Chapter 776: Letting Things Run Their Course

"Died!?"

Stellar Spark, who was tangled with Alfrey, had a stiff expression as he looked at that fragmented Corporeal Form.

The First Forerunner just died like this!?

This was a Member of the organization he had high hopes for. By relying on the composition of his own Gene Chain, he had found an alternative path to becoming a Super Lifeform.

And he just died here like this?

He didn't expect Li Yu's combat power to have already grown to such an extent.

He didn't know the specific details of Silver Shadow and Li Yu's battle, because Silver Shadow was also hiding some secrets.

This made him underestimate some of Li Yu's methods, thinking the First Forerunner could completely block them.

The reason Silver Shadow could block the combined attack of United Strength and the Hawkeye Emblem was because his own Strength intensity was sufficient.

As a result, from a head-on blow, he was directly Instakilled.

While Alfrey was astonished, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief inwardly.

This way, they had regained the advantage.

After finishing off the First Forerunner, Li Yu didn't directly enter their battlefield.

Instead, he first arrived in a relatively calm space, opened a Dimensional Rift, and then let the Transformation Legion come to support.

The composition of his current Strength was mainly his main body, Titan Artifacts, and various Amplification methods.

His head-on combat power still had a gap compared to a Super Lifeform.

As the duration of Bloodsoaked War continued, this gap would gradually narrow and be smoothed out.

As for United Strength, it was just a Burst Technique, and couldn't be used a second time within a short period.

The fusion with Transformers brought by the Eternal Core was a relatively important Strength component.

After all, Silver Shadow and Stellar Spark on the field weren't Half-baked like the First Forerunner.

Stellar Spark's expression was gloomy. A voice was howling crazily in his mind.

"The First Forerunner is dead, the organization's future Super Lifeform died here, kill them! Kill them!"

This wasn't his innermost thought, yet it had a tendency to influence him.

"Prepare to evacuate..." He secretly contacted Silver Shadow. The First Forerunner's death didn't make him lose his rationality and want to risk his life.

Instead, he wanted to retreat. Li Yu represented the Other-Dimensional Camp, and the other party's power hadn't been fully displayed yet.

Continuing to hold on here also had no meaning; it was better to retreat as soon as possible.

Silver Shadow also had this thought. This battle was truly an Undeserved misfortune for him, and he had long wanted to retreat.

The desire to retreat influenced their combat style, allowing Alfrey to quickly notice it.

"They want to leave!" He said coldly, and simultaneously contacted Li Yu: "What are you doing, hurry and intercept them?"

"I'm accumulating power, you guys wait a moment first..." Li Yu answered honestly.

Accumulating power?

Is this the time to accumulate power!?

Alfrey was Speechless. Silver Shadow repelled the Golden Armored One temporarily relying on the mimicked Throne of Ruin.

Stellar Spark relied on the special nature of his main body to forcefully endure Alfrey's painless attacks. The Energy Torrent landed on him, almost unable to leave any traces.

Even the various high-risk energies created by Alfrey using the Mirror of Omniscience were completely useless.

Space was torn apart, and the two were like Flowing Light, fleeing towards Deep in the Universe.

The Golden Armored One wanted to give chase, but was stopped by Alfrey, shaking his head and saying:

"Chasing after them is useless. Their Strength is slightly stronger than ours. They are probably afraid of subsequent reinforcements. If we give chase, we are probably the ones in danger."

The Golden Armored One snorted coldly and looked to the other side. Seeing the two retreating, Li Yu silently canceled his various Amplification states.

Retreating is fine, it saves having to fight.

He was mainly looking for the Forerunner Headquarters and exploring The Forerunners' purpose.

Although he didn't find the Forerunner Headquarters this time, he learned The Forerunners' purpose.

At least he wouldn't be kept in the dark, not even knowing what the other party was doing.

He had also placed a marker on the stone man for later tracking.

Of course, he could also call people to chase after them now, or make a move when the stone man was alone.

It's just that right now, by himself, he might not be the stone man's opponent.

That guy was a bona fide Super Lifeform, and furthermore, utilizing the Titan Artifact Prototype, his whole body was a Weapon, capable of fighting and retreating.

And if the Star Glory Empire intervened, it would inevitably cause complications.

