Chapter 725: Using Oneself as Bait

~12 min read 2,248 words

What surprised the Fallen Titan was not the Dark Void, but the reason why the Dark Void appeared here.

The Information State Membrane could block all external detection. Unless the exact coordinate position was known, it was impossible to find him.

The Two-Headed Troll was still wreaking havoc in the outside world, showing no signs of being captured. Why would Li Yu suddenly appear here?

The Fallen Titan felt confused and uneasy about this, but the Golden Armored One didn't know the other party's thoughts, only feeling confused by the suddenly appearing Dark Void.

"Your Excellency Fallen Titan, what is that Dark Void!?" He asked again, his tone already carrying a hint of ruthlessness.

"That is a piece of sealed time..." The Fallen Titan couldn't explain too much either and could only speak ambiguously: "That little guy is here. Only the Tree of Life can trigger this space. Tell your people to be careful."

It took some time for the Golden Armored One to understand that "that little guy" was Li Yu.

Although confused by the Fallen Titan's address, the information revealed by the other party was more important right now.

"He is right nearby? How could this be? Did anyone else know you were here?" The Golden Armored One frowned deeply. The plan deviating from its original trajectory right at the beginning was not good news.

At the same time, outside the Information State Membrane, the sudden appearance of the Dark Void roused the vigilance of the Star Glory Empire fleet ambushing here.

All the Radars were operating at high speed, yet the observers were sweating profusely because all the Radars could not Monitor this space.

If not for the fact that their eyes could see it, they would almost think nothing had happened.

"The Fallen Titan said this is a sealed space. He probably knows the secrets inside but is unwilling to say much." The Golden Armored One's phantom appeared here, very blurry. It was not a holographic projection but another method.

"Also, he said only Li Yu can trigger it. That guy should be right around here, be careful," he urged.

"Understood. Since that's the case, then let's ascend first." The Supreme Command of the fleet nodded and quickly issued a series of directives.

Fluorescence-like Stellar Radiance appeared silently and spread at a uniform speed, forming a giant sphere.

The spherical shell formed by the distorted Starlight shattered silently like a soap bubble, and the resulting Spatial Undulations crushed all natural celestial bodies nearby.

A dazzling Space Wave Packet appeared on the battlefield, and an unprecedented Energy Reaction instantly set off intense interference.

Its surface began to churn, like a volcanic eruption.

But what it erupted with was not monstrous Pillars of Fire, but Planetary Battleships one after another, as well as countless War Fortresses and escort fleets.

In terms of visual Impact, this fleet was enough to make anyone who saw it tremble.

This was a special hiding method. The entire fleet was hidden within the Survival Space, relying on a technology called "Abyss Dive."

The central Core Battleship among them was far larger than a Planetary Battleship. Its volume was comparable to two stars, and sitting atop it was a giant city—The Fallen City.

Its unique power could stabilize the Ancient Starpath, opening up an undisturbed battlefield for the Star Glory Empire.

Moreover, it also carried a large group of Planetary Battleships. In the orbit of every Planetary Battleship, there were at least double-digit Heavy-Armored Fortresses.

Those Heavy-Armored Fortresses could almost be considered one size smaller Planetary Battleships.

Between the orbits of every Planetary Battleship, a massive number of Fleet Swarms patrolled everywhere like soldier bees guarding a hive.

Although most of them were composed of medium and small battleships, the massive scale of the fleet could still make everyone tremble with fear.

But even so, in front of the Dark Void, it was still somewhat Insignificant in Comparison. The range it encompassed was huge, like a Black Ink Stain constantly spreading on a white paper, submerging everything.

Li Yu's position was very far from here, an exactly right position.

"I'll probably be discovered in about three minutes..." Li Yu's eyes were bright. This was the answer given to him by multiple predictions.

The Star Glory Empire must have started searching crazily around here. It was only a matter of time before he was discovered.

