Chapter 410: If You Don't Give It to Me, I'll Just Snatch It!

Perhaps many Stuart soldiers would never forget this scene.

In the Withered Starry Sky, someone had blown up a Cosmic Volcano with a single punch. The surging red particle storm served as a contrasting background.

Santoso, who had long noticed something was wrong, barely escaped the coverage area of the Power Gem. He looked at the scene before him in disbelief.

The Satan Civilization's massive fleet had disappeared. Nothing remained in their original position except a completely erased Starry Sky.

He glanced at the Combat System. For the purple energy wave that had just erupted, the Energy Level Reaction at merely its edges had already exceeded 10 million Cal.

As for the more Core Region, since he couldn't get close, it was difficult to detect. But based on deductions from the existing data alone, he knew that the Energy Level of the Core Region must be unimaginably high.

Thinking of this, he felt a sense of Survivors Of The Catastrophe even more. Fortunately, he had noticed something wrong and slipped away in time.

Otherwise, he would have also been one of the erased.

The Satan Civilization's fleet, however, was massive and couldn't easily leave at all. They could only take it head-on.

No wonder Li Yu was always unhurried and calm. If I had this kind of method, I wouldn't panic either.

Looking at that figure in the Void, Santoso couldn't help but feel a certain sense of awe in his heart.

In the face of irresistible mighty power, any lifeform could only bow its head.

Exactly what kind of attack method was this!? An ultra-high-risk compressed energy wave? Or some new type of annihilation cannon?

It seemed to have erupted from that Glove and that gem.

Santoso had the Combat System pull up the battle Recording and zoom in on the Infinity Gauntlet worn by Li Yu.

The metal structure on it was very simple, with six gem sockets, but only one socket was embedded with a purple gem.

Such a structure was clear at a glance, and at the same time, it made Santoso gasp.

If one gem had such power, if it were fully embedded with gems, what kind of power would it bring!?

Through the appearance of the Infinity Gauntlet, it wasn't hard to guess its final form.

This thought made his entire body tremble, while simultaneously giving rise to a surge of greed.

It was very obvious that the power just now did not originate from Li Yu himself.

And this kind of power originating from other objects had a common characteristic: it could be snatched.

However, right now, with just him alone, it was clearly very difficult to achieve this goal.

Moreover, he had never heard of any powerful gem in the Interstellar that could reach this level.

He pondered inwardly, "When I get back, maybe I can dig through the data on the Black Hole Network. It's impossible for such a powerful gem to have never appeared before."

"I'd better leave here first. If the other party reacts, I'll be in trouble."

...

"Damn... did you guys see that? What the f* was that thing?"

"The Satan fleet is just gone like that? How terrifying!"

"...Who is that guy? So awesome?"

"I feel like I've seen him somewhere before!?"

"Lawrence is dead, and the Satan Civilization suffered heavy losses. The climate in this Star Sector is going to change."

"Did you record it? A scene like this must be shown to shock others too."

"..."

Some of the remaining factions nearby communicated on the channel. Various voices rose and fell in succession. They truly hadn't expected to see such a scene in the end.

...

Meanwhile, as Li Yu looked at the desolate Starry Sky, his entire heart was dripping blood.

How come nothing was left? The warship wreckage was gone too?

Those were all high-precision alloys! Collected together, they could have been used to build the Death Star. Were they just gone like that?

He also hadn't expected the power of this punch to be so great.

He had no experience using Infinity Stones, so when wielding the Power Gem, he merely desperately activated the power within it.

Although the burden had already been significantly weakened by the Infinity Gauntlet, later on, his body still couldn't bear it.

In fact, the moment he threw that punch, his body had already collapsed and was nearly blown into fine powder. It was only because Near-Death Rebirth activated that he was resurrected again.

In other words, this punch was actually exchanged for one of his lives.

And the power of this punch far exceeded his imagination, directly erasing the entire Satan fleet, along with Lawrence who was commanding it.

The Infinity Gauntlet on his hand slowly disappeared. Li Yu turned to look at Hannibal, who still hadn't reacted.

"Your Excellency the President, come over and clean up the battlefield?" Li Yu sighed.

In fact, there was still quite a bit of warship wreckage in some peripheral locations, but compared to the fleet of the entire Satan Civilization, that little bit of wreckage seemed insignificant.

Hannibal still hadn't recovered from the scene just now. Beneath his helmet, his dignified face was full of astonishment.

