Chapter 340: It's Actually You!

The rolling flesh and blood behind him chased Li Yu like a tide, tearing apart everything along the way.

Li Yu scurried around the ship's hull, seemingly flustered, but highly purposeful, heading in one direction.

Although his attack power and defense capabilities had greatly increased, due to the characteristics of Flesh Proliferation, Brooks's mobility was drastically reduced.

"This form of his actually makes it convenient for me to act." Li Yu pondered secretly: "This guy seems to think I'm going to fight him to the death. There's no benefit, only an idiot would fight him to the bitter end."

Brooks's previous combat form was convenient and fast, and Li Yu couldn't extract himself from the battle to head to the Command Center either.

Although Meditation's Main Ship was extremely long, Li Yu's movement speed was also very fast. He tore straight through all the walls and barged into the Command Center.

The few remaining deputy commanders were feeling somewhat uneasy. Because the surveillance cameras were all destroyed, they were completely ignorant of the battle situation.

Now seeing Li Yu barging in, looks of horror couldn't help but appear on their faces.

"Did Your Excellency Brooks fail!?"

"Who are you!?"

"..."

A chaotic clamor flooded into Li Yu's ears. He paid no attention to it. His eyes quickly locked onto the target, and with a flash, he arrived in front of the Command Console.

The 【Titan Colonization Armor】 extended a plug and began to hack into the core Database, but this would take some time.

"Master, I need three minutes!"

Li Yu's eyes darkened slightly. Three minutes... that's not short...

"What are you doing!" A deputy commander shouted loudly, a firm sense of dying a heroic death in his eyes.

Bang!

The wall of the Command Center was torn apart, and a thick arm condensed from flesh and blood abruptly dug its way in, coincidentally smashing this deputy commander blocking the front into pieces.

Moreover, its momentum didn't diminish, charging straight towards Li Yu.

With the Mechanical Great Axe in hand, Thrusters split open all over the 【Titan Colonization Armor】 to provide powerful propulsion support.

The Dark Gold Mechanical Great Axe extended layer by layer. The sharp axe edge cleaved through the giant hand of flesh and blood, but got stuck in a certain position, unable to advance a single inch.

"Running to the Command Center to wait for death? This tomb was chosen just right." Brooks's tone became even more twisted. This distorted form made him even crazier.

Time to use full strength. Li Yu's mind focused. Golden energy flames surged all over his body, and his pupils also turned golden. The Aura on his body subsequently rose along with it.

He stirred up the angry emotions in his heart. A steady stream of power surged from deep within his body, and a terrifying Aura swept out overwhelmingly.

The 【Titan Colonization Armor】 also underwent changes. The Energy Engines embedded all over its body, obtained through several Devourings, operated at full speed.

Nine Golden Nano-Spheres suspended behind his back, reflecting a dazzling ring, ready to form various Weapons and protective Energy Barriers at any time.

And the 【Titan Colonization Armor】 itself turned into a Chaos Color. The Force steadily flowed into it, increasing its defense.

Saiyan Form!

Hulk's Blessing!

【Titan Colonization Armor】 – Asura Form!

Force Energy Supply!

All conventional trump cards played!

Holding Thor's Hammer in his left hand and the Mechanical Great Axe in his right, his other Mechanical Arms held various high-energy Weapons, resembling an immortal mechanical God of War!

This was his first time fighting with all his strength since undergoing Gene Optimization, undergoing Earth-shattering changes compared to before.

"What a powerful Aura!"

The several deputy commanders trembled in fear.

Brooks was similarly somewhat incredulous in his heart that the other party could actually erupt with such a powerful Aura.

His current state was somewhat bizarre. The endless flesh and blood that spread out was equivalent to his organs, which made his sanity unclear.

After a brief shock, a sense of craving came from all over his body.

"Such delicious flesh and blood, become one with me!" Brooks let out a maniacal laugh.

After every Superpower reached A-rank, there would be varying degrees of Metamorphosis.

