Chapter 777: Clone Linkage

"Mmm... is this thing missing so many parts..." Li Yu stroked his chin, standing in a Research Lab. Presented before him were several Holographic Screens.

Standing beside him was his Chief Researcher—Peyton.

In his Jade Void Palace, there wasn't a need for too many Researchers. Researching Technology from scratch was too complicated; it was better to directly become a copy monster.

And with the magical abilities of the Reality Stone, basically all needs could be met.

So when necessary, Peyton would also guest-star in other research roles.

"I've integrated the resources you brought back, as well as some resources from the inventory, and barely managed to assemble it like this." Peyton opened his palm, continuously enlarging a relatively complex mechanical model before him.

Its exterior looked like a cylinder, with an oval Metal Ring at each end. The entirety was built from a material called Tungsten Crystal, possessing very good spatial malleability as well as some Quantum Properties.

The yield of Tungsten Crystal was extremely scarce, yet the length of this Instrument reached over five thousand meters, and its diameter was a full hundred meters.

Not to mention the various other materials needed Inside.

Actually, he had tried doing so, but the cost-effectiveness was truly too low.

He wasn't in a hurry to build this thing either, but extracting the power of the Tree of Life would severely delay its growth progress.

"Building it is only the first step. According to the blueprints you collected, this thing named the Two-Way Link Device still needs activation components."

"Information Core, Quantum Energy Crystal, and a series of other materials. Some materials I haven't even heard of." Peyton shook his head.

"These materials aren't a big problem..." Li Yu didn't mind. Basic raw materials could be collected over time, so he thought manufacturing them with the Reality Stone wasn't cost-effective.

But these core materials could completely be manufactured with the Reality Stone. After all, materials that even Peyton hadn't heard of might not be found even if they spent time looking for them.

In this kind of situation, utilizing the Reality Stone to manufacture them would have a much higher cost-effectiveness. This was basically what he did now.

"After completing the above steps, there is another difficulty." Before finishing his words, Peyton said: "Since it is named a Two-Way Link, then ours must only be one of them."

"To truly open the connection passage, I'm afraid another Instrument needs to be activated simultaneously."

Hearing this, Li Yu frowned slightly. The previous material issues were easier to handle, but this problem was relatively troublesome.

Outside the Barren Universe Zone, who was there to cooperate with.

"The steps are quite troublesome..." he muttered inwardly to himself.

But thinking about it, it made sense. The danger level of the Barren Universe Zone was beyond doubt.

Moreover, its unique characteristics were equivalent to cutting off all connections between the inside and outside.

In other words, even the Void Realm Titan's Dimensional Ship couldn't cross the Barren Universe Zone by opening a Dimensional Rift.

Wanting to travel freely, the price paid naturally wouldn't be ordinary.

"Just continue building it for now, there's no rush for this matter either." After pondering for a moment, Li Yu said.

Peyton nodded, and after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but say: "The other party spent such a huge price to send that guy in. Besides their plot not being small, there is probably some sort of necessity."

Peyton didn't have much interest in normal matters, but something like crossing the Barren Universe Zone was still worth his attention.

The existence of the Barren Universe Zone wasn't a matter of one or two days. People must have tried it before, and inevitably ended in failure.

The threshold for truly wanting to cross the Barren Universe Zone was too high; the starting point was a Super Lifeform.

Even if Outside Civilizations were very powerful, they couldn't possibly use Super Lifeforms as Cannon Fodder.

Sparing no expense this time, Outside Civilizations must have had some new changes occur.

Leading certain civilizations to have to take desperate risks.

The contention between civilizations allowed for not the slightest error.

According to some clues Li Yu obtained, Outside Civilizations were unlike this Starry Sky, which had some Interstellar Alliance maintaining peace on the surface.

The wars between them were probably even more cruel.

"Mm..." Li Yu's eyes revealed a thoughtful look, but these matters were temporarily still quite far from him.

Taking precautions was fine, but there was no need for Groundless worries.

He treated building the Two-Way Link Device as a long-term strategic goal.

Li Yu didn't plan to let his people collect various materials on a large scale like The Forerunners did.

