Chapter 596: Suppressing Khorne
In a certain hidden Star Sector, the Void distorted, spitting out a figure. It was precisely the Abyss Sovereign.
His current appearance was extremely miserable. His face was a bloody mess, and not a single one of his six eyes remained.
By burning his eyeballs, he forcibly elevated his Superpower, forcefully distorted the Void Threads, and instantly crossed an extremely long distance.
Although the price was quite high, when he appeared here, he still sighed in relief.
"Thank goodness, I succeeded..." His mood was complex. In reality, at the final moment, he had already realized that his timing to leave the battlefield was late.
Given Li Yu's strength state at that time, he might have been able to forcibly track him down.
Thank goodness that guy didn't track him.
His taut nerves finally relaxed slightly, still harboring lingering fears.
Li Yu's Strength had skyrocketed without any logic. If he had hesitated for another moment, he probably wouldn't have even had the chance to escape.
"Who barged in here? This is a Private Domain!" A Furious shout rang out, and several powerful Auras quickly rushed over.
However, upon arriving, the few people retracted their Auras, saying with some astonishment: "It's the Leader!?"
The few people quickly rushed forward. After carefully identifying him, they were completely certain, immediately feeling somewhat horrified: "Leader, how did you become like this!?"
They were all High Echelons of the Abyss Institute. This was already within the area of the Abyss Institute's Headquarters. Under normal circumstances, no lifeforms would come here.
After the life signal warning was triggered, they still thought it was an external enemy invasion. They didn't expect that rushing over in a hurry, they would see their Boss in such a miserable state.
"Weren't you invited to ambush Li Yu? How did you end up like this?" A Crystal lifeform spoke. It was exactly the boorish Crystal Emperor, looking very worried.
Another person immediately said angrily: "It must be the doing of The Forerunners."
"Could it be an uneven division of spoils? Wasn't it agreed upon before that if information regarding Dimensional Fusion is found on Li Yu, it should belong to us?"
"The Forerunners definitely wanted it too, and they would only Come to Blows when the Leader refused."
Since you said one thing and I said another, they made reasonable speculations.
And the Abyss Sovereign had just repaired the injuries on his face, though the six eyeballs couldn't be repaired in a short time.
Hearing the crowd's conversation, his face instantly darkened. After hesitating for a moment, he said with a cold face: "Stop guessing randomly. Li Yu did it. The growth of his Strength... is truly terrifying."
Just now, there was a moment where he hesitated whether to speak of this embarrassing matter.
But there was definitely no way to hide this kind of thing. With so many eyewitnesses, it would spread sooner or later.
It was better to just tell the truth directly, saving himself more embarrassment later.
The High Echelons Looked at Each Other in Dismay. The Crystal Emperor looked astonished: "Li Yu did it?"
"Are you sure? How could he possibly have this kind of..."
It's these words again, how could it be possible... how could it be possible...
I also want to know how he managed to do it!
The more the Abyss Sovereign thought about it, the angrier he got, unable to help but swear: "I'm fucking sure. Do I not even see clearly who the enemy is!?"
"All of you go back! As long as he lives a day, the Abyss Institute won't appear in the Main Universe for a day!"
He was ruthlessly thinking to himself, if I can't afford to provoke you, can't I afford to hide!?
The crowd didn't dare to speak. They exchanged glances and obediently followed their Boss back.
However, not long after they left, a tiny red Mana Dragon darted out from the Void, shook its head in a human-like manner, and darted back into the Void again.
………
Benfir Civilization, Scanna Star. This planet was shrouded in thick Black Mist, having been thoroughly infected by Khorne.
It was just that one could clearly see the Black Mist on this planet flowing at an extremely fast speed, seemingly revealing that its master's emotions were unstable.
"What exactly is going on!?"
From the start, Khorne was extremely anxious and restless. Therefore, all the Mutant Sub-units on this planet were unusually tyrannical, glaring with wide eyes and uttering unconscious murmurs.
He didn't expect that what Nurgle said was actually true.
He had just developed a bit when suddenly people popped out to deal with him.
If Nurgle hadn't arrived early, the remaining infected planets would probably be hard to preserve.
