Chapter 287: Post-Battle

The disappearance of the Divine Child of Rohan seemed to spread across the entire battlefield through some special means. The Blood Beasts, which seemed devoid of any sentience, became even more agitated.

They began to surge overwhelmingly toward Li Yu's direction. The surrounding Transformers didn't sit idly by as their supreme Overlord was besieged, either, roaring and joining the battlefield.

On Planet Eternal Distance, the High Priest stood before a hideous and twisted statue of Rohan, chanting prayers in a low voice. Just then, the statue flickered with a faint light, seemingly conveying some message to the High Priest.

"What!?" The High Priest abruptly stood up, his eyes filled with shock. The Believers nearby with their heads bowed noticed something was wrong and looked in surprise at the High Priest, who was reacting so strongly.

"I just received a Divine Oracle. The Divine Child... has been beaten back to its original form." The High Priest spoke slowly.

"How is that possible!?" A Believer exclaimed in horror, their face full of disbelief.

"That's the Divine Child... possessing supreme mighty power."

The High Priest's face was gloomy. Were the reinforcements on Planet Abundant Star truly that strong?

He found it somewhat hard to accept. After all, that was the Divine Child. He had witnessed the Divine Child annihilate many civilizations, turning endless living beings into Rations for the Divine Spirit.

"If we continue, unpredictable situations might arise."

"No!" The High Priest immediately rejected this proposal: "Only a joint Sacrifice can please my God. If we were only going to Sacrifice a single planet, why would we have delayed for so long?"

"I will contact the Priest of Planet Abundant Star and ask what exactly happened!"

In the Divine Church, Priests held supreme power. Ordinary Believers couldn't interact with the Divine Spirit at all; the Priests were the interpreters of the Divine Spirit.

Since the High Priest had made his decision, the rest of the Ordinary Believers could only lower their heads.

His eyes flickered as he recalled the intelligence Ted had sent previously––

Abandoned pieces of Return Star, nothing to worry about.

What an incompetent fool. Moreover, there had been no news during today's scheduled contact time. Ted had probably already been discovered.

Ever since the reinforcements from Return Star arrived, bad news had been following one after another...

"Li Yu..." He muttered this name.

.........

The Meteor Fleet and Patrol Fleet crisscrossed, massive amounts of energy attacks sweeping across the battlefield, striking where the Blood Beasts were dense to avoid damaging those Transformers.

Both fleets were heavily crippled, their Strength less than a tenth of their prime. However, dealing with these ordinary Blood Beasts was More Than Sufficient.

"Coordinates–E1 Combat Zone, three giant Blood Beasts broke through the defensive array. Ship-Breaking Squad, go handle it as soon as possible."

"The Void Annihilation Cannon has finished charging and can fire again!"

"..."

In the Command Center, various noisy sounds rang in the ears. Hannes's face was gloomy. It wasn't him commanding personally now, but the time for those deputy commanders to show their skills.

His gaze was fixed tightly on the Energy Detection System. The highest Energy Reaction just now had reached around 130,000 Calories.

This was already a level only an A-Tier Second-Stage Evolutionist could reach.

Such attack intensity was enough to tear apart a continental plate head-on; it could be called a humanoid continental oscillator.

In the center of the Energy Reaction, their Detection Devices couldn't Monitor the combat situation at all.

High-intensity Energy Reactions shielded all Detection Devices.

He didn't know whether the high-intensity Energy Reaction just now was Li Yu's attack or issued by the other party's high-level lifeform.

It must be the Evil God's high-level lifeform. No matter how powerful Li Yu was, he had only just become an A-Tier Lifeform; it was impossible for him to unleash an attack of that level.

He continuously gave himself this suggestion, then looked at Hunter beside him and asked casually: "Aren't you worried?"

"Worried about what?" Hunter, who was observing the battle situation, subconsciously asked back.

He rather enjoyed the noisy atmosphere around him; this feeling of returning to the battlefield excited him.

"...Who is in charge of the E1 Combat Zone!? Where is the ground assault squad!?" He couldn't help but shout loudly.

One of Hannes's Adjutants answered tremblingly: "It's me."

"Idiot!" Hunter cursed: "Have you given back everything you learned at the Imperial... Return Star Military Academy!?"

"How could such a loophole appear in the ground defense!"

That Adjutant explained in a low voice: "I thought that combat zone was relatively in the rear... moreover..."

"You thought!?" Hunter pointed at his nose, Cursing Loudly: "Can you use 'you thought' on the battlefield? Now look, the defensive array is torn, and we can only send the Ship-Breaking Squad to save the day!"

