Chapter 386: Li Yu's Bad Taste

"The Lord has already contacted us. Based on the predictions of both our trajectories, the optimal rendezvous point has been calculated."

Stanley swiped on the Holographic Screen and quickly arrived at a set of coordinates.

Anthony, on the other hand, was refreshing various news feeds on his Smart Terminal. Sitting across from him was Kansa, who looked somewhat absent-minded.

"The Lord's battle record this time has completely detonated the Interstellar Network, truly astonishing." Anthony flicked his snake tongue, unconcealable excitement in his Snake pupils.

Immediately, he looked at Carol on the other side. His state didn't seem too good, his arm bandaged up and wrapped in [Rapid Repair Gel], looking as if he were injured.

"I didn't lie to you back then, right? Deciding to follow the Lord will be the most correct decision you make in this life." Anthony teased: "Wasn't the civilization you came from also oppressed by Amethyst? Now the Lord has helped you get revenge."

Carol ignored him, leaning against the metal Ship Cabin, staring blankly at the bizarre Warp Lanes outside through the window.

He felt his recent experiences were like a dream. Amethyst... that powerful faction that caused his civilization to be battered and exhausted, with nowhere to turn.

Just because of the aftermath of a battle, it easily decided the victorious direction of the civil war?

Looking at Carol, whose thoughts were unknown, Anthony shook his head, then looked at Kansa opposite him and said amiably: "I heard Your Excellency and the Lord are old acquaintances?"

Hearing this, Kansa abruptly came to his senses. Although Anthony had a smile on his face, it gave him a shuddering feeling, not daring to slight this guy.

It was precisely this group of people who rescued him from Saster's encampment.

Also thanks to Saster taking away most of the High Echelon forces, Stanley and the others' rescue operation wasn't considered difficult, only a few teammates suffered some minor injuries.

So he hurriedly spoke up:

"Indeed, I got to know Your Excellency Li Yu relatively early, and once handled some small matters for him."

"I didn't expect... he has reached this stage now."

Kansa was deeply moved. The first time he and Li Yu met was still in the Morkansa Star System.

And that place was also the turning point of his destiny, completely changing him.

Anthony shook his head: "You are too modest. The Lord specifically instructed us that we must absolutely rescue you out, which shows what you did was extremely valuable."

Stanley, who was positioning the coordinates, glanced at him. When did the Lord say this guy must absolutely be rescued?

Rather, he said: "If the guard forces are too strong, evacuate first."

Anthony was playing his little tricks again. Stanley shook his head, too lazy to bother.

"He..." Kansa froze, pursing his lips. He didn't expect Li Yu to actually be such a person who kept his promises. At this moment, a warm current couldn't help but surge in his apprehensive heart.

Anthony looked at the dazed Kansa, his Snake pupils involuntarily contracting and dilating, revealing a grim smile.

.........

On both sides of the Salvation Ark's battleship, twelve archaic battleships were escorting. Their Aura was majestic, they were exactly the twelve Transformers.

In the ship's cabin, twelve glowing blue projections were half-kneeling in front of Li Yu. Li Yu looked down at the projections of the numerous Transformers.

These 12 Transformers were considered an extra harvest from this battle.

With his current number of Believers, he fell far short of being able to Enlighten Transformers on a massive scale like before.

It was only because he utilized the Artificial Deities he obtained previously that he managed to achieve this scale.

"Better accumulate Virtual Faith first to Enlighten the [Apostle], saves me the trouble of finding a pilot every time."

With this thought emerging in his mind, he looked at the twelve projections in front of him again. This was a force absolutely loyal to him. As if thinking of something interesting, his eyes revealed a playful look:

"Although each of your battleships has its own name, since you've been reborn, you should change your names."

"Yes!"

The twelve Transformers naturally had no objections, and were even looking forward to it. Being personally named by the Creator was an immense Honor.

"Starting today, you will be respectively called Guangcheng, Chijing..."

Li Yu pointed out twelve names. Since I am the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, how could I be missing the Twelve Golden Immortals? Li Yu pondered secretly, this was his pure bad taste.

Then his expression became strange. The fate of the Twelve Golden Immortals didn't seem too good, these subordinates of his wouldn't follow in their footsteps, right?

But immediately he sneered. At the end of the day, it was just a name. They could even be called Zhang San or Li Si, these names were just for fun.

......

