Chapter 470: Apostle Squad, General Attack!
The battle between Horus and Adams clearly made him bear a considerable cost. His body was covered with crimson cracks, and dried flesh and blood could faintly be seen beneath the surface of his skin.
Wisps of blood oozed from them, and before touching the Interstellar space, they were burned into blood-colored steam by the high temperature on the surface of the wounds.
From an imposing Aura to vomiting blood, only a few minutes had passed. The several factions focusing their attention here hadn't even reacted yet, all still somewhat dumbfounded.
This Crazy Bastard was just acting so awesome, how did he suddenly vomit blood?
Codri, however, had some guesses. He retracted his gaze from the Nightmare faction's area.
That battlefield had already become a mess, with metal fragments of warships scattered everywhere, and the other party's leader——Adams had disappeared.
His attention wasn't placed there just now, so whether Adams was beaten to death by Horus or fled seriously injured, he wasn't too clear.
However, looking at the red cracks on Horus's body, his eyes flickered.
"That Aura just now almost returned to its peak state, it should be the side effect caused by using that vial of Potion."
"That vial of Potion is nothing more than forcefully squeezing the potential in the Cells, making him temporarily return to his peak state."
"Looking at it this way, the life technology of the Dimensional Camp should still be somewhat inferior to ours."
Codri's expression was slightly reassured. After all, from the information gathered previously, this mysterious and unpredictable Dimensional Camp had almost no shortcomings.
Now, regarding this vial of Potion, he had found the pride belonging to the Salvation Ark.
After all, the Ark System was still the lifeform recovery system that stood above the entire Interstellar.
Reinhardt's mood was like a roller coaster going up and down.
Originally seeing Horus return, he was already preparing to evacuate, but Horus's condition suddenly hit rock bottom.
This gave him some thoughts he shouldn't have.
He was now like a drowning person, or a gambler who had lost his mind at the gambling table, seeing a life-saving straw appearing before him, even knowing it might be an illusion, he still wanted to risk his life for it.
However, just as his thoughts were turning and he had once again made up his mind, a familiar powerful Aura burst forth from Horus once again.
He saw the red cracks on Horus's body begin to repair rapidly.
In just the blink of an eye, the originally near-death injuries were mostly recovered.
A sharp light shot from Horus's eyes, staring intently at Reinhardt not far away, seeming ready to launch an attack at any moment.
How did he recover so quickly?
What the fuck did you eat!?
Reinhardt's mentality exploded. The resolve he finally made wavered once again. The series of events constantly impacted his fragile heart.
This Universe seemed to have become unfamiliar.
But beneath this ferocity, Horus was also somewhat apprehensive.
This feeling of rapidly recovering from injuries was simply too familiar, exactly the same as when he used that vial of Potion just now.
"Are you sure this vial of Potion has no side effects? Under the current circumstances, if something goes wrong with me again, you will also be in a lot of trouble." Horus asked calmly in the channel.
No one could remain calm in the face of a Life-and-Death Crisis, and Horus was no exception.
"No side effects. This is the highest crystallization of our Camp's life technology. I only have one vial on me, so don't worry."
Li Yu also couldn't count how many lies were in the sentence he casually spoke, anyway, no one could verify it.
"Another vial? Not afraid of squeezing Horus dry?" Codri looked somewhat surprised at Horus, whose Aura had almost recovered to its peak again.
Even a high-tier lifeform couldn't withstand repeatedly squeezing their life potential. Moreover, Horus's previous injuries hadn't recovered yet. If the side effects backfired again, he might die on the spot.
"This kid is really bold..." Codri's expression flickered.
Deducing from this, the use of that Rule-Level Weapon indeed had significant restrictions, otherwise Li Yu couldn't possibly use Horus's life as insurance.
Horus's Status in Return Star was not low. If he really Died here, Return Star would probably be furious and Fight to the death with the instigator.
Of course... the premise was that Return Star could survive this crisis.
