Chapter 257: Sweeping Across! A Surprised Dark Star

The [Titan Colonization Armor] on his body faded away, turning into ordinary clothes, leaving only a white cape fluttering in the wind.

With the current defensive level of the [Titan Colonization Armor], it was temporarily insufficient to handle a regular A-rank battle.

Azure-purple flames spewed from Black Ember's back, and his body soared up from the ground. His pupils emitted a faint red light, constantly expanding and contracting as his intelligent System conducted various data analyses on the current Li Yu.

However, the power of just that single punch, the analyzed force, caused Black Ember's intelligent System to crash for a long time, unable to figure out how the opponent erupted with that level of Strength.

The dent on his chest gradually repaired; he clearly used some sort of nanomaterial. The back Armor split open, and a massive amount of nanobugs surged out.

Three mechanical heads with different expressions and mechanical arms covered in complex patterns were derived around him.

The mechanical structure was still continuously assembling. Nine black Nanospheres floated behind him, emitting a faint glow. Not only could they repair the main body's damage at any time, but they could also be assembled into advanced Sci-Martial Arts weapons.

[Asura Form]—Black Ember's strongest combat form. He custom-built it according to a certain legend from his home planet, possessing extremely powerful combat capabilities.

Laser Man, whose face was sprayed with the tail flames from behind, couldn't care less about being angry, staring suspiciously at Li Yu not far away.

Black Ember raised his hand. The Black-Gold Mechanical Great Axe in Li Yu's hand trembled incessantly, crackling with Electric Arcs, and the handle constantly heated up. It was obvious there was some kind of remote control module on it.

Forcing the target to drop the Mechanical Great Axe through damaging means—unfortunately, such damage had no effect on the current Li Yu.

He stretched out his right hand and gently flicked the Mechanical Great Axe. Clang!

The terrifying force caused the Mechanical Great Axe to tremble violently, continuously shooting out electrical sparks; its internal devices had suffered damage.

Storing the Mechanical Great Axe into his Compressed Space, Li Yu looked around and said loudly, "I'm in a hurry, you guys come at me together."

This wasn't him being too arrogant, but a fact. The [Kryptonian Experience Card] only lasted for one hour, and he needed to handle everything within this one hour.

According to his plan, to be honest... it was quite tedious.

"Arrogant!" Laser Man shouted coldly. Even though Li Yu's current state was very bizarre, he didn't think it would have any impact on the final outcome.

One must know, their side had five A-Tier Lifeforms. This kind of power was enough to sway the rise and fall of many civilizations.

Before he could react, Black Ember had already charged forward. In Asura Form, the black Nanospheres around him assembled into a Matter Annihilation Cannon, and a black Light Beam landed on Li Yu a step ahead of him.

Rumble!

The violent black energy wave covered Li Yu, and the Earth beneath his feet was disintegrated. Daniel, who had already run far away, watched this scene with slight terror.

The target of this advanced Sci-Martial Arts weapon was an A-Tier Lifeform. Smoke and dust rose all around, and Black Ember's vision immediately switched to a thermal perspective, assisted by sonic Detection Devices.

The various feedback Detection Devices let him know that the person in the smoke hadn't been killed by the annihilation cannon.

"Hiss~~"

A faint breathing sound sounded, keenly captured by Black Ember. Then, a strong wind pressure erupted from the center of the smoke, abruptly clearing the surrounding smoke.

The gale whistled past, causing Black Ember's speed to abruptly stagnate. In the center of the battlefield, a large hole was torn in the clothes on Li Yu's chest, revealing smooth, fair skin.

Brushing off the ashes, Li Yu looked at Black Ember not far away. Without any signs of acceleration, he vanished from the spot!

Bang!

A dull impact sound rang out. Black Ember was surrounded by a black Nanobarrier. The nanobugs flowed continuously, dispersing the terrifying force everywhere.

This force-dispersing method was extremely clever, allowing this barrier to withstand attacks far beyond its limits!

Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. His back bulged, the seemingly fragile muscle fibers transmitting unimaginable power, and his arm exerted force a second time.

Bang!

Another dull thud, accompanied by a clear shattering sound. The Nanobarrier directly shattered, scattering on the ground, then rapidly flowing, attempting to repair itself.

But Li Yu's second punch had already smashed over. Black Ember's auxiliary System operated extremely fast; he raised his arms and blocked the incoming fleshy fist.

The powerful force forced Black Ember to retreat, plowing a very long trench in the ground.