Brooks's Flesh Proliferation was similarly the same. He could Devour the enemy's flesh and blood to enhance himself.

Boom!

The high-strength glass window on the right side shattered, and the ferocious giant hand of flesh and blood attacked Li Yu.

This time, Li Yu wasn't just struggling to block. Holding Thor's Hammer in his right hand, he clashed head-on with the giant fist of flesh and blood.

Rumble!

A Shockwave erupted, followed by a massive amount of Golden Electric Arcs. A massive explosion occurred within the entire Command Center, and the few remaining deputy commanders flew backwards one after another.

Fortunately, Claptrap had already entered the Internal network through the interface. The superficial destruction now couldn't stop Claptrap's hacking.

The next moment, the Ground beneath Li Yu's feet shattered. He leaped high, shooting a massive number of Energy Beams towards the mass of flesh and blood, while simultaneously raising the Mechanical Great Axe to viciously chop down at the position of the giant hand of flesh and blood.

Bang!

Under the enhancement of powerful Strength, the Mechanical Great Axe didn't get stuck this time, directly chopping off the entire giant hand of flesh and blood.

What was terrifying was that the giant hand of flesh and blood fell to the Ground and still wriggled continuously. Its powerful vitality made people look at it with new eyes.

Brooks let out a miserable wail. In the Flesh Proliferation state, every piece of flesh and blood was his sensory organ.

Having a giant hand of flesh and blood chopped off at the root, this pain was undoubtedly like receiving a slash to his heart.

"Damn it!" Brooks roared angrily. Although it was painful, Li Yu's attack didn't cause him any substantial impact.

A massive amount of flesh and blood gathered again, allowing him to launch another offensive.

The battle between the two was deadlocked, and the entire Main Ship also became Riddled With Holes because of their battle, ready to fall apart at any moment.

This was still the result of Li Yu deliberately controlling most of his power and not letting the shockwaves of the battle spread excessively.

...

On the other side, Koya and the others were attempting to break out of the encirclement. Originally, with Terra's group of three blocked by Soul-Shaking Heaven, their chances were very high.

But Soul-Shaking Heaven dragged Terra's group of three to pursue halfway, resulting in the originally excellent situation being ruined again.

"Who the hell is that guy, where did he come from!?" Dass couldn't help but roar angrily. He was facing Geist. Fluorescent blue water ripples rippled around, converging into a massive ocean suspended in the Starry Sky.

Dass controlled the surging water current. The lethality of the high-speed flowing water current was no less than some highly dangerous energies.

Through a moment of carelessness, Geist was enveloped by a massive amount of water spheres, tantamount to strangulation.

But the next moment, a figure darted out diagonally, forcefully breaking the water spheres from the outside and releasing Geist.

"I %#%..." Dass broke his defense, a large string of Native language bursting from his mouth.

No one could clearly state Soul-Shaking Heaven's origins. The Meditation Fleet previously thought he was from Returning Star, but his current performance also made Terra's group of three somewhat confused.

"Boss, what is that guy doing? Isn't he from Returning Star? Why is he helping us?" Geist was somewhat confused.

"He wants to restrain us and let us continue this stalemate. No matter which of us gains the advantage, he doesn't want to see it." Terra instantly figured out Soul-Shaking Heaven's purpose... but another question followed.

This guy hoped they would remain in a stalemate, but what benefits could a stalemate bring him?

Right at this moment... exclamations suddenly came from the internal communication channel.

"Not good, the Main Ship has been invaded and is offline. We can't contact Commander Brooks, and a battle seems to be occurring inside the Main Ship."

Terra's heart jolted fiercely. Not good! The other party's target is the Main Ship!

"Boss, what do we do? Should we turn back to defend!?" Geist pressed.

Terra's expression was Moody. With Brooks temporarily offline, no one could command them. This made him, who was accustomed to following orders, fall into hesitation.