Such a huge Satan Civilization fleet, gone just like that?

"Your Excellency the President!" Seeing that Hannibal hadn't moved for a long time, Li Yu called out again on the channel.

Hannibal suddenly snapped back to reality. Not daring to delay at all, for fear that the other party would throw another punch at him, he hurriedly issued orders for his subordinates to begin cleaning up the battlefield.

His expression was complex. Recalling his various little schemes from earlier, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

This big shot possessing such a screen-clearing method clearly had abundant confidence. Hilariously, he had actually thought the other party was reckless.

He had even worried that the other party might be captured by Satan. Now look, Lawrence had been turned into slag.

His previous delaying tactics would probably bring big trouble. Hannibal's mood was not beautiful.

"Collect all that remaining warship wreckage and deliver it to me..." Li Yu said. Although the amount wasn't much, no matter how small a mosquito's legs were, they were still meat.

"No problem..." Hannibal's attitude was completely contrary to before, not daring to show the slightest negligence.

Li Yu arrived in Hannibal's Main Ship to rest. The many generals and Senior Officials around all stood up in unison to welcome him, looking at him with gazes filled with awe.

Before Li Yu sat down, they didn't even dare to rest.

And there was even less need to mention those Ordinary soldiers. The scene just now had already surpassed the limits of their imagination. This would be an event they could brag about for a lifetime.

Sitting in the main seat, Li Yu ignored the personnel standing on both sides and pondered inwardly.

The power that erupted from the combination of the Infinity Gauntlet and the Power Gem far exceeded his imagination.

This was a Good Thing, but through this first attempt, he had also discovered quite a few shortcomings.

Even after being weakened by the Infinity Gauntlet, using the Power Gem would bring an extremely powerful burden.

Of course, this was under the condition of unrestricted activation. If used normally, the burden brought might not be this powerful.

Moreover, the charging wind-up was very long. That guy Santoso was even able to escape the coverage area. Its role as a single-target strike wasn't as great as imagined.

But overall, it still made Li Yu quite happy. Later, as his own Strength gradually grew, the burden of using it would naturally become smaller and smaller.

And its power would also become stronger and stronger!

However, there was currently a hidden danger. It was almost impossible to conceal the use of the Infinity Gauntlet and the Power Gem from others' eyes and ears.

After today, the factions that held grudges against him would probably obtain the intelligence data. Even those without grudges might covet the Infinity Gauntlet and the Power Gem.

After all, the Infinity Gauntlet's appearance was too simple and crude. Six gem sockets; anyone would know there were five more gems.

It wasn't that he didn't want to apply a disguise, but when using the Infinity Gauntlet, the power that erupted was too astonishing, making it simply impossible to disguise.

Forget it, Deal With Problems As They Arise. Thinking so much now was useless anyway; besides, Many Lice, No Worry.

With this thought, Li Yu instantly felt his entire body relax.

Before long, Hannibal finished cleaning up the battlefield. Actually, there really wasn't much that needed cleaning.

The places swept by the Power Gem were cleaner than if a dog had licked them.

"A total of 140 million tons of wreckage were cleared out. It has already been collected," Hannibal said to Li Yu.

While cleaning up the battlefield, he had also realized that the powerful Strength just now did not originate from Li Yu himself.

And that Glove. Just like Santoso, through the Glove's appearance, one could roughly deduce the function and potential of this thing, and he too developed strange thoughts.

However, looking at the current situation, if he couldn't instantly kill Li Yu, the risk taken would be too great.

And even Santoso couldn't instantly kill Li Yu, let alone him.

So no matter how unwilling Hannibal was in his heart, he could only maintain a respectful attitude toward Li Yu.

"Thank you, Your Excellency the President." Li Yu revealed a genial smile, but when it fell into Hannibal's eyes, it made his heart tremble.

Hesitating for less than half a second, Hannibal took the initiative to speak:

"Your Excellency the Duke, the 50 billion tons of alloy have already been prepared. You can prepare to receive them at any time."

Hearing this sentence, Li Yu's smile became even more brilliant. He slowly shook his head and said, "No rush, no rush. Given our relationship of sharing adversity together, whether you give these 50 billion tons of alloy or not doesn't matter."

As Li Yu spoke, he took out the mechanical equipment containing the Elemental Spirit from his Compressed Space, played with it in his hand, and continued:

"I haven't seen an Elemental Spirit yet. This thing seems quite interesting."

