Chapter 632: Instakilled?
Boom!
Like a roar echoing from the depths of the soul, the tip of the Spear of Eternity collided with the Shield surrounding the Thunder Battle Armor.
Immediately, an aftershock of collision that shook space-time erupted. The water-like ripples seemed to have no lethality.
But wherever they passed, everything was silently annihilated, leaving no trace behind.
The central collision point even twisted out a space-time Collapse area, like a Black Hole, and it was continuously expanding.
The surrounding experimental personnel let out horrified shouts. They were only researchers and didn't have very powerful Strength.
Under this kind of collision fluctuation, their only fate would be dying without a burial place.
Li Yu frowned slightly. These experimental personnel were still somewhat useful. At the very least, he still hadn't figured out what the Forerunners were researching here.
Immediately, the Time Stone on the [Infinity Gauntlet] flickered slightly, forming a Time Barrier in front of everyone, isolating those space-time distortion ripples.
The lingering fear in his eyes hadn't dissipated as he stared closely at the collision in front of him.
Even he would find it hard to shake Ring Heaven's defensive ability. Although this golden Long Spear was very powerful, it would probably be difficult to break through Ring Heaven.
Damn Alfonso, once I get rid of this attack, I will definitely make you die without a burial place!
Just as this thought flashed across his mind, he heard a sound like glass shattering, which made his emotions surge as he looked forward in disbelief.
He saw that the hexagonal Defense Barrier covering the Thunder Battle Armor had, at some unknown time, become covered in cracks, as if it would shatter at any moment.
"Ring Heaven... cracked!?"
Ales's throat bobbed. This was the Defensive Device protecting the Titan Artifact, an extremely high-level defense method of the Forerunners, and its single-target defensive ability was astonishing.
But now, it was broken!
Not good!
His expression changed drastically. Since Ring Heaven had been breached, the primary target of this golden Long Spear had once again become him.
Due to the collision with Ring Heaven, the light of the Spear of Eternity was slightly dimmed, seemingly having consumed quite a bit of power.
At the same time, because the Defense Barrier was shattered, the Thunder Battle Armor within also released a massive amount of Lightning Glow, seemingly a passive reaction.
But an invisible force caused it to deviate slightly from its original position, brushing past the Spear of Eternity.
Ales still didn't dare to relax in the slightest. Just as he was preparing to dodge again, he suddenly realized that the surrounding space-time was like a quagmire, making him sink deep into it.
Even his movements slowed down by several degrees.
The Power of Time!?
Ales abruptly looked towards Li Yu. Sure enough, the other party raised that bizarre Glove, and one of the gemstones was shining brilliantly.
"Break for me!"
The terrifying Power of Thunder exploded, forcefully breaking apart the surrounding Time Slowing Zone. As an Advanced Lifeform, the Power of Time wasn't something he had no solution for.
But this moment of delay was already enough for the Spear of Eternity to pierce into Ales's Corporeal Form.
"Ah——"
Ales widened his eyes. The painful wails sounded very miserable. A touch of golden light shot out from his back, instantly penetrating the heavy metal wall.
Looking from afar, a golden Light Beam shot out from the end of the pillar-shaped main Base. Many Spaceships that had hurried over due to the alarm and surrounded the area were accidentally injured, forming a series of massive explosions.
Numerous experimental personnel huddled together, looking not far away with horrified expressions.
The usually high and mighty Commander Ales was currently lying on the Ground like a dead dog, with a golden Long Spear stabbed into his chest.
Golden Chains covered in special symbols extended out from the Long Spear, firmly locking Ales in place.
He still had a breath left and didn't completely die. After all, before the Spear of Eternity pierced him, it had already consumed a massive amount of power.
He stared wide-eyed, his pupils constantly trembling. He could clearly feel that his body was being wantonly destroyed by the power within this golden Long Spear.
If he didn't receive timely medical treatment, then the only path waiting for him would be death!
A shadow gradually covered him, and Alfonso's face appeared before his eyes.
No... not Alfonso!
Ales opened his mouth wide, letting out a "Ho Ho" sound.
