Chapter 559: Bewildered Shadow Demon
The commotion of the Dimension Fusion was huge, and the external Cosmic Space was inevitably affected. The Spatial Coefficient continuously fluctuated, and the Outer Space Layer surged like water waves.
It felt as if some massive entity was about to burst out from the depths of space. This conflicting sensation of spaces colliding made one's scalp tingle involuntarily.
And Abyssal Head's expression abruptly changed drastically, his six eyes simultaneously bursting with entirely different radiances.
This situation clearly indicated that the Dimension Fusion had already begun, but he had already issued an order for Sagura not to proceed with the Dimension Fusion.
Could Sagura have betrayed him?
The moment this speculation surfaced, he snuffed it out. Sagura was a research fanatic, especially after learning the concept of Dimension Fusion.
She was almost even more eager than him, the Leader.
Under these circumstances, it was highly unlikely she would betray him.
"This is your doing!"
Although the distance between the two was far, for lifeforms of their tier, they could still see clearly.
The anger in Abyssal Head's heart spewed out through his six differently colored eyes.
Neither he nor Death Star could do anything to the other. Although, from overall combat power, Abyssal Head held the upper hand.
But with Death Star wielding two Titan Artifacts, they could still fight back and forth.
The other high-level lifeforms of the Abyss Institute still hadn't figured out what was exactly going on.
Why was Abyssal Head so angry, especially after the Dimension Fusion had started.
Wasn't this exactly their goal?
This area of Cosmic Space mutated further, spatial fragments scattered, and the Light Dimension began to appear in the Main Universe.
The thick Dimensional Wall flashed with dazzling brilliance, like a newly born star, possessing vigorous vitality.
Only, a gap emerged at the top of the irregularly oval-shaped Light Dimension, and the Hyperspace Link Channel went deep into space, pulling out another massive Dimension World——
The Shadow Dimension!
The pitch-black ink-like shadow power was like a drop of water cast into hot oil, instantly triggering an intense reaction from the entire Light Dimension.
A large amount of light power was drawn, involuntarily heading toward the surging shadow power, wanting to annihilate this Heterogeneous Energy.
But as the precise Instruments embedded everywhere in the Light Dimension operated, invisible fluctuations resonated at a special spectrum, starting to make the light power enter a dormant state.
And they released special chaos-colored particles, acting as a lubricant for the Dimension Fusion.
Making two completely different powers fuse was obviously not a minor issue.
It might be doable in a high-level laboratory, but these were two massive Dimension Worlds. Achieving this required a huge price.
The power of the Shadow Dimension was controlled by Shadow Demon, making it non-aggressive, but for the Light Dimension, they could only find ways to make its Energy Attribute enter a dormant state.
Then let the two Dimension Worlds undergo Initial Fusion, their energies mixing together yet remaining distinct.
Then having Shadow Demon simultaneously control the Light Dimension's Dimensional Consciousness. At that time, it would be like two hands fighting each other, and the operation would be relatively simple.
This was the general train of thought; the specific implementation required a massive amount of experimental work.
At the same time, a ghastly black shadow emerged from the shadow power, taking a concrete Corporeal Form. It was exactly Shadow Demon. He let out a low, hoarse sound, suppressing anger and excitement:
"Finally, it succeeded. Li Yu... I want you dead!?"
He had always been inside the Shadow Dimension, waiting for the order to fuse, and then precisely manipulating the Dimension power to avoid too much energy conflict with the Light Dimension.
The two Dimension Worlds had already prepared everything for fusion, and Shadow Demon could only play a supplementary role in it.
But while waiting, he suddenly received news that Li Yu had led a surprise attack on the Light Dimension, wanting to sabotage this Dimension Fusion.
Cutting off one's path forward was even more detestable than Killing Parents.
If this Dimension Fusion succeeded, Shadow Demon would have a very high probability of becoming a Tier A5 Lifeform, standing at the top of the entire Interstellar food chain.
Li Yu suddenly rushing out to cause trouble was cutting off his path, it was a Fight to the death!
Fortunately, it seemed the Leader was quite reliable, stopping Li Yu and giving them the opportunity for Dimension Fusion.
He secretly made up his mind that once successful, he must make Li Yu die here, settling both new grudges and old scores together.