Otherwise, no matter how foolish the Star Glory Empire was, they could see the clues. If they discovered the matter of the Two-Way Link Device, they would definitely go crazy.

Faced with a Matter of Survival, the Star Glory Empire wouldn't take a single step back, and would inevitably fight to the end.

He still didn't want to force the Star Glory Empire to that extent.

After handling matters here, Li Yu glanced at the System Log, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

"They actually met up, it really seems to be the same world..."

[...Number Three successfully met Number Two. Number Two expressed shock at Number Three's arrival; he didn't expect to see another himself in the same world...]

[...Number Three explained the reasons to him. Number Two couldn't help but sigh that the main body truly was a black-hearted boss, sending both of them to the same world...]

Seeing this, Li Yu's head was full of black lines. This couldn't be blamed on him; who told the System to search for the DC World again.

After another two months passed, Number Three, who had been on cooldown, could finally be deployed. Meanwhile, One, who had brought him the Covenant of Primus, was still sleeping.

And this time when searching for a world, Li Yu actually saw the DC World again.

He originally thought the System had a built-in screening mechanism, where worlds that already had an Avatar present wouldn't appear again.

As a result, the appearance of the DC World shattered this guess of his.

However, he didn't care too much about this matter either, and directly edited the task [Acquire the Life Equation] and threw it to Number Three.

Perfectly timed, finding the Life Equation wasn't a simple task either; maybe the two could help each other out.

He didn't expect that these two Crazy Bastards would start complaining the moment they met.

He had always known that these Avatars knew of his existence, and he wasn't shocked about this.

It's just, what do you mean by black-hearted boss?

MD, when each of you are acting like big shots and picking up beauties in other worlds, why don't you think about the black-hearted boss then.

[...Number Two introduced Number Three to the Justice Alliance, calling him his twin Younger Brother, drawing Number Three's dissatisfaction...]

[...Everyone in the Justice Alliance seemed somewhat dumbfounded...]

Due to the previous Steppenwolf invasion incident, Number Two fought side-by-side with the Justice Alliance, and his relationship with the Justice Alliance was now considered pretty good.

The Avatars successfully met up, but no results could be seen for the time being. The only thing visible was Number Two, acting as the "host," Pimping for Number Three.

However, Number Three sneered at this, because due to arriving in this world first, a portion of the more outstanding female characters had already played poker with Number Two.

Even including Wonder Woman. So Number Three completely distrusted Number Two, unless Number Two produced evidence that he hadn't slept with them.

This kind of distrust also made Number Two fly into a rage out of humiliation. The two Came to Blows over this, causing widespread destruction in space and alarming the Justice Alliance. It wasn't until they learned the reason for the fight that they cursed and left.

NMD, here we go again.

Li Yu was Speechless. If this continued, When Pigs Fly would he be able to obtain the Life Equation.

However, the outrageous thing was, he actually received a reward—

[Obtained Special Item—Clone Linkage: In the magical Multiverse, very few people can see another themselves.

Summon all Avatars, possessing all the abilities of the main body, to assist in combat. Duration—30 minutes.]

When he saw this reward, Li Yu was quite surprised inwardly.

You can even obtain rewards from yourself?

After pondering carefully for a moment, this Clone Linkage was actually quite interesting.

If he could wait until Li Yu became a Super Lifeform, then he could directly summon three Super Lifeforms; that would be very powerful.

However... his eyes flickered. He didn't know if this thing could link with other items, such as the Dark Lord. Four guys possessing the power of Darkseid, tsk tsk...

And the key to achieving this point was whether the judgment for Clone Linkage used the regular Li Yu as a reference, or the Li Yu at the moment of summoning as a reference.

He wasn't sure about this point, and this kind of consumable item couldn't be tested even more, so he could only know when he truly used it.

And during this period, Number Two hadn't continued to bring more valuable rewards.

Recently, the DC universe was peaceful, and it would still take a while for Darkseid to Make a comeback; all the fleece that could be plucked had been plucked.

Those minor Villains at most gave something like [Underworld Tycoon], which was a reward to summon underworld thugs, or [Cold Tracking] and similar locating gadgets.

It couldn't be said to be useless, it could only be said to be better than nothing.

