Chapter 611: Takeover
Even though the Abyss Sovereign now lacked vision in the general sense, he could still observe the outside world through his Attention.
Li Yu's transformation was naturally seen clearly by him as well.
"Why would it be you?" he also couldn't help but say, but immediately realized, muttering in a low voice: "Right, how could it not be you? All the characteristics point to you."
"But why didn't I... think of it before?"
This question sent shivers all over his body. Now that Li Yu had restored his original appearance, the special influence from [Black Widow] naturally vanished as well. This made the Abyss Sovereign feel as if the clouds had parted.
But the influence from before was solid. Various characteristics had already been laid out before him, practically explicitly stating that this guy was Li Yu.
Yet, he and his people were like they were possessed, completely not suspecting that the balding Middle-Aged Man from before was Li Yu.
This was clearly a method to influence the mind. And what terrified him the most was that this method was completely silent, making him not feel a thing.
Along with the time reversal, the Dimensional Black Abyss also gradually disappeared. The computer page on the Main Control Console also continuously went backward.
Li Yu let out a long breath and lowered the Infinity Gauntlet. With a raise of his hand, he fired an energy wave, completely shattering the Main Control Console.
Accompanied by crackling sparks, the screen on the control console gradually dimmed. And what dimmed along with it was the Abyss Sovereign's heart.
He raised his head and sighed sorrowfully. "Li Yu, I never expected that in the end..."
Li Yu had already walked up. With his five fingers spread, he aimed at the Abyss Sovereign's head and said: "No need to say more, it's all in this Light Beam."
He didn't hesitate. An incomparably dazzling Energy Beam shot out from his palm, piercing through the Abyss Sovereign's head without any obstruction. His body gradually annihilated into particles silently.
The other High Echelon members in the room Looked at Each Other in Dismay, feeling a bit of Sympathy for a Fallen Comrade. After all, they had spent time with this Leader day and night for a long time.
Seeing him die helplessly before their eyes like this, it was definitely impossible to say their hearts didn't have any ripples.
"Everyone, what are your plans?" Li Yu tilted his head, staring at the numerous High Echelon members: "Are you going to follow your Boss to the grave, or pledge allegiance to a new enlightened master?"
He was plainly asking them if they wanted to live or die.
The expressions of the numerous High Echelon members hesitated. How many of them were willing to die?
But to surrender directly would seem a bit too spineless, and they still couldn't quite bring themselves to do it.
"Heh, you underestimate us too much. We will never submit!" An untimely voice rang out. The numerous High Echelon members looked towards the corner with unkind expressions.
The one speaking was a piece of Crystal. Crystal Emperor's body was completely crimson right now. He roared furiously: "Don't think we are all cowards who cling to life and fear death. Let me tell you, I, Crystal Emperor, would rather die..."
Bang!
Before he could finish speaking, his entire person exploded into fine powder, scattering on the ground, sparkling.
"Ah oh, accidentally used too much force. I was originally thinking of keeping his corpse, it would definitely be good material." Li Yu wore a look of regret, then looked at the crowd again, sighing:
"I didn't expect everyone to be so Utterly Loyal. It was my insult to you all. I'll send you on your way to follow the Abyss Sovereign right now!"
"No, don't!" Someone hurriedly raised their hand, terrified that if they were a step too late, they would end up with the same fate as Crystal Emperor.
"Crystal Emperor is an Idiot. We are not like him."
"That's right, you need someone to carefully introduce this place to you. We are the perfect candidates."
"..."
Everyone was very proactive, scrambling to be the first. With Crystal Emperor as an example, they didn't dare have any hesitation.
The corners of Li Yu's mouth curled up slightly, looking at this scene of begging for mercy before him.
Suddenly, he retracted the smile on his face. No, his smile right now looked too much like a Villain.
"Alright, I believe everyone is a sensible person. Then please help me deal with those very troublesome things outside right now." Li Yu adjusted his smile, becoming amiable and sunny.
Li Yu raised the Infinity Gauntlet. The Main Control Console he had just destroyed was restored to its original state in the blink of an eye.
The Power of Time was just that arbitrary.
"I'll do it..." One of the High Echelon members rapidly stepped forward and operated on the Main Control Console for a while. Silver-white metal cylinders rose from various parts of the Base, emitting invisible waves.
