Chapter 553: [Black Widow] and [Damage Nullification]

~12 min read 2,351 words

Stepping out of the Dimensional Rift, the several people in the room simultaneously looked at him.

Hunter had opened the Dimensional Rift directly in the meeting room. Looking around, Li Yu slightly raised his eyebrows; everyone present was an old acquaintance.

This time, the Salvation Ark team was still led by Codri, followed by Yasini, who wore a hypocritical smile on his face.

There was also an unfamiliar lifeform with a powerful Life Aura, having gray skin and standing only about one meter tall. He seemed to belong to a certain Dwarf race.

Heavy Hammer - Felon Hill, a Tier A4 Lifeform, Gray Stone Dwarf. This was a mutant race among Dwarves; they possessed boundless strength and were born with full-level mastery over various Melee Weapons.

Some information surfaced in Li Yu's mind. The Salvation Ark seemed to value this operation quite highly, dispatching three Tier A4 Lifeforms.

In fact, the Salvation Ark was also playing Petty Schemes. Their life technology had reached a bottleneck to a certain extent.

They didn't mind developing Dimensional Technology a bit, hoping to snatch something from the Abyss Institute.

If they could snatch core technology like Dimensional Fusion, they would make a huge profit.

The main goal this time was sabotage. Because the specific fusion time was unknown, the Salvation Ark hadn't brought a large-scale fleet to avoid attracting attention.

The total number of battleships on both sides added up to less than ten, but all dispatched were elites.

"Do you have any thoughts regarding this operation?" Li Yu asked casually. After all, the Salvation Ark was an established faction, and their opinions were worth listening to.

Codri piled a smile on his old face, casually swiped out a Holographic Screen, and said: "This is the partial information we have grasped regarding the Light-Shadow Dimension Fusion. We are sharing it over now."

"For this operation, Your Excellency is the leader. You only need to issue orders, and we will do our utmost to execute them."

Li Yu's expression was odd. Why were the words of this Old Fellow Codri so... sycophantic?

"Since that's the case, then I won't be polite." Li Yu casually grabbed the Holographic Screen and glanced at the information on it.

Most of it was valueless stuff, like Hyperspace Linkage Channels, or that Dr. Sagura was the leader... miscellaneous information like her fondness for green plants and cultivating various plants in the Laboratory.

Critical information, such as the coordinates of the Light Dimension or the specific fusion time, was completely absent.

"I have basically determined the coordinates of the Light Dimension. However, the other party will definitely guard it strictly. If we launch a direct attack without knowing the exact fusion time, it will instead put us at a disadvantage."

"Right... right..." Codri nodded.

"However, due to my previous raid operations, they have already dispersed their forces. If we act swiftly enough, they won't be able to react in a short time either."

"Exactly... exactly..."

Li Yu glanced at Codri: "My plan is to first attack another Dimensional Outpost. After drawing their attention over, we will use the Jade Void Palace to shift our position."

"Forcefully launch a surprise attack, and then use your Ark System to rapidly multiply my flower to Devour the entire Light Dimension."

"This is the general plan. Do any of you have anything to add?" Li Yu inquired. This brief plan was too rough and definitely had many shortcomings.

It was also only an ideal progression scenario. The Abyss Institute weren't zombies; they would definitely make countermeasures against various situations.

"None, I think this plan is perfect." Codri voiced out immediately. Anyway, there was no part in this plan that required him to take risks; he just needed to wait for the final general assault.

Moreover, after the last experience, Codri subconsciously believed that Li Yu would definitely have a way to solve any seemingly unreasonable points.

For example, questions like how much resistance force the Abyss Institute had, or how to specifically handle them.

Codri didn't ask. He believed that when the time came, all difficulties would be Smoothly solved.

Li Yu stared at Codri.You cooperating like this really makes me somewhat unaccustomed to it.

Li Yu glanced at his Smart Terminal and said: "Alright, let's head to the Light Dimension first. That place is in the Baltan Galaxy, which is quite a distance from here."

No one had any objections, and they each left. He himself hurriedly returned to his room.

After days of continuous operation of the Decoding Program, the 536 Runes were finally completely analyzed.

Among them, 276 belonged to Li Yu, and the rest belonged to Tu Ying. The ratio of the two was about 1:1.

