Chapter 482: Greedy Li Yu

Within Gensokyo, Li Yu stared at the progress bar on the [Blank USB Drive]. After a long upload period, the progress bar finally filled up.

The [Blank USB Drive] turned into a streak of Flowing Light and completely merged into the Dimensional Consciousness Core before him.

At the same time, Li Yu could clearly feel that this Dimensional World was shaking, as if undergoing some kind of transformation from the inside out.

"Master..."

A voice like Thunder echoed from The Void, causing the surrounding Indigenous Lifeforms to prostrate themselves in The Void, bowing towards the firmament.

"Great Lord of All Things, please display your divine power and clear away the evil people before you."

"..."

After this period of analysis, the Smart Terminal had already parsed the language of the Indigenous Lifeforms, and translated their words into an interstellar language Li Yu could understand.

In fact, as long as it wasn't a language containing some kind of power, parsing it basically didn't take much time.

It was just that they clearly couldn't imagine that the Dimensional Consciousness had now taken Li Yu's shape.

"Claptrap?" Li Yu asked tentatively.

"It's me, Master."

At the same time his voice faded, the surrounding air emitted crackling popping sounds as if electrified, and a large number of crystal-clear tiny light particles converged from all directions.

In less than a second, a mottled yellow, inverted-triangle Unicycle Robot appeared at Li Yu's feet.

Claptrap's form of existence was no longer just a Sentient AI. Under the effect of the [Blank USB Drive], it had deeply fused with the Dimensional Consciousness.

Normally, such a Spiritual Body would have broken free from all control, and any methods would be hard-pressed to bind it.

However, due to the mysterious bond from the System, no matter what form of existence Claptrap assumed, it could not break free from its loyalty to Li Yu.

Patting Claptrap's familiar broken head, Li Yu looked around. The originally shattered space was gradually repairing itself, the Earth seemed boundless, and the lush forest extended far away.

"Are you the ruler of this world now?" Li Yu asked.

"Yes, Master. I possess absolute control over this world." Claptrap responded, and with a casual wave, transported the Grumbling Indigenous Lifeforms before them to another location.

"Then you are invincible in this world?" Li Yu was quite interested in this and probed further.

Claptrap pondered for a moment and explained: "In a conventional sense, yes, but the Energy of this world is limited. If someone opposes this world, then I am no match for them either."

"Moreover, the attack power of this world itself is also limited. A powerful enemy is like a reef in the sea; I would also be helpless against them."

Claptrap gave a general explanation, which matched Li Yu's estimates. As a Sentient AI, it possessed its own rigor.

But Li Yu knew that no one would easily barge into a Dimensional World where the Dimensional Consciousness was controlled; that represented a huge trouble.

However, this finally meant he had an indestructible fortress, and one that could move at any time; it was simply perfect.

When the time came, he could completely plan out a large area for an experimental Base, cultivate a large number of Believers, and squeeze Peyton for all he was worth; it would be simply delightful.

Thinking of this, he inexplicably felt a desire to close his doors and farm; perhaps some instinct etched into his soul had awakened.

"Master, there are several very special places in this world, enveloped in peculiar force fields. Even I have difficulty investigating them..." Claptrap reported again.

"Oh?" Li Yu was slightly surprised, and after a little thought, he guessed it was highly likely left behind by the Titan Civilization.

After all, this Dimensional World was the product of the Titan Civilization; perhaps their legacy was inside.

Thinking of this, he was also somewhat excited; after all, the Titan Civilization was the universally recognized "grandpa".

Whoever could obtain the Titan Civilization's treasure, without external interference, could basically rise and leave their name in the Interstellar.

It was just that the most urgent issue to handle right now was not this.

From the Spatial Rift torn open by the Death Star, powerful Residual Energy occasionally surged in, indicating that a battle was taking place outside.

Since the entire battlefield had been cleared, the Little Brothers Li Yu had left behind couldn't act as observers either.

It could be said that he was currently Completely in the Dark regarding the outside world.

But even so, through the rift, he could guess that a large-scale battle was occurring outside.

