Chapter 590: Ambush!

At the Skrull Company Headquarters, the numerous Interstellar Media workers staking out the place let out wails.

"Sigh, sure enough, he didn't come here. The Skrull Company's scale is still too small to be worth his attention."

"Li Yu went directly to the Benfir Civilization, obviously ignoring the Skrull Company."

"We wasted so much time here for nothing, and we even thought we could see some big news."

These media workers naturally earned their compensation based on the size of the news they dug up.

Coming here in the first place was a Gamble. Now that they had lost the bet, they naturally wailed repeatedly.

"Not necessarily, perhaps Li Yu is afraid of the Skrull Company?" A reporter from a second-rate media outlet said with flickering eyes.

The accompanying cameraman and writer looked at him as if looking at an idiot.

"Li Yu would be afraid of the Skrull Company? Is your brain broken?"

"No one will believe it, Li Yu being afraid of the Skrull Company... This..." The writer thought about it and even he felt a sense of being Dumbfounded.

"Exactly... because no one will believe it, those people will click in to curse at us." The reporter said as a matter of course: "This way, wouldn't we get the heat we need?"

The cameraman and the writer exchanged a glance, their expressions changing slightly. The cameraman adjusted the Camera Lens and said hesitantly: "But if we do this, will we be hated by that big shot?"

This reporter said carelessly: "He didn't even take the Skrull Company's arrogance to heart. We just came up with a deceptive Headline, how could he possibly care."

The others thought about it and it indeed sounded very reasonable, so they prepared to pack their things and leave.

Below, the Middle-Aged Man clenched his fists: "Father, he went straight to the Benfir Civilization."

Skrull took a deep breath and nodded: "I know..."

The Middle-Aged Man seemed somewhat unwilling, and gnashed his teeth: "It's truly a stroke of luck for him to escape disaster this time..."

"Idiot!" Skrull shouted sternly: "We are Pulling Chestnuts Out of the Fire here, why are you speaking as if you have absolute certainty?"

"Since he didn't come, we also don't need to take the risk. This is the best result!"

The Middle-Aged Man lowered his head, not daring to rebel. However, right at this moment, the Ground detection radar suddenly issued a warning—

"Spatial Fluctuation detected, suspected to be Warp Fluctuation, please prepare..."

Skrull's expression changed slightly, and he abruptly looked up at the sky. He saw space distorting somewhere in the distant orbit, and a large number of black warships warped here, bringing with them an intense sense of oppression.

The numerous Interstellar Media Spaceships that were originally preparing to leave also stopped at this moment.

"What's going on, where did these warships come from?"

"Their appearance looks somewhat familiar. I remember now, this is Li Yu's Transformer Legion!" Someone let out an excited shout.

Before coming here, they had thoroughly understood all of Li Yu's information, so they naturally knew the Number One Enforcers under him very well.

"Good thing we didn't leave. As expected, Li Yu wouldn't turn a blind eye to Skrull's arrogant response..."

The numerous Interstellar Media set up their Camera Lenses and aimed them at those black warships.

The Blast Door of one of the warships opened, and a guy dressed somewhat like a space cowboy walked out. All lenses converged on him.

"Eh... who is this uncle?" Someone asked on the broadcast channel.

"Zeth Longbottom, nicknamed Hunter. Originally a warship Commander of the Star Glory Empire, he later ended up on the Heavenly Desolation Star due to certain events, and eventually became Li Yu's subordinate..." Someone explained.

"Oh, so just a subordinate..." That person was somewhat disappointed.

"Hunter is different from other subordinates. When Li Yu was weak, he was already by his side. Some people speculate that he acts as a Life Mentor to Li Yu." Another reporter responded, and then mocked:

"Which media outlet's reporter is this? Did you not even read the intelligence clearly before coming?"

Li Yu's Life Mentor?

Hunter's mouth twitched slightly. Since these reporters were talking on the broadcast channel, he could also catch it.

That monster still needs a mentor? It'd be more accurate to say he's my mentor.

He naturally wouldn't go and explain anything to these reporters. Two black warships quickly transformed into giant Mechanical Bodies, followed behind him, and landed on the planet below.

Skrull had long been prepared, a kindly smile on his face: "Your Excellency Hunter, I have waited for a long time."

Hunter glanced at him and said indifferently: "Chairman Skrull's remarks on the Interstellar Network were quite fierce, why are you acting humble now?"

"The previous offense was only to explain things face-to-face to Your Excellency Li Yu. There are many things that are hard to explain clearly without a face-to-face meeting." Skrull lowered his head, his attitude very respectful.

