Chapter 548: Justice from Above!

"Your Excellency's temper seems to be quite big." Li Yu walked out of the Dimensional Rift, his tone relaxed.

"Li Yu..." Crystal Emperor's eyes slightly narrowed, then he said coldly: "Within half a month, successively attacking eight Peripheral Outposts, are you trying to start a war with us?"

Li Yu shrugged, not caring at all: "Your Excellency Crystal Emperor is exaggerating. I only attacked a few of your Peripheral Outposts, why the need to have such a big temper."

Just a few Peripheral Outposts?

Listen, is this Sensible Talk? If it was just Peripheral Outposts then so be it, but you wiped those Dimensional Worlds completely clean.

This caused them to lose seven advanced lifeforms, as well as the assets within the Dimensional Worlds, and many research projects had to be stopped. The comprehensive losses were difficult to estimate.

The crystals all over Crystal Emperor's body gradually turned red, seemingly indicating that his mood right now was not too good.

"Since you want to start a war, then we will certainly accompany you to the end. Today... I'll take back some interest first." Crystal Emperor extended a crystal blade from one hand, preparing to obliterate this Mechanical Lifeform.

"Wait..." Li Yu shouted.

You tell me to wait, and I wait, wouldn't I lose a lot of face?

"Don't you want to know how I learned the coordinates of these outposts?" Li Yu suddenly said.

Crystal Emperor's movements paused, then he looked at Li Yu, his tone inexplicable: "I didn't expect you to be so benevolent to your subordinates, actually preparing to betray your Ally to save him."

"However, you clearly miscalculated." Crystal Emperor sneered: "Isn't it just The Reformers? This bunch of Sewer Mice, provoking the Star Glory Empire isn't enough, they actually dare to Provoke Trouble with us."

"Oh... so you knew." Li Yu was somewhat surprised, secretly turning on the Recording, saving the trouble of Husband falsely accusing him of leaking the information later.

"Reverse deduction. These Peripheral Outposts you attacked were all under the leadership of a certain High Echelon. With a slight Screening, a few suspects could be listed, and The Reformers are the most suspicious target."

"Otherwise, how did you think I knew you would attack here?"

Li Yu suddenly understood. So this was that low-probability event. The other party found out his source of information, thereby reverse-locking onto the outposts he might attack, and then arriving in advance.

"Are your methods ready?" Crystal Emperor suddenly asked.

"Hmm?" Li Yu's expression was somewhat confused.

"Stop pretending, aren't you deliberately stalling for time to prepare your methods? Let me experience them..." Crystal Emperor directly called it out.

"So you knew, then why did you cooperate with me so much?" Li Yu was somewhat puzzled.

"Because..." Crystal Emperor suddenly raised his head, brilliant colors flashing in his crystal pupils, "I was also stalling for time!"

In an instant, he disappeared from his spot. The next moment, a crystal fragment in front of Li Yu trembled, then rapidly proliferated at a speed difficult to observe with the naked eye.

A crystal blade pierced out from within. This inconspicuous crystal fragment had existed on the battlefield from the very beginning.

It looked like it had been scattered nearby due to the previous battle.

But in reality, Crystal Emperor completely crushed Lingbao in terms of life level, and it was impossible for him to be damaged.

These crystal fragments were deliberately scattered by him. Through these crystal fragments, he could instantly launch an attack.

However, it required a period of preparation time, which was why he said so much to Li Yu.

This wasn't a dedicated ambush. Crystal Emperor appearing here was also a coincidence.

There were many potential targets for Li Yu to attack, and the Abyss Institute didn't have that many A4-tier lifeforms that could be distributed out.

Catching Lingbao was an unexpected harvest. Crystal Emperor didn't think he could expand the battle results, but he didn't mind trying.

Clang!

Piercing light bloomed between the two. Crystal Emperor's control over power was extremely top-notch. The crystal blade converged into a single point, piercing onto the purple Protective Shield surrounding Li Yu.

Crack!

The [Power Gem] flickered with a faint light, cracks surfacing on the purple Protective Shield. The intensity of Crystal Emperor's attack exceeded expectations.

In a rush, Li Yu could only barely defend.

"You chatted with me for so long, where are your prepared methods?" Crystal Emperor's crystal face was close at hand, revealing a human-like sneer: "Don't tell me you really wanted to use intelligence information to trade your subordinate back."

