Chapter 718: Over Two Million Eight Hundred Thousand Possibilities

~12 min read 2,389 words

"Fallen Angel..." A trace of astonishment flashed through Saida's eyes.

This was a vast Laboratory. Presented before her was precisely a Fallen Angel, securely imprisoned.

"I wonder if this price can satisfy your side." Beside her was a brawny man with extremely hideous muscles.

Seeing Saida's reaction, a smile involuntarily flashed across the corners of his mouth.

"You caught this in the Ancient Starpath?" Saida didn't answer this question directly, but asked instead.

"Of course, we lost quite a few of our good hands. During this period, it's exactly them stirring up trouble in the Ancient Starpath." Walker's expression abruptly changed, becoming extremely gloomy.

"Them?" Saida keenly caught this piece of information.

"Your Excellency doesn't think there's only this one, do you? Their numbers are extremely astonishing; someone must be cultivating them behind the scenes."

"According to the information leaked from those Terror Lifeforms, this is a Technology unique to the Titan Civilization. The secret hidden behind it must not be small."

Due to the appearance of the Terror Lifeforms, much of the information and data regarding the Titan Civilization was no longer top secret.

Let alone the heads of large organizations like them, even some ordinary people knew some information.

"If there's only this, it's far from being able to satisfy the conditions you proposed." Saida fell silent for a moment, then shook her head and said.

Walker coldly snorted: "Your appetite is a bit too big. I have already locked down the information regarding the appearance of the Fallen Angels."

"No one in the entire Ancient Starpath knows what the true reason is for the soaring death rate during this period."

The entire Ancient Starpath seemed vast and boundless, but in reality, one could only enter it through Navigation Points. Entering blindly was courting death.

With The Fallen City's familiarity within the Ancient Starpath, saying they locked down this news truly wasn't bragging.

"Not enough!" Saida still only had these two words.

Walker's face turned ashen, a strong Aura erupting from his body, and gritted his teeth: "Then I'll just add this city and give it to you all. Anyway, I won't have a use for it after I evacuate from here."

Saida's expression remained unchanged, not being intimidated by Walker.

The Fallen City was originally their target. If possible, she wanted to squeeze out even more.

However, looking at Walker's performance, she frowned slightly, extinguishing the thought of further pressing him, and nodded: "Alright, with the addition of The Fallen City, we will provide the resources you requested and offer corresponding support in the outside world."

"Pleasure cooperating." Walker, who was previously extremely angry, changed faces in an instant, revealing an amicable smile and extending his hand.

Operating such a massive Fallen City, how could he easily change expressions due to emotions.

Saida knew she had been played. Her expression sank slightly, but she didn't raise the price, nor did she acknowledge Walker.

Walker didn't mind either, merely shaking his head and saying: "Don't think I took advantage of anything either. If I didn't have a premonition that the Ancient Starpath is about to usher in a major upheaval, there's no way I could possibly leave here."

"This Fallen City was built using Void Stones. It's a specialty of that Civilization Ruin I discovered, and can stabilize the space of the Ancient Starpath, avoiding irregular disasters."

"Don't think that the Void Stone is just a simple spatial stabilization device. The space of the Ancient Starpath isn't that easy to stabilize; their properties are very rare."

He had stayed in the Ancient Starpath since making his fortune. Over so many years, he had also somewhat grasped the "pulse" of the Ancient Starpath.

But the Fallen Angels that appeared this time made him sniff out a trace of something unusual, like some insect that could predict weather changes.

So he would rather abandon this cornucopia and evacuate.

Saida was Noncommittal, only responding indifferently: "You can leave here now. Our people will take over The Fallen City shortly."

"May I ask, what exactly do you want to do?" Walker probed.

"You crossed the line!" Saida unceremoniously scolded.

Walker chuckled, not minding it, and slowly left this place, but his mind was pondering another problem.

Those few bizarre bugs, which faction should he sell them to.

......

Outside the Xenomite Civilization's homeworld, Li Yu stood tall in the void, the green eyeball in his hand emitting a faint radiance.

Massive amounts of unknown scenes flashed continuously in his eyes at every moment, from tragic battles to the secluded void.

It wasn't until a long time later that the green eyeball in his hand completely turned into fine powder.