Several days later, Li Yu also rendezvoused with Stanley and the others. Kansa's eyes were red, not knowing if it was real or acting, expressing his loyalty right away, saying things like only following Li Yu's lead.

Li Yu didn't really care much about Kansa. It was only because he once promised Kansa to keep him alive that he sent Stanley and the others to rescue him.

He was a man who kept his promises.

As for Kansa himself, he didn't hold much value right now... Thinking of this, Li Yu suddenly remembered a certain matter Kansa had mentioned before.

"You said before that Saster seemed to be plotting against you, what was that about?" Li Yu inquired.

Kansa hesitated for a moment, then spoke: "Saster planned to push me up as the new Amethyst Emperor, to reduce Amethyst's scarce psychological resistance."

"Then slowly achieve a transfer of Power. He didn't want to consume too much of Amethyst's internal vital forces."

Li Yu realized. Kansa was the Amethyst Emperor's biological son, letting him serve as the Amethyst Emperor indeed could effectively reduce the rebellious mentality within Amethyst.

"In that case..." Li Yu's eyes gradually brightened. What Saster could do, why couldn't he?

Anyway, he had long offended the Star Glory Empire to death, might as well disgust the other party some more, and also complete Kansa's re-employment on the job.

However, he obviously couldn't accomplish this matter alone, and he didn't have much time to scheme. When the time came, he would return to Returning Star and find someone dedicated to doing this.

It just so happens he's short of money recently, and returning requires buying a massive amount of Weapons and equipment to enhance the [Titan Colonization Armor]. He might even be able to fish for some stuff through this.

Thinking of this, his smile became even more brilliant, hugging Kansa: "You and I are old acquaintances, no need to be polite. From now on, if I have a bite of meat, I definitely won't let you starve."

However, the more Li Yu's attitude was like this, the more apprehensive Kansa became. But having reached this stage, he had no way to leave, only able to pray Li Yu wouldn't harm him.

After the group rendezvoused, they headed straight for the Barot Civilization. Traveling from Amethyst to Returning Star, Barot was a place that couldn't be bypassed on a straight route.

Moreover, there was still a fleet at that place, and Hunter was still there doing nothing.

......

After a few more days, at the border of the Barot Civilization, President Massimo led the Honor Guard Fleet waiting here, a golden ring of light waves enveloping the entire Honor Guard Fleet.

This was the "Saiya Ring". When the Barot Civilization was still Tribal Natives, what they presented to the strong members of the tribe Returning from the Hunt was the "Saiya Ring".

Symbolizing the Mightiest Being!

And when they became an Interstellar civilization, the "Saiya Ring" became their highest form of reception etiquette externally.

Beside Massimo, an old man said softly: "Mr. President, is it necessary to treat him this solemnly? Last time when the Aura Civilization's delegation came, we didn't even use the 'Saiya Ring'."

"A delegation is a delegation, the 'Saiya Ring' is only presented to the strong." Das shook his head, emphasizing.

"There's a lot of inflation in his combat power, many intelligence channels say he paid an immense price to burst out that kind of combat power." Someone held a different opinion.

There were many spectators in that battle. As time passed, more and more rumors flew all over the sky.

Among them, the most rumored was Li Yu's Strength issue. Many research institutes came out Piggybacking on the trend, claiming the Strength he burst out was extremely abnormal, definitely having paid some kind of severe price.

"No matter how he burst out that Strength, the battle record is right there!"

"..." The crowd discussed animatedly. Massimo frowned:

"We've already discussed this matter. The important thing isn't Li Yu, but our attitude."

In the early stages of Amethyst's civil unrest, the Barot Civilization's attitude was very Ambiguous, even having a feeling of trying to have their cake and eat it too.

But with this battle of Li Yu's, it sounded an alarm for the Barot Civilization.

Returning Star was always a top-tier civilization capable of contending with the Star Glory Empire, randomly popping out a heaven-defying figure was enough to make them very difficult to deal with.

Better to honestly cling to their thigh, and not harbor too many delusions.

Li Yu himself wasn't interested in this kind of etiquette interaction, even feeling annoyed. He neither hated nor loved the Barot Civilization.

He also didn't care about the Barot Civilization's Petty Schemes, but one shouldn't hit a smiling person.

The other party was waiting at the door with the highest etiquette, Li Yu couldn't just not show his face, so he could only negotiate perfunctorily, accepting their "Saiya Ring".

After being busy for several hours, this meeting finally ended.

......

"You're back, feels good right?" Hunter lay on a reclined chair, glancing at Li Yu who walked in, his tone carrying schadenfreude.

