Chapter 530: Codri, I Still Prefer Your Previous Unruly and Rebellious Look

~12 min read 2,320 words

Under the current circumstances, being besieged, Marye knew it was basically impossible to escape. In the final moments, trying to find a way to kill Horus was not an impossible thing.

After all, Horus being successfully rescued basically meant that the Black Net Organization's plan for a long time prior would fall short of success.

This thought wasn't hard to deduce, which was why Li Yu could point it out with one sentence earlier.

In essence, it was also telling Marye: your thoughts have already been seen through by me, we are already on guard, don't indulge in wishful thinking.

Subsequently, Marye's resistance didn't surprise Li Yu too much.

For a lifeform of this level, wanting him to truly surrender without a fight was basically impossible.

For an A4 Level lifeform, the span of their Combat Power Level ranged from tens of millions to a hundred million, and the gap between each level was extremely huge.

According to the information provided by the Salvation Ark, the last time Marye made a move was fifty-six years ago, and his Combat Power Level was roughly twenty million.

Although fifty-six years had passed, reaching this level, the increase in Combat Power Level would be very slow, basically impossible to have a qualitative leap.

If Marye had any ultimate move, maybe he could really escape calmly.

But then, Marye charging at him Aggressively made him somewhat Speechless.

This guy actually thought about killing him in the final moments?

Li Yu stood tall in the Starry Universe, his whole body exuding strong Energy Fluctuations. Various Amplification states had already been activated, and his Strength had increased geometrically.

Coupled with the power of the Infinity Gauntlet, that punch just now directly sent Marye flying.

The severe pain from his palm couldn't conceal the overwhelming shock in Marye's heart.

His palm had completely changed shape. His fingers were bent back forty-five degrees, the joints where they connected had cracked open, revealing grim bone fragments.

The terrifying power even caused his entire arm to twist somewhat.

Although the injury was rapidly self-repairing, Marye's horror was difficult to calm down easily.

What... what is going on?

How could this guy have such strong power? According to the intelligence, he could at most contend against a Third-Stage Evolutionist head-on.

How could he send me flying with one punch?

Is it that pair of gloves!?

No,Marye denied his own thought. The Black Net Organization had carefully studied that pair of gloves.

After all, the first time that pair of gloves appeared, a certain Member of the Black Net Organization was watching right at the scene.

According to their deduction, the power this pair of gloves could erupt with was closely related to the user themselves.

Moreover, the might erupting from Li Yu's body right now all demonstrated his power.

"Third-Stage Evolutionist, what a fast Evolution speed..." Marye sensed carefully, instantly perceiving Li Yu's current Evolution level.

But even so, it still couldn't explain the excessively powerful Strength on his body.

"To be honest, your choice of me as an attack target is still quite surprising." Li Yu communicated with Marye.

"I thought you would choose to kill Horus. But thinking carefully, killing me is indeed much more worthwhile than killing Horus."

With his current physical strength, he could already urge the Infinity Stones for conventional combat within a short time.

The Amplification brought by the Infinity Gauntlet was also massive, otherwise it would have been impossible to blast Marye flying with one punch just now.

Marye's expression was grave. On the other side, Codri and Yasini were also slowly approaching.

As he guessed before, he only had one chance to strike.

And this chance to strike ended in failure.

Meanwhile, Codri looked at Li Yu as if looking at a monster.

Several shocking terms flashed through his mind one after another.

Last time in No Man's Land, this guy was still a slacker Fishing In Troubled Waters, only able to look for opportunities in the cracks of the battle, and then use the Other-Dimensional Camp's power to decide the victory.

Therefore, this was also the reason why he was displeased earlier, because he believed Li Yu lacked powerful personal Strength, and was entirely here to Slack Off.

However, this battle broke his cognition.

Sending Marye flying head-on, although it didn't make him lose his combat ability, this kind of combat power was exaggerated enough.

Even he himself wasn't confident he could beat Marye into this state with one strike.

This also meant that Li Yu's current combat power vaguely surpassed his.

A sense of dejection and helplessness couldn't help but rise in Codri's heart.

