Chapter 716: Who the Hell Did It?
"The network fluctuated again?"
He pondered secretly. The Interstellar Network seemed to be not doing too well recently.
It was said that the recent offline incident of the Black Hole Network server was caused by the fluctuation of the Interstellar Network.
The several Gray Organizations under his protection had even approached him very anxiously at the time, thinking some major event had occurred.
Subsequently, he prepared to continue speaking along his previous train of thought.
However, the next moment, his expression changed drastically. He suddenly felt that a large portion of the Energy in his body had vanished into thin air.
"What happened!? Is someone sneak attacking me?"
He was somewhat flustered, thinking that someone was sneak attacking him from outside.
Without a second thought, he directly turned off the Virtual Projection. However, the surroundings were still silent, and the luxurious room had no traces of any enemies present.
But the bizarre thing was that the Energy in his body had tangibly decreased by half.
Yes, he reached a clear conclusion after careful perception.
Exactly half, no more, no less.
"What exactly is going on..." His expression was gloomy. Calling up the surveillance Recording didn't provide any clues either.
The loss of Energy was secondary; it could be replenished in a few days.
But the key issue was how this Energy disappeared.
This time, only half of his Energy disappeared?
What about next time? Half of his vitality? Or even half of his body?
His expression showed some hesitation, but he ultimately still connected to the Interstellar Network.
No matter what, directly leaving Loyd hanging there wasn't the right thing to do after all.
He planned to go online and briefly explain to Loyd first, then carefully research it after coming back.
Meanwhile, in the Virtual Conference Room, Loyd was just as dumbfounded as him. All the Seats in front of him were empty, and everyone had gone offline.
Originally, he was listening to the others' analysis, but for some unknown reason,
these people's expressions all suddenly changed drastically, and then they all inexplicably went offline without even an explanation.
"Did some major event happen?" He was somewhat puzzled. After glancing at his Backstage, he found no urgent messages.
If any major event had happened, he didn't believe that the Star Glory Empire's intelligence network was inferior to these few people.
Just as he was guessing, the Seat to his right flickered, and a projection gradually emerged.
"Arandor, what's going on? What happened?" Loyd asked.
Arandor originally didn't want to explain too clearly; this was the behavioral habit of most high-tier lifeforms. Whether it was a Good Thing or a bad thing, they would always hold something back first.
However, looking at the empty Seats, he was also very confused, and couldn't help but say: "Your Royal Highness, where are the others?"
I just went offline for a split second, and your meeting is already over?
I wanted to ask you that. Loyd glanced at him, not knowing if this guy was playing dumb or truly dumb, and could only say: "Just like you, their expressions suddenly changed drastically just now, and then they disappeared."
"What?" Arandor turned pale in shock, a terrifying guess surfacing in his mind.
Could it be that he wasn't the only one whose Energy was extracted just now?
Who, or what thing, had this kind of ability? The ability to extract the Energy of high-tier lifeforms located at different positions in the Universe at the exact same moment?
"Arandor!" Loyd's tone involuntarily grew heavier. Looking at Arandor's reaction, he could basically confirm that some major event he didn't know about must have happened.
"What exactly happened!" He stared at the other party.
Arandor also felt that this matter was unusual and lost his thought of hiding it, saying in a low voice: "Your Royal Highness, I vaguely heard a roar in my ears just now, and then I felt a portion of the power in my body vanish into thin air."
"I originally thought someone was sneak attacking me, but after going offline to check, I found that actually nothing had happened."
"You mean, something similar to what happened to you also happened to them?" Loyd narrowed his eyes, instantly understanding Arandor's meaning.
"I'm not sure either. However, based on their reactions just now, there should be a very high probability of that being the case." Arandor nodded.
Their guessing didn't last too long. The others very quickly came online one after another, collectively confirming this point.
"Yes, there was a faint roar..."
"That's right, it's half. My Energy indicator showed it very clearly; 50% is gone." A certain Cyborg Lifeform nodded.
After everyone exchanged opinions, the atmosphere in the conference room became heavy.
Loyd rubbed his two fingers together. On the surface, he looked very indifferent, but inwardly, he was very horrified.
