Chapter 378: Catching Li Yu Expert - Donovan

And Li Yu was still one final step away from completion. He took out the Gene Optimization Device from the space compressor again, let Soul-Shaking Heaven guard the surroundings, and lay inside it himself.

As the small golden ball at the end of the device operated, a massive amount of golden particles surged into his body, passing through the skin, muscles... acting on the deeper Genetic Level.

A familiar yet strange feeling rose up.

Although accompanied by severe pain, having just experienced several Metamorphoses, the pain brought by each Metamorphosis was more intense than gene optimization.

He had already used the Gene Optimization Device once. This time it was primarily aimed at the Superman Gene Chain, and the time lasted for about two hours.

As the cabin door of the Gene Optimization Device opened, Li Yu sat up from within, re-examining this Corporeal Form of his.

To be honest, he didn't feel any obvious changes.

This couldn't be said that the Gene Optimization Device didn't work, but rather that he had experienced multiple Metamorphoses in a short time, rendering him unable to feel it more meticulously.

However, he had another method to verify. Li Yu took out a green crystal fragment from his System Space—

That's right, this was precisely kryptonite, a reward obtained from the DC world by his Avatar.

Tightly gripping this [Kryptonite Fragment], he vaguely felt a sense of repulsion from his body, but didn't feel too much weakness.

This was enough to prove that the Gene Optimization Device could also work on genes from other worlds.

It was only now that the super grand Metamorphosis Li Yu had been waiting for so long was completely finished. He was in a pleasant mood.

The Force surged around him. Benefiting from the influence of "Unity of Soul and Flesh", his Mental Power also underwent a Metamorphosis, reaching the level-six standard classified by Titans.

In the Radiant Council over there, that would be a bona fide intermediate Subordinate Deity. He could already make a name for himself and be considered a core Strength.

He was also an oddity, not relying on the Power of Faith to enhance Mental Power. If those Divine Spirits knew, their eyes would definitely turn red with envy.

Opening the [System Log], he browsed it joyfully...

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

In the Main Ship of a certain fleet, Capone was standing in front of a huge Holographic Screen, staring at the dense red dots on it.

Saster sat in the corner, his Mental State looking unusually decadent, as if half his spirit had been beaten out of him.

"Lord, the enemy forces have retreated..." A communications soldier reported loudly. On the Holographic Screen, those dense red dots also gradually faded.

"Phew..." Capone let out a long sigh of relief, blocked it once again...

"A bunch of trash, not honestly accepting their fate, actually still thinking of resisting." Saster cursed angrily.

Originally a huge advantage, destroyed in one fell swoop because of a baffling transaction and an Interstellar Fortress that popped out from nowhere.

He thought of that name again—Li Yu. That guy actually appeared openly and legitimately in front of him, even disguising himself as "Coulson".

And he was so stupidly believing his nonsense.

If it wasn't for that person, he wouldn't have thought of cooperating with the Salvation Ark.

"They are trash, and what are you?" Capone glanced at him, his eyes full of disgust: "If it wasn't for your own inflated ambition, how could there be the situation today?"

Saster was still useful. At least he nominally belonged to the Purple Crystal Imperial Family. With him initiating the schism war, Citizens would only feel surprised, not understanding how things developed to a split situation.

If it were someone else, there was a high probability it would arouse the common hatred of the entire Amethyst.

So no matter how much Capone was disgusted, Saster couldn't die before finding a suitable replacement.

"Is the Empire ignoring us? Why haven't they sent troops to support yet?" Saster acted as if he didn't hear Capone's mockery, continuing to press.

Capone took a deep breath. Actually, he and Saster were considered half-bound together right now.

He was responsible for taking overall charge of Amethyst's war issues, with the ultimate goal of having Saster replace the original Purple Crystal Imperial Family and become a new puppet.

But now it had a trend of being botched. The Purple Crystal Imperial Family's advantage grew; if they were allowed to turn around and defeat Saster...

Then it would be troublesome.

"Support is already on the way, it will arrive soon." Capone didn't look at him, instead continuing to analyze the Star Map.

Previously, the battles with the Purple Crystal Imperial Family basically didn't require much strategy, but now he could only make up for the gap in Strength through commanding.

"As long as they send someone, as long as they send someone..." Saster kept repeating this sentence, his Mental State not being too good.

