Chapter 774: The Forerunners' Leader is Going Crazy!

"Leader, you've returned..." The First Forerunner's expression was calm as he spoke to the Holographic Screen, as steady as ever.

"Mm." Stellar Spark didn't show any abnormality on the surface, and inquired: "During the time I was away, did any abnormalities occur in the organization?"

"No." The First Forerunner seemed somewhat puzzled: "According to your plan, I am steadily collecting materials."

"Although the Star Glory Empire's counterattack is decisive, it is generally still within a controllable range."

"By the way, the Third Forerunner escaped from the Star Glory Empire. I have already sent you the specific information, didn't you see it?"

"He escaped!?" Stellar Spark's tone paused slightly, then he said in a deep voice: "Didn't I explicitly say that he was bait released, and not to receive him?"

After coming out from the Barren Universe Zone, he had been hastily dealing with matters regarding his main body; how would he have cared about the messages on his Smart Terminal.

"Yes." The First Forerunner nodded, and added: "But he escaped on his own. We didn't receive him."

"He escaped from the Star Glory Empire on his own? Do you believe this?" Stellar Spark coldly reprimanded: "It's impossible for Li Yu to let him leave easily, and neither would the Star Glory Empire."

MD, so it was you brat who sent the enemy to our lair.

He believed that everything that happened to his main body was related to the Third Forerunner.

He suppressed his anger and asked: "Are you sure he doesn't have any other means on him? What if my location is remotely locked onto?"

"I've confirmed with the Second Forerunner, there are no means in this regard." The First Forerunner shook his head: "The black coffin is enough to seal his abilities, turning him into a normal person, unable to escape."

"Then couldn't you wait until I returned before sending him over?"

"Is there a difference?" The First Forerunner frowned slightly: "Leader, what happened? You seem extremely dissatisfied with this matter."

Extremely dissatisfied? I want to kill you!

Stellar Spark's pupils were covered in bloodshot lines, but he suddenly calmed down again. No, that feeling was coming back!

I am a person who doesn't show his emotions!

He calmed his emotions and explained: "My main body suffered damage, don't know the reason."

"What?" The First Forerunner was incredibly stunned, and instantly thought it was because of the Third Forerunner.

That shouldn't be. The Third Forerunner couldn't possibly play any tricks while inside the black coffin.

"I'll head over right now..." He said in a deep voice: "Wait until I arrive before investigating what exactly happened."

"That is my intention as well. I will also have Silver Shadow go, to ensure no accidents occur." Stellar Spark nodded.

After hanging up the communication, the First Forerunner's expression flickered. He summoned the Seventh Forerunner over and ordered: "Follow me to a place."

………

"Why is the Aura gone again?"

The three Looked at Each Other in Dismay, looking at the giant Base not far away.

"The three of us, could we still be afraid of him alone?" The Golden Armored One said coldly: "Directly bring it back. Even if some accident happens on the way, we can handle it."

"And then?" Li Yu asked.

"And then..." The Golden Armored One looked at him coldly.

Li Yu continued: "It's a Titan Artifact Prototype. How do you plan to treat it? If it never wakes up, are you going to enshrine it like an ancestor?"

The Golden Armored One snorted coldly: "Then what do you say we should do?"

"Ahem... we have a complete set of handling methods. I believe we can figure out what exactly happened." Li Yu said without his face turning red or losing his breath.

Alfrey: "......"

Golden Armored One: "......"

So in our hands it's an ancestor, but in your hands it isn't?

"Just joking, why did your expressions change..." When Li Yu first knew this thing was a Titan Artifact Prototype, he really regretted not putting it away.

But thinking carefully, even if he put it away, where would he put it? The Jade Void Palace?

Worrying that one day when he wasn't around this thing would suddenly wake up, wouldn't that be disastrous.

Moreover, this thing could also be considered a lifeform. It couldn't be embedded into the Symbiotic Colonization Armor, and couldn't be used either.

Unable to handle this hidden danger, this thing was Tasteless To Eat, Pity To Discard for him.

However, even so, he definitely didn't want the Star Glory Empire to obtain it.

