Chapter 450: Enlightening the [Death Star]

After going through numerous difficulties and obstacles, Siegel finally arrived at the No Man's Land again and would soon be able to converge with Li Yu.

Upon learning this news, Li Yu was so excited that he cast Codri to the back of his mind.

After all, Siegel was related to the issue of Enlightening the [Death Star], as well as the power of Unicron within the recently obtained [Quintessa's Life Scepter].

Li Yu was extremely looking forward to this. As for Codri...

Who is that?

Don't know him well.

Looking at Li Yu, whose excitement was overflowing in his words and expressions, Codri was very curious about what news Li Yu had learned.

His eyes kept glancing at Li Yu's Smart Terminal, but due to the angle, he couldn't see anything and felt somewhat resentful.

Afterward, Codri didn't leave, but prepared to act together with the Black Pupil Fleet so they could look out for each other.

Another part of the reason was also the fear that Li Yu wouldn't tell him some news, causing him to lose the initiative.

Li Yu didn't care about this. If he wanted to tag along, then let him tag along. When the time came, there would be two more Cannon Fodder to use.

Half a day later, a pitch-black small Spaceship approached the Black Pupil Fleet. After passing through layers of verification, the fleet opened a path for him, directly connecting to the central Main Ship.

"Haha... my Friend, you've finally returned," Li Yu laughed loudly and welcomed him.

Siegel, who hid in the shadows all year round, was obviously somewhat at a loss regarding Li Yu's enthusiasm. He silently took two steps back, dodging his embrace.

At the same time, he hid the Black Blade behind him, afraid that the Weapon would fly away.

The corners of Li Yu's mouth twitched slightly, pretending to turn a blind eye to his small actions.

"Thanks for the hard work along the way." Since the embrace failed, Li Yu patted his shoulder instead.

Siegel nodded silently, then took out a Space Compression Device from his pocket, concise and comprehensive: "Everything is inside."

Li Yu immediately took it over. After confirming that it contained exactly five Artificial Gods, his smile widened, and he praised:

"As expected of a legendary Assassin, the work efficiency is just fast. How much time has passed, and you've already gotten five."

Siegel shook his head, already immune to this kind of praise. He wanted to confirm the ownership issue of the Black Blade more.

How could one Weapon serve two masters!

However, just as he was preparing to speak, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he abruptly turned his head to look at the corner of the Metal Corridor.

He sensed an extremely powerful lifeform slowly approaching.

Li Yu noticed his reaction and also turned to look, only to see Horus walking out from the corner, still with his signature Poker Face.

"This is?" Horus's gaze remained fixed on Siegel.

He was also in this Main Ship, and naturally noticed Li Yu rushing over to receive a certain figure.

He thought it was someone from the Dimensional Camp and was preparing to put on an act of an accidental encounter. But upon seeing the other party, he dismissed this idea.

Because the other party wasn't too strong. A person who could make Li Yu "receive" them should far exceed this life tier.

"Legendary Assassin - Siegel!" Li Yu introduced calmly. There was nothing to hide. After all, he didn't send Siegel to assassinate the Gui Xing High Command previously, so there was no need to keep it a secret.

It's him... Horus's expression changed slightly. The deterrence of an Assassin was never on the frontal battlefield.

Taking Returning Star as an example, many Star System Governors weren't advanced lifeforms. With Siegel's abilities, he had the capability to massacre back and forth.

However, doing that would basically declare a Fight to the death with Returning Star. Without being hired, Siegel wouldn't do such business.

And there was basically no faction that would do such a thankless task.

Killing a few Star System Governors was completely useless. A new one could be selected within half a day.

Moreover, Returning Star could also respond with the same methods. The loss outweighed the gain.

"This is Horus..." Before Li Yu could finish introducing, Siegel said: "I know him."

"Many factions are offering a Bounty for him, with a very high value."

Horus looked indifferent: "Then that is my honor."

Is Siegel also a person of the Dimensional Camp? According to previous information, wasn't this person inextricably linked to the Black Hole organization?

Glancing at the information the Smart Terminal had just searched, many speculations flashed through his mind, but none were shown.

