Chapter 357: Metamorphosis Ends, Completely Splintered Amethyst

The Overlord's Soul Tissue losing contact made many thoughts flash through the Navigator's mind. However, after the brief astonishment, he quickly calmed down and said methodically:

"It seems we need to continue raising his priority level. Have Morgan come back."

That navigator looked somewhat astounded: "Having Lord Morgan come back, wouldn't that be placing too much importance on him?"

The Navigator shook his head: "I just want to settle this matter as quickly as possible. The nutrients that can be absorbed from Titan Technology are limited. The Dimensional Camp has brought a new direction. That kind of technology... is too astonishing..."

This navigator naturally understood as well, subsequently nodding and hurrying away.

After he left, the Navigator looked down and swiped the virtual screen. The information regarding Li Yu began to surface.

............

In Elise's Spaceship, the crowd had already sailed in the Ancient Starpath for over seventeen days before they barely approached the Tambur Hub.

"Hehe..." Anthony closed his Smart Terminal and couldn't help but sneer: "These idiots actually still want to lure me back."

Anthony nodded: "Not returning to the Lant Hub was indeed the right choice. That Four-Armed Titan with well-developed limbs but a simple mind has probably already surrounded the entire Lant Hub."

"Since you knew, why did you still agree to Boli that you were willing to go back?" Carol asked doubtfully.

"Of course it's to give him hope of surviving..." Anthony's voice was hoarse: "Right now, Boli should be extremely excited, and then as time passes, the hope in his heart will slowly be worn away."

"When that Four-Armed Titan realizes something is wrong and ruthlessly strikes to kill, Boli's heart will definitely be far more desperate than it is now."

"Dying while wailing my name in the abyss of despair, this is his retribution for spitting in my face 456 days ago."

As soon as these words came out, the temperature in the Spaceship seemed to drop significantly. The throats of the nearby Jedi Squad members couldn't help but bob.

They had killed many people during their missions, but comparing that to Anthony's methods of mentally torturing people now, they seemed somewhat lacking.

And also... why do you remember the time so clearly? This guy holds grudges too much; we have to be careful in the future and not offend him.

Carol cast a Speechless glance at him and muttered: "Truly a Poisonous Viper."

Even though Olena had experienced many life-and-death battles, her heart couldn't help but tighten. This old snake was indeed too venomous.

Stanley frowned and glanced at him, seeming to want to say something, but their Statuses were currently equal, so he didn't have the qualifications to reprimand Anthony.

"Don't worry, everyone, we are all on the same side. I definitely won't hold grudges against you guys." Anthony greeted with a chuckle, and the other Jedi Squad members also forced themselves to agree.

Before, they didn't want to pay attention to this old snake, but now no one dared not to.

For fear that one day this old snake would look down on them from above and say, "XXX days ago, I talked to you, and you ignored me."

Stanley shook his head. He had already seen through Anthony's intentions, which was nothing more than establishing dominance. He immediately interrupted:

"It's already been 17 days, and My Lord still shows no signs of waking up. My suggestion is not to approach the Tambur Hub just yet."

Li Yu's instructions were for them to leave the Ancient Starpath. Now the Tambur Hub was close at hand, but given Li Yu's current state, rashly heading to the Tambur Hub would instead carry certain risks.

"It's a conservative proposal." Anthony shrugged: "But I support it."

The Jedi Captain and the Sith Captain reached an agreement simultaneously, so this matter was temporarily settled.

Another three days passed. About twenty days had gone by since Li Yu turned into the giant black cocoon, and no one knew exactly what was happening inside the giant black cocoon.

On this day, Olena patrolled as usual. She walked to the side of the giant black cocoon, carefully checking if there were any differences compared to the inspection at the same time yesterday.

However, right at this moment, an incredibly clear shattering sound rang out. Olena's pupils shrank as she stared at several cracks abruptly surfacing on the giant black cocoon.

Faint white light leaked through the cracks, and the entire giant cocoon vibrated slightly.

"Captain!" Olena called out subconsciously. Stanley and Anthony appeared there almost simultaneously.

"Is My Lord about to come out?" Stanley's expression was solemn.

Anthony nodded: "It should be. Look at these cracks..."

As soon as his voice fell, those fine cracks rapidly spread until they covered the entire giant black cocoon.