And Li Yu's body unexpectedly swayed, seeming somewhat unstable.

The scenes in his eyes had disappeared, accompanied by a flash of fatigue.

"Over two million eight hundred thousand possibilities. It seems it still isn't the limit, just that I can't endure it anymore..." Li Yu couldn't help but click his tongue.

Using the Orb of Agamotto, he initiated a prediction on the Dark Void to see if there was a way to obtain that mechanical Metal Box.

He saw a total of 2,843,796 possibilities, far exceeding his estimation.

He saw the result caused by every one of his choices: direct attack, a roundabout approach, utilizing other means, and a series of other methods.

And the possibility of success was—0%.

Yes, it was even more outrageous than The Avengers defeating Thanos; it was simply 0%.

However, Li Yu wasn't too surprised by this result.

A normal time prediction wouldn't calculate the System's items into it.

It would only calculate his own Strength, and with his current Strength, it was basically impossible to Snatch Food From A Tiger's Mouth from the jaws of two Mechanical Black Dragons.

And according to the information revealed from so many results,

if he merely stepped into that space, it would trigger the first Mechanical Black Dragon.

If the stalemate lasted for more than an hour or so, the remaining warships would also revive.

And if he directly approached that mechanical Metal Box, then the second Mechanical Black Dragon would also awaken.

He was beaten to death many times like this. A head-on confrontation only led to a dead end.

"However, I didn't expect that even the Star Glory Empire was calculated into it this time..." Li Yu felt solemn inwardly. In fact, in this prediction, what he learned was not just the basic situation of the Dark Void.

A considerable portion of the 2.8 million possibilities involved other biological entities.

Direct attack was one major possibility.

And luring others to scout the path to Fish In Troubled Waters was also a major possibility.

He originally intended to lure the Star Glory Empire to the Ancient Starpath, thus extending this major category of possibilities.

The general idea was to lure the Star Glory Empire into this Dark Void, let them fight so When the Snipe and the Clam Fight, the Fisherman Wins, and then he would Fish In Troubled Waters himself.

Deduced under normal circumstances, this was indeed something he might do.

And in most possibilities, it was basically the Star Glory Empire that won, defeated the two Mechanical Black Dragons, obtained the Metal Box, and even captured him.

In the minority of possibilities where they returned without success, it was because the Fallen Titan was involved.

For some unknown reason, that guy stood on the side of the Mechanical Black Dragons. But most of the time, he didn't defeat the Star Glory Empire, only making them return without success.

And Li Yu himself was caught by the Fallen Titan the vast majority of the time.

The reason why the Star Glory Empire held such a huge advantage was because the Strength they dispatched was too strong.

In most of the possibilities, he saw the Energy Fluctuations spanning across the Starry Universe; it was the radiance belonging to Super Lifeforms.

In most possibilities, the Star Glory Empire dispatched three Super Lifeforms. Even if they failed, they didn't dispatch a fourth one.

This had already greatly exceeded Li Yu's expectations. He originally thought that the Star Glory Empire would dispatch at most two Super Lifeforms in the conventional sense this time, not a half-cripple like Sissoko.

But in the most tragic war possibility, he was discovered by the Star Glory Empire beforehand, resulting in him being captured.

Then the Fallen Titan appeared and joined forces with the two Mechanical Black Dragons to launch a fierce Counterattack against the Star Glory Empire.

Who knew how that guy was so fierce. His Genes had already collapsed, yet he still erupted with terrifying combat power, beating the Star Glory Empire into steady retreat.

He even almost killed a relatively weaker Super Lifeform.

Then the Star Glory Empire got angry and dispatched a fourth Super Lifeform, dragging the fight until the Fallen Titan's Explosive Potential duration ended, securing the victory.

However, such a possibility only occupied less than ten times out of the 2.8 million possibilities.

"The Fallen Titan indeed wants to make a move against me. In similar possibilities, it's basically because I was carelessly discovered by a Super Lifeform of the Star Glory Empire, which is why he experiences Explosive Potential."

Li Yu carefully recalled. The only Titans existing in the entire Universe were him, the Fallen Titan, and the Eternal Titan.

The combat power of the Eternal Titan was unquestionable and not so easy to obtain, while he appeared to be relatively easier to bully.

