Chapter 375: Death Star Flash

Time dials back to ten minutes ago. In the Command Center of the Pathos Flagship, Li Yu was chatting cheerfully with the crowd from the Star Glory Empire.

"...I didn't expect Your Excellency Coulson to have even been to the Ancient Starpath, that is not a good place." A certain A-Tier Lifeform said somewhat surprisedly.

"...One should always walk more and see more." Li Yu said modestly. Most A-Tier Lifeforms were unwilling to explore places that were overly dangerous.

Especially A-Tier Lifeforms attached to large factions, they preferred to rely on distributed resources for their retirement.

Unless it was a lifeform extremely eager to become stronger, only then would they actively explore dangerous Galactic Forbidden Zones.

However, just as he was speaking, his face suddenly changed slightly, showing an apologetic expression to the crowd: "Sorry, I have some personal matters to handle."

"Go on... go on, if you need any help, just ask." The A-Tier Lifeform next to him waved his hand. Although this guy was Saster's friend.

But these days, everyone had established a good relationship with "Coulson".

Strange to say, looking at his smiling balding face, everyone felt doubly intimate.

Fortunately, he habitually Enlightened the Smart Terminal, so when the two started talking, he learned of this situation.

His expression was unpredictable. Saster's sudden betrayal made him feel things were not good, but fortunately, he had already learned this information now; it wasn't too late.

Saster's choice was understandable. If he chose to cooperate with the Salvation Ark as Li Yu said, his interests could be maximized.

However, Li Yu was completely spouting nonsense with him.

"I really underestimated you..." Li Yu's eyes flickered, another idea floating in his mind. Fortunately, he habitually Enlightened the Smart Terminal, so as not to be Helpless.

Moreover, due to Saster's骚操作 (showy/bizarre operation), things seemed to have become even simpler.

.........

In the Command Center, the crowd was still chatting idly.

"I don't know how long we have to stay here..." Someone boredly opened the Smart Terminal, preparing to watch some videos to kill time.

Accompanied by ear-piercing music, several hot girls of non-humanoid races were dancing passionately. But not long after, the projected image suddenly became blurry.

"Eh?" He let out a surprised and uncertain sound: "Which Bastard hacked my Smart Terminal?"

His exclamation attracted the attention of a few people, and someone teased: "Could it be you browsed the Black Hole Network too much and got planted with a virus?"

"No... this seems to be Saster? Who is he talking to?" Another person pointed at the screen, puzzled.

"Saster?"

More people had their attention attracted. They gathered around, watching the two people conversing on the Holographic Screen.

Saster angrily: "...The Star Glory Empire only wants to give me an awful mess!"

"Help me eliminate the Purple Crystal Imperial Family, and Li Yu and the Heart of the Titan can both be given to you..."

"..."

As the two conversed, the faces of everyone present gradually began to change.

"Saster wants to cooperate with the Salvation Ark!?"

"Amethyst is just a bunch of Ungrateful Wretches that can never be fed enough."

"The name Li Yu is so familiar..."

"That's the guy the Loren Family specifically asked for, he's even on the Empire's Wanted Order."

"The Heart of the Titan is an item the Empire must obtain, and Saster actually dares to take the liberty to give it to the Salvation Ark?"

The crowd's voices were noisy, angrily rebuking Saster.

"Which battleship are they on?" The A-Tier Lifeforms gathered nearby made way. The big shot who had been staying in the corner walked over.

Capone's voice was deep, making it impossible to discern joy or anger, but no one dared to ignore him.

Ulul directly walked up to the communications soldier, hoisted him up, and roared: "Which battleship is Saster on!?"

The communications soldier's face was pale, hurriedly saying: "On... On... the V-67 Assault Cruiser!"

Capone opened his Smart Terminal and commanded in a certain channel: "Target V-67, open the Super Gravity Lockdown Trap, Magnetic Ion Chains, Inert Zone Generator..."

He listed at least dozens of lockdown traps, "...activate the Space Confinement Instrument, do not let anyone escape that battleship."

He commanded the fleet sent by the Empire for support, completely under his command.

Then, he raised his head, looked at the many shivering soldiers in the Command Center, his voice bone-chilling: "Start the Star-Destroying Cannon, begin charging!"

The many soldiers at the operating console Looked at Each Other in Dismay. Someone tremblingly reported: "The Star-Destroying Cannon can only fire after passing His Highness the Prince's genetic trait verification."

"I know, that's why I only told you to charge it." Capone said in a deep voice.

If anyone in the battleship could control the Star-Destroying Cannon, wouldn't it directly be a mess.

