Chapter 597: Impact

"Stop wasting your energy. The magic power on this metal block is even stronger than the barrier constructed just now. It's impossible for you to break free." The Aura on Li Yu's body gradually calmed down.

His red hair and crimson pupils also reverted to their original state. The duration of [Chaos Burst] had already passed.

However, during this period of time, he had already accomplished multiple goals, so he didn't feel it was a pity.

It was just that the feeling of a weakened level of power was somewhat uncomfortable.

But it wasn't his first time mastering power that exceeded his own life level. After a moment, he adjusted.

Khorne's main consciousness was still roaring inside, using extremely vicious words, clamoring that he would definitely Devour Li Yu.

Li Yu shook his head, Electric Arcs shooting from his fingertips, accurately striking a certain spot on the Crimson Metal Block.

In an instant, the Magic Symbols there bloomed with brilliance, and Khorne, sealed within, seemed to suffer some Non-human torture, continuously letting out miserable wails—

"Stop!"

"I yield, I yield!"

Li Yu used Chaos Magic to forge this Corporeal Form, and now that he had lost the power of Chaos Magic, it would normally be difficult to manipulate these Magic Symbols.

But he had thought of this when forging it, leaving a few Magic Symbols that acted like switches on the surface of the metal block.

As long as they were supplied with Energy, they could be activated, either sealing off the Corporeal Form's external perception or triggering some sort of punitive measure.

But Li Yu turned a deaf ear. Another Electric Arc shot out, hitting a certain Magic Symbol. Instantly, the continuously wailing Khorne lost his voice.

Li Yu didn't have any emotional reaction. After about fifteen minutes passed, Li Yu finally opened the bodily restrictions of the Red Metallic Man.

And this time, Khorne had clearly learned to be smart. He stopped cursing and honestly stayed inside this Corporeal Form.

"What exactly do you want to do?" His tone was trembling. Being sealed off from external perception just now felt like being locked up in the lightless Void again.

He didn't want to experience that situation again, even though he was now sealed within this Corporeal Form.

But as long as he didn't enrage this guy in front of him, he probably wouldn't be locked up.

"My big brother, don't misunderstand. I did that just now to let you calm down. I know that having your external perception sealed off must be an extremely painful punishment." Li Yu consoled, but it made Khorne involuntarily shiver.

Li Yu added: "It's truly too dangerous outside. I did this to protect you. Rest assured, staying by my side will be very safe."

Right now, Khorne didn't believe a single word this guy said, even suspecting that he had fallen into the other party's trap from the very beginning.

However, a person under the eaves has to bow their head. After Khorne calmed down, he realized that since Li Yu locked him up instead of using other methods to annihilate him.

That meant he must still be useful to him. Since he was useful, a transaction could be made.

He hadn't reached the point of being At the End of One's Rope yet. All he could do was wait for Li Yu's demands.

Li Yu didn't mind Khorne's silence. Glancing around, a large number of Mutant Sub-units had fallen into aimless wandering.

Without the control of the main consciousness, these Mutant Sub-units were like Chips without power, finding it difficult to connect with each other.

From this moment on, the Black Exile was finally considered a special Bio-Virus.

Li Yu shook his head, not staying here for too long. He turned and opened a Dimensional Rift. Next, he still had many things to do.

…………

Almost more than half the Interstellar was paying attention to Li Yu's ambush incident in the Benfir Civilization.

In fact, the initial scale of attention wasn't this large.

It was just that halfway through, Old Black's Universe Chat Suddenly Appeared and spread the information about the Abyss Institute's Leader.

The Leader of this mysterious faction was an absolute A5 Level top-tier lifeform, situated at the top of the Interstellar food chain.

A lifeform at this level could easily determine the rise and fall of a civilization.

He himself was more like a monumental existence. Under normal circumstances, it was very difficult for news about them to appear on the Interstellar Network.

Even if it did appear, various media outlets would tacitly erase it out of Apprehension and fear in their hearts.

But this time was different. It involved the Interstellar rookie Li Yu, and the one who initially spread the news was a Black Ape who didn't know about the Unspoken Rules.

Only then was this news widely propagated.