Even from a vast distance, he could feel the terrifying Energy Fluctuations transmitting through the Universe.
That was power comparable to a Titan. In his current state, he was fundamentally no match for that kind of power.
Moreover, because the infected planets within the battlefield had all been shattered, he no longer knew what the battlefield had become.
He was also afraid that Nurgle would fail, and he would subsequently be purged.
This made him extremely panicked. He had stayed in that lightless dark space for an unknown amount of time and had only managed to escape with great difficulty. He absolutely couldn't go back.
Only, he wasn't a stupid Unified Consciousness Entity. A considerable portion of his sub-units browsed the Interstellar Network at all times.
And some information obtained from the Interstellar Network shortly after the battle occurred made him fall into doubt again.
"Why do these people all think that this group of people was ambushing Nurgle..."
"Nurgle said this group of people came to deal with me, but what if this group actually wanted to deal with him, and he purposely lured them over, then made me think they came to ambush me..."
"This possibility isn't non-existent..."
The superiority of a Unified Consciousness Entity was revealed at this moment; numerous Mutant Sub-units were all thinking.
Two major possibilities were deduced.
The first was that what Nurgle said was true. This group of people really came to deal with him, and Nurgle even risked his life to help stop them.
The second was that this Nurgle was plotting something unknown, purely treating him as a giant scapegoat.
He couldn't be certain which possibility was higher because he temporarily couldn't figure out Li Yu's purpose.
He pondered for a long time without an answer, until an extremely powerful Aura abruptly appeared on this planet.
"Brother Khorne, come out for a chat..." Li Yu retracted his Aura, appearing harmless to humans and animals.
However, Khorne, like a bird startled by a mere twang of a bowstring, immediately withdrew his main consciousness from here.
Only after confirming the arrival wasn't an enemy did he reluctantly switch back.
He forced himself to be calm, looking at the guy with red hair and red eyes in front of him. The Aura emanating from the other party made him feel unfamiliar and terrified.
"How was the battle? Where are those people?" Khorne asked cautiously.
"They've already been dealt with, don't worry..." Li Yu's smile was warm, but it made Khorne's heart tremble.
Before the infected planets in the battlefield were dealt with, he could clearly sense the high intensity of the battlefield.
Based on his understanding of Nurgle, this guy couldn't possibly be a match.
But now the other party actually said the enemies had already been dealt with by him.
Khorne didn't doubt this result because the Aura on the other party was strong to a certain extent.
Even among Titans, this was extremely rare, belonging to the strong.
"That's good..."
Khorne was already prepared to run away at any time because many things roughly matched what Li Yu said.
But there were also many things that didn't match, especially in this current state.
"Big brother seems very nervous?" Li Yu smiled faintly, his fingers rubbing to produce red rune sparks.
"With so many powerful lifeforms Covetously Staring at me, I'm naturally very nervous." Khorne probed: "I saw on the Interstellar Network that one of them seems to be your enemy."
"What Boss of the Abyss Institute?"
Li Yu chuckled, knowing Khorne already had doubts.
This guy wasn't easy to Con; he knew from the start.
The appearance of the Abyss Sovereign clearly made him start doubting Li Yu.
After all, Li Yu previously said this group of people's target was Khorne.
Yet the first one to appear was Li Yu's enemy. Even if the Mental Fluctuation between the two wasn't captured by Khorne.
The information obtained from the Interstellar Network was enough for the other party to deduce some answers.
"Big brother is really keeping up with the times." Li Yu answered irrelevantly.
"If I don't think a bit more, I wouldn't even know when I'd be eaten by someone." Khorne's meaning was similarly profound.
"Big brother doesn't need to worry, I will protect you." Li Yu shook his head.
"No need."
The Mutant Sub-unit in front of him shook its head. Khorne had increasingly felt that things were amiss.
He decided to temporarily stay away from this mysterious Nurgle. No matter what, his Mutant Sub-units were scattered in many places.
As long as his main consciousness wasn't captured and imprisoned in a receptacle that restricted his consciousness transfer, he was Fearless.
