Chapter 708: Seeing the Fallen Titan Again!

"Beep! Beep!"

The smart terminal vibrated incessantly. He glanced down and saw it was Loyd.

Too lazy to bother, Li Yu directly hung up. Loyd seemed quite angry and called several times in succession, but Li Yu never answered.

It wasn't until the very end that he sent over a message:

"Is there a need to be this cautious? I have no intention of ambushing you!"

Li Yu chuckled twice and turned off the smart terminal, feeling like his body was fine again.

He routinely observed the future possibilities and found a high probability that nothing would happen, so he simply prepared to go open up a dimensional world.

On the other side, Loyd gritted his teeth in anger. Several virtual projections were beside him; they were exactly several members from the council seats.

"Let's do as he said for now and stop hunting Terror Lifeforms. These Terror Lifeforms aren't simple either; they're also connecting with each other. Stopping the operation now isn't necessarily a bad thing."

After they left, his expression suddenly became moody. He had conned Li Yu into attending this meeting indeed with the intention of using the general trend to force Li Yu into taking action.

After all, with the subordinates fighting desperately, it wouldn't be quite appropriate for you, the President, to remain immovable as a mountain.

If he kept hiding and didn't take action, and the members eventually grew dissatisfied and forcibly forced Li Yu to step down, it would have nothing to do with him.

Li Yu occupying the latrine without taking a shit truly made him hold back quite a bit of frustration.

But he didn't expect Li Yu to be unyielding and directly cancel the hunting of Terror Lifeforms.

He even pulled out the statement "the lives of A-Tier Lifeforms are also lives," shutting those people's mouths.

He had three goals: first, to force Li Yu to take action; second, to increase the dissatisfaction of ordinary members, planting the seeds for removing the President later; and third, to probe exactly what Li Yu wanted to do.

In the end, none of the three goals were achieved.

He knew Li Yu was unwilling to take action no matter what just to avoid the Star Glory Empire ambushing him.

That was why he sent that sentence earlier.

He knew those old geezers must be secretly plotting how to deal with Li Yu, but they hadn't included him.

But he could guess that a key dilemma those old geezers faced was how to lure Li Yu out without implicating the Star Glory Empire.

Otherwise, given Li Yu's personality, he would definitely just avoid it.

However, he didn't have this thought. If Li Yu died now, it wouldn't bring him any benefits.

He still wanted to figure out exactly what purpose Li Yu had; this had already become his inner demon.

"Dealing with Terror Lifeforms isn't his purpose either."

He silently crossed out this possibility in his heart.

......

"He stopped hunting Terror Lifeforms?" Beside Vissa, Siren frowned deeply.

"Yes, he said it with extreme ease, as if he didn't care about it at all." Vissa's eyes were also full of doubt.

"But for a period of time, he obviously cared about this matter very much."

For an organization, if there was a problem with its operational goals, they needed to investigate first and then resolve it.

Who would act like Li Yu, directly quitting and throwing in the towel at the slightest problem.

"Could he have discovered something?" Siren swayed her fishtail.

Vissa shook his head. "I don't know. But your plans have temporarily fallen through. Wanting to use those ordinary A-Tier Lifeforms to lure him out isn't very realistic."

"He's very cautious, but the high probability is not because of you, but because of the Star Glory Empire."

"That's because he doesn't understand our power!" Siren said coldly.

"You have a way to find him?" Vissa's eyes flickered, and he asked with some curiosity.

"There's no need to tell you." Siren didn't speak frankly; there obviously wasn't much trust between the two either.

"Actually, he's not the one controlling the A-Tier Alliance right now. There's no need for you to deal with him," Vissa changed the subject.

"We aren't the ones dealing with him..." Siren said meaningfully.

Vissa's pupils contracted. He seemed to have guessed something, and then asked as if nothing had happened:

"You found the Fallen Titan?"

Siren gave him a half-smile and said, "Guess what kind of person has the ability to suppress top-tier evolvers, including me."

