"The Empire requests to divide a portion of forces to thoroughly investigate who exactly is pushing from behind, wanting to establish an A-Tier Alliance. Do you have any clues?"

After deciphering the encrypted message sent from an unknown communication number, this was the message obtained.

This was a little message from Loyd.

A magical thing had happened. The Star Glory Empire and the Other-Dimensional Camp were now in an irreconcilable time of war.

But the First Successor of the Empire and the true Controller of the Other-Dimensional Camp were secretly exchanging information regarding other matters.

As for to what extent the Star Glory Empire had investigated, or where exactly the Other-Dimensional Camp was, the two of them tacitly did not mention it.

After thinking for a while, Li Yu also sent an encrypted message over--

"No clues for now."

He didn't expect the Star Glory Empire to actually place so much importance on the matter of the A-Tier Alliance. Under these circumstances, they even divided a portion of forces to investigate.

Temporarily putting this matter to the back of his mind, this was just a sign, it wasn't time for it to completely begin yet.

It was just that he didn't expect the speed at which this sign completely erupted would be much faster than he imagined.

Buzz--

The mechanical door in front of him opened, and a researcher walked out. Seeing Li Yu standing in front of the door, he was instantly somewhat stunned, and then asked somewhat restrainedly: "Why aren't you going in?"

"I was just dealing with some things, I'm about to go in." Li Yu smiled and walked into the Laboratory in front of him.

This Laboratory was exceptionally vast. The most eye-catching thing was the circular glass cylinder in the middle, which was filled with liquid. Soaking in it was a tall humanoid figure. It was precisely the corpse obtained from the Titan Sanctuary.

"You're here..." Peyton was standing to the side, looking at the complex data on the Holographic Screen, and said: "High-concentration star acid has no effect on it, it can be drained."

But accompanied by the mechanical sound of pumping, the azure liquid in the glass cylinder rapidly subsided.

"Have you researched anything?" Li Yu asked.

"You overestimate me." Peyton was expressionless, pulling out a Holographic Screen with a large amount of data presented: "During this period, we have conducted over a thousand kinds of experiments on it."

"The only result we got is that it's too hard."

"We can't even penetrate the surface skin. The most powerful spatial Cutter currently available can't even leave a mark."

Li Yu's mouth twitched slightly, but he already had an estimate in his heart. After all, the foundation of this Titan was there, it was impossible to easily break open the surface skin.

In fact, he had already obtained rough information from Andrei.

This corpse was actually a mixed-blood Titan species, coming from the Giant Titan and Emperor Titan.

As for more, Andrei was also not too clear.

"It looks like leaving this thing here is just leaving it here. I can only give it to the Salvation Ark." Li Yu shook his head and said.

"You want to give it to the Salvation Ark?" Peyton cast a strange look.

"Although we temporarily don't have the ability to research it right now, with your personality, you shouldn't give such a thing to the Salvation Ark for no reason."

"Curious?" Li Yu looked at Peyton somewhat surprised: "That's really rare. If you ask me, if you ask me, I'll tell you."

Peyton was somewhat Speechless and didn't want to talk. His curiosity only lasted for an instant. Seeing Li Yu's attitude, he instantly lost the desire to speak.

"Suit yourself." Peyton dropped a sentence and left expressionlessly.

Li Yu muttered a couple of sentences, and then started contacting Codri.

Ever since this guy hijacked the Lord of the Ark last time, there had been no news. He didn't know if he had been discovered.

Not long after, the communication was connected, and the peculiar large face of the Lord of the Ark appeared on the screen.

"Codri?" Li Yu asked tentatively.

He silently nodded.

"It's good that you weren't discovered." Li Yu then turned the camera, aimed it at the Titan Corpse, and said: "The thing I promised to give you last time, find a place to receive the goods."

Codri's originally rather calm face instantly couldn't hold back, revealing a fervent gaze.

He had been thinking about this corpse for over a month.

But Li Yu didn't contact him, and it wasn't appropriate for him to actively contact Li Yu. During this period, he could only use the Identity of the Lord of the Ark to start taking back control of the Salvation Ark.