"Who is coming to support us?" An A-Tier Lifeform asked curiously.

He was of a humanoid species, male, with yellow hair tied into a braid of alien exoticism.

Pointy ears, nose being a pair of small holes in the center of his face. His appearance wasn't bad, just a bit old.

A tall body, growing a pair of broad wings covered in yellow feathers on his back, possessing a certain amount of avian creature genes.

"People from the Four-Armed Titan Legion." Capone replied.

"Four-Armed Titan Legion?" Someone was surprised: "Didn't they fully withdraw after their mission on the Ancient Starpath failed last time?"

"Why are they still being sent here?"

Capone shook his head: "I'm not too clear on the specifics, but it's said that their main enemy last time was also Li Yu, perhaps for this reason."

"Calculating the time, they should be arriving soon."

"This Li Yu, is really constantly stirring up trouble." Someone added with great interest.

Everyone had a very good relationship with "Coulson". It was hard to imagine that the Amiable Fellow who looked very kind would actually be an Empire wanted criminal.

Right at this moment, a subordinate reported: "Lord Capone, the Four-Armed Titan Legion has arrived and is applying for contact."

.........

Donovan stood in front of the porthole, looking seemingly somewhat excited, clenching his four fists.

"You are too nervous, this will affect your judgment." Aruna walked up and said in a deep voice.

"I am not nervous..." Donovan shook his head: "But expectant!"

"I knew that guy wouldn't leave Amethyst, my waiting was not in vain!"

Aruna looked at the abnormally excited Donovan and also felt it was a bit outrageous.

Originally, the Four-Armed Titan Legion had already issued a transfer order to them, letting them leave Amethyst.

But Donovan was like being possessed by Li Yu's trickery, stubbornly refusing to leave, swearing to find him and make him pay the price.

But Donovan was like a headless fly, not knowing where to start investigating at all.

Right at this time, something happened to Capone's side. He still remembered the inconceivable expression of the Legion Commander during the internal meeting.

"...Don't know where an Interstellar Fortress popped out from, wiping out a third of Saster's Strength in one shot..."

And in the battle reports, there were actually traces of Li Yu, so Donovan applied to go for support.

Perhaps considering that he had experience dealing with Li Yu, the Legion Commander thought for a long time and sent him over.

And Donovan subsequently carried out a series of showy operations that could be called bizarre...

"...Capone agreed to the contact. They are not in the same system as us, be cautious." Aruna exhorted.

After the two shared trials and tribulations on that Barren Planet, their relationship was now much better.

Donovan and him both belonged to the Empire's Military, but Capone was someone in the Talent Support and Development Program, not belonging to the same faction.

Donovan looked casual, who knows if he listened.

Capone brought many people to welcome them. Donovan and the others brought a total of six A-Tier Lifeforms and ten thousand Four-Armed Titan Legion battleships.

This Strength was enough to largely make up for their losses, therefore although he was a Third Gene Evolution Body, Capone's attitude was very good.

He thought his posture was already good enough, but was angered by Donovan's first sentence to the point of almost starting a fight.

"...Everyone, don't speak, hand over all the electronic devices on your bodies." Donovan shouted coldly, looking around.

The crowd Looked at Each Other in Dismay, looking at Donovan who came up and issued orders at the slightest disagreement.

Aruna frowned slightly, cursing Reckless Brute inwardly. Before he could smooth things over, someone said coldly: "Your Excellency has such great prestige, coming up and issuing orders right away."

"Lord Capone is a Third Gene Evolution Body, what qualifications do you have to order him."

"Because I can catch Li Yu..." Donovan said proudly.

Hearing this unexpected answer, the crowd appeared even more bewildered.

Instead, Saster's reaction was the most intense. He immediately threw the electronic devices on his body on the ground, his words intense: "Everyone cooperate with him!"

Damn it, where the fk did these two Crazy Persons come from.

The electronic devices Saster threw on the ground were directly crushed by Donovan. Accompanied by crackling sounds, they revealed internal structures completely different from conventional mechanical equipment.

This made the crowd's faces change slightly, and no longer spoke, starting to take off the electronic devices on their bodies.

…………

"...Because I can catch Li Yu..."

Li Yu listened to this sentence, his expression peculiar. When did this Four-Armed Titan get such great confidence?

However, this guy indeed had some tricks up his sleeve, being one of the few who knew Li Yu could Enlighten Transformers.

