Chapter 622: A "Gift" from Odin
"The Empire actually sent Your Royal Highness to accompany me. This is taking it too seriously." Li Yu had a surprised expression, staring at Loyd who came to notify him.
Loyd's smile was amiable: "It's only natural. This is our first cooperation, and the Forerunners are not to be underestimated. I will act as the commander-in-chief for the Empire."
"Another fleet has already set off secretly towards the border of the Bados Civilization."
Acting required doing a full set, but Li Yu didn't expect the Star Glory Empire to actually send Loyd to follow him.
If he hadn't known the truth in advance, he probably would have sighed in admiration at the Star Glory Empire's generous hand.
Although he wasn't too fond of Loyd, as the First Successor of the Empire, his Identity was extremely prestigious.
The Heads of State and rulers of some large civilizations had to Bow and Scrape before him.
To think that in order to completely Con him, the Star Glory Empire sent Loyd.
"However, our intelligence system finds it very difficult to operate in Bados, and the information obtained is limited. What was told to Your Excellency before was already all the information."
"It's fine. If you investigated everything crystal clear, I would instead doubt the authenticity of the matter. After all, the Abyss Institute is also a large Armed Organization, not so easy to investigate."
Li Yu said with a half-smile, but his words made Loyd's heart skip a beat. Loyd changed the subject, saying: "Has Your Excellency found a point of entry? If we blindly head to the Bados Civilization, it will probably be very difficult to make any progress."
"Already found one." Li Yu smiled slightly and said: "The Morton Civilization."
"They have suffered oppression from the Bados Civilization for a long time. Some time ago, the ambassador of the Morton Civilization even came to seek support."
"Empress Klein couldn't bear to see the Morton Civilization, which is also a founding civilization of the Civilization Alliance, fall to such a state, so she asked me to go and support them."
"This point of entry is quite reasonable, right?"
Loyd frowned slightly, his fingers uncontrollably tapping the armrest. After a moment, he said: "Entering openly, won't it be too conspicuous? My suggestion is to enter secretly and investigate the specific situation first."
"If we are too ostentatious, we might arouse the other party's vigilance."
"Haha..." Li Yu chuckled. Unpeeling the Cocoon was too slow.
Most of the information the Star Glory Empire gave him was about the Abyss Institute, which was completely useless information.
But he himself knew that what might appear within the Bados Civilization was the Forerunners. If he really infiltrated secretly and investigated slowly, who knows how long it would take.
"Too slow. We are in the light, they are in the dark. Even if we infiltrate secretly, we can't hide it for long." Li Yu retracted his smile and said coldly: "What I want is precisely to Alert The Enemy. Panic leads to mistakes!"
Loyd was somewhat Speechless. Do you think the Abyss Institute is retarded? They'll just jump out when you scare them?
No, Loyd's expression changed slightly. There was no Abyss Institute in that place, only Forerunners.
Moreover, it was an extremely important Base for them. Being suddenly scared by Li Yu like this, maybe they really could be scared into revealing something.
However, their goal was also to cause a conflict between the Other-Dimensional Camp and the Forerunners. Although this process was a bit direct, the outcome would roughly be the same.
It's just that the delayed time might be slightly shortened. When that time comes, they could only act according to circumstances.
He actually managed to stumble upon a decent point of entry.
Various thoughts flashed through Loyd's mind. Finally, he smiled and said:
"Your Excellency Dragon Lord's actions are indeed unexpected. This operation is primarily led by you. Since you have determined the action plan, I have no objections."
"Haha, that's good." Li Yu smiled very radiantly, seemingly very happy.
......
In the Morton Civilization ambassador's rest room, wails were currently ringing out one after another.
"President Gosling, I truly let you down, I failed to live up to your expectations!" The Morton Civilization ambassador wailed, tears shooting out like a water pillar.
"I didn't even get to see Her Royal Highness Empress Klein's face. They... they, seem unwilling to support us..."
"I have failed Morton!"
Gosling's cheek twitched. Staring at the continuously wailing ambassador, he sighed and said: "Ambassador Kili, this matter cannot be blamed on you. It's all because we ourselves failed to put up a good show, which led to this current situation."
"It also caused you to lose face outside, welcomed by no one."
