Chapter 709: The Fallen Titan's Target Is Actually?

In a certain hidden location, The Reformers were holding a high echelon meeting. This was a follow-up consultation regarding Husband's A-Tier Alliance plan.

Due to the current special situation of the A-Tier Alliance, internally, The Reformers believed this was because Husband had handled things poorly.

The Reformers didn't have a nominal leader, only elders in charge of various regions.

However, previously, Husband's status was relatively high, and his right to speak carried more weight, faintly suppressing the other elders.

Some elders didn't care about this at all, believing it was fine as long as it was beneficial to The Reformers.

But certain elders didn't think this way. The higher Husband's right to speak was, the more it meant others' right to speak was weakened.

Hence, dissatisfaction arose. If Husband had been advancing triumphantly all along, it would have been fine, but this time such a massive blunder had occurred.

It caused all the efforts The Reformers had put in to go down the drain, which also gave them a reason to cause trouble.

"This is already the fifth meeting. It's time to discuss and come up with a plan. Although Stone of Life and a few other Excellencies have already withdrawn from the alliance, they are still secretly suffering suppression now," someone spoke up, being the first to initiate an attack.

"The A-Tier Alliance has completely fallen into the hands of others, and specifically into the hands of the Star Glory Empire. The worst-case scenario we prepared for was merely its dissolution."

"But Your Excellency Husband, you walked down a path even worse than the worst-case scenario."

Husband remained silent. The previous few meetings were exactly the same; facing all the accusations, he didn't utter a word of rebuttal.

"This matter cannot be entirely blamed on Husband either. No one could have predicted that Li Yu would kidnap Lyman, and no one predicted that he would willingly hand over the A-Tier Alliance."

Someone defended Husband. He looked relatively young; although the position was called elder, not everyone was an old man.

If according to the original plan, the A-Tier Alliance wouldn't necessarily have lacked opportunities to grow amidst the wind and rain.

Even if they were forced to dissolve in the end, it wouldn't be unacceptable. But now, they had served as a stepping stone for the Star Glory Empire, filling them with pent-up anger.

"Oh, then who let Li Yu join the alliance?"

This sentence blocked that person's thought of continuing to defend.

Such discussions had occurred many times. Because Husband never spoke, the number of elders speaking up for him grew fewer and fewer.

"I will give up my position as an elder and withdraw from The Reformers."

The silent Husband suddenly spoke, but the words he said caused everyone to turn pale in shock.

Even those elders targeting Husband changed their expressions.

Their aggressiveness was meant to weaken Husband's right to speak, not to make him withdraw from the organization.

Husband's abilities were very strong; this was something they all acknowledged.

They also knew the course of events for this matter. It was purely terrible luck to run into a bastard like Dragon Sovereign; it really didn't have much to do with Husband.

If they really let Husband withdraw, it would be a huge loss for them.

"There's no need to go to such an extent, right..." the elder who had just spoken up for Husband hesitated.

The few elders who initiated the attack also stopped speaking. Husband looked around and sighed. If only Li Yu were this easy to deal with.

This was merely a small trick of retreating in order to advance. He was dead certain that this group of people couldn't possibly let him withdraw from The Reformers.

In an instant, it made this group of aggressive guys freeze in place, and the momentum accumulated over these five meetings suddenly dissipated.

He believed that if that guy Li Yu was among this group, if he dared to say he would withdraw from The Reformers, Li Yu would dare to directly revoke his authority.

"Let's forget it, it's not that serious. We Reformers have many failed plans. Although the damage this time is relatively large, it's not unacceptable. This is not a crime of war for Husband," someone spoke up opportunely.

"Thank you all for your understanding. We are not without room for maneuver. I have carefully studied the rules formulated by the Star Glory Empire." Husband nodded indifferently, then directly took back the initiative, saying:

"They are merely using the majority seats in the Council of Directors to control the alliance."

"As long as there are enough seats in the Council of Directors, it's still unknown exactly who will control the A-Tier Alliance."

The expressions of the few elders who were originally preparing to attack looked ugly. They looked at each other in dismay, wanting to forcefully steer the topic back.

But looking at Husband talking with assurance, they couldn't say a word.

......

