with light, forcibly granting him immunity to the mind control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\" Pucha furrowed his brow, completely bewildered. Why had his Mental Power suddenly vanished?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party's Mental Power was not strong. Even if his lifeform level had reached the B-Class, it should be impossible for him to break free from his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu knew he couldn't let Pucha strike a second time. The next attack wouldn't necessarily be an attempt at control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled a green question mark symbol from his chest pocket and crushed it directly. Luminescence flickered as inexplicable information surfaced in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green light bypassed everything and shot straight into Pucha's mind. Pucha stiffened slightly. He felt that his condition was somewhat strange, but he couldn't quite articulate why.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you... have a problem?\" Pucha frowned, blurting the words out without even knowing why he was asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Riddle Challenge from the Riddler was immensely powerful, but it came with numerous restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The riddle presented had to have a definitive answer, and the number of correct answers had to be finite; riddles with infinite possibilities were forbidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, given Pucha's formidable Mental Power, practically no riddle could stump him. Even if one did, he could easily solve it with the help of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Li Yu wasn't worried in the slightest. The riddle he was about to present would trap Pucha completely; no matter what the High Priest did, he would never be able to solve it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pucha, let me ask you: What are the names of Earth's seven continents?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pucha froze momentarily before furrowing his brows deeply. He was instantly thrown into a brainstorming frenzy. 'What place is Earth? What are the seven continents? What names?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a question of the utmost simplicity, yet Li Yu was absolutely certain that no one in this Universe could possibly answer it. If someone could actually solve it, then dealing with Pucha would be the least of his worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, Pucha ceased all movement. He stood rooted to the spot, lost in silent thought, as if everything around him had ceased to exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"High Priest Pucha!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four armored figures beside Pucha called out to him. They still had no idea what was happening. Why did it look as though High Priest Pucha had simply crashed and frozen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you do to High Priest Pucha?\" one of them barked in a questioning tone, unwilling to believe that this was Li Yu's doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the irrefutable truth was that Pucha had become like this immediately after Li Yu asked that bizarre question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just asked a simple question. Who knew he wouldn't be able to answer? Perhaps he's suffering from Senile Dementia,\" Li Yu shrugged, pretending to be helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tim never expected Li Yu to actually have a method to deal with Pucha. He was excited beyond belief; this was truly a mighty backer to cling to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four armored guards were exceedingly vigilant. Such means filled them with apprehension. If even High Priest Pucha had fallen prey to it, how much worse would it be for them?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nearby staff members stared with wide eyes. That was High Priest Pucha—a figure whom leaders of numerous civilizations treated with the utmost respect. How could he suddenly get Senile Dementia?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ship-breaking Blade in Li Yu's hand glowed crimson, its sharpness ascending to another level. With just two swift slashes, he severed the chains that had bound the crimson-gold doors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having lost its restraints, the giant Crimson-Gold Gateway immediately slammed shut. Li Yu prepared to swing a few more times to cut the rest of the chains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\" One of the figures couldn't hold back any longer. The armor covering his body exploded outward as wild energy surged from his frame. Like a falling meteor, he charged straight at Li Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anderson, be careful!\" someone warned, as Li Yu's previous methods had left them utterly bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu extended his arm and lightly stomped his foot. Massive amounts of sand surged upward, wrapping around a torrent of Magma. Traveling along his arm, it formed a massive, hundred-meter-wide Magma fist crackling with crimson Electric Arcs, which hammered forward to meet Anderson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anderson's muscles swelled grotesquely, unexpectedly sprouting grayish-white hair. His head morphed into a hideous form resembling an ape, completely shrouded in a fiery aura of white energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant magma fist was instantly pierced through, leaving behind a human-shaped hole. Anderson's momentum did not wane as he slammed his fist right into Li Yu's chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dazzling purple light bloomed. Li Yu was forced backward in a straight line before his body shuddered, finally stabilizing himself in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Genetic Mutation Evolution Body...\" Li Yu narrowed his eyes. He had run into another fanatic who gambled with their life. Those who fought using Gene Chain mutations possessed combat power far surpassing other lifeforms of the same tier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they were also incredibly dangerous to themselves. One careless mistake, and they might never revert to their original form, losing their own consciousness entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that all you've got?\" Anderson sneered. His apprehension towards Li Yu evaporated instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why talk so much trash during a fight?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Yu shook his head. Activating the combat mode of the Titan Colonization Armor, the Splinter Deployment Armor transformed into an Energy Cannon turret aimed directly at Anderson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'That method he used against High Priest Pucha can't possibly be used repeatedly!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought flashed through Anderson's mind as rich energy erupted from his body. Facing the sky full of incoming energy attacks, he pushed both palms forward. The dense energy coalesced into a thick white beam that shot toward Li Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overwhelming barrage of energy blasts was completely blasted apart. Black energy crystals writhed across the surface of the Titan Colonization Armor, forming a Shield that forcefully withstood Anderson's beam, stopping its advance entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Electric Arcs flickered faintly within Li Yu's eyes. In the next moment, he waved his hand, extracting energy from the Cube Power. The Splinter Deployment Armor spawned even more Energy Firearms, all of which opened fire simultaneously, unleashing a devastating assault on Anderson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A fierce battle explosively commenced!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive deluge of energy attacks submerged Anderson. Tens of thousands of energy beams crisscrossed like an impenetrable net, hurtling toward him in an endless wave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many surrounding spaceships that hadn't activated their energy shields were pierced right through, detonating on the spot. The continuous bombardments echoed unceasingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast majority of the energy attacks were like mere scratches to Anderson. In a B-Class Lifeform battle, ordinary energy attacks could only serve to harass and restrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Splinter Deployment Armor was also firing a multitude of special energy attacks, and even an occasionally fully-charged heavy cannon blast mixed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the torrential onslaught of energy, Anderson had no choice but to dodge. Being focus-fired upon was incredibly troublesome, even for him.\u003C\u002Fp>",2677,"2026-06-05T20:43:33.579Z",1,"novelbin.me","a1fc6d2de978399f4d5b557ec23f89cb870db10b823a95248914c0a80421fa83","fortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--chapter-196","fortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--chapter-194",883,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffortunately-my-clones-can-be-deployed-to-myriad--cover.jpg"]
