Chapter 536: Impact and Plans

Inside the Eye of Palpatine, Li Yu slowly opened his eyes, then frowned slightly, rubbing his temples.

Although this descent into the Past didn't consume The Force on a large scale, the duration was relatively long, so it still made him feel somewhat tired.

He had attracted most of the Star Glory Empire's attention, Mo Duo shouldn't have too much trouble.

"Claptrap, check the concert at the Red Maple Star Hall." Li Yu instructed.

Immediately, a Holographic Screen popped up in front of him, playing precisely the current situation of the concert at the Red Maple Star Hall.

The suddenly paused concert had already made headlines on quite a few Interstellar Media and the discussion rate in the Interstellar was continuously rising.

And because they didn't have enough wealth, audiences unable to go to the scene also voiced their critical opinions from their own homes.

They weren't too anxious. After all, staying at home, they still had other things to do.

Mostly holding a mindset of watching the fun.

"Don't know, no news has been leaked either."

"If it causes a riot on the scene, then the Star Glory Empire will lose face..."

"..."

In reality, the performance wasn't paused for too long. The two Surveillance Fleets present couldn't withstand the pressure and quickly announced the performance would continue.

The search proceeded in secret, it's just that they Gained Nothing.

"Looks like the matter has been handled more or less..." Li Yu nodded to himself. Right at this moment, knocks sounded on the door, a window popped up, and outside was The Hunter.

"What's the matter?" Li Yu inquired.

"Eh? You've awakened?" The Hunter seemed somewhat surprised. This wasn't the first time he knocked on the door during this period, but there had been no reaction.

However, Li Yu was used to being mysterious, so he didn't mind, just coming to knock once every so often.

"Codri is calling you to discuss the next action plans." The Hunter said.

Buzz!

The Blast Door opened, and Li Yu walked out. The Hunter sized him up and down, finding no special changes, and looked into the room again.

In the end, he didn't discover the gossipy scene he wanted to see, a look of disappointment couldn't help but appear on his face.

"Just you yourself?"

"Of course just myself, what are you thinking?" Li Yu's face darkened, saying.

"Nothing..." The Hunter chuckled awkwardly twice.

………

Walking into the Command Center, Codri was already waiting for him here, it's just that his expression looked somewhat strange.

Like The Hunter, he sized Li Yu up and down.

"If any weird words pop out of your mouth too, I'll punch your head and blow it up." Li Yu said grumpily.

"Uh..." Codri was somewhat dumbfounded, then withdrew his gaze, saying tentatively: "I just received secret intelligence from Headquarters."

"Not long ago, a guy named Li Yu Suddenly Appeared within the Star Glory Empire's borders and kidnapped a person from the Morgan Family."

"The Leader told me to ask, is someone impersonating you?"

Li Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. Salvation Ark's information channels were quite well-informed. This matter hadn't happened for long, and they had already received intelligence.

Star Glory Empire? Morgan Family?

The Hunter's expression changed slightly. These two matters made him associate it with Mo Duo.

"It's me." Li Yu nodded and admitted. It wasn't some major matter anyway, and then he added: "I've already killed that guy. Haven't your information channels updated yet?"

"So fast?" Codri was somewhat surprised. "That, not yet."

"I didn't expect Your Excellency to truly be so busy. Taking advantage of the return trip, you could even kill a Noble in the Star Glory Empire."

"Is there anything you need our help with? Within the Star Glory Empire's borders, we also have some forces we can mobilize."

He pondered secretly,What kind of method is this? We've been in the Warp Lane the whole time, it's basically impossible to leave here via remote teleportation.

"Just a minor matter." Li Yu shook his head: "Let's discuss the matter of the Mariano Sector first. Did Marye provide any useful information?"

"There is some. That Base located in the Mariano Sector is an outpost of the Abyss Institute. It's said to be connected to a certain Dimensional World, which might cause some trouble for our operation."

"Oh?" Li Yu was somewhat surprised, Marye actually spoke?

At his life level, conventional interrogation no longer had any effect.

There were also almost no mental methods that could control him. If he himself didn't want to speak, it was very difficult to have a way to pry his mouth open.

Moreover, why didn't he pry any related information about the Dimensional World earlier?

If it was connected to a Dimensional World, it would probably be somewhat troublesome.

"We are considered quite accomplished in Life Technology. We have some special interrogation methods that can barely pry out some information." Codri said modestly, but his tone contained pride.

