Chapter 427: [Death Star] is Born!

"You mean that guy who fled from the Amethyst battlefield?" Raymond raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Ted.

Ted's expression was a bit embarrassed. The matter of Donovan using the rest of the A-Tier Lifeforms as bait to let himself evacuate safely had gradually spread as numerous A-Tier Lifeforms were ransomed back. This made Ted lose a lot of face.

He forcefully ignored Raymond's words and let Donovan's projection descend here.

"Legion Commander, Legion Commander Raymond!" Donovan bowed respectfully to the two.

"You said you have a lot of experience dealing with Li Yu. Although you failed in Amethyst last time, I know it didn't have much to do with you." Ted forcefully tried to save face for him.

In the period after the Amethyst battlefield, Donovan would open his eyes in the middle of the night feeling like Li Yu was hiding in his bed; he had already become his nightmare.

And seeing Li Yu here again, Donovan felt this was an opportunity, so he requested an audience with Ted to offer suggestions.

"What are your thoughts?" Raymond looked at him, his expression calm.

Donovan didn't hesitate: "My suggestion is for the two Legion Commanders to personally take action, not giving him any chance to resist, and take him down directly!"

"If it's a suggestion like this, do we need you to give it?"

Raymond scolded without mercy.

Ted also felt this sentence didn't have much value.

Donovan's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly explained: "Two Legion Commanders, based on my long-term experience fighting against him, entangling with him is the least desirable method."

"He really has too many methods. I don't know if those methods come from the Dimensional Camp or somewhere else, but the longer it drags on, the more variables there are."

"So I suggest using lightning-fast methods to take him down, giving him no chances."

Raymond didn't know what he was thinking in his heart. With a wave of his big hand, the virtual combat sand table rapidly enlarged, and Li Yu, wearing the [Infinity Gauntlet], was clearly visible.

"According to your deduction, right now the Radiant Council is giving Li Yu a chance."

Donovan nodded without hesitation: "Exactly, Legion Commander Raymond. I can guarantee that it's highly unlikely the Radiant Council will capture Li Yu."

"Oh?" Ted looked at his Subordinate with a strange gaze, feeling that Donovan had undergone some Baffling changes since returning from the Ancient Starpath.

Originally, he had quite highly valued this young lad. How come he seemed a bit demonic now?

Raymond's tone was also slightly bizarre: "Since The Council dared to make a move, they definitely made all kinds of preparations. Yet you say they won't succeed?"

Donovan said with absolute certainty: "Exactly. No amount of preparation is as good as using the strongest power. Only if a Councilor personally comes will that guy be completely unable to resist."

"Alright, Scram, scram..." Ted waved his hand in Speechless annoyance.

He thought his Subordinate could give some outstanding insights, but it turned out he just came here to spout nonsense.

Saying they should deploy a Councilor? Deploying a Councilor just to capture a single Li Yu? Does he really think those Councilors are common cabbages on the side of the road?

"Wait, let him watch here." Raymond stopped Ted.

Ted's face showed displeasure, thinking Raymond was deliberately watching his Subordinate make a fool of himself to mock him.

Thinking of this, he glared fiercely at Donovan again.

Donovan shrank his neck, not knowing where he had offended this Legion Commander. Everything he said was the honest truth.

Beep, beep—

A warning sound came from the simulated combat sand table. A figure wreathed in flames flew out from the "Solar Diadem", clearly preparing to join the battlefield.

"It's the God of Burning Embers—Havard. Looks like he Can't Sit Still anymore."

Raymond's gaze condensed slightly.

...

Piercing light flames shot from afar. One moment they were tens of thousands of kilometers away, and the next moment they were right in front of Li Yu's head.

Fuck!

Li Yu raised the [Infinity Gauntlet], attempting to block, but another surging Aura rushed over like an erupting volcano, knocking the light flames flying.

Horus made a move!

"Evil person, go die!" A white phantom darted out from the side, its shout echoing like a massive bronze bell.

The dazzling light made the affected soldiers feel a sense of shame.

They began to look back on their lives, seeing if they had done anything contrary to justice.

Because the distance was relatively close, Li Yu could clearly see Horus's mouth twitching.

