Chapter 484: Dark Star, I Will Pave the Way for You!

Everyone was somewhat dumbfounded now, because after all, no one had anticipated the current situation.

Pitch-black Force Lightning, violent as a thunder dragon, coiled around Li Yu. This was an entirely unknown power.

All the lifeforms present had never seen this kind of power before.

But right now, the origin of this power wasn't the most important thing. How to face "Li Yu" became the most troublesome matter.

"Power of this tier..." The Grand Duke of Blood once again transformed from a Blood Tide into a Corporeal Form, staring fixedly at Li Yu, his face faintly showing a look of horror.

As a former Councilor, he had a deeper understanding of power at this tier. That was a power one could only truly experience when sitting upon "God's Throne."

That was a power far exceeding conventional life tiers. What exactly was going on with this person before him!?

At this moment, his level of Apprehension towards the Other-Dimensional Camp increased by several degrees.

He didn't believe this was Li Yu's own power. It was obviously with the help of external forces. He even... guessed that the one controlling this body right now was no longer Li Yu.

The dazzling fireworks around them gradually extinguished. Numerous High-Level Lifeforms of the Golden Lion Legion darted out from the explosions.

Harken and Sylzo were among them. The explosion just now didn't deal much damage to them, not even leaving any wounds on the surface of their skin.

Their faces were extremely ugly. After all, after experiencing consecutive major battles previously, the Golden Lion Legion had only lost one-tenth of its Strength.

Yet now, their entire army was wiped out, leaving only a few High-Level Lifeforms.

The personnel casualties were secondary; it was the loss of warships that made Harken's heart bleed.

"Who... are you!?" Harken stared fixedly at Li Yu and asked in a deep voice.

"Didn't you want to see our power? So, I came." Li Yu looked down at Harken. As he spoke, his palm moved. The roar of Force Lightning sounded within the soul of every lifeform, simultaneously illuminating the entire Star Sector.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Force Lightning, resembling a swimming dragon, struck towards An Obscure Spot, shaking the Starry Sky.

The Grand Duke of Blood felt a strong threat and simultaneously realized something was wrong, because the target of this Force Lightning was precisely him.

His body dissipated, turning into a Blood Sea rushing in all directions. However, it was as if an invisible Force Barrier enveloped his body.

Those seas of blood were forcibly confined within a range of a few hundred kilometers.

Rumble!

The Force Lightning descended, leaving a continuously spreading Lightning Arc on the retinas of numerous lifeforms.

And its essence had already fallen into the Grand Duke of Blood's Corporeal Form.

The viscous Blood Sea continuously churned. The Thunder echoing within his Spiritual Body caused him to suffer torment.

The Blood Sea was mixed with black Thunder, and large swathes of the Blood Sea collapsed as a result, turning into Blood Mist and dissipating.

"This is bad. If this continues, I won't even be able to preserve my main body." The Grand Duke of Blood's thoughts churned, and he couldn't help but want to curse.

Originally, joining this war was to let himself recover some blood.

Yet now, not only did he have to spit out what he had eaten before, but there was even a risk of death.

Deep within the Blood Sea, it churned incessantly. One by one, blood-red divine Runes surfaced, arranging themselves into a bizarre combination and emitting a strange power.

Li Yu keenly perceived this power and knew this must be the Grand Duke of Blood's desperate trump card.

As a former Councilor, he could never be underestimated at any time. More importantly, he didn't have any more time to waste here.

Li Yu's eyes flashed slightly, and the High-Compression Energy Cluster in his other hand fell towards the Blood Sea.

This Energy Cluster had already been compressed by Li Yu to the size of a palm, but the Energy contained within was unimaginable.

"So ruthless!?"

The Grand Duke of Blood was Cursing Loudly, while that dark red Energy Cluster had already plunged deep into the Blood Sea.

Without Li Yu's control, this Energy Cluster instantly expanded. Arc-shaped Energy Fluctuation rippled on its surface, dissipating layer by layer.

Soon, it burst the Blood Sea. From a distance, it looked like a red sun about to rise from the sea, but this scene revealed an indescribable eeriness.

The piercing light made every lifeform instinctively narrow their eyes. Terrifying Energy Fluctuations expanded like a Stellar Ring.