After all, being able to interrogate a lifeform of this level was enough to prove Salvation Ark's foundation and Strength.

Hearing Codri's words, Li Yu couldn't help but chuckle lightly: "Then did he tell you that the Mariano Sector actually has an additional Tier A4 Lifeform and a Titan Artifact?"

"What?" Codri was stunned for a moment.The Mariano Sector has an additional Tier A4 Lifeform and a Titan Artifact?

Real or fake?

Why didn't they receive any news?

Codri's expression flickered, couldn't help asking: "Can you confirm this news?"

"It's not that I don't believe Your Excellency, it's just that we haven't found any relevant intelligence."

"Marye is right here, can't you just go directly and verify it." Li Yu said casually.

Codri's expression changed, barely forcing a smile, and immediately left the Command Center.

After Codri left, The Hunter then came closer, saying in a low voice: "Mo Duo... she..."

He only said these two words, but Li Yu understood his meaning, nodding and saying: "She's fine."

"That's good..."

The Hunter breathed a long sigh of relief, nodded, and retreated to the side.

Not long after, Codri returned hurriedly, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. Evidently, the news had been verified.

He didn't even use other methods, just telling this news to Marye. The other party's reaction was enough to prove the authenticity of the news.

Codri said angrily: "Damned Marye, evading the crucial points, deliberately concealing this key news, only speaking of the situation of the Dimensional World, just wanting us to be unprepared and pit us..."

"Moreover, this was originally a Trap. They even wanted to swallow our Ark's counterattacking forces too."

Codri originally wanted to act cool in front of Li Yu, revealing Salvation Ark's foundation, but ended up getting slapped in the face instead, almost being pitted by Marye.

This three-party allied force actually wanted to do the Ark a second time here, swallowing Codri and the others too.

Thinking of this, he felt somewhat fortunate inside. If they directly attacked the Mariano Sector at the beginning, these few people of his would probably have fallen right into it.

Wait... Could it be Li Yu knew this news from the beginning?

Their information channels are too terrifying!

This thought suddenly popped into Codri's mind. He glanced at Li Yu, whose expression was indifferent and was looking down at the Star Map, and couldn't help feeling somewhat frightened.

Li Yu didn't think this much. As matters stood, their Strength had increased, so there was no need to conceal this intelligence.

Even if Codri knew, he wouldn't back out, after all, this opportunity was rare.

"If we estimate with our current Strength, then we have no chance of winning... we can only protect ourselves from falling into it." Codri calmed his emotions, pulling up the simulated Star Map.

"The Mariano Sector currently has three Tier A4 Lifeforms, and two unknown Titan Artifacts..."

"Although we have four Tier A4 Lifeforms, we don't have absolute certainty of winning..."

"Moreover, two unknown Titan Artifacts are also very dangerous. If we don't know their functions, it's highly likely we'll overturn the car..."

Codri analyzed carefully, his expression becoming increasingly ugly, "Although Horus can confirm one of them, there's still another..."

"The Black Cross and the Imprisonment Ring..." Li Yu said abruptly.

"What?" Codri still hadn't fully reacted.

"Those two Titan Artifacts, the Black Cross and the Imprisonment Ring..." Li Yu said matter-of-factly, then pulled up a Holographic Screen.

Two lifelike holographic models emerged, held in Li Yu's hands. They were exactly the two Titan Artifacts he peeked at through foreseeing the future back then.

These were the names and data he obtained through Returning Star's Database.

The Titan Artifacts of the major organizations had basically all been used more or less, unless they were newly obtained.

But in the entire Interstellar, where were there so many newly excavated Titan Artifacts.

As long as one saw the specific appearance, matching documentary records could mostly be found.

You know again?

What else is there that you don't know?

Codri was somewhat Speechless, but after the previous successive surprises, his heart was now without any ripples.

"Black Cross––erupts with ultra-high intensity Destructive Energy waves... from the Abyss Institute..."

"Imprisonment Ring––suppresses the activity intensity of lifeforms... from The Fallen City..."

"And there's also a Dimensional World..." Codri frowned deeply, roughly scanning the specific data.

The data for these two things was also in the Ark's Database.

But the power of these two Titan Artifacts was extraordinary. Even if they knew the specific information, they would only avoid being Caught Off Guard, but didn't have any good countermeasures either.