He saw that Alfonso's appearance was constantly changing, and soon turned into another person.
And this person, Ales already recognized. He had been frequently mentioned in his ears recently.
"Dragon Sovereign——Li Yu!?" He was horrified internally. He didn't expect Alfonso was actually Li Yu in disguise.
I actually didn't discover this earlier?
What kind of power is this? Alfonso clearly erupted with Strength that didn't belong to him at all, yet I didn't have any suspicions at the time!
This question was destined to have no answer.
Li Yu looked down at the dying Ales. His palm gently stroked the Spear of Eternity that hadn't yet dissipated. The cold touch made him fondle it admiringly.
What a pity, this thing will dissipate soon.
"You... you..." Ales's life signs were dissipating at an extremely fast speed. He couldn't say much now.
"I didn't originally intend to kill you. After all, you can be considered a High Echelon and should know quite a bit of information," Li Yu said in a low voice. "But, I didn't expect this thing to be so fierce, it seems to have Instakilled you."
"Right now, the only one who can save you is probably Salvation Ark, but I can't let them come over."
Speaking up to here, Li Yu paused and muttered: "I seem to still have a few tubes of Potion that can save you. But, although I didn't plan to kill you, I don't plan to expend the cost to save you either."
"After all, there are still a few managers upstairs. They know quite a bit too."
"Goodbye." Li Yu casually flicked the Spear of Eternity stabbed into Ales's body.
In an instant, intense pain swept through Ales's nerves, causing his body to stiffen abruptly, his pupils gradually dilating.
The Spear of Eternity gradually turned into golden Luminescence and dissipated on his Corporeal Form, and disappearing along with it was Ales's Corporeal Form.
"It really saves trouble..." The corner of Li Yu's mouth twitched. He turned his head and set his gaze on the Thunder Battle Armor floating in mid-air.
…………
At the same time, in the top-floor conference room, the few managers were sweating profusely. That blurry projection didn't say a word, and this silence tormented them.
"...Alfonso, he seems to be Ales's man. I remember this person once participated in the organization's internal potential training, and ranked among the top."
"Not long ago, Ales even nominated him for top-tier resource support, believing he had the opportunity to go a step further. He went through internal evaluation a few times, and the possibility of passing was very high."
The blurry projection slowly recounted. Although his tone was flat, it carried an astonishingly chilling power.
"It's truly a pity, to think he actually chose to betray the organization."
The few managers Look at Each Other in Dismay, secretly exchanging glances, cursing inwardly.
Damn Alfonso, this betrayal will definitely cause the High Echelon at Headquarters to lower their impression of this branch Base to the absolute minimum.
Once this matter is over, what awaits them is probably a great purge.
This wasn't alarmist talk. Headquarters' importance placed on Titan Artifacts was unquestionable; they wouldn't allow any possible threats to appear.
Not to mention this threat came from the inside.
"Ales had proposed many times to become the Controller of the Thunder Battle Armor. According to internal evaluation, his Superpower was related to the Thunder Element, and he was indeed a very suitable candidate."
"With him rendering Merit this time, I was originally preparing to discuss this matter, but what a pity..."
The few managers also secretly sighed. Naturally, they also knew about this matter.
They were people responsible for management and research, and didn't have a direct competitive threat with a pure martial artist like Ales.
So they were happy to see this matter succeed; after all, their relationship with Ales was fairly good.
It was a pity that because of this subordinate's betrayal, this matter had probably fallen through, and maybe even he himself would be affected.
"Please rest assured, Commander Ales will handle this matter properly and won't disappoint you," one manager said in a low voice.
Another person hurriedly added: "That's right, with the Sky-Encircling Defense Array around, the Thunder Battle Armor will definitely be perfectly safe."
"Of course it will be perfectly safe. Once Ring Heaven is activated, the first thing it does is not defensive work at all." The blurry projection snorted coldly: "It will construct an Information State Transmission Channel to directly connect with Headquarters. After waiting a certain amount of time, it will directly transmit the Thunder Battle Armor back."
"This kind of Information State Transmission Channel is extremely difficult to construct, but at the same time, it can avoid the effects of Space Anchoring."
