Chapter 354: Time Limit, Retreat

Donovan remained somewhat puzzled: "However, with your current Strength, this group of people isn't much of a threat either. Why go out of your way to lure us here?"

Mentioning this point, Li Yu was also somewhat confused. He looked at Keek on the Ground: "This is also what I find strange. In my expectations, they should be very strong..."

In fact, in the future Li Yu saw, this group of people even forced out his 【Apostle Mecha】, so their Strength was definitely very formidable.

But the current situation was completely opposite. Keek was almost beaten to death, yet he still hadn't shown an Explosive Potential.

Keek: "...?"

Of course I have trump cards, and of course my trump cards are very powerful.

If you return the Space Compression Device to me, I'll definitely let you know what fear is!

The scene once again fell into a bizarre atmosphere. The crowd was like old friends of many years, chatting casually with each other.

Unlike the initial On the Brink of War, the current atmosphere was more restrained, and more like the calm before the storm.

Accompanied by a clear shattering sound, the milky-white barrier enveloping Li Yu abruptly exploded. He vanished from his original spot, which seemed like a signal.

Brooks had also finished accumulating power. He abruptly raised the massive White Jade Statue in his hands and shouted loudly:

"God Domain!"

All the A-Tier Lifeforms present simultaneously sensed a massive amount of unknown energy being released from the White Jade Statue, rapidly enveloping the battlefield where everyone was located.

The next moment, everyone realized that the space in this area had become viscous, and their movements became sluggish.

Sensing it slightly, everyone discovered that this wasn't a simple sluggishness ability.

That special power descended and superimposed on this space, causing the spatial attributes of this area to be briefly altered, forming a bizarre domain.

The distance between each other seemed endless, and no matter what, they couldn't get close to one another.

Then, Li Yu's figure suddenly appeared not far from Brooks.

He frowned tightly, finding that it was like falling into a quagmire, making movement exceptionally difficult.

Brooks, holding the Mechanical Greatsword and moving freely, directly cleaved onto Li Yu. Sparks flew in all directions, sending him flying backward a long distance.

"He used Divine Power to rewrite this space?" Donovan frowned, his body also becoming sluggish.

Obviously, this was another application of Divine Power. Brooks looked as if he had victory in his grasp, a mocking smile hanging on the corners of his mouth.

Due to the fragility of the White Jade Statue, large-scale attacks like the one just now were very difficult to unleash again, but creating a space advantageous to him wasn't difficult.

There was only one person on the entire battlefield who could move freely, and that was Brooks, the one who cast the skill.

With a Flash Teleportation, Brooks appeared behind Li Yu elusively. A fist condensed with Strength Superpower smashed toward Li Yu's back, a playful smile at the corners of his mouth.

"Does this count as reaping what you sow? You wanted to drive a tiger to swallow a wolf, but did you ever consider whether you could fight that tiger?"

Bang!

He was sent flying again. In this bizarre space, Li Yu's speed was greatly weakened, and his Space Warp Ability was also rendered unusable.

Brooks felt invigorated, his grievances completely swept away once more. So what if he was temporarily played for a fool? The one who could hold on until the end was the winner.

Li Yu frowned tightly. This superimposed state of his couldn't be sustained for too long.

Moreover, 【Near-Death Rebirth】 had already been used today. If the tangled fight continued, the outcome would probably be very bad.

This kind of Divine Power... Li Yu's eyes flickered slightly.

Brooks looked composed. He had already taken control of the overall situation, and the rest of the time would be slowly grinding Li Yu to death.

Then he would obtain the Heart of the Titan, and the hidden danger of the Main Ship being breached was also erased by him. Everything was moving in a favorable direction.

Keya and Donovan's expressions were grim; the current situation was also very disadvantageous for them.

Although it seemed Brooks was targeting Li Yu, if Li Yu died, it would definitely be their turn next!

With another flash, Brooks appeared diagonally behind Li Yu and smashed toward his head, his momentum heavy and powerful!

However, this time, something that surprised Brooks happened. Li Yu, who was originally moving sluggishly, abruptly twisted his body. A Mechanical Arm extending from his back blocked the fist he threw.

How is that possible!?

Brooks completely didn't expect this scene and failed to react in time. Thor's Hammer surfaced in Li Yu's right hand. Since his Identity was already exposed, there was no need for him to continue hiding this weapon with highly distinct characteristics.

Clang!

Brooks only had time to raise the Mechanical Greatsword in his hand to block. The two collided, and ring-shaped Energy Ripples rapidly rippled out.

Borrowing this reverberating force, Brooks hastily retreated, staring at Li Yu in alarm and bewilderment.

How on earth did he break free from the influence of the God Domain?

After a careful examination, Brooks finally noticed that Li Yu's entire body was faintly flashing with Golden Runes.

That is... Brooks frowned tightly, feeling those Golden Runes were somewhat familiar.

Divine Power!?

He suddenly woke up. That was clearly Divine Power!

