Chapter 584: Intimidation

"Of course others told me..." Li Yu had a few guesses in his heart.

But he still had to Con this guy to see if he could get other useful information.

"Your current situation is very dangerous. Do you really think no one else knows your origins?"

This Bloodlust Consciousness was very smart and hadn't exposed that it was a special Unified Consciousness Entity.

Outside Civilizations' judgments of it were basically unknown viruses or plagues; they hadn't thought in this direction at all.

Given time, this guy would definitely grow into a large-scale cosmic disaster.

Li Yu didn't care too much about this aspect. When the time came, he wouldn't be the one facing the loss of interests.

But the key was that this guy was related to the Titan Sanctuary, which made it necessary for him to pay attention.

Currently, the several large factions, like the Star Glory Empire, Black Net, Salvation Ark, and so on, they probably didn't know this thing had self-awareness, otherwise they would have acted long ago.

Then its value would be even greater.

While no one knew this guy's origins right now, he had to grasp it in his own hands ahead of time.

It was just that the existence form of this thing was special; every Mutant Sub-unit was its consciousness vessel.

And who knows how many factions had secretly taken away those Black Mists.

Although they probably wouldn't be brain-dead enough to conduct large-scale experiments, it was inevitable that there would be guys Delighting in Chaos.

So, if this guy wanted to escape, it would really be hard to restrict him. Li Yu still had to Con him, making him willingly throw himself into his embrace.

Bloodlust was startled at first; he didn't want to be trapped in a dark, sunless place ever again.

But then he became somewhat suspicious. He already had a basic understanding of the current civilization era.

To be honest, it was far inferior to the Titan Civilization.

How could anyone know his origins?

"Don't underestimate others..." Li Yu shook his head: "Actually... there is a faction specifically capturing existences like you and me."

"Existences like you and me?" Bloodlust caught the information Li Yu "accidentally" revealed, seemingly realizing something.

The ability to remotely control a Sub-Body, a similar name, knowing his name—this guy... as expected, was also created by that group of people.

Bloodlust was almost certain, because he couldn't think of any other possibilities.

"I didn't expect they had recovered to this extent." Bloodlust seemed somewhat fearful, which affected the surrounding Mutant Sub-units.

"What are you talking about?" Li Yu didn't seem to quite understand.

Bloodlust snorted coldly: "You don't need to pretend. I've already checked just now. These two people you picked were just dropped down not long ago."

"While talking with you, I've carefully checked the other Mutant Sub-units from the same batch."

"There's an incomprehensible power on them. It should be that power that allows you to snatch my control."

"I admit, this power is more advanced than my Black Mist."

Li Yu was somewhat surprised. This guy actually sensed the existence of the Force.

But it made sense. The existence of the Force was substantial; as long as one investigated carefully, they would always notice something was wrong.

This guy thinks that I'm using the Force to erode others, just like he uses the Black Mist.

After thinking about it, Li Yu found that this didn't seem to be bad news for him. To some extent, it actually enhanced the credibility of his words.

Moreover, it could basically be confirmed that this Bloodlust was indeed some kind of weapon created by the civilization hostile to the Titan Civilization.

"You underestimate them too much. They even annihilated the Titans!" Li Yu followed the other party's words and continued speaking.

"That's because they exploited a loophole..." Bloodlust shook his head, but didn't speak much on this matter. Instead, he asked: "So, are you the vanguard army they sent?"

"This civilization era is far inferior to the Titan Civilization. Do they need to be so vigilant?"

"It's never wrong to be vigilant." Li Yu could only speak ambiguously to avoid the other party's suspicion, and at the same time said: "This place is very dangerous. You'd better relocate early. Many civilizations have already noticed this place."

"Oh right, the faction capturing us is called The Forerunners. They are hidden very deeply and have always wanted to find the culprits behind the Civilization's Demise of the Titans."

"They inherited most of the Titan Civilization's legacy; their Strength cannot be underestimated."

Li Yu calmly Slandered them, without forgetting to take himself out of it.

