Chapter 730: Eternal Mechanical Construct Fusion Core!

~13 min read 2,415 words

Codri's expression was indifferent as he watched the war unfold before him. Even as his subordinates and fleets fell in batches, it was hard to cause any ripples in his emotions.

He didn't lead a large-scale fleet to attack the Star Glory Empire; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to get close to the Capital Star System of the Star Glory Empire at all.

They would have been discovered and intercepted halfway.

So he only brought a portion of the Elite Fleet, stealthily bypassing the Internal Defense Line of the Star Glory Empire, intending to execute a blitzkrieg.

He didn't hold much hope for this attack. From Li Yu's tone, he could deduce that this was more like teaching the Star Glory Empire a lesson rather than truly wanting to achieve any battle results.

It was just that he was the Pawn in this, and there was nothing he could do about it. From the moment he took over the Eternal Titan, he became a Pawn in Li Yu's hands.

However, he had his own considerations. He was almost driven crazy by that feeling of being spied on from who knows where.

An Advanced Lifeform's senses are like a Radar, or perhaps a certain organ, extremely acute to external stimuli.

The slightest provocation would elicit a reaction. And right now, it felt like someone was provoking him constantly, and he couldn't stand it!

What the other party was interested in was the origin of the Eternal Titan.

But even so, he didn't expose Li Yu.

Not because he was so loyal, but because the only value of his existence was being the "mastermind" behind the scenes.

If the source of that spying knew the real person behind the scenes, he didn't know what his outcome would be.

So, he could only endure it like this. If he had known earlier, it would have been better not to take this big toy.

Unless he could throw away this huge trouble that was the Eternal Titan.

But Li Yu obviously wouldn't agree to him doing that, and this attack on the Star Glory Empire was an excellent opportunity.

"Activate the Super Death Ray Condensation Beam!" The temporary commander-in-chief of operations, Loyd, had an equally cold look in his eyes.

Outside the Defense Perimeter of the Star Glory Empire's Capital, a giant Spatial Rift tore open, and a massive silver-white cannon barrel extended out.

The enormous energy extracted from the Dimensional space was temporarily constrained together through a complex focusing device.

The power of this constraint device was so formidable that it could almost condense the space spanning several star systems into crystals with a single irradiation.

Therefore, it was installed in Deep-Level Space, but due to its overwhelming power, even with space acting as a safety barrier, there would still be slight leaks.

As a result, a series of bizarre spatial phenomena were appearing in the surroundings.

Pale Blue Light Bands appeared out of thin air and rapidly vanished.

Peculiar Matter that looked like crystal clusters grew from The Void, and then disintegrated within seconds under the white light irradiation.

The distant Starlight also distorted when passing through certain spatial areas, as if an invisible lens had appeared there.

This was caused by the powerful energy radiation leaking from the connection points of the Energy Output Device. Even this tiny bit of radiation was enough to rewrite the cosmic environment in a small area.

Boom!

The terrifying death ray condensation device swept across the battlefield. Wherever it passed, everything was condensed and fixed in place.

The battlefield seemed to have been paused, and the elite warships of the Salvation Ark were enveloped within it.

But the next moment, an enormous figure appeared on the battlefield, forcefully blocking this attack. The energy readings of the nearby warships subsequently soared.

"Titan!?" Loyd instantly recognized this giant Lifeform, and at the same time, he realized the origin of the attackers.

"It's the Salvation Ark, have they gone crazy? Why are they attacking us?"

A series of questions popped up in his mind, and his expression turned solemn.

He had also heard of this Titan, which was said to possess Super Life Form Combat Power.

The Defense System of the Capital Star System was definitely comprehensive, but the scale of the enemy's attack was small and elite, clearly intending a Focused Attack on a Broad Front.

If a Super Lifeform was used as the vanguard, it wasn't impossible to achieve.

If the Defense System was breached, it would be troublesome.

Loyd's first thought was to request advanced combat power.

Although the enemy had a Super Lifeform, he wasn't afraid. This was the capital of the Star Glory Empire.

With the assistance of the outer Defense Perimeter, any Noble commander paired with a Titan Artifact could easily block it.

His request quickly received a response, and it was a personal response from The Emperor—

"All advanced combat powers are not here. The Titan Artifacts have been taken away."

