Chapter 349: The Absurd Progression of Donovan's Situation is Unimaginable

"Is it here?"

Donovan looked up at the Starry Sky on the Holographic Screen. He had arrived in this vicinity based on the coordinates provided by that Grey Snake informant.

However, apart from a Barren Planet nearby, not even the shadow of a fleet could be seen.

"Has the Meditation Fleet already left?" Donovan guessed. That informant had told him the Meditation Fleet was constantly moving.

He would update the coordinates in real-time. The coordinates provided previously were merely temporary.

But six or seven days had already passed. Apart from providing these coordinates at the very beginning, the other party hadn't updated them at all subsequently.

"Brother Donovan, you brought me here, but what exactly are we tracking?" Aruna's annoying face surfaced on the Holographic Screen.

"You'll know once we track it down," Donovan replied perfunctorily.

"Then I shall wait for your good news." Aruna laughed very heartily, but it made Donovan even more displeased.

He simply opened his Smart Terminal, ready to question that informant. However, the communication connection only rang once before being hung up by the other party.

"He actually dared to hang up my communication connection!?" Donovan was taken aback at first, and then a look of confusion appeared on his face.

He was a High Echelon commander of the Four-Armed Titan Legion and a major client of Grey Snake.

Was this informant tired of living?

To actually dare to reject his communication!

However, before he could fly into a rage, a message suddenly popped up on the interface.

"Respected Commander Donovan, you can carefully investigate what exactly is nearby."

It was a message from that informant. Although the wording was quite respectful, it didn't extinguish the anger in Donovan's heart.

Wait... he abruptly froze. He had never revealed his Identity information. How did this informant know his Identity?

He initiated the communication connection again, only to find that the other party had actually blocked him!

While this made Donovan's anger boil, he finally sensed something was wrong. The events currently unfolding were fraught with suspicion.

"Announce for the fleet to enter Level Two Alert!"

He immediately ordered, then asked deeply: "Are there any abnormal situations nearby?"

"Report, apart from an asteroid belt and a Barren Planet nearby, no abnormal situations have been discovered for the time being."

His Subordinate quickly brought up the images. Whether it was the asteroid belt stretching hundreds of thousands of kilometers or that Barren Planet, everything looked very normal.

"Send Reconnaissance Ships to these two places to take a look!"

Donovan issued the order. Immediately, several Reconnaissance Ships from the massive fleet flew towards the two different directions.

He frowned tightly, staring at the Holographic Screen. He vaguely had a feeling of unease, as if a pair of invisible, giant hands were enveloping him.

.........

"Hehe, not knowing what's going on is exactly right!" Anthony was in a good mood, looking at the words "Blocked" displayed on his Smart Terminal.

Donovan had already arrived at the coordinate location, so the Excuse he used previously to Con Donovan into going there no longer held water.

Donovan would eventually become suspicious of him anyway, so he might as well directly block him for a quick thrill.

They were currently navigating the Ancient Starpath, but since Yilisi's Spaceship had relatively poor kinetic energy, it would still take a few days to reach the coordinate location.

After Li Yu learned from Anthony's mouth that Donovan had already arrived at the coordinate point, he pondered slightly.

If the people ambushing him weren't from the Star Glory Empire, then there would inevitably be a battle between them and Donovan.

His hope was to enter quietly and take away the Heart of the Titan without alerting anyone.

It would be best not to let others know the Heart of the Titan had fallen into his hands, otherwise it would very likely cause a subsequent chain reaction.

Especially Titus; no one dared to underestimate the power controlled by this real-authority eldest prince.

It was just that this was a beautiful ideal. The Heart of the Titan would definitely be placed in the most crucial location, so the difficulty of taking it away without alerting anyone would probably be extremely high.

Glancing at the current positions of the Return Star and Meditation Fleets, although they were a step slower than Donovan, they were also very close to the coordinate location.

If they fought, the more chaotic it was, the better!

.........

On the Barren Planet, Keek frowned tightly, looking at the large number of red dots displayed on the temporary command system.

"Boss, according to intelligence, those coming should be a branch fleet of the Four-Armed Titan Legion, and the commander is Donovan." Someone nearby explained:

"He also appeared in that three-party chaotic battle previously. He should be in charge of the Heart of the Titan."