"Mr. President!" Hearing this sentence, Kili immediately cried even louder, almost fainting from sobbing.
Ding dong!
A knock came from the door. Kili's expression instantly converged, his voice turning deep as he said: "Who is it? What's the matter?"
Seeing this scene, Gosling inexplicably felt an urge to complain.
"Ambassador Kili, Your Excellency Dragon Lord invites you." The voice from outside the door made Kili pause.
"Dragon Lord?" Gosling also heard it, unable to help but feel somewhat excited: "Is the Dragon Lord preparing to support us?"
"Mr. President, this matter is relatively complicated to explain. Don't hold too much hope for now." Kili sighed, thinking of Loyd and Li Yu.
"But rest assured, I will try my utmost best to beseech Your Excellency Dragon Lord's support."
He straightened his clothes, closed the communication, took a deep breath, and walked out of the room.
Two hours later, Ambassador Kili walked back with quick steps. He was excited, his face flushed, and his fists clenched tightly.
After locking the room door, he couldn't wait to dial Gosling's Communication Link. The moment it connected, he said excitedly: "Mr. President, great news."
"Your Excellency Dragon Lord just agreed. He will personally head to the Bados Civilization and demand they cease their secret petty tricks."
"Your Excellency Dragon Lord even hinted that if they don't agree, he wouldn't mind using some forceful methods."
Gosling blinked, even failing to react for a moment. Only after a while did he suddenly stand up and couldn't help saying: "Really!?"
"Really. Your Excellency Dragon Lord has already confirmed it. He has dispatched his Transformation Legion to return with me. Once I arrive, he can use dimensional traversal to descend directly." Kili said excitedly.
"What exactly is going on?" Gosling paced back and forth, the expression on his face gradually changing from excitement to doubt: "Is Your Excellency Dragon Lord really this kind-hearted?"
The Good Thing came too suddenly, making him somewhat unaccustomed. Thinking carefully, he felt something was amiss.
Although he hadn't interacted with Li Yu up close, he was still a civilization leader after all. For these big shots, not doing things that incur a loss was their rule of conduct most of the time.
Hearing this, Kili also reined in his expression. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "I communicated with Your Excellency Dragon Lord once. In his words, he was quite interested in the Thunder Battle Armor."
"Thunder Battle Armor?" Gosling was somewhat astonished, but breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as there's a clear goal."
"You're not angry?" Kili cautiously observed Gosling's expression.
"The Thunder Battle Armor hasn't been in our hands for a long time. Even if the Dragon Lord has designs on it, it has nothing to do with us." Gosling shook his head, sighed, and said:
"On the contrary, for the Dragon Lord to be willing to help us deal with our currently biggest trouble on account of this thing is already very good."
Kili nodded, he also had this thought. The Thunder Battle Armor was no longer theirs. If it could still exert its final bit of residual heat, it was already very good.
"You did very well, Kili. The civilization should be grateful to you." Gosling said solemnly.
Hearing this, Kili tightened his lips, his eyes turning red. Truly unable to bear it anymore, he suddenly wailed: "Mr. President, why let you take over such an awful mess, you shouldn't be like this!"
Gosling just smiled bitterly and shook his head, not saying anything.
Returning to the Morton Civilization from Returning Star, even with the help of a Stargate, would take over half a month.
Li Yu didn't plan to waste time on the road. Instead, he found Bolvar and those other Tool Persons and started fighting again.
Nikas truly couldn't bear it anymore. The memorial ceremony had ended, and he didn't want to stay with this madman for another minute.
"I heard your race and Bados have constant friction, with quite a few casualties every year." Li Yu pulled Nikas, not letting him leave.
"What do you mean?" Nikas's expression changed slightly. After this period of beatings, the few of them had established a fairly good friendship.
The originally tense relationship had eased. In the words of Nikas, this Celestial Dragon, it was--
"Everyone is a figure standing at the pinnacle of the Interstellar. As long as it's not a life-and-death enmity, there are no grudges that can't be resolved."
"Spar with me for a few days, and I'll help you bully the Bados Civilization when the time comes." Li Yu wasn't prepared to let go of this Free Strong Labor. Bados would inevitably involve battles, so finding an extra helper was always good.
