Chapter 682: Holivias Suffering in Silence (Unexpected Situation, Somewhat Late, Apologies)

~13 min read 2,572 words

"I'm afraid it will take about six hours until the next red ring strikes," Maros said, glancing at the time.

During the eruption period, the Fallen Star Cinders also needed to rest. It was very difficult to spew out wave after wave; it needed to brew.

"Just seeing this once makes the trip worthwhile. What a pity, I won't be able to see it in the future," Li Yu sighed with emotion.

This sentence made Maros freeze for a moment, and he looked at Li Yu with some confusion: "Won't be able to see it in the future?"

"What I mean is, with my Identity, it's not good to come here openly," Li Yu explained. This reason was rather far-fetched.

Maros frowned slightly. He always felt Li Yu was somewhat strange.

From the moment they met, he seemed to be vaguely hinting at something.

But upon careful thought, he couldn't draw any specific conclusions.

But suspicion didn't need evidence. Maros had an intuition that Li Yu was definitely provoking him on purpose.

He only saw an object like a crimson Flowing Light rushing over, heading towards the boundary at an extremely fast speed!

Right at this moment, Li Yu also spoke, asking doubtfully: "Your Excellency Maros, look, did something rush out from the Fallen Star Cinders?"

As soon as his voice fell, Maros directly rushed out, his whole body erupting with silver-white fluctuations, like a shooting star.

"How could this be?"

Maros's Mind in a Turmoil. How could this lifeform rush out?

According to their speculation, this thing would absolutely not leave the Fallen Star Cinders before it grew to a certain extent.

That was its birthplace, like its "Mother," which would continuously supply it.

And it happened to choose this time, when there were tourists gathered all around in a massive scale, coming from many civilizations. If this thing went crazy, I'm afraid no one could stop it.

If the tourists all died here, then great, Holivias could just wait to be carved up by the Major Civilizations.

He could only find a way to stop it and wait for backup!

Most of the surrounding tourists were somewhat bewildered, not very scared, because they didn't know if this thing belonged to the "eruption scene" of the Fallen Star Cinders.

And the next moment, they saw a silver shooting star.

Maros's arms were wrapped in a layer of Silver Holy Light, charging straight towards the Fallen Star Dragon. His Aura was powerful, pressing forward with indomitable will!

Bang!

The Energy Ring exploded, and the Silver Holy Light was directly knocked flying, plunging into the Starry Sky.

Something seemed wrong!

Only now did the tourists realize that an accident seemed to have occurred?

"Damn, something happened!"

"..."

Maros quickly stopped his figure. The backup from Holivias was on the way, but even using the Stargate to rush over would take some time.

Maros didn't have time to think much, and could only send out Mental Fluctuation, shouting: "Your Excellency Dragon Sovereign, please help stop this lifeform. Afterwards, Holivias will definitely thank you heavily!"

"Happy to oblige!"

The corners of Li Yu's mouth curled up slightly. He had been waiting for this sentence!

While speaking, the Energy Fluctuation released by Li Yu also skyrocketed synchronously.

The Energy on the surface of his body intertwined with Golden Electric Arcs, like escaping steam, constantly emitting from his body, extremely eye-catching.

This was his first external battle after almost maxing out his Gene Chain Progress.

Just as many tourists were terrified, the space shook, and an Energy Ring violently exploded where Li Yu was.

Looking again, Li Yu's body had impressively disappeared from its original spot, sprinting as if using Flash Teleportation.

The Infinity Gauntlet rolled up water-wave-like purple Energy, like a heaven-supporting fist, ruthlessly smashing onto the head of the Fallen Star Dragon that was crashing head-on!

Bang!!

The next moment, an annular Shockwave abruptly burst out from the collision point!

The figure of the Fallen Star Dragon shot backward like a cannonball, like a fleeting ray of light, instantly knocked flying.

And Li Yu was exactly the same, flying backward for a long distance before barely stopping his figure. He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the Fallen Star Dragon which was about a thousand meters away.

"It's similar, truly too similar..." Even though he had already seen it once in the revelation of the Tablet of Life and Destiny, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion now.

In the distance, Maros's expression relaxed slightly. Fortunately, it didn't rush out, otherwise it would be troublesome.

Zzzzt—

Astonishingly large Electric Arc continuously fell, causing immense destruction to the Fallen Star Dragon.

Li Yu's whole body was wrapped in dazzling blue Lightning Glow. He single-handedly rolled up a lightning storm, from time to time shooting out dense Lightning Glow, bombarding the Scale Armor of the Fallen Star Dragon, exploding with scattered electrical sparks.

The actual Power Level of the Fallen Star Dragon was higher than his.

