Chapter 499: A Multitude of Events
"It seems I have to find time to visit the Salvation Ark again. The Titan Sanctuary, just hearing this name makes one look forward to it..."
Li Yu muttered. As for what Identity to go with? Naturally, as the Overlord.
Although due to the deterrence of the God of the Force, there was a sense of turning hostility into friendship between him and the Salvation Ark.
He wouldn't think this way, though. After all, if he hadn't had endless methods, he would have been sliced up by the Ark long ago.
This "favor," naturally, couldn't be forgotten.
So, the Salvation Ark would just have to suffer a little grievance.
Only a few days had passed since Klein's ascension ceremony, and even the treaty negotiations with some other civilizations hadn't ended yet.
The Citizens Interior Return Star had already shifted their gaze away from the Empress's ascension and were attracted by another matter.
In some Star Sector of Return Star's Southern Territory, massive Armed Organizations attacks suddenly broke out, affecting over a hundred and twenty-eight Star System.
Moreover, they advanced with an Unstoppable Force, suddenly plunging the Southern Territory into chaotic and unclear circumstances, with a trend of gradually spreading to the entire Southern Territory.
……
"The first Defense Line has been breached, the enemy is still advancing rapidly!"
"Requesting support, requesting support!"
This Defending Forces soldier roared holding a communicator, the sound of artillery fire around him almost drowning out his voice.
Bang!
The next moment, a blinding energy cluster fell, blasting a large crater here. The scattered limbs, wrapped in dust, flew off to who knows where.
"Rumble rumble!!"
The Earth trembled endlessly as rows of tall Heavy Ground Combat Tank advanced.
They were fully dozens of meters tall, their external gray Metal Armor incredibly thick.
A semi-enclosing blue Energy Shield covered their upper halves. The treads operated continuously, and wherever they passed, it was a mess; trees and wild beasts were all crushed flat.
Line after line of ground defenses were breached. Countless Turret and Trap had no ability to resist in front of such heavy combat machinery.
Soldiers wearing Metal Armor raised their Weapon and shot madly at the enemy, their Gun muzzles spewing out scorching beams.
Agile Figures shuttled through the artillery fire, destroying the defense teams like rotten wood and easily tearing apart the defenders' battle lines.
Low-Altitude Aircraft in the sky coordinated the combat, providing Fire Support from high above, spewing dense lines of Fire.
Bombarding the fortresses' Protective Shield, making Electric Arc sparks fly everywhere.
Under the bombardment, the forests turned into a Ground of charred Ruins, and a large number of buildings collapsed with a bang in the artillery fire.
This was the Governing Planet of the Simovia Star System located in the Southern Territory, and it encountered a sudden attack just today.
The attackers were a Resistance Organization. The Spaceship bore a common logo, a one-eyed wolf, representing a Resistance Organization called "Remnant Wolf".
They had been established for decades, but previously it had always been minor skirmishes without any major actions.
Unexpectedly, they ran over to attack the Governing Planet of this Star System without any warning this time.
Moreover, the scale of firepower far exceeded the records in the files. This fleet dispatched nearly a thousand C-Tier Lifeform and hundreds of B-Tier Lifeform.
There were even unknown A-Tier Lifeform and a large number of warships and ground combat equipment, enough to support a slightly larger Armed Organizations.
Not long after the engagement, the defense forces of the Governing Planet fell into a complete rout, unable to withstand the enemy's attack.
In one of the warships, an Interstellar human wearing an eyepatch looked down at the devastating offensive on the Ground and nodded in satisfaction.
He was exactly the Leader of this Resistance Organization. He clenched the necklace on his neck; it was a rather comical and cute necklace with a pink cat head pendant.
It didn't quite match his overall style and looked more like a child's toy.
"Boss, we won!! What should we do next!?" A subordinate asked excitedly.
"Harvest the spoils of war, continue fighting, go to the next Star System!"
He commanded.
Most Resistance Organization didn't have a systematic action program. They only knew that if they suffered oppression, they had to resist. But how to resist? What about after resisting?
They hadn't deeply thought about these questions.
And the sharpness of most Resistance Organization's Leader would slowly be worn away in this process, and then they would either die from a backstab by their subordinates, or simply sell out the organization for a comfortable remaining life.
………
"This is already the sixteenth Armed Organizations attack incident. During this period, it's as if they had an agreement, launching attacks simultaneously!"
Klein looked around at the High Echelon present, her face cold and stern. Titus looked calm, and Alexei didn't say a word.