But Black Ember wasn't idle either. The other heads turned sideways, and various advanced Sci-Martial Arts weapons were continuously assembled on his mechanical arms.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Violent bombardments rang out continuously. The various energies were colorful, the Residual Energy constantly swelling. The destructive power to the surroundings wasn't strong because it was all concentrated on Li Yu.

Amidst the swirling dust and smoke, Black Ember felt that the heart area, which had long since been transformed into an advanced Energy Engine after his Cybernetic Enhancement, suddenly beat a few times.

A certain emotion that had long since disappeared suddenly surfaced.

Li Yu was Light as Wind and Cloud; the various energy attacks caused him no damage whatsoever.

"I reckon that's about it..." Li Yu looked at Black Ember in front of him, saying calmly, "I'm going to get serious."

In the past three minutes, he was just testing his current Strength. After all, the System's description only had a few lines of small text, and he had to figure out the specifics himself.

And based on the experimental results, he could only say... as expected of a reward dropped from Superman, it was indeed awesome.

A-Tier Lifeforms definitely had classification standards. After all, he knew long ago that A-Grade Genetic Evolvers would replace their underlying Gene Chains.

Without thinking, replacing a Gene Chain would be a powerful leap in Strength, even far exceeding the leap from F to A.

By analogy, the other Evolutionary Systems probably also had methods to continuously enhance themselves.

It was just that he wasn't an A-Tier Lifeform yet and didn't know the exact classifications.

Li Yu didn't know exactly what position the Strength brought by the [Kryptonian Experience Card] was at in the A-rank, but beating up this group of people in front of him shouldn't be a problem.

Unfortunately, the [Kryptonian Experience Card] wasn't a [Superman Experience Card]. After all, it was common knowledge that Kryptonians and Superman were "two different species."

But right now, it was enough to handle the current situation.

Taking a deep breath, creating a temporary vacuum around him, Li Yu raised his right hand and directly smashed it over. Simple and crude, yet surprisingly effective.

Bang!

Black Ember raised his hand to block. Dull thuds came from his arms, and the force-dispersing devices at his joints operated. His main structure wasn't purely nanomaterials.

He also used many precious metal materials; it wasn't fragile, but incredibly hard.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Li Yu was expressionless, like an emotionless machine, only knowing to swing his fists, tirelessly.

Black Ember almost had no room to resist. His legs split open, extending black Magnetic Energy spring cylinders, tightly embedding into the Earth.

The powerful force immediately poured into the Earth along the spring cylinders. The Earth beneath his feet directly cracked open, and they began to sink.

Dust filled the air around them. The battle high in the sky even stopped; everyone watched that battlefield covered in dust.

David's expression wasn't very good. For such a variable to appear at the end made him even more doubtful... whether Li Yu's choice of this place was an accident or deliberate.

In Elton's heart, there was only shock and the pleasant surprise of surviving a desperate situation. He never expected that Li Yu, who was used as bait, could actually unleash such Strength.

Dark Star stealthily distanced himself from the battlefield, but in his heart, he was pondering what to do in the current situation. As he looked at the smoke, a power surged up in his Corporeal Form.

This is...? His expression gradually became wonderful.

Dull thuds continuously transmitted over, and the surrounding Earth continuously sank. Spiderweb-like cracks had already spread thousands of meters away and were still continuously extending.

The time wasn't long. The dull thuds suddenly turned into crisp sounds of striking iron, making everyone's hearts tremble.

Elton flapped his wings, a hurricane whistled past, directly blowing away the permeating smoke clouds, revealing a giant crater a thousand meters in radius.

In the center of the giant crater, Li Yu was holding two mechanical arms that were shooting sparks, already twisted beyond recognition, ruthlessly smashing them onto Black Ember's head.

Electric Arcs surged, and Black Ember's head was also extremely distorted. The mechanical eyeballs had popped out, completely exposing the Energy Pathways within.

Such a scene made everyone's hearts tremble in unison. Searching their hearts, Black Ember's Strength was definitely considered relatively strong in their eyes.

For him to be in such a miserable state now, didn't this mean that none of them were Li Yu's match?

"Black Ember!" David's pupils contracted, completely not expecting it to end up like this. Black Ember's intelligent System continuously issued alarm sounds.

Li Yu tossed away the two mechanical arms, formed a claw with his left hand, and directly stabbed into Black Ember's chest, forcibly yanking out the Energy Engine.

"[Dark Matter Engine], still an advanced gadget, not bad..." Li Yu nodded in satisfaction, storing the Energy Engine into his Compressed Space.