The other party definitely wouldn't let the Titan Artifact Prototype go. Even though Li Yu didn't have the forging method, he also didn't want to see the Star Glory Empire grow stronger.

The reason he targeted The Forerunners before was partly because he couldn't figure out their background and didn't know what they were doing. If they pulled dirty tricks from behind, it would be very troublesome.

Furthermore, their collusion with an Outside Civilization was a hidden danger, and that Outside Civilization also knew his secret of being a Titan.

But now, after such a bout of turmoil, The Forerunners' vitality was greatly injured, and he once again grasped part of the initiative.

He already knew what The Forerunners were doing, and had given the Pioneer Chief a strong dose of medicine.

Moreover, since the other party wanted to open up the Barren Universe Zone, they probably wouldn't be able to spare a hand in the upcoming period at all.

The Pioneer Chief's whereabouts were also entirely under control. It could be said that the hidden danger from The Forerunners' side had already been more than half resolved.

Under these circumstances, he conversely wasn't anxious to deal with The Forerunners.

If the Star Glory Empire had no other enemies, then who would be their next target?

The answer was self-evident.

How could it work without finding something for this behemoth to do.

As for that Outside Civilization, Li Yu's expression flickered.

The other party's goal was to open up the Barren Universe Zone. They might be from the Creator Civilization, or they might be from other civilizations.

Probably no one wouldn't covet the Titan Artifacts of the Titan Civilization.

"Just what exactly do you guys want to do!" Right while Li Yu was pondering, the Golden Armored One menacingly came before him and shouted:

"The Pioneer Chief was here, and that Outside Civilization was also here. Do you guys from the Other-Dimensional Camp not have the slightest intention of making a move?"

"Calling us After a Long Journey, where are your people!"

Alfrey was indifferent to this, obviously also very dissatisfied.

They rushed over non-stop upon receiving the news.

Li Yu had been doing this analysis and that analysis, looking like victory was in his grasp.

They thought that the Other-Dimensional Camp would surely step in to help in the end no matter what, but the result was just watching helplessly.

"Even if the various Super Lifeforms of the Other-Dimensional Camp truly cannot appear in the Main Universe, they could lend their power to you." Alfrey's tone was calm: "Since that's the case, why didn't you act."

Li Yu's eyes shifted slightly, staring at Alfrey with great interest.

This was another probe.

Although the two sides were currently in a cooperative relationship, the Star Glory Empire still wouldn't give up on trying to figure out their true strength.

This kind of probing didn't mean falling out.

"Coincidentally, the Lords have been busy with some matters recently and couldn't get away." Li Yu randomly spouted an Excuse, all of which was useless information that couldn't confirm anything even from the side.

"Don't think I don't know what you guys are thinking." The Golden Armored One said coldly, his tone unfriendly.

Li Yu glanced at him, not angry, but conversely thinking that a Goofball like this was easier to deal with.

Someone like Alfrey was too troublesome, every sentence hiding a thorn.

He ignored the other party, and instead said: "That Outside Civilization actually colluded with The Forerunners, I'm afraid their plot is not small."

"Since you know, why didn't you intercept them?" Alfrey said faintly.

"Tsk, how could it be that easy of a matter." Li Yu shook his head: "Although it's unclear exactly what they want to do, it's definitely related to their recent large-scale actions. I suggest intensifying the strikes against The Forerunners."

Opening up the Barren Universe Zone didn't have a big impact on Li Yu.

But it also didn't mean he wanted to see the currently relatively safe Interstellar environment destroyed.

Although the Dimensional Ship secured his rear, there was no guarantee Outside Civilizations didn't have a way to lock on.

It's better to wait and develop for a period first, or maybe I should go out and take a look myself first?

Li Yu suddenly had another thought.

The place the First Forerunner was responsible for previously should be the key to opening up the Barren Universe Zone. It seemed they were building something.

If he could obtain the specific method from there, then he could completely go out and take a look first, understand some Outside Civilizations as well as the most critical Creator Civilization, and grasp the initiative in his own hands.

"You don't need to remind us of this..." Alfrey frowned deeply. Not knowing what the other party was doing also made him somewhat Restless with worry.

It seemed that upon returning, he had to make striking The Forerunners' activities the primary goal.