.........

"You mean a small Spaceship stealthily docked with the Main Ship?"

Codri listened to his Subordinate's report. This was an A-Tier Lifeform under him, whose eyes had undergone mutation, not only capable of shooting laser Light Beams but also possessing partial X-ray vision to see through some objects.

He told this Subordinate to carefully monitor the movements of the Black Pupil Fleet's Main Ship and report any rustle of leaves in the wind to him.

"Yes, that person's life tier is very high, and he was personally received by Li Yu. He should be very important," the Subordinate added.

"However, Li Yu has now gone to the Starry Sky alone and ordered the entire Black Pupil Fleet to temporarily stop advancing."

Codri's expression flickered. Although the two had reached a Verbal Cooperation, it was completely impossible to talk about complete trust.

This person should be related to the excitement he revealed earlier. Exactly what kind of news was it?

He was guessing, right at this moment, the Subordinate next to him seemed to have seen something unbelievable, pointing at the bulkhead and stammering: "Lord... outside..."

Codri frowned. Outside? What outside?

Before he could speak, the Subordinate brought up the Holographic Screen. His expression condensed slightly, only to see a huge grey-white Interstellar Fortress slowly floating In interstellar space.

"An Interstellar Fortress scared you like this?" Codri reprimanded his Little Brother, very dissatisfied.

"No, Lord Codri..." That Little Brother shook his head. His two pupils were like transparent Crystals, his palms gesturing in mid-air as if pulling something out.

"Just now, Li Yu made this gesture at that place, and then... an Interstellar Fortress suddenly appeared in front of him."

"There were no omens whatsoever, nor did the Starry Sky distort. It just appeared like this, as if he pulled it out from the Void."

Hearing this, Codri frowned tightly and had his Subordinate bring up the spatial wave spectrum of that period just now. Sure enough, there were no fluctuations at all.

What kind of method is this?

.........

In the Starry Sky, Li Yu stood on the [Death Star]. This Interstellar Fortress, the [Death Star], was no longer a secret to the outside world.

So even if he released it here, it would have no impact, and he wasn't afraid of being known by others.

And at this moment, five huge Artificial God Statues stood around him, while he held a resplendent Crystal in his left hand -- [Faith Reserve Crystal S1].

His right hand covered the Surface of the [Death Star]. He took a deep breath, and his palm exerted force abruptly.

Golden Allspark Runes surged continuously from his palm and spread in all directions.

Like a tide of Runes, in the blink of an eye, it covered a huge area. Wherever it passed, an azure Sea of Electric Arcs was stirred up, as if indelible marks were stamped on the artificial alloy.

However, with Li Yu's own Faith reserves, it couldn't support him to persist for too long. Subsequently, five milky-white tassels were drawn out from the Artificial God Statues.

The originally dim Allspark Runes became resplendent again and expanded their boundaries at an extremely fast speed.

Horus floated in the Void, quietly watching.

With such a huge commotion, it was impossible to avoid others.

Unless Li Yu was willing to detach from the main force himself and find a Secluded spot. But that would waste too much time and might face unknown risks.

Now the situation in the No Man's Land was treacherous. Who knows, a few burly men might pop out from somewhere, and the loss would outweigh the gain.

Even if Horus and the others saw it, it didn't matter. Anyway, they wouldn't be enemies for the time being, and it wouldn't cause any major problems.

"What is he doing?" Siegel's curiosity wasn't strong, but he still paid relatively close attention to Li Yu, the person who controlled his wife... no... Weapon.

At the same time, harboring a rather evil thought: It would be great if this person died early.

Then his wife would not only have a new form but also wouldn't have a second master.

Unfortunately, based on the current situation, this goal seemed very hard to realize.

"I don't know." Horus shook his head, but the glimmer flickering in his eyes didn't agree with his words.

He had seen that kind of Rune. In the Recording of the Amethyst battle, it was exactly that kind of special Rune that infected a large number of warships.

And turned them into special Mechanical Lifeforms, playing a significant role in that great battle.

Returning Star had once deeply analyzed that special Rune and was even quite envious.