What!?

Loyd's pupils constricted. The advanced combat powers are not here? The Titan Artifacts also left with them?

What did they go to do?

A doubt subsequently surfaced, and then Li Yu's figure suddenly popped out in his mind.

They went to deal with Li Yu!

Immediately, he reacted even more. This surprise attack was premeditated by the other party, clearly knowing the situation of the Empire's central void.

But how did the other party know about a top-secret operation that even he didn't know about?

"Younger Brother, you seem very nervous..." A serene voice came.

Loyd's expression fluctuated. He didn't even need to turn his head to know who the other party was.

Aenius—the first Descendant of the contemporary Emperor.

Although she was female, she was highly ambitious, powerful in Strength, and possessed an unpredictable personality.

"With a Super Lifeform right in front, it's inevitable to be nervous..." Loyd shook his head, keeping his eyes fixed on the battle situation.

"Where is Father..." he asked.

"Just an unconscious Super Lifeform, there's no need for Father to take action." Aenius chuckled lightly and shook her head, having already arrived beside Loyd.

A rose twirled out from her black dress. She raised her exquisite face with a hint of malicious amusement and said: "Authorization code: *, activate the Withered Flower, terminal linked to me."

"Authorization passed. Yes, Your Royal Highness Aenius!"

A pitch-black bead surfaced in front of her. Then, countless tiny cracks split open on its surface, and black threads linked onto her body.

Subsequently, an indescribable but extremely unsettling and oppressive "Aura" instantly spread throughout the entire room, with her at the center.

"Withered... Flower!"

Powerful energy permeated from Aenius's body, even causing the space around her to distort and blur.

Dim lightnings seemed to dance in her eyes. The stars in the pitch-black space reflected crimson shadows in those bizarre eyes, quickly turning into a large expanse of murky crimson color—

Aenius closed her eyes, and opened them just a few seconds later. Loyd saw that the whites of her eyes had disappeared.

There was only a patch of crimson in her eyes.

This was the first time Loyd saw Aenius release such a powerful oppressive force.

In the outer Void, a giant Crimson Flower gradually bloomed, taking root in the Void. Everything around it was rapidly decaying.

The silver-white, smooth metallic ship hulls instantly turned into yellowish-brown rusted iron.

"The battle has begun..." Her voice became ethereal and elegant.

……………

The deepest space, referred to by Li Yu as "Time Slices".

The Mechanical Black Dragon and the Eternal Fleet had all vanished. Only that massive Mechanical Crate surfaced here.

Both Mechanical Black Dragons were entangled; no one was stopping him from approaching anymore.

The next moment, he directly appeared near the Mechanical Crate, took out the previously obtained Mechanical Heart, and fiercely pressed it onto the crate.

Immediately, this Mechanical Heart seemed to come alive, beginning to extend Mechanical Strands that wrapped around the Mechanical Crate layer by layer.

As if it was a special verification method, a massive Data Stream washed over the Mechanical Crate.

Very quickly, a gap opened on the Mechanical Crate, and a faint glimmer shone out from within.

Looming faintly, Li Yu seemed to smell a scent similar to freshly manufactured mechanical metal.

A hint of anticipation surfaced in his eyes. In the possibilities he had predicted, basically all scenes stopped here.

He was unclear about what exactly was inside.

If it wasn't some powerful item, given the current situation, he might be forced to [Restart]. With six Super Lifeforms present, he didn't think he had the possibility of escaping.

Right at this moment, a powerful Aura was approaching. It was the Fallen Titan; he had also stepped into this space.

Seeing Li Yu's actions, he couldn't help but shout: "It really is you who got the Mechanical Heart!"

Although he had already guessed this outcome, he was still very puzzled. The information about the Mechanical Heart should only be known to him alone.

This was because he had accidentally learned of it back then, which was already at the end of the Titan Civilization, with basically no clear written records left.

How did this guy know about it?

It was just that he had no time to ponder over this question now.

What he needed to do now was stop Li Yu!

With a slight shift in his mind, his eyes were suddenly filled with Grey-Black Mist, like ink mixing into water, instantly covering his eyes.

At the same time, Li Yu instantly felt an icy and Withered sensation, as if the Universe had reached its end and all things withered to this point.