When those Dimensional Vitalized Beings came into contact with these waves, they rapidly decomposed into their original forms, and then flew towards the firmament.
"Your Excellency Li Yu, these are Dimensional Vitalized Beings. It's very difficult for them to fuse for too long, as they are inherently somewhat unstable. As long as we use some special little tricks, we can magnify this instability."
While operating, that person also thoughtfully explained it to Li Yu.
"Oh, so this thing is a Dimensional Vitalized Being. Worthy of the Abyss Institute, impressive." Li Yu praised from the bottom of his heart.
These Dimensional Vitalized Beings were indeed very impressive. If he hadn't used temporal methods to forcibly bypass these guys, dealing with them once they fused into one entity would probably be troublesome.
Hearing Li Yu's praise, everyone felt a bit ashamed in their hearts. After all, they had all now become prisoners.
"Right, what's your name?" Li Yu asked.
That High Echelon member's body shook, and he hurriedly said: "The Lord, you can call me Deni. I am the person in charge of intelligence at the Abyss Institute. If you have any doubts about us, you can look for me."
"So you're the intelligence chief. No wonder you're so adaptable." Li Yu nodded and said: "Deni, open all the external defenses of the Abyss Institute."
Even though they were already prepared, hearing this sentence still made everyone's hearts tremble uncontrollably.
This meant that the Abyss Institute was truly going to completely change owners. Li Yu was probably going to take over this place.
Everyone's mood was complex. No one could have expected this to be the final outcome.
Deni froze for a moment. His grey-white skin looked like a corpse, but he immediately began operating on the Main Control Console.
Li Yu stared at the other party's operations. With the Time Stone, he wasn't afraid of the other party playing any tricks.
And Deni indeed had no intention of going down with the Abyss Institute. Accompanied by a rumbling sound.
The sky screen of this space seemed to be opened. Dazzling Starlight replaced the Artificial Light Sources, sprinkling down on this Base.
On the metal Surface of the entire Base, there were marks left by the battle almost everywhere. A large number of parts and debris fragments covered the Ground, and gunpowder smoke billowed.
The massive body of the Death Star was reflected in the eyes of the surviving Abyss Institute soldiers.
Li Yu didn't intend to give up this secret Base that had been operated by the Abyss Institute for a long time.
The specific location of this place was only known by the High Echelon of the Abyss Institute and him. Even if it was breached by him, it was still highly classified to the outside world.
However, the Dimension worlds existing in this place, he planned to feed them all to the Jade Void Palace. It would be enough to perfect it to a certain extent.
And a few days later, the Jade Void Palace arrived here. When Li Yu set off for here, he had already let the Jade Void Palace follow him.
"I never expected that when I was working for the Abyss Institute, I never had the chance to set foot here. But now that I'm working for you, I've actually entered this place."
Sakura, draped in a white researcher coat, strode with her long legs, hands in her pockets. Looking up and surveying her surroundings, she pushed up the glasses on her nose and said: "It truly is, the unpredictability of the world..."
Transformers and armor-clad soldiers continuously walked out from the Jade Void Palace, entering this place to begin the takeover.
They were clearing The Ruins and locking down core data Authority. This was a complex task that would take some time to complete.
"I've known for a long time that Doctor Sakura had this regret. How could I turn a blind eye to it? No matter what, I had to bring you to see it," Li Yu joked, then waved his hand and pointed: "This place will be handed over to you from now on."
A strange gleam flashed in Sakura's bright eyes. "Hand it all over to me? Are you really at ease?"
Nonsense, you're the only Tool Person in my hands who's proficient in Dimensional Technology. If I don't hand it over to you, who do I hand it to?
Li Yu complained inwardly, but on the surface, he said solemnly: "Of course."
Sakura couldn't help but be eager to give it a try. She said: "I plan to let the Jade Void Palace Devour all the Dimension worlds attached to this space."
"The Abyss Institute didn't have technology like the Dimensional Ship, they could only roughly stack them together."
"But we are different." The more she spoke, the more excited she became.
"And the Dimension Activation Technology. It truly is an astonishing technological method. If paired with the Dimensional Ship, it might burst forth with a dazzling brilliance that makes people take notice."