"I know who he is!" Keek's mood was very bad: "What I want to know is why he appeared here!"

The others Looked at Each Other in Dismay; none of them could give an answer to this.

Farley looked at Keek's dangerously flashing eyes and hastily explained: "It has nothing to do with us. I don't even know what channels you used to contact Returning Star's High Echelon."

Keek felt depressed inwardly. They submitted the plan to the Headquarters, and the steps were executed by the Headquarters. They also didn't know whose channels the Headquarters used to transfer Li Yu over.

Could it be that the Headquarters leaked the secret?

Keek couldn't figure it out and could only say deeply: "Our target is only Li Yu. Clashing with the Star Glory Empire is not within the scope of our plan."

"Boss, their Reconnaissance Ships are about to enter the range of the Traps we set," a Squad Member quickly reported.

Keek's expression changed. The Traps they set were meant to target Li Yu and the high-level lifeforms of Returning Star that would appear alongside him.

In this kind of situation now, even if they turned off the Traps, it would be useless. With the Advanced Detection Equipment equipped on those Reconnaissance Ships, it would be very easy to discover those Weaponry devices at close range.

"Prepare for battle!?" Keek gritted his teeth, but was helpless. Donovan's appearance was completely unexpected.

The entire Ancient Starpath was so massive, why did the other party happen to appear here of all places!?

"...Detection Probes have been deployed and are currently scanning the star system data..."

Five Reconnaissance Ships distributed in a grid pattern simultaneously entered from various directions around the planet.

"Warning, anti-Warp field detected, please stop advancing!"

"Warning, eddy-current disruption magnetic field detected, unknown field detected... Warning... Warning!"

Ear-piercing alarms sounded in one of the Reconnaissance Ships. The Captain's expression changed drastically. He quickly issued a warning and transmitted the intelligence data to the Main Ship.

"Hmm?" After receiving the information, Donovan quickly magnified this Barren Planet.

"Was I drawn here just because of this planet?" A sharp glint flashed in Donovan's eyes: "Surround this planet, I want to see what exactly is on this planet!"

Over fifteen thousand warships surrounded this planet tightly from all directions. From time to time, there were flashes of explosion Fire; that was the fleet clearing the nearby Trap devices.

Keek saw this scene from the Tactical Display and also felt an oppressive sensation rushing towards his face.

The reason he dared to scheme against Returning Star was because the people led by Keya no longer had many fleets, and they only needed to deal with those High-Level Lifeforms.

But against the sky full of warships before his eyes, plus Donovan, their chances of winning were very low.

Who exactly leaked the secret!

Keek clenched his fists tightly, wishing he could tear that person to shreds!

"Boss, what do we do now?" A Squad Member inquired, his expression similarly very bad.

"Do not expose ourselves, wait for Returning Star's people to arrive." Keek quickly thought of a countermeasure: "Relying on us alone is insufficient to fight against the Star Glory Empire. We must wait for Returning Star's people to arrive to break this deadlock!"

......

"Commander Donovan, according to detection, there are no traces of life on this planet." Hearing his Subordinate's report, Donovan frowned tightly.

Since there was a large number of Traps on the periphery of the planet, it meant there must be people on the planet, but the other party had hidden themselves.

"Brother Donovan, you're being too unauthentic. We are supposed to share intelligence." Aruna popped out again, dissatisfied.

Donovan initially wanted to brush him off perfunctorily, but on second thought, he spoke again: "You're right, Commander Aruna. I received news that the Heart of the Titan is very likely on this planet."

"Are you sure?" Aruna's eyes widened.

"Nine times out of ten..." Donovan's expression remained as usual, while simultaneously appearing somewhat troubled: "However, the other party has probably hidden themselves. The Scanners haven't found any traces of them."

"I can lead people down to search!" Aruna immediately said, Impatient.

Donovan was waiting precisely for these words. Who knew what exactly was on the planet, it was better to send Aruna down to scout the way first.

Under Aruna's repeated insistence, Donovan reluctantly agreed.

Aruna led his people to land on this Barren Planet. He looked up at the fleet encircling the planet, a sneer appearing on the corners of his mouth.

How could he be Conned by Donovan's intelligence. It was nothing more than to lower his vigilance. Scheming... it's all scheming.