Then, a majestic ring-shaped Energy burst forth, sending everyone flying backward. Cracks surfaced on the Spaceship's metal walls and rapidly expanded.

Anthony's Snake pupils flickered, and he immediately shouted: "Prepare to withstand the explosion Impact!"

Boom!

The next moment, this Spaceship finally couldn't bear the heavy load and turned into cosmic ashes amidst brilliant fireworks.

Several figures flew out from the flames. The crowd had all undergone Force Modification, so this bit of explosion couldn't harm them.

The only one who hadn't undergone Force Modification, Carol, was also a B-Class Lifeform, so naturally, he would be fine.

"My Lord!"

Stanley was about to rush into the smoke and dust immediately, but Anthony grabbed him and spoke through the internal channel:

"Don't go near. This bit of explosion is Powerless Against us, so naturally, it's Powerless Against My Lord as well."

"If there are still aftershocks, we will be the ones getting injured, which will harm My Lord's interests!"

"He's right. You guys just wait here." Soul-Shaking Heaven spoke casually. As Li Yu's Subordinate Deity, he could naturally feel the Chief God's Aura gradually strengthening.

Stanley was also letting his concern mess up his judgment. Hearing Anthony's explanation, he instantly calmed down and began to calmly deploy and clean up the Spaceship wreckage.

At the same time, he ordered his Subordinates to broadcast in this area to see if they could trick one or two Spaceships into coming over.

In the smoke and dust, the giant black cocoon was like delicate porcelain, covered in cracks.

What was bizarre was that the giant cocoon didn't split open; instead, it condensed inwards. The light radiating from the cocoon became increasingly brilliant.

A blurry humanoid shape gradually surfaced; it was precisely Li Yu.

Li Yu gradually woke up. He only remembered that the mass of substance of unknown origin gradually merged into his Cells and Genes, and then he lost consciousness.

His Mental Ocean disappeared, but his Divinity Core still existed, and he could also feel The Force and use the Allspark Runes.

This indicated that his Mental Power hadn't actually disappeared, but had merged into his Physical body on a deeper level.

"Is this the deep-level fusion Reinhardt mentioned?" Li Yu clenched his fists. He felt that he was in a special state.

It was as if he could mobilize the power of his entire body. The originally ethereal Mental Power could only rely on The Force and Superpowers to affect reality.

But now it seemed to be more than just that. The specific manifestation was that his Combat Power Level had nearly doubled, though part of the reason was also the increase in his Gene Chain Development Progress.

If the enemy estimated his combat power based on his previous Energy Level again, it would probably make their jaws drop once more.

The 【Titan Colonization Armor】 rapidly covered him. Glancing at the gene testing device, his Gene Chain Development Progress had astonishingly leapt to the terrifying realm of 83%.

It had been elevated by a full 30%. However, Li Yu knew that the increase in the Gene Chain Development Progress was just an insignificant small harvest of this Metamorphosis.

"So this is a success?" Li Yu frowned tightly, feeling carefully, and then shook his head: "Still a little bit off..."

He didn't have any frame of reference; the so-called "still a little bit off" was the feedback his body gave him.

It was like a disabled person clearly knowing where they were lacking.

Li Yu guessed he had only completed the preliminary Unity of Soul and Flesh, not reaching the Titans' level.

But this also made him very curious. Why could he achieve Unity of Soul and Flesh?

That mass of Misty Substance from the Savior Ark had a wondrous reaction with the Heart of the Titan, but Li Yu didn't believe that reaction would only occur in front of him.

A scientific research institution of that level definitely knew about this reaction long ago. But if they could succeed just by finding a random lifeform and shoving that thing into them, then "Unity of Soul and Flesh" wouldn't just be Reinhardt's hypothesis.

"In other words, the problem still lies with myself?"

Li Yu guessed inwardly. The biggest reason he was able to achieve "Unity of Soul and Flesh" was still this body of his.

"It seems the secrets of my Former Self are not small..." He pondered in his heart.

There were temporarily no clues in this regard, so Li Yu could only put it aside for now. Although he had completed the Metamorphosis, a small problem came along with it.

Originally, he was pondering that if the pressure was too great, giving the Heart of the Titan to Titus in exchange for sufficient benefits wouldn't be bad either.

After all, Unity of Soul and Flesh was merely Reinhardt's theory, and the gap between theory and practice was simply too wide.

However, through A Twist of Fate, he completed this Metamorphosis, and naturally, the Heart of the Titan was gone too.

