Chapter 623: Deterrence (Happy New Year)

After dealing with Number Two, Li Yu glanced at Number Three's situation. This guy had currently dealt with some Gangs, all of which had Bafflingly provoked him.

This made him make some sort of a name for himself. He didn't develop in the direction of a super Villain, but instead obtained a blue title [Evil Nemesis].

Number Three seemed to want to be a good person.

But due to the troublemaking behavior of a certain unknown Avatar last time, this face had already been noted down by Batman and Superman.

After all, this face almost killed Batman last time. Unfortunately, Superman, who routinely peeked on his best buddy, appeared in time and saved Batman.

With the influence of this matter, if Number Three wanted to be a good person, it probably wouldn't be that simple.

.........

Bados Civilization, Homeworld, Government Affairs Building, Cabinet Conference Room.

The form of the Bados Civilization was quite special. They were a clan-style civilization, and their civilization ruler was also the clan Leader.

This system clearly had drawbacks, but for Marc, these weren't problems at all. His Strength and prestige were his right to speak; no one could make him a figurehead.

It's just that some news recently circulating On the interstellar stage caused some turmoil within the Bados Civilization.

The Morton Civilization released news, claiming they had already obtained the support of Returning Star. Your Excellency Dragon Lord would personally come to the Morton Civilization to deal with some factions harboring evil intentions.

Although they weren't directly named, the people of the Bados Civilization knew their own deeds.

Recently, the one oppressing the Morton Civilization the most ruthlessly was them.

This aroused the worry of the Citizens of the Bados Civilization, afraid that the Dragon Lord would come to settle accounts with them. After all, the Dragon Lord's prestige was still very frightening.

At the same time, they were also afraid that Returning Star would truly intervene in the situation here.

Under various worries, a considerable number of people secretly blamed their own civilization--

Why push the Morton Civilization so hard? After all, they were one of the founding civilizations of the Civilization Alliance, their foundation still remained.

This kind of viewpoint spread widely on the Bados Civilization's network.

Due to unease about the future situation and fear of the Dragon Lord, a small group of people developed dissatisfaction towards Marc, their Leader.

As for the benefits Marc brought them, it didn't affect their judgment.

A Gram Of Help Breeds Thanks, A Kilogram Breeds Hate is human nature for some people.

Unfortunately, Marc couldn't truly replace the Morton Civilization and become a founding civilization of the Civilization Alliance in a short period of time, otherwise, this group of people would also sing the praises of his merits.

However, the extreme views of a small number of people couldn't affect the stability of a large civilization's government.

Marc's control over the Ethnic Group wasn't made of paper either.

The cabinet issued instructions, having people propagate on the Interstellar Network--

This was a matter between their Bados Civilization and the Morton Civilization, and it should be handled by the two civilizations themselves.

The Dragon Lord's coming this time had nothing to do with the actions of the Bados Civilization, it was completely Meddle in Others' Affairs.

At the same time, they dealt with a batch of guys harboring evil intentions, ruthlessly suppressed a batch of dissatisfied remarks, and controlled Public Opinion.

At this moment, in the cabinet conference room, numerous High Echelons were discussing how to deal with the Dragon Lord's arrival, each holding their own views and arguing fiercely.

Right at this moment, a High Echelon received a piece of intelligence, slapped the Table, stood up, and read out the intelligence:

"There is already clear news, the Dragon Lord has already arrived at the Morton Civilization."

"It can basically be confirmed, this isn't the Morton Civilization using him to scare people, the Dragon Lord has really come."

In the conference room, everyone's face carried a bit of tense emotion.

Although they had received news before, that was merely a unilateral claim by the Morton Civilization. Returning Star hadn't issued any statement.

They originally still held a trace of illusion, thinking this was the Morton Civilization deliberately scaring them.

However, having just received the intelligence, the Dragon Lord indeed appeared in the Morton Civilization, and the Morton Civilization was currently holding a welcome ceremony.

"Damn it, he wasn't staying properly in Returning Star, why would he suddenly back up the Morton Civilization!?" Someone's face was gloomy. "What benefits can the Morton Civilization offer?"

"Don't care about what the Morton Civilization exactly paid. Right now, the most urgent matter is how to handle this. Could it be that the moment the Dragon Lord shows his face, we have to withdraw all our plans?" Someone's tone was dissatisfied.

