Chapter 240: On the Damage of a Big Slap to an A-Tier Lifeform

Due to the time spent tangling with Strength King earlier, plus the duration of Laser Man's Light Beam, the duration of the [Lazarus Pit] had already passed.

And he was, without suspense, annihilated in the Energy Beam. However, [Near-Death Rebirth] was triggered as a result, directly restoring him to full health.

Not only that, the moment Li Yu revived, he felt a terrifying power brewing within his body, squeezing his cell potential, extracting every ounce of Strength.

This was the effect of the [Golden Blood Talent]. Because he was continuously injured just now, the [Golden Blood Talent] was also taking effect. However, the [Golden Blood Talent] was not an unreasonable System product.

Even if it could enhance Strength in battle, the source of the Strength still came from his physical body.

Earlier, although his health was locked, his body couldn't squeeze out any extra Strength. It wasn't until now, when he recovered to full condition, that the [Golden Blood Talent] began to extract Strength from his body.

Purple-gold Electric Arcs surged around him, his pupils turned pale gold, his muscles bulged, and explosive power gave him a stifling feeling of having nowhere to vent.

Smack!

A crisp sound echoed across the silent Earth, and Laser Man flew backward from where he stood.

Was this getting a big slap?

"Not... not dead?!"

Max was incredibly excited, tugging at Edwin beside him. Bart's eyes widened, unable to accept it.

"I saw it." Edwin clenched his fists, looking at Li Yu standing at the edge of the crater. His well-proportioned muscles had a sense of aesthetic beauty, purple-gold Electric Arcs lingered around him, and his gaze was incredibly sharp.

This scene was highly impactful, striking deeply into everyone's hearts.

"Fuck, it's fractured." Li Yu held his left hand. He had used too much force, and his arm couldn't bear it, fracturing directly.

Good thing the opponent was Laser Man. If it were Strength King, whether he would fly backward or not was another story.

On his back, the single remaining piece of the [Titan Colonization Armor] was slowly regenerating.

After this strike, Li Yu felt incredibly weak, as if he had just slept with a hundred women in one night, almost falling directly to the Ground.

Because just now, almost all the Strength in his body had been extracted, resulting in this astonishing scene.

Whoosh—Bang!

Laser Man crashed into the Ruins, still somewhat unrecovered, his eyes a bit dazed.Who am I? Where am I? What happened?

"How long are you going to lie there?" A muffled voice came. The Ruins were kicked away, and Strength King's figure looked down at Laser Man.

He had already faded from the Blood Ape state, his whole body covered in bloodstains, also looking quite miserable.

Laser Man unconsciously got up and touched his right cheek, where it felt somewhat swollen and burning.Was I slapped?

"It's time to retreat. Return Star's reinforcements have arrived; if we don't leave now, we won't be able to," Strength King regained his composure and said in a deep voice.

I was slapped by a B-Tier Lifeform?

"Your face?" Strength King asked in confusion. He didn't know what had happened; he only saw Laser Man shoot back like a bullet.

"What's wrong with my face?" Laser Man asked subconsciously.

"There's a handprint..." someone nearby reminded. It was the Gold-Scaled Fishman. He was also very miserable, the scales in many places on his body having shattered off, panting heavily.

"Handprint!?" Laser Man shuddered, instantly waking up.

"Li Yu!"

He let out an angry shout, his eyes cold as ice. Strength King was somewhat surprised; it was Li Yu who slapped him?

Instantly... the feeling of shame from failing to kill Li Yu just now vanished into thin air. There was someone more embarrassed than him, having a handprint left on his face.

"Li Yu?" Hearing this name not far away, Olivia frowned slightly. Looking at the handprint on Laser Man's face, her eyes trembled slightly, as if guessing something.

"Why is he howling Li Yu's name?" Kieg muttered beside her. Behind them... the massive Ocean Rose had deployed its Shield, protecting them within.

They were no longer in danger.

"That slap was left by Li Yu." A strange color appeared on Olivia's face as she affirmed.

"What? How is that possible!?" Kieg instinctively disbelieved, but looking at Olivia's certain gaze, his voice gradually lowered, somewhat incredulous.

"Warning, this is Return Star's Third Patrol Fleet. A-Tier Lifeforms below, please cease your resistance, otherwise we will initiate an attack."

"Warning, this is Return Star's Fifth Patrol Fleet. A-Tier Lifeforms below, please cease your resistance, otherwise we will initiate an attack."