"However, I've lurked inside them for a long time and have already split them into two factions. One of them is called the Other-Dimensional Camp, which can be considered our Ally."

"They hope that when the great..." Li Yu spoke up to here, his words vague, as if out of both fear and respect: "...when they take control of this Universe, they can become the administrators."

"Perhaps, you and I can join forces."

"Scram!"

To Li Yu's surprise, Bloodlust was unexpectedly furious in the face of his words.

"I have no interest in becoming a subordinate of the Creators again. They bound you with an Information State blockade, but those Titans removed my blockade."

"I will never be controlled by them again!"

Bloodlust's voice was icy cold. The surrounding Mutant Sub-units slowly turned around, all their gazes converging on Li Yu.

"Not only this Interstellar civilization, I will also Devour those Creators!"

Guessed wrong?

Li Yu felt slight waves in his heart. He thought Bloodlust was still executing the mission of that unknown civilization, aiming to erode the current Interstellar civilization, which was why he spoke like that.

In the end, this guy actually wanted to crown himself king.

Really quite something. The Life Titans truly lived up to being research maniacs.

They even dared to remove the restrictions on weapons deployed by their enemies.

Perhaps it was precisely because those Creators no longer had the means to bind Bloodlust that Bloodlust developed this kind of thought.

But there was nothing he could do. The information he grasped about the era was too little.

No matter how cautious he was, flaws were inevitable. It was already pretty good that he could make Bloodlust believe he was of the same existence form as him.

He originally wanted to use Proceeding Orderly inducement to make this guy think they were both in the same camp, and then reveal more information.

In the end, he guessed wrong. Who could have known the Life Titans were actually crazy to this degree.

Of course, they could also be reverse-analyzing the unknown civilization's technology.

However, since the tone of the conversation was set, he couldn't directly change his tune now.

He couldn't just say he was the vanguard of that civilization a moment ago, and then turn around to say he actually had betrayal in mind all along; that would be too fake.

Li Yu remained silent for a moment and carefully said: "Your thoughts surprise me greatly."

"Nurgle!"

Bloodlust seemed serious, while Li Yu froze for a moment before remembering the other party was addressing him.

The surrounding Sub-Bodies were all speaking, their voices overlapping: "You and I have the same existence form; we can call ourselves brothers."

"I know you are currently bound, and there's nothing you can do, but I promise you, when I succeed, I will definitely liberate you."

Li Yu was in a daze, feeling very odd. He could only silently nod, roughly understanding Bloodlust's thoughts.

"I understand. Rest assured, I will keep your matters a secret."

Afterwards, he left this body. Bloodlust only sneered after confirming the other party's consciousness had completely left.

"Idiot, sooner or later, I will Devour you as well."

He believed Nurgle's existence form was more advanced than his, and at the same time believed he could Devour him to upgrade himself.

But in the short term, he didn't have the ability to contend with the other party, let alone let those Creators know he had broken free from their control.

So, he could only temporarily Con Nurgle.

Judging by himself, he believed the other party was definitely also unwilling to be controlled by those Creators.

………

"Conning here and Conning there, I almost slipped up..." Li Yu muttered twice.

Bloodlust wasn't easy to Con. If he let him come into contact with more information, flaws would inevitably appear.

He could only apply another patch and make the other party completely terrified before he could obtain more information.

He stood up, opened his Smart Terminal, and ordered: "Tell the people near the Lesteron Star System to open a Dimensional Rift. I'm going to make a trip."

………

The Conquest Mercenary Legion was an outer organization of The Fallen City. They received financial and personnel support from The Fallen City and vigorously developed their own forces.

Mercenary business, arms business, even chamber of commerce business, and so on.

They wandered among different civilizations, their relationships intricately rooted, while providing connections and shelter for some Black Markets.

Conquest was powerful and had been operating for many years. The reputation and word-of-mouth they accumulated were very high, even providing military protection for small civilizations. One could imagine how astonishing their power was.

And a massive force required equal power to maintain, let alone in the Grey Zone where the Law of the Jungle prevailed.