Although he temporarily took over the Lord of the Ark's body, this was not a long-term solution. He needed to smoothly transition Power to the real Codri.

"You choose a place, we'll just go directly." Codri's attitude instantly became several times more respectful.

"Then let's go to Holivias, receive the goods there." Li Yu said.

"Holivias?" Codri was somewhat surprised, not knowing what Li Yu was doing in Holivias, but then he said attentively:

"Okay, no problem. When we arrive, we'll notify you."

"Hmm..." Li Yu first nodded, then as if suddenly remembering something, he looked Codri up and down and said: "You wouldn't sell my whereabouts to the Star Glory Empire, would you?"

"How is that possible!" Codri was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly getting anxious and saying: "We have an intimate cooperative relationship, and no grudges whatsoever. Why would I sell you out?"

"Moreover, if I sell you out, the Star Glory Empire definitely won't give us the Titan Corpse."

His tone was hurried, deeply afraid that Li Yu would give up giving them the Titan Corpse because of suspicion.

"Haha... just joking." Li Yu laughed loudly, and then said: "Your emotions seem very unstable. Is it because the Spiritual Body and the shell are not very compatible?"

Codri froze for a moment, restrained his emotions, and said silently: "Yes, it is ultimately not my own body, somewhat unaccustomed."

The two subsequently established specific protocols. Li Yu required the other party to definitely bring The Overlord and activate it on the spot.

Codri was somewhat unwilling, but could only be forced to accept this condition. Only after finalizing these details did the two hang up the communication.

Li Yu pondered inwardly: "According to Andrei, the combination of this corpse and The Overlord should birth a peculiar and powerful Titan..."

"Although according to estimations, this thing shouldn't attack Titans, and there's even a way to control it, but there is still a Fallen Titan alive, so I have to think of a foolproof method."

…………

Seven days passed in a flash. Sinai sent a message that the Transformers he sent to the Ionic Sea had arrived at the designated location.

Hearing this news, Li Yu directly stopped his battle with Dark Star, hurriedly opened a Dimensional Rift.

After all, this was the Tree of Life's first time, he still had to be a little cautious. At least he had to figure out what the process was, and it would be easier in the future.

………

Stepping out of the Dimensional Rift, presented before Li Yu was a magnificent scene. Large expanses of azure ionic spheres floated In interstellar space.

The dazzling light dispelled the surrounding darkness. Each ionic sphere constantly radiated Electric Arc-shaped energy glows.

"Ionic Sea, no one knows the specific cause of its formation, but materialized Ionized Cores can be born inside. The price is high, and many Interstellar Adventurers come here."

Sinai, wearing Armor beside him, introduced. This was specially customized by Li Yu, showcasing Sinai's characteristics to the fullest to avoid being bound.

"But these ionic spheres will autonomously attack outsiders, and have even birthed Ionized Lifeforms, so this place is also very dangerous."

Li Yu nodded, looking around. He could clearly perceive that there were quite a few normal lifeforms inside, which should be Interstellar Adventurers.

"Forget it, let's not waste time." Li Yu muttered a few words to himself. Taking a step forward and appearing again, he was already deep within this ionic ocean.

Surrounded by massive ionic spheres, the smallest diameter exceeded a thousand kilometers.

He directly pulled out the Tree of Life from the [Symbiotic Bio-Armor].

This small tree, only the height of a person, emitted a dense brilliance.

Subsequently, as if sensing something, the roots on its branches extended into Golden Threads, directly inserting into the Void, as if to cover the entire ionic ocean.

The Devour of the Tree of Life would completely annihilate this ionic ocean, which caused some riots.

On the edge of the ionic ocean - a Spaceship with a somewhat mottled surface was carefully navigating near a massive ionic sphere.

Its surface was coated with a grey-black film. Even if it accidentally touched those ionic spheres, it didn't cause any major fluctuations.