"Warning, this is the Vitel Guard Fleet. A-Tier Lifeforms below, please cease your resistance, otherwise we will initiate an attack."

In the distant orbit, the massive fleet issued warnings. Return Star's reinforcements had finally arrived.

"Lord, the Space Blocking Device is taking shape, please leave as soon as possible," a frantic warning came through the Earpiece.

Facing the massive Return Star Fleet, even if Laser Man was more impulsive, he knew they couldn't delay any longer.

Once the blocking device took shape, they would truly be A Rat In A Trap.

The mission had completely failed. Laser Man almost bit his teeth to pieces. Who would have thought that the two of them, A-Tier Lifeforms, wouldn't be able to deal with one B-Tier Lifeform.

Taking out a Black Orb from his Compressed Space, he threw it directly onto the ground, and an unstable spatial portal gradually took shape.

"Not good, it's a Single-Soldier Teleportation Device, attack!" In the fleet, a commander noticed something amiss and immediately issued an order.

However, there was no problem for Strength King and Laser Man to jointly protect a teleportation device. A massive amount of attacks were neutralized by the two until the teleportation device took shape.

"Not going to play a bit longer? Maybe you'll kill me?"

Max and the others supported Li Yu as they walked over from a distance. As he spoke, he crushed a black Batarang that no one could see.

[Special Item - Batman's Plan Tracking: After locking onto a target, you can locate the target's position at any time, and when facing the target, Strength increases by 50%.]

He locked onto Laser Man. This grudge was settled; the other party probably wouldn't let it go, especially the Laser Man who received a big slap. It would be strange if he didn't think about killing Li Yu.

Hearing Li Yu's words, Laser Man's expression darkened...Next time, I will definitely satisfy you!

Then he walked into the portal without looking back.

Seeing the two really leave, Li Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief. The dual exhaustion of mind and body made him plop down onto the ground.

Edwin looked around. The Flying Ball Stadium had become a pile of Ruins, and the number of casualties hadn't been tallied yet.

But it definitely wouldn't be small. Conservatively estimated, the casualties were at least ten million or more.

Edwin stood nearby, looking at Li Yu lying on the Ground with a complex expression, the shock in his heart overflowing like a raging tide.

Two A-Tier Lifeforms besieged a B-Tier Lifeform to no avail, even got slapped in the face, and finally were forced to retreat, returning in defeat...

He could imagine how huge a sensation this news would cause in the coming period of time!

At this time, Flying Vehicles descended from the sky and slowly landed. The commanders of the three fleets strode over with a group of Subordinates.

"We are late, they escaped. How is the situation here? Is Olivia alright?"

Saying so, the fleet commanders subconsciously looked at the huge crater blasted out by Laser Man.

Their hearts instantly sank, feeling that the support mission might have failed. With two A-Tier Lifeforms assassinating her, Olivia was highly likely dead.

If Olivia died within Return Star territory, it would be troublesome, so they didn't even have the time to care about the Return Star Citizens around them.

"The enemy didn't succeed..." Max briefly explained what happened. Li Yu's actions were very crucial, and he emphasized the combat process between the two A-Tier Lifeforms and Li Yu.

Hearing this, the Return Star commanders and their Subordinates all looked at Li Yu, their eyes instantly changing, filled with disbelief.

Fighting two A-Tier Lifeforms in succession, this was too formidable. Looking at the battle traces around them, they knew how intense the battle had been.

Ever since knowing about the attack, Vitel's High Echelon had been anxiously waiting for the result. No matter what the situation was, this was a severe dereliction of duty on their part.

When they learned there were two A-Tier Lifeforms at the scene, their hearts turned cold.

Two A-Tier Lifeforms actually managed to bypass layers of surveillance and arrive at the Vitel Star System.

Needless to say, their political careers were over.

However, the subsequent report shocked their High Echelon. A B-Tier Lifeform had fought two enemies and didn't lose.

One must know that the opponents weren't two weaklings, but two A-Tier Lifeforms belonging to the high-level combat Strength.

If the person explaining wasn't General Aisel's son, they would have suspected the other party was spouting nonsense.

This level of Strength made even the knowledgeable commanders feel shocked. Is this a fucking B-Tier Lifeform?

The scene was organizing personnel to handle the aftermath. The people from the several fleets incidentally helped clean up the mess.

Broken walls and ruins were everywhere, raging Fire burning, smoke curling up. Many injured people were dug out of the Ruins by soldiers, clutching bleeding wounds and screaming loudly.