His current Gene Chain Progress was basically fully developed. Coupled with various combat buffs and auxiliary equipment, his overall Combat Power Level could reach around 600 million.

And the Power Level of the Fallen Star Dragon was at least around 800 million.

But the problem was, the combat methods of the two were not on the same level at all.

Li Yu's numerous passive skills alone were enough to give the Fallen Star Dragon a hard time.

For example, the Thunder Strike attached to every three attacks, and the Power of Ash that carried unrepairable damage. Unless one was a Super Lifeform, they simply couldn't resist this kind of Strength.

Even if the Fallen Star Dragon's Power Level was higher than Li Yu's, it was still not Li Yu's opponent.

With the help of the Thunder Battle Armor Cloak, Li Yu's figure flashed continuously, throwing punches and kicks at a moderate pace, blasting onto the Scale Armor of the Fallen Star Dragon.

As if striking a transparent barrier, the particles in a large area of space resonated with it.

The Fallen Star Dragon became scarred and battered in an extremely short time, but this also stimulated its ferocity.

Right at this moment, a giant tail swung out diagonally, intercepting Li Yu's attack.

Bang!!

Fierce Shockwave exploded. The fist and the tail clashed together, deadlocked.

The Fallen Star Dragon's whole body flickered with dark red light.

"Oh, it seems to be learning how to fight."

Li Yu's eyes flashed, abruptly twisting his arm, massive Strength exploding in a concentrated manner, instantly knocking away the giant tail.

Then, like a drill, he abruptly pierced into the Corporeal Form of the Fallen Star Dragon. The compressed Energy slashes shot out, and flesh and blood splattered immediately.

Right at this moment, the Fallen Star Dragon immediately fought back as if feeling no pain.

Boundless Energy continuously surged from its Corporeal Form, charging over like swimming dragons.

Seeing this, Li Yu raised his hand to block in an instant. A large patch of dazzling Electric Arc exploded at the point of impact, and the surging force pushed Li Yu back a distance.

Li Yu looked up, only to see an almost penetrating cut left on the Corporeal Form of the Fallen Star Dragon, extremely tragic, and accompanied by black-red Energy like ash, continuously eroding the wound.

But those wounds were still repairing slowly.

The Power of Ash could cause unrepairable damage to Ordinary Lifeform. In the understanding of the System, those who were not Super Lifeform could probably all be counted as Ordinary Lifeform.

And this Fallen Star Dragon seemed to already have a certain trait of a Super Lifeform.

Li Yu's eyes narrowed. He abruptly slammed his whole body into it, knocking the Fallen Star Dragon away. Then the Infinity Gauntlet flashed with light, and he smashed over again.

Clang!!

Shockwave burst out, and the Fallen Star Dragon was knocked back again.

Subsequently, Li Yu approached one after another, Energy Fluctuation continuously exploding, forcefully forcing the Fallen Star Dragon back into the range of the Fallen Star Cinders again.

"Who is that person?" Many tourists recovered and asked in the broadcast channel.

"I don't know, he also rushed out from that giant Tourist Ship."

"Fortunately there's him, otherwise we would be in danger."

Just as the many tourists were discussing enthusiastically, the broadcast channel was suddenly silenced, as large-scale signal jammers were activated.

Only one broadcast sounded—

"Dear tourists, due to the impact of an emergency, please leave as soon as possible!"

This was Holivias's official expulsion order. Most tourists had their families with them, and didn't dare to delay here, hurriedly piloting their spaceships and leaving.

Maros controlled everything at the scene. After seeing most of the tourists leave one after another, he withdrew his gaze and looked at the Fallen Star Cinders where Lightning Glow was flashing.

Fortunately Li Yu was here, temporarily blocking the Fallen Star Dragon.

Li Yu's very clean and neat intervention actually made him feel somewhat guilty, thinking whether he should suggest to the High Echelon to give the Time Paradox Crystal to Li Yu as compensation afterwards.

But after careful consideration, he helplessly shook his head. The High Echelon definitely wouldn't do so.

At most, they would use some inconsequential things to make up for it, perhaps even award a medal or something. There definitely wouldn't be much truly useful substantial reward.

After all, this wasn't an expected transaction discussed beforehand. In a sudden situation where Li Yu was willing to act himself, the High Echelon couldn't possibly pay a huge price.

"In the end, he did help us. Let's try our best to suggest it to the High Echelon afterwards... he..." Maros muttered to himself, but his pupils suddenly shrank.

"Wait, this matter wouldn't be related to him, would it?"

The situation was urgent just now, and he didn't have much time to think.

Now that he reacted, he suddenly found that this was truly too much of a coincidence.

Li Yu wanted to see the Fallen Star Cinders, and then it abnormally rioted.

"But what's the purpose?" He was somewhat puzzled again.

