Chapter 310: Purple-Blooded Titan

The Barot Civilization was also bitter in their hearts. Did you think they wanted to get involved in this?

If this matter had nothing to do with the Barot Civilization, you could fight however you wanted, and they would only hold their popcorn and watch the show.

But the problem was that the essence of this matter was brought about by the Barot Civilization's improper handling.

In case a dog-eat-dog fight broke out and the losses further expanded, Barot would also be in a very troublesome situation.

Therefore, they could only pinch their noses and go break up the fight, using the excuse of a border violation to intervene in the battle.

"The Spartacus Dreadnought possesses planet-destroying level methods known as the Sunset Judgment. It cannot be forcefully opposed." Soli also breathed a sigh of relief. He also didn't want to continue fighting; having someone mediate now was just right.

However, he was deeply afraid that Li Yu would throw another crazy fit and cause some unexpected trouble, so he hurriedly reminded him.

Planet-destroying level methods generally referred to life planets, rather than small satellites or the like.

At the very least, they were attacks of millions of Cal energy levels, clearly not something the current Li Yu could forcefully oppose.

Hunter turned off Ghostly Whisper. No wonder this main ship was coveted by various major commanders. This kind of attack method was indeed very covert and difficult to detect.

The imposing aura on Li Yu's body gradually subsided. Donovan's two missing right arms were also self-repairing; the bones and blood vessel networks rapidly healed, and before long, they grew back anew.

He stared closely at Li Yu, as if wanting to brand him deeply into his mind.

"We will meet again!" His muffled voice was sent over through the network. Li Yu chuckled lightly and replied, "Remember to wash your neck clean next time."

This session of exchanging harsh words quickly ended. Donovan led his people back to the fleet.

However, he didn't notice that when the two brushed past each other, a few imperceptible golden runes fell onto his body.

This battle lasted for a very short time, and the casualties were limited.

The Four-Armed Titan Fleet had two warships destroyed, and another three warships suffered small-scale damage.

The three Returning Star fleets had no destructions; at most, roughly over a dozen ships were damaged. This kind of battle loss simply amounted to nothing.

Calling it a "war" was somewhat insulting to the word "war"; at most, it could be considered a small-scale friction.

And that silver-white spaceship was defaulted to being Returning Star's spoils of war, or rather, Li Yu's spoils of war.

Donovan had already failed and naturally didn't have any qualifications to meddle.

The Barot general also breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness... it was brought under control.

He was located in the command center of the Spartacus Dreadnought. The true captain wasn't him; he was merely a megaphone responsible for passing messages.

The Four-Armed Titan Fleet entered the warp state and subsequently disappeared into this starry sky.

Li Yu looked up at the massive Spartacus Dreadnought. This dreadnought didn't have any escort frigates around it either. Perhaps it was because its escort frigates couldn't keep up with its speed.

Given the form of the war just now, they could only have this dreadnought arrive first to prevent the war from further expanding.

Inside the silver-white spaceship, Cree and Keri looked at each other in dismay, both feeling a sense of surviving after a disaster.

"Sister, we survived?" Keri still felt a bit dreamy.

"Yes..." Cree knew that after sending away the Star Glory Empire, they would next have to face Returning Star. For them, the situation hadn't improved much.

The only difference was that the Star Glory Empire had too many bargaining chips, so they were dispensable, while Returning Star only had them.

The spaceship was towed into the fleet by Returning Star's aircraft. Along with the opening of the blast door, soldiers armed with loaded guns appeared in front of the two.

Keri couldn't help but grip his sister's hand tightly, and Cree also hugged Keri tightly.

"Everyone, you can enter the border now..." The megaphone general initiated a connection again, carrying a warm smile on his face.

However, none of the three gave him a good look, especially Soli, who seemed to vent all the resentment he had suffered from Li Yu onto the other party.

"Does the Barot Civilization still have a place for us?" Soli satirized. "Those who don't know might think you are allies of the Star Glory Empire."

On the interstellar stage, signed alliances wouldn't explicitly state treaties like "after playing with us, you can't play with others."

But everyone basically knew it full well in their hearts; it belonged to unspoken rules. This was especially true given the extremely incompatible situation between Returning Star and the Star Glory Empire.

"This... involves the Reformers, we also have no choice." The other party apologized with a smile repeatedly.

This was the helplessness of a small civilization. The Barot Civilization could no longer be considered a small civilization, but compared to Returning Star and the Star Glory Empire, the gap was still too large.

Although Soli complained verbally, his body was still very honest, obediently following the Spartacus Dreadnought into Barot territory.

And Li Yu, Soli, and Das also gathered together, preparing to meet the remnants of the Reformers.

