Chapter 353: Identity Exposed! Crisis!

Although Brooks's ultimate move destroyed over five thousand warships, the remaining fleet of the Four-Armed Titan Fleet still numbered in the large thousands.

Fleets were the absolute main force of various civilizations. The destruction efficiency of a single A-rank naturally couldn't compare to a regular military fleet with a scale reaching tens of thousands.

But individual might and collective might were not the same concept. Individuals possessing great power played an irreplaceable special role on the battlefield.

Compared to an entire fleet, a single A-Tier Lifeform had strong combat power, small size, and high flexibility. They could not only engage the fleet head-on but also easily break through the fleet's defensive formations, cutting into the enemy lines like an Unstoppable Force to execute decapitation strikes and a series of other actions.

Utilizing the gap created by his ultimate move just now, Brooks led his people to descend upon the planet before the Four-Armed Titan Fleet could completely contract its defenses.

And now, even if the rest of the fleet contracted, the Meditation Fleet was sufficient to form a stalemate with the other party, leaving both sides unable to act.

The massive number of warships in the Starry Sky all became VIP spectator seats.

Brooks surveyed the battlefield, his gaze heavily lingering on that guy shrouded in scarlet airflow.

He didn't know exactly what happened on this planet, but it was never wrong to keep an eye on the strongest person.

No one from the five factions dared to act recklessly, wary of each other, while simultaneously all sharing one doubt: Just who... is this guy!?

And Li Yu clearly also noticed this. Almost everyone's gaze was sizing him up.

Donovan failing to stop Brooks greatly surprised him, resulting in the current situation being highly disadvantageous to him.

He had already obtained the Heart of the Titan. His only goal next was to leave here safely.

But under the watchful eyes of the public, it was impossible for him to leave easily.

Moreover, his current state couldn't be sustained indefinitely; he had to end the battle within a short time.

The Millennium Falcon had already been used once. The moment he took out the Millennium Falcon again, everyone would realize—he is Li Yu!

He would inevitably be besieged immediately. His successful escape last time was only because the others didn't know the capabilities of the Millennium Falcon.

They had already witnessed it last time. This time, it was impossible for them to watch him leave helplessly.

The Millennium Falcon wasn't invincible; it couldn't withstand the siege of everyone.

And the most crucial point was that the Heart of the Titan was in his hands. If this information was exposed, he would instantly become the target of everyone's attacks.

Therefore, this matter absolutely could not be leaked!

And the only ones who knew this matter were Keek and Aruna. The battlefields of the others were relatively far from them, so they didn't know what happened.

Although Aruna wasn't certain that the Heart of the Titan was in Keek's hands.

He saw Li Yu chop off Keek's head and snatch the other party's Space Compression Device. With a little deduction, he could guess it.

Keek was currently repairing his injuries. Both the chopped-off head and the head with the shattered lower jawbone were rapidly repairing.

Now they were mostly recovered.

Time slipped away in the stalemate.

"What exactly happened here?" Donovan asked in a low voice.

"I'm not clear on the specifics either... I..."

Just as he was speaking, Aruna's pupils shrank, and intense pain swept through his nerves. The already severe injuries on his body further expanded.

A massive amount of cracks abruptly surfaced, blood spraying out. Aruna immediately fell to his knees on the ground, seemingly unable to endure his bodily injuries.

He even looked more miserable than Donovan.

"Aruna!" Donovan was startled inwardly, not knowing what happened. He subconsciously looked around, thinking someone had launched a sneak attack.

The time limit is up... Li Yu understood in his heart. The duration of the Advanced Medical Hormone was up. The old and new injuries relapsing together directly plunged Aruna into a near-death state.

"Urgh... Urgh..." Aruna could feel his Life Energy draining away, his eyes gradually turning gray and defeated.

It was that tube of medical Potion!

Aruna finally woke up to reality. At the time, he had even praised the other party's medical Potion for being powerful, but now it had become his death warrant.

That wasn't any Healing Potion at all; it merely delayed the outbreak of his injuries. If he didn't receive timely treatment, the injuries would still erupt.

And not only did he not receive treatment just now, but he even suffered severe injuries again. The two superimposed almost directly took his life.

"Cryogenic Medical Pod!" Donovan said deeply. He couldn't watch Aruna die helplessly. Similarly, he couldn't let Aruna die in front of him.

Jorge immediately took out an azure-blue Medical Bay from his Space Compression Device and placed Aruna inside.

Cold air permeated, and the temperature rapidly dropped, bringing Aruna's Body Functions to a near standstill to preserve hope for future treatment.