There were specialties in different fields. For a Divine Power like the God Domain, only an equivalent Divine Power could easily break it open.

Before he could even ponder where the other party obtained their Divine Power, he saw Li Yu heading toward the massive White Jade Statue in the distance. Evidently, he was going to destroy it.

"Wishful thinking!" Brooks shouted angrily. His entire body rapidly expanded. Without the restrictions of the Space Environment,

He expanded at an extremely fast speed into a bloated mass of flesh with a diameter exceeding a thousand meters. Muscles without skin covering intertwined, and blood vessels and veins were incredibly clear.

Massive arms composed of twisted flesh and blood extended from both sides of the mass of flesh. They were as huge as mountain ranges, smashing toward the tiny Li Yu.

The combination of mass and speed caused the edges of the arms to friction against the thin air, creating an arc-shaped fiery shield.

Rumble!

A massive shadow covered Li Yu, like the sky collapsing!

Li Yu frowned slightly. He could already feel the power within his body beginning to recede. The Red Lotus State was already difficult to maintain. He had to end the battle as quickly as possible and then leave here!

The 【Titan Colonization Armor】 operated at full capacity, Electric Arcs surging, and scarlet aura flames towering to the heavens. Li Yu, wielding Thor's Hammer, tore through the air, locked onto that massive flesh and blood arm, and charged up!

Buzz!!

Centered on the point of contact between Thor's Hammer and the giant flesh and blood palm, a horizontal Golden Lightning ring with a diameter of tens of meters popped out, expanding with a boom, and transforming into thick Golden Lightning with a caliber of tens of meters.

Surging toward the twisted, bloated mass of flesh!

On the bloated mass of flesh, a massive amount of flesh and blood rapidly proliferated, forming densely packed flesh and blood shields.

The next moment, the Thunder spread rapidly!

Bang!!

A hurricane that swept away everything abruptly rose, and the Thunder Shockwave rapidly diffused. Clouds were scattered, and the earth's crust was lifted!

Even in Outer Space, the Golden Lightning ripples produced by this Shockwave were visible to the naked eye.

A massive explosion energy mass expanded, blasting apart a large amount of flesh and blood shields, and the twisted flesh and blood melted on a large scale.

Li Yu, wielding Thor's Hammer, charged forward unabated, like a Thunder drill, plunging into Brooks's body, causing massive destruction!

Keek barely crawled up from the pit, looking at the battle in mid-air. He knew in his heart that he had been just that close to dying here.

"Li Yu!" His eyes turned cold, repeating this name in his mouth. Sooner or later, he would take back the humiliation he suffered today.

He decided that after returning, he would make the Headquarters prioritize Li Yu at all costs, deploying higher-level forces. He wouldn't give the other party any chance to defeat him.

"Woohoo, this Friend, where do you want to go?"

Silver-white nano streams suddenly surged from the Ground, rapidly forming into a Mechanical Lifeform.

The guard in Keek's heart rose to the highest level. He remembered this thing; it was the A-Tier Lifeform that entered the battlefield together with Li Yu.

If he were at his peak, this person couldn't pose any threat to him at all, but now he was severely injured and near death.

Let alone an A-Tier Lifeform, even a B-Class or C-Class coming over could take his life.

His Little Brothers had been separated and besieged earlier, and they weren't by his side now either.

Soul-Shaking Heaven spoke with a slightly mocking tone:

"Since you are Preoccupied With Lord Chief God, why leave so soon?"

"Chief God!?" Keek keenly caught this term: "He's also a Divine Spirit?"

He didn't expect Li Yu to actually be a Divine Spirit as well. Just how many secrets did this guy have.

"Uh oh..." Soul-Shaking Heaven covered his mouth in a mock-surprised manner: "I accidentally said too much. It looks like I'll have to kill you to hide the secret."

.........

Donovan and Keya could clearly see that golden lightning mass charging into the bloated mass of flesh at an extremely fast speed through the thousand-meter-long flesh and blood arm.

Brooks's miserable wails resounded throughout the entire planet. The entire mass of flesh and blood rapidly proliferated and then condensed, seemingly wanting to trap Li Yu to death inside his body.

But this was obviously impossible.

Dark clouds gathered thickly above Brooks's head. After multiple battles between A-Tier Lifeforms, the entire planet had already begun to disintegrate.

The Atmosphere had completely collapsed, and the air had dissipated into Outer Space, so dark clouds shouldn't have formed.

But at this moment, a large area of dark clouds happened to form. Golden Lightning tumbled and roared within them, as if drawn by some force, striking straight into the mass of flesh.

Rumble!

This was like a fuse. The originally condensed mass of flesh and blood, tens of meters in diameter, began to expand rapidly, soon exceeding its size before condensing.

A series of cracks split open within it, and dazzling Lightning Glow projected from the cracks. In an instant, a shockwave sufficient to震死 (shake to death) B-Class Lifeforms exploded轰然 (with a boom) on the surface of the collapsing planet.