"Your Excellency Reinhardt, do you still want to continue?" Although Horus maintained an attitude of half-believing and half-doubting.
But now was obviously not the time to investigate. Even if there were side effects, it was a matter for later.
Right now, the first priority was to drive Reinhardt away from here.
Reinhardt's face was stiff, stalemated for another moment, seeing that Horus's Aura didn't show the slightest sign of decline, he could only temporarily evacuate.
"Where's Codri?"
Only after Reinhardt led his people away did Horus inquire.
"Codri is peeking from who knows where, you ran at a really good time." Li Yu said snappily.
"Old enemy, couldn't ignore it." Horus's eyes were slightly cold, speaking in a deep voice.
"Slaughtered him?" Li Yu asked.
Hearing this, Horus's expression became somewhat unsightly, shaking his head and saying: "He got away."
His emotions were somewhat complex: "I didn't expect him to already be a Fourth Gene Evolution Body, his Strength has greatly increased, no wonder he chose to betray."
Li Yu shrugged and didn't pursue the matter further. It was nothing more than a Melodramatic story of betrayal, no need to ask.
"What Weapon... did you just use."
At this time, Horus's tone suddenly became exceptionally shocked.
His combat location was relatively far from here, and when fighting an enemy of the same tier, it was difficult to distract his attention.
Therefore, he temporarily didn't know what had happened here.
He had just synchronized with the Black Pupil Fleet, and only through the battle Recording did he learn about the situation that just occurred.
"That's a Rule-Level Weapon? A Titan Artifact!?" His tone was extremely shocked, not expecting to see a Weapon of this level on Li Yu.
"Titan Artifact? Rule-Level?" Hearing these two terms, Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
Through the names, it was easy to deduce the connection between the two.
Previously, although he knew of the existence of Titan Artifacts, he didn't have a very detailed understanding of the difference between Titan Artifacts and Titan Magic Weapons.
And now, through Horus's words, he had a slight guess.
The reason why Titan Artifacts were powerful and precious was probably because they involved the alteration of Rules, no longer Weapons in the ordinary sense.
Li Yu revealed a thoughtful expression, while Horus, after the initial shock, shook his head and said: "You shouldn't have used that kind of Weapon here."
"Although Rule-Level Weapons can use Rules as attack methods, they also have various constraints. Through your use just now, the top factions can completely analyze part of the data; the loss outweighs the gain."
Li Yu didn't really care, let them analyze whatever they want, that Weapon is unlikely to appear a second time in this lifetime.
"And most crucially, you've become the focus again." Horus's tone was solemn:
"The importance of Rule-Level Weapons is absolutely not inferior to Gensokyo. The Star Glory Empire has probably already marked you as a key target. Next... you have to be careful."
Hearing this, Li Yu also felt somewhat helpless. He didn't want to use it either, but Horus saw his old enemy and turned Red Eye, disregarding everything.
Codri was Harboring Ulterior Motives, hiding in the dark peeking, absolutely not intending to act, just wanting to see his or the Dimensional Camp's methods.
Reinhardt's threat was imminent, he could only take strong action.
While the two were talking, the Interstellar battle situation changed again. From the Star Glory Empire's two Legions, a large number of Mechanical Bodies suddenly flew out.
They had massive metal wings on their backs, equipped with various advanced Weapons, crisscrossing the battlefield, every strike bringing powerful destructive force.
"These are... [Apostles]!?" Li Yu looked at those Mechanical Bodies crisscrossing the battlefield.
He couldn't be more familiar with those things, after all, he had one in his hands right now, only the [Apostles] appearing on the battlefield were far more powerful than the one he possessed.
Every single one was at least a [Four-Winged Apostle], and there were even a few [Six-Winged Apostles].
"This is why it's said that the Star Glory Empire is built on the corpse of the Titan Civilization." A familiar voice joined the channel, it was Codri who had disappeared just in time.
"This number of [Apostles] is already extremely terrifying, but this is only the conventional equipment of the two Legions."