"...The sanctuary of the Knowledge Titan, forged by the 'Fire Digger' Karles, enshrines the Mirror of Omniscience within..."

"...Exploration of the Universe has never stopped. We built Dimensional Ships to sail afar, continuously exploring new frontiers and contacting new civilizations..."

"...The forging method of the Chapter of Flame..."

"...The Royal Blood Titans are a bunch of Idiots..."

"...We never expected to encounter such an enemy..."

The language within was intermittent and difficult to fully translate into a single sentence.

Li Yu frowned and examined them carefully. The 276 Runes belonging to him mostly spoke about matters concerning the Knowledge Titan branch race, as well as some miscellaneous affairs and knowledge.

The Knowledge Titan sanctuary should be the tenth Titan Sanctuary, and the Titan Artifact stored within was precisely the Mirror of Omniscience.

This Titan Sanctuary should have been obtained by the Loren Family, which was why Loren could control the Mirror of Omniscience.

Furthermore, the Dimensional Ship Technology seemed to be inextricably linked to the Knowledge Titans.

There was also the most crucial sentence.

"We never expected to encounter such a civilization..."

The text was filled with surprise and sighing.

Such a civilization? The enemy of the Titan Civilization? The culprit that led to their destruction?

Li Yu had no way of knowing. The strength of the Titan Civilization was unquestionable. Every Titan Artifact touched upon the Rules of the universe and could even alter them.

But even so, they were still destroyed, and even the Mirror of Omniscience was fragmented.

The information was incomplete, but these were all the Golden Runes Li Yu had seen.

After pondering for a moment, he turned his gaze to the symbols Tu Ying had seen.

"...We are peace-loving Titans..."

"...Experiment No. 17778, this new race has extremely strong genetic adaptability to ours. We implanted a certain deep-level Gene into their Genetics..."

"...This might create Titans postnatally, but it aroused dissatisfaction among some of our kin..."

"...***********..." What followed was a string of coordinate codes.

The naming conventions were quite different from the current Interstellar Universe, likely following the coordinate naming conventions of the Titan Civilization.

The common language of the Titan Civilization and some foundational data were no secret to the current Li Yu.

He easily found the corresponding information in the Database and made comparisons.

"According to the Star Map, it should be within the territory of the Sishank Civilization..." Li Yu's eyes raised slightly. "As expected, it is near the Star Glory Empire. In other words, the Salvation Ark calculated the coordinates using the same method."

"In their hands, they also have something that can open the Titan Sanctuary, or a lifeform similar to Tu Ying..."

Previously, the data he snatched from the Mariano Sector explicitly stated that the Salvation Ark already knew the location of the Fourteenth Titan Sanctuary was near the Star Glory Empire.

That the Salvation Ark had a similar lifeform was not surprising to Li Yu.

Thirteen Titan Sanctuaries had already appeared. If no one could find a way to open them, how could the Loren Family have obtained the Mirror of Omniscience?

The Sishank Civilization was a service-oriented civilization because their territory contained massive Cosmic Volcano clusters and Interstellar Glaciers.

Using these as attractions, they built corresponding scenic spots around these two Galactic Forbidden Zones, thereby attracting a massive number of Interstellar Tourists every year.

"This civilization is actually quite close to Amethyst..." Li Yu pondered secretly.

There was no rush for this matter. In fact, even if he was in a rush, it would be useless. Although he grasped the rough coordinates and location.

He didn't know how to manifest the Titan Sanctuary from the so-called High-Dimensional Information State. Just holding the key without a lock was useless.

However, with what he currently grasped, he far surpassed most factions.

Moreover, Tu Ying was a secret weapon. Everyone knew the Salvation Ark had a method. Overtly and covertly, who knew how many pairs of eyes were staring at them.

Yet no one knew that Li Yu had already walked to the forefront.

"Eh... In that case, maybe when the time comes, I can push the Salvation Ark out to attract attention..."

Li Yu's expression stirred slightly. He immediately opened his memo and recorded this suddenly popping idea in his little notebook.

About ten days later, the group arrived at the Baltan Galaxy, which was a super-large civilization activity area composed of four Star Sectors.

There were over three hundred civilizations here. Headed by two large civilizations, they formed the Baltan Alliance.