Previously, he thought there was internal strife within the Other-Dimensional Camp's factions, so they were unwilling to send high-end combat power, only letting Li Yu come over to put on an act.

Now it seemed, this wasn't them being unwilling to send high-end combat power, but Li Yu himself was the high-end combat power.

Overthinking so much for nothing.

Looking at Yasini's questioning gaze—

Why is this guy so strong? Didn't you say he was here to slack off?

Codri shook his head helplessly—

I don't know, the situation has developed and changed too fast, I want some peace and quiet.

"How about, one more time?" Li Yu looked at Marye, probing tentatively.

Marye reined in his emotions and shook his head: "No, there's no need. I can't kill you, striking again is also in vain."

"Indeed..." Li Yu nodded in agreement, and then in the next moment, abruptly disappeared from the spot. Marye's pupils contracted.

The resplendent Infinity Gauntlet magnified infinitely in his eyes, and then had an intimate contact with his cheek.

Bang—

Intense Energy erupted again, and Marye was sent flying once more. This time it was far more miserable than the last. Half of his cheek was torn apart, his cheekbone shattered, flesh and blood hung from his skin, and his grim gums were clearly visible.

"Then I hit you, is that okay?" Li Yu shook his arm, the Infinity Gauntlet disappeared, and the Aura on his body gradually calmed down.

Sneak attacking me, and still thinking of not paying a price, in your dreams!

Anger rose in Marye's eyes. He was a high-level executive of the Black Net Organization, when had he ever suffered this kind of treatment?

"Be honest!" Codri scolded, taking out a few Mechanical Restraints from his Compressed Space, firmly locking Marye from head to toe.

Metal needles extended from the inside of the device, injecting a specially made Potion through the wound.

Marye felt his body rapidly weakening, and the injury on his cheek becoming increasingly painful.

"Giving you dignity but you refuse, insisting on facing this kind of undignified method." Codri was also very displeased.

Just now, if Li Yu was really killed by Marye, then the Salvation Ark could activate its hidden world program, and just Vanish Without a Trace for a few hundred years first.

The three organizations over there hadn't been resolved yet, and if Li Yu died on their side, being Attacked From All Sides, the Salvation Ark wouldn't be able to withstand it either.

Therefore, Codri didn't have a good attitude towards Marye now either.

Originally, he still wanted to take into account the face of a high-level lifeform, after all, who knew when he himself might fall into the other party's hands.

Now he couldn't be bothered to care anymore. He directly had someone escort Marye down, with only one requirement: just don't die.

"Your Excellency is truly formidable, silently rescuing Horus." Codri smiled bitterly, his words containing admiration.

Li Yu could clearly feel that Codri's attitude had changed. It was no longer like before, where although gentle on the surface, there was a trace of disdain in his bones.

"Codri..." Li Yu said wistfully: "Actually, I still prefer your previous Unruly and Rebellious Look."

Codri: "..."

Marye had already been captured. The remaining Black Net Organization Members couldn't be presented on the table in front of these big shots, and had no thoughts of resisting either.

The battlefield was quickly cleaned up. The Interstellar Network in this area was locked down from the very beginning, and no news was transmitted out.

At the same time, Horus, who was imprisoned deep within the warship, was also found by everyone.

"He's already injured to this extent, is there a need for such strict defensive measures?" Codri looked at Horus, who was solidly locked down by Mechanical Restraints, and said somewhat strangely.

"They even used a Slumber Potion, I didn't even use that on Marye."

Horus was stark naked all over, his skin full of cracks, as if he would split open in the next second. His eyes were tightly closed, and he had already lost his perception of the external environment.

"Perhaps the last escape angered Marye." Li Yu said casually.

This old schemer Horus was actually born with Dual Abilities.

However, this information, besides Horus himself, probably only Li Yu knew.

Li Yu deduced, probably last time it was precisely because the people of the Black Net Organization thought Horus had no resistance capability, and the confinement measures weren't strong, that allowed Horus to escape.

"Escaped last time?"

Codri was somewhat surprised again. Looking at Li Yu's posture, it seemed he knew this intelligence like the back of his hand.

