Chapter 307: Heading Out and the Force Seed

Regardless of what Titus wanted to do, heading to Barot was an unchangeable matter.

Two days later, in the laboratory, the Alien Queen had completely and thoroughly stabilized, and her form had undergone an earth-shattering change.

Her entire body had expanded by nearly twice its size, with a height exceeding fifty meters. She didn't have the bloated ovaries of a reproductive queen, but instead looked quite lean and robust, entirely a killing machine.

Peyton casually called up a massive amount of data and information, introducing to Li Yu, "That Divine Flesh has completed a deep fusion with it. As you said, the residual divinity did not alter its will. This makes me feel surprised."

The Alien Queen had already been branded by Li Yu using the system's power. No external force could change this point.

"How is its strength right now?" Li Yu asked, looking at the Alien Queen in the central observation room.

"It's not too strong right now. It needs a sufficient supply of flesh and blood to feed on..."

This was quite similar to that Divine Child, requiring flesh and blood to feed on to gradually grow stronger.

"It has inherited a portion of Rohan's characteristics. It no longer needs to hatch offspring to perform parasitization." Peyton turned on the speaker in the observation room. "Queen, demonstrate."

The Queen's giant crimson eyes looked at Li Yu. Her revered master was here, which made her even more full of drive.

The metal door on the other side opened, and a Fire-Pattern Leopard, roughly ten meters in body length, walked out trembling. A cluster of fire burned on its tail.

This was a C-Tier Lifeform, yet at this moment, it was trembling and didn't dare to move.

The Alien Queen let out a low roar. Her sharp blood-colored claws shot out an imperceptible cluster of blood, only a centimeter in diameter, which attached to the Fire-Pattern Leopard's body.

It quickly corroded through its surface skin and entered. Then the holographic screen enlarged, displaying the internal structure of the Fire-Pattern Leopard's body.

They saw that after the blood cluster entered its body, it rapidly attached to its bones and blood vessels, extending rapidly.

The Fire-Pattern Leopard let out a miserable wail. It was as if small snakes were swimming under its skin. It twitched as it lay on the ground, foaming at the mouth.

Before long, its entire body exploded with a bang, and appearing in its place was an incomparably ferocious blood-colored giant beast.

It was roughly seventy percent similar to the Fire-Pattern Leopard. The outer shell was attached with Thunder Pattern blood veins, and sharp bone spikes grew backwards from its joints, exuding an extremely fierce aura.

"The Xenomorph born after parasitization will be significantly stronger than the original host body. However, due to the Divine Flesh, this kind of Xenomorph cannot exist for too long before it suffers self-exhaustion and dies."

"If it can obtain a supplement of fresh flesh and blood, then its maintenance time will be prolonged."

Peyton had basically researched the Alien Queen thoroughly.

His only curiosity right now was why this creature, clearly born for slaughter, would possess unswerving loyalty towards Li Yu.

Right now, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, the Alien Queen could only be described with one term—killing machine!

Li Yu nodded, generally understanding the Alien Queen's current situation. He pondered for a moment and took out a mass of meat emitting a bizarre blood light from his compressed space.

This was the blood sacrifice obtained from Rohan, originating from the biological flesh and blood of the entire Eternal Distance Planet. As soon as this thing was taken out, waves of wailing sounds rang in Li Yu's ears.

"This is..." Peyton was rarely somewhat confused. He looked at it carefully for a moment before saying hesitantly, "This kind of mental disruption seems to be the product of a Divine Spirit."

He couldn't be certain what exactly this thing was and could only guess it was a product of a Divine Spirit.

"This is Rohan's sacrificed flesh and blood, intercepted by me..." Li Yu said casually, walking to the front of the observation room's door, preparing to toss this thing inside.

"Rohan's sacrifice? Intercepted?" Peyton frowned, and then his pupils shrank slightly. A Divine Spirit's sacrifice was not simple; it already involved high-level applications of the quantum dimension.

Li Yu's mentioning of intercepting it seemed casual, but Peyton knew that to actually achieve it was truly too difficult.

He didn't know that Li Yu had stolen Rohan's Faith in the Hengfeng System.

The Alien Queen displayed an extraordinary desire towards this mass of flesh and blood, respectfully lowering her head and looking at Li Yu in front of her.

Li Yu rubbed the other party's cold bone armor to show his encouragement.

The Alien Queen immediately became much more jubilant. Li Yu subsequently tossed the mass of flesh and blood to her.

The moment this mass of flesh and blood landed on the Alien Queen's body, it erupted with a brilliant and dazzling blood light.

