Chapter 715: Please Lend Me Your Vital Energy!

~13 min read 2,463 words

In the empty and silent space, the Mechanical Black Dragon, which should have been like a painting hung on a wall for people to appreciate, suddenly moved.

The sense of horror this brought was no less than when watching a horror movie, as the BGM grew more high-pitched, not knowing from where a bizarre object would dart out.

And for Li Yu, he understood even more clearly that the combat power of this black dragon was absolutely powerful.

More importantly, this place was too bizarre. He didn't want any battles to occur here.

Evacuating immediately was the best choice.

His speed was pulled to the maximum, retreating along the original path like a pale golden thread.

Boom!

Streaks of black Light Beams acted like fences, sealing off his forward direction.

The Space Stone flickered, and he directly crossed this blockade net.

A large number of unidentified flying objects came from all directions. Those were the dorsal fins of the Mechanical Black Dragon, which had already transformed into Black Crystal prisms during flight, seemingly forcibly sealing off this space.

Regardless of everything, Li Yu forcibly manipulated the Space Stone, tearing open a crack.

At the same time, the Scanner of the Symbiotic Colonization Armor provided the scene behind him.

At some unknown point, one of those two black dragons had already disappeared from its original spot.

The next moment, a black Energy Storm descended, forcing Li Yu to stop his footsteps.

Its crimson pupils were like asteroids, within which one could clearly see visual capture components and high-frequency flashers.

"This is targeting the Tree of Life on my body. You are all a bunch of iron lumps; what do you want this thing for?" Li Yu took a deep breath, his gaze suddenly turning sharp.

A Mechanical Body at this tier definitely possessed ultra-high intelligence, but this Mechanical Black Dragon didn't have any intention of answering him. It opened its mouth and unleashed a black Energy Breath, which was easily dodged by Li Yu.

"Its movements are still very stiff. It should be because it just broke free from that special state..."

Li Yu's body was enlarging every minute and second. The Golden Giant Tree released its radiance behind his back, the Thunder Battle Armor covered his whole body, the radiance of four gemstones flashed in turns, and blood-red flames shot into the sky. He had completely unleashed his strongest combat power!

It was clearly no longer possible to easily leave this place.

Rumble—

The battle erupted instantly. One black and one golden sphere of light charged forward, tangling together, and entering a white-hot state at the very first moment.

The roar of energy oscillations rang out continuously, bursting with round after round of strong light, as if destroying the heavens and exterminating the earth.

The wisps of black smoke released by the Mechanical Black Dragon transformed into thousands of black energy pillars. A portion acted like whips, constantly clashing with countless wildly dancing thunderbolts.

Among them, there were also dozens of dust-sized points of light jumping alone on the Mechanical Black Dragon's body. These were precisely the Transformer Legion Li Yu brought. Unfortunately, their attacks had no effect whatsoever.

They caused almost zero impact on the Mechanical Black Dragon.

Under the continuous support of the Tree of Life, Li Yu's size seemed to enlarge endlessly. Although far from reaching the size of the Mechanical Black Dragon, it had roughly reached about one-third of it.

The aftermath of the battle became increasingly fierce. A portion of the Scout-Type Transformer Legion had already retreated even further away.

But the bodies of Li Yu and the Mechanical Black Dragon still occupied their exploration vision, not even allowing them to see the full picture, as if extending endlessly.

Their mechanical pupils rotated, recording this battle.

They originally had no further emotions, but at this moment, watching the two giant creatures exuding terrifying pressure with every movement,

the operation of their underlying logic was half a beat slower. That was an indescribable fear towards an existence exceeding the scope of comprehension!

Swish!

At this moment, the giant tail of the black dragon burning with bizarre black flames tore through a large swath of spatial storms and stabbed into Li Yu's body. The sharp dragon tail was like a spear, piercing straight through him.

Then it abruptly pulled out, tearing away a massive amount of flesh and blood, scattering it across the battlefield.

However, near Li Yu's wound, tiny granulation-like fleshy tendrils grew out, patching up the wound like needles and threads, tangling and connecting with each other, restoring the injured area to its original state in the blink of an eye.

Additionally, the black flames covering the Mechanical Black Dragon's body were partially sucked away by Li Yu's body. He began attempting to analyze this power and make targeted defenses in the next attacks.