The massive metal outer shell on the Pathos Flagship split open, extending a black cannon barrel nearly a thousand meters in diameter, pitch-black energy surging into it.

…………

"So many lockdown traps?"

Morgan's face changed drastically. All matter in the surroundings had a tendency to condense into a ball. He took a difficult step, every Cell in his body squeezed by terrifying Gravity.

The coverage area of this kind of trap wasn't large; it was specially used against High-Level Lifeforms.

Electromagnetic ions combined into chains, wrapping around his body. The elemental particles around him were affected by inexplicable fluctuations, their wandering speed becoming extremely slow.

Immediately, he took out a Crystal Ring, looking at the flashing red warning light on it, which meant it couldn't be used.

"The Spatial Coefficient is also locked down, you ambushed me!" He abruptly looked at Saster on the other side.

Didn't Marta say there was no risk? What is going on? Could it be caused by a certain action of mine?

However, Saster was even more dumbfounded than him right now. All the electronic devices on his body cracked under the terrifying Gravity. He couldn't even contact the outside, completely unaware of what had happened.

At this moment, feeling the terrifying sense of threat coming from Morgan, he hurriedly explained: "It has nothing to do with me, I have no need to risk my life to ambush you."

Morgan stared at him. The two were very close. He wouldn't need much effort to kill Saster. If he was ambushing him, the other party wouldn't put himself in danger.

Bang!

Accompanied by continuously strengthening ultra-high Gravity, as well as various lockdown traps, the Spaceship Morgan was riding was already overwhelmed and completely cracked open.

"Must leave here quickly!" He gritted his teeth. His body flashed with red light, his speed abruptly increasing, tearing apart layers of restraints around his body, forcefully breaking open the battleship's soon-to-rupture metal shell.

However, just after rushing out of the battleship, a fatal threat rushed towards his face. He looked up at the already fully charged Pathos Flagship, his heart suddenly turning cold.

Capone flew out from the Main Ship. Morgan instantly noticed this lifeform of the same level as him.

"Third-Stage Evolutionist, shouldn't be a stranger, which friend from the Salvation Ark?" Capone stared at him, speaking in the broadcast channel.

Morgan was currently using a disguised appearance, making it hard to recognize.

"I advise you best not to make another move. The Star-Destroying Cannon has finished charging. Under the pressure of dozens of lockdown traps, you cannot run out of the attack's coverage area." Capone's expression was indifferent.

Morgan's face was ugly. Forced by the pressure, he could only temporarily stay in place.

He didn't know that without Saster, the Star-Destroying Cannon couldn't fire at all.

This was also the reason why Capone insisted on charging it. The other party didn't know the Star-Destroying Cannon couldn't attack, and it was enough for intimidation.

"Go bring out that Idiot Saster!"

Capone instructed the other A-Tier Lifeforms. The crowd hesitated a bit, having no choice but to carefully approach that battleship from another direction.

After going through untold hardships, they pulled Saster out from the center of Gravity. His condition was not good, his eyes carrying anger and bewilderment.

Morgan hesitated several times on whether to make a move, but hindered by the threat to his life, finally decided not to.

"This..." Saster looked at the huge formation around him and finally understood that his meeting with Morgan had been leaked.

"Idiot!" Capone scolded: "You've been schemed against!"

Obviously, someone deliberately let them know Saster was meeting with Morgan.

Saster's face was gloomy, then he suddenly raised his head, looked around, eyes wide open, and said: "Where's Coulson!?"

"Coulson?" Ulul scratched his head: "Don't know, he just said he went to handle personal matters. Could it be Coulson schemed against you? He looks like a good person..."

Saster was speechless for a while, gritting his teeth: "Good person my ass, he is The Reformers..."

Wait... halfway through his sentence, Saster suddenly froze. He suddenly remembered that Morgan had always thought the person cooperating with him earlier was Li Yu.

Looking at the current situation again, it must be Coul... what bullshit Coulson, that guy must be Li Yu!

Only Li Yu would scheme against him and Morgan; The Reformers were just a front!

Under these circumstances, Saster finally reacted.

While Ulul said angrily: "Idiot Saster, your betrayal of the Empire is already an ironclad fact, and you're still so arrogant!?"

"Coulson is Li Yu!" Saster shouted in a deep voice: "Quickly send someone to find him!"

"What!?" The crowd all looked at Saster in extreme astonishment. Coulson is Li Yu?

That balding middle-aged man who chatted cheerfully with them for so long is Li Yu? That Empire wanted criminal?

Impossible!

This was the first thought that surfaced in the minds of many A-Tier Lifeforms, showing that the friendship Li Yu established during this period was definitely strong.