Like a flesh cocoon, it wrapped the Alien Queen entirely within it, seemingly allowing her to slowly absorb it.

Li Yu caressed the flesh cocoon. The massive Alien Queen entirely disappeared from the observation room, leaving it empty.

Li Yu opened his System Space. As a system product, the Alien Queen could naturally be stored in the System Space.

[Alien Queen - Divine: The Alien Queen, having undergone special modifications, has achieved a qualitative leap in all aspects. Currently devouring a massive amount of external nutrients.]

With the suffix added to her name, Li Yu was slightly surprised. When he came out, Peyton immediately asked what was exactly going on with that mass of flesh and blood.

Li Yu then explained the matter of stealing Faith.

"You stole Rohan's Faith?" Peyton was somewhat unexpected. The difficulty of stealing Faith was not ordinary. Following Li Yu truly brought surprises at all times.

"However, he is a Corrupt God. His Faith has major issues, you need to be careful," Peyton reminded, which made Li Yu's eyes turn weird.

"Were you showing concern just now?"

Peyton's eyes were indifferent as he shot him a glance, "The matter you promised me hasn't been fulfilled yet. I still haven't seen the vastness of the Alternate Dimension..."

"I don't wish for you to die right now. At least wait until I come into contact with all of that."

Li Yu: "..."

Coming out of the laboratory, Li Yu prepared to head to the Barot Civilization. His transfer order had come down not long after Keya left.

However, he was waiting for the Alien Queen's fusion to complete, hence delaying for two days.

The two fleets accompanying him were the Splitting Tiger Fleet and the Black Wolf Fleet, both veteran fleets with fleet histories nearing a thousand years.

They had dazzling performances in quite a few local campaigns.

At the same time, they were also fleets leaning towards Titus. They were originally executing missions in a certain civilization and ended up being temporarily transferred back.

Adding the Meteor Fleet, these three fleets combined had deployed over five thousand warships, sufficient to sweep across many small civilizations.

Outside the Central Star System, a massive number of warships hovered here, even making quite a bit of news. They were discussed by many people, wondering what had happened again.

After all, many incidents had occurred within Returning Star's borders recently, making people panicky.

One of the deep yellow main ships had a ferocious exterior, fully exuding rugged characteristics. The tiger head pattern on its side further highlighted this temperament.

In the lounge of the main ship, two people stood facing each other. The clinking of glass cups was exceptionally clear, and the reddish-brown liquid sparkled with a hazy color.

"Soli, you old geezer, you're still as perverted as ever..." One of them, looking slightly younger, teased, "I still remember last time in the Philia Civilization, you even forced their queen to sleep with you..."

"Das, that was something from when pigs fly..." Soli, sporting a white beard and hair tied to the back of his head, shook his head and said, "Furthermore, she was willing."

The two chatted for a while before Soli pointed out meaningfully, "When are we setting off? The transfer order came down two days ago."

"Setting off?" A smile hung on Das's lips: "Then we have to wait for that nouveau riche to be ready first. He is highly regarded by big shots from all sides."

"I heard Justin and Booth both gave him the best, not hesitating to offend several commanders for it. I heard the Mechanical Hull-Breaker Beasts originally allocated to you were cut by half?"

"Heh..." Soli sneered, "Those two cowards only know how to flatter and fawn. So what if his reputation is great? Only strength is everything."

Das added, "I heard he could unleash a 70,000-Calorie attack right after becoming an A-Tier Lifeform, and was highly valued by His Highness Titus. Unfortunately, the invitation was refused..."

Both of them were Titus's people. Li Yu refusing Titus's invitation was clearly slapping the faces of this group of people.

"Being arrogant and haughty is not a good thing." Soli shook his head.

"That's natural..." Das was noncommittal, raising his glass to clink with him.

The two chatted until the afternoon before a subordinate reported: "Just received a notification. Commander Li Yu is ready and can set off at any time."

"Oh?" The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with unknown meanings.

.........

"Commander Soli, Commander Das, I have long heard of the illustrious names of you two. I didn't expect to have the opportunity to work with you both this time." Li Yu's attitude was very good, after all, it was because of him that time was delayed.

The holographic screen was split into two pieces. Neither of the two had a good expression towards Li Yu.

"It's fine. Commander Li Yu is a busy man. Delaying for only two days has already made us very surprised," Das said in a sarcastic tone.

Soli simply didn't speak, directly ignoring Li Yu. His eyes narrowed slightly, yet he didn't get angry, but instead changed the subject: "Since that is the case, two Commanders, let us set off."