"This thing is definitely related to the secrets of The Forerunners, and can't be handled In a short while. Let's act according to the original plan first," Li Yu said.

The reason he called for people was also to prevent himself from encountering troubles he couldn't solve.

Not purely to deal with this stone man.

Alfrey hesitated for a moment. The Star Glory Empire couldn't extract Source Matter; this was the major obstacle preventing them from forging Weapons at the Titan Artifact level.

But the thing before them had already integrated Source Matter, it was the best embryo.

It was just that this thing had turned into a lifeform, making it a hidden danger.

If the forged Titan Artifact became someone else's wedding dress, they definitely couldn't accept it.

Moreover, this ownership issue was also a problem.

The Other-Dimensional Camp definitely wouldn't easily give this thing up. Rather than having a dispute now, it was better to act according to the original plan and wipe out The Forerunners step by step first.

Getting rid of this threat, it wouldn't be too late to have conflicts with the Other-Dimensional Camp afterwards.

After pondering for a moment, he nodded and said: "If that's the case, then let's go with your plan."

"Are you sure there won't be any problems?"

"Not sure, that's why I called you guys over," Li Yu said matter-of-factly.

He had predicted the future, but unfortunately, since Super Lifeforms were involved now, it was very difficult to predict useful information.

Unless he used items granted by the System to ignore the characteristic of Super Lifeforms "jumping outside the Three Realms".

The Golden Armored One glanced at him, finding him displeasing to the eye no matter how he looked, but was also helpless.

……………

In the following few days, the humanoid stone occasionally woke up, erupting with Auras that made one Apprehensive.

But apart from that, there were no other actions. It was as if waking up was just to see if any other changes had occurred in the environment.

If there were changes, he would probably flee without hesitation.

And based on its erupted Aura, Alfrey deduced that this humanoid stone's combat power couldn't be underestimated.

Super Lifeforms didn't have very clear Strength divisions, and couldn't be quantified with Energy Levels.

It could also be that this Starry Sky hadn't developed to that extent yet. Super Lifeforms were extremely rare, so how could there be quantitative data.

But they could also feel that the stone man's combat power should be slightly stronger than theirs.

But not by much. The other party's main body was a Titan Artifact Prototype, but they also possessed Titan Artifacts.

If they really fought, who would win and who would lose was still up in the air.

And several days later, the situation finally had a new change.

The stone man walked out from the central room and went straight to the room where the black coffin was kept.

He stared at the black coffin before him, a hint of ruthlessness flowing in his eyes. He raised his hand, the Chains shattered, and the coffin lid opened.

The Third Forerunner, who looked bewildered, slowly sat up from within.

He looked at the stone man, and didn't speak immediately, to avoid calling him the wrong name.

"It really is you..." Stellar Spark frowned slightly. He originally also guessed whether this Third Forerunner was someone else in disguise.

Although the First Forerunner said he had verified it, not confirming it personally always left a bit of suspicion.

But now this suspicion had vanished. The other party was obviously the Third Forerunner.

"What did you say?" Li Yu adopted an inquiry method that wasn't prone to mistakes.

"Interesting..." Another voice sounded from behind the other party.

Immediately after, Silver Shadow walked out from behind Stellar Spark?

Li Yu's mind shook violently.

It was this guy. When did he come over? Alfrey and the others hadn't noticed at all.

No wonder this stone man only walked out of that room today, it turned out someone arrived.

"Didn't you have all sorts of guesses about him before? Why is it that after just one glance, you directly confirmed his Identity?" Silver Shadow was quite curious.

"Do you guys have some special way of recognizing each other?"

He wasn't doubting the Third Forerunner's Identity; it didn't hold any meaning for him.

He was just rather curious about Stellar Spark's attitude change before and after.

Would you die if you didn't speak?

Li Yu glanced at him. This kind of reminder was very likely to make the other party jump out of the field of vision similar to a "cognitive Curse".

"May I ask who you are?" he inquired.

He could be sure that the Third Forerunner didn't know this guy's information, so this kind of inquiry was absolutely fine.

"No need to recognize him, he is the Third Forerunner. This point is beyond doubt." Stellar Spark shook his head, saying matter-of-factly.