Hunter's tone was inscrutable: "Before coming here, Li Yu said to punish you accordingly based on your attitude. But your attitude now makes it somewhat difficult for me."

"Heh, wait until he survives, then we'll talk..." The Middle-Aged Man's mouth curled up slightly, carrying a hint of mockery.

"What... did you say?" His voice was very low, but Hunter still caught it, and his expression instantly darkened.

"Scram!" Skrull was furious. He backhanded a slap, striking his son across the face.

Although this Chairman looked old, his strength was very strong, directly sending that Middle-Aged Man flying with the slap.

"My apologies, this shareholder is a bit mentally unstable." Skrull quickly explained.

But Hunter clearly wasn't going to accept this explanation. However, just as he was preparing to press the matter...

Someone spoke on the broadcast channel again.

"Damn, something huge happened! Li Yu got ambushed. Is the Benfir Civilization this badass?"

"The frontline Interstellar Media has lost contact. The signal is blocked, and no one knows what's happening there right now."

Hearing this, Hunter's eyes suddenly became incomparably ruthless, staring dead at Skrull in front of him: "You guys knew about this early on!?"

"No, no, how could we possibly know." Skrull looked terrified.

Hunter's voice was chilling: "You just annihilated your last ray of survival."

He turned around and ordered: "Destroy this planet, leave... no one alive!"

"Yes, Your Excellency Hunter." The two huge Transformers nodded, and simultaneously left the Surface carrying Hunter.

"Haha, you wish! Those great existences will eliminate you all!" The Middle-Aged Man lying on the ground let out a maniacal laugh.

It was just that no one paid him any mind now. Skrull sighed, reined in his terror, and shook his head.

The two Transformers flanked them left and right. One held a Mechanical Giant Cauldron, and the other held a Glowing Blue Pagoda, aiming at the planet below.

Even until two thick Light Beams blasted into the Surface, and terrifying Energy Fluctuations accompanied by fierce winds approached the terrified Middle-Aged Man, he still didn't see the so-called powerful existences he spoke of appear.

"Father, where are those Lords? Where are they?" He tightly grabbed Skrull next to him, his face full of despair.

The reason he deliberately spoke up was to attract Hunter to attack, hoping that the group of mysterious people would kill the other party, thereby Making a Name for Oneself for Skrull.

However, there was still no one taking action now.

"Sigh, our only purpose was to attract Li Yu to come. Now that he went to the Benfir Civilization, those people naturally left as well."

Skrull glanced at his foolish son, and ultimately explained:

"This Hunter in front of us is not worth them taking action against, or rather, they need to race against time to converge with the people on the other side."

"In the eyes of those people, we are no different from bait. Since the fish didn't bite the bait, it can be discarded."

Surging Energy Fluctuations swept across the entire Barren Planet, much like the spread of the news of Li Yu's ambush on the Interstellar Network.

In almost a blink of an eye, this news topped the trending list.

Due to the virus incident, Li Yu's discussion heat was already consistently high, and this was an even greater ignition point.

A massive number of Interstellar Citizens were discussing this matter. Some were furious, some took pleasure in his misfortune. All sorts of Monsters and Demons emerged, spreading various rumors.

"Shocking: Li Yu dies, actually because he offended the Skrull Company."

"So the Benfir Civilization was the final big boss all along."

"......"

This was yet another Public Opinion Frenzy, but everyone was waiting for the next piece of news.

They wanted to know what would happen next? Who was the ambushing faction? What level of lifeforms were dispatched? What would ultimately happen to Li Yu?

……

Ten minutes ago, the Abyss Sovereign hiding in the spaceship watched Li Yu step by step falling into the encirclement.

He didn't feel any excitement; instead, he felt an unbelievable sense regarding how smoothly the plan went.

"The target has stepped into the encirclement. Activate the Space Blocking Device, lock down the Spatial Coefficient, turn on the Dimensional Detector, and constantly watch if the Dimensional Ship will descend!"

The Staff Members beside him were busily making arrangements.

And the Abyss Sovereign's six eyes stared at Li Yu tearing open the spaceship and stepping into the Starry Sky. However, the sweeping Mental Fluctuation caused the Abyss Sovereign to fall into a state of astonishment.

"He knows I'm ambushing here?!" The Abyss Sovereign's six eyes bloomed with brilliant colors simultaneously. After his initial astonishment, he muttered in a low voice:

"This feeling, this is right..."

If Li Yu were really oblivious like an Idiot, it would instead make him increasingly uneasy.

But now he felt relieved. Although he didn't know how Li Yu knew of his existence.

But the other party definitely didn't know what kind of power The Forerunners dispatched to ambush him. Even he was somewhat surprised.