"Wait a moment..." Li Yu raised his other hand, slightly frowning, and then suddenly smiled brightly: "It's here, Justice from Above!"

Crystal Emperor's pupils slightly contracted, a strong sense of unease welling up in his heart.

What attack!?

Emitted from where!?

Above!

He abruptly looked up. As expected, a straight black Light Beam was shooting towards him. When he looked up, it was already close at hand.

Instantly, a massive amount of crystals proliferated. His entire person turned into a colorful crystal egg.

The special crystal structure refracted external light, while also able to distribute the force to other areas to resist external attacks.

Boom!

The black ray descending from the sky struck. The intense Energy Reaction instantly formed an explosion point on the spot.

Black Energy continuously gathered. The Black Cross ray, Amplified by [Hawkeye's Emblem], had an attack that could not be underestimated.

In the blink of an eye, the Ground was blasted into a massive Ring Mountain, and the edges were still expanding continuously. Black ripples continuously spread across the surface of the semi-circular energy mass.

Fierce winds howled, sand and stones splattered. Web-like cracks continuously expanded across the planet's surface.

And the moment the Energy Beam fell, Li Yu had already shifted his position. Holding the half-dead Lingbao in his hand, he pulled up to a distant orbit in the sky.

Rumble!

The distant sound seemed to come from the borders of interstellar space. This was because the escaping air of the planet caused the sound transmission to be discontinuous.

The planet beneath their feet completely exploded in the southeast hemisphere. The crystal egg was pushed deep into the planet. Crimson Magma spewed out from the bottomless ravines on the Ground, with Dark Radiance mixed within.

Finally, as this last streak of black light fell, the entire planet exploded like an egg. The Planetary Core Magma came into contact with cold space and rapidly cooled into black unidentified substances.

The Residual Energy continued to spread, causing tremors on several nearby Barren Planets.

The Combat System instantly scanned the entire area. In the location densely packed with planetary fragments, Li Yu found the crystal egg that had already turned black.

"Still not dead, this guy is quite formidable..." Li Yu slightly raised his eyebrows. That black crystal egg rapidly cracked open, and Crystal Emperor walked out from within.

It could be clearly seen that his surface was covered in cracks, and colorless liquid escaped from them. Even if he wasn't dead now, he probably only had half his life left.

Where the f*ck did this attack come from!?

Why were there no premonitions of the attack?

No, he suddenly remembered, not long ago he indeed had a feeling of unease, as if he was being aimed at by something.

That was at least several minutes before the attack descended.

Moreover, he had already shifted his position. How did this energy attack seem to lock onto him, descending so accurately.

Did Li Yu already anticipate that he would sneak attack at that time!?

Crystal Emperor's heart was filled with terror. Without any hesitation, he crushed a certain crystal in his hand, forcefully tearing open a Spatial Channel, and left this place without hesitation.

The next moment, invisible Spatial Fluctuation swept over, locking the space here, but it was still a step too late.

Pretty fast movements, Li Yu muttered a couple of sentences. Originally he wanted to see if he could keep this big fish behind.

However, the other party's reaction was quite fast, not giving him this opportunity.

"Primordial Celestial Sovereign, it was me who was too careless, resulting in being captured, almost causing you to be injured too." Lingbao said ashamedly. His own death was no big deal.

But if the Creator suffered even the slightest injury, then he could never forgive himself.

"It has nothing to do with you. The Abyss Institute should have also reacted by now. It will probably be troublesome to act so unscrupulously from now on."

Li Yu shook his head. The Abyss Institute's reaction time was faster than he estimated.

But, they were a top-tier interstellar faction after all, he couldn't treat them like Idiots.

"Next, they will definitely disperse their forces to defend the Dimensional Worlds whose coordinates might have been leaked. In that case... the defensive strength of the Light Dimension will inevitably be reduced..."

This was his goal. He definitely couldn't sit by and watch Shadow Demon become a Tier A5 Lifeform.

It was just that the Light-Shadow Dimension Fusion was the top priority the Abyss Institute had been planning for the past hundred years.

They would inevitably defend it strictly. So he first stirred up trouble, provoking the Abyss Institute, making them think Li Yu was targeting their Dimensional Worlds. This was their fundamental base, they couldn't afford not to defend it.

And just when they were Unable to Quit, Li Yu would then strike straight at the heart.

This was Killing Two Birds With One Stone. Not only did it advance the Gene Chain Progress, but it also dispersed the Abyss Institute's forces.

