Chapter 778: First Arrival at the Council

"The God of War's people are hunting me down. The power they mobilized is too strong, I can no longer handle it."

This wasn't a direct communication, but a left message.

Based on calculations, the time this message was sent should be three days ago.

There wasn't even time to stop and carefully explain The Whole Story to Li Yu, which was enough to prove that Mo Duo's current situation wasn't optimistic.

According to the information in the message, Mo Duo originally wouldn't have faced such a powerful pursuit lineup.

But she recently discovered a critical secret: the whereabouts of the Thunder Battle Armor Helmet.

This attracted the attention of the God of War, who was also prying into this secret.

To prevent the news from leaking, a powerful lineup was sent to search for Mo Duo's whereabouts.

"The whereabouts of the helmet..." Li Yu frowned deeply. He had previously predicted that this would very likely bring some trouble due to investigating this matter.

"There shouldn't be any major trouble arising here anymore. It just so happens that the matters on the Council's side also need to be put on the agenda." His eyes flickered, and without hesitating for too long, he embarked on the path to the Council.

He had long deployed many Transformers at the Council's border area to open doors at any time.

The interior of the Council was quite special, basically having been partitioned completely by the Twelve Main Gods, similar to an Earthly Divine Kingdom.

Any large-scale special Energy Fluctuation would be noticed, and he didn't want to be discovered too early.

…………

"He's been hiding for over two months, is he still not ready to show up!?" Aenius stared at The Hunter with an unfriendly expression, exuding a dangerous Aura.

The Hunter shook his head and wagged his tail, having long grown accustomed to this, and said calmly: "Your Royal Highness Aenius, I need to correct you on one thing. Your Excellency Dragon Lord has not done anything to wrong you or the Star Glory Empire, so please don't use the word 'hide' to describe it."

"If it's not hiding, what is it!?" Aenius shouted coldly: "We agreed to cooperate and strike The Forerunners together."

"Now where are your people? We've already paid the compensation, but he's hiding and won't come out."

The Hunter remained calm and said: "The development of the situation must be divided into stages."

"Previously, the Transformation Legion under the Dragon Lord indeed put in a great effort to cooperate with your side's actions."

"Your Excellency Dragon Lord himself even braved danger and personally infiltrated The Forerunners' Base, killing the First Precursor, a prominent Merit."

"These are enough to give your side an explanation."

Aenius was even more displeased and said: "You have the nerve to mention infiltration? He clearly had the chance to directly end this conflict, why wasn't he willing to let the Other-Dimensional Camp intervene?"

"Wasn't it on purpose? Don't think we don't know what you're thinking."

"Not leaving an opponent for us, are you afraid we'll set our sights on you?"

The Hunter's expression remained unchanged as he said: "Your Royal Highness is wrong about this. The several Lords couldn't get away, and Your Excellency Dragon Lord's combat power fluctuates. Engaging in a head-on war against Super Lifeforms still has some pressure."

"Moreover, even if your side sets its sights on us, what of it? We won't care."

Looking across the entire Interstellar space, the one who best understood the truth of the Other-Dimensional Camp was probably only The Hunter.

He was the one who followed Li Yu the longest, watching helplessly as Li Yu pulled out an Other-Dimensional Camp from nothing.

But in the current situation, even if someone scanned his Spiritual Body, they wouldn't believe that the Other-Dimensional Camp didn't exist.

And when The Hunter also pulled the tiger's skin over himself, only then did he feel how satisfying it was to have the Other-Dimensional Camp standing behind him.

Seeing Aenius's expression growing increasingly ugly, The Hunter didn't continue to provoke her, and instead said: "Your Royal Highness, a mere Forerunner is certainly not your opponent."

"Your Excellency Dragon Lord has urgent matters to handle and truly cannot get away."

Urgent matters?

What urgent matters could he have?

Secretly meeting the Mermaid Princess?

Or openly entering the Nova Palace?

Aenius's face was icy cold, knowing it was useless to keep arguing with The Hunter, she could only get up and leave.

Although the Star Glory Empire could completely execute crushing strikes against The Forerunners on their own.

The efficiency, however, became a problem.

Currently, it was generally this sequence of steps.

The Forerunners collect materials—expose traces and get discovered—Star Glory Empire verifies—sends people over—combat cleanup.

