Chapter 478: Seizing Gensokyo

Li Yu's words made Codri somewhat baffled, but he didn't prepare to think deeply about it either; the current situation was very unfavorable to him.

The most urgent task was to first expel these guys who were Covetously Staring before saying anything else.

He immediately took out a special Crystal from his Space Compression Device, and then injected Telekinesis.

An invisible Mental Fluctuation swept across this area, simultaneously affecting the multi-colored core deep in space, instantly making it tremble slightly.

Then, the Energy of this world converged, Thunder roared, Fire spewed forth, and the entire world exuded endless malice.

"He has already controlled this Dimensional World. The Dimensional Consciousness can launch attacks against us. This is troublesome."

Horus waved his hand to shatter a large amount of Thunder bombarding them, clearing a blank area in this region of surging Energy.

But clearly it couldn't last too long. The Dimensional Consciousness could regulate the power of the entire world, and fighting a Protracted Battle with a world, no one would have such a foolish thought.

"Damn it!"

He retreated at extreme speed, understanding better than anyone how foolish it was to fight against a Dimensional Consciousness in a controlled Dimensional World.

However, just as he was preparing to leave, he saw Li Yu heading straight for the area of the multi-colored core.

"He still wants this Dimensional World?" Shadow Demon subconsciously found it laughable, but thinking of that Mechanical Lifeform guarding the door outside, he suddenly couldn't laugh.

The "surprises" Li Yu brought were already enough; maybe he really had a way to resist the Dimensional Consciousness.

Thinking of this, Shadow Demon wasn't in a hurry to leave either, and stepped into the ranks of those watching the show again.

"Hmm?" Codri frowned tightly, staring at Li Yu who was not preparing to leave.

He still didn't know what had happened outside. Regarding Li Yu's actions, he could only assume it was unwillingness.

"Your Excellency Li Yu, the dust has settled. Why force it anymore?" Codri spoke out. Unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to make a move against Li Yu.

He still needed to be wary of the influence of that mysterious Other-Dimensional Camp.

Li Yu turned a deaf ear and continued forward. Codri was also somewhat displeased. Giving you face is because of the faction behind you.

Do you really consider yourself some big shot? Not even an A3-tier lifeform.

Codri snorted coldly, manipulating the Crystal in his hand to influence The Overlord's Spiritual Body.

He wasn't preparing to obliterate Li Yu, but also wanted to make him suffer a bit.

However, along with his surging Telekinesis, something that shocked him happened. Even though various Energies intertwined in the surrounding space, erupting with unimaginable destructive power.

But on both sides of Li Yu, it was still calm and tranquil, without any Energy able to approach him.

"Is this some kind of force field?" Codri was somewhat shocked, but along with the surging of Telekinesis, he didn't feel any force field.

Horus was also somewhat shocked, but then reacted, approaching Li Yu to avoid being attacked by Codri.

"What exactly is going on!?"

Codri couldn't hide his astonishment, constantly interfering with The Overlord's Spiritual Body through the Crystal in his hand.

However, it could only force the surrounding Indigenous Lifeforms and Shadow Demon further away. As for Li Yu, he still didn't suffer any Disruption.

"...It's, The Overlord!?"

Codri finally realized, it was The Overlord itself that was unwilling to act against Li Yu.

He hadn't completely controlled The Overlord; it was just through the Salvation Ark's long-term research on The Overlord over the years.

And then through external power stimulation, to achieve a situation similar to "control".

But the current situation was, The Overlord was unwilling to attack Li Yu.

"How could this be!?"

Codri was thoroughly panicked. What he panicked about wasn't that Gensokyo might be snatched by Li Yu, but The Overlord's special situation.

This situation had never happened during the long years Salvation Ark had controlled The Overlord. This was the first time it happened.

Codri temporarily didn't know what this meant, but for the Salvation Ark, it definitely wasn't good news.

Li Yu's footsteps were firm as he headed towards the multi-colored core deep in space. He really had to thank Codri.

If not for a portion of The Overlord's Spiritual Body having a deep fusion with the Dimensional Consciousness, it would probably be impossible for him to approach the Dimensional Consciousness so easily.

But he and The Overlord had an inseparable relationship, how could The Overlord possibly attack him.