Even if there was some Other-Dimensional Camp behind him, so what?
At worst, they would just hide first until the Dimension Tech thoroughly matured, and their Strength rose to another level.
Even against the Other-Dimensional Camp, they wouldn't be afraid!
These thoughts flashed through Shadow Demon's mind, and then he prepared to precisely control the power of the Shadow Dimension to slowly begin merging with the Light Dimension.
However, when his gaze swept across the Light Dimension, his originally excited expression suddenly stiffened on his face, his eyes filled with disbelief.
He saw that two-thirds of the Light Dimension's territory was covered with alluring flowers.
And those flowers were continuously expanding their boundaries at an astonishing speed.
Shadow Demon was all too familiar with this kind of flower. Last time, it was because of this flower devouring the Shadow Dimension's power that the Dimension Fusion time had to be postponed.
But... how could the Light Dimension also!?
His heart was bewildered. In the next moment, the black shadow flashed, and he disappeared from this place.
When he reappeared, he was already outside the Light Dimension.
Due to the spatial disorder caused by the Dimension Fusion, the battlefield had to be divided.
This also caused the battle to ease down. They all understood that whether the Dimension Fusion succeeded or failed had little to do with them; they mainly served as background decorations.
Shadow Demon was somewhat bewildered. His gaze instantly locked onto Li Yu, but he was intimidated by the astonishing Aura on the other party's body.
What the hell... is going on here?
This red sun was Li Yu; the Energy Aura on his body was far too astonishing!?
He clearly wasn't this strong last time. What on earth did he eat to grow like this?
Even though he wasn't a conventional lifeform, he still felt his brain buzzing.
"Leader, what... is exactly going on here!?" He saw the Leader currently in a stalemate with Death Star again, and couldn't help but ask using Mental Fluctuation.
"Can't you see what's going on? Your Excellency Li Yu is treating our Abyss Institute as a soft persimmon to pinch however he likes."
Abyssal Head was also furious.
Li Yu could devour the power of a Dimension World through that special kind of flower, and then use it to strengthen himself.
In his understanding, the Other-Dimensional Camp definitely controlled Dimension Worlds themselves.
But they weren't willing to damage their own interests and destroy the Dimension Worlds they controlled.
And the Abyss Institute, which also built its foundation on exploring Dimension Worlds, intruded into their line of sight and became their experimental target to crazily milk.
This time, they not only planned to sabotage the Dimension Fusion and devour the Light Dimension, but also planned to destroy the Shadow Dimension.
Harboring the idea of Killing Multiple Birds With One Stone.
Because since the establishment of the Dimension Fusion Project by the Institute, they had used the Shadow Dimension and the Light Dimension as experimental samples.
Most experimental data was based on these two Dimension Worlds.
Only after these two Dimension Worlds fused successfully and gained experience, operating other Dimension Worlds would be much simpler.
If these two Dimension Worlds were destroyed simultaneously, not to mention making the Dimension Fusion Project completely scrapped, it would also cause them to waste tens, nearly a hundred years of time.
How venomous were their intentions!?
Shadow Demon didn't quite understand the specific process, but he also knew that the Dimension Fusion seemed to have fallen through. His Corporeal Form fluctuated, clearly not calm.
The Dimension Fusion channel had already started; no matter which side terminated it, it would cause unimaginable damage.
"Shadow Demon!" Abyssal Head's voice rang in his ear, "Return to the Light Dimension and take Dr. Sagura away. You must guarantee her safety."
"Yes..." Shadow Demon forced himself to brace up, his gloomy gaze sweeping past Li Yu.
Sagura was the third person in charge of the Dimension Fusion Project, and also the one to wrap things up.
The knowledge stored in her brain almost covered the entire Dimension Fusion Project. Guaranteeing her safety was to prepare for the future, and also to avoid her being acquired by the other party.
His figure disappeared from here again. The battlefield had basically stabilized.
The high-level lifeforms of both sides believed the battle situation was now set, and there was no need to continue fighting.
Yasini retreated back to Li Yu's side. The gap between his opponent and him was the largest, basically without any pressure.
He looked at Li Yu with some surprise, not expecting this operation to be so smooth.
He fought for a bit, and the plan succeeded bafflingly.