His movements were casual, but his seemingly withered palms erupted with unimaginable Strength.

Where the two made contact, powerful Energy gushed out, causing all battleships to issue frantic alarms. The expanding Shockwave cleared the surrounding area.

It directly smacked this God Of Justice flying out at an even faster speed.

The resplendent phantom broke into pieces in the Universe. Although it looked casual, Horus actually didn't hold back at all.

However, that God Of Justice wasn't affected much. The existential state of Divine Spirits was very special; basically, none existed purely as physical bodies.

Old man Horus, I also didn't know there would be a day we'd fight side by side. I also don't know how to dispel this "Curse"... I can only wrong you, old man.

Besides, who told you to try and kill me back then? You can't blame me, Li Yu muttered to himself.

"You finally made a move." Havard returned from afar, surging golden flames wreathed around him.

"What kind of methods have you prepared for me?" Horus's expression was indifferent. He had experienced countless storms.

Just now, he could tell Rohan was enticing him to make a move. He knew Horus couldn't just sit and watch Li Yu get captured.

Their opponent wasn't the Li Yu in front of them at all, but the Horus behind him.

Therefore, he always maintained just the right amount of pressure on Li Yu; slightly heavier and it was very likely to defeat him.

Attempting to make Horus highly tense and make a move at some inopportune moment.

But Horus also kept his composure and simply didn't make a move.

Making Havard's patience run out, forcing him to personally take action to force Horus out.

"To be able to see this item, you should feel honored!"

Havard sneered. The golden flames wreathed around him abruptly expanded.

Even in a vacuum environment, these flames burned extremely vigorously, covering a radius of thousands of kilometers in the blink of an eye.

The surrounding temperature rapidly rose, and quite a few metal remnants floating in the Universe were melted into molten iron.

Havard was incomparably devout amidst the flames. He stretched his hands above his head, and the surging golden flames condensed at an unimaginable speed.

Above his hands formed an extremely resplendent golden crown, inlaid with sixty-four gemstones resembling stars.

The appearance of this thing made Li Yu feel somewhat familiar. A long time ago, Dark Star seemed to have bought a Helmet with a similar appearance.

"Golden Crown!?"

Horus's expression changed slightly, staring intently at the golden crown. This was the Solar Councilor's crown, and even more so, the symbol of his supreme authority.

Nightmare Shield, Golden Crown. Just what secrets does this kid have on him to make The Council willing to pay such a huge price?

...

"Special combat directive: at all costs, keep that Golden Crown here!"

Raymond slammed the Command Console, making the virtual combat sand table blur for a moment.

He didn't expect to actually see this item here!

This was one of the Solar Councilor's most important treasures. Were they really not afraid of losing it here?

...

"You... what exactly did you do?" Horus looked at Li Yu with a complex expression.

The price to pay today would probably be far more than imagined. He hoped the Dimensional Camp would be capable enough, otherwise, whether they could escape from here was still an unknown.

Li Yu shook his head: "Instead of asking me here, it's better to go up and interrupt his spellcasting."

"We can't just watch him release his ultimate move, right?"

"The moment the Golden Crown appeared, it was already too late."

Havard chanted devoutly. Accompanied by his chanting, endless dense golden light poured out from the Golden Crown.

Vaguely behind him, a massive figure comparable to a star formed.

He sat squarely on the Star Throne, milky white spheres of light wreathing around him. The sound of chanting and praise transmitted into everyone's mind through Mental Fluctuations.

Although it was difficult for Councilors to leave the Council Territory, through a medium, they could release their power remotely.

The Golden Crown was the Solar Councilor's medium!

That massive divine phantom slowly lowered its head. From its two star-like pupils shot thick golden Energy Beams, hurtling down towards Horus with unstoppable momentum.

"I'm going to be killed by you!"

Horus's hand rested on Li Yu's shoulder. Accompanied by an eruption of terrifying Strength, Li Yu was directly knocked flying tens of thousands of kilometers, crashing through quite a few battleships along the way.

"Commander!"

Quite a few senior generals also noticed the scene here and couldn't help but cry out in exclamation.

The Golden Crown's attack clearly had a locking effect; Horus didn't flee.