Hearing this, Vissa's heart trembled slightly. A complex expression surfaced on his face, and he didn't speak.

......

A few days later, in the Jade Void Palace, Guangcheng led several Transformers rushing in from the Dimensional Rift. In their center was a tightly wrapped silver metal coffin.

Li Yu had received the news long ago and was waiting here with Peyton and several other gene experts.

"Great Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the item has been brought back." The several Transformers knelt on the ground and said respectfully.

The silver metal coffin behind them continuously emitted dull collision sounds. It seemed something eerie was trapped inside.

"Open it," Li Yu nodded and instructed.

A Transformer opened the lockdown valve around the silver metal coffin, but as liquid nitrogen burst out, a black shadow flew out from within.

However, in the very next moment, it was suppressed back to the ground by an invisible force.

"Hiss~"

This creature let out a hissing sound, its black wings constantly flapping, yet it remained completely unable to move.

"It really is a Fallen Angel..." Peyton's expression changed slightly as he said, "The bit of information I found in the Life Titan Sanctuary records this kind of creature."

"Although they are called Fallen Angels, aside from their appearance being similar to Angels, their actual birth method is completely different."

Li Yu sized up the creature before him. The two Broodmothers in the Ancient Starpath had clashed with this kind of creature many times.

According to the information they provided, the Fallen Angels were wantonly plundering life substance, wiping out any lifeform they saw.

He had the two Broodmothers try every means possible to capture one and send it here.

"How are they born?" Li Yu inquired.

"They require multiple evolutions. In the beginning, they are just an ugly creature." Peyton gave a simple explanation: "More importantly, similar to your pets, they have a 'Broodmother'."

"This form is their final growth form; they are one of the Titan Civilization's biological weapons."

There was no melodramatic story behind the Fallen Angels; they weren't produced after some Angel fell from grace.

They were just a kind of biological weapon with an appearance similar to Angels, similarly used by the Titan Civilization.

They were cheaper, but their potential was limited. Their rapid growth exhausted their potential, making them excellent candidates for cannon fodder.

"In other words, this thing is indeed a product of the Titan Civilization. So why did it appear in the Ancient Starpath?" Li Yu was somewhat puzzled.

"Let me go research it first. Although I've seen it in the materials, it's ultimately not as thorough as creating it personally," Peyton spoke up.

"Wait, let me figure out their origins first." Li Yu shook his head.

"This is a kind of biological weapon. As long as someone has the corresponding technological means, anyone can create it; it's not necessarily the Titan Civilization." Peyton believed it would be difficult to figure out the other party's origins.

Li Yu was noncommittal and pulled out a black eyeball-shaped object.

[Warlock's Eye: A treasure from the Sorcerer Supreme. You can peer into the essence of things, dispelling all confusion and darkness.]

A trinket from the [Odin's Vault], it just so happened to come in handy.

Peering into the essence would inevitably find the origins of this Fallen Angel.

He mainly wanted to figure out if there was anything like a Titan Sanctuary in the Ancient Starpath.

Following the activation of the [Warlock's Eye], a black light shone on this Fallen Angel's body.

And Li Yu's consciousness felt a sense of detachment. He didn't resist this feeling, but moved forward following it.

A confusing black mist surfaced before his eyes. His consciousness wandered in the black mist, advancing following an invisible guidance.

Suddenly, he seemed to see a patch of light. This was a bizarre and grotesque spatial area.

Neither the sky nor the earth could be seen. There was only a twisted "canopy" with deep blue and purple hues within the darkness enveloping his line of sight.

Those deep blue and purple bands agitated, entangled, merged, and then separated irregularly against the pure black background, like a layer of grease floating in pitch-black ink.

"Information State Membrane. It can isolate detection."

Information surfaced in Li Yu's mind, which made even him somewhat stunned.

Then he realized, so this was the so-called "dispelling all confusion and darkness."

During this period, any related unknown things he saw would be explained.

In the center of this space was a massive black creature.

The Fallen Titan!?

Li Yu's heart trembled slightly. It was exactly the Fallen Titan who had briefly shown his face outside the Life Titan Sanctuary back then.