"Reconnaissance Ship Z-7 discovered an Alloy Reaction, let's go take a look." Aruna glanced at the coordinates on his Smart Terminal and ordered.

Searching the entire Barren Planet was extremely difficult. They could only start by picking places with abnormal reactions.

After Aruna arrived at the coordinate location, he found a large amount of alloy fragments on the Ground.

"Commander, this is Weijie Alloy, mostly used to manufacture the outer shells of high-end Spaceships." His Subordinate quickly analyzed and reported.

"Follow the traces and continue searching..." Aruna looked down at the scattered alloy fragments and said deeply.

Time flowed away. In the blink of an eye, two days passed. Aruna squatted on the Ground, rubbing the yellow sand in his hands: "Interesting..."

After two days of tracking, he could basically confirm that there was indeed a hidden faction on this planet.

However, this faction was playing a game of hide-and-seek with him. Precisely to avoid being discovered by the massive fleet, they didn't dare to erupt their power and could only move on foot.

And with more and more clues, the space for the other party to hide was becoming smaller and smaller.

Keek led the crowd to hide in a certain cave. He also felt that their Survival Space was being compressed. The other party was consciously shrinking the encirclement.

Unable to use Class A Might, their discovery was only a matter of time.

"Boss, if Returning Star still doesn't come, we..." a Squad Member spoke, full of worry. However, the next moment, accompanied by a muffled sound, the cave entrance was directly blown open.

"Found you." Aruna stepped inside with a grim smile.

A powerful Aura surged over overwhelmingly. Keek's expression abruptly sank. Why were they suddenly found!?

Aruna looked around at the crowd, his gaze abruptly stopping on Farley and Wade, a look of astonishment flowing in his eyes.

He recognized these two people; they were clearly the Captain and Vice-Captain of the Hermit Squad.

They were also the people they were searching for so painstakingly, who held the Heart of the Titan.

They were actually really here. Donovan didn't lie to me!?

Aruna didn't expect the Heart of the Titan was really on this planet. At the time, he thought Donovan was lying to him.

Could it be that he misunderstood Donovan?

But immediately, he suddenly woke up and quickly retreated!

The soldiers following beside him were all shocked. Why did Commander Aruna suddenly run away?

"Realized it!?" Keek snorted coldly: "Too late!?"

Aruna didn't know their Strength, which was why he dared to strut in.

But after seeing Farley and Wade, he realized it. The Strength of this group of people was definitely not low, otherwise it would be impossible to capture these two A-Tier Lifeforms alive.

Keek's figure disappeared from its original spot, smashing through a large number of soldiers blocking the doorway.

Boom!

Aruna's figure in mid-air was directly blasted down, like a shooting star, smashing into the sandy ground.

At the same time, Donovan also received two reports.

"Donovan, I found the Heart of the Titan, and at the same time there are eight A-Tier Lifeforms!" This was Aruna's report, with urgency in his tone.

"Commander, high-energy reactions suspected to be A-Tier Lifeforms have been detected on the planet." This was his Subordinate's report.

Donovan was extremely astonished. What did Aruna just say? He found the Heart of the Titan? The Heart of the Titan is really on this planet?

Previously, he was just Conning Aruna, he didn't expect the Prophecy Comes True.

This is fking... too absurd.

Wait... what exactly is the Identity of that Grey Snake informant? It was he who reminded him that something was wrong with this planet. Did he already confirm beforehand that the Heart of the Titan was on this planet?

Who exactly is he!

"Commander Donovan, multiple high-energy reactions have been detected, all are A-Tier Lifeforms!"

"Commander Aruna is requesting support!"

"..."

The noisy sounds all around brought Donovan back to his senses. No matter what was hidden behind this, his only mission right now was to get the Heart of the Titan.

His gaze firmed up, and he immediately issued an order: "Activate Class-A Combat Plan, all A-Tier Lifeforms go down to support Aruna!"

However, right after he finished speaking, he heard his Subordinate urgently continue reporting:

"Commander Donovan, a small number of unknown fleets have been detected approaching!"

"Commander, a large number of unknown fleets have been detected approaching!"

Donovan abruptly looked up at the two suddenly appearing fleets, and then his expression changed drastically:

"How could it be them!?"