The people from the other factions watched silently, still no one making a move.

They needed an opportunity, or rather, they needed an enemy.

One disposed of... Li Yu retracted his gaze. Aruna could no longer speak, so the only ones who knew the truth of the matter were Keek and him.

Keek was worried not only about the Heart of the Titan but also about other things in the Space Compression Device.

He wanted to retrieve the Space Compression Device. Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn't let outsiders know the items were on Li Yu, otherwise it would only needlessly increase the number of competitors.

Rumble!

A rumbling sound came from the Ground. Keya raised her brows slightly and looked down. She saw the ruins of the battle below collapse, and two people suddenly crawled out from within.

"It's Farley and Wade!" Soli recognized them at a glance!

Keya also recognized them. The Captain and Vice-Captain of the Hermit Squad, the escorts of the Heart of the Titan.

They definitely knew what happened here. Keya urgently needed an answer!

At the same time, almost everyone cast their gazes at these two people. Brooks also wanted to know what exactly was going on.

Keek cried out 'not good' inwardly; he had almost forgotten about these two people.

Farley and Wade were also very bewildered. They were lying perfectly fine Underground, and didn't know why they were suddenly brought to the surface by an invisible force.

But looking at the A-Tier Lifeforms filling the sky, Farley clearly knew that they didn't have much time left, so he immediately roared out the question everyone wanted to know.

"That three-headed monster is from the Savior Ark. The Heart of the Titan is on them," Farley's voice resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

The corners of Li Yu's mouth curled up slightly. As expected, this Seasoned veteran didn't disappoint him.

As direct participants in the event, Farley and Wade would inevitably be the focus of everyone's attention. If they didn't want to be besieged, they had to divert that attention.

Savior Ark!?

Keya, Brooks, and Donovan were all startled upon hearing this. This veteran Research Institute had also entered the fray?

Keek was extremely shocked and angry, while simultaneously carrying a trace of doubt. How did these two people know their origins?

The opportunity had arrived, and the enemy was established. The stalemated situation was instantly broken.

Keek knew that he absolutely could not be besieged now, so he prepared to state the fact that the item had already been snatched.

However, his vision blurred, and intense pain came from his left head.

Before Keek could react, that scarlet-armored person had charged in front of him at some unknown time and launched another attack. Obviously, he didn't want him to speak the truth.

A Ripple Effect. Brooks, Keya, and Donovan simultaneously attacked Keek and his group.

Everyone had only one goal, and that was the Heart of the Titan. Whoever possessed the Heart of the Titan was the enemy!

However, just as everyone was attacking Keek and his group with a Tacit Understanding, Brooks cast a bizarre glance at the back of the scarlet figure, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Li Yu completely didn't give Keek the chance to speak. Formidable power poured onto the other party. The purple-black Scale Armor cracked, and terrifying power frantically vibrated through his skeleton along his body. The intense pain made the anger in Keek's heart soar!

Simultaneously accompanied by terror. Under this kind of situation, it seemed he was really going to die here.

Before accepting the mission, he had never considered the possibility of death.

However, for some unknown reason, the meticulously designed Trap went off track from the very beginning. The people who should have come didn't, and the people who shouldn't have come arrived one after another.

The Star Glory Empire, Returning Star, Meditation... These people seemed to be guided by some unseen force, arriving here with a clear purpose.

He hadn't even met Li Yu face-to-face yet, and he was already on the verge of death.

Who exactly was that hateful guy! The Space Compression Device didn't just contain the Heart of the Titan; it also held his final trump card, the very thing he relied on to turn the tables!

But now, he could only watch helplessly as he was besieged!

Rumble!

Black Thunder exploded, striking into Keek's mind. Force Lightning erupted, and the Psychic Assault caused Keek's body to stiffen instantly.

Brooks attacked from diagonally behind, wielding the Mechanical Greatsword. The edge of the blade split into jagged sharp spikes, forcibly tearing apart Keek's wings.

Fresh blood spurted like rain!

Li Yu also witnessed Keya's attack methods for the first time. She was a powerful Esper. With an Alluring posture, clusters of blood-red rose flowers bloomed on Keek's body.

Extracting Keek's blood as nutrients, thick vines rapidly sprouted from the pistils, entirely entangling Keek and continuously contracting to restrict his movements.

Keek's Little Brothers were also besieged. Each person faced at least two opponents of the same level. They were exhausted from coping, their decline obvious.