And by now, it had already attracted the attention of countless Interstellar Citizens, as well as major factions.

Amidst this Anxious wait, three hours after the news of the ambush first came out.

The major Interstellar Media seemingly agreed beforehand, starting to desperately release the latest news at almost exactly the same time.

And every Interstellar Citizen who saw the news was dumbfounded and found it hard to believe.

The number of people participating in the ambush was actually far more than just the Leader of the Abyss Institute!?

There was actually the Mechanical Octopus Istrala as well!?

Many Interstellar Citizens knew about this mechanical octopus. Ordinary Interstellar Citizens basically wouldn't leave the Main Civilization Clusters to head to the edges of the known Universe.

So the mechanical octopus wasn't really lethal to them; some people even made Q-Version Emoticon Packs of it, which were quite popular.

So when they saw in the Recording that massive mechanical octopus, comparable to a planet, venting its terrifying storm of Fire,

Every lifeform couldn't help but shiver.

And the final number of high-level lifeforms participating in the battle actually reached as many as five!?

But what was most shocking was that Li Yu actually won this battle.

From the very beginning of the battle, there were reporters recording the entire process.

In the nearly two hours of battle footage, except for some intense energy collisions that affected the signal capture,

The rest of the footage was incredibly clear, displaying Li Yu's heroic bearing completely.

News commentators had already begun analyzing it frame by frame, while some powerful factions were constructing analytical models, hoping to figure out Li Yu's specific combat Strength.

There were also some people looking for the origin of that silver figure.

Information on the Interstellar Network was very easy to find. Through model comparison, someone quickly knew that the silver figure was the top-tier Interstellar lifeform that had disappeared for over five thousand years—Silver Shooting Star.

An ambush involving five top-tier Interstellar lifeforms, one of whom had been missing for over five thousand years.

The most outrageous part was that the ambushed person actually successfully fought back and won!

The heat of this topic instantly shook the entire Interstellar!

And before this, no one knew that this ambush incident would develop into a blockbuster news of this level.

Just ten minutes after the release, almost all the domestic headlines of Interstellar civilizations changed to topics related to Li Yu.

And all Interstellar Media, when rebroadcasting the news, used the same picture—the one taken by Chekhov.

After widespread propagation, this picture gained a concise and easy-to-understand name—Nine Dragons Suppressing the Star!

"Boss!"

At the Voice of the Starry Universe Headquarters, brilliant Starlight shone through the dome onto Vissa. He raised his nearly perfect face, staring at this picture in front of him.

That's right, the Mermaid Princess's Teacher, Voice of the Universe Vissa, was precisely the Big Boss of Voice of the Starry Universe.

This Interstellar-renowned media organization possessed a considerable reputation and basically wouldn't report false news.

Combined with Vissa's reputation, they complemented each other, becoming an unshakable mountain in the Interstellar entertainment industry.

"Boss, there are already 3,785 media organizations coming over to purchase temporary usage rights for the picture. Just this picture alone has brought us over a billion Star Coins in profit."

Someone hurried over, reporting with an excited expression:

"And this isn't counting other potential revenues. If this picture successfully wins the Balubaf Award, its value will probably exceed ten billion!"

"Mhm." Vissa nodded, appearing very calm, saying: "Go find Return Star to sign an agreement. All future revenue generated from this picture will belong to Your Excellency Li Yu."

"Also, the share Chekhov should receive will be allocated separately from the Company's accounts."

Hearing this, the subordinate couldn't help but freeze, unable to resist saying: "This... then our profit will be greatly reduced."

"Do you want to die?" Vissa retorted: "Was the taking of this picture approved by Your Excellency Li Yu?"

The subordinate's pupils shrank, dense cold sweat appearing on his forehead, muttering: "It's... it was my negligence."

Under normal circumstances, pictures taken by Voice of the Starry Universe basically wouldn't require paying copyright fees to anyone.

Others would even be eager to be featured on this level of media news.

But was Li Yu like the others? This person already stood at the top of the Interstellar, looking down on everything else.

"Also, subtly express that we wish to conduct an exclusive interview with Your Excellency Li Yu." Vissa immediately added.

"An exclusive interview?" The subordinate froze. "Will... that person agree?"