"Another bottle of that Ninth-Tier Life Leap Potion has been manufactured, you can go fetch it..." Peyton suddenly reminded.

"So fast, the efficiency of Siegel and the others is really quite high." Li Yu was slightly stunned, then praised.

The Ninth-Tier Life Leap Potion had already become Li Yu's main method for advancing his Gene Chain Development Progress.

However, the various materials it required were also very astonishing. The Star Glory Empire had completed the substitution of materials.

But they wouldn't continue helping him manufacture it, so he had Siegel, this legendary Assassin, lead his Sith and Jedi Squads to specialize in collecting related materials.

For materials that were too precious, he used the Reality Stone to manufacture them.

He estimated that after drinking that tube of Ninth-Tier Life Leap Potion and completely digesting it, his Gene Chain Development Progress should be able to reach 40%, approaching 45%.

"With you using it at such high intensity, I'm afraid it will generate Drug Resistance. I suggest waiting until the Gene Chain Progress is pushed to the late stages before using it," Peyton reminded.

"No need, you forgot, I don't have this kind of trouble," Li Yu shook his head and said.

[Ignore Drug Resistance: Injecting strengthening drugs all year round, why hasn't the effect been weakened? Naturally, because no Drug Resistance is generated.

Your body will no longer easily generate Drug Resistance.]

This was a special physique from Bane, obtained quite a long time ago.

Peyton was stunned for a moment. He indeed remembered that when Li Yu's life level was relatively low, he had used Gene Development Potions on a large scale without generating Drug Resistance.

But he didn't expect that this ability could actually work on the Ninth-Tier Life Leap Potion.

However, it was best not to delve deeply into the things that happened to Li Yu; he had a profound realization of this point.

Right at this moment, The Hunter walked in with a face full of bad luck. Seeing the two chatting leisurely, he immediately said in dissatisfaction:

"You sure are enjoying the leisure. That woman Aenius is about to tear me apart."

Li Yu avoided the Star Glory Empire and didn't meet them, but also didn't want to completely fall out with them; which was what is commonly known as keeping them on the hook.

He simply let The Hunter step up, responsible for negotiating with the Star Glory Empire.

This move was actually quite disgusting. The Hunter's Identity used to be a Captain of the Star Glory Empire, only later being exiled.

Now, changing his face and becoming high and mighty indeed disgusted the Star Glory Empire for a month or two, so they didn't come to bother Li Yu.

But later, after Aenius took over, she didn't care so much, scaring The Hunter quite a bit.

"Dealing with such a great beauty, how many people would beg for it but can't get it," Li Yu teased.

"Please don't..." The Hunter looked like he had eaten a fly: "She's too proud. If she could look me straight in the eye even once, I'd admit defeat."

"When are you just going to take her down, save her threatening me all day."

"Tsk, what kind of talk is this? Is this something I can do with just one sentence?" Li Yu glanced at him.

"Aren't you known as the Princess Collector? There's Mo Duo, the Mermaid, and Klein. One more Aenius isn't too many..." The Hunter had a "stop pretending" expression.

"How could you sully my innocence, the Mermaid Princess has nothing to do with me..." Li Yu said displeased.

The Hunter sneered: "Heh, half a month ago, wasn't someone photographed appearing Backstage at the Mermaid Princess's concert? Don't tell me that wasn't you."

"I heard the Voice of the Starry Universe spent a huge sum to buy out this news."

"I also heard that Klein banned the Mermaid Princess from appearing on screen and put her on a blacklist."

"If it was bought out, how do you know about it?" Li Yu was somewhat Speechless, too lazy to explain to The Hunter; A Man of Integrity Acts Honorably.

The Hunter had the expression of looking at a scumbag. He had been dealing with the High Echelon of the Star Glory Empire recently.

This kind of Gossip wasn't some confidential information either. He didn't have the channels to obtain it, but the Star Glory Empire did.

Li Yu went to collect the Ninth-Tier Life Leap Potion, preparing to continue quietly developing his Gene Chain.

He thought these leisurely days would last for a period of time.

But several days later, a distress message from Mo Duo made Li Yu's expression turn solemn.
