Chapter 305: Future? Past!

As the golden runes surged in, the Nano Cores began to tremble irregularly. Ripples appeared on their surfaces, and then they suddenly began to surge violently.

Li Yu's mental power poured out like flowing water, and a feeling of weakness welled up. Enlightening ten B-class mechanical creations simultaneously was not an ordinary level of difficulty.

Suddenly, the energy light of the Nano Cores shone brilliantly!

In the next second, the silver-white liquid of the Nano Cores began to extend in the air, as if forging their own skeletons.

Clatter—

Li Yu could see that the Nano Cores were undergoing a metamorphosis.

With the nano-skeleton as the center, blood vessels and nerves similar to a human body grew wildly, gradually fusing into a whole.

Electric sparks ignited in the circuits, colliding with each other to construct special cognitive organs. The energy flow cycled endlessly, providing fuel support for this metamorphosis.

This state was maintained for quite a while before the energy light of the Nano Cores returned to normal.

Their facial features constantly fine-tuned, leaving Li Yu somewhat speechless. These few things clearly turned into his appearance.

Then they simultaneously knelt on one knee toward Li Yu, respectfully shouting, "Great Primordial Celestial Sovereign!"

Li Yu glanced at the several nano-creatures and spoke, "Claptrap, synchronize the Sci-Martial Arts data of the Titan Colonization Armor over."

"Yes!"

Without technological data, the Nano Cores could not utilize their own technological characteristics to perform various transformations.

Buzz!

The ten Nano Cores received a massive amount of data, and their bodies trembled. Their originally taut bodies seemingly relaxed, and they twisted their necks with crackling sounds.

Clack, clack, clack—

The nanoparticles began to assemble, taking turns testing various weapons. Their combat style was extremely agile, and their degree of body utilization was extremely high.

Moreover, the Virtual Faith Li Yu used also gave them a boost, raising their strength considerably.

And exceeding Li Yu's expectations, they could even undergo a higher level of fusion.

The ten Nano Cores intertwined together, and the nanoparticles rapidly transformed. Its body size became more massive, and it could also simulate more technological weapons.

Their strength can probably barely be considered an A-Tier Lifeform... Li Yu estimated. This enlightenment had almost entirely exhausted his Virtual Faith, but it also brought a powerful aid.

In the future, when there were more Transformers, they would produce an endless stream of assistance for him.

The effect is quite good. Li Yu was satisfied, calculating in his heart.

............

Half a month later, in the cosmic space outside Returning Star's Central Star System, Li Yu hovered here, facing the morning light. In front of him were a full thousand warships, reflecting a metallic luster.

Among them, the most eye-catching one was the pitch-black main ship located in the center, which was far more massive than the surrounding warships.

It had sharp edges and corners, with a heavy industrial style that expounded the aesthetics of machinery and order.

The giant square gun muzzle below the hull was like an abyss, and this was exactly the origin of the name Ghostly Whisper—the Overclocking Oscillator.

It could perform large-scale vacuum high-frequency disruption. Its lethality in a short period of time was not high, but if the duration was long, it was basically a screen-clearing method.

Justin, wearing armor, flew out from the flying vehicle beside him and connected to Li Yu's channel.

"Your Excellency the Baron, the Meteor Fleet has been thoroughly replenished... The specific data will be transmitted to you later..."

A Meteor Fleet with a full complement was the true Meteor Fleet.

Although it couldn't be compared with Returning Star's high-level fleets, it was at least not something the previous few pieces of scrap metal could compare with.

Li Yu looked around and suppressed the baffling thought of riding an armored horse with a drawn blade that surfaced in his mind. He had barely gone from being completely transparent to a big transparent entity; he hadn't reached the point of acting recklessly yet.

Only ten thousand Mechanical Hull-Breaker Beasts were equipped, but this was already something Justin had gone through untold hardships to get.

Of course, this was what he said himself. Li Yu figured that if he pressed him a bit more, he could squeeze out a bit more.

However, driving someone to desperation wasn't good either. The captain of every warship was professionally trained and had excellent graduation scores from military academies.

There were even quite a few who had served as assistants beside veteran captains, which could greatly save Li Yu's training time.

Although his mood was surging, Li Yu had no intention of personally commanding. When the time came, he would just toss this errand to Hunter, making the best use of everything.

It would save him from acting like a slacker all day, just eating and waiting for death.

After finishing the handover of affairs, the Meteor Fleet anchored in a place far from Returning Star's Central Star System. He temporarily hadn't received a transfer order, so he didn't need to leave.

Li Yu was in a good mood and returned to the base. Peyton was intensely modifying the Alien Queen. The last time Li Yu went, the Divine Child had already undergone Initial Fusion with the Alien Queen.