"Then what should we do, are we going to directly start a war? With the Dragon Lord, or the Other-Dimensional Camp, or Returning Star?" A cabinet High Echelon looked around.

While everyone was arguing, a projection appeared in the very center of the conference room. It was precisely the supreme ruler of the Bados Civilization--Marc.

The Bados Civilization was developed from a species called Bados.

They were a humanoid species, their skin a blue-purple color, and their eyes had concentric ripples, looking very peculiar.

The moment Marc appeared, the chaotic atmosphere present instantly became solemn, and everyone looked towards their Leader.

Marc looked around and said in a deep voice: "The Morton Civilization has just notified me. The Dragon Lord will come visit very soon, asking us to be prepared."

"What does that mean?" Someone asked in confusion.

"What else could it mean? The other party is clearly using power to suppress people. The Dragon Lord... heh..." The High Echelons let out unclear sneers.

"Even if he has some prestige, wanting to help the Morton Civilization solve their biggest trouble with just a few words, isn't that a bit too arrogant."

Li Yu's Strength was very strong. The ambush battle in the Benfir Civilization hadn't passed that long ago, and the numerous High Echelons hadn't forgotten.

One could even say a large part of them had watched that battle Recording and remembered it deeply.

The Dragon Lord's current name could indeed deter some small civilizations and affect the rise and fall of a civilization.

But their Bados wasn't a small civilization. Since they sought to replace the Morton Civilization's position in the Civilization Alliance, they naturally had their confidence.

The overall Strength of their civilization was not to be underestimated. Although it couldn't compare to Returning Star.

It wasn't made of mud either. It was impossible to be scared to death just because someone came over and scolded them casually.

"That's right, just let him come. I want to see what abilities he actually has?"

"If he wants to start a war with us, he also has to weigh whether it's worth it."

"What I'm worried about isn't this point." Marc shook his head: "If he is purely here for the Morton Civilization, what's the harm in giving him this face, it's nothing more than wasting some time."

"He couldn't possibly stay in the Morton Civilization for a long time."

"You mean?"

Numerous High Echelons exchanged glances, and someone spoke up.

"I'm afraid the Morton Civilization is just an excuse, and his true purpose is probably... other matters..." Marc's eyes flickered. The people behind him had already warned him to handle this carefully and determine the other party's true purpose.

"This..." The numerous High Echelons felt a chill in their hearts. As the true High Echelon of the Bados Civilization.

They also knew that the shadow of a massive faction had always been faintly visible behind their own civilization, supporting them.

They didn't know the true origin of that faction, only knowing that the decline of the Morton Civilization was inextricably linked to the other party.

The other party also only spoke directly with the Leader of the Bados Civilization and wouldn't bother with small fries like them.

If the Dragon Lord's purpose was for that hidden faction, then it would be troublesome.

"If that's the case, should we strike first to gain the upper hand?" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in someone's eyes.

"How to strike first to gain the upper hand?" Marc asked back. "Currently, we still can't confirm the other party's purpose, there's no need to act recklessly."

"Make preparations first, and wait for the other party to come to our door." Marc issued the order, beginning to mobilize the strong individuals within the Ethnic Group to deal with any accidents that might occur.

.........

"We have already notified the Bados Civilization, but they haven't replied." Gosling carefully followed behind Li Yu.

"Since you've notified them, that's fine. We can just go directly to their door when the time comes." Li Yu said casually. The welcome ceremony of the Morton Civilization had just ended, and there was still garbage left from the banquet scattered around.

"Okay." Listening to Li Yu's domineering words, Gosling couldn't help but feel envious in his heart. This was the confidence brought by Strength.

Even if the other party was a hundred times unwilling, they could only Swallow One's Pride.

He glanced at the other person beside Li Yu. The other party's face had been blurred by a special device, making it very difficult to see clearly.

But seeing the other party's casual posture, they didn't seem to have a subordinate relationship with Li Yu.

Gosling secretly guessed the other party's Identity in his heart, feeling more and more that Li Yu's purpose for coming this time was probably very unusual.

However, the Morton Civilization had already declined to this extent, even if it got worse, where could it go?

Li Yu didn't exchange too many pleasantries with Gosling. He directly requested the partial data left behind by the Morton Civilization regarding the Thunder Battle Armor.