Keek's Strength was extraordinary. As a Second-Stage Evolutionist undergoing Genetic Mutation, his Energy Level approached four hundred thousand Cal. But facing multiple enemies of the same level.

And even including Li Yu, a guy whose combat power far exceeded his, he found it completely impossible to resist.

The siege didn't last long. From beginning to end, it was less than ten minutes before Keek's massive body fell to the Earth.

Two and a half of his three heads had been severed. His entire body was covered in bewitching rose flowers, his Scale Armor shattered, and bones broken. He was incredibly miserable.

However, being a Second-Stage Evolutionist after all, his vitality was so formidable that he still wasn't completely dead yet.

Li Yu narrowed his eyes, about to deliver the final blow. However, a milky-white barrier enveloped him.

Brooks looked composed: "This Friend, he has already lost the ability to resist. It wouldn't hurt to ask clearly where exactly the Heart of the Titan is before killing him. It won't be too late."

Bang!

Li Yu ignored him, smashing a fist onto the barrier. He knocked several cracks into the barrier, but it didn't shatter.

This barrier was quite sturdy and even isolated space, making it difficult for Li Yu to perform a Space Warp.

Is it that White Jade Statue? Li Yu vaguely felt that the White Jade Statue in Brooks's hand was somewhat familiar. It seemed to be... a Divine Statue?

Just then, Keek finally found an opportunity. Enduring the pain, he roared loudly: "The Heart of the Titan isn't on me, it's already been snatched by him!"

As soon as these words came out, a massive amount of gazes concentrated on Li Yu.

Li Yu stared at Brooks and said in a deep voice: "You guys actually believe such a clumsy lie?"

Keya frowned tightly. The current situation was somewhat treacherous, and she found it difficult to reach a conclusion.

The key point was killing the armored person. The strongest ones present were this scarlet-armored person and Brooks.

And right now, there was a vague sense of discord between these two people. Keya naturally wouldn't intervene to stop it.

Donovan clutched his chest, his face pale. He was inclined to believe Keek's words, but he was heavily injured now, and his comprehensive Strength probably couldn't even compare to Keya's.

"Of course I believe him..." Brooks's mouth curled into a cold sneer: "Because you are Li Yu!"

"What!?"

This sentence was like a super-massive thunderstorm permeating everyone's hearts.

"He is Li Yu!?" Keya was astounded, looking at that scarlet figure with somewhat complicated emotions. A doubt surfaced in her mind: How could he be powerful to this extent!?

"As expected... it's him!"

Donovan wasn't too surprised; it merely verified his vague intuition from before.

Among everyone, the most horrified was none other than Keek lying on the ground.

You're fking Li Yu?

He never could have imagined that the mission target he viewed as entirely under his control was actually this guy in front of him, who was even more powerful than himself.

He originally thought the other party was just lucky and dodged the ambush. He didn't expect the other party had been here all along.

"That Grey Snake informant was your man!? It was you who lured us here!" Donovan questioned.

"I'm also very curious, why did you lure me here?" Brooks asked unhurriedly, acting as if he had victory in his grasp.

"How did you recognize me?" Li Yu remained silent for a moment, not making any meaningless denials.

"The Soul Aura cannot be changed." Brooks raised the White Jade Statue in his hand; divine spirits were experts at playing with souls.

"So that's how it is..." Li Yu suddenly realized. No matter how much his external appearance changed, the Soul Core always remained unchanged.

Brooks probably knew his Identity the moment he saw him, but had been pretending not to know all along.

Having him help besiege Keek, only revealing his true colors now.

Brooks subsequently added: "It's your turn to answer my question."

Li Yu was also very candid: "This group of people was ambushing me. Coming by myself, I would very likely encounter danger, so I could only have you guys come and stir things up."

"You knew we were ambushing you?" Keek finally couldn't help but speak. His massive body had reverted to a normal humanoid form, still looking miserable.

He had thought the other party was entirely under his control, but it turned out he was the one being Have Someone in the Palm of One's Hand.

However, Li Yu ignored him.

"Just because of this reason!?" Keya suffered a Mental Breakdown. Then you should have notified Returning Star!

Returning Star could deploy reinforcements. Why drag the Star Glory Empire and Meditation into it?

"I still want the Heart of the Titan." Li Yu glanced at Keya.

Keya instantly fell silent. If reinforcements were deployed, they would definitely be Titus's people. In that case, the Heart of the Titan definitely wouldn't fall into Li Yu's hands.

Thanks to 'Changing a name is so hard' for the 5000 reward.
