Chapter 529: My Punch, What Will You Use to Block It!

The Basarol Sand Bandits were active in the Basarol Star System and more than a dozen nearby star systems.

Because there was a supergiant star nearby, this caused Basarol and the nearby star systems to be affected by it, creating a unique geographical environment.

However, this was not a good thing. Due to the existence of the supergiant star, most of the planets in the nearby star systems had turned into arid environments.

The scarce water resources created the non-damaging characteristic of internal slaughter.

After coming into contact with Interstellar Society, this state not only didn't change at all, but intensified, creating the reputation of the Basarol Sand Bandits.

Due to the harsh environment, their technological development was extremely backward, and most planets hadn't promoted interstellarization.

They were regarded as conscription grounds by some large Sand Bandit leaders and strictly controlled.

"Capturing Marye, plus Horus, the strength will reach a balance to some extent, in this way, our assurance will be greater..." Li Yu calculated secretly.

Their group of several people also traveled light and didn't bring more people. This wasn't a large-scale battle after all, more like an ambush.

"I don't know..." Li Yu shook his head. Meeting Codri's confused gaze, he said calmly: "Just set a trap on his return route."

Within this range, with dozens of planets, how could he possibly lock onto the exact location.

However, after Marye found Horus, he would definitely return as soon as possible. Waiting for the rabbit would be enough.

"What exactly is he here for?" Codri asked again.

"I don't know..."

An expected answer. Every time he asked, Li Yu said he didn't know.

But in fact, based on Li Yu's arrangements, he clearly knew Marye's purpose, and could even be said to be very clear about it.

But Li Yu was unwilling to tell him, and he had no other way.

…………

"Interesting..." Marye stared at the sand lizard that was dug out. Its stomach was cut open, and a Locator was rummaged out.

"Horus, you really refuse to admit defeat..."

They were surrounded by people from the Black Net Organization. A weeping guy was pushed out, wailing: "Lord, I don't know where he is, I really don't know."

"This Communicator was also given to him by me, I really didn't expect he would stuff the locating device into a lizard."

Marye frowned slightly, ignoring the guy kneeling on the ground. He looked towards the end of the desert, his voice cold: "Mobilize the Sand Bandits on the entire planet to find Horus's people, reward a hundred million Star Coins."

"Yes!"

Horus was trapped on this planet. Even if he struggled further, it was just Fighting like a trapped animal, which could only delay time, but couldn't change the predetermined outcome.

Several days later...

Horus was panting heavily, his vision blurred. Around him were the corpses of Sand Bandits fallen on the ground, fresh blood dyeing the desert blood-red.

In his blurred vision, Horus could vaguely see a figure leaning on a black cane slowly walking over.

"Marye..."

Horus spat out these two syllables, clearly recognizing the newcomer. He staggered, falling several times, but always persisted.

"Your little trick, how many days did it delay? Three days, or five days?" Marye looked down at Horus.

"Hehe, that sand lizard, was it pretty?" Horus grinned, laughing.

Marye's eyes focused, and Horus immediately flew backwards, falling onto a sand pit, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

"Ignorant. Since you don't want to fall into our hands so much, why not commit suicide?" Marye's voice was cold, "Isn't it because you're still Clinging to a sliver of hope."

"Who do you think can come to save you? Return Star? They are already preparing to hold a Funeral for you."

"Other than us, no one knows you are still alive!"

Marye was in a very bad mood. On one hand, it was because a heavily injured Horus made them delay for too long.

Another was being deceived by the little trick Horus played earlier.

However, he didn't see a trace of despair on Horus's face. Horus struggled to get up, laughing miserably: "Why didn't I commit suicide? Because I want to live, a very simple reason."

"I didn't expect anyone to come save me, and I also know you won't kill me. Precisely because of this, watching you angry but unable to kill me is even more satisfying."

Horus paused, then continued: "Actually, I can fully understand how you feel right now. For a period of time, I also felt this way towards a certain person, it was agonizing."

"Oh right, that person is called Li Yu."

Marye's face was gloomy as he looked at Horus in front of him, "We indeed won't kill you, but you will experience a feeling of Life Worse Than Death."

"Capture him, use all available confinement measures on him."

The Black Net Organization members stepped forward, taking out various Mechanical Restraints and putting them on Horus.

……

Li Yu suddenly opened his eyes, immediately found Codri, and said: "Get your people ready, Marye is preparing to return."

"Exactly when?" Codri's expression focused, and while issuing orders, he subconsciously asked.

Li Yu frowned slightly, then his eyes scattered a bit, extending three fingers.

"3... 2... 1... The warship has lifted off..."

Codri blanked slightly, somewhat Speechless,Damn it, are you serious?

Accurate to the second?

Did you stuff a person under Marye's bed?