Flowing gray particles formed a boundless traversal passage before Li Yu's eyes, extending infinitely with only a gray dot at the end.

Time and space were stretched into an infinitely long line in his senses. He didn't know how much distance he had crossed, nor how much time had passed, but it also felt like only an instant had gone by.

Countless bizarre and grotesque scenes flashed past outside the passage. Li Yu's body felt light and airy, as if turning into a wisp of smoke.

For a moment, he couldn't perceive the existence of his body. All the senses used to detect the world were scrambled into a mess.

But the next moment, all perception returned to normal, and his vision suddenly changed.

Endless Black Mist permeated here, with red Electric Arcs occasionally flashing within.

Like storm cumulonimbus clouds brewing lightning, or the lava smoke clouds of a volcanic eruption, it was a doomsday-like scene.

Among them was a bobbing island. Two gray chains wrapped around it, forming a spiral-like pattern, connecting to a black crystal-like platform suspended in the air.

On top of it, a gray vertical pupil suddenly opened its eye, seemingly looking at Li Yu.

In an instant, his senses were pulled away. He felt as if he was swatted away by an invisible massive force. Li Yu suddenly woke up again, and then he found that his body had almost fallen into a Withered state, his Vitality near extinction.

"Annihilation Device..." Four words popped up in his mind.

Li Yu's Strength was not weak. With the Thunder Battle Armor in hand, he didn't have this problem when forcefully taking a strike from the Golden Armored One earlier.

Therefore, the Fallen Titan's attack was an absolute killing blow.

Subsequently, the ink color in his pupils rapidly dissipated, and he coughed up a large mouthful of grayish-black blood. Obviously, using this kind of power was also an immense burden for himself.

And right at this time, the Golden Armored One arrived riding the Throne of Ruin, forcing the Fallen Titan to divide his attention to deal with him.

However, the surging recovery of Vitality from the other side attracted the Fallen Titan's attention.

"How could this be?" He was somewhat in disbelief, watching helplessly as Li Yu, whose Vitality was nearly extinct, recovered to his peak again!

That was the power of the Annihilation Device! Although due to his own needs, he had left the other party with a breath of life.

But even using the Tree of Life, it was impossible to repair oneself so quickly.

And at the same time, accompanying the recovery of his body, his hand had already reached into the Mechanical Crate, pulling out a glowing blue mechanical sphere from within.

A sphere?

Li Yu looked at the mechanical sphere in front of him. Its surface was smooth with almost no seams, flashing with radiance like it was breathing.

"So it's this..." The Fallen Titan's Mind in Disarray. Li Yu's resistance to the Annihilation Device was hard for him to understand, but he still recognized the object in front of him—

The Eternal Mechanical Construct Fusion Core!

"Energy missing... Energy missing..."

This sphere let out a chirping sound. Li Yu's eyes flickered. He certainly had no time now to put this thing into the [Symbiotic Colonization Armor] and then throw it into the System Space.

"Energy, right? I have plenty of energy. I want to see exactly what kind of thing you are." Without hesitation, Li Yu took out the [Cosmic Cube] and stuffed it directly into this sphere.

Azure Electric Arcs surged. The mechanical sphere extended mechanical pipes, inserted them into the [Cosmic Cube], and began to frantically Absorb energy.

The Fallen Titan and the Golden Armored One kept each other in check; neither dared to act rashly. Meanwhile, the two Mechanical Black Dragons outside seemed to be summoned by something, directly abandoning their enemies and starting to return.

Cyril and Alfrey didn't stop them either, but followed closely behind. They also wanted to know what exactly had happened in this Deep-Level Space.

The two Mechanical Black Dragons roared as they returned, crisscrossing each other, and directly crashed into this mechanical sphere. Dazzling light flashed, and massive amounts of Metal Parts began to flip and assemble, forming a new mechanical structure.

Li Yu was close at hand, watching all this happen right before his eyes.

At the same time, a large number of Eternal Battleships also began to return. The mechanical sphere extended Energy Tentacles, integrating them into its body, while simultaneously growing larger and larger.

The very moment Alfrey and Cyril entered here, the surface light waves exploded, sweeping past everyone, and an enormous mechanical construct appeared before their eyes!

The Eternal Mechanical Fusion Construct has descended!