"Go ahead and do it..." Li Yu showed a programmatic smile and patted her shoulder.
In the following days, the Jade Void Palace began to gorge itself massively.
The total number of Dimension worlds attached to this Base was forty-one. Ten of them were relatively powerful and could support A4-tier Agents.
The rest weren't considered too powerful. Under the Devouring of the Jade Void Palace, the Dimension worlds here began to collapse. The situation was no different from other Dimension worlds decaying and dying.
Energy expanded and overflowed, space was pulled and torn, and the Starlight dimmed one by one.
On the outer layer of this space, bizarre Light Spots appeared one after another—these were the traces left behind after the Dimension worlds vanished.
……………
Benfir Civilization - Kazil Star System. The youth Ponka had just returned from school, sweating profusely from exhaustion. He pushed open the door and shouted: "Food, I want to eat!"
"Wait a moment, it's not ready yet. Go do your homework quickly!" A grumpy scolding came from the kitchen.
"I'll write it after eating!" Ponka lay directly on the sofa, casually picking up the Smart Terminal on the table, familiarly entered the password, and then pulled up a Holographic Screen with a flick of his wrist.
Subsequently, he entered the words "Dragon Sovereign" into the search bar, and a large number of pages popped up.
He browsed with great interest, still muttering: "Where did I leave off yesterday? Seems to be the Battle of Amethyst, haven't finished watching the battle video..."
"That's really awesome. A real Man should embrace mechas and Guns."
As Li Yu's fame gradually rose, some of his early battle videos also began to circulate widely.
Someone even specially made them into an album, using the Timeline as nodes for detailed categorization, which was widely welcomed by some teenagers.
"Ponka!" A sharp shout came. A Man who looked slightly dark-skinned rushed out of the kitchen, glaring fiercely at the youth on the sofa.
"I just changed the password, how did you open it again!?"
"Tch, if it's not your birthday, it's my birthday. It's too simple." Ponka couldn't help but say.
"You, asking for a beating!" The Man trembled with anger.
"This is a social studies assignment, requiring us to understand the rise of the Dragon Sovereign." Ponka hurriedly said.
The Man stared suspiciously at his son. It wasn't until Ponka flipped the Smart Terminal around and the Man realized it indeed wasn't a game or the like that he breathed a sigh of relief, turning to instruct:
"Since it's to understand Your Excellency Dragon Lord, then understand it properly. Absolutely don't slack off. This is our renowned Hero."
"Of course I know." Ponka nodded smugly.
The Man was just about to go back and continue cooking. Right at this moment, a message suddenly forcefully popped up on the Smart Terminal--
It was their temporary president, Sage. With a solemn expression, he said:
"Citizens of the Benfir Civilization, I now inform you with great sorrow that the Black Exodus Virus within our civilization's borders has reached an uncontrollable state.
I have already established contact with Your Excellency Dragon Lord. He will open a large number of spatial nodes on every Life Planet. Through the spatial nodes, you can travel to new planets.
Citizens, please do not be nervous, do not panic. Proceed orderly to the nearest spatial node. During this process, law enforcement agencies will strictly monitor. Please do not have any thoughts of causing trouble."
Hearing this news, the Man's pupils instantly quaked. His face turned pale, and the cooking utensils dropped to the ground.
Ponka, on the other hand, was somewhat excited. "We're really going to migrate. I heard them say the migration process takes a lot of time. During this time, we won't have to go to class or do homework."
"Right, the Dragon Sovereign said he would protect our safety and let us migrate!" The Man seemed to have found a psychological anchor and gradually gained some spirit, scolding sharply: "Stop playing, hurry up and pack your things for the transfer."
"The Black Exile isn't a joking matter. Fifteen Star Systems in our civilization have already been destroyed by it!"
"Oh, oh..." Ponka rolled over and hurriedly rushed back to his room to pack his things.
Scenes like this were happening in the vast majority of places in the Benfir Civilization.
After continuous paving through Public Opinion channels during this period, although this news was sudden, it didn't cause too much panic.
They knew they would be going to a new planet to start a new life.
But the entire civilization system would migrate for this, and wealth would be preserved, so they weren't too nervous.