However, this period of time was enough. The Dark Void had already expanded to a sufficient scale.

He didn't believe the Star Glory Empire could remain indifferent.

In fact, there was only a miniscule possibility that the Star Glory Empire would remain indifferent to this black attack.

The massive Combat Fleet had a systematic action plan. Not long after they ascended, an exploration fleet began to venture deep into the Dark Void.

Communication within it was completely cut off from the outside, but this couldn't stump the Star Glory Empire. After confirming they could return, upon reaching a new area, the exploration warships would collect data and then quickly return.

Pictures after pictures, accelerated Video Recordings, and a large number of data models were presented before them.

The Combat Think Tank began to analyze, and the Intelligent Combat System quickly arrived at the same conclusion as Li Yu.

"This is a special scenario similar to Temporal Glitch..."

Before touching the deepest "Time Slices," which was the area where the Mechanical Black Dragon was located, they would almost encounter no danger.

The Star Glory Empire exploration fleet quickly arrived here, and the scenes of this place were also sent to the Supreme Command.

Numerous Combat Staff Officers stared at the overwhelmingly massive fleet on the screen, as well as the Mechanical Black Dragon.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp. The scale of their Combat Fleet was already extremely massive, but compared to the fleet before them, they felt a bit Insignificant in Comparison.

"Eternal Civilization..." In the corner, a figure wearing a glowing blue robe voiced out. Numerous Combat Staff Officers stood up as a sign of respect.

The Golden Armored One's projection also appeared here at some unknown point. Looking at those ancient insignias, he added:

"Rumor has it they were Allies of the Titan Civilization and played a huge role in the later stages of the war. Unfortunately, they failed to win."

To the Star Glory Empire, which had inherited the vast majority of the Titan Civilization's legacy, the Eternal Civilization was not a secret.

"The Fallen Titan knows this secret; he knows this Dark Void exists," another guy with a loud voice said.

"They seem to be transporting something..."

The Metal Mechanical Crate was magnified. Everyone could tell that there must be something hidden inside.

This was the last warship of the exploration fleet to return. After this, nothing else came out from the Dark Void.

"I advise you guys best not to go in." The shrunken figure of the Fallen Titan also emerged here.

"That little guy triggering the Dark Void harbors ill intentions, wanting you to expend too much power here."

The Combat Staff Officers Looked at Each Other in Dismay and didn't dare to speak.

"Then what kind of secret does this space actually hold? Are you not going to tell us? What exactly is being transported in that Mechanical Crate?" The Golden Armored One said bluntly in a flat tone.

The Fallen Titan remained silent. He also didn't know what was in that Mechanical Crate, but he could be sure that the thing was indeed an extremely high technological crystallization of the Eternal Civilization.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be brought over as support.

In his plan, this thing was bound to fall into his hands.

However, originally there was only one target to solve, and that was the Other-Dimensional Camp.

But now that the Star Glory Empire also knew, there were more variables in this matter.

This was probably also the Other-Dimensional Camp's plan.

"I also don't know what's inside..." The Fallen Titan shook his head.

Hearing this, the Golden Armored One revealed a mocking smile: "If Your Excellency does not trust us, then it will be very difficult to carry out this cooperation thoroughly."

"We have already given Your Excellency a lot of face, but unfortunately Your Excellency seems very unwilling to give us face."

The Titan Civilization indeed had a very prosperous past, but their era had already passed, and it had ended in a disastrous defeat.

Losers should have the awareness of losers, and not put on an aloof and arrogant posture.

The Fallen Titan perceived the Golden Armored One's bluntness but did not get angry.

He was no longer as he was when he had just come out of the Life Titan Sanctuary. Now, he had a relatively deep understanding of this Interstellar space.

The Star Glory Empire was indeed very powerful to him right now.

Unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to go to war with the other party.

The Golden Armored One was not overbearing either. Just as he was about to speak, a Subordinate suddenly reported: "Sirs, that bizarre Dark Void is currently shrinking. Based on the rate calculation, it should disappear very soon."