Li Yu pointedly said: "You say they gathered such strong power, what exactly are they preparing to do? Just attacking a few of your Peripheral Outposts, isn't that using a sledgehammer to crack a nut?"

Codri's heart trembled slightly, unsure of what Li Yu was trying to express right now?

After the previous successive "surprises", the astonishing information channels of the Other-Dimensional Camp had already deeply rooted in his heart.

With this kind of information channel, would they not know about the Titan Sanctuary?

Codri didn't dare to think deeply, but even if the Other-Dimensional Camp knew, under these circumstances, he could only pretend to know nothing.

Uniting with the Other-Dimensional Camp, whether it was driving the tiger to swallow the wolf, or inviting the wolf into the house, was still unknown.

Li Yu also didn't pursue the question. Some things, it was enough to Know full well. If brought to the surface, it would instead look bad.

The main thing was, the Other-Dimensional Camp was a bluff he pulled out. If he really pushed any side into desperation, he truly couldn't handle it.

Codri frowned tightly. The hidden power in the Mariano Sector exceeded imagination, making him somewhat worried.

"I will have Headquarters dispatch Titan Artifacts over. We must teach them a lesson this time!" The Blast Door opened, and Yasini walked in, his expression cold.

The three-party allied forces simply didn't put them in their eyes. A surprise attack on their temporary outposts was one thing.

Now they even wanted to pit them a second time!?

If they could endure this, how could they still survive in the world.

The most crucial thing was, now was a rare opportunity.

They captured Marye, and their own Strength wasn't weak. Coupled with a Titan Artifact, they could definitely give them an unforgettable memory forever.

"Hmm..." Li Yu revealed a look of contemplation, "If you two are so resolute, I actually have a way to handle that Dimensional World..."

"However, it might require your help. First, I need to know if the Ark System can provide Ultra-Large Scale Energy Augmentation..."

His words attracted everyone's gazes.

………

A few days later... somewhere within the Star Glory Empire's borders, a certain prison.

"I wasn't the one who killed Your Excellency Bianchi, I'm innocent..."

"I also don't know what I was doing at the time..."

"I am truly innocent, you can mind control me, then interrogate me!"

Pucha was imprisoned in a special Cage, continuously shouting, his heart full of panic.

He wasn't someone who was fearless of life and death, otherwise he wouldn't have betrayed his Ethnic Group back then.

So, when he found that after waking up, he was holding Bianchi's head in his hand, his heart was incomparably horrified.

He had no idea what exactly happened, nor was anyone willing to listen to his explanation, and he was directly locked up here.

"We have already conducted detailed tests on him, indeed there are no traces of being mind-controlled."

Outside the Cage, there were a few people staring at the continuously wailing Pucha with indifferent expressions.

"Unsurprising, if Normal testing could discover traces, that Idiot Bianchi wouldn't have been taken hostage."

"Li Yu's methods have always been very special."

The leading person sneered. When mentioning Bianchi, he seemed exceptionally contemptuous.

"How is the investigation on that Burning Eye Star woman?" He asked again.

"No clues at all, only tracked to the Red Maple Star Hall. There are too many people there, difficult to conduct a detailed check..."

"Heh, Olivia returning to the Star Glory Empire Bafflingly, I'm afraid it's inextricably linked to this matter." He said coldly.

A subordinate said in a low voice: "Lord Vissa was present, without evidence, it wasn't easy to directly apprehend people at the time."

He didn't touch on this topic, instead shaking his head and saying: "What a pity, such a good situation, completely could have used that woman to make a big fuss, all ruined by this Idiot Bianchi."

"The Blazing Eye Star is still there, perhaps..." The subordinate said in a low voice.

That person scolded: "Are you also an Idiot? Or are you taking Li Yu for an Idiot? He dared to directly kill Bianchi, he is precisely telling us that Blazing Eye Star is not his Handle!"

"Directly destroy it, I have no time to waste on this small planet."

"Your Excellency, perhaps I can be responsible for this matter..." In the shadows, a person walked out, saying in a low voice.

"You're still so eager for this kind of thing, then I'll leave it to you, Dark Star." That person glanced at the other party, his attitude slightly softening. Right now, Dark Star was a popular figure under him.

Just destroying a planet, handing this minor matter to the other party, there wasn't any problem.

"Many thanks, Your Excellency..." Dark Star bowed slightly, his expression flickering.