Although Li Yu didn't tell Alfrey about the other party wanting to open up the Barren Universe Zone, with the information the Star Glory Empire currently possessed, they would still spare no effort to strike.

Immediately after, Alfrey looked at Li Yu somewhat suspiciously again. Could this guy know something.

That shouldn't be... if he really knew, he wouldn't have risked himself.

"What were you guys discussing in the Base just now?" he suddenly inquired.

"Nothing, Verbal sparring. They discovered my disguise as soon as they came up. You wouldn't think my mimicry could deceive Super Lifeforms, right," Li Yu spread his hands and said helplessly.

"That's true..." Alfrey couldn't help but shake his head, snuffing out the guess in his heart.

"It's a pity, we didn't find the location of the Forerunner Headquarters." Li Yu sighed mournfully, it was unknown if it was genuine or fake.

"Since this isn't the Forerunner Headquarters either, then it's highly likely they are an organization without a Headquarters." Alfrey glanced at him and said indifferently.

"An organization without a Headquarters?" Li Yu was stunned for a moment, then revealed a thoughtful expression: "There really is this possibility."

Organizations without a Headquarters generally only appeared in small or medium-sized organizations.

Large organizations always had their own secret technologies and core research. The Headquarters was the most important place, and at the same time, it was the place that condensed the cohesion of the organization's Members.

But The Forerunners were different from other organizations. They had always been in a dormant state previously, and setting up a Headquarters seemed to have no meaning for them.

On the contrary, dismembering and dispersing the entire organization was safer.

For the two of them, this was an out-and-out failed operation.

Their moods were obviously poor, and they didn't speak much with Li Yu, quickly beginning their return journey.

Meanwhile, at The Forerunners' secret assembly Base, precious resources collected through various means were all gathered here, and work was proceeding methodically.

However, the blaring alarms resounding throughout the entire construction Base caused the Staff Members inside to reveal panicked expressions.

Defense mechanisms were instantly activated, and a large number of warships and Advanced Lifeforms surged out.

But the suddenly appearing Transformers were like bolts of lightning, releasing dazzling light.

A massive Transformer hoisted mechanical Dual Blades, flashing with blue Electric Arcs, directly cleaving enemies in two.

Its arms were equipped with various energy Weapons, advancing forward. A blast of energy death ray instantly blew up a warship.

The defensive strength The Forerunners invested here was not small. Some A-Tier Lifeforms crisscrossed the battlefield, but they quickly met their enemies.

A flash of silvery-white light instantly cleaved an A-Tier Lifeform in two.

It was the Primordial Vajra First Awakening Heaven. The styling of his head was unique, presenting a simple yet exquisite robotic face, with black mechanical pupils emitting a calm and dignified light.

His entire head was covered with a stiff and smooth metallic shell, exuding a strong mechanical texture, every metallic curve displaying his toughness.

More than one Primal Transformer appeared here, and their appearance also quickly made the battle show a one-sided trend.

Very soon, the Transformation Legion took down this place.

Primordial Foreseer looked down at the construction Base below. Part of the structure had already been destroyed in the battle just now.

The surviving Staff Members lined up neatly under the Transformers' cannon muzzles, walking towards the confinement Cages.

"Following the Primordial Heavenly Venerate Decree—pack up all resources in the entire Base. Destroy what cannot be taken away on the spot."

He issued the command, and the warriors of the Transformation Legion roared in compliance.

Energy Radiance and fiery explosion lights filled this Star Sector for a time. A continuous stream of resources was packed up and taken away by the warriors of the Transformation Legion.

…………

Ever since he knew The Forerunners' purpose, as well as being able to lock onto the Pioneer Chief's coordinates, Li Yu no longer continued to get involved in the Star Glory Empire's various operations targeting The Forerunners.

The First Forerunner died, and The Forerunners' vitality was greatly injured.

And because of their previous resource collection operations, it caused too many of their traces to be exposed. The Star Glory Empire once again grasped the coordinates of a large number of Outlying bases, making it even harder for The Forerunners to move a single inch.

As for Li Yu, he instead quieted down, quite giving off a feeling of Ignoring All Outside Matters.

The Star Glory Empire invited him for joint operations multiple times, but he also found Excuses to decline. No one knew what he was busy with.

And this silence lasted for over two months.