If it was to retaliate for being tricked in the Time Speed Controller transaction before, there was completely no need to help him block the Fallen Star Dragon. Just quietly watching them make a fool of themselves would do.

But looking at Li Yu's posture now, not only did he intervene, but he also fought quite desperately, truly making him somewhat confused.

It couldn't be to kill that creature, right? Maros speculated. That would indeed make Holivias feel Flesh Hurts, but Li Yu didn't know another matter.

"The Fallen Star Cinders is that creature's home ground, you also have no way to deal with it." Maros's eyes flickered as he muttered to himself:

"If you don't have other plans, then fine. If you do, your idea will probably fall through."

He originally didn't want to trick the other party in the transaction of the Time Speed Controller.

But some of the High Echelon believed that the other party was being pressed very hard by the Star Glory Empire. Even if he suffered a hidden loss, he couldn't do anything.

What's more, it was their own misjudgment. They couldn't be considered to have tricked them, and could only let it pass.

.........

At the same time, Interior the Fallen Star Cinders, Li Yu looked at the Fallen Star Dragon wrapped in crimson Energy.

The injuries on the other party's body were rapidly repairing, and even the Power of Ash attached to the wounds was forced out.

"This is the advantage brought by the so-called 'birthplace'?" Li Yu was not surprised at all by this scene before him.

The information provided by the Tablet of Life and Destiny detailed the data of the Fallen Star Dragon, so his understanding of this lifeform was even clearer than its own.

That's why he could command his subordinates to use a specific method to enrage this dragon.

The Fallen Star Cinders, as its birthplace, could provide it with various buffs. Fighting on its home ground, its Strength would receive a huge boost, and it had continuous logistical support.

As if emboldened, anger surged again in the giant beastly pupils of the Fallen Star Dragon.

"What a pity, I don't plan to continue fighting you. Be glad you have such an appearance."

Li Yu shook his head. The appearance of the Fallen Star Dragon was simply too similar to the dragons of his previous life, which aroused a slight nostalgic feeling in him.

Moreover, the Evolutionary potential of this thing was also very sufficient. If it could be tamed, it would be a very good choice.

Modifying a Gene Chain required flesh and blood, not a corpse. With the recovery speed of the Fallen Star Dragon, a piece of flesh gouged out could quickly be repaired.

However, wanting to defeat the Fallen Star Dragon in here, the difficulty was not ordinarily high.

Fortunately, Li Yu didn't plan to fight a prolonged battle either. A cubic box exuding chilling cold suddenly appeared in his hand—the Casket of Ancient Winters.

As if feeling the bone-piercing cold, the Fallen Star Dragon shrank back first. Such behavior seemed to make it feel humiliated.

Then, it let out another silent roar, charging over directly, carrying massive Energy.

And Li Yu merely slowly opened the Casket of Ancient Winters.

Boom!

The overwhelming chilling cold seemed to want to completely freeze everything before it. Wherever it passed, space-time congealed.

The Energy around the Fallen Star Dragon was also gradually congealed. Its massive body was covered with a layer of ice starting from its head, its speed also becoming slower and slower, slowly stopping in front of Li Yu.

Within the ice crystal, the Fallen Star Dragon was incredibly lifelike, like an exquisite model.

However, the surrounding crimson Energy was continuously invading, seemingly wanting to melt the ice crystal.

And the Fallen Star Dragon's eyeballs were also trembling slightly.

Obviously, occupying the home ground advantage, it wasn't that easily frozen.

And Li Yu didn't hesitate either. Taking out the Tree of Life from the Symbiotic Colonization Armor, he began to act on the Fallen Star Cinders.

He forced this dragon into the Fallen Star Cinders naturally not to enhance the other party's Strength, but to Devour it covertly.

Golden Threads extended once again. The massive Fallen Star Cinders had only nurtured one dragon, with completely no other biological Disruption, and the Devour speed of the Tree of Life was also very fast.

Maros coordinated everything on the outside. The surroundings had basically been cleared out, and at the same time, he had people isolate the Fallen Star Cinders from other directions.

Their people were still on the way, but the commotion inside the Fallen Star Cinders had disappeared, which made him somewhat confused, not knowing what happened.

"Could it be... the Dragon Sovereign was killed?" Maros was somewhat suspicious:

"It's unlikely, right? Isn't he able to borrow the Strength of a Super Lifeform?"

"Could it be he beat that lifeform to death?" His expression changed abruptly.

Right at this moment, the person responsible for Monitor the Fallen Star Cinders suddenly reported urgently: "Your Excellency Maros, discovered a strange occurrence, the boundary of the Fallen Star Cinders is rapidly shrinking."

"What did you say!?" Maros widened his eyes, staring intently at the Holographic projection before him.