"Anyway, you'll also waste time on the road going back. Why don't we brothers stay together and fight every day, fighting, fighting, how carefree. When the time comes, we can reach there in one step using my Dimensional Rift."
Nikas thought about it, and it wasn't completely impossible. The number of their Spirit Devourers was relatively sparse compared to other Interstellar Races.
They mainly fed on minerals. Minerals were a limited resource, and the active range of their Ethnic Group was not far from the Bados Civilization.
They had had multiple frictions in competing for interstellar resources. At the very beginning, the Bados Civilization didn't dare to confront them head-on.
But for some reason these past few years, the civilization's power expanded rapidly, and there were several times they were beaten so badly they fled in disarray.
Nikas had been unhappy for a long time, but his own Strength wasn't enough to shake Bados, so he could only swallow his anger.
If Li Yu, this pervert, was willing to stand up for them, that would be for the best.
Poor Nikas, he still didn't know he had already become a thug in Li Yu's eyes.
Naively thinking that he only needed to be a sparring partner for a period of time to obtain Li Yu's help.
Bolvar and the others already wanted to Make a quick escape, but heard Li Yu say: "Bolvar, stop them for me, otherwise I will have Klein kill your entire royal family."
"Then I'll have a few little babies with Klein, and we'll see what the surname of Returning Star will be in the end?"
Hearing this, Bolvar's heart twitched, and he couldn't help but curse angrily: "Are you even human!? You can even do such a thing!?"
"My reputation is absolutely trustworthy, guess if I can do it." Li Yu said with a beaming smile.
Bolvar took a deep breath and could only reluctantly block Rudolf and Conrad.
Rudolf and Conrad exchanged glances, having a new understanding of Li Yu's bottom line once again.
Regardless of whether the other party could do it, this method wasn't something an ordinary person could come up with.
Forget it, forget it, isn't it just beating this kid up for a few more days? At worst, we'll just use a bit more strength when the time comes.
Therefore, this matter was happily resolved. The Energy Detectors near the Central Star System continued to go off the charts for the next period of time, with constant roaring sounds.
"Motherf*cker, you Bastard, I'll let you think of such a plan to end a bloodline!" Bolvar's entire body burned with blazing flames. Every punch was Fists Meeting Flesh, his fury overflowing the heavens!
"Very good, remember this kind of anger, Bolvar. Come again!" Li Yu laughed heartily and charged forward.
......
A short half month passed in a flash. What interrupted Li Yu's fighting wasn't just Ambassador Kili arriving at Morton, but also a message from the System.
There was news from Number Two again. After Flee in disarray last time, not beyond Li Yu's expectations, he was quickly caught.
This time, the United Extermination Army laid an Inescapable Net. Odin even sought the support of other gods, forcefully locking onto Number Two's position and confining space, giving him no chance to escape again.
Despite fighting desperately to the death, Number Two was still nailed under the Spear of Eternity.
Yes... Odin made a move. The others truly weren't Number Two's match, they were just delivering food.
And during this encirclement, a large number of rewards naturally dropped. It's just that the most notable among them were only three items.
[Obtained Special Item--Wrath of the Gods: You killed the son of the God-King, causing the gods to share a common enemy and launch an encirclement against you.
Forcefully lock onto the target's position and launch an encirclement by the gods. If the target's Strength is powerful enough, they can resist the gods' encirclement.]
[Obtained Special Item--God-King Odin: As the God-King of Asgard, Odin possesses the power to look down upon the Nine Realms.
Temporarily obtain--God-King Form. Duration: 30 minutes.]
[Obtained Special Item--Eternal Sting: As God-King Odin's Weapon, the Spear of Eternity--Gungnir contains Odin's wrath.
A powerful strike thrown by Odin, containing the power of the Spear of Eternity.]
The three Cards flashing with brilliant radiance pleasantly surprised Li Yu. Although it was a pity he didn't completely obtain the Spear of Eternity, this was already very good.
However, the absurd thing was that Number Two didn't die.
Although he was nailed down, Odin didn't kill him on the spot. Instead, he captured him alive, preparing to publicly execute him to honor his son in Valhalla.
This was an ancient punishment. After all, if he wasn't killed on the spot, there was a certain risk.
But Odin's mind was set, he must let the enemy die in agony.
