Chapter 750: Visitor from Outside the Ring

~13 min read 2,452 words

The Starry Universe was brilliantly colored. The magnificent scene was like the beginning of the Universe, the scene of all things being born.

It was also like observing a nebula from a distant distance.

Li Yu retracted the Titan Giant Axe, watching a brand new dimensional world take shape in front of him.

He had already seen such a scene countless times; it was already very difficult to make him have any psychological fluctuations.

"Leave a coordinate here, remember to have someone come over to observe the growth progress," Li Yu ordered.

He himself didn't know what this place was. He just randomly selected a coordinate far away from the Main Civilization Clusters.

Most of the dimensional worlds he opened up were located in such places, and only he knew the coordinates.

After rapid growth, these dimensional worlds would give birth to all sorts of resources.

A cube-shaped box floating beside him emitted Claptrap's voice: "Yes, Master..."

[Special Item——Motherbox: A special tool from Apokolips. Not only is it a small, portable supercomputer with perception abilities, but it also possesses various wondrous powers.]

This thing was quite impressive. It could control Gravity, emotions, as well as a series of abilities like telepathy and matter shaping.

It was very much like an infinitely weakened version of all the Infinity Stones combined, and also had the characteristics of a supercomputer, just right to act as Claptrap's dwelling place.

And not long after returning to the Jade Void Palace, Mo Duo sent a Communication Link.

During this half year, he had people go deep into The Council's territory and found the almost missing Mo Duo.

The Council's territory was relatively special, similar to a demigod Divine Realm. Normal signals fundamentally couldn't penetrate deep, and could only go through signal relays.

Mo Duo previously had completely no ability to contact Li Yu.

The pupils of Mo Duo on the screen had turned black and red, and her entire person emitted an icy cold, keep-away Aura.

However, when facing Li Yu, from the slight changes in her eyes, one could still find some traces of the past.

"Are you sure that God of Death didn't leave any backup plans, like wanting to use your body to resurrect or something?" Li Yu sized up Mo Duo suspiciously.

This wasn't their first conversation in this half year, but every time they talked, he felt Mo Duo had been possessed.

"The Death God's Authority is just like this, I have no way either." Mo Duo said helplessly, simultaneously turning the Camera Lens. The Blazing Eye Race Remnants behind her had also become similar to her.

Wearing Black Armor, carrying exaggeratedly styled giant metallic Scythes on their backs, emitting keep-away Auras from their bodies.

Subsequently, she continued: "The clue for the Firstborn of Thunder you asked me to find has already been found."

"His Divine Race has currently withered away, but there is still one Divine Descendant active, who has quite a high presence in this Divine War."

"It's just that there aren't any clues about the Thunder Battle Armor."

"It's fine as long as you temporarily help me pay attention to it..." Li Yu nodded, instructing: "Try not to invest too much attention into it. I'm probably not the only one who knows this clue."

"It doesn't matter, there are already quite a few people hunting me down now, one more won't make a difference." Mo Duo didn't care at all.

The previous God of Death was different from those other Councilors who were dragged off their divine altars. He was killed off, which was also relatively rare in the history of The Council's Divine Wars.

So he left behind a legacy, part of his Authority and Divine Power.

There had been quite a few Controllers of the Death God's Authority in The Council's history. The upper limit was basically a Councilor, and the lower limit wasn't low either, it was very coveted.

So, the new God of Death, Mo Duo, naturally attracted the covetousness of many parties.

"Do you want me to go over and help?" Li Yu frowned slightly.

"No need for now. I'm afraid your coming over will attract greater firepower, and you yourself will also be in danger." Mo Duo shook her head: "Currently I can still handle it myself."

Li Yu's target was bigger. In The Council's territory, the twelve Chief Gods were equivalent to twelve Super Lifeforms.

If he went in and was discovered, it would be suicide.

Li Yu also knew this reasoning, however, he also had his own confidence.

Over the past half year, Clone Three's harvests naturally weren't just the [Motherbox].

[Special Item——Trinity: Summon the other two Motherboxes to fuse into one, drastically increasing the Motherbox's abilities for a short period of time.]

[Special Ability——Omega Effect: A destructive power originating from Apokolips, which can even erase the Information State of an object's existence.]