The Star Glory Empire's purpose was not as strong, primarily focusing on the big picture. If they hadn't been forced into desperation by the Fallen Titan, they wouldn't have dispatched a fourth one.

"Combined with Lyman's information, this also means that four Super Lifeforms are already the limit for the Star Glory Empire..."

Li Yu couldn't help but be solemn. This was already equivalent to the number of Super Lifeforms of a mid-to-large-sized Tribe in the Titan Civilization.

And these Super Lifeforms were originally prepared by the Star Glory Empire to deal with him.

This time, the Star Glory Empire had truly invested heavily, making up their minds to thoroughly resolve him here, or rather, to resolve the Other-Dimensional Camp.

The successive clashes left almost no room for mitigation between the two.

Unless Li Yu handed over the Titan Artifacts, and this was obviously impossible.

Without calculating the variables of the System, among so many possibilities, he didn't have the slightest chance of winning.

The 2.8 million possibilities could roughly be divided into four categories:

He fights alone, the Star Glory Empire wins, the Star Glory Empire fails, and the last one is nothing happens.

That meant he felt this operation was too dangerous and simply ran away.

However, in actual situations, there was a high probability he wouldn't choose this method.

Because he had learned a lot of information from these 2.8 million possibilities.

Because when battles occurred, it was inevitable that there would be Verbal sparring, and that Crazy Bastard Fallen Titan had even more Verbal sparring.

From him, Li Yu learned an astonishing thing. Those two Mechanical Black Dragons were indeed from the Eternal Civilization.

And their purpose was to support the Titan Civilization, which was currently engaged in war.

The principles of Sympathy for a Fallen Comrade and If The Lips Are Gone, The Teeth Will Be Cold need not be elaborated on.

The Titan Civilization was distributed in the form of Tribes, loose yet united. Before a powerful force thoroughly consolidated them, it was difficult to launch large-scale external wars.

But the Creator Civilization was different. They were originally twisted into a single rope, sweeping across wherever they passed.

Li Yu originally thought this Dark Void should be some special attack method that trapped the Mechanical Black Dragons and the others inside.

But in reality, that Dark Void was a protective measure, aimed at protecting that mechanical Metal Box.

According to the information provided by the Fallen Titan, the civilization hostile to them, which was the Creator Civilization, ambushed the Eternal Civilization's reinforcements midway.

And this fleet of the Eternal Civilization, in order to avoid their reinforcements from turning into resources for the enemy, was forced to activate this Technology named "Time Slicing" after experiencing a battle.

Its basic principle was to temporarily hide this period of time, while simultaneously detaching themselves from space-time.

The duration wouldn't be too long and could be controlled by themselves.

It was just that this Technology was not fully mature yet. It lost control in an ultra-large-scale war and began massive Slicing, overlapping layer by layer.

The final result it caused was that they were unable to undo this "Slicing," thoroughly trapping themselves in those slices of time.

And as time passed, this vanished time completely became unable to integrate into the normal Time Flow Rate. That was why it caused the objects within to appear in the normal Main Universe, where they would be obliterated by the Cosmic Rules.

However, precisely because of the passage of a long time, this "Sliced Album" formed characteristics similar to a Galactic Forbidden Zone.

And at a certain moment, it began to affect the Main Universe, thereby creating the Ancient Starpath.

And the reason it reacted to the Tree of Life was because the Life Source Essence that created the Tree of Life had a certain probability of protecting them from being obliterated by the external Cosmic Rules.

This information was gradually pieced together by Li Yu through the numerous possibilities.

No matter how much the Fallen Titan liked Verbal sparring, it was impossible for him to spout out such a massive amount all at once like a machine gun.

Actually, he only popped out a sentence or two at most each time, but who asked Li Yu to experience too many possibilities, so he pieced it all together.

However, the Fallen Titan never said what exactly was in that mechanical Metal Box, or perhaps he didn't know either.

"Something meant to support the Titan Civilization against the Creator Civilization must definitely be a good thing, right..." Li Yu's eyes flickered.

Originally, he had planned to deal a vicious blow to the Star Glory Empire.

And now, with over 2.8 million possibilities in hand, it was even more impossible for him to give up.