Such a series of processes, even though this was now the Star Glory Empire's top priority, still took ten days to half a month.

Even if they achieved something in the end, The Forerunners could still accomplish their goals.

This was something the Star Glory Empire was unwilling to see.

And now The Forerunners had also learned to be smart.

Our actions might be exposed, right? Then I'll just expose them directly.

After finishing a job, completely evacuate right away. Although this would also bear a portion of losses, it was always better than having the entire branch base annihilated.

So currently, the Star Glory Empire's efficiency and cost-effectiveness in striking The Forerunners were rapidly declining. Yet not knowing what The Forerunners were doing caused their psychological unease to force them to do so.

And Li Yu watching the show at this time truly made the Star Glory Empire psychologically unbalanced.

Unfortunately, what the Star Glory Empire didn't know was that Li Yu had directly skipped to the Council version and wasn't playing with them anymore.

…………

Half a month later, within the Council's territory, the God of Fury—Calvo—looked down at the planet below. He drove a Red War Chariot pulled by two Two-Headed Giant Rhinoceros.

The sides of the chariot were engraved with flame patterns. Wearing the armor of fury, with his hands resting on the edge of the chariot, flames seemed to boil within his pupils.

In the light lingering around his body, one could seemingly see roaring Believers one after another.

The planet below possessed three natural satellites of varying sizes.

The smallest satellite was merely a larger volume ice-rock sphere. If it fell onto the Surface, it would probably just be a giant meteorite.

The other two satellites were situated in two orbits that formed an acute angle but didn't intersect.

And in the vast space between the three satellites and the green Homeworld, up to a thousand space facilities could be found.

These space facilities possessed streamlined, rounded outer shells, with sizes ranging from tens of meters to nearly a kilometer, and their shapes were basically similar.

They looked like slender, olive seed-like oval equipment. On the surface, positions like access hatches, external equipment reservation slots, and cover plates for transformable devices were all surrounded by special patterns.

At the same time, one could faintly see grid-like white fine lines interlacing between these pieces of equipment, forming a large white net that covered the entire planet—the Faith Network!

"My God, this is the Divine Realm of a certain plant Divine Spirit, but he was killed four months ago," a subordinate Divine Guard reported.

"Currently, no one has taken over his Divine Realm yet."

"Is she right here?" Calvo asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, she possesses some kind of ability to cross Divine Realm barriers. We had a very hard time trapping her here."

"Then complete the task as soon as possible. Other battlefields still need me; too much time has already been wasted because of this matter."

Calvo cracked his long whip, striking it against the Two-Headed Giant Rhinoceros, causing them to emit muffled roars.

The chariot rumbled, leaving a trail of flames in the Starry Universe as it headed straight for the planet below.

………

The lifeforms on this planet had never seen such a scene before. The entire sky had turned fiery red.

It was like thunderous sounds streaking through the clouds and mist, yet also like the sound of rolling chariot wheels.

A streak of red Flowing Light glided across the sky. Wherever it passed, a rain of fire fell from the sky, causing massive destruction on the Earth, as if doomsday had arrived.

"The Natural Disaster has descended!"

"My God, have you abandoned us!"

"God of Green Olives, please listen to the prayers of your Believers!"

"..."

Some peculiar lifeforms trembled and crawled on the ground. They were less than a meter tall, completely green all over, with something like a small flower bud on their heads.

Calvo watched this with indifference, driving his chariot towards his Destination.

He originally thought it would take a bit of tossing about to find the target.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he entered this planet, he perceived that deathly Aura that was like Bitingly Cold ice. The target had no concealment whatsoever.

Normally, such a scenario indicated something fishy.

Calvo was a battle-hardened veteran and naturally knew this, but he wouldn't hesitate or stall because of it.

On this planet, the highest point wasn't a mountain peak, but a half-withered plant.

It looked like an olive tree, standing on the earth and reaching straight into the clouds, with several layers of cloud rings lingering around it.

At its top, Mo Duo raised her head, quietly looking at the approaching red Flowing Light in the distance. The high-altitude air currents disturbed her hair, and unusual colors occasionally flashed in her crimson pupils.

A Divine Spirit who newly mastered a portion of the Death God's Authority, with a mysterious origin.

Related information flashed through Calvo's mind, and then he also noticed the stranger beside the other party.