Klein continued: "Moreover, according to the data, the military Strength displayed by many Armed Organizations far exceeds their previous records."
"There must be someone organizing and supporting this behind the scenes!"
Prince Connor answered: "Exactly, although the Star System Defending Forces are not considered strong, they are not something ordinary Resistance Organization can contend with. The other party's actions are fast, accurate, and ruthless, which should not be something organizations of their level can display."
Speaking nonsense, basically retelling Klein's words in his own way.
Although these big shots of the Imperial Family High Echelon didn't ostensibly complain about Klein becoming Empress, they didn't put in any real effort either.
They seemed to be... evaluating?
Li Yu also sat in the High Echelon array, took out the [Tarkinism Outline] and took a look. Ho... good heavens, the approval rating has already dropped to 16%.
Plummeting 4 points directly in just a few days was enough to prove that war was the easiest event to shake a ruler.
"Send troops to suppress it first," Titus proposed.
Sending troops to suppress it was definitely necessary, but who to send was a troublesome question.
It definitely couldn't be Titus's people. Klein's primary suspect now was Titus.
If his people were sent, let alone suppressing it, tipping them off was more likely.
But the people she could use right now were few, capable of suppressing this large-scale riot...
She looked around, and several generals like Aisel and Horus came into her view.
Aisel's attitude was Ambiguous, turning a blind eye to Klein's several attempts to win him over, but he hadn't contacted Titus either.
"I'll go..." Horus offered proactively. His prestige was sufficient, and his own Strength was extraordinary.
It could even be said that using him to suppress an Interior riot was considered making a mountain out of a molehill.
"Alright, let the 23rd, 19th, 18th, and 6th Patrol Fleet coordinate with you..." Klein also breathed a sigh of relief and said.
Horus frowned slightly. Four Patrol Fleet? This amount of troops is somewhat insufficient.
However, Return Star had just experienced a major war, and the major main battle fleets all suffered heavy losses in the Central Star System. They hadn't recovered their Vital Energy yet, and truly couldn't spare too many troops for the time being.
Moreover, other Star Sector still needed to maintain vigilance to prevent anyone from playing tricks.
Although his individual Strength could achieve a crushing victory, he couldn't be the one going up in every battle.
And he could only attend to one battlefield. This way, the Timeline for suppressing the rebellion would probably be stretched very long.
And the longer this rebellion lasted, the greater the impact it would have on Klein.
"My Twelve Golden Immortals can support you, take them to use." Li Yu generously said. Those twelve Transformers were idle anyway, might as well throw them to Horus.
Suppressing the rebellion earlier meant the [Tarkinism Outline] could also continue to unlock new Weapon.
"Also, collecting warship Ruins from the battlefield during this period has resulted in a few decent Weapon being made. You take those to use too."
The Alloy Materials needed to build the Death Star were counted in trillions of tons, but the Superweapon unlocked in the first two chapters of the [Tarkinism Outline] weren't this massive.
The scattered warship scrap near the Central Star System, after being recycled, were all gladly accepted by Li Yu, and quite a few of those Superweapon were made.
Horus nodded, and subsequently received the Weapon data transmitted by Li Yu. His eyes instantly changed somewhat.
This fucking thing was made using warship Ruins?
He looked at the various Weapon data displayed on the Smart Terminal. He had never even heard of many of the Weapon characteristics on it.
For example, this Interstellar Ion Cannon, with its powerful destructive force, was already a planet-level Weapon. It could be built using warship scrap?
The other Weapon were also some large planet-level Weapon or Advanced Stage anti-ship Weapon, exactly the Advanced Stage Weapon the Patrol Fleet lacked, largely making up for the lack of combat power.
"These Weapon have all been loaded onto the Twelve Golden Immortals. You just command them when the time comes," Li Yu said casually.
He gave Horus four Weapon and kept two for himself, mainly because they weren't built yet, lacking some materials.
"Alright." Horus nodded and didn't say much else.
Klein looked at Li Yu, couldn't help but feel moved, one's own people are the most reliable.
Having assigned the generals, the meeting ended quickly. Klein was very busy, leaving in a hurry to continue negotiating with other civilizations.
The several High Echelon present also left one after another. Titus stared at Li Yu's back, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Is there a need?" Alexei stood beside him and said in a low voice.
Titus looked at Alexei; no one could understand what meaning was contained in Titus's eyes.