"No problem." Das nodded. Soli still ignored Li Yu, and the screen turned off. Hunter leaned over: "These two don't seem to be targeting you purely because you delayed time."

"I know." Li Yu nodded. For the coordinated action of these three fleets this time, there should reasonably be a commander-in-chief, otherwise, in case something happens, three commanders with three opinions would be very difficult to handle.

Yet there just so happened to be no designated commander-in-chief, which was interesting.

Even though their three fleets weren't going to intervene directly, and there were more personnel deployments secretly, they were only acting as a backup measure while also being a deterrent.

But even so, it shouldn't be this loose. Many thoughts flitted through Li Yu's mind, yet he had no clues and could only temporarily put this issue aside.

The three fleets shared coordinates, preparing to coordinate their entry into the Stargate.

Returning Star did not have a Stargate that directly reached Barot. After all, Barot was still an independent civilization; what would it mean to have a Stargate directly reaching Returning Star in their home?

Last time when Klein returned to Returning Star from Barot, it was only after arriving at Returning Star's border that a temporary Stargate was opened.

Their route was to pass through the Stargate to reach the Returning Star border, and then arrive at Barot through the warp channel.

This period of time wasn't short. Klein's return time last time could be considered fast because she used the Black Knight, after all, one of Horus's former rides, possessing superior performance.

However, this time the number of warships was too high. Ordinary warships couldn't reach the performance of the Black Knight, and the time consumed would also be drastically lengthened.

It took them only five minutes to pass through the Stargate to arrive at the border, yet heading to the Barot Civilization took a full twenty-three days.

During this period, Das and Soli seemed to have forgotten he even existed. Even if the Meteor Fleet needed to exchange information, they needed to contact them multiple times to get a reply.

"Your Excellency Commander, they are truly going too far. They didn't consult you about the action plan at all. Only after deciding on their own authority did they notify us. Their attitude is too arrogant!"

Welsh rushed over angrily, wearing a neat military uniform with a fractured star emblem on his chest.

He was the assistant selected by Hunter, an outstanding military officer from a military school with outstanding abilities.

Li Yu didn't turn all the soldiers who joined later into his believers. In that case, if a battle broke out, it would be extremely troublesome.

Everyone would put his safety first and fundamentally not care about the battle situation.

Moreover, the number of these soldiers was too small. Even if they were converted, it wouldn't bring him much buff.

Li Yu hovered cross-legged in midair, resting with his eyes closed, sensing the Force Seed thriving in his mental sea. An invisible power brewed all around.

This was the reward from the Second Clone. After the Second Clone was deployed to the [Star Wars World], due to the influence of the [Butterfly Effect], he was unsurprisingly swept into various baffling incidents.

Because of his identity issue, he was suspected by Republic soldiers of being a rebel and suffered arrest. After exposing his strength, he attracted the attention of many people, even mobilizing Force cultivators.

Unfortunately, they were still no match for the clone. Right now, he had already seized a spaceship and left the planet where the deployment occurred.

However, it was exactly because of the several battles that Li Yu obtained the most important reward.

[Obtained Special Item—Force Seed: A supernatural yet omnipresent mysterious power, possessing powerful potential.

Upon use, gain the Force, intensity depends on mental power.

Note: This seed has no distinction between darkness and light; it is purely a seed.]

The Force relied on mental power. This sounded very reasonable; generally, if the inner heart is strong, the Force is strong, which sounds easy to accept.

And Li Yu's mental power, very coincidentally, had already reached the A-class category, directly saving his Force evolution a long period of time.

According to the [Apostle]'s detection, his mental power belonged to Level Five, barely able to pilot a [Two-Winged Apostle].

Li Yu also knew that there was no limit to physical evolution, and mental power was likely the same.

He didn't know how terrifying the mental power of the twelve Councilors of the Radiant Council was.

However, those were temporarily still relatively distant from him. The Force Seed integrated into his mental sea, supporting his Divinity Core.

The potential of the Force was extraordinary. Telekinesis was just one of them. Developed to an advanced stage, it could even kill people across star sectors; it could be said to be extremely powerful.

Li Yu looked up at Welsh. He could vaguely sense the anger in Welsh's heart, which was also an effect of the Force.

"Calm down, Welsh. Someone is helping us handle everything, isn't that good?" Li Yu's tone was peaceful.

"But..." Welsh was indignant: "They put you in their eyes too little."

"Little Welsh, just watch..." Hunter stood up and patted his shoulder: "The grass on the graves of those who didn't put him in their eyes is already three meters high."

Welsh blinked and looked at Li Yu sitting cross-legged in midair.
