Chapter 351: Facing the Battle
Aruna narrowly escaped from Keek's claws, breaking out in a cold sweat all over. If he had squarely taken that hit just now, he would probably be severely injured if not dead.
He couldn't help but look at the armored figure beside him and spoke: "Did Donovan ask you to come help?"
He recognized all the A-Tier Lifeforms belonging to the Four-Armed Titan Legion, such as Jorge and Gongora.
However, Donovan had secretly recruited Theodore later on, so Aruna believed the person in front of him was also someone secretly recruited by Donovan, just like Theodore.
Li Yu's brows twitched slightly. This Four-Armed Titan had even thought of an Excuse for him. The rhetoric he had originally prepared was swallowed back down.
He immediately nodded and said: "That's right, Lord Donovan saw the situation here was disadvantageous and asked me to come over to support."
Aruna snorted coldly. Evidently, this situation of being helped by Donovan made him feel very displeased. But in this current scenario, he couldn't care less about other things, and immediately told Li Yu:
"This creature's combat power is extremely strong, its Energy Level probably exceeds three hundred thousand Cal. In this Gene Liberation form, it's very difficult to deal with."
After finishing, he added hatefully: "I don't even know where these people popped out from. Using the Gene Liberation form to fight right from the start, it's completely a desperate posture."
Hearing this, Li Yu immediately frowned tightly. This didn't match his plan. Judging by the current situation, Donovan wouldn't be able to free his hands in a short time.
The fleet still had to block Returning Star and Meditation. Without exposing his Identity, relying on himself alone would make it very difficult to stop Keek.
But now Aruna was injured and obviously didn't want to continue fighting.
"If no one stops them, the other party probably won't be eager to fight," Li Yu reminded covertly.
Aruna's expression was Moody. Of course he knew this, but compared to the Heart of the Titan, he valued his own life more.
If he lost his life, what was the use of gaining massive Merit?
Li Yu noticed his hesitation. After pondering for a moment, he took out a tube of Green Potion, signaling Aruna to lower his defenses and let him heal him.
"What are you trying to do?"
"This is a secret Healing Potion from my hometown. It has miraculous effects on recovering from injuries."
"Sigh, my Life Energy is massive, what use can your little Healing Potion have, I... md! What did you inject into me?!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Yu stabbed Aruna with a needle, injecting the Special Healing Potion from Star Wars.
This was the Second Clone's recent harvest, though compared to other rewards, it wasn't too eye-catching.
【Obtained Special Item—Advanced Medical Hormone *10: After use, it can temporarily suppress injuries and restore to 80% of pre-injury levels.
Note: The duration is only one hour. After one hour, the injuries will relapse.】
This was merely fake healing, not a complete restoration, so its value wasn't too high.
Aruna originally had a bitter and miserable look on his face, not believing the healing would be useful. But after receiving the injection, his expression suddenly changed, showing a look of aftertaste and shock.
He could feel a surge of surging Life Energy injected into his body. All the Cells in his whole body were cheering and jumping for joy.
It was as if he had eaten a massive tonic. His vitality surged, and the recovery speed of his wounds increased by an unknown number of times.
Although he didn't recover to his peak state, he was also out of the severe injury state.
"What kind of Potion is this? The effect on an A-rank is actually this good?!" Aruna was shocked.
"This is a Healing Potion manufactured using methods from my hometown, extremely rare," Li Yu brushed him off casually.
You won't be saying this in an hour.
"Truly a good thing!" Aruna's eyes were eager: "After this battle, you follow me. Whatever treatment Donovan gives you, I'll double it."
This Aruna actually wanted to recruit him. Li Yu was somewhat surprised and didn't answer immediately.
"Brother, it's fine, take your time to think about it..." Aruna thought the other party was just hesitating.
Li Yu nodded, but felt somewhat amused in his heart, not knowing how wonderful the expression on the other party's face would be when he learned his true Identity.
The battlefield didn't allow them to converse too much. Keek had already discovered the two of them.
"Why did another person suddenly pop out?"
Keek stared vigilantly at that unfamiliar armored person. He didn't feel any sense of threat from the other party, so their Strength shouldn't be strong.
"No, why did the Aura on that guy suddenly recover again? What kind of healing method has such a huge effect?"
He was alarmed and bewildered. Obviously, he wouldn't just stare blankly and let the other party continue.
Especially after discovering that the originally weakened Aura on Aruna had become strong again, he immediately resumed his offensive, also treating that armored person as a target for attack.
On the other side, Keek wasn't too far from Li Yu and Aruna to begin with. With a flash of his massive body, he rushed in front of Li Yu. His giant claw, dragging purple-black aura flames, blasted towards Li Yu's head.