Motherf*er, starting to extort, huh? Even though Hannibal was prepared in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a burst of frustration. He said in a deep voice:

"Your Excellency the Duke, the Elemental Spirit is very important to Stuart. Please name your price."

"Name what price?" Li Yu's face looked bewildered. "Why make it sound as if I'm trying to extort you?"

Aren't you!?

Seeing his appearance, the surrounding officials couldn't help but curse inwardly.

But the benefits of being powerful were manifested here. Even if this group of people disliked Li Yu, they could only suppress their anger and force a smile.

"I heard you are in dire need of Military-Grade Alloy recently. We still have 200 billion tons in reserve..." Hannibal took a deep breath and said:

"Including the previous 50 billion tons, that's a total of 250 billion tons of Military-Grade Alloy. What do you think?"

Hannibal's offer was quite generous. This was roughly the price for an Elemental Spirit, mainly because they were extremely rare.

After all, the large group of A-Tier Lifeforms Li Yu had captured only exchanged for a total of 200 billion tons of Military-Grade Alloy.

However, 200 billion tons clearly couldn't satisfy Li Yu's appetite.

The Satan fleet was almost entirely gone, leaving only 140 million tons of wreckage. Who would compensate for his losses?

"To tell you the truth, I've always wanted to raise a pet. This Elemental Spirit suits my taste perfectly."

Through the screen on the containment device, Li Yu could see a crimson humanoid elemental body forcibly restrained inside.

Pet your mother!

Hannibal frowned tightly, exchanged a look with the surrounding officials, and then spoke again: "300 billion tons of alloy, Your Excellency the Duke. This is our Bottom Line."

"Did you guys hear that? It seems to be calling me master," Li Yu said, pointing at the containment device.

The surrounding generals felt their livers ache with anger. The entire containment device was manufactured using cutting-edge Technology. It was impossible for there to be the slightest gap.

Calling you master? Thanks for coming up with that!

"350 billion!" Hannibal's voice rose slightly, adding at the same time: "Plus those 50 billion tons, for a total of 400 billion tons."

"Although the Fire Elemental Spirit is very important to us, we cannot pay an unlimited price."

Li Yu looked up, put away his expression, and said indifferently, "I could have simply snatched it directly, but I still gave you the chance to make an offer."

"One trillion tons!" Li Yu looked around and directly more than doubled Hannibal's final offer.

"Impossible!" Before Hannibal could speak, someone among the officials nearby directly refused:

"Do you know what one trillion tons of Military-Grade Alloy means!?"

"The entire Return Star only consumes this much Military-Grade Alloy in over half a year!"

"Of course I know..." Li Yu nodded, while breaking into a grin, revealing his white teeth, and said chillingly: "But if you don't give it to me, I'll snatch it myself!"

The Stuart Civilization was Li Yu's current hope for rapidly advancing the construction progress of the Death Star; naturally, he had to fleece them hard.

Not to mention, Hannibal had left him hanging earlier and even Stand Idly By when he was fighting Santoso. How could Li Yu possibly let this go without squeezing this group of people dry?

If not for this series of events adding up, he wouldn't have directly threatened the other party. After all, he was also a civilized person.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the cabin instantly dropped to the freezing point.

Many generals had faces full of disbelief. Snatch? But you're a Duke of Return Star!?

"Stuart and Return Star are still Allies. You can't treat us like this!" someone couldn't help but say.

"But what if I do?" Li Yu showed a curious expression, choking the person into speechlessness.

Li Yu stretched and shook his head, saying, "If you hadn't intended to delay from the very beginning, things wouldn't have developed to this situation today."

Hannibal had not spoken. His expression was gloomy. Did the modern Stuart Civilization have the Strength to oppose Li Yu?

Yes!

Did they have the ability to oppose that Glove?

No!

Even if there was a high probability that Li Yu wouldn't actually attack, did Hannibal dare to Gamble?

He didn't dare!

"This guy has made up his mind to squeeze us dry..."

"...Lawrence is dead, and the Satan Civilization has suffered heavy losses. It will take some time for them to choose an heir. If we move fast enough, we can still gain a lot of interest..."

"..."

Many thoughts flashed through Hannibal's mind. Under Li Yu's unreasonableness, he didn't have many choices.

"We can only offer 800 billion!" he said, gritting his teeth.

Hearing this, Li Yu's face once again broke into a genial smile: "Deal."