Hannes gnashed his teeth in anger beside him. These pieces of trash, why didn't they dare talk back? If you dare talk back, I dare support you.

Now you're being scolded like a dog and don't even dare to talk back; how can I back you up!?

In fact, after a short period of cooperation, Hunter's commanding ability had won everyone's conviction. Plus, in a place like a battlefield, mistakes were truly intolerable.

"Ahem..." Hannes coughed dryly twice, interrupting Hunter's torrential verbal abuse.

Hunter then reacted, took a sip of water, looked at Hannes, "Who did you say I'm not worried about? Li Yu?"

Hannes nodded, pointing out meaningfully: "The Energy Level Reaction just now already exceeded 100,000 Calories... Li Yu just became an A-Tier Lifeform; it should be difficult to burst out with Strength of this Energy Level."

He thought Hunter hadn't noticed this situation and deliberately reminded him again.

"No need to worry..." Who knew Hunter didn't care at all, shook his head, and sighed: "Staying beside Li Yu for so long has made me understand many things."

"One of them is, absolutely never worry about him, because the most probable situation that will happen is you're about to die, while he's perfectly fine."

Hannes listened to Hunter's sighing tone, his inner emotions could only be described as bizarre. He wasn't worried that Li Yu would die, but worried that... he wouldn't die.

This Bastard held his Handle, and he didn't know how Li Yu would restrict him later. It would be better to just let him die here.

Unfortunately, things wouldn't develop in the direction he anticipated.

"Your Excellency Hannes... all the Blood Beasts suddenly changed direction, heading towards Commander Li Yu's battlefield."

The sudden report from the Subordinate made both of them turn their gazes to the screen simultaneously.

Hannes subconsciously clenched his fists. Is he about to launch some ultimate move?

You must kill this Bastard Li Yu, go for it!?

"Commander Hannes, are you anticipating something?" Hunter looked at Hannes suspiciously.

The breath Hannes had been holding almost leaked out. He slowly unclenched his hand and shook his head:

"No, I'm just worrying about Commander Li Yu again. Once his life is in danger, we will have no choice but to abandon this place."

"Is that so?" Hunter was Noncommittal. Although he spoke nicely, it was just to shut Hannes up.

A-Tier Lifeforms were no longer petty squabbles. Even if he had confidence in Li Yu, he would still be somewhat worried.

It didn't take long. In the center of the battlefield, the ground was pitted and uneven, covered in cracks and gullies everywhere. Magma continuously surged out, flowing on the Earth.

A Thunderous boom shook the sky. A golden Thunder pillar struck from the Earth into the heavens, blasting into the continuously permeating Blood Mist.

Thunder roamed through the Blood Mist, continuously expanding its range. Li Yu stood on the Earth, looking around at the surging blood-colored tides coming from all directions; they were all Blood Beasts.

He raised his hand and grabbed fiercely. At this moment, the entire sky seemed to be collapsed by his grab. The Blood Mist drooped, slowly touching the Earth like a tornado.

And the Golden Lightning contained within directly exploded. Centered on him, blinding Thunder spread across the Earth, crashing into the Blood Beasts rushing from all directions.

Crackling sounds rang out continuously. Wherever the Golden Lightning passed, massive numbers of Blood Beasts turned scorched black and fell to the ground.

Peculiarly, after those Transformers came into contact with this Golden Lightning, they weren't destroyed. Instead, it was as if they had been injected with motor oil.

Golden Electric Arcs wreathed their mechanical bodies. They seemed to feel something was about to emerge; that was the gift of the great Creator––Primordial Heavenly Venerable!

"For Primordial Heavenly Venerable!"

Massive numbers of Transformers charged at the surrounding Blood Beasts, their combat power visibly surging a tier.

This single strike directly wiped out millions of Blood Beasts and indirectly provided Amplification to massive numbers of Transformers. Li Yu was panting slightly; evidently, the consumption was also tremendous.

No wonder Hannes said that even if the Blood Beasts stood still and let him chop, he couldn't chop them all.

Unless he directly shattered this planet, killing them slowly would truly require a massive amount of time.

And this was only a portion of the Blood Beasts on this continent. There were a total of four continental plates on the entire Planet Abundant Star.

Who knew how many Blood Beasts there were? Fortunately, the Transformers had stopped them.

With the strike finished, the surrounding Transformers also surged forward, engaging in close combat with those Blood Beasts.

"You see... I told you, he's definitely fine." Hunter looked at the sky-piercing Golden Lightning, breathed a slight sigh of relief, and then looked at Hannes.

