Chapter 710: Today I Will Eliminate Evil For The People!

"I have to fight the Star Glory Empire, and I have to fight the Fallen Titan..." A sharp glint flashed through Li Yu's eyes.

"If I have to fight, then I'll fight."

The Star Glory Empire couldn't find him. The Terror Lifeforms might be able to find him, but they were apprehensive of the fabricated Other-Dimensional Camp. The Fallen Titan was severely injured and highly likely didn't want to make a move; his strength was probably not enough.

It seemed both enemies posed no temporary threat to him, but a question subsequently surfaced.

What if they cooperated?

This possibility gave Li Yu a slight sense of urgency.

Sitting and waiting for death wasn't his style; taking the initiative to attack was the correct answer.

The Umbra hadn't been established for long, so they probably hadn't thought of the path of cooperating with the Star Glory Empire yet.

But that was probably only a matter of time. The interests of the two had no conflict whatsoever.

And Li Yu himself knew there was no retaliation from any Other-Dimensional Camp.

If he died or was captured, it would only be calm and tranquil afterward.

As for the negative impact brought by the Terror Lifeforms, in the eyes of the Star Glory Empire, it wasn't a problem at all—

You say they are Terror Lifeforms?

Bullshit!

They are the most loyal soldiers of my Star Glory Empire, they just look a bit strange, that's all.

Li Yu stroked his chin, ideas surfacing one by one in his mind.

He was basically certain that the Star Glory Empire must be trying every means to deal with him, or rather, to deal with the Other-Dimensional Camp.

"Therefore, the moment I show my face, they will swarm over like sharks smelling blood..."

"If, during the process of hunting me, they accidentally discovered the severely injured Fallen Titan, their first thought shouldn't be cooperation..."

Li Yu pondered, and a general line of thought gradually took shape.

It was nothing more than dog eat dog.

Under what circumstances could they cooperate? Star Glory couldn't find Li Yu, and the Fallen Titan could provide a method.

But if the Star Glory Empire believed they had already locked onto Li Yu's position, would the Fallen Titan still have any value for cooperation?

They probably wouldn't have that thought, and might even treat him as an unexpected harvest.

Even if, to avoid accidents while dealing with Li Yu, they didn't make a move against the Fallen Titan, they would definitely do so afterward.

As long as he gently gave a nudge at that time, a battle would erupt between the two in an instant.

"The main battlefield will probably have to be set in the Ancient Starpath. This time I must find a way to achieve work once, rest forever, beating the Star Glory Empire until it hurts, saving them from always secretly causing trouble."

Li Yu pondered inwardly. The Ancient Starpath was a tricky place.

Although he had been there once or twice, he completely didn't understand it.

An unfamiliar main battlefield would inevitably produce many unexpected situations.

Furthermore, how to make the Star Glory Empire enter the trap without becoming suspicious was also a problem.

What he didn't know was that not long ago, the Star Glory Empire was also thinking about this question.

"The Black Hole Network..."

Eventually, an organization surfaced in his mind. The Black Hole Network's most important lifeline was intelligence and information.

Their former tentacles spread throughout the entire interstellar space, so they should have a very deep understanding of the Ancient Starpath.

Moreover, the task of how to make the Star Glory Empire enter the trap would probably have to fall on the Black Hole Network.

"I originally thought of waiting a while before going to find you guys, but now it seems I can't delay it any longer." A virtual model of Claptrap surfaced on Li Yu's palm, then dissipated into a set of coordinates.

It wasn't that Li Yu didn't dare to appear in the outside world, but rather he didn't want his whereabouts to be known by the Star Glory Empire's people.

Now that he already had an action plan, he naturally wouldn't hesitate.

......

At the same time, Codri, who should have been high-spirited, was now somewhat suspicious and paranoid.

A few months ago, he led the Eternal Titan to wipe out the Black Blood Institute, taking over most of the other party's resources and technology, instantly expanding the Salvation Ark's scale by a lot.

And due to the existence of the Eternal Titan, the major civilizations also feared them a little, throwing out various olive branches both openly and secretly.

The Star Glory Empire even assumed various alluring postures, inviting him to engage in deep cooperation.

At the same time, everyone from top to bottom in the organization who had been very dissatisfied with the Lord of the Ark passing the leader position to Codri suddenly had no objections.

This should have been the time when he walked toward the peak of his life, looking down on interstellar space.

