Chapter 711: I'm Just Here To Bully People!

The cool guy's eyes widened in anger, clearly extremely furious. "Do you know that if the Black Hole Server goes offline for even one second, we will suffer immense losses!?"

Only during the most severe period of the AI Catastrophe did the Black Hole Server go offline and become inaccessible.

There was no need to think; those gray organizations in the outside world had probably already turned the sky upside down.

Their massive wealth was all stored in the Black Hole Bank.

The sudden offline status of the Black Hole Server would plant a seed of doubt in their hearts, perhaps triggering a crisis of trust at some point.

Not to mention the large number of gray organizations in the outside world, all of whom were panicking and pressing the login button over and over again, yet receiving no response.

Hearing this, Li Yu merely smiled and said, "What does that have to do with me? I didn't deposit money in your Black Hole Bank."

The cool guy suppressed his inner anger and said, "Aren't you going a bit too far!?"

"It's not going too far, just self-preservation. Actually, I'm very afraid of dying." Li Yu paid no mind to the other party's reaction. He looked around; what appeared before him was a magnificent scene.

Light green plants covered the earth, the sky was as clear as if it had been washed, and behind the thin clouds, one could vaguely see rigid geometric structures with straight lines.

Those were Large Network Nodes floating in orbit. Their scale was so massive that one could see those magnificent space facilities even from the surface.

There was a Giant Ring enveloping the entire planet, continuing endlessly and extending to extremely far places. Every certain distance, it flashed with red and green lights.

With Li Yu's current Life Tier, he could naturally see the Black Celestial Body at the very end, looking just like a black hole.

All data terminals extended into it, looking like a black sun.

Every organization capable of making a huge name for itself in the interstellar space had its own unique technology.

The Black Hole Network was no exception.

Of course, that wasn't a real black hole; it just looked somewhat similar on the outside.

Their Black Hole Server could contain all the data of the entire Interstellar Network at present, and could make microsecond reactions regardless of distance.

The plain they were currently on was actually the bottom of a giant Ring Mountain. Macroscopically, it should be considered a basin, but the scale of this Ring Mountain was so vast that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call the bottom a great plain.

And on the plain, one could see some sparsely distributed High Towers and magnificent alloy buildings in the distance.

The cool guy's eyes flickered, and he finally issued a command on his smart terminal.

A series of commands, some which Li Yu could understand and some he couldn't, were quickly executed. The scenery within the entire Ring Mountain instantly underwent a massive transformation.

The original blue sky, green grass, and distant mountain ranges all vanished, replaced by an expanse of chaotic, dark space.

Only the place where they were standing floated isolated in the heavy, black space.

Very clearly, that planet just now was merely a Virtual Scenery.

A table quickly surfaced before their eyes. A hint of a ripple appeared in Li Yu's eyes.

This seemed to be a high-end application of Virtual Reality Technology. The planet that had just appeared, as well as this table, could be said to be real, or could be said to be projections.

At the same time, five seats surfaced at the table, followed by the appearance of four lifeforms. The cool guy also sat in one of the seats.

The Shadow Organization Leader, whom Li Yu had met before, was surprisingly among them.

Facing Li Yu, he appeared extremely calm, clearly having already told the Black Hole Network's high echelon about Li Yu forcing his hand.

He could be considered part of the highest decision-making level; this matter couldn't have much impact on him.

It was just that the Shadow Organization was still dissolved later on.

One of the guys, whose identity and status were obviously relatively high, spoke:

"Not long ago, we discovered an unknown Artificial Intelligence inside the server. It transferred Your Excellency's live broadcast, making the Black Hole Network the final load."

"Afterward, the Star Glory Empire initiated accountability against us. We paid a certain price to calm this matter down."

"That special Artificial Intelligence should be Your Excellency's doing, right."

Li Yu wasn't surprised. He walked straight up to the table, sat down, and nodded. "That's right. Thanks to your servers, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to find a server with such a large load capacity in a short time."

The expressions of the several people changed slightly, clearly somewhat displeased. That person continued, "We don't intend to continue pursuing this matter, but why is Your Excellency clinging to the Black Hole Network and not letting go?"

The meaning of these few guys was very clear: you can't always single out the simple-minded people to bully; we already took the blame for you last time.

It would be one thing if you didn't thank us, but now you actually come knocking on our door to bully us; that's going too far.