The expressions of the few people changed slightly. The person wearing the blue Starlight robe spoke up: "Time. The cause of that Dark Void should be related to time. Use the Stasis Device to see if an entrance and exit can be left behind."

These Super Lifeforms' perception of Cosmic Rules was far more precise than some detection Instruments.

In a short time, they had already determined that the cause of this Dark Void was related to time.

"Yes!"

The Subordinate hurriedly received the order and left to take action.

Very quickly, accurate news arrived. The Time Stasis Device was effective. A section of the Dark Void had indeed been fixed in place, leaving behind an entrance and exit.

"Does Your Excellency want to go in together to take a look?" The Golden Armored One looked at the Fallen Titan and issued an invitation.

Apart from some pictures and speculations, they knew nothing about this Dark Void, whereas the Fallen Titan clearly knew many secrets.

Inviting him was also just to avoid more risks.

The Fallen Titan's inner uneasiness grew heavier. The Star Glory Empire believed their Strength was sufficient to suppress everything.

But he always felt an odd atmosphere enveloping him.

If possible, he would rather not enter this Dark Void.

Unfortunately... he couldn't. The thing in that Metal Mechanical Crate had already been regarded by him as A Sure Thing.

The Star Glory Empire truly had the capability to kill those two Mechanical Black Dragons and take away the Metal Mechanical Crate.

"Fine..." He spat out a single word.

Not many people went to explore. Only the Fallen Titan and the Golden Armored One; the rest remained outside to provide support.

The two quickly went deep and soon arrived at the deepest space.

Those two Mechanical Black Dragons showed no signs of activity. The traces of Li Yu's battle here last time had also disappeared, or rather, entirely ceased to exist.

It was unknown whether that Mechanical Black Dragon had returned to its original position after the battle ended, or what exactly happened.

Only the scattered, sporadic fragments of exploration warships showed that this was not a safe place.

The weighty feeling brought by the magnificent Eternal Fleet rushed towards their faces. This was a completely different feeling from seeing it in pictures.

Even the Golden Armored One was slightly dazed when facing such a massive fleet, then sighed: "Such a powerful fleet, just imprisoned here like this?"

Like Li Yu in the beginning, he made a preconceived mistake, thinking this was the result of external attack methods.

The Fallen Titan didn't correct him on this point, but just looked at one of the Mechanical Black Dragons.

At this moment, its Crimson Mechanical Pupils emitted a faint radiance, having already locked onto the intruders.

"Still alive?" The Golden Armored One quickly discovered this, and his expression instantly changed slightly.

This represented a terrifying signal. If this Mechanical Black Dragon was alive, then the other mechanical creatures in this space could probably move normally as well.

......

Outside, the Star Glory Empire's Combat Fleet surrounded the area, their search radius constantly expanding.

Li Yu stood outside their search radius. The Star Glory Empire would not immediately launch a large-scale operation on the Dark Void; this was within his expectations.

But they would definitely conduct small-scale explorations to ascertain the specific situation and secrets inside.

And once they started, it wouldn't be up to the Star Glory Empire anymore.

His goal was very clear: When the Snipe and the Clam Grapple, it is the Fisherman Who Profits.

However, the Fallen Titan and the Star Glory Empire would not Come to Blows over a tiny verbal dispute.

An irreconcilable point of interest must appear.

The Dark Void was a fuse, but the Star Glory Empire was unsure of the specific situation.

Currently, the Star Glory Empire's main combat targets were still him and the Other-Dimensional Camp.

The price paid to deal with two Mechanical Black Dragons was too high; they wouldn't act rashly.

And at this time, a fire was still needed.

A fire that left the Fallen Titan nowhere to retreat, a fire that allowed the Star Glory Empire to act with a free hand.

This fire could only be lit by him, and must be lit by him.