Otherwise, under the Death Star's watch, it would be impossible for any Residual Energy to rush into the Spatial Rift.

"Claptrap, can you repair this Spatial Rift?" Li Yu asked.

Claptrap responded: "Yes. This Dimensional World is already self-repairing; I can mobilize power to accelerate this process."

"The Star Glory Empire's lockdown is still in effect; I'm afraid we'll have a hard time leaving here for the time being." Horus appeared slightly worried, not feeling happy that Li Yu had obtained Gensokyo.

Because as long as they didn't leave here, the Star Glory Empire had methods to snatch it back.

"Leave?" Li Yu's tone carried an unknown meaning, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Claptrap, open a passage first; I want to go out and take a look." Li Yu instructed.

"Yes..."

………

Meanwhile, outside, raging energy torrents surged. The Death Star and the Grand Duke of Blood were still in a heated battle.

The energy impacts stirred up by the Sword of Dead Silence were all confined by the Stasis Field, allowing the Death Star to effortlessly dodge them.

The Grand Duke of Blood was clearly at a disadvantage, basically being suppressed and beaten by the Death Star.

But due to the Grand Duke of Blood's special nature, being able to turn into a Blood Tide anywhere, anytime, the Death Star's attacks always struggled to deal him effective damage.

Coupled with the aid of the Sword of Dead Silence and the Shield of the Scorching Sun, the two were in a stalemate.

"The Dimensional World has been taken over. That torn Spatial Rift is accelerating its repair." Shadow Demon instantly noticed the anomaly with the Spatial Rift and spoke up.

Simultaneously, the Detection Devices Monitoring the entire battlefield also instantly detected anomalous spatial fluctuations in a certain area.

"Li Yu, Horus..." Harken stared at the figures on the screen, his gaze primarily focused on Li Yu, his expression unreadable.

"It's the Grand Duke of Blood..." Horus's face was solemn. "It looks like he gained a lot from this war. His Strength has greatly recovered, otherwise, he couldn't possibly last this long under the Death Star's attacks."

"Who knows what price the Star Glory Empire paid to get him to take action against the Death Star."

"That's not important." Li Yu shook his head, his gaze piercing through the surging turbulent currents on the battlefield to focus on the several slowly moving Interstellar Fortresses.

The five Interstellar Fortresses formed a pentagon and were undergoing internal adjustments.

"They want to use the Energy Prism!" Horus instantly realized and said in a deep voice.

Interstellar Fortresses also varied in strength. Having been in service for an extremely long time and undergone numerous patch-ups, the Resistance Organization's Interstellar Fortresses were definitely the weakest.

Whereas the Four-Armed Titan Legion's Legion Fortresses and the Golden Lion Legion's fortresses definitely belonged to the stronger tier.

But regardless, any fortress could not be underestimated. Now, with the Main Cannon attacks of the five fortresses combining to form a single force.

It could definitely pose a threat to the Death Star. Coupled with the Grand Duke of Blood's assistance, they were probably going to fail this time...

Horus's heart sank to the bottom. He still didn't know the situation with Return Star, and the Star Glory Empire was continually gaining the upper hand on this battlefield.

This made it very hard for Horus to feel happy.

"Sigh..." He sighed heavily and glanced at Li Yu. Normally, the two of them were definitely not in mortal danger.

At most, they would be captured by the Star Glory Empire, who would then extort some benefits.

It was just that having expended so much effort only to have Gained Nothing in the end left him somewhat unwilling.

Even if the current gains didn't belong to Return Star, at least they hadn't fallen into the Star Glory Empire's hands.

Li Yu frowned slightly. If he used his final trump card, he could definitely secure the final victory in this war.

It was just that he still didn't know the situation over in the Central Star System.

If the timing was off, it would result in him being unable to intervene in the Central Star System incident.

If that happened, he wouldn't be able to grasp the maximum benefit.

If the Central Star System failed and Return Star fell apart, that would be fine; at most, he just wouldn't gain anything.

But what if Return Star weathered this crisis and Titus came to power? Then he wouldn't just have zero gains; he would instead gain an enemy At the zenith of their power.