"I just want to come over and look up some information. Everyone knows that your information is the most complete," Li Yu said frankly.

"Look up information!?" The cool guy couldn't help but say, "Then wouldn't it be fine for you to just purchase it from us directly? Even if you didn't want to spend money, there was no need to make such a big fuss."

"Hurry up and lift the blockade!"

"No, I need the most complete information. My trust in you isn't quite enough, so I need to review it personally." Li Yu shook his head, then tapped the table, his voice cold: "Open your server permissions and let me go in and take a look."

The five people were clearly shocked by the dominance in Li Yu's words.

Then, their expressions all became even uglier.

The Black Hole Server was their root; it wasn't something just anyone could look at.

Moreover, when asking someone for a favor, there should at least be an attitude of asking for a favor.

Looking at Li Yu's attitude, he clearly didn't put the Black Hole Network in his eyes at all; it was too excessive.

But the crowd looked at each other and still suppressed the displeasure in their hearts. One of them said:

"The Black Hole Server cannot be opened casually. You can tell us what information you want to know, and we can guarantee we absolutely won't conceal anything."

"Sorry, no can do." Li Yu shook his head.

Bang!

The cool guy said angrily, "Dragon Sovereign, you're going too far. Us giving you face because of the Other-Dimensional Camp behind you doesn't mean we're afraid of you."

"The way you say it makes it sound like you've suffered a huge grievance. This doesn't look like the Black Hole Network that uses private information to threaten political leaders of civilizations." Li Yu didn't even raise his eyelids, continuing:

"The Other-Dimensional Camp doesn't need you to give them face. Just do whatever you want to do."

"Then don't blame me for not holding back!" The cool guy's eyes flashed with a sharp glint as he spoke.

"Graeme!" someone shouted in a low voice.

"You want to fight?" Li Yu asked.

"Are you scared!?" Graeme provoked.

Li Yu looked around at the several people and said slowly, "What I mean is, you aren't good enough on your own; all of you should come at me together."

The crowd's expressions changed slightly. They were already unhappy with Li Yu's aggressive attitude, and now hearing that Dragon Sovereign wanted to fight one against five, they were even more displeased.

"Are you sure you want to fight the five of us alone?" Graeme frowned, his expression unsightly, feeling like he was being underestimated.

"Yeah, otherwise I'm afraid it'll end too quickly and I won't feel anything at all."

Li Yu chuckled lightly.

This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; it was his plan all along.

To come investigate information about the Ancient Starpath, and then use the hands of the Black Hole Network to leak this information to the Star Glory Empire.

But this group of old turtles hid very deeply. Under normal circumstances, if he came amiably, the other party would definitely help him look up the information too.

They might not even notify the Star Glory Empire afterward to avoid bringing trouble upon themselves.

Only by pushing them to the brink would they think of taking revenge on him.

Of course, there was another method, which was to cooperate with the Black Hole Network.

However, he didn't trust these few guys. It might look like these few old geezers were being bullied pretty miserably by him.

In reality, the Black Hole Network relying on its own advantages to use private information to threaten others was the norm.

Among those mingling in the gray zone, were there any good people? Not to mention the Black Hole Network was the boss among bosses.

If he cooperated with the Black Hole Network, it would be hard to avoid being treated as a commodity waiting for the highest bidder by this group of people, or even having them secretly notify the Star Glory Empire.

Therefore, he simply came straight over to act as a tyrant. It just so happened he could also implant Claptrap into the true core of the Black Hole Network's server.

"You are too arrogant. The only reason we are apprehensive of you is because of the Other-Dimensional Camp."

Graeme's tone also turned cold. After being provoked time and time again, he completely tore off all pretenses.

Looking at the increasingly dissatisfied expressions of the five people, Li Yu restrained his smile.

His pupils radiated abundant Energy Radiance, the aura around his body gradually rising, and Golden-Red Lightning began to crackle and surface around him.

A vigorous mental fluctuation carrying energy oscillations emanated from Li Yu's mind:

"So much nonsense; aren't we still going to fight?"

The energy barrier opened, and the several people arrived in the outside world, finding an empty expanse of the starry sky.

"You asked for this yourself. Whatever happens, it has nothing to do with us," Graeme emphasized with a dark face.

"Of course, rest assured." Li Yu's demeanor was not tense, which made the five of them hold a breath of anger.