And hesitation was the least desirable thing on a battlefield.

Koya also discovered the unusualness of the enemy's Main Ship, and she finally understood.

"There is a third party playing tricks in this battle!"

Just as this thought surfaced, she heard her Subordinate's urgent report.

"Report, a large unknown fleet has been discovered approaching from the edge of the battlefield!"

Koya abruptly widened her eyes. Mtherfcker, there's a fourth party!?

Is this what Dass called acting stealthily? He practically just stopped short of announcing the coordinates on the Interstellar Network, right?

A full three factions could find this place, and he still f*cking calls it stealthy!?

Koya's defense was greatly broken. However, now wasn't the time to hold anyone accountable. She held her breath with rapt attention, staring intently at the fourth-party fleet about to enter the field.

This fleet came openly and aboveboard. The standard Emblems on the sides of the warships were enough to prove their Identity.

"It's the Star Glory Empire—the Four-Armed Titan Legion!" Koya's heart sank even more fiercely. This was the worst of the bad news.

.........

In the Main Ship of the Four-Armed Titan Fleet, Donovan stood in front of the Command Console, looking out over the entire battlefield.

After receiving the news from Grey Snake, he rushed over in a hurry and finally arrived here.

Fortunately, the Star Glory Empire originally had arrangements in this section of the Ancient Starpath. By passing through a few Stargates, he didn't miss this feast.

"The Meditation Research Institute really refuses to give up. Is the Heart of the Titan something they can lay their hands on!?" Donovan said coldly.

Theodore was secretly shocked in his heart. Did he hear some incredible news again? I won't be silenced afterwards, right?

The scale of the fleet he brought also reached tens of thousands. It wasn't a pure Four-Armed Titan Fleet; there were also some temporarily drafted from the Amethyst Civilization.

"I seem to see a few acquaintances..." Through combat analysis, Donovan locked his gaze firmly onto Dass and Soli.

"So it's people from Returning Star!" The corners of Donovan's mouth split open. He directly ignored the main force of the Meditation Fleet and instead headed towards the breakout Combat Zone.

This was also the reason for Koya's extreme unease. As old enemies, the Star Glory Empire would definitely greet them first.

.........

Rumble!

Dazzling Energy Radiance erupted. Li Yu dodged the tentacles of flesh and blood shooting from all directions, attacking the bloated, accumulated flesh and blood in the gaps.

"Master, the Database has been cracked, and all data has been completely copied."

Claptrap's message finally came, and Li Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. Brooks in this form was truly very disgusting.

In this Flesh Proliferation state, Brooks's combat power had increased again.

Although Li Yu hadn't fallen into a Desperate Situation, it wasn't too good either.

The 【Titan Colonization Armor】 had scars all over it, which were rapidly being repaired. The Helmet was shattered, revealing more than half his face.

Due to the tense state of the battle, Li Yu hadn't maintained his mimicked appearance.

Therefore, the exposed half of his face made Brooks vaguely feel a bit familiar.

Li Yu was currently unable to penetrate Brooks's bloated flesh and blood to injure his core.

Since the objective had been completed, there was no need for him to continue lingering here.

Densely packed sharp spikes of flesh and blood shot over. Because Claptrap's message slightly distracted Li Yu,

A moment of carelessness resulted in several sharp spikes of flesh and blood nailing onto the 【Titan Colonization Armor】, causing the External Armor to explode, thoroughly revealing his handsome and dashing face in front of Brooks.

"It's you?"

Seeing Li Yu's full face, Brooks couldn't help but let out a shocked cry. He never expected that this guy who dared to barge into the Main Ship was actually one of his targets—Li Yu.

It's just, how could his Strength be so powerful!?

When Brooks came, he received the mission from Meditation to hunt down Li Yu and retrieve the Mental Tempering Device.

He carefully examined the mission intelligence. Although this guy instantly killed the Sleeper, that was a situation where he caught him off guard.