The next moment, the Lightning Glow completely expanded, and a world-destroying explosion occurred deep within the mass of flesh and blood!

Boom!!

The mass of flesh and blood expanded, turning into a massive explosion light mass. All flesh and blood matter was entirely ejected outward, torn into pieces!

Last time Li Yu could only flee miserably, but this time the outcome was completely different.

"Lord Brooks!" Terra's expression drastically changed. He looked in disbelief at the scene before him. Lord Brooks blew up!?

Last time, wasn't Li Yu chased all over the place by Brooks?

Why is the result like this this time!?

It's only been a few days, how could that guy's Strength have become so strong to this extent?

Donovan and Keya's gazes were solemn as they watched two figures fall from the aftermath of the explosion—they were precisely Brooks and Li Yu.

"This Mechanical Greatsword is pretty good. I had my eye on it last time." Li Yu held the Mechanical Greatsword, stroking the cold metal blade.

This Mechanical Greatsword was far better than the previous Mechanical Great Axe, and it was quite handsome, perfectly matching Li Yu's Aesthetics.

"Actually, there are many things I want to know, but there should also be that special symbol in your Spiritual Body, so asking you is highly likely useless."

Li Yu shook his head, looking at Brooks on the ground.

Brooks lay on the ground, his Aura failing, and his Vital Signs nearing zero. He stared at Li Yu, wishing he could tear the other party to pieces, but he was powerless. His voice was hoarse:

"You think you control everything. One day, you'll suffer a backlash from this mindset!"

"Control everything?" Li Yu shook his head: "I've never had the mindset of controlling everything. For example, you gave me many surprises."

Right at this moment, the Aura on Li Yu's body also began to decline, and his body even swayed slightly.

"Hehe..." Brooks seemed to understand something, a miserable smile appearing at the corners of his mouth. "Life-risking methods... just a little bit more time..."

"Wrong again..." Li Yu shook his head, looking around and whispering: "Actually, I also have..."

Speaking up to here, he paused. He originally wanted to tell him about the 【Apostle Mecha】, but he still shook his head: "Forget it, I won't tell you."

Brooks's pupils shrank, seemingly wanting to say something more. Unfortunately, the next moment, the Mechanical Greatsword descended and plunged into his heart.

The Crystal core at the hilt of the Greatsword emitted light. Flame-like patterns filled the entire blade, eventually spreading into Brooks's body, destroying his final trace of Vital Signs.

Silver-white nano streams converged at his feet, and then merged into the 【Titan Colonization Armor】. Li Yu seemed to have received some report and nodded: "Good job."

He looked up at that massive White Jade Statue in mid-air. After hesitating slightly, he ultimately rose into the air and arrived beside the White Jade Statue.

Upon close contact, Li Yu could sense the divine power within it, but now wasn't the time to study it carefully.

He stored the White Jade Statue into his Space Compression Device, looked down, and just happened to see Keya and Donovan's factions converging.

Li Yu raised his hand, instantly causing everyone to become tense and put up their guard. They clearly knew just how powerful this ruthless man was.

As a result, Li Yu merely waved his hand. Subsequently, the Millennium Falcon surfaced once again. He entered the Spaceship and began to infuse The Force.

Only after he left did the crowd breathe a sigh of relief. The scene of him overwhelmingly crushing Brooks just now left a deep impression on them, and no one wanted to fight him.

Keya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as well. Fortunately, Li Yu wasn't crazy enough to kill them too...

It's just that the Heart of the Titan was obtained by Li Yu, but she still had to report to His Highness Titus, and wait for his...

Wait.

Keya seemed to have suddenly thought of something. Li Yu couldn't possibly not know that Lord Titus urgently needed the Heart of the Titan.

And the news of him possessing the Heart of the Titan had already been exposed, so he would inevitably face pressure from Lord Titus afterward.

The best solution would be to kill them all to silence them, making this matter unknown to anyone.

Although the workload would be relatively large—after all, there were still numerous warships in Outer Space—with the Strength Li Yu just displayed, it wouldn't be excessively difficult.

Yet he decisively left, preferring to suffer Titus's pressure rather than take action.

Keya just thought Li Yu had reservations about their Identity as Returning Star members, but upon careful thought, given Li Yu's behavioral style, he acted without scruples and couldn't possibly let them off easily just because they were Returning Star members.

Unless...

Li Yu no longer had the ability to fight again!

She looked at Donovan in the distance. Coincidentally, Donovan was also looking at her. They both read annoyance and regret in each other's eyes.

Terra vigilantly led his people away. Keya and Donovan didn't have the intention to pay attention to them either. The Heart of the Titan had already been taken away by Li Yu.

The core point of contention had disappeared, so there was no need for them to engage in meaningless battles anymore.

The Spaceship's tail flames tore through the silent Starry Sky. The battle here had come to a close, yet the impact it caused was just beginning to spread.