Three chairs. An interesting situation arose: unless the three sat in a circle, there definitely had to be a center position.

And when meeting captives, the three certainly couldn't sit in a circle. Das looked at his nose, and his nose looked at his heart; maintaining his composure, he walked towards the chair on the far right.

Soli's expression changed, his heart filled with various internal struggles. Finally, he still sighed inwardly and obediently sat on the far left, leaving the most central position empty.

Li Yu had already proven himself with his strength. He could hammer them until they exploded at any time. Soli wasn't a fool; how could he compete with Li Yu over such a trivial matter.

Li Yu didn't care about seats or whatever, but the two being so tactful made him feel quite amused.

Taking his seat in the middle, the metal floor raised slightly, so as not to result in a situation where the three of them sitting on chairs would actually have to look up at the captives.

The blast door opened, and Cree and Keri, led by the soldiers, arrived here.

Cree immediately sized up the three of them, instantly locking onto Li Yu in the center. She was no stranger to this person; it could even be said his name rang like thunder in her ears.

The discussions about him within the Reformers were very loud. Some people believed he was worth winning over, while others believed his behavioral style was too profit-oriented and didn't align with the Reformers' ideals.

Keri was somewhat fearful; the imposing aura from these three people made him somewhat unable to breathe.

Li Yu—owner of the Golden Cross Medal, owner of the Sword-Bearer Medal, Honorary Baron of Returning Star, the man who kidnapped an Imperial Noble, and simultaneously had scandals with Klein and the Mermaid Princess...

This was a prominent figure. It was hard to imagine that these matters were all things this guy had done within a year.

"Where is the Gene Optimization Device?" Soli got straight to the point and asked directly.

The Gene Optimization Device was the Star Glory Empire's "moat" in interstellar society. Quite a few civilizations desperately fawned over them because of the Gene Optimization Device.

It was said that that thing was built based on technological methods left behind by the Titans, making it nearly impossible to replicate.

Not only could it perform gene optimization, it could even repair the damage caused by gene liberation.

However, the civilizations gifted with the Gene Optimization Device by the Star Glory Empire could be counted on one's fingers, and the Amethyst Civilization was one of them.

Quite a few civilizations and factions came specifically for the Gene Optimization Device. Yet not long after the situation in Amethyst grew turbulent, the strictly guarded Gene Optimization Device actually vanished into thin air.

This not only made Amethyst furious but made the Star Glory Empire exceptionally angry.

"I don't know the exact location of the Gene Optimization Device." Cree wasn't afraid. Facing the three commanders, she still remained composed.

"Are you toying with us?" Soli's voice was ice-cold. He looked at the somewhat fearful Keri: "Take this boy down, soak him in highly concentrated sulfuric acid, and simultaneously inject Vitality Serum."

Highly concentrated sulfuric acid would corrode a biological creature's skin and muscles, while the Vitality Serum would rapidly repair them. This was a relatively common torture method.

Cree's expression immediately changed slightly, while Keri was similarly a bit dumbfounded. Why did it suddenly involve me? I don't know anything.

Discerning persons could all tell that Cree had weathered many storms, while Keri was incomparably tender and naive.

The relationship between the two was extraordinary. Using torture on Keri to force Cree to submit couldn't be more normal.

Several soldiers immediately stepped forward to take Keri away.

"I just don't know the specific location, but I know clues!" Cree hurriedly spoke.

However, Soli remained unmoved, his expression still indifferent. He wanted to make this woman recognize clearly who the prisoner was right now. Keep people in suspense, but one must distinguish the situation clearly.

Keri's face was pale, his teeth chattering uncontrollably. Purple light flickered in his eyes...

"Scram, all of you!" He shouted loudly. An abundant aura burst forth from his body. The surface of his skin was gradually covered in purple, and his body continuously expanded, finally reaching three meters tall, muscles bulging.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He casually swung his arms, and his giant palms slapped the surrounding soldiers flying, crashing into the ship walls.

"Interesting..." Li Yu's eyes flashed slightly... Is this a superpower? Doesn't seem like it...

Soli's face was gloomy, and he was immediately about to strike. Cree hurriedly blocked in front of Keri, no longer as calm as before, and said hurriedly: "He... he's just emotionally agitated, he's not a threat, please rest assured!"

"He is... a Purple-Blooded Titan?" Das had a peculiar look in his eyes, seeming to have recognized it.

"Purple-Blooded Titan?" Soli frowned: "Hasn't this creature gone extinct?"

A Purple-Blooded Titan was also a Titan Creation. However, compared to a Four-Armed Titan, a Purple-Blooded Titan was even more powerful, and also even rarer.