There was such a thing?
The few managers were secretly shocked; this was something none of them knew about.
"Pure defense is just a Turtle shell, how could Ring Heaven be so simple." He explained a few sentences and didn't say more:
"Since this matter has already happened, the Thunder Battle Armor will soon be transmitted back to Headquarters. There's no need for you to stay there anymore."
"Clean up the traces, you can prepare for retreat work. As for the Bados Civilization... let them fend for themselves."
The few managers hurriedly nodded, but felt somewhat panicked internally. After all, they were local bosses here; once they returned to Headquarters, they would just be ordinary people.
But, right now they also didn't dare to have any opinions.
Just as they had their own thoughts, out of the corner of their eyes, they seemed to catch sight of something.
They turned to look. Through the glass window, they could clearly see a straight golden light shoot out from beneath the Base, causing a series of massive explosions, and then plunging into the depths of the sea of clouds.
Golden light?
This didn't match Ales's combat characteristics; after all, he was a Thunder Element Esper.
Not to mention Alfonso's combat power; they understood it, it was impossible for him to pose a threat to Ales.
But where did this golden light come from?
Because the surveillance probes at the bottom of the Base had already been destroyed, they temporarily didn't know what exactly happened.
But according to their estimation of the battle situation, this wasn't a stalemated battle.
Zila... zila!
At the same time, that blurry projection began to verge on collapse, as if it was being affected by something.
"You guys... what... signal... how..." The voice was intermittent, and soon the projection disappeared.
"The signal is experiencing Disruption, external communication has been cut off!"
An icy notification sound rang out in the room, making the hearts of the few managers turn cold.
At the same time, a Holographic Screen popped up in front of them. Someone reported in panic: "My lords, this is bad, a massive number of unknown fleets have suddenly appeared in the Space Orbit."
"According to preliminary estimates, it's suspected to be the Transformation Legion."
"Transformation Legion!?" They were horrified and subconsciously said: "How could this happen? Why would Li Yu's Transformation Legion appear here!?"
The picture on the Holographic Screen switched, astonishingly turning into a space detection map. What presented itself before them was an endless standard fleet.
And in front of these fleets were twelve enormous transforming Mechanical Bodies. They had various forms and held various bizarre Weapons.
"It really is the Transformation Legion!?"
The few managers stared at those Mechanical Lifeforms. They were no strangers to these Mechanical Lifeforms.
These twelve Mechanical Lifeforms were known as the Twelve Golden Immortals.
They had once followed Li Yu and shone brilliantly in several wars, and they themselves possessed powerful combat and Evolution abilities.
"The Surface Defense Array has already activated, the Wind-Thunder Firepower System is locking onto targets, and can launch an attack at any time!"
Listening to their subordinates' reports, their expressions didn't ease up at all.
Borrowing the unique natural environment of this Gas Giant Planet, they had developed a special defense and offense System.
The defense array covering the entire planet was enough to withstand enemy attacks.
But the key to determining the direction of the war now was no longer these defensive systems and firepower systems, but the lower levels of the Base, Ales's battle.
They had a rather bad premonition inwardly. If the最 powerful Ales encountered a problem, they wouldn't be able to hold on for too long either.
And the news that came later didn't give them any sense of security.
The Holographic Screen in front of them split, and another figure popped out. It was Regini, also Ales's subordinate.
He looked panicked as he transmitted a new video signal. This was the scene observed by external Spaceships.
After sensing the golden light shooting out from the bottom of the Base, a detection Spaceship locked onto the gap in the wall. Through the gap blasted out by that golden light, they Monitored this scene——
Ales lay on the Ground with a golden Long Spear stabbed into his chest. A figure walked out from the shadows deep within the Laboratory, his face constantly changing, from Alfonso, into——
Li Yu!
"My lords, this is the Recording from one minute ago, and now, Commander Ales has already been killed!" Regini's panicked voice became the final straw that crushed them.
The few staggered backwards, their faces ashen. They exchanged a look with each other, and only one word remained in their minds——
Finished!
There's a chapter under review, currently looking for an editor, wait a moment.