Codri grinned, secretly praising his own wisdom. That bunch of Idiots in the organization would definitely regret it immensely once they knew the result.
Just as he guessed, without expending much effort or brainpower, the Merit just fell into his hands like this.
And the battle between Death Star and Abyssal Head was no longer deadlocked. Both sides were consciously withdrawing, with a large number of planetary fragments swirling around them.
A large chunk of the nearby star had already been extinguished, with a huge gap; that was accidentally caught in Death Star's Dim Annihilation cannon.
The entire star system's ecology was basically destroyed, and the other nearby star systems were also affected to varying degrees.
The Baltan Galaxy had sounded the highest alarm. The nearest fleet had already arrived, but they were terrified by the peak Energy Fluctuation in the battlefield and fundamentally didn't dare to approach, only daring to roam on the periphery.
………
In the Light Dimension, Shadow Demon's figure appeared in the core Laboratory. Many Senior Researchers were startled, only Sagura glanced at him without much reaction.
"Doctor, follow me out of here first." Even though Shadow Demon was very displeased, he was still fairly polite to Sagura.
And Boriel's eye sockets had already swollen up, yet he himself didn't know what was going on.
He only felt a moment of trance, and when he woke up again, he saw a tender pink fist smashing over.
"What exactly is going on with this flower?" Sagura inquired.
Shadow Demon's face looked very bad, but he still explained: "This flower can devour the power of a Dimension World and strengthen the main body. It comes from Li Yu."
"He should want to devour the Light Dimension, and then forcefully devour the Light Dimension during the fusion process, thereby causing immense damage to the Shadow Dimension."
Sagura's eyes lit up slightly, "So that's how it is. No wonder he took the initiative to start the fusion sequence..."
"Since that's the case, then now is the time for him to harvest the fruits of battle."
Aren't you talking nonsense?
Shadow Demon was unhappy. After this time, even if the Shadow Dimension didn't collapse, it would lose the vast majority of its power.
More crucially, the Light Dimension had already been devoured, and the Shadow Dimension also lost part of its value.
Whether the Institute would help him recover was still uncertain.
"Doctor, it's time to leave." Shadow Demon emphasized.
"Wait..." Sagura lowered her head: "But why hasn't he devoured the Light Dimension yet?"
"How would I know!" Shadow Demon completely couldn't restrain himself anymore. This woman jabbered so much.
"Those flowers are still proliferating. If it's as you said, then he should be devouring the Light Dimension right now." Sagura's expression flickered.
"But he hasn't acted yet. What is he waiting for? Waiting for the Dimension Fusion?"
"After the Dimension Fusion..." Sagura abruptly paused, her eyes bursting with sharp light: "He doesn't want to destroy the Shadow Dimension..."
"But wants to swallow the Shadow Dimension along with it!"
"What!?" Shadow Demon was somewhat shocked. Swallowing the Shadow Dimension along with it, wasn't this guy too greedy?
"His appetite is simply too big." Sagura also sighed.
"Does he think I'm a decoration? Once the Dimension Fusion happens, I can easily clear out these flowers!" Shadow Demon couldn't help but say.
Sagura shook her head: "He doesn't know the various processes of the Dimension Fusion, nor does he know that we prepared for the Light Dimension long ago. You can control the Dimensional Consciousness at the first moment and become the Overlord."
"Is that really so?" Shadow Demon had some misgivings.
"Whether it is or not, you'll know once you try." Sagura looked at Shadow Demon: "Just don't know if Your Excellency has the guts for it."
Shadow Demon's expression flickered. If he interrupted the fusion process now, the Shadow Dimension would suffer massive damage.
But he most likely wouldn't die, though his life tier would probably drop severely.
Strength represents Status.
If his Strength wasn't as good as before, his future Status would probably also lower.
But if he continued fusing, and the fusion degree of the two Dimension Worlds exceeded 50%, he would never be able to pull back and retreat.
If Li Yu then devoured the Light Dimension at that time.
Then only collapse would await him.
That is to say, this was a high-stakes Gamble, but Shadow Demon didn't consider for too long.
"Doctor, I'll bet on it!" His mouth curled with a cold sneer: "Li Yu, you'd best not be so greedy, otherwise your greed will make you die without a burial place!"