[Special Item——Dark Lord: You can temporarily possess the power of Darkseid, the ruler of Apokolips. Duration——30 minutes.]

These were the four most astonishing harvests. From these harvests, it wasn't hard to see.

Clone Three had already experienced a Darkseid invasion event in the DC World.

Every single reward made Li Yu very delighted. The [Omega Effect] not only possessed an extremely powerful destructive power, but also came with Information State attacks.

And only when one reached the step of a Super Lifeform could they have a preliminary defense ability against Information State attacks.

Not to mention the [Dark Lord]. The Flash almost sacrificed himself just to prevent Darkseid from descending, his Strength was unquestionable.

Of course, it was naturally impossible to explain these matters to Mo Duo in detail.

And Mo Duo continued: "Rest assured, when I need your help I definitely won't be polite."

"Also, that guy Xia En has noticed me, and instigated multiple Divine Spirits to hunt me down."

This was new information. Li Yu guessed: "Because of the Death God's Authority?"

"Probably not, he himself is still under the Lady of the Night, even if he got the Death God's Authority it wouldn't be his turn." Mo Duo shook her head.

"Then it might be a personal grudge..." Li Yu was somewhat Speechless, and thought of those photos in the Smart Terminal.

"I also think this is possible. His main battlefield is very far from my active range, it's something Completely Unrelated to begin with."

Mo Duo's eyes changed slightly, seeming to also recall some things that happened back then, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Back then, she, Li Yu, and The Hunter lived in constant fear.

Moreover, the three guarded against each other and didn't trust each other, but it was quite interesting.

Li Yu originally wanted to have the Star Glory Empire warn Xia En not to cause trouble.

But he thought about it, abruptly exposing that he knew this secret would probably cause some unnecessary risks, so he still decided to drop it.

Subsequently, he instructed: "Be careful yourself. This Divine War is unusual, there are multiple factions pushing and wrestling from behind."

"You don't need to be anxious. At the decisive moment, it will very likely require power from outside The Council, and I might also enter the stage."

"That thing I sent you, after wearing it you need to shout 'Sabbac' to transform. The Strength Amplification is pretty good, and there are some special abilities, perhaps it can traverse Divine Realm boundaries."

Verbal concern was too hypocritical. Li Yu had someone send the Evil Crown over not long ago, spending quite a bit of time.

He basically couldn't use that thing right now, just right to give to Mo Duo to use.

"Mm, I know." Mo Duo nodded lightly. Li Yu's concern was enough to give her the motivation to move forward.

The two chatted for a while longer before closing the communication.

He actually wasn't too worried about Mo Duo's side. She had wandered the Interstellar space for many years safe and sound, and quietly took the God of Death's legacy in The Council, she definitely had the ability.

However, since Xia En discovered Mo Duo's Identity, the Star Glory Empire probably also got the news.

A figure closely related to Li Yu appearing in The Council, it was impossible for them not to be curious.

But the other party hadn't come to question him up to now, clearly also afraid he knew Xia En's secret.

Although he and the Star Glory Empire eased the situation and began cooperating, it could never be perfectly intimate.

…………

At the borders of the known Universe. This place was already extremely close to the commonly known "Barren Universe Zone". Normal Citizens would never come into contact with this kind of place in their entire lives.

Yet in this desolate Starry Universe, a fleet was sailing, or rather, wandering around the edge of this Barren Universe Zone.

The danger level of the Barren Universe Zone continuously increased the deeper one went.

At the edge zone, it wasn't that dangerous yet.

In the eyes of those middle and lower tier factions and organizations, beyond the Barren Universe Zone was an unexploited virgin land. As long as someone had the ability to cross the Barren Universe Zone, they could become the Master of a new Interstellar space.

Although this saying was extremely absurd, it was very prevalent in the Interstellar Adventurer circles.

Although the Barren Universe Zone was extremely dangerous, what didn't have risks in the Interstellar Era?

Every year, there were still a massive number of people unafraid of death going deep into the barren zone.

Some people disappeared without a trace. Only occasionally would someone return, but their words would be very chaotic, lacking useful information.

The Spaceship logs were also incredibly chaotic, as if they had crossed multiple coordinates in a short period of time.