Under the operations of the Salvation Ark Staff Members, various confinement equipment were removed, and then Life Energy was slowly injected, awakening the body's self-repair mechanism.

Before long, Horus had a reaction. He slowly opened his eyes, first somewhat bewildered, and then became exceptionally vigilant.

"Horus, long time no see, how have you been?" Li Yu's big face suddenly appeared, making Horus's pupils shrink into needles, looking quite frightened.

Subconsciously saying: "Li Yu?"

"You were also caught by the Black Net Organization?"

"You think I'm you?" Li Yu said irritably: "I saved you. Remember to set up a longevity tablet for me when you get back, and offer sacrifices day and night."

"You saved me?" Horus frowned tightly, not surprised at first. Instead, he slowly got up, and after seeing Codri nearby, his eyes paused slightly again.

"Your Excellency Horus, long time no see." Codri greeted, and then added: "I really envy you for having a close friend like Li Yu."

Hearing this sentence, Horus's eyes were profound, the emotions contained within extremely complex.

"So I was really saved by you." Only upon seeing Codri did Horus completely lower his guard.

"So you didn't believe me just now?" Li Yu looked at Horus, the injuries all over his body were slowly repairing.

"I thought it was some kind of torture technique devised by the Black Net Organization, or a hallucination or something." Horus explained.

"Where is Marye?" Horus inquired.

"His face was smashed by a punch from Your Excellency Li Yu, and he is imprisoned in the lower-level prison." Codri proactively explained.

Smashed by a punch from Li Yu?Horus's eyes changed slightly.

The amount of information contained in this sentence was quite large. Combined with Codri's current attitude that was close to "licking," Horus had some guesses.

"Codri..." Horus looked at Codri, paused, and said: "I feel your attitude from when you were in No Man's Land is more suitable."

"Your current attitude makes me feel a bit unaccustomed."

Codri: "..."

Fuck, isn't this to ease our relationship? In a while, this Crazy Bastard Li Yu could probably beat me up at will.

If I don't ease it now, I can't wait until fists land on my body to ease it, right?

Horus had many questions, and these questions were quickly answered, including the cooperation with the Salvation Ark and the Other-Dimensional Camp.

"So that's how it is..." Horus nodded thoughtfully: "In that case, I can actually help out, so as not to waste saving me once."

"That couldn't be better..." Codri was overjoyed.

Counting Horus, their side now had four A4 Level lifeforms.

And after removing Marye, the enemy's Strength was further weakened.

Perhaps... this operation plan's harvest might far exceed their imagination.

While initially, they just wanted to express the Ark's attitude of not tolerating provocation.

But as the situation developed, Codri realized that there was more and more they could achieve.

And all of this was because of Li Yu. If he couldn't accurately control Marye's whereabouts in a bizarre way, they couldn't have reached this step.

Although treating him as an enemy was quite painful, when acting as teammates, he had to admit, it was really satisfying.

Having resolved Marye, everyone prepared to return. Horus was repairing his injuries. Because his injuries lasted too long and were too severe.

Initially, they could only use gentle repair methods to gradually strengthen his body's basic functions.

However, the Salvation Ark were experts in this field, so naturally there was no need to worry.

"Thank you for this time..." Horus looked at Li Yu, his tone solemn.

"No problem, just did it in passing..." Li Yu leaned against the wall, his tone casual: "Oh right, when Klein heard you Died, she even shed a few tears."

"Vimala was quite indifferent though..."

"Klein..." Hearing this, Horus muttered in a low voice. After a long time, he adjusted his emotions, looked at Li Yu again, his eyes suspicious: "However, I have a question to ask you."

"Do you have some way to track me?"

Li Yu's accurate control over Marye's whereabouts, as well as knowing about his escape from the Black Net Organization, combined with some clues from before, led him to this guess.

Li Yu's heart skipped a beat, but on the surface he said nonchalantly: "If I could track you, I would have saved you long ago, how could I wait until now."

Horus was Noncommittal. Just like that bizarre "Controversy Detector," these were things without evidence. He couldn't pursue it, and there was no need to.