"Younger Brother, you better just be a good Mascot," Titus said flatly, dropping this sentence.
Alexei's body stood perfectly straight, not caring about Titus's words, with a faint smile on his face...
"My good big brother, your mindset seems to have undergone some slight changes..."
………
"Someone dares to rob my things!?"
Li Yu stared at the Holographic Screen and said coldly: "Who are they?"
The screen was pitch black, with only the remark in the upper right corner revealing his name -- Siegel.
"There are people from the Black Net, and not just them; quite a few factions are Covetously Staring at the legacy left by Meditation..." Siegel's voice came over.
Siegel was sent by Li Yu to keep an eye on Meditation's legacy precisely to prevent others from laying hands on it.
After all, many people witnessed Reinhardt's death in No Man's Land back then, it was impossible for them not to have ideas.
His relationship with the Black Net wasn't very good. During the Central Star System war, the Leader of the Black Net Organization had almost zero interaction with his God of the Force avatar.
Unlike the Leader of the Salvation Ark, who proactively Turn hostility into friendship.
Moreover, the person supported by the Black Net was precisely Titus, and they had even added fuel to the flames regarding the Infinity Gauntlet.
Furthermore, right now on the Black Hole Network, a lot of information about Li Yu was still spreading wildly, and it was hard to rule out Titus pushing it behind the scenes.
Li Yu frowned. What he primarily had his eyes on were those Artificial Gods left behind by Meditation.
He could plunder a massive amount of Faith from them and then use it to Enlighten Transformers.
The [Tarkinism Outline] could give him quite a few Superweapon; those were all living combat power.
And apart from the Council and his own cultivation, Meditation was Li Yu's largest source of Faith nowadays, not allowing others to interfere.
But for such a large organization like Meditation, the resources left behind couldn't possibly not be targeted by others.
"I alone am afraid it's very difficult to withstand the pressure, you better send someone over quickly," Siegel said.
"I know..." Li Yu nodded, his gaze deep: "I will go over personally."
He really didn't have any other people who could hold the fort to send out for the time being. The Strength to contend with other large organizations, apart from himself, was only the Death Star.
But the Death Star itself wasn't invincible, and if it accidentally drew out the Leader of the Black Net, a direct conflict would be troublesome.
This was like two children agreeing to a fight; adults wouldn't appear. But once an adult from one side appeared, the other side definitely wouldn't Stand By Idly.
Winning would be fine, but if he lost and let people see that the Other-Dimensional Camp was an Empty Shell, it would be a huge loss.
Although he used the "God of the Force" to make the entire Interstellar feel Apprehension towards the Other-Dimensional Camp.
But just like the Star Glory Empire, the entire Interstellar also feared the Star Glory Empire.
But this didn't mean that when there was a conflict of interest, other factions wouldn't strike against the Star Glory Empire; instead, it was highly likely they would strike harder and be more fully prepared.
If he couldn't handle it then, his indestructible golden body would be broken. It would be better not to involve the Other-Dimensional Camp appearing this time, maintaining a mysterious facade.
Of course, the most important thing was, even if he wanted to involve them, there was no one to involve. The Other-Dimensional Camp was completely an Empty Shell.
If only Li Yu made a move, the Leader of the Black Net Organization definitely couldn't appear, after all, the tier of the two was not on the same level.
Just fighting for a legacy was not enough to make the entire Black Net organization move.
Li Yu pondered for a long time. There were quite a few things recently: Moduo waking up, taking over Meditation, and the Star Glory Empire's calculations with unknown reasons and purposes...
This made him feel somewhat thorny and urgent, but things had to be handled one by one, he couldn't rush.
Return Star hadn't gotten on track yet and the support it could provide was limited, still needing some time.
However, Meditative Domain wasn't far from Return Star's Southern Territory. If any unexpected situations occurred, he could call Horus for support.
He believed that under the circumstances of him providing Weapon and manpower support, Horus definitely wouldn't refuse.
He had already laid out the plans for Moduo's matter, moreover, Moduo hadn't woken up yet and temporarily couldn't take action.
Now he could only handle Meditation's matters first, wait until he harvested a wave of Faith and strengthened his own Strength before talking.
In case a conflict arose with the Star Glory Empire later, it would also be easier to handle.
Li Yu roughly sorted out a clear thread. Without further delay, he immediately prepared to leave the Central Star System and head to Meditative Domain.
However, just as he was preparing to leave, he suddenly received a message from Vimala, inviting him to meet.