He stood towering in the void, surrounded by Fallen Angels. Green light was drawn out from their bodies, continuously merging into the Fallen Titan's body.

He seemed to be hiding here, using the Information State Membrane to conceal his existence, avoiding being discovered by an unknown entity.

"He created these Fallen Angels. He is using the life substance plundered by these Fallen Angels to heal his genetic injuries..."

"...Which are caused by the Titan Genes rejecting foreign genes."

"...He merged with the genes of the Creator race, escaping the effects of the Annihilation Device."

A series of information surfaced in his mind again, making Li Yu thoroughly understand.

Why didn't the other Fallen Titans survive, and only he survived.

Because the genes this guy merged with were exactly the genes of the enemy, which was why he was able to survive.

After understanding this, his consciousness didn't stop moving, still advancing.

He directly merged into the Fallen Titan's body, and the space before his eyes turned into a misty black mist again.

It was also at this time that the Fallen Titan, who originally had his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened his eyes. The entire space shook, and black thunder surfaced behind him.

He seemed to sense a trace of anomaly, yet didn't know where it came from. After carefully checking his surroundings, he still didn't find anything.

"An illusion?" he wondered inwardly, wanting to pursue that feeling but not knowing where to start.

At the same time, Li Yu's vision became clear again. At this moment, what was before his eyes were countless platforms and giant rocks floating in mid-air.

Those floating platforms had streamlined outlines, mostly shaped like crescent moons.

And between these floating platforms and giant rocks were sections of fragmented staircases or corridors. The crisscrossing fragmented staircases hovered in the air.

Twisting, winding, overlapping with each other, they were simply like a chaotic ball of yarn, connecting all those disorganized floating platforms and the like together.

"Why does this feel somewhat familiar for some inexplicable reason?" Li Yu muttered to himself.

He roughly judged that these suspended platforms and staircases as a whole spiraled upward. They intertwined and coiled around each other, extending all the way to a place high above that could not be distinguished by the naked eye.

"The broken genetic structure inside the Fallen Titan..."

A piece of information surfaced, leaving Li Yu somewhat stunned. No wonder he felt these platforms, staircases, and whatever felt very familiar to him.

So it turned out to be the genetic structure.

This method of observation was very special. Under normal circumstances, he definitely wouldn't be able to enter the Fallen Titan's body in this way.

There were some scattered green motes of light floating around him. Following those green motes of light upward, at the end of the spiral-shaped broken staircase, he saw a lump of something wrapped in grey mist.

Massive amounts of green motes of light continuously merged into the grey mist.

And the next moment, the information that surfaced in his mind left him unable to calm down for a long time.

"Fragment of the Annihilation Device."

These few short words made Li Yu gasp, while at the same time unraveling a huge doubt in his heart.

From Andrei, Bloodlust, and a lot of information, he could tell.

That great war back then ended with the annihilation of the Titan Civilization and the severe crippling of the Creator Civilization.

But exactly to what extent was the Creator Civilization severely crippled, such that even as the Star Glory Empire grew to this degree, they still hadn't appeared?

But now, he knew: the Annihilation Device was shattered.

However, thinking about it carefully, it made sense. The Annihilation Device's attack on the Titan Civilization had reached the point of altering rules.

It was like a rule engraved into this universe. If a price wasn't paid, it would be fundamentally impossible to achieve.

Subsequently, his consciousness began to detach again. After being in a trance for a moment, he returned to his own body.

Peyton and the others were all looking at him, seeming somewhat puzzled by his actions just now.

He remained silent for a moment and said, "Take him down, do as you please."

"Weren't you going to pursue his origins?" a certain gene expert inquired.

"I already know." Li Yu didn't say much more, just having them take the Fallen Angel away.

Peyton was stunned for a moment, looked at the black eyeball gradually turning into fine powder in Li Yu's hand, and immediately understood.

It should be that kind of inexplicable special item again.

After everyone left, Li Yu stood in place, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking about.