He had long learned the news of Li Yu's impending return, and also knew the Barot Civilization used grand etiquette to welcome him.

Based on his understanding of Li Yu, this guy was definitely extremely annoyed.

The other two fleets had left Barot long ago, only the Meteor Fleet was still waiting for their Commander.

"Seeing you look like a Slacker, I'm suddenly very displeased." Li Yu said crossly.

"You're displeased?" Hunter rolled his eyes: "I'm the one who's jealous."

"Damn it, when you kid first entered that Garbage Factory, you were an idiot who knew nothing."

"It's only been a few years, and you transformed into a Major Cosmic Figure, while I'm still that useless trash, it really pisses me off."

Li Yu nodded with deep feeling: "Indeed, you don't seem to have changed from when we came out of The Junkyard."

"That's right, Claptrap can testify." Claptrap's voice suddenly rang out in the cabin: "Hunter is just a loafer, frequently roasting you when there's nothing to do, Master."

Hunter wanted to speak even less, Speechless: "You Artificial Mental Retardation, the bad habit of snitching still hasn't changed, go play on the side."

Anthony's Snake pupils shrank, his gaze falling on Hunter.

He could judge from Hunter's first sentence that this old geezer's relationship with the Lord was very unusual.

But he didn't expect it to actually be special to this degree, that Claptrap would actually take the initiative to speak and tease the other party.

He had followed Li Yu for quite a while now, knowing Claptrap was an extremely powerful Artificial Intelligence, even far more special than Artificial Intelligences, seemingly possessing its own emotions.

But towards people like them, it fundamentally wouldn't reveal other emotions, only showing slight emotional changes when conversing with Li Yu.

And now, there was another person who could cause Claptrap to have emotional changes, and that was this inconspicuous old man in front of him.

Anthony noticed this extremely inconspicuous detail, placing this old man's Status extremely high.

While Li Yu was long accustomed to this. After all, this was how the few of them came to be.

Li Yu, Claptrap, Hunter, Mo Duo, three people and one machine, walked out from the Garbage Factory.

In the very beginning, Claptrap and Hunter battled wits and bravery for a long time, forging a deep "bond".

Wonder how Mo Duo is doing... This thought emerged in Li Yu's mind, his eyes becoming very complex.

Mo Duo was still in a deep slumber. He left a few Smart Terminals in that space.

If Mo Duo awakened, she would definitely contact him at the first possible moment.

Li Yu chuckled twice, tossing the Golden Ring in his hand: "Doing all this empty stuff, might as well throw me a few hundred billion Star Coins."

This was manufactured using some kind of precious Crystal. Put on the Black Market, it could also sell for tens of millions of Star Coins.

The giant golden ring lingering around the entire fleet was just a symbol, this was the true "Saiya Ring".

"Just be content, many people Flock to Eagerly for this plaything." Hunter slouched in his Seat, his tone lazy.

Li Yu had just returned to the Meteor Main Ship, and his subordinates had already begun preparing for the return voyage.

"Fine, it's yours." Li Yu casually threw the "Saiya Ring" to Hunter. Hunter glanced at it a couple of times in his hand, then lost interest, casually placing it in the Cockpit:

"Those who can't get it Flock to Eagerly, those who get it Discard Like Old Shoes."

Immediately, Hunter added: "By the way, before Soli left, he expressed extreme dissatisfaction with you, his words full of threats. Titus seems to want to target you."

"But that was before you fought this battle record. Now the attitude of the Gui Xing High Command towards you should have undergone quite a few changes again."

"Mm..." Li Yu nodded: "Not a big problem. Vimala wants to rope me in, let her duke it out with Titus."

Then the two chatted idly for a moment, before he remembered a certain matter, pondering: "The Gene Optimization Device I obtained before can repair the genetic defects of biological bodies themselves."

"Weren't your genes damaged because your Gene Chains were extracted before? It should be able to be repaired, right?"

The originally rather lazy Hunter suddenly sat up upon hearing this sentence, his eyes fiery as he looked at Li Yu, saying excitedly: "Really?"

No one wouldn't yearn for individual mighty power that could traverse Interstellar space, Hunter was the same.

It was just that previously his Gene Chains were extracted, leaving indelible damage, and he didn't awaken any useful Superpowers either, which truly made him feel dejected for a long time.

"I don't know either, but theoretically it should be possible." Li Yu pondered.