Occupying a seat in the Civilization Alliance, their overall Strength was not to be underestimated.

They sneaked into this area without going through the official entry channels to avoid leaking information.

"It's only been a few days, and another two are dead. Number Two's action speed is too fast."

Li Yu opened the [System Log] and couldn't help but complain.

At the same time, two glittering rewards were waiting for him to extract.

[Black Widow: As a legendary agent, Natasha has countless undercover experiences. When you use an undercover identity that is not your own appearance, almost no one will doubt you.]

[Damage Nullification: No one can directly kill Captain America; even Thanos wearing the Infinity Gauntlet has to fight him for two or three rounds. After selecting a target, his power will be unable to cause damage to you, and your power will also be unable to cause damage to him. Duration - Five minutes, Cooldown - Three days.]

Clearly, taking out Hawkeye last time made the Avengers anxious. They sent more people to hunt down Number Two.

And Number Two was always very decisive when handling problems. Even if it was a popular character, he had no hesitation and killed them directly.

This time he killed Natasha and Captain America. These two rewards were absolutely powerful.

Killing protagonist-type characters was indeed the way to get the highest rewards.

After so much "companionship," Li Yu had roughly figured out the behavioral habits of these few Crazy Bastard Avatars.

When Number One considered matters, his thoughts were basically shameless ideas like "Are there women?", "Are there many?", "Can they endure?".

Number Two's thoughts were cowardly ideas like "Is there trouble?", "Is there a lot of trouble?", "How can I deal with the trouble?".

Previously, when deployed to the [Marvel World], the fact that this Old Fellow could stay in the Hydra Base for so long was enough proof.

Number Three was rather strange. He generally considered "Does this woman look like my first love?", and his first love had no specific standard; it just depended on his mood.

Anyway, these few Crazy Bastards never thought of actively completing tasks.

Looking at this [Black Widow], Li Yu had some ideas in his heart.

Originally, his idea was to deploy the Flower of Devourment to the Light Dimension during battle, which was a bit risky.

After all, the Abyss Institute definitely knew he had a method to destroy Dimension worlds.

They couldn't be like Shadow Demon last time, suspicious and unclear, allowing him to act and missing the best opportunity.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought of sneaking into the Light Dimension and setting things up in advance before.

However, relying solely on Sabbac, although it could tear open the Dimensional Wall, the Light Dimension was definitely heavily guarded, and he might not have the chance to secretly deploy it.

But now, [Black Widow] gave him a new idea.

Moreover, Li Yu pondered secretly, to a certain extent, the Flower of Devourment was also a part of his body, originating from his Genetic Structure.

He wondered if [Damage Nullification] could be applied to the Flower of Devourment.

"Plans really can't keep up with changes..." Li Yu muttered a couple of sentences, then summoned everyone and announced the new plan.

"You want to sneak inside?" Yasini frowned: "Wouldn't that be too risky? This concerns the foundation and development of the Abyss Institute. If you are discovered, it will be troublesome."

Felon said in a deep voice: "That's right. Although your original plan was rough, it wasn't without the possibility of success. If you sneak in alone now, the risk is too high."

"I agree..." Codri said immediately, his tone profound: "The Abyss Institute will definitely not discover Your Excellency Li Yu."

Li Yu was somewhat Baffling. Was the impact of their last cooperation that great? If people didn't know, they'd think you found out I was using cheats.

Yasini was quite Speechless, not knowing what exactly was wrong with this colleague of his.

Felon glanced at Codri. The Chibi Giant couldn't be bothered with him; he already found Codri somewhat displeasing to the eye.

While Codri appeared brain-damaged on the surface, he actually had deeper thoughts.

That was to save effort and sponge Merit. Since he didn't need to sneak in anyway, agreeing with a few sentences wouldn't kill anyone.

Moreover, after dealing with Li Yu multiple times, his confidence in Li Yu was not fake either.

If he sponged Merit a few more times, maybe he'd also have a chance at being the next Navigator.

"I indeed have a special method, you guys don't need to worry." Li Yu said.

Seeing him so resolute, the others didn't say anything more. Li Yu didn't delay any longer, immediately pinpointed the specific coordinates, and piloted a Small Aircraft alone to head there.