"Even so... it's not a simple matter, still need to get a few Cannon Fodder... no... Allies..." Li Yu's eyes flickered, muttering to himself:

"This matter is not urgent, let's Devour the Dimensional World before our eyes first."

Although the planet exploded, the Dimensional World here was not affected.

Not long after, Li Yu returned to the Jade Void Palace, and then returned to Returning Star through the Jade Void Palace.

Regarding the candidate for an Ally, he already had a very suitable one, which was the Salvation Ark.

The Abyss Institute recently messed with their Peripheral Outposts, forging quite a big grudge. Although they retaliated, they definitely didn't want to see the Abyss Institute's Strength greatly increase.

However, out of caution, he also planned to develop The Reformers, to see if he could pull them in as well.

After returning to the Central Star System, he received two reports.

Anthony had returned. This Snake-person had been wandering outside for a long time, and after Li Yu had no tasks to issue him, he also returned to the Central Star System.

After a simple meeting, Li Yu brought him into the Jade Void Palace for a work handover.

He planned to develop an intelligence network. He couldn't always rely on the intelligence information of other organizations.

He planned to put Siegel in charge, and let Anthony, this old snake, assist him. In the early stages, they would borrow Returning Star's intelligence network, and after developing, they would break away on their own.

"I will definitely not fail the important task!" Anthony was excited, feeling his cold blood heat up quite a bit.

Patting his shoulder, after Anthony left, Li Yu then looked at Hunter: "When is Tu Ying coming back?"

The other report message was that Tu Ying was also returning.

Previously, when Li Yu went to Meditation to receive the legacy, this Little Demon Giant couldn't bear the loneliness. Being idle in the Jade Void Palace was too boring, so he went out to gain experience.

As an Artificial Five-Blood Troll, his progress was terrifying. When he left, he had already undergone Metamorphosis into a B-Tier Lifeform. His Strength was formidable, and under normal circumstances, enough for self-preservation.

Li Yu treated him as a nephew, valuing him quite a bit. The little guy had extraordinary potential, and would definitely achieve great things in the future.

"Should be in these two days..." Hunter glanced at the Smart Terminal, and added: "Right, he's coming back this time mainly to report something to you."

"Oh?" Li Yu was somewhat surprised, what could Tu Ying have to report?

"Recently he occasionally feels a patch of golden symbols appearing before his eyes, not sure what's going on..."

Li Yu's eyes slightly condensed, seemingly thinking of something.

………

Outside the Central Star System, the Stargate operated. A large number of Spaceships were spat out from the glowing blue vortex. Under the management of Artificial Intelligence, they underwent orderly inspections according to specific orbits.

And among them, a few Spaceships with mottled exteriors but coated in black and red seemed somewhat out of place.

"A Troll, insisting on coming to Returning Star's Capital, isn't this asking for trouble?"

In the middlemost Spaceship, a hot-figured, blue-skinned Porter Race said angrily. She crossed her arms, squeezing her chest until it bulged.

The scars on her face ruined her delicate beauty. On both sides of her cheeks there were four ears, twitching occasionally, seemingly capturing the movements around them.

"Also, Boss, you're also messing around with him. Is this a place people like us can come to?"

The interstellar human called Boss laughed foolishly: "Sanna, look at what you're saying, we don't have any bounties in Returning Star, why can't we come."

"Paka wants to go home and take a look, and coincidentally we don't have any commissions temporarily, just dropping him off, there won't be any trouble."

"Hmph, I really can't figure it out, why would a Troll immigrate to Returning Star. Returning Star's disgust for Trolls is known throughout the entire interstellar space..." Sanna frowned.

The Troll called Paka didn't say a word, appearing very silent, just staring at the massive Star System in the distance, a trace of expectation revealing in his eyes.

"Sanna, your resentment is almost enough to summon evil spirits, still haven't calmed down?" Someone teased. More than half of his body had been modified into machinery, the sound of energy operation buzzing:

"Paka isn't even fourteen yet, and you went up to confess so wildly, no one could stand it. You can't blame him for refusing."

"Scram, you'll die if you don't speak, right!" Sanna was exposed, furiously angry, clearly somewhat flustered and ashamed.

Who the f*ck knew that guy wasn't even fourteen yet! What Troll under fourteen could be this strong!?

Paka's expression was also somewhat awkward, lowering his head and not saying a word.