These people were spread all over the Interstellar space, and there were even Tier A5 Lifeforms among them.
To silently extract their Energy at the same time was simply too astonishing.
"Why would they target us?" Arandor was very puzzled, his gaze involuntarily looking towards Loyd.
Everyone was having a meeting together, and their power was all extracted. As a result, you were the only one completely unscathed. No matter how you looked at it, the suspicion was very high.
"Let's end today's meeting first. This matter probably isn't simple." Loyd also knew that everyone didn't have the mood to continue negotiating anymore, so he simply ended the meeting directly.
However, the impact caused by this matter didn't stop there. All the lifeforms within the A-Tier Alliance had noticed this silent Energy Extraction.
It was just that most A-Tier Lifeforms were experienced and prudent people, having no interest in making their own affairs known to everyone.
Yet, there were always a few A-Tier Lifeforms with different personalities.
"Big shots, I encountered a weird thing today. While I was having an in-depth exchange with a certain Female Being, I suddenly heard a baffling roar in my ears. It almost fucking scared me limp..."
"Then an even more outrageous thing happened. A portion of the Energy in my body inexplicably disappeared. It's too bizarre..."
A few sentences suddenly popped up in the silent member group. A moment later, a massive amount of information surged out like a tide.
......
The events happening in the outside world temporarily couldn't affect the Ancient Starpath.
Li Yu had just escaped from that baffling Dark Void. His bodily Aura was somewhat declining, but he quickly recovered under the nourishment of the Tree of Life.
And not long after he came out, that Dark Void condensed into a single point and disappeared from this place again.
Li Yu vigilantly stared at that space. Until the very end, the Mechanical Black Dragon didn't fly out from inside either.
"Where exactly is that place?" Li Yu's expression was moody.
If he didn't have numerous trump cards and his combat power hadn't reached a new tier after the previous Metamorphosis, he probably would have perished in there today.
The two Mechanical Black Dragons could basically be confirmed to both be Super Lifeforms.
Such a powerful civilization actually hadn't left behind any other traces.
Could it be that they didn't belong to this Interstellar Universe?
Also, what the hell was that special mechanical Metal Box transported by two Super Lifeforms?
No matter what, it had to be an item at the level of a Titan Artifact, right?
While he was pondering, the Transformers he had swept out with him sent another report.
They had collected quite a few metal ruins inside. However, after bringing those metal ruins out, a bizarre scene occurred.
Those metal fragments, although shattered but still considered solid, seemed incompatible with this Universe. They began to tremble violently and disintegrated from the edges into an invisible particulate powder.
Very quickly, they vanished completely, leaving nothing behind.
"Can the things inside that space not appear in the outside world?" Li Yu pondered secretly.
If that was the case, he could breathe a sigh of relief.
It should be highly unlikely for those two Mechanical Black Dragons to come out again. He definitely didn't want to face the pursuit of two Super Lifeforms again.
He also didn't know what value the Tree of Life had to them.
If only the Warlock's Eye was still around, he should have been able to know what these bizarre things were.
But right as this thought appeared, he shook his head.
If he hadn't discovered the Fallen Titan, he wouldn't have come to the Ancient Starpath, nor would he have encountered this Dark Void.
When it was time to use it, he had to use it. If he hesitated, he would have died an unknown number of times already.
The inlaying of the Symbiotic Colonization Armor was very special. He could use the Tree of Life within the inlay slot, and it wouldn't attract the Dark Void.
But if he took out the Tree of Life to devour the Environmental Information State here, it would attract the Dark Void.
Before temporarily figuring out the origins of this Dark Void, he probably couldn't devour wantonly within the Ancient Starpath.
This Dark Void was very much like the Cosmic Calamities within the Ancient Starpath, having no cause or origin. It inexplicably appeared, and inexplicably disappeared.
It was just that it should belong to the most powerful kind of Cosmic Calamity!
Thinking back and forth, probably only those two guys, Andrei and Bloodlust, might know the origins of this Dark Void and that powerful mechanical civilization.
He dispatched a few Transformers and had the Death Star escort these two guys over.
......