The sand churned, and the huge Sand Worm poked its head out. Li Yu rubbed its wrinkled skin. He didn't expect the Sand Worm to give him a surprise as well, producing Spice once again.

A fluorescent blue misty light orb flickered. Li Yu put it away. For his current mental power, the Spice could hardly have any effect on him.

It could only be used as fuel for the Navigator.

It's getting bigger and bigger... Li Yu sighed with emotion.

Because of this guy, he had been complained about many times. The masters of several nearby bases were very dissatisfied with this, thinking that such a huge pet was extremely dangerous.

Walking into the base, the smart terminal hummed again. Li Yu glanced at it. It was that old cabbage Star Gazer again.

This guy somehow got his contact information two days ago and frequently bombarded him.

And the reason he did this was because Li Yu had informed the Savior Ark that Star Gazer didn't invite him, through the smart terminal obtained from Andras.

It was worth mentioning that the Savior Ark didn't take Andras's death to heart, but instead paid more attention to Li Yu.

They immediately invited Li Yu to visit the Savior Ark, but Li Yu stated that they should stick to the original plan and have Star Gazer invite him.

Although the people of the Ark were very confused, as long as they could get Li Yu to come over, they naturally didn't care.

Obviously, the Savior Ark had gone to Star Gazer to hold him accountable, and Star Gazer could only come to him again.

Li Yu had already left him hanging for several days. Today, he happened to have nothing to do. Sitting on the sofa, he leisurely clicked answer.

The holographic screen popped up, and Star Gazer's old face appeared on the screen. His expression was very ugly, and his two eyeballs stared intently at Li Yu.

"His Excellency the Baron seems quite busy, only having time to answer now," Star Gazer said in a sarcastic tone.

"You called just to say this?" Li Yu picked his ear and then prepared to close the communication.

"Wait..." Star Gazer could only stop Li Yu, taking a deep breath and saying, "The Savior Ark invites you as a guest to discuss cooperation matters."

"So it's about this..." Li Yu came to a sudden realization, looking at Star Gazer whose old face was as ugly as a donkey's buttocks.

Still pretending. His contact had already told him that this kid specifically named him to invite him again, clearly making him nauseous.

"This matter is worth considering. However, Your Excellency seems very reluctant to invite me..." Li Yu looked at the Star Gazer on the screen with a half-smile.

Star Gazer really wanted to close the communication in a fit of anger. Unfortunately, he couldn't do this. His previous unauthorized actions had already dissatisfied the Savior Ark.

He originally thought he could use Mental Suggestion to ruin Li Yu's reputation. Not only would it help Elton, but it would also make Li Yu go to the Savior Ark.

Who knew his spiritual body would bafflingly disappear in Li Yu's mental sea, even causing him serious injuries.

Although shocked, the Savior Ark still had another plan, so he told Andras the time of Li Yu's departure and the spaceship model.

As a result, a second after the information about Li Yu being captured arrived, the Savior Ark told him in the next second that the people were dead and the mission failed, leaving him somewhat disarrayed.

Now he was even forced to invite Li Yu again.

Star Gazer's expression changed. He forced a smile and spoke, "Respected Your Excellency Li Yu, the Savior Ark invites you to head over to discuss cooperation matters."

Looking at Star Gazer's aggrieved expression, Li Yu almost laughed out loud.

"Sorry..." Li Yu stood up and said solemnly, "Your smile is very ugly. Forgive me, but I cannot agree."

"Don't go too far!" Star Gazer's defenses were broken, and he scolded angrily, completely losing his composure.

"I heard you can see the future. Didn't you see my answer?" Li Yu asked curiously.

Star Gazer's face alternated between green and red. Finally, he furrowed his brows tightly, suddenly looked at Li Yu, "You never planned to agree in the first place?"

What 'your smile is too ugly', not even a dog would believe such a reason. The only explanation was that Li Yu wanted to refuse the invitation in the first place.

Making him invite again was nothing more than malicious revenge. He truly was a guy who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.

"You finally look a bit like a Star Gazer..." Li Yu nodded.

The space between Star Gazer's eyebrows twitched faintly, but the next moment, he revealed an ugly smile again. "An excellent choice. I look forward to the future."

Since Li Yu had already shown his attitude, Star Gazer no longer humiliated himself and hung up the communication directly.

This Star Gazer was clearly looking forward to the time when Li Yu would be captured by the Savior Ark.

On the other side, the Star Gazer who had hung up the communication sat on a dark purple wooden chair. The decoration style of the room was very special, with various special symbols all over the room.

On the table in front of him, there was a transparent glass sphere with profound star mist floating inside.

Star Gazer furrowed his brows tightly. Li Yu's annoying face continuously flashed through his mind. His expression changed several times, and he seemed to have decided something.