Their form of existence was rather peculiar; any race had the possibility of becoming a Purple-Blooded Titan.

But a certain journal of the Black Blood Institute indicated that even when the number of Purple-Blooded Titans existing simultaneously was at its highest, there weren't even a million of them.

Relative to the vastness of the known universe, this number could already be called endangered. Later, they became nearly extinct, not having appeared for a very long time.

Li Yu gently raised his hand, and Keri involuntarily flew up, his eyes filled with panic and loss.

At the same time, his figure began to slowly shrink, gradually returning to the size of a normal person.

"Eh?" Das was clearly somewhat confused. "Didn't they say that once a Purple-Blooded Titan awakens, they can no longer revert to their original race?"

"Did he use the Gene Optimization Device?" Das guessed.

Cree's expression changed several times, knowing that this matter couldn't be hidden. She could only nod.

Gene Optimization Device... Li Yu pondered secretly in his heart, suddenly having a whimsical idea. He wondered if that thing could optimize genes from other worlds.

It should be able to. If it could only fixedly optimize certain genes, it definitely wouldn't have such massive value.

Repairing the damage caused by gene liberation, and possibly optimizing genes from other worlds... Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Keri, do you still remember me?" Li Yu put him down and asked.

This was his first time speaking, yet he didn't ask anything about the Gene Optimization Device.

"You?" Keri hadn't recovered from his panic yet and looked at him somewhat confusedly.

Li Yu chuckled lightly, and his appearance began to change. This made Keri's eyes widen, and he said with some pleasant surprise, "You are... Big Fatty... Great Good Person!"

How could Keri forget this face? It was him who casually took out a hundred thousand Star Coins, giving him the chance to rescue his sister.

Although it was precisely because of this rescue that his worldview collapsed.

Li Yu abruptly widened his eyes, looking at this little guy suspiciously. What was he trying to say just now?

Keri actually knows Li Yu? Cree was still somewhat confused. In No Man's Land, Li Yu could be said to be walking everywhere in disguises.

The alias Keri saw and the alias when seeing Cree were not the same one, so Cree still hadn't made the connection up to now.

Soli and Das looked at each other, suddenly having a bad premonition.

"I didn't expect we were actually old acquaintances. Let them go, let them go..." Li Yu instructed the soldiers.

The soldiers stepped forward and unlocked the shackles on Cree's body.

Fuck, this little bastard wants to cut us out!

Soli and Das instantly understood what Li Yu wanted to do. Using the name of acquaintances to let the two off, and then swallowing the Gene Optimization Device all by himself.

"Ahem..." Das coughed dryly twice. "These two are Reformers after all. It's not very good for you to do this, right?"

Li Yu asked in confusion, "Within Returning Star's borders, the Reformers seem to only be a Level-3 Alert Organization, not a Level-5 Kill-on-Sight Organization, right..."

The main battlefield of the Reformers was in the Star Glory Empire. Although their reputation wasn't very good, they could barely survive within Returning Star's borders.

"This..." Das laughed awkwardly a few times, not knowing how to continue.

"By doing this, is His Excellency the Baron not afraid of His Highness Titus getting angry?" Soli said with slight displeasure.

They were Titus's people, and Li Yu was Klein's person. Essentially, there was a conflict, especially when facing this kind of entanglement of interests.

Although they couldn't beat Li Yu, Li Yu could also casually beat and kill them, unless he didn't want to continue mixing around in Returning Star anymore.

Li Yu turned his head to look at Soli. He could vaguely sense that his emotions carried dissatisfaction and apprehension, but only lacked fear.

Li Yu revealed a warm smile. He raised his palm, and his thumb and index finger gradually pinched together.

In an instant... Soli abruptly felt as if his heart was being pinched by something, ready to explode at any moment.

"Next time, use your brain before you speak. If you don't need it, I can help you take it out." Li Yu's voice was calm, but falling into Soli's ears, it was no less than a thunderclap.

"Commander Soli, I suddenly remembered we still have some matters to handle, let's leave first," Das noticed something was wrong and hurriedly stood up and said.

Soli nodded with difficulty, his face flushed red. Only then did Li Yu release his hand.

In the next moment, Soli panted heavily, retreating repeatedly, his face alternating between green and red. Finally, he didn't utter a word and left the place with Das.

"...So powerful..." Keri looked at Li Yu with a reverent gaze.

Li Yu smiled slightly, appearing extremely amiable.

But Cree clearly hadn't let down her guard, until syllables akin to explosive thunder fell into her ears. Her gaze gradually lost focus.

Beating around the bush? Li Yu wouldn't waste time. Since there were simpler and more direct methods, why not use them?