Even if they developed powerfully, they never forgot to honestly pay tribute to The Fallen City and complete some tasks assigned by them.

And The Fallen City protected them from being swallowed by big shots in grey factions like the Black Net Organization.

At this very moment, the Deputy Legion Commander of Conquest, Balthasar, was in the general Command Center of the Lesteron blockade fleet. The portholes behind him revealed the tranquil Starry Sky, the stars resplendent, cold, and magnificent.

However, such a scene couldn't calm the fury in his heart.

"General Lanto, my men were smashed to pieces right here, yet you turn a blind eye!?" He roared: "I demand an explanation!"

"Why can someone open fire with impunity within the blockade line!?"

Lanto felt a headache coming on. He pulled up the battle Recording from that time and said: "They were Li Yu's people, and your men provoked them repeatedly..."

"But did we take action?" Balthasar interrupted the other party: "Isn't it normal to provoke on the broadcast channel? Don't forget, we have already paid the money."

"You are supposed to protect my people, but not only did you fail to do so, you even let the perpetrator leave here openly."

He sneered! "The rumors are indeed true. Li Yu has broken your spine. You are now just an old dog lying on the Ground!"

Lanto stood up abruptly, pointing at Balthasar, his face alternating between green and white. The amethyst on his forehead flashed continuously, but he couldn't speak.

Those words were too vicious; it was simply rubbing Amethyst on the Ground.

"What?" Balthasar took a step forward: "You don't dare to say much to Li Yu's people, yet you point your finger at my nose. Are you looking down on our Conquest, or looking down on The Fallen City!?"

"What the f*ck do you want!?" Lanto finally couldn't hold it back. For just a few dead people, the other party's reaction absolutely wouldn't be this huge.

He clearly wanted to use this pretext to make a fuss and grab more benefits.

"I want the newly discovered zircon mine in the Amethyst Luna Star System..." Balthasar directly named his price.

"Impossible!" Lanto flatly refused. The overall value of that mineral vein was in the hundreds of billions; how could he give it to him.

Balthasar laughed sinisterly: "Since that's the case, then don't blame us for not showing any respect. You failed to protect my people. No matter where this matter spreads, probably no one will say we are in the wrong."

Lanto took a deep breath, glaring viciously at the other party.

Ever since being beaten by Li Yu last time, Amethyst's prestige had been declining day by day, and there were often people Exploiting weakness.

Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a soldier hurried in to report, looking terrified: "Gen... General, there is a fleet requesting entry into the blockade zone!"

"What are you panicking for!" Lanto shouted angrily. Having just been looked down upon by someone, and seeing his own subordinate behave like this, how could he not be angry.

Balthasar had a look of contempt. In the past, Amethyst still had the qualifications to make him feel Apprehension. Now Amethyst... heh.

Lanto ordered: "Ask for the other party's origins, follow the rules!"

"But... the other party claims to be Li Yu!" The subordinate's voice trembled. Li Yu had already become the nightmare and disgrace of the entire Amethyst.

"What!?" Lanto's expression drastically changed. He hurriedly walked out from behind his desk, simultaneously ordering: "Quick, notify the blockade ships to let them pass immediately!"

Although Li Yu was an enemy of Amethyst, he absolutely didn't dare to show it. He even had to treat him with courtesy, otherwise that person would really dare to kill.

However, when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped. He looked at Balthasar, who was trying hard to hide himself, with an enigmatic expression:

"Your Excellency, since the main party has arrived, aren't you going to meet him? After all, this is the very perpetrator who destroyed your warship."

"This..." Balthasar's throat bobbed, feeling terrified inside. Damn it, why did this Killing God suddenly come without any news.

How could he dare to question this person to his face? Wouldn't that be seeking death?

Even the Abyss Institute had been destroyed, let alone a petty Deputy Legion Commander like him.

"Let's go... We have to give you an explanation for this matter..." Lanto grabbed Balthasar, adding: "Otherwise, this matter can only end here."

Balthasar's expression changed slightly. If he didn't go, Lanto could directly refuse his demand without leaving any Handle.

But if he went, he was afraid he would die!