There were also travelers who had lost their families, their faces dazed, crying uncontrollably. A scene of Human Tragedy, causing countless partings of life and death, the trauma forever remaining in the hearts of the survivors.

Many survivors didn't have time to grieve and proactively joined the rescue ranks, contributing their Strength, united in their efforts.

"Boss, Olivia is coming." Max Eagerly Followed beside Li Yu. Having lost the Gamble, he was now Li Yu's Little Brother.

However, he didn't feel ashamed. After all, a B-Tier Lifeform who could withstand two A-Tier Lifeforms was fully qualified to be his Boss.

Li Yu slightly raised his head. Having chugged over a dozen tubes of Nutritional Potions, his exhaustion disappeared significantly, and Life beside him was treating his injuries.

"Thank you for your help," Olivia said solemnly. If it weren't for Li Yu this time, she would probably truly have been in danger.

Although she possessed massive Mental Power, it wasn't of much help in frontal combat.

"Mutual help." Li Yu hinted meaningfully. The Star Glory Empire's target wasn't just Olivia, but also him... although it might have been incidental.

If they hadn't coincidentally run into each other this time, whether it was Li Yu or Olivia, if they had encountered two A-Tier Lifeforms alone, the outcome probably wouldn't have been too good.

Olivia naturally understood this reasoning too. However, intending to build a good relationship with Li Yu, she shook her head and said, "The main mission target this time was me. I still must thank you."

Li Yu didn't say anything more. Instead, Edwin nearby proactively asked, "The opposing party is the Star Glory Empire?"

Everyone around was their own people. Although Edwin's words made people shudder, no one spoke.

"Besides them, I can't think of anyone else who would target me in passing while assassinating Olivia." Li Yu shrugged, warm Strength churning within his body.

After experiencing this life-and-death battle, he didn't know to what extent the [Golden Blood Talent] could develop his Gene Chain.

This battle raised his sense of urgency for Strength by another notch.

Although he still had some life-saving methods he hadn't used, he couldn't withstand the opponent keeping an eye on him. Facing a behemoth like the Star Glory Empire, no one could relax.

Even if the person behind Strength King was very likely the Loren Family, and didn't seem to want Li Yu's life, he didn't want to try and see what the outcome would be if he fell into the other party's hands.

Olivia clenched her delicate fists, a sense of powerlessness welling up. She had gone through great hardships, wanting to force the Star Glory Empire through Public Opinion.

However, the other party didn't care at all, and even planned to directly slaughter her, not taking her seriously at all.

"I will take charge of the disaster relief work here and provide extra-insurance compensation for the casualties," Olivia said to Edwin.

She knew this incident was entirely caused by her. These ordinary Citizens might not know, but Return Star's High Echelon would definitely be able to find out.

Edwin was Prince Connor's son. She wanted to express her attitude through Edwin to appease the Gui Xing High Command.

"I will pass on your views." Edwin was neither humble nor arrogant, and didn't express his own thoughts. This was his usual style.

Max sneakily leaned over: "Boss, I recorded the entire battle just now. Should we release it? It will definitely cause a massive uproar."

"Oh?" Li Yu was slightly surprised. Recording at all times was a good habit of his.

However, during the battle, the [Titan Colonization Armor] was shattered, making the Recording function unusable. He didn't expect Max to be so savvy.

"Give me a copy first..." Li Yu neither agreed nor refused, asking for a backup copy first.

"Blindly spreading this news isn't a good idea; it will attract too much attention," Edwin reminded.

"I'm asking my Boss." Max ignored Edwin and looked at Li Yu with anticipation.

This matter would bring massive reputation and attention. However... Li Yu was soon going to identify Dark Star as his backer and would be in the spotlight sooner or later.

Letting it ferment in advance would also be fine for him. More importantly... gaining massive positive reputation in Return Star would allow his plan to leap forward, saving a lot of time.

Moreover, he went through great hardships, risking his life to protect the Return Star Citizens watching the concert; doesn't he deserve a Hero's Welcome?

But... blowing his own trumpet, it would be hard to gain support. He still needed a powerful persuader. He looked at Olivia, who was comforting the crowd not far away.

He looked at Edwin and slowly spoke: "Although risking my life for Return Star's Citizens is my own responsibility, and I don't wish to publicize it too much, the attackers need to be condemned, and the Citizens need the truth."

Everyone: "??"