But ever since shortly after wiping out the Black Blood Institute, he frequently had a feeling of being spied on, and that feeling was exceptionally strong.

It was as if someone was pressing against his forehead, staring at him.

"Leader, are we really going to open up the Ark System? This is our core," a few high-echelon members said with miserable faces.

"Open a portion of it. The revival of Advanced Lifeforms above A-rank is not that simple; it requires the assistance of the Life Core, and that thing is used up one by one." Codri rubbed his brow.

"The Star Glory Empire has already shown their sincerity. The Destruction Particle technology is enough to make our military power level rise very..."

Suddenly, his tone paused. He felt an extremely sharp sense of observation again. He abruptly turned his head to look at the corner of the room, but there was absolutely nothing there.

Codri took a deep breath, a trace of fear flashing through his eyes. He hurriedly stood up and, under the puzzled gazes of his subordinates, headed to the deepest part of the base.

The Eternal Titan was standing quietly here. There were quite a few staff members cleaning his body around him; in reality, there was nothing much to clean.

It wasn't until he arrived here that the feeling of being spied on suddenly disappeared.

"This definitely isn't an illusion. What exactly is going on!" Codri's pupils were covered in bloodshot lines, and he gritted his teeth tightly.

"Who exactly is it!"

This matter had been driving him crazy lately. If it happened once or twice, it would be fine; it might still be an illusion.

But happening once or twice every day, that couldn't be an illusion.

He wasn't an idiot either; the Black Blood Institute couldn't possibly have this kind of ability.

The only thing that could possibly lead to this situation was the Eternal Titan before him.

He had a speculation in his heart: it was highly likely that some lifeform was targeting the Eternal Titan, and he was just collateral.

He stayed here for a moment. After leaving the vicinity of the Eternal Titan, that feeling of being spied on didn't appear again. Only then did he calm his mind and continue handling other affairs.

......

In a certain Unknown Starfield, several Transformers opened a Dimensional Rift, and Li Yu walked out from within.

His target wasn't here. This was just a Transformer coming to place a ward; he couldn't get too close or he would be discovered.

Subsequently, following the coordinate direction, he tore through the void. With the power of the Space Stone, he quickly crossed a considerable distance.

This appeared to be an empty expanse of the starry universe, without even a barren planet.

However, in Li Yu's eyes, he could see a barrier engraved with dense runes. This area was strictly protected, obviously showing traces of artificial modification. This was exactly what the coordinates pointed to.

"...Looks like a method from The Council's side, creating a Warped Domain? Why didn't they put the servers in a dimensional world..."

"Oh, it might affect bandwidth, and they'd still have to use dimensional communication equipment to transfer it, which is very inconvenient."

Li Yu carefully observed the surrounding situation. This place looked very quiet, as if there weren't even any guards.

Li Yu flew over and placed his palm on the invisible energy shield. Instantly, he felt an extremely strong repulsive force; the shield's strength was exceptionally tough.

"A barrier of this level, it's probably not simple to set up..."

Li Yu's eyes flickered slightly.

He didn't believe that his touching this barrier would leave the Black Hole Network completely unaware.

Tsk, this group of people is playing dead? Don't want to see me?

Not only that, but he also discovered that the magic symbols on this energy barrier began to light up, as if injected with even stronger energy.

This meant they didn't want to see guests, yet didn't take the initiative to attack either, seemingly wanting him to leave on his own.

"Looks like I have to use a bit of brute force."

Li Yu raised the [Infinity Gauntlet]. The light of four gemstones flickered, and terrifying power gathered.

Right at this moment, Li Yu noticed the barrier before him began to change, revealing a crack.

Buzz—

The next moment, a figure flew out from the crack and arrived not far away.

This person was wearing a well-tailored suit, his hair looked like it had been licked by some creature, his leather shoes were shiny, and his hands were in his pockets, making him look like a cool guy.

"Dragon Sovereign, how did you find this place..."

A mental fluctuation carrying a hint of helplessness came over.

Li Yu looked over, sized him up, and suddenly raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise flashing through his eyes.

"Eh, you don't seem to be the leader of the Black Hole Network."

He had seen the leader of the Black Hole Network in Returning Star; it was a taciturn old-school strongman, not this cool guy.

"I'm here, and your leader actually doesn't come out personally; this is looking down on me too much." After saying that, Li Yu wanted to make a move.