Is he preparing to take it head-on? Raymond frowned deeply. Horus... isn't he going to activate the "Circe's" defenses?

The [Star Shield] mounted on it, even if it couldn't completely block the Golden Crown's attack, could still weaken a large part of its offensive power.

The resplendent Light Beam enveloped Horus, the Energy Level Reaction at its center already incalculable. Battles in other places gradually ceased. The moment deciding the victory or defeat of the entire war had arrived!

Everyone's Attention was focused on that dazzling Light Beam piercing the heavens and earth, as the last glimmer of light fell.

The divine phantom behind Havard also gradually dissipated.

In the dead silent Starry Sky, Horus's figure slowly emerged. Rohan's brows furrowed tightly, and Havard was somewhat in disbelief.

He's actually still alive?

The next moment, Horus's body went limp, and he spat out fresh blood.

His entire body was covered in exquisite black armor, like knight's armor from an ancient era, engraved with complex patterns, but now it was full of cracks.

This was Horus's special Superpower, and also the origin of his title.

"Worthy of being... the Black Knight!" Rohan praised. Havard also breathed a sigh of relief. Although it didn't kill Horus directly, he had also lost the ability to resist.

But right at this moment, Horus abruptly raised his head, his gaze sharp.

"Star Annihilation Cannon, fire!"

In the distance, the Circe Star Fortress slowly rotated. A massive gun barrel extended out, with high-energy magnetic locks every five hundred meters to stabilize the energy track.

Pitch-black Energy surged out. The strongest Main Cannon had already finished charging.

"The reason he didn't use the Circe to defend was to cover up the truth that it was charging..."

Raymond nodded. Horus never conceded defeat. Even in this Desperate Situation, he would make an attempt.

Using himself as bait, secretly preparing the final strike!

The pitch-black Energy Beam seemed to merge with the cosmic background. Like the spear of an Evil God, it shot towards The Council's star fortress.

"Did you think we wouldn't notice?" Havard sneered. The surface of the "Solar Diadem" rapidly lit up, and a honeycomb-like golden energy Shield rose up, then quickly converged, blocking in front of the Star Annihilation Cannon.

"Don't forget about me!" Li Yu shouted explosively. The [Infinity Gauntlet], which he had long been unable to control, erupted with terrifying Purple Light, condensing into a purple fist of light comparable to the size of a star.

Using the [Infinity Gauntlet] for the second time, he was already much more proficient than the first time.

The purple fist of light likewise headed towards the "Solar Diadem".

Havard's expression changed slightly. This was clearly a plan the other party had discussed beforehand.

Interstellar Fortresses could largely dictate the course of a battle. However, neither side used this kind of massive killing weapon right from the start, instead scheming against each other.

If they directly dealt with Li Yu, it would definitely invite a frantic counterattack from Horus.

Horus was the primary target to deal with. They originally wanted Rohan to lure Horus out, and then use the Golden Crown to launch a sneak attack.

But Horus just wouldn't come out, so Havard could only personally make a move to force Horus out.

And exactly because Horus was prepared, the Golden Crown didn't kill him directly.

But Horus also planned a counterattack, using himself as bait to cover up the Circe's charging.

Then let the Star Annihilation Cannon provide an opportunity for the [Infinity Gauntlet].

All the various plans and schemes finally erupted entirely at the last moment.

The unstoppable purple fist of light shot towards the Golden Crown from another side.

"Rohan!" Havard shouted.

"Got it..." Rohan's casual voice sounded, just as the purple Light Beam was about to touch the Interstellar Fortress.

Black Thunder Flashing filled the entire Universe. An archaic bronze Giant Shield emerged from the black Thunder, blocking in front of the Solar Diadem.

At the same time, it also blocked the purple fist of light!

A silent collision blew out continuously expanding energy clusters, ultimately exploding like a Stellar Ring. A massive number of battleships tumbled ceaselessly in the aftermath.

And right at this moment, Li Yu, who had restored to his peak state through [Near-Death Rebirth], slightly curled the corners of his mouth.

Without knowing when, a Golden Scroll appeared in his hand, and it was slowly being torn apart by him!

Come out, [Death Star]!