The Blood Sea evaporated, gradually dissipating within the Energy Core, and finally disappeared completely.

"Ran away?" Li Yu was somewhat surprised. At the final moment of the explosion, he detected a very faint Aura that broke through his Force Barrier and fled into The Void.

The Grand Duke of Blood was a former Councilor after all; his life-saving methods were not to be underestimated.

It was just that based on that faint Aura the Grand Duke of Blood ultimately fled with, if he wanted to recover again, he would have to find at least five more wars on the tier of this No Man's Land one.

After all, since failing the last Divine War, he had lain dormant for countless years just to barely recover to this tier. Now, he was back to square one overnight.

"One down..." Li Yu withdrew his gaze. The Grand Duke of Blood was the most threatening power, and he had now been dealt with.

"There is no record of you in the Empire's data. How... how exactly were you born!?" The horror in Harken's heart was far from being just about the already failed situation before him.

It was because previously, the Empire had never discovered this lifeform, nor were there any recorded data.

This was what made him the most terrified—

A power beyond the Empire's expectations had appeared In interstellar space.

Whether it was the Reformers, those Resistance Organizations, or the Return Star Council.

Even if the Empire couldn't wipe them all out in one fell swoop, they could still predict their actions based on clues.

Just like this war.

But a faction and power that had never been understood would bring many unpredictable consequences.

Just like now, the Empire had no preparation for "Li Yu's" appearance, which was why such massive losses occurred.

"Star Glory Empire?" Li Yu shook his head, his tone obscure, as the Kyber Cage surfaced from his System Space.

He raised his hand, and an invisible power covered the numerous lifeforms of the Golden Lion Legion.

All the High-Level Lifeforms found that they could hardly move in the face of this power, just like when they were weak facing High-Level Lifeforms.

"What kind of power is this!" The veins on Harken's forehead popped, yet it had no effect. They were like ants trapped in a glass jar, freedom right before their eyes, yet a thousand miles away.

They were thrown into the Kyber Cage like a dogpile.

[Special Item – Kyber Cage: A special Cage crafted using Kyber Crystal. The Supernatural Traits of most lifeforms imprisoned within will be suppressed.]

As soon as Harken and the others entered this Cage, they felt the vast majority of the power in their bodies fall into a bizarre state of silence.

He didn't intend to kill these High-Level Lifeforms. Later, he still planned to learn his own secret from Harken's mouth.

Moreover, these High-Level Lifeforms could be exchanged for quite a few benefits from the Star Glory Empire.

To him, who had just obtained Gensokyo and urgently needed a large amount of resources for development and construction, this was tantamount to a sweet spring.

He casually tossed the Cage to Horus. Horus was enough to guard numerous High-Level Lifeforms whose Strength had been mostly suppressed.

Horus still felt like he was in a dream right now. This was the God of the Force, that powerful lifeform who promised to support Vimala?

As expected... strong enough!

It was just that his expression changed again. Since the God of the Force appeared here, what about the Central Star System?

Thinking of this, his expression became somewhat worried.

Having dealt with the Golden Lion Legion, the only ones left now were A paltry sum from the Troll Legion and the Four-Armed Titan Legion.

He actually didn't want to make a move against these people. Raymond, the Legion Commander of the Troll Legion, had an Ambiguous attitude towards him, and had even escorted his Black Pupil Fleet off the battlefield earlier.

The two of them could be considered to have some indescribable connection, which might be of great use in the future.

And within the Four-Armed Titan Legion, there was also his Old Friend Glazed Star, who had provided him with a lot of help.

He couldn't use a large-scale AOE attack like he did against the Golden Lion Legion, because he might accidentally injure some friends.

If he didn't use a large-scale AOE, it would be very troublesome to deal with them, and he didn't have enough people on hand to use right now.

And he didn't have too much time to waste here; the Central Star System over there was the main event.

But he also had to find a suitable reason not to attack these two legions.

Otherwise, simply going easy on them, anyone would be able to tell something was wrong.

After all, the Strength he currently possessed wasn't permanent. He couldn't just live for these 30 minutes and not think about the future, right?

Thoughts flashed rapidly, while time flowed away.

………

Rewinding the time back a few minutes, when the Golden Lion Legion exploded into a galaxy, inside the Four-Armed Titan Legion Fortress.