At the same time, the slash marks left by the giant black dragon tail in the spatial storm rapidly spread, suddenly turning into a gap, tearing open a crack in this Dark Void.

However, the two not only weren't pulled in by the attractive force of the crack.

Instead, due to their high mass, they formed a gravity point.

Through the crack, a large expanse of metal ruins was attracted, continuously spurting out along the spatial fissure, sprinkling on the two and scattering across the battlefield.

These were those ruins from before, located in a different scene.

Because of the fluctuations of the battle, it forcibly pierced through this Temporal Glitch-like scene, sweeping in things from other scenes.

This scene was like two murals hung on a wall, but one of the paintings broke through an indescribable barrier, forcibly attracting things from the other painting over.

And the portion of flesh and blood torn out earlier was devoured by the gap, vanishing completely without a trace.

Perhaps after a very long time, it would form special creatures difficult to comprehend.

His current flesh and blood weren't simple chunks of meat; as long as there was enough Nutritious Substance to support them, they could quickly turn into special biological entities.

Boom boom boom—

Every punch Li Yu threw would tear open a fissure, leading to a different scene.

Very quickly, many scene passages appeared in the battlefield. Countless materials surged here, shooting out streaks of matter streams.

Various bizarre things sprinkled all over the sky, beaten into fine powder in the aftermath, merging into the Energy Storm where the two clashed.

The momentum of such a battle had already exceeded the capability range of an A-Tier Lifeform.

Although the aftermath of their battles could also shatter space, it was impossible to achieve this—

Using their own Power Level to cause the Cosmic Space to form a scene similar to a reverse siphon instead.

Li Yu continuously withstood the Mechanical Black Dragon's offensive head-on. As the mechanical body rolled, nearly endless energy was released.

It was like billowing black flames, integrating offense and defense, and infecting this region.

Boom!

Right at this moment, centered on the Mechanical Black Dragon, an invisible fluctuation violently surged outward, instantly covering a massive regional scope.

Following closely, a black energy phantom expanded, overlapping with this region.

The next moment, Li Yu suddenly felt a burst of powerful binding force; his own power was inexplicably suppressed by a portion.

Not only did his movements become slower, but the power of the Mechanical Black Dragon conversely increased. Furthermore, within this region, it could freely teleport and traverse, its power instantly skyrocketing.

Moreover, this domain moved together with itself. Even if the battlefield location continuously shifted, it was unaffected.

"Some sort of high-level force field..."

Li Yu's heart sank slightly. He actually didn't want to fight this battle.

Frankly speaking, he wasn't a match for this Mechanical Black Dragon. The intensity of this Mechanical Black Dragon was definitely that of a Super Lifeform.

Even with his full firepower unleashed, he could only temporarily hold a stalemate for a moment.

This was still because the other party had just broken free from that special state; it was even somewhat stiff when attacking, and its combat power wasn't in its peak state.

As time passed, the other party was recovering its proper combat power.

And the Tree of Life had already provided a massive amount of Life Substance to him; he didn't want to expend an excessive price for this meaningless battle.

Moreover, there was another fucking Mechanical Black Dragon in this place. Who knew when that Mechanical Black Dragon would wake up.

However, this Mechanical Black Dragon wasn't willing to let him leave easily.

Without a doubt, this was a powerful civilization never understood before.

The other party's technological level had clearly reached an extremely powerful stage, and specialized in Mechanical Lifeforms.

Just like the speculations of some experts on the Ancient Starpath, most of the Civilization Ruins that appeared within it were related to mechanical Technology.

The cause of the Ancient Starpath's mutation was highly likely a mechanical civilization.

"I must leave here as soon as possible. That Dark Void should be about to disappear." He estimated the time, his mind becoming even more solemn.

Without the Tree of Life enticing it outside, the Dark Void wouldn't extend endlessly; instead, it would gradually disappear.

And he was still inside the Dark Void now; he didn't want to find out whether he could still get out if the Dark Void disappeared.

He was more inclined to directly eliminate this hidden danger.

"Looks like it's time to try the Spirit Bomb..."

With a thought from Li Yu, the Symbiotic Colonization Armor continuously derived various mechanical structures.

In the blink of an eye, a Super Giant Cannon abruptly emerged. Its caliber almost reached the size of an asteroid, the muzzle bottomless like a pitch-black abyss.

United Strength activated!

This was the ability from the Justice Alliance. The general principle was similar to a Spirit Bomb; both drew on the power of others.