This fleet weren't crazy explorers, but scavengers looking for "opportunities" near the Barren Universe Zone.

Because the danger level at the edge of the Barren Universe Zone wasn't high, and the Barren Universe Zone's reputation was well known outside, resulting in extremely few people operating here, it instead became a good place for scavengers.

But there were no supply points here. Unlike the Ancient Starpath, where one could set off with just a dream.

Here, it was almost impossible to survive without a large fleet that could be self-sufficient.

"Boss, the reserve Energy is only at 45%. We are only 5% away from the 40% return-trip Security Perimeter. If we still don't leave, it will be dangerous," the Captain came over to report the overall situation.

Because their harvest this time wasn't ideal, his Boss was unwilling to leave.

Due to the remoteness of the Barren Universe Zone, they had to retain at least 40% Energy to return to a supply point.

Although they brought a massive amount of Energy Crystals, there would always be a time when they ran out.

The guy called Boss sat in the chair, his expression gloomy. His bruised skin and the fangs at the corners of his mouth made him look exceptionally ferocious. He gritted his teeth and said:

"Keep looking... If we go back now, we'll lose big time this trip. We won't even make back the money used to buy those Energy Crystals."

"Beep beep..." Just as the disappointed Captain was preparing to leave, an alarm sounded in the cabin.

The two looked at each other and hurriedly ran to the command cabin.

On the screen, the Radar scanned an area of High-Energy Reaction points.

"Go over, see what it is!" The Boss ordered without hesitation. His pupils were full of bloodshot veins, like a gambler at the gambling table who had lost until only his last chip remained.

This made the Captain, who originally prepared to advise him, also only shut his mouth.

Before long, the fleet arrived in this area. The space here was obviously not too stable, Space-Time Distortion and ripples had already appeared.

The Energy outburst seemed to have stopped. In the center of this area, an unknown object floated.

"Hmm? Detected life fluctuations, it's alive?" The fleet was somewhat surprised: "Could we have run into a returning explorer?"

But the Boss was somewhat disappointed. He originally thought it was Civilization Ruins or something that surfaced due to Space-Time Distortion.

But he also had no choice but to forcefully brace himself and said: "Send someone to pull him back, maybe he still has some value."

Soon, two exploration Flying Vehicles carefully avoided the spatially disordered area and pulled back this guy who still retained life signs.

"Hmm? There's no record of it in the Interstellar Race atlas?" The Boss glanced at the Smart Terminal, somewhat astonished. Was there actually a race that hadn't been entered into the race atlas yet?

Lying on the Instruments was a spherical object. The surface was silver-white, looking very metallic, but feeling very soft to the touch.

"Boss, the surface skin Strength of this guy is frighteningly high. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid it's not something we can handle," the Captain said with a solemn expression.

"I suggest we directly throw it away, and then hurry up and leave here."

"Throw it away?" The Boss's expression was somewhat hesitant. This was an unknown race, appearing here definitely meant there was a secret.

But after thinking it over again and again, he still trusted the Captain he hired at a high price, and nodded with difficulty.

But right at this moment, the lights all around flickered. The Captain's expression abruptly changed, and he stood in front of the Boss.

And the silver sphere lying on the Instruments suddenly floated up.

Under everyone's astonished gazes, it gradually extended limbs and facial features, turning into the appearance of an Interstellar human.

Moreover, it inexplicably looked somewhat familiar. It seemed one could see the shadow of everyone present on this face.

Very obviously, it had temporarily turned into this appearance through mimicry.

He landed on the ground, his eyes gradually changing from dull to lively, speaking words from his mouth that the crowd couldn't understand.

Fire light surged in the Captain's eyes. If the creature in front of him had anything wrong, he would launch an attack without hesitation.

Crack!

In the next second, silver-white sharp spikes directly pierced through everyone present, simultaneously passing through the Main Ship, encompassing the surrounding Spaceships within as well.

Swish!

The sharp spikes instantly retracted, shrinking back into his body. However, everyone who was standing in place previously disappeared, not even leaving behind a corpse.

The silver-white figure's eyes flashed, he grinned, and let out pure Interstellar Common Language:

"Finally passed through the Ring of Chaos huh..."