Since his name was called out, he also didn't continue to hide. He directly left the hiding warship and stepped into the Starry Sky.

"We meet again." The Abyss Sovereign communicated with Li Yu using Mental Fluctuations.

"I didn't expect you to hate me so much, to actually be willing to act as a thug for The Forerunners." Li Yu sized up the Abyss Sovereign.

Even now, he was still very covetous of the Abyss Institute. Although on the surface, most of their Dimension worlds had already been destroyed by themselves.

But according to what Sakura said, there were definitely some unknown Dimension worlds that hadn't been destroyed.

"You know The Forerunners are ambushing you?" The Abyss Sovereign was startled again. This guy seemed to know much more than he imagined.

"Of course I know. I have people among The Forerunners too. After all, it's one faction. Although it split, it's hard to completely sever ties." Li Yu spouted nonsense casually:

"It's just that there's no need for you to get involved. After all, this is our family matter."

"Hehe..." The Abyss Sovereign shook his head: "They already told me, this is entirely your scheme. This 'two sides of the same coin' stuff is all fake."

"Ha..." Li Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Is this still the Abyss Sovereign? You believe whatever others say?"

"I still miss your decisiveness outside the Light-Shadow Dimension back then."

Mentioning the sad matter of the Light-Shadow Dimension, the Abyss Sovereign's anger value instantly soared. He simply stopped thinking about anything and attacked directly!

"I want to see where your confidence comes from!?"

As his voice fell, he waved his hand, using Distorted Void Energy to shoot out dense light beams, covering the area Li Yu was in like a meteor shower descending from the sky.

"Then come!"

Li Yu smashed his left fist towards the sky. Light expanded, and a curved Protective Shield unfurled in the air.

The rain-like dense light beams struck the Protective Shield, exploding into small energy clusters. Clusters of light lit up simultaneously in the Starry Sky.

"Eh?" The Abyss Sovereign subconsciously felt something was amiss. Even though this was just a casual attack from him, it shouldn't be this easy for Li Yu to block it, right?

Did his Strength improve again?

He pondered in his heart, but didn't take it to heart. After all, he didn't exert much strength in that probing attack just now, it was just a casual strike.

Still not summoning that Mechanical Lifeform?

This thought flashed through the Abyss Sovereign's mind, but the movements of his hands weren't slow. He distorted his own physical strength, preparing to catch the other party Caught off guard.

With his Superpower reaching this level, there was almost nothing that couldn't be distorted.

His speed abruptly increased, directly disappearing into the Starry Sky.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Li Yu. His six eyes simultaneously shot out Light Beams, heading straight for his head!

But Li Yu, who shouldn't have been able to react, suddenly curled his lips upwards. His eyes were filled with Golden Electric Arcs, Lightning Glow surged like a dragon, and his body erupted with terrifying Energy Fluctuations. It rapidly escalated, like a raging tide.

Bang!!

Like a Cataclysmic Collision, a colorful Stellar Ring Impact Shockwave exploded from the center of the collision.

Li Yu raised his palm, and the [Infinity Gauntlet] blocked the Six-Eyed Rays at close range. This wasn't the Abyss Sovereign's Superpower, but his innate racial Talent.

His other arm was covered by the [Symbiotic Bio-Armor]. A pale gold Shield faintly appeared, blocking the Abyss Sovereign's fist.

"This... how is this possible!?" The Abyss Sovereign looked horrified, unable to comprehend the scene unfolding before his eyes.

"My turn!" Bearing the six differently colored rays, the [Infinity Gauntlet] directly pressed onto the Abyss Sovereign's head.

The Power Gem flashed, its purple light dazzling. Trembling energy directly erupted in his hand, while Li Yu's other hand had already smashed towards the Abyss Sovereign's chest.

Bang!

Like a collision sound resounding through the soul, a dazzling light cluster appeared at the point of impact, and then violently expanded like a Stellar Ring, sweeping across the Starry Sky!

A figure flew backward. His head had already been blasted away, and a large hole was cracked open in his chest, yet not a single drop of blood flowed out. He looked incomparably miserable.

Then, Li Yu raised his left hand again, wielding his hand like a blade, and chopped out a gray light arc. It arrived first despite being launched later, and with fierce momentum, struck the Abyss Sovereign's backward-flying body.

Crack!

A thick Silver-White Thunder emerged from the Void, leaving continuously spreading traces on the retina, and solidly blasted onto the Abyss Sovereign's mutilated Corporeal Form.

A set of combos was completed in just the blink of an eye. In the silent Starry Sky, the Sea of Thunder and Gray Energy intertwined and tumbled continuously.