His withered hands reached out, holding the transparent glass sphere in front of him. Subsequently... his two eyeballs gleamed with weird colors, and majestic mental power poured into the glass sphere.

In an instant, the star mist inside the glass sphere flickered. Star Gazer chanted weird syllables in his mouth, howling and murmuring sounds faintly came from all around, and the lights flickered endlessly.

As time passed, Star Gazer's eyes were also gradually filled with star mist. His perspective was gradually stretched, as if penetrating the gap of time.

In a trance, he saw a scene. Under the dim sky, hexagonal mosquitoes were buzzing around.

It's actually so clear? Has my ability become stronger again? Star Gazer was somewhat puzzled. In the past, peeking into the future was extremely blurry. Why was it so clear this time?

This place seemed to be a junkyard, and dogs barking could be heard from not far away. He followed the sound and saw a burly interstellar human dragging several ferocious hyenas, laughing wildly.

Beneath his feet, he was stepping on a mangled corpse. The corpse's eyes were wide open, as if dying with a remaining grievance.

It's Li Yu!

Star Gazer couldn't forget this face. He was suddenly startled, and then slightly delighted. This guy really didn't have long to live!

The worry in his heart abruptly dissipated, and he carefully observed the surroundings.

That burly interstellar human was probably also a powerful A-Tier Lifeform, and those few hyenas were definitely extraordinary as well.

For Li Yu to die so miserably... Wait... He was suddenly startled and carefully observed Li Yu's corpse. There seemed to be only scratch marks.

Could it be that he was killed by just the hyenas!?

Unfortunately, separated by time and space, he couldn't observe carefully. A feeling of exhaustion from his mental power arrived, and Star Gazer knew he couldn't continue anymore.

But the time of this peeking had already far exceeded his imagination.

Unfortunately, if he had carefully studied Li Yu's growth history, he would have discovered... that junkyard was not the future, but the past...

............

The metallic bulkhead was full of scratches and holes. The exposed energy lines were damaged, constantly splashing electric sparks.

The cabin of this ship had gone through a fierce battle. Flames crackled and burned, and the ground was full of the fragmented corpses of the crew.

A group of Space Marines wearing fully covered armor checked the corpses with blaster rifles in hand. If they found any survivors, they would finish them off with a shot.

The fallen crew members were all Zemin people. They had dark green rough skin, an average height of about three meters, and abundant body hair.

Although they were made of flesh and blood, they were born as solid as rocks.

And these crew members' uniforms all bore the symbol of the Amethyst Civilization, proving that this ship was a regular force belonging to the official Amethyst Civilization, but it was attacked and completely annihilated.

At the end of this cabin was a huge metal vault door, inside which was the warehouse.

At this moment, a guy who looked like the leader of the attackers stood in front of the tightly closed warehouse door.

He took out a circular device specifically used for cracking encryption keys and pressed it against the control panel of the warehouse door, emitting a high-frequency beeping sound.

Buzz! The next moment, the warehouse door groaned, deactivated the lock mode, and slowly opened.

The leader of the attackers strode inside, only to see high-purity amethysts neatly arranged in the warehouse, numbering in the hundreds.

"The goods are in hand. Go take inventory and carry them back to our ship."

The leader of the attackers nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and ordered his subordinates to work.

The accompanying guard fleet was completely wiped out by this group of attackers... A group that could plunder a regular force was clearly no small fry.

This group of attackers were also marauders, but their nature was different.

Marauders could be roughly divided into two categories. One category was ordinary marauders, who were basically wanted criminals from various civilizations coming out to find a way to live, not knowing where their next meal was coming from.

And the other category was organized and systematic. They weren't purely marauders, but mostly acted under the name of marauders.

For example, plundering, kidnapping, assassinating civilization officials, massacring planets, spy infiltration, provoking wars, and so on.

And this group of attackers was exactly this kind of high-level marauder, while also coming from a certain large faction.

An executive came to the leader's side. Looking at the subordinates carrying the high-purity amethysts, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Right now, the selling price of high-purity amethyst on the Black Hole Network has been hyped up very high. As far as I know, many civilizations are secretly purchasing it. If we swallow this batch of goods, how much money do you think we can sell it for?"

"Don't let your imagination run wild. Our job is to bring the cargo back. Do you think you've lived too long by daring to pocket it?" The leader shook his head.

Due to the recent chaos within the Amethyst Civilization, quite a few outsiders had already entered the arena early. This was originally logistics supporting a certain fleet of Amethyst, but ended up being robbed.

Having robbed the high-purity amethyst, these members returned to their spaceship, blew up all the spaceship wreckage, and turned around to leave.

In recent times, similar scenes had already played out quite a few times in various corners of the Amethyst Civilization.