Right at this moment, purple-black light flashed behind him. A figure abruptly appeared, holding a Purple Dagger, and stabbed towards Li Yu's lower back.

Ding!

The crisp sound made David's expression change drastically. Purple-black light wrapped around him, seeming ready to evacuate.

Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, reacting extremely fast. He backhanded David across the face; with a crack, his head was directly slapped 180 degrees.

The next moment, his body exploded with a bang. Countless tiny purple bats turned into Flowing Light, rapidly condensing into David's appearance not far away.

He subconsciously touched his neck, his eyes flickering, staring at Li Yu not far away.

Due to the loss of the Energy Engine, Black Ember's mechanical eyeballs gradually dimmed. As a cyborg whose brain had even undergone Cybernetic Enhancement, Black Ember had, in a sense, achieved immortality.

Even now, he had just entered a deep sleep. As long as he had an Energy Engine, he could still be "resurrected."

It was just that Li Yu obviously wouldn't give him this chance. After putting away Black Ember's Corporeal Form, he looked at David not far away.

Still without any signs of acceleration, he directly appeared in front of David, smashing a fist towards his head.

Bang!

Purple-black bats swirled as David condensed his Corporeal Form not far away. Li Yu wasn't the least bit frustrated; instead, he laughed: "An interesting ability. I want to see how many times you can split and how many times you can condense!"

David's face was gloomy as he shouted coldly at Laser Man and Strength King: "How long are you going to watch? He obviously wants to Wipe Out all of us!"

"His current state definitely has a duration. He needs to kill us all within the duration, otherwise, it will be his doomsday!"

All powerful abilities had a certain price; David felt this deeply. By splitting into purple bats, he could become immune to fatal damage.

But it would also damage his own genetic stability. It was very likely that next time he wouldn't be able to condense a body.

Laser Man and Strength King's expressions flickered. They no longer hesitated and charged straight towards Li Yu.

Elton returned to human form, looking at Li Yu who was about to be besieged, his face hesitant.

Finally... he gritted his teeth. The two were In the Same Boat; if Li Yu died, he wouldn't have it easy either. To hell with Horus, to hell with Vimala, step aside.

However, due to being besieged just now, he was also heavily injured. If he rushed down rashly, it would likely have the opposite effect.

Suddenly, he spotted Dark Star rushing over from the edge of the battlefield. He remembered this guy seemed to be heavily injured as well, lacking combat power, making him a perfect opponent.

Although he didn't know why Dark Star helped Li Yu block another A-Tier Lifeform earlier.

But through the battle just now, Elton knew that Dark Star was definitely not a teammate.

Dark Star's expression was excited at this moment. He never expected it to actually be true.

When Li Yu became strong, he would also become strong. Dark Star even felt that he was stronger now than in his prime. What the hell kind of Curse was this?

Dark Star didn't want to care about anything now; he just wanted to stand in front of Li Yu and fight him for three hundred rounds.

But the next moment, Elton descended from the sky, landing in front of Dark Star. "Your Excellency Dark Star, your opponent is me."

Dark Star's face froze, and he said, Gnashing Her Teeth, "Get out of the way!"

Facing Elton, he didn't have that bizarre Strength Amplification.

Elton shook his head, his attitude firm. Every opponent he could stop was one less. Now he could only do his best and leave the rest to fate.

Dark Star took a deep breath, looking at the battle group in the distance, then at Elton blocking his path. He suddenly felt Mentally exhausted.

...

Bang!

Strength King fell onto the Earth, a giant crater cracking open beneath him. He spat out large mouthfuls of blood. There was a clear fist print on his left chest, deeply sunken in.

If a normal person suffered such an injury, they probably would have died long ago, yet he only spat out two mouthfuls of blood.

His eyes gradually filled with blood, and his body began to expand. Red hair derived on his skin, and low roars came from his throat. Enveloped in blazing red Aura, he was unleashing his Genetic True Form.

"Going to transform?" Li Yu stared at Strength King below. At this moment, several crimson Light Beams bombarded his body, and purple-black light mist constantly appeared around him.

David's limbs were in different locations, occasionally exploding into a large flock of purple bats.

Condensing in another place, constantly launching attacks at his weak spots—eyes, neck, dick—extremely vicious.

This wasn't a spatial ability, but the ability of the Purple Devil Bat. Coming without a shadow and leaving without a trace, its concealment and life-saving abilities were extremely strong. It was a natural assassin; unfortunately, he encountered Li Yu, this massive chunk of iron.
