Chapter 426: Snapped a Meaningless Finger Snap

The [Symbiotic Bio-Armor] emitted a demonic blood light. According to Claptrap's data report, the underlying structure of the [Symbiotic Bio-Armor] was slowly upgrading at a faint speed.

"It can even do this?"

Li Yu was somewhat surprised. He looked at the Protoplasmic Avatars penetrating deep into the foul blood around him.

According to the status bar's description, the [Blood and Flesh Mire] was kneaded from the corpses of deceased creatures.

And the [Symbiotic Bio-Armor] could precisely Devour biological matter to strengthen itself. Although it looked somewhat disgusting, pretending not to see it would do.

This was quite an unexpected harvest.

Due to the battle fluctuations between the two, almost no one around dared to approach. As time passed, the two gradually became the focus of the massive interstellar battlefield.

...

Within the Troll Legion, Raymond stared at the suddenly intervening Council fleet, but there wasn't much surprise on his face, as if he had foreseen the current situation long ago.

"Are the brains of that group of Divine Spirits acting up again?"

Raymond glanced at him: "Before, facing our probing attack, The Council remained indifferent. This is enough to prove they have their own plans."

Ted keenly realized that Raymond possessed information he didn't know. He quickly recovered from his bewildered state, looking thoughtful: "I guessed as much, I just didn't expect their target would actually be..."

He stopped halfway and looked at Raymond, attempting to hear the other half of the news from his mouth.

Raymond couldn't be bothered with this guy who only had well-developed limbs. He issued an order in a deep voice on the channel: "All Troll Legion personnel, immediately cease all attacks and contract formation."

"You want to let the two of them fight first?" Ted wasn't completely stupid at least, at least seeing the intent behind Raymond issuing this order.

"Correct. Since The Council is also attacking Returning Star, there's no need for us to waste excessive Strength." Raymond nodded, rarely explaining: "It's better to wait and see what happens here."

Raymond's reasoning was sound and well-founded, and Ted had no doubts, so he also issued the same order.

Not long after the orders were transmitted, a bizarre scene subsequently appeared on the fiery interstellar battlefield.

Otto was using the power of the Twelve Golden Immortals to fight against "Ice Peak" Tarba. The howling cold winds couldn't cause any damage to the massive Mechanical Lifeforms.

"Haha, idiot Tarba, if you want to drink the wine I mix, hurry up and obediently come over and let grandpa capture you." Otto said excitedly.

Facing these twelve Mechanical Lifeforms, Tarba was also helpless and could only curse secretly.

However, a moment later, the howling cold wind abruptly stopped. Against the backdrop of the ice tornado, Tarba actually started to evacuate from here.

"You know you can't beat me now, right!" Otto didn't forget to spread trash talk on the channel.

"Thanks a lot, you guys..." Otto excitedly patted the giant metal plating beside him.

"For Duke Li Yu!" Huanglong said in a muffled voice.

"For Duke Li Yu!" Otto also echoed, and then immediately went to find a new battlefield.

However, it didn't take long for him to notice something was wrong. Throughout the entire interstellar battlefield, the High-Level Lifeforms belonging to the Star Glory Empire were all fighting while retreating.

They stopped fighting?

Otto was somewhat bewildered. With such a great situation, the other side actually wasn't continuing the attack. What were those two Legion Commanders thinking?

Just as this question emerged, someone explained it to him on the internal channel.

"Fuck, the cunning Star Glory Empire, they want to wait until we and The Council are both heavily injured, and then come out to clean up the mess."

"Damn it, can't that group of Divine Spirits see this? They don't think that after defeating us, they can still drive these two legions away, do they?"

"..."

After cursing the brain-dead Divine Spirits for a while, someone suddenly spoke on the channel:

"It seems Duke Li Yu is still fighting!?"

"Oh?" Otto trembled all over and cast his gaze toward the only place in the entire battlefield that was still erupting with Energy Fluctuations.

The Star Glory Empire withdrawing their troops was within Horus's expectations. If it were him, he would also choose Sitting On The Mountain To Watch Tigers Fight.

Naturally, he wouldn't order Returning Star's High-Level Lifeforms to pursue them, and also had them retreat, contracting their formation once again.

And so, a bizarre thing happened. The battles across the entire interstellar battlefield were gradually ceasing, and only Li Yu was still fighting Rohan.

A massive number of fleets surrounded the Guixing Expeditionary Force in the center.

At the same time, various complex cutting-edge Technologies were activated to detect all abnormal Energy Fluctuations, preventing Returning Star from A cornered dog will leap over a wall.