"Tsk..." Silver Shadow shook his head in disappointment: "I thought there was some special recognition method."

Stellar Spark frowned: "No need to recognize, he is just..."

Halfway through his words, it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind. Why no need to recognize?

Of course no need to recognize, he is the Third Forerunner...

But why no need?

Of course no need...

The two cognitions fought in his mind, making him feel an indescribable awkwardness.

He could be certain that the guy before him was the Third Forerunner, but as to why he could be certain, he couldn't put it into words.

"There's a problem with you!" Stellar Spark squeezed these words out from his throat, his gaze chilling.

"Kill him, kill him, if there's a problem, then kill him!" The voice in his mind sounded crazily.

This made him even more awkward, as if several voices were speaking in his mind.

He almost couldn't distinguish which voice was his own thought.

This kind of feeling shouldn't appear at the Super Lifeform tier. The only explanation was that something major went wrong with his body.

"He isn't going crazy, is he..."

Li Yu looked at Stellar Spark's hideous and terrifying face, criticizing inwardly.

"Leader, what's wrong with you?" Another voice sounded. The First Forerunner had arrived here at some point as well.

His address made Li Yu's eyes shift slightly. This guy really was The Forerunners' Leader.

"Hmph, you really have a problem!"

That eight-year-old little brat also jumped out.

Why did he come too?

The First Forerunner coming here didn't surprise him, but this little brat following along gave him a sense of incongruity.

Why did this place become a hodgepodge?

"I'm fine..." The stone man finally restored his calm. Staring closely at the Third Forerunner, he said: "I don't know if there's a problem with you, or if there's a problem with me."

"But at least one must be eliminated first, so you can only go die."

Eliminate means eliminating me? Why not eliminate yourself?

The corners of Li Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and he feigned horror saying: "Leader, are you going to kill me just because of this person's one sentence?"

"I've made great contributions to the organization, while what does he count for."

Silver Shadow watched this scene with great interest. He didn't expect that being invited here, he could actually see such a good show. He folded his arms, saying leisurely:

"A qualified Secret Organization Member should just die when told to. When your Leader decides to let you die, what you should do is end yourself, not ask questions in return."

"You were the one who made the organization frequently collect various resources recently, which led to the organization suffering heavy losses, right? Just who are you?"

Li Yu shouted. This was a reasonable deduction, but his current behavior had already severely deviated from the Third Forerunner's style of doing things.

Not to mention the stone man, even the First Forerunner frowned as he looked at him.

"Opening up the Barren Universe Zone, is to..." Silver Shadow chuckled softly.

"Enough, you've said too much..." The stone man suddenly interrupted Silver Shadow's next words.

Opening up the Barren Universe Zone?

Their goal was to open up the Barren Universe Zone?

Li Yu's expression changed noticeably. This news was too astonishing.

He knew Silver Shadow's purpose for coming to this Starry Sky was definitely not simple, but he didn't expect him to be playing such a huge game.

Were external civilizations finally unable to hold back anymore?

Silver Shadow looked displeased, relatively dissatisfied with Stellar Spark's attitude.

He just came over as a guest by invitation, only coming out of consideration for their cooperative relationship. Yet Stellar Spark's attitude towards guests was too poor.

"The organization will remember your merits." Stellar Spark ignored Silver Shadow and looked at Li Yu.

He had Conned the other party into coming here. The other party didn't know he might face dangerous situations; at most he just knew he needed to handle a guy who might be a traitor.

If Silver Shadow knew the truth, he definitely wouldn't have come. Their relationship hadn't reached the point of taking a knife for each other.

"Tsk, if the Third Forerunner really knew his loyal organization treated him like this, how sad he would be," Li Yu sighed mournfully.

Stellar Spark's gaze was cold: "You really have a problem!"

Bang bang bang bang bang!

A massive amount of invisible light dots exploded around Li Yu. With them as the center, space began to collapse.

The surrounding space also showed similar signs, the affected area continuously spreading in all directions, as if collapsing into a singularity.

The center of the singularity was exactly Li Yu's main body, about to Devour him alive.