Vissa didn't explain too much, shaking his head: "Just go and convey it."

"Yes!" He hurried away!

And Vissa opened his Smart Terminal, found a certain student of his, and muttered to himself:

"I recall I seemed to have helped him with a small favor before. An exclusive interview shouldn't be too much to ask, right?"

………

Return Star, Central Star System, Nova Palace. Klein hadn't been back long, fuming with anger.

Being unable to command the three A5 Level lifeforms of Return Star gave the recently Smug and Self-Satisfied Klein a huge setback.

What was more crucial was that Li Yu's fate was unknown, making her even more worried.

"If you died, I will definitely make... them be buried with you!" Klein's eyes were gloomy and cold.

However, this state didn't last too long before she learned of the news that shook the Interstellar.

"...According to what our reporters have learned, about three hours ago, a shocking ambush occurred in the Benfir Civilization.

The Leader of the Abyss Institute, allied with the Mechanical Octopus Istrala, and the Metal Lifeform missing for over five thousand years—Silver Shooting Star, launched an ambush on Li Yu.

Facing this ultra-luxurious lineup ambush, Li Yu responded calmly, according to the results of the live battle Recording.

The Leader of the Abyss Institute retreated in defeat, the Mechanical Octopus Istrala was heavily damaged, and Silver Shooting Star was even captured by Your Excellency Li Yu's special state. This result shook the Interstellar.

According to speculations, the Abyss Institute was likely unwilling to accept their previous failure, so they gathered other powerhouses to launch this ambush..."

Before the news finished playing, Klein clenched her fists, stood up abruptly, her face flushed red!

And at the end of the news was exactly that "Nine Dragons Suppressing the Star".

Seeing Li Yu's heroic and spirited appearance in the picture made Klein wish she could immediately find Li Yu and ruthlessly bring him down under her skirt!

Only, that red-haired, crimson-eyed appearance reminded Klein of a person she didn't want to think about.

But this didn't matter. She paced back and forth, slowly calming the emotions in her heart. Then, as if she thought of something, she abruptly opened her Smart Terminal and began contacting certain people again.

Not long after, three projections appeared in front of her again.

Bolvar's expression was ugly, Rudolf's eyes flickered, and Conrad was rather embarrassed.

"Everyone, what are your thoughts?" Klein gave a half-smile, staring at these Old geezers in front of her.

Bolvar coldly snorted, knowing Klein was here to flaunt her might. They had just refused to provide support, and then the news of Li Yu's overwhelming victory arrived, fiercely slapping their faces.

"Duke Li Yu has a bright future and formidable combat Strength. This is also a Good Thing for our Return Star." Conrad changed his tune and smiled.

"Indeed, the Empress has great foresight in fully supporting Duke Li Yu. Now, it can be considered paying off." Rudolf added.

Only Bolvar kept a cold face, very displeased. The reactions of the other two Old geezers didn't exceed his expectations.

Now Li Yu's combat Strength was world-shocking, defeating the Abyss Sovereign, Istrala, and even Silver Shooting Star.

And by analogy, Li Yu could also kill the three of them.

Although they also knew that Li Yu must have used some bizarre method, who could guarantee that method couldn't be used a second time?

Therefore, Rudolf and Conrad didn't mind saying a few good words.

Although he could understand their thoughts, Bolvar was still very unhappy. What exactly was Li Yu eating to make his Strength skyrocket so fiercely?

"Since the three of you consider your Identity noble and ordinary affairs can't involve you, it's best you stay that way in the future. Just stay high and mighty." Klein's expression changed, saying coldly.

Hearing this, the eyes of the three changed, sharply noticing the deeper meaning behind Klein's words.

Klein was going to use the momentum of Li Yu's victory to conduct another purge.

And this purge would likely affect the interests of the three of them.

Previously, although Klein cleared out dissidents on a large scale, she didn't touch the interests of these three Old geezers to avoid resistance.

But this time, utilizing Li Yu's prestige, she was going to make a move!

Rudolf and Conrad Hesitated to Speak, but ultimately didn't open their mouths, just that their faces grew much colder.

They chose not to support Li Yu previously; they would just consider this as spending money to eliminate disaster.