Meeting Codri's gaze, Li Yu felt Baffling: "You were the one who asked me exactly when?"

But I didn't expect you could be accurate to the second!

Codri took a deep breath and said: "The Warp Interception Device is already set up. If he didn't detect any accidents and returns via the shortest distance, we can intercept him."

"How could he detect any accidents..." Li Yu shrugged: "Do you think he knows someone can pinpoint his warship's lift-off time to the second."

Codri thought carefully and nodded: "Indeed, this matter is a bit too outrageous."

Codri had to admit, when acting as a partner in the same camp, Li Yu's evil nature could bring great surprises.

Of course, when acting as an enemy, that was another story.

Even now, when he occasionally spaced out, the scene of Li Yu sticking a USB Drive into the Dimensional Consciousness would still float before his eyes.

………

Several days later, the Black Net Organization's Small fleet was returning.

Marye stood before the porthole. The two targets of this dispatch had basically been achieved.

Although due to some accidents, the person in charge of the aftermath on Return Star was captured, triggering the subsequent turmoil of identifying Titus.

But overall it was still within a controllable range, and the Black Net's losses weren't large.

Moreover, that person didn't know Horus had already escaped. Even if Return Star learned the news that Horus was still alive, they had no way.

They could only treat him as already Dead.

Furthermore, some information on the Titan Sanctuary had also been snatched into their hands.

Even if the Salvation Ark outpost temporarily destroyed some, it was enough.

Overall, the harvest was quite satisfactory.

However, just as he was pondering, the alarms in the warship suddenly sounded.

"Spatial instability interference fluctuations detected, suspected Warp Interception Device..."

"Please prepare for Impact..."

Marye's face suddenly changed. In the next moment, he had already appeared in the Command Center.

It was already a chaotic mess here. The Black Net Organization's Staff Members were operating frantically, but still couldn't change the situation of being forced out of the Jump State.

The current situation was already very clear, someone was intercepting him halfway.

This gave Marye a bad premonition in his heart. Almost no one knew about this operation.

Let alone anyone knowing his Destination was the Basarol Star System. How could someone intercept him halfway!?

Very quickly, the entire coordinated Small fleet dropped out of the Jump State, and waiting for them was an irregularly shaped warship, as well as three standard warships.

This scale wasn't considered massive, but no one dared to underestimate them.

And when Marye saw that irregularly shaped warship, his pupils instantly contracted, unable to help but exclaim in shock: "Li Yu!!"

Ever since the Recording of that great battle at the Meditation Organization Headquarters was spread out last time, this irregularly shaped warship was also known to the public as Li Yu's ride.

Because it looked quite ugly, it was extremely recognizable. Marye recognized it at a glance.

Subsequently, doubts surfaced in his mind one after another.

Why would he be here?

What is he doing here?

How did he know I was here?

"Your Excellency Marye..." A connection request popped up on the communication channel. After connecting, Codri's face popped out.

"Codri!"

Marye was shocked again, the people of the Salvation Ark were actually here too!?

No, they cooperated!?

Marye instantly had a certain realization, his heart sinking slightly, this was not good news.

"You guys already knew I would pass by here?" Marye asked, while simultaneously rapidly thinking of a solution in his mind.

If it was only Codri, he didn't lack the chance to escape.

"Yes, Your Excellency Li Yu had already pinpointed your movement trajectory to the second." Codri said faintly.

Marye was somewhat bewildered, but as three figures surfaced in the Starry Sky, his heart also sank to the bottom of the valley.

"Yasini, the Salvation Ark's external affairs head, the number two figure..."

Standing beside Codri was precisely Yasini, this taciturn guy.

During this time, Li Yu had also met him a few times, but the words spoken could be counted on one hand.

Codri's tone was gentle: "Surrender without a fight. If you didn't bring a Titan Artifact, there should only be the path of defeat and death."

Marye frowned tightly, unable to figure out where things went wrong.

How could his whereabouts be exposed, and the other party even ambushed him on his return route, clearly predicting his every step accurately.

"Your Excellency Li Yu had already pinpointed your movement trajectory, accurate to the second..."

This sentence surfaced in his mind, and his gaze subsequently locked onto Li Yu.

"Don't move, absolutely don't move..." Codri's voice sounded again.

"We have already locked onto you. In front of the two of us, you shouldn't have the chance to resist. If you don't want to cause accidental injuries, it's better to obediently stay where you are."

Marye's eyes narrowed slightly. He hadn't made a move for a very long time, and the outside world's information data on him still remained from a long time ago.

However, he was indeed not the match for Codri and Yasini working together.

But he still had one chance to strike, this was the confidence of a top Assassin.

He was hesitating now whether to use this opportunity to kill Horus, otherwise it would be Letting the tiger return to its mountain.