In the cabin, a few people were talking. Someone holding half a Cigar in his mouth said easily:

"Listening to me wasn't wrong, right? Although the price of coating this isolation film wasn't small, as long as we find one Ionized Core, we'll make a huge profit."

"Tch, we haven't found one yet. Let's talk after we find one. Those are Star Coins we got from selling several slaves." A companion snorted coldly.

"Without giving, how can there be a return." The Man with the Cigar in his mouth said easily.

Before the few could exchange many words, the Spaceship's alarm suddenly blared.

They were obviously not adventuring for the first time. They were instantly Fully armed and came to the Spaceship's porthole to check the situation.

One of them even said anxiously: "What's going on? We couldn't be this unlucky to encounter an Ionized Lifeform, could we?"

However, what happened before their eyes subsequently shattered their worldview.

They saw that at some unknown time, the originally rather peaceful ionic spheres nearby began to go berserk, erupting with terrifying fluctuations from their Energy Cores.

Blue and white Energy Electric Arcs merged together, forming an Energy Torrent.

The powerful ionic Energy Torrent tore apart a spherical area with a radius of tens of thousands of kilometers, destroying everything.

Space underwent Spatial Collapse and distorted. Even the starlight in the distance disappeared in an instant.

This was space being distorted to the limit and forming a closed state, isolating the inside from the outside, not even light was an exception.

Faintly, they could see Golden Threads passing through the entire ionic ocean, seemingly wrapping it up.

They could hear roars by their ears, which made their expressions horrified. The universe should be silent, but what they were experiencing now was definitely no illusion.

"Could it be the rumored Ionized Lifeforms!?"

"Legend has it that each of them has the Strength of an A-Tier Lifeform, but shouldn't they be sleeping in the depths?"

"What exactly happened here?"

The few said in horror. Under the current situation, they had no ability to resist.

A blue line suddenly rose from the end of their line of sight.

That was an ionic storm that gathered almost all the discrete Energy on the battlefield and released it all at once.

An unprecedented Energy Torrent swept up. Ionic spheres exploded one by one into bright blue-white Fireballs, adding fuel to this Energy Torrent.

"Look, there seems to be a figure there!" In the cabin, someone pointed to the deepest part. A golden light was particularly conspicuous in this Energy Torrent.

"This, how is this possible!" The crowd was terrified, unable to imagine that someone could appear in the depths of the ionic ocean.

Li Yu looked coldly at the rushing Energy Torrent. These Energy Body fundamentally didn't have overly perfect intelligence.

When they sensed a threat, they used the most direct method to eliminate this threat.

He raised his hand, and a thread of purple light was the first to pierce through the universe.

It cut straight across the ionic torrent, splitting it into two parts at once.

Subsequently, more purple light permeated and wandered In Space.

At first, it was like scattered fireflies, and then it turned into a frantic tsunami.

In just ten seconds, large and small halos emerging from the vacuum were everywhere in all directions.

The smallest were only bits and pieces, while the massive ones were like roaring mountain ranges and continents.

In their field of vision, there was only a purple storm sweeping everything.

Li Yu raised the [Infinity Gauntlet] with one hand, and held the Tree of Life with the other. He could clearly see subtle golden Energy pouring into his body.

This kind of full-power exertion, striking without any scruples, was truly exhilarating!

The people in the Spaceship were attracted by this magnificent and bizarre scene, not even reacting to the fact that they themselves were also covered within it.

The purple Energy gradually gathered into regular torrents, like precise scalpels, accurately cutting apart the ionic torrent.

Golden Threads emerged from the Void, starting to extract the Energy of those ionic torrents.

True Ionized Lifeforms appeared, resembling humans with only the upper half of their bodies. They roared, their bodies surging with Energy Electric Arcs, charging towards those Golden Threads, but as red brilliance lit up.

Mimicry Energy Bodies emerged, beginning to intercept those Ionized Lifeforms.

Then, Golden Threads emerged around these Ionized Lifeforms, forcefully inserting into them.

They let out silent roars, the Aura in their bodies gradually subsiding, being gradually Devour.

All resistance, in the face of absolute power, was merely futile.