This was a Titan Artifact from the Thunder Titans. Its main function was to allow the user to possess combat power beyond the norm.

But if one's own power was insufficient, it would also bring a powerful backlash.

Its entire body was divided into three parts: Helmet, body armor, and cape.

The gathering of all three was the true Thunder Battle Armor.

However, if one wanted to use the Thunder Battle Armor, they also needed to pass a special inspection.

"We have lost the Thunder Battle Armor for too long, many data can no longer be verified, and we also don't understand what this inspection means." Gosling explained.

Li Yu glanced at him and didn't say much. He guessed that the so-called inspection was probably to detect if the user was a Titan.

During their peak period, the Morton Civilization probably had a way to bypass this inspection.

However, for Li Yu, he was already a Royal Blood Titan, naturally unafraid of this kind of detection.

Moreover, even if he obtained the Thunder Battle Armor, the best way to use it was to embed it into the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor], rather than wearing it directly.

He didn't care about this point.

"Your Excellency Dragon Lord, for you to come and support us, we are naturally very happy, but there are some things that still need to be told to you in advance." Gosling hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice:

"Please do not underestimate the Bados Civilization. Although the Bados Civilization doesn't have a prominent reputation On the interstellar stage, in reality, their Strength is extremely solid."

"Furthermore... their speed of rise is somewhat astonishingly fast, very abnormal. Perhaps there is someone behind them."

"Oh..." Li Yu looked at Gosling with some surprise, "Mr. President seems to know quite a lot."

Gosling smiled bitterly: "If the Bados Civilization was still that small civilization from before, no matter how much we declined, we wouldn't be bullied by them like this."

"I understand. Mr. President doesn't need to worry." Li Yu nodded, his expression indifferent, seemingly unsurprised.

This verified a certain guess in Gosling's heart. The reason Li Yu came was probably not just for the Thunder Battle Armor.

.........

Early the next morning, Li Yu led his people and headed towards the Bados Civilization in a mighty formation.

Including Loyd with his hidden Identity, as well as the Local Tyrant Nikas.

This old guy's enthusiasm for bullying the Bados Civilization was unusually high, finding quite a few people from his own Ethnic Group to come and keep up appearances.

The group of people advanced openly and ostentatiously. The Bados Civilization didn't dare to block them directly either, and could only designate a certain receiving planet for them.

The Spaceship parked in the Interior administrative area of this planet.

After getting off the Spaceship, the person in charge who welcomed everyone led Li Yu's group to the Reception Room.

The other party was somewhat nervous, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat.

The Bados soldiers all around were nervous and guarded, staring fixedly at Li Yu's group, tightly clenching the firearms in their hands.

Nikas, on the other hand, was used to the fearful gazes of others, or rather, he didn't care about the attitudes of lower-tier lifeforms, his demeanor composed.

Li Yu's side was sizing up the surrounding environment. The architectural style of the Bados Civilization was very avant-garde interstellar, mainly consisting of irregular buildings.

Arriving at the Reception Room, everyone took their seats one after another. The person in charge wiped his sweat and said carefully: "The High Echelons are rushing over, please wait a moment, everyone."

Nikas sat properly on the sofa, his aura extremely powerful, and said coldly: "When is Marc coming?"

"I, I don't know..."

Forced by the aura, the person in charge felt a blockage in his throat. He almost lost his composure on the spot and couldn't speak, only barely opening his mouth to stutter a reply.

"You don't know!?" Nikas's expression turned fierce. "We notified Marc long ago. Why didn't he prepare early?"

"The Leader has been very busy lately, maybe... maybe..." The person in charge stuttered, unable to speak.

"Stop bullying him. We are here as hostile guests, it's a bit too much to expect the other party to treat us with courtesy."

Li Yu lay on the sofa and casually tasted the beverage placed on the Table. His face instantly filled with disgust as he said:

"What kind of trash beverage is this? Can't you get something good? Marc is going too far!"

Nikas's Face Twitched. You just told me not to mind, yet you end up cursing Marc out over a cup of beverage. You are way too double-standard.

At this point, Nikas couldn't be bothered to talk either, closing his eyes there to rest his mind.

Wishing all bosses a happy new year, may everything go well, and make a big fortune, hehe. Asking for some tickets at the beginning of the month, double recently oh.