Li Yu decisively activated the Red Lotus State. Scarlet aura flames rose from the gaps in his Armor, simultaneously accompanied by a terrifying Aura.
Most of the abilities on his body had been displayed in battles against outsiders. To avoid exposing his Identity, he could only use the Red Lotus State, which he had never used externally before.
Surging physical strength exploded in his body, pouring into his fist. He abruptly blasted a punch out, bursting with a sonic boom,悍然 (fiercely) meeting force with force.
Bang!!
One large and one small, one fist and one claw collided heavily, detonating a ring of air Shockwave. The surrounding sand and dust were blown away, forming a clear area.
Keek felt a reverberating force no less than his own transmit from his fist. His body uncontrollably flew outwards. He hastily steadied his figure, only to find that Li Yu opposite him had also flown outwards.
Both were knocked back by the other party; their Strength was astonishingly on par!
"How could there be such immense strength?" Keek's rough, beastly face was full of astonishment.
Just now, he hadn't felt any threat from the other party, believing him to be nothing more than an ordinary A-Tier Lifeform.
He didn't expect the other party to turn around and give him a slap. Although this kind of strength couldn't threaten him, it far exceeded his expectations.
Shaking his arm, Li Yu bared his teeth. Relying solely on the Red Lotus State, he clearly wasn't Keek's match.
This time he merely borrowed the advantage of a surprise attack. If Keek was allowed to react, the next offensive would be even more fierce.
He stared at that massive giant beast. The silver metal ring worn around the other party's neck caught his attention. That should be a Space Compression Device.
The Heart of the Titan is very likely inside it, he pondered secretly.
The enemy Keek faced wasn't only Li Yu. The recovered Aruna looked at Li Yu, who was shrouded in red airflow, in surprise.
This person's Strength is extraordinary... What kind of dog shit luck did Donovan have to actually be able to recruit such a Talented person.
No, I must definitely snatch him over. Li Yu's combat power made Aruna even more firm in this thought.
Since he wanted to recruit the other party, he had to display his protective care!
"I'll bear the frontal pressure, you just assist me!"
Aruna said to Li Yu, and immediately charged forward. Although his injuries had recovered, the Combat Armor on his body was already overwhelmed.
To show off his Strength, Aruna simply exploded his clothes directly. The Armor parts shattered and fell all over the sky. His robust muscles were ferocious, and massive power roamed within them.
"Alright!"
Although he didn't know why the other party so proactively took on the frontal pressure, Li Yu was naturally happy with this.
The battle started again. Keek didn't take it to heart originally. Although he didn't know what method Aruna used to recover to a Normal state, it was nothing more than severely injuring the other party once more.
But after fighting for less than two rounds, Keek suddenly discovered that this Four-Armed Titan, for some unknown reason, was acting like he had been injected with chicken blood, and his combat power abruptly rose by several points.
Another Energy Breath, a thick purple-black Light Beam bombarded the naked Aruna. However, even without the Combat Armor,
Aruna was even more valiant, advancing while forcefully enduring the Energy Breath.
"Ya'ah!"
Accompanied by an explosive shout, Aruna rushed out from the Light Beam with a straight punch, blasting onto Keek's head. The thick Light Beam swept wildly, almost affecting the distant battlefield and accidentally injuring friendly forces.
Li Yu followed closely behind, holding the Mechanical Longblade, sparking profusely on Keek's body. But the defensive power of the other party's purple-black Scale Armor was truly astonishing.
Aruna panted heavily, mist-like steam rising from his scarlet skin. Clearly, that scene just now wasn't as easy as he made it out to be.
.........
Further away, more than a dozen A-Tier Lifeforms were engaged in a chaotic melee. Various Elemental Energies covered the sky and earth—flames, Thunder, ice prisms, Magma.
Beams of light intertwined, leaving countless searing and distorted energy trajectories in the air.
Besides Aruna and Keek, the rest of the battlefield was five against seven. The Star Glory Empire faction was bearing immense pressure.
Amidst the chaotic battlefield, Soul-Shaking Heaven was navigating at high speed through the crisscrossing artillery Fire.
Although he had appeared externally before, the advantage of being a Mechanical Lifeform was that simply modifying his appearance slightly meant no one could recognize him.
His powerful data processing and battlefield analysis modules operated at high power. His posture was agile, dodging the incoming and outgoing Energy Beams. For those he truly couldn't dodge, he blocked them in advance with a Shield.
His target was a certain A-Tier Lifeform from the Savior Ark. His Strength was quite strong, suppressing both Jorge and Gongora.