Without the Enlightened Transformers, he wouldn't be able to know the other party's internal movements at any time. If accidentally discovered, it would probably cause some trouble.

"Now that the Metamorphosis is complete, there's no need to continue staying here..." Li Yu pondered secretly. Before, he wanted to use the Strength here to resist Morgan.

But now he already had the Strength to deal with Morgan, and as the crowd valued him more and more, it was hard to say whether he could still use this Strength.

.........

"What is this thing?"

The crowd gathered together, heads together looking at the continuously struggling Transformer before them.

"You will be killed by the great Creator..."

"Insignificant creatures actually dare to provoke the Creator!"

This small Transformer kept cursing angrily, making the crowd's expressions vary.

"This thing is a certain kind of Mechanical Lifeform. I discovered a long time ago that Li Yu possessed this ability. These creatures are natural spies..." Donovan carried a hint of contempt:

"Every move you made these days, Li Yu knew clearly."

The crowd's faces changed slightly. No wonder they used all their skills but couldn't find the other party. They had thought Li Yu had already left this place.

They didn't expect it was actually because of such a small plaything.

The way they looked at Donovan also changed slightly. This annoying Four-Armed Titan seemed to really have something.

Capone crushed the last Transformer, having no choice but to Pinch His Nose and ask: "What should we do next?"

"In the process of dealing with Li Yu, I have made many mistakes..." Donovan's voice carried a hint of heaviness: "Among them, what made me feel the most inappropriate was underestimating the other party too much."

"You should treat him as the most threatening enemy, handle him carefully, Proceeding Step by Step."

Does this person... have some kind of psychological trauma?

"That's right!" Saster appeared even more excited: "Value him, value him more, absolutely cannot despise him!"

The two looked at each other, suddenly feeling a sense of mutual appreciation.

Capone frowned, emphasizing his tone: "Are there any specific plans?"

"Contact the Salvation Ark, cooperate with them..." Donovan said without hesitation: "We cannot mobilize all of the Empire's Strength."

"But the Salvation Ark is different, they definitely have means to lock onto Li Yu."

"Cooperate with them?" Capone subconsciously wanted to refuse, and then suddenly thought, his mission actually had nothing to do with Li Yu.

He only had to defeat the Purple Crystal Imperial Family... why suddenly researching how to deal with Li Yu?

Thinking of this, his face changed slightly. This seemingly reckless Four-Armed Titan actually controlled the rhythm from the very beginning.

Immediately, he shook his head: "There's no need, your mission is to come support us, you only need to defeat the Purple Crystal Imperial Family. Li Yu will naturally have someone to deal with him."

Donovan's face didn't change, seemingly having expected him to have this thought long ago. He looked at this Third Gene Evolution Body and said in a deep voice: "If you don't help me, I won't help you either."

"You dare!" Capone's face changed in rage. This small Four-Armed Titan actually dared to threaten him.

"Of course I dare!" Donovan was totally unafraid. If the other party still wanted to mix in the Star Glory Empire, he couldn't possibly attack him.

Capone took a deep breath. Donovan relied on the Empire's top-tier legion—the Four-Armed Titan Legion, he really couldn't do anything about him.

He forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart, saying coldly: "Even if we cooperate with the Salvation Ark, what about after? Who should Li Yu belong to after catching him?"

"We'll talk about that after..." Donovan surprised the crowd again, subsequently explaining:

"It was precisely because the various factions were wary of each other and unable to join hands before that allowed him to continuously stir up trouble."

"This time let's catch him and cripple him first, then talk about what comes after."

The crowd was astonished, having already been shocked multiple times by Donovan in a short time. And Capone was angered to the point of laughing. What kind of brain-dead plan is this?

The two sides belonged to different camps. Do you really expect to Concerted Action when catching people without playing your own Petty Schemes?

Just catching people and not caring about afterwards? You're really a smartass.

If it was really that simple, the entire Interstellar space wouldn't have so many factions.

"Heh, whatever you want, my mission objectives don't include Li Yu." He directly took his people and left. However, Saster lingered in place, looking at Donovan:

"I think Your Excellency's plan is very feasible."

The Pathos Fleet was destroyed, and secretly conspiring to cooperate with the Salvation Ark was discovered. He was now on the verge of being discarded, urgently needing to prove his value.

And Li Yu was the best gift for atonement.