"Horus should be on your spaceship, you aren't thinking of killing him right now, are you?" Li Yu's voice rang in Marye's ears.

Marye's expression changed slightly, but he wasn't too surprised.

This guy really knows Horus is still alive.

The only possibility Marye could think of for Li Yu to find him was Horus.

Although he was very confused as to how exactly Li Yu knew, now wasn't the time for deep thought.

"Horus!?" Codri looked at Li Yu somewhat in shock, "He's not dead?"

So Marye came to find Horus!

Fuck, we haven't achieved any goals using his hands yet, instead he rescued Horus using our hands.

"Li Yu..." Marye's eyes were profound.

It wasn't hard to deduce from the current situation that the Salvation Ark had already cooperated with the Other-Dimensional Camp.

This was not good news for them.

The Salvation Ark was the key to the Fourteenth Titan Sanctuary.

If they connected with the Other-Dimensional Camp, then it would be troublesome.

If they killed Li Yu, given the Other-Dimensional Camp's value of Li Yu.

Perhaps... the cooperation would crack because of this.

Letting Horus go wouldn't cause any essential loss to them, at most the previous plan with Titus would fall through.

That little piece of trash Titus might even accuse them a bit.

But at most it was Titus's interests that were lost, which didn't have much to do with them.

Their three organizations allied to deal with the Salvation Ark, this was a head-on confrontation, the stronger the Salvation Ark's power, the more disadvantageous it was for them.

Comparing the two, Marye's eyes gradually became firm, having made a choice in his heart.

"I understand, I won't resist..." His face gradually became calm, speaking in the channel, as if accepting this established fact.

"A wise choice..." Codri gradually approached. Although Marye verbally surrendered, he didn't relax his vigilance either.

Personally coming over to put confinement measures on him, confining an A4 Level, and a lifeform in its prime at that, the steps were relatively complex.

He needed to first inject him with various Potions to suppress the Energy Reaction within his body.

Even if Codri was overly cautious, at the instant he boarded the warship where Marye was, an unexpected change still occurred.

Marye's body burst forth with piercing Energy Radiance, and his entire person instantly disappeared from the spot.

Codri's pupils contracted, but he was already highly on guard and reacted instantly, terrifying Telekinesis surging out.

While attacking, he also set up Defense Barriers all around.

However, Marye raised his black cane, as if it was an extended limb of his, shooting out black rays that pierced through space.

The Telekinesis barrier was easily severed, and the scattering rays pierced through the Metal Cabin walls, defeating the Shields of the nearby Black Net Organization warships one by one.

The tough, high-strength alloy Armor was just like paper paste, rapidly twisting and shattering as Light Beams penetrated the hulls.

In an instant, the entire ship collapsed towards the Light Beam, as if absorbed and Devoured, not a single scrap of part remaining, the warship directly annihilated completely.

Yasini's face changed slightly. At the instant Marye attacked, he had a reaction. His body disappeared into the Starry Universe, and when he appeared again, he was already beside Codri.

Like a Divine Weapon descending from heaven, forcefully resisting those black rays, he directly knocked Marye flying.

"Courting death!"

Yasini's face was as cold as frost, gripping Marye's black cane in his hand, forcefully crushing it into metal fragments.

"Heh..." A bizarre arc surfaced on the corner of Marye's mouth, and his body disappeared from the spot again, but shot towards the outer Cosmic Space.

"Trying to run, wishful thinking." Yasini sneered.

"No!" Codri's face suddenly changed drastically,

"He wants to kill Li Yu!"

"What!?" Yasini blanked slightly, and his expression instantly changed too.

Marye attacking Codri was only to attract him over, he fundamentally had no intention of truly attacking.

If Li Yu died here, then their cooperation with the Other-Dimensional Camp would probably directly G (game over).

The two reacted instantly, but Marye's speed was even faster.

His palm was gradually swallowed by a gray light. He stared at Li Yu who was close at hand, his hand blade like a sharp edge, his eyes somewhat frantic.

Piercing Light!

Piercing through light, even able to pierce light, nothing cannot be killed!

It was impossible for Li Yu to escape!

However, right at this moment, a powerful Energy Fluctuation suddenly burst forth from Li Yu's body, Electric Arcs of various colors boiling. His eyes glowed with white light, like a supreme Divine Spirit, his Aura continuously climbing.

Amidst Marye's stunned gaze, the corners of Li Yu's mouth curled up. He raised his arm, the Infinity Gauntlet surfacing, two gemstones echoing each other, with the purple light ultimately gaining the upper hand.

This resplendent fist smashed viciously towards Marye's palm.

Terrifying Energy Fluctuations erupted, the collision silent, only a figure flying backward far away from the energy center, palm twisted, bones shattered, his eyes still carrying an indescribable terror.