This was what he didn't want to see. As for some Empress raising plan, what the hell was that?

Although he now possessed Gensokyo and could completely hide it, as long as he was within this Universe, there was a possibility of being found.

His eyes flickered. It was a pity that the Little Brothers left in the Central Star System had all been purged by the incompetently furious Titus, resulting in him only being able to possess Elton now.

But that guy was currently imprisoned, completely unable to learn about the outside situation.

Communications on this battlefield were locked down, preventing external contact, so Li Yu had difficulty getting specific information about the Central Star System right now.

"Li Yu, I told you, you can't escape." Sylzo was talking trash on the broadcast channel again.

"When did you say that? Why don't I remember?" Li Yu was somewhat puzzled.

Sylzo continued: "Are you still hoping the Other-Dimensional Camp will come save you? The secret you possess is worth whatever price they have to pay."

The secret I possess?

Li Yu narrowed his eyes. The secret of being an experimental subject?

In Li Yu's estimation, the Loren Family probably believed their experiment on Li Yu had succeeded, which was why they wanted to capture him again.

And that so-called experiment should be related to the Titans, otherwise Li Yu wouldn't have been able to achieve the "Unity of Soul and Flesh" and enter a "pseudo-Titan" state.

But according to Peyton, these Nobles themselves carried traces of the Titans within them.

If it was merely as Li Yu guessed, was it really worth the Loren Family trying to capture him alive at all costs?

"You're all willing to pay such a huge price, let alone others." Li Yu probed.

Sylzo didn't reveal any more information, merely stating: "As for that Rule-Level Weapon, you can try and see if it can get you out of trouble."

His tone was filled with indifference, as if victory was already in his grasp.

"Should we try locking the target onto the Grand Duke of Blood?" Horus suggested.

"They must have prepared countermeasures against Rule-Level Attacks. There's no need for useless effort." Li Yu explained with his usual expression.

Horus didn't grow suspicious either, because this was indeed highly likely. He shook his head, then said:

"Right, don't you still have that special Spaceship? Can it escape from here?"

He was referring to the Millennium Falcon, but under current circumstances, that ship could be given a try.

However, Li Yu shook his head: "I'm not thinking about escaping from here; I'm just considering whether to take action."

"???"

Horus looked completely dumbfounded. If he hadn't spent so much time with Li Yu and become somewhat familiar with him.

If it were anyone else, he would have slapped them silly long ago.

Under this situation, you still want to take action?

How?

Even if it was the Other-Dimensional Camp, how much Strength could they commit?

"Since you want to take action, what are you hesitating for?" Horus asked irritably.

"If the timing doesn't align with the Central Star System over there, it would be a huge waste." Li Yu looked at Horus, his eyes as calm as still water.

"What?" Horus was even more bewildered. Why couldn't he understand a single bit of this sentence?

Before he could ask, Li Yu closed his eyes again. Horus was already very familiar with this, knowing that Li Yu was using his special methods again.

He could only swallow his questions back down into his stomach.

Meanwhile, in the Black Pupil Fleet that had long since left this battlefield, Stanley was pacing worriedly in the command cabin.

The atmosphere in the cabin was very quiet. Max and the others stayed here; no one spoke.

They didn't know the outcome of that battlefield, or what happened to Li Yu. All they could do now was wait.

But right at this moment, Stanley's expression suddenly froze, a bizarre change coming over his face. His tone lifted: "Everyone's here. I'm not dead yet, are you getting ready to mourn me?"

"Li Yu!?"

"My Lord!"

"Boss!"

Everyone was somewhat excited. They had experienced this situation several times already and knew it was Li Yu controlling Stanley's body right now.

"How's the battle going? Are you okay?" Hunter pressed.

"The battle situation is relatively complicated; it's hard to explain in a short while. I need to contact Klein now." Li Yu shook his head.

"Her Highness Klein has been trying to contact us, but we couldn't receive her communication requests while on the battlefield earlier." Edwin squeezed out from the crowd, his expression heavy.

"The Central Star System is in great danger right now!"