Regardless of whether Titus's attitude was good or bad, tough or tactful, he had no way of handing over the Heart of the Titan.

"I have no choice either..." He muttered in a low voice.

It was just like his feud with the Savior Ark. The other party only wanted to contact the Dimensional Camp through him, and didn't say they absolutely had to kill him or anything like that.

However, those conceptual items were all produced by the System, and the Dimensional Camp was entirely made up. He couldn't just tell them about the System.

So through various Twists of Fate, the grudge between the two grew larger and larger.

This was also due to his gradually expanding influence and the effects brought by various peculiar items, which he couldn't help either.

"My Lord, are you alright..."

The smoke and dust gradually cleared, and Stanley and the others rushed over.

"I'm fine..." Li Yu shook his head, looking around at the Spaceship fragments, and then took out the Millennium Falcon, having everyone board the ship.

Fortunately, their location wasn't far from the Tambur Hub, and having completed the preliminary Unity of Soul and Flesh resulted in a massive surge in Li Yu's Force, barely sustaining the Millennium Falcon to arrive at the Tambur Hub.

The crowd once again broke up into small groups, cautiously concealed their figures, blended into this massive Tambur Hub, and checked into several Hotels.

This hub was far more prosperous than the Lant Hub, even containing branches of various major commercial organizations.

The person behind it was a powerful big shot with real authority in the Amethyst Civilization. However, due to the increasingly turbulent situation of the Amethyst Civilization recently, this place wasn't peaceful either.

The artificial air contained imperceptible irritability. The passers-by on the streets were dressed in various ways, simultaneously maintaining a certain distance, their eyes flickering with vigilance and greed.

It was said that the big shot behind the Tambur Hub had already clashed with Prince Saster, and their disadvantage was becoming increasingly obvious.

If he died, this Tambur Hub would probably descend into a complete riot.

During the 20 days Li Yu was asleep, the situation of the Amethyst Civilization underwent earth-shaking changes. Prince Saster flew his banner distinctly and ignited the schism war.

Due to the various shocks and turmoil in the early stages, Saster's actions instead didn't cause too much shock, only making many Amethyst Citizens silently grieve—it still came to this point.

The Star Glory Empire remained silent on this, helping neither side, and issued a public announcement stating they would not interfere in the internal affairs of other civilizations.

The first half was equivalent to nonsense; the most important part was the second half—simultaneously hoping other civilizations would not interfere either.

This was equivalent to a warning, telling other civilizations: my little brother is splintering, stay far away.

Regardless of whether the statement was useful or not, at least the attitude was very obvious.

And while Li Yu was asleep, there were quite a few missed calls.

The most numerous were from Kansa. This Prince was obviously very panicked, calling over 200 times, averaging 10 times a day.

Previously, he also contacted Li Yu frequently, but the frequency was nowhere near this level, and Li Yu didn't pay much attention to him while busy with various matters in the Ancient Starpath.

"Since they've already started fighting, it's time to step in and divide the cake. If I'm any later, there probably won't be anything left," Li Yu pondered.

His Gene Chain Development Progress was nearly at 100%, so modulating the Gene Chain should also be put on the agenda.

Peyton had explicitly told him that researching the genes of unknown organisms and modulating a Gene Chain suitable for fusion was a massive project. It was very difficult for him to complete on his own and required manpower and resources.

And Li Yu had also long decided to extensively plunder Talented persons and resources from the Amethyst Civilization.

Next was Hunter, who had called just over twenty times, about twice a day, likely to confirm his safety.

Klein contacted him five times, Alexei contacted him six times, and Titus contacted him twice—not many, showing a very aloof demeanor.

In total, there were quite a few others, and even several unknown communication connections that Li Yu hadn't saved, highly likely from Meditation or the Savior Ark.

This was enough to prove the profound impact of the last battle.

Li Yu thought for a moment and sent a message each to Hunter and Klein, roughly explaining that due to some special reason over the past 20 days, he was temporarily unable to communicate with the outside world.

It counted as reporting his safety.

Standing before the floor-to-ceiling window, the light of the artificial sun pulled a long shadow behind him.

Opening the System, he had been asleep for too long. Number Three could already be deployed, and Number Two also had quite a lot of information refreshed.

There was a chapter earlier where I mixed up Three and One; it has already been corrected, sorry about that...