The Divine Spirits of The Council didn't rashly attack, confronting Returning Star's High-Level Lifeforms like spectators.

"Divine Spirits of The Council, can't you see that the Star Glory Empire is waiting for us to both be heavily injured?" A senior general said in a deep voice on the broadcast channel:

"I don't care why you attacked us, but in this current situation, there's no need for our two sides to continue fighting."

"We can stop, but there is a prerequisite condition." The Council's side quickly responded.

"What condition?" that general inquired.

"Hand Li Yu over to us!"

Duke Li Yu?

As soon as this was said, the numerous senior generals of Returning Star were slightly stunned, and then it was as if a bolt of lightning pierced their minds.

So the target is Li Yu!

From the moment Li Yu first notified them of this news, they were somewhat unwilling to believe it.

Not only because Li Yu's words were Empty words are no proof, but more so because they couldn't think of what kind of benefits could drive the alliance of The Council to attack them.

Even when the matter of The Council backstabbing them just now became reality, this question still remained unanswered.

It was only now, when those Divine Spirits personally stated their target, that they understood.

But a sense of absurdity arose in their hearts again; all this just to deal with Li Yu.

What benefits does he hold? That special Glove?

Is it really worth it?

The minds of the numerous senior generals raced, and the gazes they directed at Li Yu were also somewhat complex.

So it's because of you, kid. I was wondering why we were all sweet and loving with The Council before, and then suddenly drew blades to stab each other.

If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be caught in this Attacked From All Sides situation.

Quite a few senior generals felt a bit of dissatisfaction in their hearts, and those who already found him an eyesore were extremely displeased, cursing secretly in their hearts.

"Wishful thinking. Duke Li Yu's Identity is noble, it's impossible to hand him over to you!" Otto immediately shouted loudly: "If even Duke Li Yu can be handed over to you, wouldn't our Returning Star exist in name only?"

This righteous shout served as a reminder to everyone. No matter how much of an eyesore they found Li Yu, he was still in the same camp.

If they handed Li Yu over today because of danger, it was very likely they could be sold out in the future too.

"Exactly, this is your wishful thinking!"

Numerous senior generals responded one after another, their attitudes resolute.

"If that's the case, then fight!"

A hot-tempered Divine Spirit shouted. The Council's fleet had already begun attacking, and Returning Star's battleships also rose up to resist.

A chaotic melee broke out. Energy Rays of various colors, as well as highly destructive Physical Missiles, flew across Interstellar space.

A Divine Spirit had a complex ring of Runes wreathed around him. Following his chanting, the Rune ring continuously expanded, flashing with dazzling Purple Light.

As the Rune ring expanded to its limit, thick crystal arrows shot in all directions. Their power was immense, piercing through the battleships' Energy Shields and causing great casualties.

The Divine Spirits of The Council used divine power. This was just their own term for it; in reality, it was the combination of Mental Power and Faith.

Through special methods, various incredible powers could be unleashed.

Silent explosions of fire outlined a tragic battle scene. Various Elemental Powers boiled, divine power surged, and the exhaust flames of Armor left slowly dissipating trails in the Starry Sky.

The twelve Transformers had already arrived at this battlefield, providing powerful assistance.

It was exactly because of their existence that Returning Star was vaguely even stronger than The Council at the high-tier combat power level.

"We can't drag this on, the Star Glory Empire is still Covetously Staring." Among the Subordinate Deities of the Solar Councilor, a Divine Spirit exuding golden flames all over looked at Rohan's battlefield.

"What is he doing? Why hasn't he finished the battle yet?"

"The God of Flesh and Blood naturally has his own ideas." The Nightmare Knight's faction retorted without hesitation.

These Subordinate Deities were different from Believers. They wouldn't blindly obey the Chief God, but had their own thinking.

They were more like a community of interests, needing to stand up for their own Divine Pantheon.

They obtained a portion of Faith and protection from the Chief God, and in turn worked hard to develop the entire Divine Pantheon.

One's own Subordinate Deities were also the most reassuring force for the Chief God Councilors, because it was almost impossible for them to threaten the Councilor's position.

...

Horus crossed his arms, looking up and staring intently at the interstellar battlefield. Although his face was calm, the fingers occasionally tapping on his arm were enough to prove the unease in his heart.

He himself was an A4-level existence, while The Council didn't have power at this tier here. If he made a move, he should reasonably be able to crush the opponent.

But he knew that since The Council dared to backstab them, they definitely had the power to deal with him.