"Big brother doesn't trust me?" Red light flashed in Li Yu's eyes. Khorne didn't want to continue the conversation anymore, directly saying:
"You make me feel uneasy."
"If what you say is true, then don't go to the planets I've infected for the next period of time. If someone really Suddenly Appears to deal with me again, I will naturally believe you."
Li Yu let out a long leisurely sigh: "I've done so much for big brother, and big brother still refuses to believe me?"
"Sorry, I am innately a twisted Unified Consciousness Entity, I never believe anyone." The Mutant Sub-unit possessed by Khorne sneered and began to detach.
However, just as he was preparing to detach, the main consciousness seemed to hit an impenetrable wall, firmly suppressed within this Mutant Sub-unit, actually finding it hard to detach.
This feeling instantly reminded him of when he was bound in Black Steel.
It was just slightly different, but now wasn't the time to think about this.
Khorne's face was ferocious, instantly falling into a Furious state, "What did you do!?"
"It actually succeeded..."
Li Yu was somewhat surprised. Subsequently, red patterns surfaced around him. They crisscrossed in a special trajectory, forming a red circular Protective Shield, with flickering Magic Symbols.
In fact, he didn't hold much hope for his own methods.
He merely utilized the Chaos Magic knowledge brought by [Chaos Burst], combined with his own ideas, to temporarily construct a magical barrier isolated from the Main Universe World.
This kind of barrier was similar to a Dimensional Wall; he didn't know if it would work.
Because the Dimensional Wall couldn't block his Force Descent either.
It was precisely because he wasn't sure if it would succeed that he hadn't shown his hand to Khorne earlier.
If it didn't succeed, he still had room to maneuver and think of a way to continue Conning.
Clearly, Khorne's consciousness entity couldn't compare to the Force Descent and was directly isolated by this magic barrier.
His original plan was to find a way to figure out what imprisoned Khorne back then, and then try to create it using the [Reality Stone].
Afterwards, he would lure the other party into the Cage and imprison him.
However, plans couldn't keep up with changes. In this state, a massive amount of magic knowledge filled his mind, saving him many steps.
"What exactly did you do!?"
"Let me out!"
"I'm going to eat you, I'm going to eat you!"
Khorne's level of anger far exceeded Li Yu's expectations, possibly because his PTSD was triggered.
This isolated posture reminded him of the scene when he was imprisoned, involuntarily making him angry.
Two magical chains pulled the Mutant Sub-unit in front of him. Li Yu shook his head and said: "Don't be so angry. You'll know in the future that I'm doing this for your own good."
"My time is limited, I don't have time to say more."
Khorne was still cursing angrily. He was now in a state of thorough panic, fundamentally not wanting to return to that lightless space again.
Even if he was inherently a twisted Unified Consciousness Entity, he couldn't bear it.
Li Yu ignored him for now, stepped out of the magic barrier, opened a Dimensional Rift, and took Silver Shooting Star's corpse out from within.
That's right, when he recast Silver Shooting Star earlier, he used the exact same technique.
Although he wasn't sure if this method would succeed at the time, there was no harm in trying; he wouldn't suffer any loss anyway.
Now that it succeeded, it was a massive profit.
Li Yu carried the Red Metallic Man and walked in, which made Khorne even more terrified, even begging: "Don't lock me up, just annihilate me."
"I don't want to face the lightless Void again, I beg you..."
That space where he couldn't feel the passage of time, nor any other matter, he truly didn't want to experience it again.
"You misunderstood..." Li Yu shook his head, not explaining too much. While there was still time, his fingers changed.
A large amount of Magic Symbols condensed into Runic Chains, directly inserting into the forehead of the Mutant Sub-unit in front of him, and the other end inserting into the Red Metallic Man.
"Ah—"
Accompanied by the Mutant Sub-unit's wail, red light shone dazzlingly.
On this planet, and even on other planets, all the Mutant Sub-units let out restless and anxious roars.
Then, the endless red light suddenly contracted. The Mutant Sub-unit carrying Khorne's main consciousness had vanished.
And on the Corporeal Form of the Red Metallic Man, layers upon layers of red Magic Runes flickered continuously, as if something was about to burst out.