Capone's pupils shrank, similarly somewhat in disbelief, then he shouted: "Go find that guy, quick!"

Morgan watched the chaotic scene before him. He removed his disguise, looked at Capone and said: "I am from the Salvation Ark. You can contact someone to ransom me."

The situation Deteriorated rapidly. Morgan knew he already had no ability to resist, and even less expected to inexplicably end up in the current situation.

He suddenly thought, could it be that all this was within Li Yu's calculations?

"So it's Blood Sea..." Capone realized. He knew the other party, a high-ranking field agent of the Salvation Ark, whose reputation was not small.

He didn't expect that today he would actually fall into his hands. If word got out, his reputation would probably improve a lot.

Thinking of this, Capone's mood became much more comfortable, preparing to send someone to detain him.

He didn't have the thought of killing the other party, as that would completely offend the Salvation Ark. The Empire wasn't afraid of the Ark, but he didn't want to Provoke Trouble.

Handing him over to the Empire according to regular procedures, letting the other party ransom him and gaining some benefits would be enough.

However, right at this moment, Morgan's body suddenly exploded with a bang, turning into a large amount of blood water, rapidly spreading in the Starry Sky. This substance ignored most lockdown traps, swiftly surging toward the edge of the traps.

Surrender without a fight?

The word "surrender without a fight" didn't exist in his dictionary!

Capone's face instantly changed. Black substance extended from his hands, turning into two giant black hands, pressing down toward the Blood Sea that Morgan had turned into, simultaneously shouting!

"Stop him!"

Many A-Tier Lifeforms made their moves one after another, but Morgan was entirely unafraid. The Blood Sea boiled, and a large number of blood hands reached out, knocking away many A-Tier Lifeforms.

The giant black hands crushed the blood hands, fiercely plunging into the Blood Sea, but due to the special nature of liquid matter, large holes were punched in the Blood Sea, yet it couldn't cause effective lethal damage to Morgan.

The Blood Sea even spread toward the edge of the lockdown traps. Once out of the lockdown traps, he could leave quickly!

"The Star-Destroying Cannon really is just for show..." The hidden Li Yu couldn't help shaking his head. He had guessed earlier that the Star-Destroying Cannon of the Pathos Flagship could probably only be controlled by Saster himself.

"Can't let this guy escape..." Li Yu's eyes flickered. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; he must deal a lethal blow.

Capone had no other way, he could only rely on himself!

The Card in his hand flickered, and a giant Interstellar Fortress vaguely emerged—[Death Star Flash]

He didn't hesitate and crushed the Card!

In an instant, an invisible pressure instantly spread. All battleships detected a continuously increasing Gravity coefficient!

"What... what is that!?"

Ulul looked up blankly at the sky. He saw the shadow of an incomparably massive Interstellar Fortress emerge.

The surface looked dark gray, with a diameter exceeding one hundred kilometers. The surface was covered with dense Laser Turrets. In the center of the concave disk-like structure, a huge recess flickered with a faint light, and the metal blast doors had already opened.

It seemed to be squeezed in the spatial gap, like a projection, but the Gravity coefficient of the surroundings was tangibly affected.

Capone was extremely astonished. What the hell is this thing?

Where did this Interstellar Fortress come from?

Saster and the others were equally shocked. This Interstellar Fortress appeared too suddenly, without any warning, and no one knew what it was going to do.

A huge human face emerged in the center of the Blood Sea; it was precisely Morgan. Staring at that Interstellar Fortress, he suddenly had a bad premonition!

Without waiting for him to think for too long, the premonition came true!

A dazzling Light Beam shot out from the recess of the Interstellar Fortress, the brilliant light making everyone subconsciously close their eyes!

Not good!

Capone's body gave a frantic warning. Under the threat to his life, he instantly darted in the opposite direction, bursting out with unprecedented speed!

The Death Star's Super Laser Absorb-ed power from the Ultra-Material Reaction Chamber. Its multi-faceted Kyber amplification crystals combined the destructive power of the individual branch laser beams into an incomparably brilliant energy beam.

The Energy Level detection devices of all battleships were alarming, the index soaring. Everyone had dull expressions.

This... where exactly did this Interstellar Fortress come from!?

From shooting out to covering the Blood Sea, the Light Beam only took an instant. At the moment it hit the target, terrifying high temperatures twisted the air, and rings of Shockwaves burst forth.

The surrounding battleships were all affected, shaking unceasingly in the Starry Sky. Thrusters died out, energy became chaotic, Systems failed, continuously issuing alarms!

And this was just the beginning!