What happened?

Codri's inner emotions were complex, while Shadow Demon was somewhat dumbfounded.

What is that Codri doing? Why isn't he stopping Li Yu, is he sick?

He was somewhat puzzled, a speculation emerging in his mind. Could it be that there's a problem with the Dimensional Consciousness?

He tentatively approached the deeper space, and then was blasted back by the surging Energy, head full of black lines, somewhat Speechless.

Why is it Tailor to Customer? How come there's no problem when that guy approaches?

Under the witness of one with flying thoughts, one incomparably bewildered, and a large number of dubbed Indigenous Lifeforms.

Li Yu had already approached the multi-colored core. He looked at the dazzling core; this was formed by the fusion of the Dimensional Consciousness and a portion of The Overlord's Spiritual Body.

Although The Overlord wouldn't attack him, just this wasn't enough for him to control this Dimensional World.

After all, the Salvation Ark equally had the ability to influence this thing.

Subsequently, Li Yu took out a metallic USB Drive from the System Space.

[Special Item––Blank USB Drive: Can upload the programs within it into any object.]

"What is that thing?" Shadow Demon concentrated his attention. Although judging from the current situation, Gensokyo basically had nothing to do with him anymore.

But if he could catch a glimpse of some of the Other-Dimensional Camp's methods, it would be considered a harvest.

It was just that looking at that USB Drive, he fell into a state of bewilderment again.

What is he doing with a USB Drive, seeding?

F*, he plugged it in!?

Shadow Demon's pupils contracted, watching helplessly as that USB Drive was plugged into the multi-colored core.

However, the multi-colored core abruptly began to tremble, as if unable to bear it, and the surrounding turbulent energy streams also gradually calmed down.

Although the multi-colored core looked like a physical object, it was actually just a projection of the Dimensional Consciousness.

But Shadow Demon never expected that that USB Drive could actually be plugged in.

He didn't react for a long time. He didn't even know how to report this to the other High Echelons.

How was Gensokyo lost?

A USB Drive was plugged into the Dimensional Consciousness, and the other party might have uploaded some kind of virus, causing the Dimensional Consciousness to crash?

F* his mother, if someone else reported to him like this, he would have slapped a Shadow Sneak Attack on their face long ago.

The one feeling even worse than him was Codri. Obviously, Gensokyo was already pinched in his hand, but now he could only watch helplessly as Li Yu groped all over it, seeing that it was about to become Li Yu's shape.

And the bad news wasn't just this one. Why wouldn't The Overlord attack Li Yu? This made him worry even more than losing Gensokyo.

Horus watched all this from close range, complex emotions flickering in his eyes.

Hmm... already used to it, no need to be surprised, what's a USB Drive plugged into a Dimensional Consciousness, it's nothing...

And Li Yu stared at the micro-display on the [Blank USB Drive], where there was a clear scale – 0%.

He had to load Claptrap into the [Blank USB Drive] first, and then upload it into the Dimensional Consciousness using the [Blank USB Drive], but this process obviously required some time.

Shadow Demon's expression flickered. Although Li Yu's methods were outrageous, it clearly would also take some time to succeed.

During this time, the Dimensional Consciousness should be in an unusable state, perhaps... he still had a chance.

Just as this thought emerged in his mind, he saw Li Yu spinning a metal Revolver Handgun in his hand, his gaze wandering over him and Codri, seemingly looking for a suitable target.

Shadow Demon's heart abruptly contracted, almost forgetting he still had this Weapon.

With the help of this Rule-Level Weapon, and the presence of Horus, even if he and Codri joined forces, they might not gain any advantage, and there was also the risk of death.

Shadow Demon's little thoughts that were just stirring were instantly dispelled, and he looked at Codri.

Codri's expression was gloomy. Although he was hit hard by the unexpected events occurring one after another, the most urgent task now was to preserve his life.

And then report The Overlord's special situation to the organization; this was crucial.

Sensing Shadow Demon's gaze, his face darkened again.

Because under the current circumstances, the two had to join forces to safely leave here.

Otherwise, it was highly likely they would be killed separately by Li Yu and Horus.

He didn't want to test whether his organization's Ark System was still effective under the attack of a Rule-Level Weapon.