Because the warships transformed into Mechanical Lifeforms not only had their combat power slightly increased, but also became a single entity of life, instead of only being able to be used to fire Energy Cannons or activate Shield defenses.

Moreover, according to the combat data at that time, the power of dead Mechanical Lifeforms would be transferred to other Mechanical Lifeforms, ultimately creating twelve mechanical creations comparable to A-Tier Lifeforms.

For a top-tier civilization with abundant resources, this was simply tailor-made.

Unfortunately, after a long period of research, they Gained Nothing.

Returning Star believed it was a Technology from the Council, but there was no substantive evidence to prove it.

And now, was Li Yu planning to transform the entire [Death Star] into that kind of Mechanical Lifeform?

But is this meaningful?

The combat power of a mechanical fortress doesn't solely come from its massive size, but the massive amount of weapons carried by that massive size.

Its main body isn't overly sturdy. If it becomes a Mechanical Lifeform, it will instead amplify this weakness.

However, using this kind of Rune obviously couldn't be without any cost.

He also noticed those five huge Artificial God Statues.

The instant he knew Siegel's Identity, he had his Smart Terminal search for news about Siegel.

Knowing that the other party had been targeting Meditation recently, he could instantly confirm that those were Artificial God Statues.

"Using Faith as an energy source? Is that a Divine Art?" Horus made a reasonable guess, and then another thought surfaced: "And who is the Divine Spirit behind this Divine Art?"

Divine Arts are developed by Deities. Since such a Divine Art exists, there must be a corresponding Divine Spirit.

However, even after searching his mind, Horus couldn't find any useful clues.

Because Li Yu didn't hide anything, Codri was also observing secretly.

The combat Recording of the Amethyst battle wasn't a secret in the Black Hole Network. One could buy a copy for a few hundred Star Coins.

Salvation Ark, as a major participant, naturally had more detailed information.

He reached a similar conclusion to Horus, and also knew that Li Yu was transforming this Interstellar Fortress into a Mechanical Lifeform.

However, he wasn't worried about the combat power of the Interstellar Fortress after it transformed into a Mechanical Lifeform.

Salvation Ark had deeply researched the combat power of those Mechanical Lifeforms.

Although after a warship became a Mechanical Lifeform, due to the different combat methods, commands were no longer issued from the command cabin.

Instead, they acted like normal life, so the combat power would increase slightly. However, the measure of combat power still came from its own manufacturing materials and weapons.

Even if this Interstellar Fortress became a Mechanical Lifeform, due to the fragility of the manufacturing materials, its combat power wasn't as formidable as imagined.

At most, it would just be a flashy prop that looked formidable. If the core Main Cannon couldn't hit anyone, it was useless.

Unless there was a massive number of Mechanical Lifeforms to strengthen it, only then could it barely reach the standard of A-rank materials.

However, if one wanted to strengthen the entire Interstellar Fortress, the number of warships required would probably reach nearly a million.

"It doesn't have much meaning..." Codri shook his head and didn't take the matter to heart too much.

Instead, he paid more attention to the Technology behind the sudden appearance of the Interstellar Fortress.

Not much time passed before the Faith of the five Artificial Gods was completely drained, while the entire [Death Star] was only less than half complete.

If he stopped now, this [Death Star] would basically be ruined.

However, Li Yu still had the [Faith Reserve Crystal S]. Accompanied by pure Power of Faith being extracted.

Li Yu's eyes shone with golden light. Deep within his pupils, it seemed there were Allspark Runes rising and falling, and a continuous stream of Golden Runes flowed out from his body.

Endlessly far from this place, in the Hengfeng System, numerous Believers seemed to sense something and looked up at the azure sky with pious expressions.

Deep within the [Death Star], the thick energy supply channels trembled continuously, and a large number of complex patterns surfaced on them.

The lights of the intelligent server group flickered, as if it were the nerves, blood vessels, and meridians of a huge lifeform, gradually giving birth to a Life Aura.

The entire [Death Star] permeated a majestic feeling, making people have an irresistible urge to worship it, like a stalwart god standing tall in the Starry Sky.