Factions like Return Star and Salvation Ark, although they also had quite a few Apostles accumulated over a long time, hadn't reached the point where they could casually equip two Legions.
This was enough to say exactly how much of the Titan Civilization's wealth the Star Glory Empire had obtained.
"Your Excellency Codri appeared right on time." Li Yu mocked ambiguously. Who knows when, a Revolver Handgun was spinning on his fingertip.
A little cold sweat appeared on Codri's forehead, explaining awkwardly: "Just now seeing Your Excellency Li Yu in danger, I was also very worried, but being besieged by numerous enemies, I really couldn't get away."
"Fortunately, Your Excellency Horus appeared in time."
Speaking of this, he even glanced at Horus. When will the side effects act up?
Maybe by then he could absorb Horus into the Salvation Ark.
"Hehe..." Li Yu sneered twice, Noncommittal.
Piercing Fire entered the peripheral vision of the three. The Crimson Holy Fire fleet was breached, several [Four-Winged Apostles] charged in, wreaking havoc on the warships.
And Crimson Holy Fire's high-tier lifeforms were quite far from here, and were currently entangled with enemies. If they forcefully redeployed back now, the loss would probably outweigh the gain.
Iroha looked anxious, scanned the combat platform, and found that the high-tier forces available for dispatch were almost non-existent. If conventional warships got into close quarters with high-tier individuals, it would be Slicing Melons and Vegetables.
Now he could only personally deal with these [Four-Winged Apostles].
"Warning, edge Defense Line breached, please handle it in time."
The Black Pupil Fleet had already been integrated into Crimson Holy Fire's temporary Command System, and the warning sound rang in everyone's ears at the same time.
Li Yu glanced at the advancing range of those [Four-Winged Apostles]. Coincidentally, the Black Pupil Fleet was exactly in their attack target path.
It was unknown whether it was a coincidence or deliberately done by the commander behind the scenes.
Iroha was fully dressed in Armor, the crimson Armor covered in battle scars, this was proof of his Strength and a symbol of glory.
Also... strong evidence of having no money. If you had money to replace the Armor, who would wear a broken one.
Although the Command System wasn't paralyzed without him, once he appeared on the frontal battlefield, he would definitely receive key attention from the Star Glory Empire.
Perhaps this was also the Star Glory Empire's goal, making it impossible for these commanders to sit safely in the Interstellar Fortress.
However, right at this time, several massive Mechanical Lifeforms darted out from the Black Pupil Fleet, like veterans who had experienced many battles, quickly finding their own opponents.
Giant mechanical fists collided, Electric Arc sparks shot out, Plasma Cannons exploded at close range, several-thousand-meter long mechanical Long Spears swept across.
This was a picture of Technology, Transformers battling Apostles.
Iroha, who was about to act, was slightly stunned, quickly distinguishing that these Mechanical Lifeforms came from the Black Pupil Fleet.
He didn't expect Li Yu to help out. After all, when Li Yu faced danger earlier, he had chosen to Stand Idly By.
Iroha's expression was mixed with emotion: "My perspective was too narrow, truly worthy of being Your Excellency Husband's Friend, as noble as his character."
………
"Catch these [Apostles], then go shear some wool from Meditation to Enlighten into Transformers. Then I can use the staff to enhance my Twelve Golden Immortals."
Li Yu pondered secretly. The combat power of the Twelve Golden Immortals was still too weak, three or four could only barely match one [Four-Winged Apostle].
The Combat Power Level of these [Four-Winged Apostles] should be in the millions.
According to Li Yu's observation, the Combat Power Level of these [Apostles] fluctuated greatly, which should have a lot to do with the manipulators inside.
………
"...We can't continue to delay like this. The many factions present haven't used their full Strength. With the [Apostles] joining the battlefield, we don't have enough power to intercept them..."
In the communication channel inside the Resistance Organization United Fleet, Iroha spoke in a deep voice.
"...Launch a general attack directly, break through the Legions' defenses, and drag those spectating factions completely into the fray..." Another commander said.
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