This kind of attack method didn't have a designated form. Even smashing with a fist wouldn't be impossible.

However, there was another important reason why Li Yu used a cannon for the attack.

The Hawkeye Emblem flashed and faded. A fivefold Amplification was only useful for ranged attacks!

Buzz buzz buzz—

Surging energy accumulated within the gun barrel, and a strong light exploded in flashes.

A giant Energy Beam the size of a planet's diameter blasted out with a boom. Carrying massive kinetic energy, it slammed heavily into the Mechanical Black Dragon's chest and abdomen, blasting deeply into it as large swathes of energy light flakes danced in the sky.

The next moment, the strong light almost overloaded the mechanical pupils of the Transformers present.

He saw the Energy Beam explode violently, instantly covering the Mechanical Black Dragon. An Energy Sphere far more massive than a star continuously expanded, seemingly about to erupt with fluctuations that would destroy the heavens and exterminate the earth!

However, Li Yu didn't have any intentions of pressing his advantage to pursue the attack.

The intensity of this attack was indeed very high, but it was impossible to cause a devastating blow to this Mechanical Black Dragon; at most, it could only temporarily delay its footsteps.

Without hesitation, while his body shrank, he swept up the surrounding Transformers and evacuated toward the way he came again.

Boom!

The Energy Sphere behind him abruptly exploded. Ring-shaped fluctuations continuously dissipated, forming continuously stacking folds even in this Dark Void, sufficiently proving its destructive power.

A long time later, the Mechanical Black Dragon finally emerged from the Residual Energy.

Its massive body didn't seem to have suffered any damage. Upon careful observation, one could see that certain weak Armor parts were slightly twisted.

It was just that its surface Coating was originally black, so some explosion traces were hard to discover.

Its crimson pupils flickered slightly, already unable to search for the traces of that lifeform from just now.

......

At the same time, in a certain Virtual Conference Room of the Interstellar Network, most of the council members of the A-Tier Alliance were secretly meeting.

Among them was also a person who didn't belong to the A-Tier Alliance—Loyd.

"Your Royal Highness, we have already occupied the majority of the council seats. We can initiate a presidential impeachment at any time and replace Dragon Sovereign with our own person."

"Otherwise, the next time a similar incident occurs, the Members will be accustomed to listening to Li Yu's orders, and the council seats will become mere decorations."

A certain council Member suggested. They weren't subordinates of the Star Glory Empire.

They just had a good relationship with the Star Glory Empire and had secretly conducted various under-the-table transactions, so they were willing to listen to the Star Glory Empire's commands.

Loyd frowned slightly: "I already said, the impeachment cannot be initiated by our people, and we cannot secretly push this matter forward."

"But the others are intimidated by Dragon Sovereign's prestige; it's completely impossible for them to bring up impeachment." Someone frowned, totally not understanding Loyd's thoughts.

He was the first successor of the Star Glory Empire. Was it necessary... oh, Dragon Sovereign just decapitated an Imperial Heir.

But that was being prepared against the unprepared. Now the Star Glory Empire definitely wouldn't allow a second occurrence of such a thing.

Loyd was also extremely helpless, and could only brush it off by saying, "I promised him I wouldn't touch his presidency position. What's more, according to our rules, his term of office is only twenty years."

"Alright, today isn't to discuss this matter. Other civilizations have also discovered clues and want to intervene in the A-Tier Alliance. I want to ask for your opinions." Loyd changed the subject.

Currently, the Star Glory Empire exclusively manipulated the A-Tier Alliance.

In a short period, they had obtained extremely massive benefits. At the very least, they grasped the information of many A-Tier Lifeforms they hadn't grasped before.

There were also many independent A-Tier Lifeforms detached from the Major Civilizations.

The Star Glory Empire could command them under various pretexts, even having them solve some troubles for the Star Glory Empire.

However, this situation couldn't remain undiscovered forever.

Some large civilizations had already discovered the shady dealings between the Star Glory Empire and the A-Tier Alliance, demanding one after another to come in and take a share of the pie.

"If we let them in, it will inevitably dilute our right to speak. Furthermore, the time we have controlled the A-Tier Alliance has been too short, and external Public Opinion has just reversed; it's very easy to be overturned..."

A certain council member calmly made an analysis. Only suddenly, he seemed to hear a faint roar.

This caused him to involuntarily pause.