"Another one?"
The enemy noticed the rapidly approaching Soul-Shaking Heaven and immediately turned to meet him, White Energy converging in his eyes.
The next moment, a thick, concentrated Light Beam sprayed out!
Behind Soul-Shaking Heaven, a massive shadow descended. Countless mechanical components combined, propping up a massive barrier, forcefully blocking the bombardment of the Light Beam.
Bang!
The light expanded, triggering a booming explosion. He himself only suffered a bit of outer Armor damage.
The Thrusters behind Soul-Shaking Heaven were pushed to peak power. His massive body catapulted forward, leaping up at once, and smashed right in front of the target!
Rumble!!
Like the earth shaking and the mountains swaying!
The two became entangled in combat. Gongora and Jorge abruptly breathed a sigh of relief. Although they didn't know who the other party was, since he was here to help them, he must be a teammate.
The two of them didn't hesitate either, directly throwing themselves into other battlefields. With the help of Soul-Shaking Heaven, the pressure on the Star Glory Empire faction was greatly reduced, and this area of the battlefield also quickly stabilized.
Keek keenly discovered the anomaly in this area of the battlefield, and a bad premonition immediately surged in his heart.
These two guys who suddenly popped out restored balance to the tilted scales, plunging the scene into a stalemate once again.
But such a stalemated scene was very disadvantageous for them. Regardless of whether Donovan blocked the attacks of the Return Star and Meditation Fleets or not.
The ones who would ultimately suffer concentrated fire would definitely be them. Who told them to hold the Heart of the Titan in their hands.
"We can't drag this on any longer!?" Keek hardened his heart. His massive body once again underwent a bizarre change. Two fleshy bumps bulged out on both sides of his shoulders and rapidly expanded.
When the fleshy bumps expanded to a certain point, they burst with a bang, blood and plasma splattering. Two tender heads rapidly grew, and Keek's body also grew by several points again.
"A three-headed dragon?" Li Yu's expression was strange. Red Lotus State fighting a three-headed dragon... is it Destiny?
"Gene Alienation!?" Aruna's expression changed drastically. This was a change resulting from the deep combination of two Gene Chains, possessing even more formidable comprehensive Strength.
"Roar!"
The three heads roared towards the sky. Purple-black Light Beams shot straight into the sky, erupting with a terrifying Aura.
"Not good, he's going all out!" Aruna's pupils shrank.
The next moment, Keek charged over at an even faster speed, whipping up a massive sand and dust storm behind him, causing the world to change color!
Aruna turned his head and ran without any hesitation. Against Keek in that previous state, he could still barely fight a bit. But against this current state, there was absolutely no way to fight!
"Brother, run!" Even so, Aruna didn't forget to remind Li Yu.
But he didn't know if that guy was scared silly or what, just standing blankly on the spot without moving at all.
If it were before, Aruna would definitely have gone to save the other party. But the current Keek was too strong, so strong that he didn't want to confront him at all!
"Forget it, his adaptability on the spot is too poor. Recruiting him would just be for show, if he dies, he dies." Aruna shook his head, finding an Excuse for himself so he could feel at ease.
Rumble!
Li Yu was directly wrapped up by Keek's massive body and smashed into the earth. This time, no one came to save him.
Looking down from above the planet, a massive gully stretched across half the planet, as if making this planet open its mouth wide.
Dust flew everywhere, and some rocks even seemed unaffected by Gravity, floating in the opposite direction.
This meant that the gravitational structure of this planet had already been affected. Next, even if it didn't encounter any external force, this planet would gradually Collapse.
All the warships engaged in combat in the Starry Sky detected this almost off-the-charts Energy Level Reaction erupting from Keek.
Donovan, Keya, and Brooks all looked with solemn expressions at that planet on the verge of Collapse. The Aura erupting from it made everyone feel a threat.
Keek didn't care about this ant he had trampled to death. His massive body continued to chase after Aruna. In the massive gully, Li Yu's body was compressed until it was almost deformed.
The terrifying power brought by Keek made it difficult for him to endure, but this was precisely what he needed.
Faint red airflow lingered. Golden Electric Arcs shot out between his Cells, accompanied by the activation of 【Near-Death Rebirth】.
His originally deformed Physical body rapidly recovered, while simultaneously a terrifying power rose in his body.
Maximizing the effect of the 【Golden Blood Talent】 through 【Near-Death Rebirth】, then erupting the Red Lotus State, combined with the various combat states of the 【Titan Colonization Armor】.
Just what kind of combat power Li Yu could erupt with in this state, even he himself didn't know!