Today they definitely had to teach this arrogant guy a lesson.

"Hmph, we won't bully you either. I'll go first myself!" Graeme's mental fluctuation spread out very far. It wasn't clear who this sentence was meant for.

Perhaps for the Other-Dimensional Camp observing in secret?

After Graeme finished speaking, he made a move without hesitation. Although he acted like a sissy earlier, hesitating endlessly.

But when it came to fighting, he was extremely ruthless!

Dense energy light beams seemed to transform into a curtain of light, directly carrying out focused coverage strikes against Li Yu.

Clusters of light exploded frequently around Li Yu, while Graeme himself disappeared from his original spot, seemingly looking for Li Yu's flaws.

But Li Yu merely raised his hand, and the surrounding energy was entirely gathered together by an invisible force.

At the same time, massive swathes of Golden-Red Lightning were emitted by Li Yu, heading in a specific direction like tracking missiles.

The secretly hidden Graeme was startled. Simultaneously, not willing to be outdone, he directly tore through the void and headed toward Li Yu, preparing for close-quarters combat.

The two torrents rapidly approached and then crashed together with a boom!

Rumble—

The battle erupted instantly, and the scene suddenly became fiery. But with just one encounter, Graeme was directly blown away by an overbearing force. His arm fractured, and fresh blood spurted out.

"Such powerful strength!!"

Graeme was shocked and hurriedly mobilized his energy to repair it. Unfortunately, these actions were futile.

His wound was being eroded by an invisible force, making it very difficult to repair in a short time.

The current Li Yu was terrifyingly strong. Dealing with Graeme alone, he didn't even need Explosive Potential; he could straightforwardly crush him, completely without needing any flashy maneuvers.

Graeme was fundamentally not an easily defeated foe for Li Yu!

The battlefield quickly turned into a one-sided trend. He was completely not a match in close combat, so he could only be forced to keep his distance.

But the next moment, massive, glowing blue light bloomed like a lotus flower. The area he was in suddenly underwent a bizarre Space Collapse. Spatial Turbulence raged out, but was restricted to this ring-shaped area.

Fuck!

Graeme was terrified in his heart. He could only forcibly endure the Spatial Turbulence to forcefully break out of this area.

Swish!

The next moment, a highly concentrated Black-Red Ray shot over rapidly. Its surface was also wreathed in Golden Lightning, penetrating layer upon layer of paper-like energy barriers, and hit the afterimage left in place.

Graeme flashed to the side and turned his head to look in the direction the light beam came from.

He saw that at some point, Li Yu had raised his finger, pointing it this way, and his fingertip was still flashing with light.

"You dodged quite fast... what a pity..."

Li Yu's tone carried a hint of regret.

Before Graeme could react, his pupils instantly contracted. That black-red light beam mixed with thunder penetrated through his chest.

How did it... turn a corner!?

This was a ray condensing the Fallen Star Energy and the Power of Thunder.

The foundation was highly concentrated Fallen Star Energy, supplemented by thunder energy, possessing astonishing penetrative power and lethality.

Li Yu lowered his finger and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Alarm bells instantly rang loudly in Graeme's heart. He backhanded a palm strike behind him, exactly blocking the fist thrown by Li Yu, who had used Void Leap to arrive.

Bang!!

Fist and palm clashed, and a ring-shaped blue-and-purple shockwave suddenly erupted!

Right at this instant, Graeme's expression changed drastically. He discovered that, centered on the area where the fist and palm made contact, that terrifying force was traveling along his body, devastating his cellular structure.

Graeme had already prepared to resist the impact, but he was still shocked by this power.

He himself had evolved to an extremely deep level, thus bursting with a Combat Power Level exceeding 500 million, yet he had absolutely no power to resist before Li Yu.

At this moment, Graeme made a prompt decision, shattering the space behind him. Spatial Turbulence arose out of nowhere and swallowed him within. In an instant, he broke free from the control, and his entire person disappeared without a trace.

He seemed to also have the ability to manipulate space.

"Yo, quite a few escape methods."

Li Yu raised an eyebrow and didn't use the Space Stone to stop him. He turned his head and glanced over, only to see that in the extreme distance of the battlefield...

A surge of Spatial Turbulence gushed out and spat Graeme out.

"That was close... I was almost beaten to death." Graeme didn't have time to catch his breath. He hurriedly checked his own state, secretly alarmed.