"Wait, the Black Hole Network doesn't have a leader right now." The cool guy hurriedly spoke up and explained, "The one you saw before was just a figurehead leader. I'll have him come out right now."

The barrier opened a crack again, and a guy shrouded in a black robe walked out. It was exactly the guy Li Yu had seen in Returning Star before.

"Your Excellency Dragon Lord..."

His mental fluctuation carried a hint of twilight, and the life aura in his body was also very weak, as if he had already reached the end of his life.

"Oh..." Li Yu's reaction was flat, but then an angry look suddenly surfaced on his face: "I see you guys hiding your strength, you definitely harbor ill intentions; I'm afraid your intent is detrimental to the interstellar society!"

Energy surged on his body again, intending to make a move.

The cool guy hurriedly explained again: "Wait, we did this to avoid suppression from the major civilizations. The former Black Hole Network was too powerful. Only by putting on this appearance would they relax their vigilance. We are also doing this to protect ourselves!"

"Oh..." Li Yu was stunned for a moment, glanced at the already raised [Infinity Gauntlet], and shouted again: "Forget it, since I'm already here, today I must eliminate evil for the people!"

"Dragon Sovereign! You..." The cool guy's face turned pitch black as he couldn't help but shout, but looking at Li Yu's slightly expectant gaze, his tone softened again as he smiled bitterly:

"...What exactly is your purpose for coming here? Just say it directly, we will do our best to assist."

He could tell now, this crazy bastard was deliberately looking for trouble.

Li Yu "tsked". You don't hit a smiling person. Since the other party was so tactful, it wasn't good for him to continue taking action.

He could only let his hand down resentfully.

Seeing the disappointment revealed in Li Yu's eyes, the cool guy couldn't help but curse inwardly.

If it weren't for the deterrence of the Other-Dimensional Camp, they would have directly made a move the very first instant Li Yu appeared. How could they allow this guy to be so arrogant.

Unfortunately, the mysterious and powerful Other-Dimensional Camp made them shrink back.

In the cognition of these high echelon interstellar factions, the Other-Dimensional Camp was very powerful.

But their impression of Li Yu's own strength still remained at the battle of the Benfir Civilization.

An ordinary A5-tier lifeform.

But they all knew this guy could "invite gods," so they were very apprehensive.

They originally held a faint hope, thinking the other party might have accidentally come here.

Unfortunately, everything that happened subsequently shattered the last bit of hope in their hearts.

"Aren't you going to invite me in to sit down? Talking about things here is too shabby." Li Yu smiled and spoke.

"Please..." With his mind racing, the cool guy could only open a crack to let Li Yu enter the barrier.

Li Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he raised the [Infinity Gauntlet] again. The cool guy's expression changed slightly, wanting to speak again.

But Li Yu merely snapped his fingers lightly. The Green, Blue, and Red gemstones flashed, and an invisible fluctuation instantly swept across the entire star sector.

"Don't worry, just a small arrangement."

Li Yu patted his shoulder and walked straight in. He wasn't afraid of someone attacking him.

Through some of Claptrap's information, he had a rough understanding of the Black Hole Network's strength.

Stronger than ordinary armed factions, perhaps even stronger than Returning Star.

But wanting to deal with him, they were still far from enough.

Just as he entered the barrier, the cool guy's smart terminal rang. He glanced down and his expression changed drastically, unable to help but shout:

"All external communications have been completely blocked!? The Black Hole Server has gone offline? Communication signals can only circulate internally..."

"How could this happen? Ultra-long-range quantum communication can ignore any communication blockade..."

Halfway through speaking, he abruptly turned his head to look at Li Yu again: "You did this!?"

Li Yu's tone was relaxed as he said, "I told you, just a small arrangement."

"You also know that due to certain circumstances, I've had some misunderstandings with the Star Glory Empire. So I can only temporarily cut off your external communication network to prevent you from taking the wrong path."

He wasn't using any brilliant methods, just setting up a "Chrono-Spatial Barrier" in this star sector.

First, he used the Time and Space Stones to create a "membrane," and then used the Reality Stone to expand this membrane to cover the entire energy barrier.

This way, he could reduce the burden on himself to a minimum.

A "Chrono-Spatial Barrier" was like a layer of vacuum glass, except the time and space within it were completely distorted, sufficient to cut off any external connections.

No matter how awesome their communication technology was, they couldn't cross distorted space-time.