"Fragment of the Annihilation Device, fragment of the Annihilation Device..."

Li Yu muttered continuously. Ever since learning that there was a fragment of the Annihilation Device inside the Fallen Titan's body, he had been unable to eat or sleep due to preoccupation for the past few days.

That Fallen Titan probably also had his own story, but as for exactly what was going on, only he himself knew.

However, blindly targeting the Fallen Titan for hunting now was clearly not a wise choice.

Even though the Fallen Titan looked severely injured, he was still a bona fide Titan, a genuine Super Lifeform. Without absolute certainty of killing him, it would only leave future troubles.

So he could only suppress this thought for the time being.

However, Sinai came to report news today: Vissa was contacting him.

Due to the Time Speed Controller, under normal circumstances Li Yu would stay in the cabin, using the time flow rate difference to quickly alleviate his body's negative state.

But the time flow rate was abnormal, making it very difficult for him to receive external signals, so he could only have someone come to notify him.

"Vissa... why did he suddenly think to contact me?" Li Yu felt somewhat strange. His relationship with this interstellar superstar wasn't considered good; the two basically never contacted each other privately.

With doubts, he walked out of the cabin, arrived in the main dimensional world, and answered the communication.

"No wonder Your Excellency the President doesn't want to attend the regular meetings. It turns out you have a beauty as a companion." Vissa glanced at Sinai beside him and teased.

This crazy bastard was overly handsome, with no dead angles in 360 degrees, making Li Yu annoyed just looking at him.

Sinai was intelligent and instantly understood Vissa's meaning. She smiled, lowered her head, and walked out of the room.

"You're looking for me for something?" Li Yu withdrew his gaze, too lazy to talk much with this overly handsome guy.

"I recently received news that those Terror Lifeforms seem to have formed an organization called The Umbra or something, preparing to do you harm." Vissa didn't continue with pleasantries either, getting straight to the point.

"Oh, Your Excellency Vissa's information is quite well-informed." A glint flashed across Li Yu's pupils, as if thinking of something. "Did you also join them?"

"How is that possible? I'm just a small interstellar star. How could they possibly pay any attention to me?" Vissa mocked himself.

"An interstellar star? Or... a Spirit Fey?" Li Yu smiled cryptically.

Vissa's heart trembled violently, his pupils slightly dilating, clearly extremely shocked.

How did he know!?

The identity of a Spirit Fey was Vissa's biggest secret. Although he was now a prominent figure in the interstellar society, he had practically never displayed the abilities of a Spirit Fey.

Or rather, never displayed them openly.

Everyone who had seen him display them had already become his puppets, making it impossible for the news to leak.

Even among those Terror Lifeforms, only Siren knew this news.

And that was only because the races of the two were extremely similar in certain aspects that he was discovered.

Seeing Vissa's reaction, Li Yu paid it no mind. Vissa definitely didn't know that it was precisely because of his inherent "Affinity" buff that he exposed himself.

"What you know, President, seems to be much more than I imagined." Vissa's tone was mysterious.

"Let's be open and honest. I don't mean anything else; I just hope you stop speaking in riddles," Li Yu said frankly.

Vissa chuckled lightly and said, "Alright, they did invite me, but I have no interest."

"I originally thought they wouldn't be able to accomplish anything major. A group of antiques. Not integrating into this interstellar society only leads to one outcome: death."

Races that were inherently powerful possessed an even greater disdain for ordinary lifeforms, far more disdainful than evolved A-Tier Lifeforms.

Just like humans and ants, it didn't involve any class issues; it was pure disdain.

Even if an ant evolved into a super ant, the disdain would still be there; it stemmed from the bones.

Vissa continued to add, "However, I recently learned an unexpected piece of news. The establishment of The Umbra wasn't a gathering called by a few Terror Lifeforms, but rather the Fallen Titan instigating things from behind the scenes."

"The Fallen Titan..."

Hearing this name again in a short period of time caused Li Yu's expression to change slightly.

However, Vissa didn't mind. No one could ignore the Fallen Titan.

"And then what do they want to do?" Li Yu became slightly interested.

What was the Fallen Titan organizing these Super Lifeforms for?

Could it be that the life energy collected by those Fallen Angels wasn't enough for him to use?