Several days later, the Death Star traveling at full speed brought these two guys over.
Andrei and Bloodlust were both Antiques left over from the Titan Civilization era.
The former had even researched the latter. When the two of them first started out, they found each other to be eyesores for a time.
However, as time went on, under the circumstance of commiserating with each other as fellow sufferers, they gradually stopped being so diametrically opposed.
Although the two of them were considered to be in a semi-imprisoned state, they were also in a semi-cooperative state with Li Yu.
When coming over, they had already exchanged opinions with each other. Li Yu wanted to obtain information from them, but he had to grant them gradual freedom.
At the same time, they reached an agreement not to undercut each other's prices.
When they arrived here, Li Yu was on a Zerg Warship that could only be considered clean and tidy, watching the battle Recording.
"This biological civilization seems to be somewhat interesting..." As a former researcher of the Life Titans, Andrei possessed professional knowledge and a discerning eye.
With one glance, he saw the unusualness of the Xenomite Civilization.
"Highly efficient work rate. The biological entities engaged in transportation and construction work have nearly identical working characteristics. Whether it's the bending angle of their arthropod limbs or their pace, they are all at the same frequency. Is this the result of highly integrated Genes?" he frowned and said.
"No, this is the result of being manipulated by a Unified Consciousness Entity." Bloodlust shook his head. He himself was this kind of Unified Consciousness Entity, so he naturally saw through it at a glance.
"But doesn't this place have ultra-high intensity Disruption? A Spiritual Body connection shouldn't be this stable." Andrei was puzzled. The two of them had a general understanding of this Interstellar space.
They knew the special nature of the Ancient Starpath; even a Dimensional Ship couldn't open a portal here.
"I don't know, it should be their own special trait."
The two of them just discussed in low voices like this and arrived before Li Yu.
A giant holographic projection was playing the battle between him and the Mechanical Black Dragon from that time.
The exploration-type Transformers had recorded the entire battle and could mimic a three-dimensional model.
As soon as these two guys saw this battle Recording, they were drawn in.
They were both higher-order lifeforms, so they could naturally tell the combat power of those two behemoths in the battle Recording.
That Humanoid Giant was clearly Li Yu himself.
A trace of shock couldn't help but flash across their eyes. When did Li Yu become powerful to this degree?
How long had it been since he captured them, and this guy had already reached this stage?
It also didn't look like he was borrowing the power of a Super Lifeform, right?
"Do you recognize it?" Li Yu didn't even turn his head back as he inquired.
"I only recognize you. As for that Mechanical Lifeform, I have no impression." Andrei shook his head. Bloodlust was the same as well.
"Andrei..." Li Yu suddenly called him by name. This Andrei felt a sense of tension in his heart. The heaven-destroying and earth-exterminating battle was still playing, which was equivalent to a kind of deterrence, making him involuntarily tense his body up.
"Besides the Creator Civilization, did the Titan Civilization encounter any other civilizations?" Li Yu asked.
Bloodlust covertly looked towards Andrei, his metal eyes continuously transmitting some kind of information.
The agreement! The agreement!
Raise your conditions!
The corners of Andrei's mouth twitched slightly. Stop fucking winking. With those metal eyes of yours, what kind of fart information can you transmit.
He knew what Bloodlust wanted to express, but the crux of the problem was, watching the heaven-destroying and earth-exterminating battle on the screen, he truly didn't dare to raise any conditions!
"Yes, the Titan Civilization encountered many civilizations, not just the Creator Civilization." He answered. What agreement, roll to the side.
Bloodlust cursed inwardly.Motherfucker, you knelt really fast!
"I'm talking about civilizations capable of rivaling the Titan Civilization," Li Yu added.
"That I haven't. But there seemed to be a few that were quite a bit weaker, yet still not to be underestimated, and were treated rather seriously by the Titan Civilization. However, I'm not too clear on the specific information either." Andrei pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said.
"Among them, was there a mechanical civilization?" Li Yu turned his head, bringing an even more massive pressure to Andrei.
"A mechanical civilization..." Andrei frowned in bitter thought. He was only a researcher at the time, and most of what he understood was information about the Life Titan race.