So now he had to Pinch his Nose and cooperate with Shadow Demon, who had just sneak-attacked him, making his mood even more displeased.

The two established a brief wartime alliance through eye contact.

"You two are quite decisive..." Li Yu naturally also noticed their Ambiguous state.

It was just that he didn't have the thought of taking action himself; after all, the Gun in his hand was just a bluff.

Horus's gaze swept over the two, remaining silent.

"Your Excellency's actions today, when the dust settles on the war, will definitely shock the entire Interstellar," Shadow Demon's tone was profound:

"The Other-Dimensional Camp will probably surface as well. The Abyss looks forward to future exchanges."

Since this Other-Dimensional Camp had been silent for so long without appearing in the Interstellar.

Now suddenly throwing out a deep-water Bomb like Li Yu, there must be a deep meaning behind it.

According to the Abyss's speculation, Li Yu was just a Pawn placed at the forefront by the Other-Dimensional Camp.

Merely used to attract the Interstellar's attention, thereby hiding their true purpose.

And the events happening in No Man's Land were enough to focus the gaze of the entire Interstellar on Li Yu; the Other-Dimensional Camp should also begin to act.

Li Yu was Noncommittal, watching Shadow Demon open the Dimensional Ring and cautiously evacuate from here with Codri.

"We shouldn't have let them leave so early; they'll probably expose the situation here," Horus finally spoke up.

Li Yu shook his head and put away the Revolver Handgun. This thing was only used to bluff; the longer it was delayed, the easier it was for flaws to appear.

In case that Old Fox Codri discovered some clues, it would be difficult to handle.

"How long does this thing need?" Horus glanced at the USB Drive plugged into the multi-colored core, the sense of disharmony between the two making his eyes twitch slightly.

"I don't know, it'll probably take some time." Li Yu frowned slightly.

During this time, he and Horus probably couldn't leave easily. They needed to be vigilant against Shadow Demon and Codri, who might return, as well as the Grumbling Indigenous Lifeforms all around.

Then they would be completely ignorant of the direction of the war outside.

Due to the existence of the Dimensional Wall, it was also difficult for them to receive information from the outside world; they could be said to be Completely in the Dark.

They could only figure out ways to detect information using other methods.

Although Li Yu didn't care about the outcome of the war, the Death Star was still outside.

Although with the Death Star's Strength, it should be able to handle unexpected situations, but the Star Glory Empire and the Reformers shouldn't be underestimated.

No matter which of these two parties won the war, they wouldn't give up Gensokyo, which was close at hand.

Moreover, there was also the Grand Duke of Blood, whose hiding place on the battlefield was unknown. That was a former Councilor.

Li Yu wasn't too clear about the Councilor's Strength, but it definitely wouldn't be weaker than the Death Star.

Even if the Grand Duke of Blood wasn't doing too well right now, he was still a huge threat.

A day passed in the blink of an eye. The surrounding Indigenous Lifeforms had been Grumbling and discussing something all around.

However, due to Horus's deterrence, they didn't dare to step forward at all, and could only hide in the distance pointing fingers at this place.

And the Smart Terminal had been parsing based on phonetic root words; it shouldn't take too long to figure out what these Natives were saying.

High probability it was cursing people.

"Those two guys are really cautious."

Some shadows appeared in the distance and gradually faded away again.

………

The battle outside had fallen into a stalemate. The Golden Lion Legion and the Rebel Legion clashed head-on, High Echelon lifeforms engaged in close combat, and terrifying Energy Fluctuations frequently exploded in the battlefield.

Hundreds of interconnected Spatial Distortion Zones instantly appeared around the Rebel Legion's positions.

These distorted spatial zones were composed of a series of small distortion vortexes, causing immense interference to the warships' Shields.

And after a brief delay, a torrential Energy Torrent and massive warheads began to bombard the Rebel Legion's warships.

"The Old Ones and the Abyss both rejected our request for support." The Commander's expression was ugly as she closed the micro Holographic Screen.

"As expected..." Husband's projection said: "The purposes of our three parties have all been achieved. The cooperation is over; now is the time for each to harvest the fruits of battle."

"They won't take the risk to fight the Star Glory Empire."

Alexander snorted coldly, watching the battle on the screen, but didn't say anything.