Acting rashly would only make the outcome even more unpredictable.

To retreat from here, they needed to wait for the only variable.

That was the power of the Dimensional Camp!

...

"This thing really can't be killed completely..." Li Yu had already entrusted the combat mode to Claptrap, anyway, it was just Mechanized hacking and slashing.

He divided his Attention to pay attention to the external battle situation. The Star Glory Empire choosing to Stand Idly By was good news for them.

"I originally wanted to play with you a bit more, but some people seem unwilling." Rohan's voice sounded by his ear again.

Li Yu couldn't be bothered with him. Rohan's current state was indeed hard to cause him much damage, which was just right for letting the [Symbiotic Bio-Armor] steal some power.

As Rohan's words fell, the massive flesh and blood planet suspended in the Starry Sky abruptly began to condense, and an incomparably dazzling blood light covered the entire firmament.

In the blood light, one could vaguely see ferocious and twisted Believers prostrating on the ground, letting out miserable wails.

This scene already vaguely possessed the embryonic form of a Divine Realm, representing that Rohan was also a promising Divine Spirit with a bright future.

Only by possessing one's own Divine Realm could one be considered a truly powerful Divine Spirit, comparable to an A4-tier evolutionist.

Li Yu's Combat System issued frantic early warnings. His pupils shrank, and he made a subconscious reaction.

Immediately, an abundant and massive force erupted, and a blood-colored annular Shockwave burst forth. He flew straight back a long distance before barely steadying his figure.

And at the place he originally stood, a blood-colored phantom was looking at its own left hand flashing with Purple Light.

"What powerful strength, is this that Glove?" Rohan's scarlet eyes flickered with various emotions.

Li Yu panted heavily, and on his right hand, the [Infinity Gauntlet] was flashing with brilliant radiance.

The [Infinity Gauntlet] definitely couldn't only be used as an Energy Cannon; he was just experimenting last time.

Just now at the very last moment, he used the [Infinity Gauntlet] to block Rohan's attack, which prevented him from taking too much damage.

It was just that...

He glanced at the digitized Health Points. The rate of decrease had accelerated by several degrees, and now it was only around 56%.

The moment the [Infinity Gauntlet] appeared, it attracted the Attention of quite a few people.

Even in the scorching Interstellar War, quite a few gazes converged.

The power of this Glove didn't need much further elaboration; everyone knew the power it could unleash.

At the same time, they were all curious about whether the gemstones represented by the remaining slots actually existed.

The Divine Spirit wreathed in golden flames all over instantly shifted his gaze over. The look he directed at the [Infinity Gauntlet] contained burning passion and greed.

Rohan was not in a hurry to launch an attack: "I'm very curious about a question. The other five gemstones don't actually exist, do they?"

"Perhaps, who knows..." Li Yu shrugged.

Rohan continued: "If there are, and they are all socketed onto this Glove, would something terrifying happen?"

"Guess..."

Li Yu didn't answer directly. Instead, he raised the [Infinity Gauntlet], rubbed his thumb and middle finger together, and snapped a Finger Snap.

Apart from sparks generated by the friction of the metal shell, no abnormal situation occurred.

Rohan frowned slightly, not knowing why Li Yu made such a movement.

"Is that Old geezer Horus still not making a move?" The Divine Spirit wreathed in golden flames all over stared intently at the "Circe" Interstellar Fortress.

Taking down Li Yu was not a difficult task. However, what they needed to face was the entire Guixing Expeditionary Force.

And Horus, even more so, was the biggest trouble.

The reason Rohan didn't go all out was precisely to guard against Horus, who could make a move at any time.

"The Council's target is actually Li Yu, this kid's value is actually this great." Ted was somewhat surprised, and then added: "Didn't those Nobles also have us capture him?"

"Looking at it this way, our target seems to conflict with The Council's. Should we strike early? If The Council captures Li Yu, it will be troublesome."

Raymond shook his head, his robust body slowly pacing around the simulated sand table: "Don't be anxious, Horus hasn't made a move yet. That guy is not easy to deal with."

"The Council is also trying to lure him into making a move. I don't know what methods they have prepared to counter him, let's first see what kind of game they play between them."

"Our power is crushing to either of them, there's no need to rush."

Raymond's words sounded very reasonable and once again convinced Ted.

However, his figure flickered for a moment, as if there was some notification. After the projection solidified again, his tone was bizarre:

"There's a person under me who has dealt with Li Yu for a long time. Perhaps he can provide us with some suggestions."