"This is exactly what I find rather strange: they want to hunt you," Vissa frowned.

"Hunt me?" Li Yu was somewhat surprised.

"Although they say it's revenge carried out against you because you advocated hunting Terror Lifeforms."

"But based on my understanding of those Terror Lifeforms, they don't seem like they would because..."

Vissa paused, not knowing how to describe it. Although they were collectively referred to as Terror Lifeforms, they weren't actually one race.

"Let's tentatively call them prison mates. Take Siren for example; how could she harbor resentment toward you because of the death of other Terror Lifeforms?"

This was a reasonable guess, and Vissa sensed something wasn't right from it.

Vissa immediately added, "Furthermore, I've already emphasized that the A-Tier Alliance is currently controlled by the Star Glory Empire. But they don't care; the target remains locked onto you."

"I guess there should be other reasons why they want to make a move against you. It might even be at the instigation of the Fallen Titan."

"Other reasons..." Li Yu remained silent. He knew far more than Vissa did.

He knew the Fallen Titan was currently in a severely injured state, and those fragmented, staircase-like genetic structures also surfaced before him.

This gradually brought a speculation to his mind.

Could the Fallen Titan be after the Titan Genes inside his body?

He had asked Peyton about this. A situation like genetic collapse was almost unsolvable because it was trauma at the most microscopic level possible.

Under normal circumstances, even if a lifeform was severely injured into minced meat, the genetic structure inside their body wouldn't be destroyed.

Similar to genetic aberration, it couldn't be repaired, nor could it be alleviated.

The life substance collected by the Fallen Angels could probably only delay the fragmentation trend, but couldn't thoroughly repair it.

Using identical genes for reconstruction could theoretically repair genetic collapse.

"I was also around the Life Titan Sanctuary at the time, and I was ambushing the Lord of the Ark. It's hard to guarantee he didn't detect the Titan Genes on my body."

Li Yu's eyes flickered uncertainly. Synthesizing various subtle clues, he increasingly felt this speculation was possible.

"What are you thinking about?" Vissa also noticed something was wrong with Li Yu and inquired.

"Nothing, just digesting this information," Li Yu shook his head, then stared at Vissa and said, "Thank you very much for Your Excellency's information, but I still have one doubt."

"Why am I telling you this?" Vissa beat him to the answer. "Very simple: I'm not the same kind of person as those Terror Lifeforms. This is a civilized interstellar space; they will bring unpredictable disasters."

"Only stability can allow me to survive better."

"That wasn't the question. I consulted the materials and found that your Spirit Fey race is androgynous, yet you only ever have scandals with female interstellar stars. What's going on here? Not interested in male stars?" Li Yu revealed a curious expression.

Vissa's expression froze on his face. He wouldn't believe it even if beaten to death that this was actually the question Li Yu wanted to ask.

"The President's concern regarding this question certainly surprises me," Vissa said expressionlessly.

"According to the information they revealed, they seem to have a method to find you. However, they seem to be very apprehensive of the Other-Dimensional Camp."

"Nevertheless, Your Excellency the President, it's best you be careful. I don't want to attend your memorial service a while from now."

After saying this, Vissa closed the communication. As the holographic screen disappeared, Li Yu's smile vanished.

Just as Vissa didn't believe those Terror Lifeforms' motive for attacking Li Yu was due to the death of their prison mates.

Li Yu also didn't believe Vissa came to tip him off because of whether interstellar space was stable or not.

However, he didn't care about Vissa's reason as long as the information was fine.

And based on the information he himself possessed, upon comparing the two, he felt Vissa probably wasn't lying and didn't have a reason to lie either.

"A method to find me..." Li Yu's expression flickered.

He never believed the Dimensional Ship was truly foolproof. If the Dimensional Ship was truly impossible for anyone to find, then the Void Realm Titan should have been invincible long ago.

It was merely because the current interstellar civilizations lacked the corresponding means.

So he kept the Dimensional Ship constantly on the move and frequently peeked into the future to prevent unexpected situations from happening.

It was a fact that the Star Glory Empire couldn't find him in a short while, but if the Fallen Titan took action, that wasn't necessarily the case.

When it came to life and death, he believed this dying Titan would tear apart all enemies standing in his way!