He didn't seem to be a Divine Guard of the God of Death. His face was obscured by a layer of hazy clouds and mist, making his appearance unclear.

Who was he?

In the previous information, there seemed to be no data concerning him.

The Two-Headed Giant Rhinoceros let out muffled roars and hovered in mid-air. Calvo stared closely at the two, reading out like a judgment:

"God of Death, you have touched the taboo of My Lord. By the order of My Lord, I will bring you back to the War God Temple!"

Although this wasn't Li Yu's first time interacting with these Divine Spirits, he still couldn't help but say: "Why are these Divine Spirits still so Eighth-Grade Syndrome? Before every battle, they have to make a declaration."

"This is considered concise." Because Li Yu was by her side, Mo Duo's mood seemed to have improved quite a bit, saying: "You haven't seen an orthodox Divine War battlefield; they practically want to read out the names of the entire Divine Pantheon."

The two's unbridled attitude made Calvo displeased inwardly.

However, although he was the God of Fury and used anger as nourishment, he himself wouldn't get angry easily.

He stared at Li Yu and said: "I am Calvo, the God of Fury under the God of War. May I ask who Your Excellency is?"

He announced his name and background, wanting to intimidate the other party with this.

"You don't need to care who I am, just a minor character." Li Yu waved his hand.

"Then please, Your Excellency, do not stop me next. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourself." The God of Fury was also unceremonious.

He was considered a rather famous enforcer under the God of War, already possessing half a Divine Realm, equivalent to an A5 Level evolution body.

The entire Divine Pantheon was actually a community of shared interests. Among the Divine Spirits, there was no such thing as who worshipped whom; it merely formed a closed loop of interests.

Fighting for the Councilors was essentially also fighting for their own interests.

"You are not qualified to say this yet." Li Yu shook his head and simply raised his hand, without any other movements seen.

Calvo was secretly vigilant. He didn't know who the other party was, but since the other party stood beside the God of Death, it was highly likely an enemy rather than a friend.

That was why his attitude was so overbearing, attempting to intimidate the other party.

But inwardly, he didn't underestimate them at all. On the contrary, he raised his attention to one hundred and twenty percent, avoiding To Suffer an Unexpected Setback.

With his strength, as long as he didn't frontally Provoke Trouble with those Councilors, nothing would go wrong.

Moreover, a Divine Spirit's Corporeal Form was special, and it was very difficult to kill them under normal circumstances.

"Ugh..."

He abruptly widened his eyes, feeling an invisible force lingering around his body. Then he snorted coldly. Since the other party made a move first, don't blame him for being impolite.

"Courting death!"

Boom!!

Calvo's whole body erupted with Divine Power, bursting open this confinement. The chariot was thrown aside, and his whole person crashed towards Li Yu like a cannonball.

His arm muscles bulged, explosive power circulating within them. His fist struck out with a bang, heading straight for Li Yu's face.

However, his fist abruptly stopped in front of Li Yu. The unparalleled fist wind it swept up was like a Bitingly Cold knife, emitting a roaring wind sound, yet Li Yu didn't even blink.

The formidable Power of Fury blasted a massive amount of cracks into this giant tree, leaving it tottering.

At this moment, an arm clasped onto Calvo's throat. The tyrannical Impact didn't even make Li Yu's arm sway in the slightest.

Grabbed by this arm, Calvo couldn't even advance an inch.

Before he could react, Li Yu pinched his neck and violently pressed him toward the Ground!

Rumble!

This giant tree completely collapsed, splitting open from the middle and shattering into countless pieces.

And the one far more panicked than the lifeforms on this planet was none other than Calvo.

He watched helplessly as Red Light Beams shot out from the other party's eyes. That power made him feel terrified, yet he was completely unable to resist.

The other party's palm was like the war hammer of the God of War, suppressing him with unparalleled might.

Buzz!

The Red Light Beams shot in through his eyes, beginning to destroy everything inside his body, starting from the brain, extending along the bones, organs, blood vessels, nerves...

No!

Calvo abruptly changed color. This power wasn't simply destroying his body, but erasing his existence from the source.

"No, how could this be, this kind of power..."

"Ah..."

The shrill wails gradually faded. Under the Omega Effect, this God of Fury didn't even leave a speck of dust behind.