Comparing it laterally with the time he became an A-Tier Lifeform, as well as that battle with Donovan at the doorstep of the Amethyst Civilization.

Under comprehensive consideration, he could still conclude that Li Yu was not his match.

But everything that happened today refreshed his perception. This guy could actually barely fight him to a draw, and his various methods emerged endlessly.

"You actually dared to Walk Into a Trap!?" Brooks instead became incomparably excited. In an instant... the Blood and Flesh Mire spread throughout the entire Main Ship unfolded, attacking like an ocean wave.

The lockdown from all directions left Li Yu with nowhere to hide, but unfortunately, it was of no use to him.

The gemstone Emblem on the chest of the 【Titan Colonization Armor】 flickered. He directly disappeared from his spot, appearing outside the wave of flesh and blood.

"Spatial abilities!?"

Brooks finally understood how exactly Li Yu sneaked in, and how he launched a sneak attack just now.

He was incredulous in his heart. How could this guy possess multiple rare and powerful abilities? For an ordinary A-Tier Lifeform to possess one was already extremely difficult.

"Hello, goodbye!"

After Spatial Leaping out, Li Yu revealed a genial smile to Brooks. The 【Titan Colonization Armor】 was rapidly repairing, and he immediately charged outside the Main Ship.

After undergoing several more Spatial Leaps, it was unknown which warship Li Yu entered. There was no way to trace him, and he thoroughly disappeared.

"I will definitely find you and torture you to death!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

His bloated body left Brooks powerless to pursue. He could only rage incompetently in the Main Ship, venting his anger.

"Not good!"

However, as the sparks of thought intertwined and collided, he abruptly remembered.

The Encryption Key for the 【Sylveus Ring】 from the Research Institute was stored in the Database!

The 【Sylveus Ring】 was one of the cutting-edge Technologies of the Meditation Research Institute. It was a Living Ring forged using an extremely special material.

Apart from the Encryption Key, there was almost no other way to open it.

And Li Yu trying every possible means to infiltrate Meditation's Main Ship absolutely couldn't just be to have a fight with him.

Since he chose to leave now, the Encryption Key had highly likely already been obtained by him.

In the center of the Blood and Flesh Mire, a lump of flesh and blood bulged up, and a stark naked Brooks walked out from within.

And right after he walked out, the rest of the flesh and blood rapidly turned purplish-black and emitted a putrid stench.

Looking around the dilapidated Main Ship, Brooks's expression was extremely ugly. Not only had he been played by the other party, but he had also lost the Encryption Key. It was simply a tremendous humiliation!

"Commander Brooks!" Several deputy commanders stumbled over, their faces still carrying an indescribable terror.

"The core Artificial Intelligence is paralyzed, and there are multiple viewing records in the Database logs. According to analysis, it's highly likely it has already been copied."

The core Database in the Main Ship hid a massive amount of confidential information, and now it had highly likely been breached. This was an emergency!

However, what puzzled them was that there was no surprise or unexpectedness on Commander Brooks's face, only endless grimness and gloominess.

He looked up at the panicked few. The Mechanical Greatsword in his hand vibrated slightly. Once again, he was the only one left in the dilapidated Main Ship.

.........

On the other side of the battlefield, Donovan, wearing heavy Combat Armor, stood in the Starry Sky. He gripped a Silver-White Armored figure in his hand; it was precisely Soul-Shaking Heaven.

Speaking of which, he was also unlucky. Originally, he helped whoever was at a disadvantage. Who knew that when Donovan descended, he happened to be helping the people from Returning Star.

Therefore, he was directly labeled by Donovan as being from Returning Star. Donovan even acted forcefully, capturing him to intimidate everyone.

"Rat of Returning Star, the style of the Armor on your body reminds me of a very annoying person. So, you can go die!" Donovan forcefully hacked into the other party's channel.

At the same time, the fingers gripping the enemy's neck increased their strength. However, he couldn't feel the sensation of any bones shattering.