Donovan stared at that Man standing in the Starry Sky, his expression flat.

He wasn't surprised at all by this outcome.

Who told the war to last for ten days? Li Yu could definitely hold back a big ultimate move.

It was just that, in the corner, someone was keeping their head down, their entire body trembling.

Dark Star forcefully suppressed his trembling body. The terrifying power erupting from that Corporeal Form made him feel excitement and fear.

He had never experienced this kind of power, only feeling that in front of this power, everything was just an insignificant grain of sand.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his desire to attack Li Yu. This power of unknown origin rapidly dissipated within his body.

This left him somewhat disappointed, because this power was only effective when facing Li Yu.

"Fuck, this kid always has a way to get out of trouble. Such terrifying power, the Other-Dimensional Camp hid it too deeply!" Ted was Muttering Curses.

The Golden Lion Legion's Legion Fortress exploding right near them had scared him quite a bit.

"Beep, beep, energy peak is unpredictable!"

The fortress's alarm sounded again. It was precisely when the fusion attack Energy Cluster exploded in the Blood Sea.

Li Yu's movements were very fast. Harken and the others were locked in the Cage under Ted's watchful eyes.

"The Grand Duke of Blood was insta-killed, Harken was captured, next it should be our turn. I didn't expect to actually fall here today."

Ted slammed one of his hands heavily on the console.

However, just when the atmosphere in the cabin was low, a sentence suddenly came from the corner: "I can help you evacuate..."

Ted's eyes instantly widened, and he hurriedly turned his head to look. It wasn't that hope had risen in his heart.

Rather, he wanted to see which of his subordinates had been scared crazy.

Could the current "Li Yu" be stopped by a human?

However, when he clearly saw that person was Dark Star, his heart jolted.

He finally remembered that he still had a Weapon here "specifically for dealing with Li Yu."

It was just that Dark Star was like an invisible Man. The only time Ted remembered him was when he wanted him to deal with the Death Star.

As a result, Dark Star directly called 'GG', making him completely snuff out the faint little flame of hope in his heart.

"You can't even deal with the Death Star, let alone Li Yu." Ted shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to him.

Donovan glanced at him and sneered inwardly. I am the only one who understands Li Yu best, and I am the only one who can deal with him.

Dark Star's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "I said, I can only deal with Li Yu!"

Ted frowned, still wanting to say something, but right at this moment, the detection system frantically sounded alarms. On the Holographic Screen, overwhelming black Thunder was striking towards the surviving Imperial Fleet.

"Trust me, initiate the Warp sequence. I will pave the way for you!"

Dark Star took a step forward, and then, amidst the astonished gazes of the others, a terrifying Aura erupted from his Corporeal Form.

Ted couldn't help but retreat continuously, leaning against the cabin, looking at Dark Star who was like a Divine Spirit.

What the fuck is going on?

Raymond's heart likewise set off stormy waves, but his reaction was much faster than Ted's. He immediately commanded: "All warships coordinate with the fortress, prepare to simultaneously enter the Warp Lane!"

Donovan looked in disbelief at Dark Star, who had suddenly experienced Explosive Potential. This guy... really wasn't bragging?

And the Minotaur, who had even less presence than Dark Star, couldn't help but shudder... I seem to remember stepping on this guy with my hooves earlier.

Li Yu felt the Aura erupting from the Legion Fortress that was in sharp opposition to his own, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but slightly curl up:

Bro, today I'll also let you taste the feeling of having Explosive Potential and being the protagonist.

This was Li Yu's plan, letting Dark Star oppose him to cover the retreat of the remaining people.

This way, the Empire's attention would be diverted to Dark Star.

And Li Yu wouldn't have to waste time dealing with those remaining people.

Undoubtedly, after today, Dark Star would definitely land on the desk of the Empire's supreme ruler.

Maybe there would even be various experiments waiting for him.

However, Dark Star had no choice. If he didn't take action and his value wasn't demonstrated, his fate would be even more miserable.

Moreover, it would implicate the person he desperately tried to protect.

Therefore, Dark Star could only cooperate with Li Yu, acting out this play to reveal his value.

Furthermore, even if the Empire studied him, they couldn't possibly be lethal about it. After all, he was the only example.

Maybe his Status would even rise.