Hannes subconsciously clenched his fists, squeezing out a forced smile on his face: "Ha... haha... Commander Li Yu's Strength is indeed... formidable."

He really didn't die!?

What did this mean? Was he the one who unleashed that 100,000 Calorie attack just now?

How did he do it?

Monstrous waves surged in Hannes's heart. He didn't want to believe this speculation, yet the facts lay before him, and all his unwillingness could only be suppressed in his heart.

In the Blood Beast siege, the most crucial Divine Child had already been beaten into an egg by Li Yu, and the remaining Blood Beasts were nothing to worry about.

He soared into the air, gliding across the battlefield. All the Transformers looked up simultaneously, their electronic eyes gazing at his retreating figure.

Gober was incredibly excited. Standing in front of the Shelter, despite his old age, he cheered and jumped like a Young Child at this moment, but no one laughed at him.

He already knew the news of Li Yu defeating the other party's leader. This siege couldn't possibly succeed anymore!

In other words, they had survived!

Although he didn't know if there would be a next time, as long as they were alive, there was hope!

Li Yu landed at the entrance of the Shelter. A Blood-Colored Giant Egg floated in his palm, covered in weird, broken symbols.

Gober, who had intended to come forward and thank him, suddenly stopped in his tracks, looking at that Blood-Colored Giant Egg with some trepidation.

"Th... thank you for your help..." Gober stopped four or five meters in front of Li Yu. The surrounding soldiers also looked at this powerful life form with gazes containing reverence and fear.

"It's my duty." Li Yu waved his hand casually, not paying it much mind, and walked straight into the Shelter, arriving at the Command Center, where the tense atmosphere had already dissipated.

The next steps were basically some mopping-up work. Coordinating with the Transformers to eliminate the remaining Blood Beasts wasn't too troublesome.

"Your Excellency Hannes, are you very disappointed to see I'm not dead?" Li Yu looked at Hannes somewhat teasingly.

An awkward smile appeared on Hannes's face: "How could that be? We are all people of Return Star; how could I hope for your death."

From the initial domineering arrogance to the current humble and accommodating smile, Hannes had completed this mental shift in a short period of time.

The bitterness within was insufficient to be spoken to outsiders.

"That's for the best." Li Yu pointed out meaningfully, and then commanded: "Eliminate the remaining Blood Beasts as soon as possible. Don't let my people suffer too many casualties."

Through that Black Warrior and the numerous Transformers in the Base, Li Yu knew.

This was a living race; they had their own thoughts and their own memories, just harboring supreme reverence for the Primordial Heavenly Venerable.

"Yes!" The numerous deputy commanders agreed in unison. Facing Li Yu's order, they didn't dare slack off at all. Didn't they see their boss didn't even dare let out a loud fart.

"What is this thing?" Hunter looked curiously at the giant egg. Unknowingly, his eyes became somewhat dazed, as if a certain murmuring sound rang in his ears.

"Don't look at it..." Li Yu flicked a tiny Golden Lightning, instantly waking Hunter up, who couldn't help but step back a few paces.

"They call it the Divine Child..." Li Yu introduced simply.

"Divine Child!?" Hunter was somewhat surprised. He wasn't unfamiliar with this name, just rarely saw the original form.

He had handled some foreign civilization Evil God incidents. By the time their fleet arrived, they basically saw fully formed Divine Children, possessing extremely strong destructive power.

However, Divine Children were also considered rare. Most so-called Divine Children weren't truly the offspring of gods; they were basically manufactured through special methods, serving merely as combat Weapons.

This Divine Child of Rohan was the most typical example. In Return Star's Database, it was called the "Twisted Devourer".

Not counting its base form, it had a total of five combat forms, and its highest Combat Power Level could approach a million Calories.

Yes... this thing had a total of five combat states, and Li Yu had only witnessed two.

Because every combat form required Devouring a massive number of Blood Beasts, or rather, flesh-and-blood energy, to support its combat.

And Li Yu had long since learned this information from Rohan's Priest, completely denying the other party the opportunity to continue Devouring.

Hunter reminded: "The value of this thing is very high. It contains the power of a Divine Spirit. Through special methods, it can become a natural combat Weapon."

It wasn't the first time high-level civilizations had dealt with Divine Spirits; they had researched certain directions very thoroughly.

"Special methods?" Li Yu's mind stirred slightly. He prepared to go back and ask Peyton. This grand Noble who was adept at research should know this method.

An A-Tier combat Weapon, who wouldn't want it?

Thanks to Bai Qiang for the 2000 reward, thanks for the support, thank you very much!
